It occurs to me now that not making the thread title "League of Legends S4.5: I think everyone is overtuned" was a missed opportunity. Also the ultimate skin is clearly going to be #LCSBIGPLAYS Lee Sin. Also the Victorious skin will be for him and one of the winning team skins. chumbler fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Aug 8, 2014 |

Darth Windu posted:Also what Brannock said. His default skin is so garbage. You take that the gently caress back. Default Hobodyr is still the best Udyr. Also I remember the patch when they first introduced muramana and it dealt magic damage and procced on each hit of Syndra's ult and Ahri's W. That was a fun patch. I think it only procs once for those spells now, but I haven't actually checked in a while.

That's not entirely accurate, as you didn't even actually have ult before demolishing the Quinn goon in that match.

Catpiss Neverclean posted:On the subject of Gangplank, this rework suggestion popped up on Imgur the other day and it's....interesting to say the least. It's also goddamn unreadable. That person needs to either lay out their text in a nice font (actually they need to do that period) and better structure or cut out a shitload of text. The rise of "infographics" has been terrible for actually effectively communicating information. You're not supposed to load them down with text! That is literally the exact opposite of how they're supposed to be used! As for Gangplank himself, he mostly just suffers from a lack of any real identity and just having a grab bag of individually really useful skills that have to be kind of weak or he'd be overbearing. I think changing his Q to be unable to crit (which would be massively unpopular, granted) with some usability buffs in exchange would be a good start. Yeah winning the lottery sometimes is fun, but I think overall having that chance prevents him from getting changes elsewhere. chumbler fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Aug 10, 2014 |

Rather than that, make it so that Gangplank doesn't take 10% of all income, but takes the kill/assist gold and kill credit on any kill he's part of for himself. And teammates don't even get an assist credit from it either. The captain gets all the glory.

Brannock posted:Does anyone have any live experience with Ardent Censer on Karma? I see it trumpeted for Sona, Soraka, and Janna, but not really Karma. Mantra Shield is already ridiculously strong, giving your entire team +25% attack speed seems like it'd send it over the top. I really wish they'd let censer affect the caster if they shield/heal themselves. It's one of those restrictions that feels like it's there mostly just because Riot wanted to make sure interesting builds don't happen. Either that or they couldn't get it to not proc off lifesteal.

Brannock posted:Dear Gold players, stop loving picking Thresh. He loving sucks now, he got all the power gutted out of his kit because he had actually fun mechanics and interaction in the game and Riot absolutely cannot tolerate that because they're intentionally setting out to make the game as bland oatmeal as possible. Thresh joins Elise in the dumpster, soon to be accompanied by Lee Sin once Riot finishes rolling out their original Lee nerfs as slowly as possible so the community won't notice. I for one approve of the dumpstering of Thresh, Elise, and Lee Sin.

I'm glad to see that they're focusing on Viktor's Q and R in addition to his passive, as they are by far his least interesting skills, what with being shittier clones of other champions' skills and all. And headhunter Caitlyn continues to be a skin that can be ignored, but really all of the headhunter skins are pretty lame. Except arguably Nidalee's, but that might be more because the rest of her skins are bad or just recolors.

Skarner and Yorick still have nothing past their release skins and aren't (at least as far as I know) due for any visual updates. And that's also despite battlecast Skarner being teased for what, 2 years now? With a cruel reminder of how we still don't have roboscorpion in the splash art of a lovely skin for a lovely champion.

itsjustdrew posted:Who would? It's a stupid idea. The whole point of the mana, energy, rage system is to have slightly different builds and tactics, right? Maybe give a few more rage / energy/ what other form they can think of using to balance it out a bit though. Unfortunately in many cases those slightly different tactics pretty much boil down to "spam on cooldown." Riot does not have a good handle on balancing resource systems or management, and part of the reason the game has problems with prevalent wave clearing in particular is that they have done a poor job of handling resource management (i.e., pretty much deciding that resource management is anti-fun). itsjustdrew posted:Why not? I like it, especially on AA heavy champs like ashe, MF or cait. It's on absolutely the wrong price tier (it should not be competing with IE), you can't get it early when the mana regen would matter a lot more and rushing it means you lose to someone who bought an actually good item, and as a late item it is handily beaten by BT. It's a poorly conceived and balanced item, but that's nothing new for items in this game. Really they need to reevaluate the price tiers for carry items (merc scimitar and reaver should not be competing with IE, and last whisper should, for example) and dispense with the notion that normalizing the AD on them is a good idea. chumbler fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Aug 17, 2014 |

Libertine posted:It's because the idea of using the pick and ban phase to plan your team strategy and to counter their top picks (and strategize against the expectations of what they are doing given what they show) goes out the window if their 1st and 2nd picks can be played in 2 or 3 roles. That's why Lulu, Kayle, Alistar, etc. have been such contested picks in competitive League of Legends. If a champion is able to regularly be very successful in multiple roles with completely different play-styles, it's generally a sign that champion is overall too strong. Alistar will probably get nerfs before the end of the season because of this. Lulu and Kayle have already gotten a bunch of nerfs because of this and they are still very strong flex picks. Being able to run champions in multiple possible roles is a good thing, and if alternate strategies to deal with that aren't viable or focused champions can't compete, then those things are the problem, to which the solution is not immediately implementing a ham-fisted nerf to ensure that any champion can only ever do one specific thing on a team in one specific lane.

The Shyvana one is cool (though nobody actually walks like that), but the Vayne one has some problems with perspective and motion. I'm assuming they're trying to show her mid-tumble backwards based on her cape, but based on the trees and the moon behind her, it looks more like the viewer is looking almost straight up at Vayne falling from above or passing over them. And the background has what looks like a blur from the viewer spinning? Stupid boots aside Vayne looks decent enough, but the background just doesn't seem to fit. Like where and who is the viewer supposed to be? Cyber Yasuo's helmet still looks dumb, but the rest of the skin is cool. chumbler fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Aug 22, 2014 |

I'm not sure that projectile blocking can really be called common now that it exists on two champions instead of one, but it's a good addition to the game. Braum's is more or less fine since he still takes whatever effect is attached to the projectile even if he nullifies the damage (root Braum in one spot while he shields to leave the rest of his team open, etc.), and you can still damage him after the first block even while it's up. Yasuo's I think should be a bit more strict in its requirements since it's a full block that costs him literally nothing but the cooldown, though. I think it shouldn't become active immediately, instead activating after the half second or so travel time. That forces him to be more predictive with it and judge positioning better rather than "skill shot/aoe ult? Whoop, reaction negated." They should also spread the mechanic around more. Let a charged Janna tornado block projectiles while it moves out. Let Viktor's gravity well be upgraded to slow or stop them. Let Zilean freeze projectiles around him for a half second or so. Hell, have Garen's ult leave behind the sword for a couple seconds to block projectiles and pathing. Let Morde's W block or reduce projectile damage to spice him up.
