Currently there is one leading MOBA in the current scene, that’s League of Legends with it’s massive fanbase and the amount of viewers that it attracts, with DotA2 expanding do you ever see it joining IPL? Mr Ting: No, I think this is where I actually got a lot of criticism, I was one of the fairly outspoken ones, where I want to do one title in the MOBA scene, it was a hard decision, between Heroes of Newerth, League of Legends as well as Dota2. At that time it was not as clear as a decision as it is today because Dota2 just ran the $1million tournament and it had a lot of buzz. HoN is the de facto eSports choice, I went with League of Legends and I have a great partnership with Riot and I expect to continue that for many years to come. So, I’m going to stick to one title and I really enjoy working with the Riot folks and I think they got the right business model as well for eSports. Their title is free to play with monotonization built into the game itself, and I believe strongly that I want to put my time on titles that evolve with time versus one that published. That’s a personal preference of mine, I’m not saying I’m only going to except those type of titles, but that’s a stronger business model when we are looking at the big picture. So, you were saying you prefer to stick with titles that change over time, with Starcrafts expansion(Heart of the Swarm) coming out do you viewers increasing and do you see it as a game that hasn’t fully been published yet? Mr Ting: I think we are you going to switch over to Heart of the Swarm when it goes to GA, I believe in upgrading and the key here is that we will announce that several months before the change. I view Starcraft2, Heart of the Swarm versus Wings of liberty as the same title, but if you look at League of Legends, it is happening faster every 2 to 4 weeks there is basically game balance changes and new champions introduced. That’s what I mean by having an evergreen title, that’s really ideal for eSports, I believe that’s the case and that’s what we have with League of Legends. Those are some interesting answers from David Ting. Even as a LoL fan, I'm not sure I can agree with some of his answers...HotS is the same game as WoL while a patch every 2-4 weeks makes LoL something different.  | ||

You'll have to come smack me too. I've been saying that AD Malz is one item release short of OP since months ago, just not as zealously as T_D does with his fancies. Play AD Malz in a bot game and watch what happens when you E someone once you have a Brutalizer or B.F. Sword. The amount of damage they take is utterly stupid.

Yep it's a centaur: + Show Spoiler + We here at Riot Games make every effort to ensure that our stable of champions is as diverse as possible. Still, even after the addition of Sejuani to the League of Legends, there are those cavalry enthusiasts out there who would contend that the greatest warriors ride horses. For you purists, we’d like to propose an alternative point of view. It is our opinion that the most epic warriors are themselves at least 50% equine. And as evidence of this theory it is our pleasure to present Hecarim, the Shadow of War. So if you enjoy leveling your lance and charging headlong into the brunt of the enemy ranks leaving only the trampled corpses of lesser foes in your wake, we’re pretty sure that Hecarim, the Shadow of War will have you chomping at the bit come next patch! | ||

 Regarding Malz bot, my Voidling was doing a good 1/3rd of the other AD's health (before every other lane got destroyed). They also have 450 Movespeed, which makes them rather difficult to kite. Pretty funny, although I am by no means a bottom expert. EDIT: I view Starcraft2, Heart of the Swarm versus Wings of liberty as the same title, but if you look at League of Legends, it is happening faster every 2 to 4 weeks there is basically game balance changes and new champions introduced. That's not neccesarily a good thing in the long run (Short run, it's probably neccesary). You do need a certain amount of stability for strong optimization and competitive play, more than what LoL is currently going through. | ||

I am only 1250 so I won't be carrying you out of anything, but I don't mind playing with anyone as long as they are manner. I find it more fun to play with someone I know than not. Feel free to add me. | ||

For the record, I had a game with him where I was fed 21-4 and had 1200 AP. 1 shotting squishies with a meteor is fun stuff. I think his biggest problem is probably his cooldowns are relatively high, and after he comboes the other AP carry he is a little worthless, but that can be alleviated pretty easily. What people seem to not remember is that his ult still has a 1.2 ratio + 1000 dmg, so its good even if they dont have any AP. Just dont ult the tank. | ||

Veigar was considered bad because his laning was terrible. In lane his mana costs were too high for him to trade efficiently. It also didn't help that most of his combo was single target and in terms of single-target AP carry Ryze/Cassio tend to do that just as well or better. This patch: v1.0.0.131: Primordial Burst mana cost reduced to 125/175/225 from 150/200/250 Dark Matter mana cost reduced to 70/80/90/100/110 from 100/110/120/130/140 Baleful Strike Mana cost adjusted to 60/65/70/75/80 from 75 at all levels Total ability power accumulated from Baleful Strike is now displayed in the tooltip Event Horizon mana cost reduced to 80/90/100/110/120 from 80/95/110/125/140 Did a lot for him. His laning was no longer sub-par. Veigar's stun and damage output has always been ridiculously strong; it was just a matter of surviving long enough to use it without being a liability. | ||
