Free anything is good, but saying it's an additional creep each wave is misleading. Especially considering it isn't even a full creep on the first wave and it only becomes less since creep gold scales and TF doesn't. | ||

More early game dominators and more late-game carries, and make sure that you don't have champs like Riven and Tryndamere that are BOTH early game dominators AND late-game carries. This creates laning situations where the weaker scaling champion has to go aggressive and try to stop the other person's farm, because of how they get outscaled. At the moment, everyone scales too closely, so it's not punishing enough to one side for a matchup to turn into a farmfest. 2) Somehow significantly increase the technical skill requirements in fighting out 1v1s. Make it harder to judge who can win 1v1 situations, simply because of how widely the result can vary based on skill. Lots of 1v1s have very easy-to-predict results because people just right-click each other and press their skills on cooldown, and if it's easy to predict the result, then the guy who knows he's going to lose is obviously going to pussy out. If the results of a given situation can vary more widely, you're more likely to get those scenarios where people fight it out because they think they can win, because the result isn't as clear. Don't agree, you can make it so that at lower levels the more aggressive player will kill the other one and at higher levels the more aggressive player will constantly send the other one back, THEN start killing him once he's been badly weakened. Either way you get kills, just at a higher level it would take longer because you'd have to cripple your opponent with repeated bluepills. Same result though. | ||

It wouldnt hurt, but it probably wouldnt help all that much. You cant 1v1 towerdive unless you have a full health bar, or your lane opponent is horrendously underleveled, and if they made tower diving possible 90% of the community would qq up a storm if they kept getting dove 1v2 by a jungler and laner. Plus, it STILL doenst help the fact that the risk isnt worth it. Farm ALL the minions>trying for kills. | ||

And how do you propose doing that without just straight-up increasing the early game damage output that champs can do to each other--which is probably even MORE out of the question from Riot? | ||

Spend less time killing small camps, more time to run around and do things. This doesn't make any bloody sense because the camps are going to be up more often, so each gank actually has a higher opportunity cost than before. | ||

unfortunately he described a game that is pretty much DOTA. high damage early on, broader range of champ scale types (i have been saying since the first game i played of LoL that AP scaling is retarded), champs that are NOT full-game dominators, higher technical skill... and these are the reasons dota is so popular and competitive. long lanes make it so you can't just pussy behind your tower, denying makes it so if you back off the enemy can pull the lane toward them even harder, weaker towers make it so you can go for kills aggressively even early, lose gold on death gives incentive to do all that risky shit, etc in their eagerness to make LoL a different game from DOTA, riot took away a lot of the "depth" of the genre in favor of more "fun." is it bad? fuck no, LoL is super fun and can still be competitive. is it "deep"? not really... not DOTA deep. again, not a bad thing, they're different games, but in order to make a more competitive deeper game, riot would have to pick up some of the key points they intentionally dropped IMO | ||

Same way they've been doing it, reduce the penalties and increase the rewards for hitting people. That's the idea of the creep damage nerf, healing nerfs, potion nerfs, etc. it's still not there but when I started playing a year ago the game was noticeably more passive, especially if you go back and watch tournament games, holy shit they're so boring. | ||

Some champs (Lee Sin, nukers, Fizz, ...) would just dive 24/7 then. And don't forget you have a free blink in this game with Flash. Towers are quite good atm. Maybe they should hit creeps a little harder though to make it harder to creep under tower, this way being overpushed would FINALLY be a pain. | ||
