I didn't had enough time to play yet (University projects :( )
But I saw some game play with a lot of mf/Quinn decks.. My question is the following: why Quinn? Seems like she is there just to take a champ slot, why not run gp or garden as better 5 drop.
I mean the Quinn level up is kind of bad... And her stats aren't great either.
I agree with meisterz39 about the article's tone, I think you should separate opinion posts from news post, this is by essence a policy change, a news post, it would better if you made a small news post and then made a comparison more in depth post about the change (I mean it's less spammy than the riot's reveal season with 4 news posts per champion).
I agree with everything you said actually but I want to point something about the gold cap and gold per win actually.. that system is the worst.. I am aware they have plans that by the end of the year they are revamping the system as a whole but 6 years, really?
the amount of gold given for *wins* is pathetic, you need to win 3 games (at least 30 minutes of play on average in the best case) to gain 1/10 of a pack price or 1/15 of arena price that's pathetic, and they even CAP it? you are playing for hours and all you get in ONE pack..?
(*LOL, TFT, LoR and valorant) (sadly didn't saw that part on this site.. not blaming you the article was mostly about league..)
and.. they managed to battle them they were afraid of them as well but found out how to deetect them.. instead of punishing players by giving shitty rewards (10 gold per 3 wins and exp cap, and garbage exp rewards) they fight the bots..
I mean do you even remember HS have an exp system?
Sure, but how much better is it than a one turn battle trick? Most effects in runeterra are a one turn thing mostly because they tend to be more interesting that way and can be made to be more powerful..
you need to sink so much mana into it and when you do play it you only have one blocker with that effect, it got a few counter cards..
on control you need those counter cards.. on midrange/aggro you need to be able to end the game when your opponent over commits on ONE blocker..
Games don't last for very long right now as far as I have seen they maximum end at turn 9~10 so.. paying 8 mana is either the win condition (for fiora/teemo) or a waste of mana cause you can't handle their board.
Dunno, I feel like they could go deeper (heh..) about the inspiration and direction of the art.. All they really do is to show uncolored versions of the released product and tell a joke.
That being said I liked the bioshock reference for nautilus.
It was an interesting read.. But they didn't actually go over what the end design meant for most champions.. Why does karma 1 create random spells for example, why is ezreal about targeting enemies(I mean I know.. Cause of skills hots.. But still would like them to mention it)
Seems like a bad idea, specially since you can't really manipulate your hp.
Also it doesn't fit Annie, she is all about fire and burning stuff, why is your hp stat suddenly the source of her power.
A 20/20 for 1 mana doesn't feel fair, you also get punished for winning.
It doesn't represent her current state in league, tibbers keeps attacking for a few seconds when Annie dies..
Annie isn't useless without tibbers either, she has a shield (should translate to barrier in LoR) and a small aoe stun/burning could be translated to some kind of aoe stun on level up (her R)
Also I hate the idea of de leveling.
Can't find anything salvageable about you design, except her summoning tibbers on level up which is quite obvious.
Yeah I agree with changing the combo buff, taking one hp from edwin's body won't do much.. I mean.. You just said you made a 24/24 what difference would a 23 hp Edwin make?
yes it's intended.. since the unit is generated there's no way you get a way to decide on who to replace for it so it would create a feelsbad moment where a good unit will be replaced with.. a spiderling..
Thanksfully we won't need to wait 6 months for it to be nerfed like a certain Undertaker card
Oh right.. damn next week then.. I expect RIot to address the card in some way they already got feedback about it.
Today is patch notes day hopefully it gets addressed.
wait 4 days for balance patch.

Riot made an article about botting in LoR : https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev/dev-anti-cheat-in-lol-more/

Was expecting riot to notice trends in other games and as a new player on the field do it right, right away instead of the blizzard way which is:
A bug appears or there is a lack of a requested feature which is annoying but not game breaking.
It annoys players
Blizzard ignores it for years or promise to fix it/add it soon(tm)
Players coop with it.
One day they fix it
Players are "so" greatful for the fix.
That's being extremely annoying
Example: deck slots.
This is awesome IDK why they didn't had this trailer worldwide, it's really nicely done specially the champion poros :D
also the music is catchy :D
No packs no "watch"
Oh so all those articles are made by the site content makers? I thought those were rioters who made those.
Sure, but how much better is it than a one turn battle trick? Most effects in runeterra are a one turn thing mostly because they tend to be more interesting that way and can be made to be more powerful..
For example a +4/+4 for one turn costs 4 (Fury of the North) while a permanent +2/+1 costs 2/3 mana (Pocket Aces) or very restricted (Stand Alone/Take Heart).
The point is.. Would it be better to play 2 barriers on fiora, that are more useful and cheaper, rather than a 8 mana card which is more specific.
you need to sink so much mana into it and when you do play it you only have one blocker with that effect, it got a few counter cards..
on control you need those counter cards.. on midrange/aggro you need to be able to end the game when your opponent over commits on ONE blocker..

How they came up with hecarim's final design..

Jinx, Pool Shark or Pick a Card
Probably pool shark as you would recall jinx being played.
It's not my idea it's vandaren's idea.
I think op took inspiration from crowd's favorite nerf with his suggestion(LoR card)
Yeah I agree with changing the combo buff, taking one hp from edwin's body won't do much.. I mean.. You just said you made a 24/24 what difference would a 23 hp Edwin make?
If it was 2/1 per combo it would be 24/13.
I am not going to play the guessing game, if it happens screenshot it.
if your units are stunned the blocking phase is skipped, swain probably stunned more than 1 unit.
yes it's intended.. since the unit is generated there's no way you get a way to decide on who to replace for it so it would create a feelsbad moment where a good unit will be replaced with.. a spiderling..
