after everyone was bashing on it here, i offhandedly asked my friend that currently works there on their networking side. in other words, he doesn't handle any of the programming and their departments are segregated. - when i asked him about the shitty source code, he says that he doesn't know but he wouldn't be surprised as riot was such a small company back then - then i asked him if the shitty coding was a reason why they don't have a replay system, and why it took them so long to get a half-assed obs system. he said that he didn't know much about it and gave a real pr response by saying it was probably 'in their priorities' and they have a 'whole team' dedicated to working towards it. he says that valve in this case had a huge advantage because of all their experience with coding cs replays/obs systems which i honestly found hilarious (in a good way) that he'd give such a canned response cause s2 games had full replay and obs but i'm nice and i didn't want to give him a hard time - he talked about (i forget the name) one of the champions that has a kind of lc/axe duel taunt in an aoe, creates a kind of wall/barrier that prevents other champions from escaping the area the coding for the walls is actually just a modified minion because the game doesn't have a code for creating actual obstacles - likewise, he talked about a champion that threw balls (i forget the name again) at other heroes and those balls are also minions | ||

seasoning is just whatever you want the noodle to taste like, the illusion that certain seasoning go with certain noodles is something created from mass market ignorance | ||

the replay issue is a fundamental one that arises from the LoL patch system, in any system with a spectator client (which lol does), the implementation of a simple replay system is trivial. The problem arises when given LoL's patch management - any replay is attempted to be viewed in a patch that is not current. With no ability to retrograde to the previous patch due to the awful practice of scanning and overriding the source files instead of a robust iterative system, there is no way for replays to work for more than the 2 weeks after the next riot-approved decrees are made. | ||

At no point were they forced to work within the limitations of something which was basically designed to let people make cool new ladder maps plus some imaginative campaigns. | ||

the original way slark ulti was implemented was literally superimposing a piece of terrain on top of the hero that cuts line of sight | ||

What we are questioning is why a corporation that has full access to the source code of the game is acting like they're editing a fucking Warcraft 3 custom map. | ||

i can see how they're doing the best with what they have now it's going to be interesting to see how valve is going to implement source 2 without fucking up any of the current cosmetics and other mechanics | ||
