If you list the 6300 champions before season 1, it was quite accurate. Anivia, Karthus, Twitch, Blitzcrank, Corki, Ezreal were all pretty hard champions to start with in comparaison to other. But then they release Miss Fortune at 6300 and everyone knew it was over. | ||

Also, Jax crazy good. And EU isn't even patched yet... still, I always lacked HP when we lost in close encounters. So previous Jax was probably even scarier. omg o.o Edit: someone's telling me his E dodges spells, not only auto-attacks. Is that true? I didn't notice anything of the sort. | ||

Yeah, they just buffed it so it also effects AoE damage. -.- | ||

It reduces the damage of AoE spells by 25% with the latest patch. If it does anything more than that, it's bugged. | ||

I've said this before, but they absolutely can't play the 'woe is us we're poor and we desperately need every micro-transaction we can get' card. They announced 5 million worth of prizes for 1 year of competition. A company doesn't dump that kind of money(and then there's the other money they spend to have tourney organizers not host a HoN/Dota competition at any event LoL is in, and I'm sure there's other costs associated with just the competitive side of the game) if they're strapped for cash. Now, this is a capitalist society and they're allowed to make money, but I'm allowed to complain about their prices and not buy into it. The point I made before is that apparently TONS(millions) of people are perfectly fine dropping hundreds of dollars on this game, so Riot will NEVER change these practices, in fact it appears they are so certain people will continue their spending that they are doing even more things(not releasing cheap heroes, not reducing prices of old ones, not releasing new champ bundles) to get money from the transactions. While they removed dodge runes, they added hybrid pen, lifesteal, and spell vamp runes(their effectiveness is a non issue, it's more runes to buy, and given they have balanced runes before it's possible for it to happen again and their cost to instantly become a necessary investment for competition). Getting to the real response of your quote though(ranty, I know), the rune pages are essentially a requirement for a decent level of competition. At best, anyone breaking just above the casual playing line needs(or, at least REALLY wants 4-5, at which point they probably just want to buy the bundle and not drop 13k-20k of IP. Someone who spends the RP here has a measurable 'power' increase over someone with the default 2(especially for 'young' accounts, who are really strapped for IP to pick between more runes for variability, or more rune pages to make use of said variability). Even disregarding my disappointment at their entire business practice, at the very least if they 'made up for the loss' of rune page sales somewhere else that wasn't as important to the balance of the game(runes) then it would keep them at the same level of income while not strong arming people into the rune bundle. This problem is only going to keep getting worse as the game ages. LoL may have an easier 'learning' curve, but anyone who wants to play the game at more than a casual level is quickly reaching a point where the game is just not possible to be played free, because you are too far behind on IP grinding to catch up doing it that way. | ||

I'm on the high end of games played at that. The 6.3k line is just a load of crap: they don't need to have them that high to limit the rate at which people acquire new champions. At most if they cut the price of a champ every time they released a new one then it would make some sense, as the new champ wouldn't get flooded, but the amount of IP needed overall would be less massive. The total IP cost of all champions in the game is 326,550. Note that they charge the same RP for a 3150, 4800, or 6300 champ. So anyway, the common "argument" is that high IP costs on champions will make people spend more RP. Given how I've already shown that I only have 156,600 IP worth of champions (less than half of the total) with a huge number of games played compared to the typical player, it's pretty obvious that the 6.3k tag has little meaningful difference to whether or not someone will buy it with rp and, if they're going to buy it with RP anyway, 3150 vs 6300 IP is the same cost in RP. | ||

Also there was a Karthus bot that was ulting whenever we had someone with low health and would cast his wall in your retreat path. Cho bot was never smart enough to Fizzure your retreat path. | ||
