I mean, the CD on blink dagger is what? 15-30 seconds? Can you imagine a roaming Alistar with blink dagger with the ability to roflwtfpwn your face every time his cds are down? That'd be straight up retarded imo. you're looking at it the wrong way alistar is a powerful champ who is limited by flash's long cooldown because he is reliant. yes, his skills are useful in combat, but undoubtedly they are 50x MORE useful when his flash is up. he *should* be able to flash every 30 seconds to do his combo OFFENSIVELY. the problem occurs when he can pop his ult, soak up damage for 6 seconds, and then flash to safety. that's 100x more frustrating than a good initiate (which is what alistar is supposed to do anyways). | ||

LoL in essence rewards passive play when two teams are equal in skill. Because of how the game works people always look for their opponents to fuck up rather than taking initiative. Late game when inhibs are down neither team, especially the winning team has any incentive to fight and too often games are dragged on needlessly due to pussiness which the game heartily encourages. I really would like to see any changes that makes people want to fight for its own sake rather than always having to fight FOR something like drag, baron, etc. | ||

It was incredible to watch but got somewhat old with the time I think. Especially all the blinking around. But I still get chills when I watch this movie The Virtus Pro Movie | ||

In halo, you fight for objectives and positions, but that fighting involves constant pushes that result in kills. In BW (potentially moreso than SC2), you fight for positioning, resources and many more variables, but that fighting involves engagement. Assuming I interpret zulu correctly, one of league's problems is that for the large majority of a game, you achieve your objectives through farming. Enemy team farming - better farm so you don't fall behind. Enemy roaming instead of farming - farm to build an advantage. Enemy with a sure early dragon - keep farming to lessen the disadvantage, or take top tower. The problem lies somewhere between the difficulty to gank an aware, competent player without many long cooldowns and that farming can accomplish the same goal. Personally, I agree; the game should be played like as a MOAB, not as a warcraft-pvp-simulation-complete-with-80%-farming. | ||

So how do you encourage fights? 1v1 fights: Forget it. Good players know whether they can win a 1v1 or not. jungle/roamer ganks: I don't think you should change too much there. Dragon: A nice way to force fights. Increase in value if you feel there aren't enough fights over it. Should take long to solo, but not hit too hard so you can do it early with help. That Dragon debuff already does this pretty decently, maybe he hits a bit too hard currently. Buffs: Give them a team wide bonus, be it exp, gold, or a team wide buff. This should lead to teams intruding the enemy jungle, which in turn leads to more fights. Balance between junglers would need to be adjusted unless you want Nunu permabanned and only 2-3 viable junglers. | ||

There's nothing wrong with both more or less fighting from a competitive player's perspective, but I guess most viewers want to see fights since it's easier to see good play in fights than it is to recognize awesome laning skills.

Laning will never be more aggressive than it is now because certain champs just win, good players know that, and they play safe. | ||

Increase health, lower turret damage, make bushes further away from the lane itself, increase global speed so that you can get back to lane faster if you die, lower death timers and rewards for kills. | ||
