LGD are fine, by the looks of it. If anything currently LGD is like 3 years ago a highliner of a Chinese meta and this is a good place to be as a LGD fan. OG on the other hand probably wouldn't have got annihilated 0-2 by Newbee on the previous patch... | ||

I definitely agree with you. frequent patches should be used to correct under/overperforming heroes or even items, not to significantly rework game mechanics. i think it would be different if frequent patches were making the game actually more enjoyable to watch, but I've found that pro games have bounced from incredibly sloppy in the last patch to being completely decided by the draft or the first fuckup in the midgame in this patch. it's also kinda devaluing the DPC qualification process in my mind. teams that figure out a particular meta or have a style that suits a particular patch can win a tournament and then if the new patch doesn't suit them, they'll look like T2 teams that should go through the regional qualifiers. i don't think that the combination of the DPC system and the frequent patches is a good thing. | ||

@Nocticate I think Icefrog wanted to make drastic changes before the 2 week cycle experiment was announced. My first impression was similar that the two week patch cycle would be too frequent and may produce many knee jerk changes. After seeing a lot of the patches though, I think Icefrog wasnt happy with the game and how certain fundamental changes to the mechanics were made and he wanted to remedy that before TI. He was going to make big fundamental changes regardless. He needed to use the two week cycle to rapidly test and to implement drastic changes/reversal gradually. Without the patch cycle change, at most he had 2 number patches that he could tinker with. Maybe there was some validity to the rumours about IF being unhappy with some of the changes in recent years) Imo the game is going to be great if it becomes 6.81ish (pre comeback gold) in terms of gold/exp mechanics + the 7.00 map changes, QoL, Talent tree. Talents really help balance the value of Exp vs Gold. Before talents, almost all power spikes came from big item purchases which was why as the top teams got better at macro and controlling sources of gold, games felt decided after 10-20 minutes. Comeback gold (6.82+) was just a cheap and quickfix way of trying to give the losing team a source of gold. | ||
