Any thoughts from TL? i'd specialize in a class of champions, like ranged ad or supports or tanks or tanky ad or whatever, so you are not completely useless when your main is banned/picked by someone else | ||

Like there are replays. In terms of architecture, LoL is a regular deterministic RTS game, the problem of making replays for that one has been solved countless times. It's a month of work for one programmer. With tests included. Okay, if you implement the infrastructure (see HoN and their replay database), it's more, but they are goddamn making replays for almost a year. Same with Magma Chamber and Project Shiny. The time they have taken to do it already exceeds the deadline for a complete game (provided you're using a licensed engine). And they don't have the design issues, only the graphics. Lol what? It's like when they say "Our programmers are working on a new system that will allow global ult ranges to be displayed on the minimap" and they do with such pride as if it was anything even remotely close to a hard task. Wake up, Riot, it's an extremely simple mundane interface upgrade that takes 3 days at most to get done. By one person. And they talk about it as if they have a magician that is weaving intricate magical spells to get shit done. Spectator mode my ass. How hard is it really to stream the game state to one more client and block the user input for it? Ugh. | ||

At early levels nothing tells you as much about the game in general as getting good at jungling. (Map control, awareness, which are easy/hard matchups/the importance of objectives/buffcontrol and how to lead a team to achieve those.) To be honest I actually started it cuz I sucked even more at lasthitting, but that's another story. | ||

How hard is it really to stream the game state to one more client and block the user input for it? Ugh. It SHOULD be easy. However that is only the case if the current client/server code architecture is at least somewhat reasonable. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a huge mess. Replays become a bit harder if you have to consider patches, but it's not like you can't use an existing version control system and work it into the game. Riot stated that the lack of version management is the main reason replays are held back. It's not unlikely that they want to clean up all the other crap as well while they're at it. They have to restructure a lot of their code anyways. I thought about the Gravedigger in OOT as well  | ||

I don't understand exactly why Riot is so slow, but they are ridiculously slow, that is a fact. Version control is a fine argument if only it was not done by S2 games months BEFORE the release. Riot's web storage is still a joke compared to what HoN had at release, and the game is like years old already. In HoN, you can go into anyone's match history almost as deep as you want, and DL and watch replays for each of those games. In LoL you can only look through 10 last games in match history and only see the stats of the player himself, but not the other 9 people participating. Since Riot is also failing community projects (see recent drama) I have no idea where they dump all the money they're getting. | ||
