I believe RiotRara has said that the next two champions are going to be good so Riot is taking more time to work on them. We are still on the "1 champion/2 week" schedule. I would much prefer 3 weeks per, but Riot needs dem monies. | ||

Her farming is incredibly easy. Mana issues are a problem, but allievated through either blue buff, or failing that two Dorans/Mana Regen Yellows/Masteries. Essentially, she's a bit less of a lane bully than LeBlanc, but fire most of her burst from a very safe distance when teamfights start. Discuss. Above: People feel a lot better about buying RP in smallish amounts, rather than spending 75 dollars all at once to get all the new champions. That's sort of the point of their business model, allowing you to gradually spend 10 dollars here and there rather than all at once. Lux is great for a kite/poke team, meaning you must team comp around such a champion. Lux gets a bad rap for being a bad AP because if you don't have an appropriate team, Lux doesn't function as well in quick fights. Her very low CDs gears her more as a sustain AP than your typical burst one. | ||

Instead of recording a bunch of pro plays, record a bunch of the stupid shit that happens in high Elo, complete with the chat rage.

Nah, they just gotta add the right bundle options, and point out that 10 champions in 6 months is actually less new champions than we'd get from the 2-week patch cycle, and more time spent on each one! | ||

I've gone 7/1 in games where I was absolutely not carrying in the slightest, but just happened to take a fair amount of kills from my teammates who were carrying. Not to say that I wasn't useful, but you grab a lot more kills at the same "feed level" than with other champions. Lux doesn't function as well in quick fights. Her very low CDs gears her more as a sustain AP than your typical burst one. Err, my experiences are the opposite. Her CDs are pretty damn large (with the exception of her Ult, of course). But she does a LOT of burst, the majority of it AOE. You can chain spells so that all of them detonate within a second. The nice thing with her is that you don't have to invest defensively at all later on. You can just build straight Deathcap->Void Staff->Hourglass/Lich Bane/whatever. | ||

Honestly, from a balance stand point they need to stop. From the view point of my attention span they need a new one tomorrow. | ||

New discussion topic: Non-regular supports that you think can work. I've been playing fiddlesticks as support, it makes for a decent kill lane. Especially on hard engages. Pretty fun shit. Also been seeing some Ashe's as support, seemed fairly successful. Seen some GP support, to some mediocre success. Also, what happened to Taric in lane? He seemed to disappear off the face of the map. No real support changes except nerfs to soraka and sona... which, you would think, would make Taric better. But however, what happened is Janna/Alistar/Nunu botlane became the exclusive supporters. Support Orianna can be fine if you're able to deal with her mana regen problems - her W E and R are all very strong support abilities. Taric's problem is that he has some of the individually worst abilities of any support, aside from his E early/midgame. His heal is huge CD if you're not meleeing, Shatter's active relies on him being in melee (and isn't even the strongest variant of that kind of ability), Dazzle falls off really hard later in the game, and Radiance is just a shitty version of Sona's Q that, again, requires being in melee. Combine all those things with the complete change in his ultimate from "AoE team heal over time effect" to "strong self-heal" to "like Hymn of Valor, but bad", and you're left with a champion whose only lategame factor is that he gives +30 armor and has +60 armor naturally. Also, Taric's passive is the worst in the game. I'd trade his for Evelynn's any day. | ||

She bursts and does a lot of aoe damage in midgame, and late-midgame, merely because people haven't really quite made their defensive MR items, and are relatively squishy in midgame, compared to her damage out put. She suffers from the "leblanc syndrome" as I call it, in which if you can extend the game to late game, a fed lux isn't a problem at all. | ||

And Riot built Taric as a support champion. That auto-attack passive, real wtf. They should redesign that... | ||

That's why Riot needs to space out releases a ton, and release a big bunch of heroes at once. I mean, look at DotA. There are even more heroes in DotA, and there are quite a few boring/lame ones. But the thing is, you go a year without seeing any new heroes, then by the time Icefrog releases new content and splurge-releases like 4 heroes, any crazy contrived ideas look awesome as hell, regardless of how fun they actually are to play.

That auto-attack passive, real wtf. They should redesign that... The best part is how the mana restored scales off of his DPS. If I were to suggest 2 potential changes, they would be: 1) Fix the amount of mana restored to either be a flat amount, level-scaling, or proc off spell damage as well. 2) Instead of instantly restoring some amount of mana on autoattacks, restore a larger amount over time--refreshing the buff when you attack something again. Makes it so that overall you don't get more regen, but that you don't have to be right-clicking creeps to get your mana back--just getting a hit in every now and then. | ||

They can honestly sustain their business model by converting some of their champion designers to skin designers. Release more skins every two weeks and you'd still have plenty of people spending money on this game. | ||

Well, Brackhar's original design for him was a straight battlecaster - someone who actually spent time in melee combat in lane and teamfights and got a lot of use out of Q's cooldown reduction. Given that Taric's not strong enough to be a solo or jungle now, though, them keeping the passive like that is weird as hell indeed. A better (but similar) passive would just be to make his passive Heimerdinger's aura but for mana. | ||

The best part is how the mana restored scales off of his DPS. Imo they need to do re-release of champions by totally revamping them. For example, fix Eve, and raise her IP/RP prices back up. or actually make jax good again, and raise his ip/rp prices up. Or something like that. There are simply too many champions that are so subpar in LoL, that they need to make them shine again. | ||

I think that more importantly, they should introduce some 1950 RP champions. More monneys because the people who buy 975 RP ones won't wait until they play 80 games anyway =) | ||
