tbh not gonna lie id rather see their base damage values go back up to a degree and have lethality items nerf a bit, atleast just in their effects , tho riot even did say they keep champions like zed undertuned on purpose just because it feels bad to verse him
(shrugs) idk im someone whos always think lethality was an issue since its release due to ofc any ad champion being able to buy it thus is why like graves abuses it all
lethality items are busted and should be removed from the game,
so many ad champions become problematic due to such things existing for instance Briar only busted due to lethality items existing, (now they are over nerfing her due to the effects of them bruiser briars on the weak side) graves also fit in this he becomes disgusting due to being able to build collector and other lethality, Duskblade is finally getting removed so some champions cant abuse it anymore which is nice,
but they should just remove them all. tbh i kinda wish we could go back to some of the older items to see how much of an effect that would have on things,
riots gonna end up nerfing her into the ground soon so i would also hold off on saying its a success, people also lack the understanding to be able to deal with briar, (mostly lower elo players lack this) which is where i still see her constantly being banend in
i hope they find a way to make her bruiser build better
ive been saying this alot for along time esp when i climbed through gold along time ago, lvl 30 accounts and fresh accounts should never have the MMR of gold +
idc if someones smurfing or what but start players out as iron/bronze/low silver
idk how many people ive seen just not know what tf they are doing in ranked let alone know the basics enough to be playing ranked they just get to lvl 30 and go right into it, and those people generally go 0-10
and if its not that they are bot accounts
100% they already know this but dont care, i doubt anyone would look at any playback they have to do to makesure everything is going fine and working before worlds start and say this looks GREAT
scripting has been a huge issue in ranked for awhile, also one of many things people tell riot is an issue with the game, now the question is riot doing something about it or are they ignoring it like all the other issues people tell them, (most likely ignoring it) esp when there are still so many bot and buyable accounts
yeah new champion design def isnt for velkoz,
this is one reason why im starting to hate league for isntance just look at ksante,
they say mobility is high skill expression, which to a degree yes, but not once every champion has it,
idk riot can pretend to take in feedback, and then just ignore it completely, u dont know whats going on there, theres been plenty of cases where they sat there and ignored the community, and its been for the worse, for instance old chemtech drake,
rioters are like we want good constructive feedback, players give that feedback nothing happens, maybe they took it in maybe they didnt however nothings worse than a smug rioter thinking they know whats best and inserts their foot into their mouth
the game would still function yes, the quality of the matches would be terribly atrocious, it makes me wonder what rank u are to come to this conclusion, its definitly not high
yeah we would like to communicate more in the game, sorry weak people dont know things like mute exist in league let alone when they tried to remove all chat, when u had to OPT into all chat to begin with, u could opt out of it as well,
communicating more in league would be benificial, like for instance VC would be so nice so we wouldnt have to worry about people typing in chat, or struggling to relay a strat to ur team, all riot would have to do is add in a mute and report function to it easily these systems already exist its the failures of the playerbase of not using them and then riot reacting to those dumb people not using these systems
like hell valo has vc is it toxic sometimes but ull always have a little bit of toxicity, guess what these players get weeded out eventually or muted letting the rest of the normal players use vc
thats just the internet being the internet ALOT of people dont condone death threats, but we cant control the minority of people doing it. it would be nice if we could but its the fucking internet,
and the game had severe issues for so long and these systems being implimented make it worse,
but u acting like everyone who is giving valid critism is also sending death threats is beyond stupid
stfu educate urself and learn about the issues in league before u talk,
i think u should get the fuck out because it was his own fault, and riot made these changes, he didnt have to make the wrong comments like oh just type Karthus ulti, in a game where typing and not controlling ur character is a bad choice,
this would be interesting, i can see many cases of it being completely busted
however i wonder if theres a case where just like death fires grasp would be slightly more balanced in this mythic era, if we had an item that increased ultimate projectile speed, maybe not base projectiles that would be absurdly busted, but for instance like ashe briar, jinx, vex (even more funny ends like senna even faster than her light of speed one) luxs might be a bit too much, and then i wonder how it would work with velkozs. because isnt his still technically a projectile, i could be wrong with the info on that one since its been awhile
i always hate these dumb its a free game comments, guess what people paying for skins keeps your (free game) alive
u see these same types of comments on gacha games like genshin impact, and these people dont understand that people are paying to keep ur free game active
i bet if people stopped paying all together ur free game wouldnt be free or alive anymore
the thing is theres people doing both. criticizing his job preformance and the internet will always have people that attack others with threats yada yada, however people are using the threat side to shut down all criticization
idk what drugs ur on but share, leagues in an overall worse state to where people dont even want to touch the game, ive played since season 3 and i dont even want to touch this game or play ranked anymore since its atrociously bad
pings being removed would create more toxicity, less ways to relay proper information in the game,
not everyone is sending death threats but there are some, alot of people sent critical feedback on why the removal of pings is bad and how it removes 6 years of progress of communication we needed in the game,
you must be pretty low elo or dont play ranked at all if u come to this conclusion,
if riot wanted to truely lessen toxicity in league they need to fix the issues the playerbase had pointed out that are the clear issues of the games,
Greifing : its way to easy to hard and soft int games - effect Causes toxicity
Bot/buyable accounts: its way to easy to just go on a website buy a 5$ bot account and run it down, theres also still bots in ranked greifing game - effect causes toxicity
Lack of proper communication: having to rely on text to get information across removing control over ur character while u type while pings did somewhat help this issue it will never be true communication like we need being voice coms - effect causes toxicity
High elo betting and win trading accounts : people wintrade at higher elo and use betting websites on streamers and pros - effect causes toxicity,
Introduction of hidden lobbies: u can nolonger look at the lobbies ur about to go into and play so u cant avoid people greifing effectivly making it so they have free roam to ruin games - effect causes toxicity
riot has the ability to fix these issues but dont, They can track all these bot accounts for instance and purge them, BUT WONT theres sites out there that u can search these accounts and it will show it
voice chat is severely needed at this point, valo has it, just give us a similar system, give us the option to mute people with it and report voice com abuse just incase EASY,
and then in the long run that will give us people who dont abuse voice the best source of communication we need, elevating the game and teamwork,
im tired of having to work around pings constantly, and then dont get me started on having to explain things through chat, which was a big issue in the past which is why we moved to pings,
tbh its his own fault and riots fault, they keep making increasingly bad descisions that keep getting on the communities bad side, and they know these choices are bad but they still go through with them, Riot knows its a small amount of people being truely toxic in their game and the normal players sometimes get toxic due to the actions being done in their games, be it the severe greifing thats been going on, the bought bot accounts yada yada,
and they try to remove communication normal players need, imo league needs better communication, hell valo has voice coms league can use them too, that way we wont have to worry about people typing paragraphs in allchat, and go figure guess what MUTE EXISTS IN THE GAME, all the toxicity stems from riots inaction to actually fix the game and the issues that the playerbase keeps telling them are the issues,
now i dont condone death threats but its the internet u cant stop them
the only thing that feels like a chore is the players tbh, like some of the players are absolutely horrible, heck in my games i get plat players that play like bronze, having no clue what to do or how to play the game, (one our support even forgot to buy an item let alone their support item) and then one issue i saw awhile back many seasons that ive always hated, was the fact that new accouns start out at high silver/gold+ mmr, and these players also go into ranked and just hard int, its not their fault but the mmr system
