It does seem like the Gangnam Style~~~~
EDIT: time to learn to play TF more seriously now.
|
Meeeh, TF is absolutely fine, why would they do this ? It's kinda like GP's upgrade.
|
They are giving Gangnam Style to TF? I thought for sure they would put it on a new champ to get more people to buy it. Either way, I always enjoy a good visual update.

It's not like I'm trying to win the argument here I'm just putting forth my view and am curious why someone else would think differently, you seem to keep your stance but don't explain why. I've tried to explain my stance and you've still given me nothing but random passive aggressive comments. If I wanted to argue for the sake of arguing I'd be in general forum right now huehue. You were impying Xpecial/Chaox making a mistake was a merit of Aphromoo being a good player - and it isn't. Aphro had NO way of getting out of that by his own actions, no matter how you want to look at him walking half a step towards his tower.
Xpecial didn't lock him properly, Chaox's W was a tiny bit off to the left (he would've definetly still hit if he fired EXACTLY where Aphro got zenith bladed at, didn't move far enough) Tiny things like that happen, but because that damage didn't go through, Aphro survived by a sliver of hp. Also the AS slow.
I'm saying that has nothing to do with him. A braindead donkey could've rightclicked at that point and probably killed them, or at least chaox, with all their cooldowns blown.
The clip in no way showed Aphro being a good player. He was lucky and got to clean up on a messed up all-in. An all-in he could've avoided by not being in range of Leona on a champ with no escapes.
That's all. I get that you are of a different opinion and that's okay. You can believe in what you want.

It wouldn't be a far leap to see the hex sweeper active tacked on to some other decent-but-infrequently-gotten item, but its such an unwieldy thing that I don't know if it would even help (fat lot of good it does to see something stealthed after they're already on top of you with permaslows).
Similarly, I'd like to see DFG removed outright (it's funny that you guys are having this discussion about how OP double CDs would be when the output of DFG can be as high as a 50% increase in burst, nearly rivaling double CDs).
There's a number of openings for new items like AD caster items, but I'm concerned that would push those champs into OP-land.
Definitely the single best area to touch is the non-boot tenacity items (let them build into things). My problem with removing DFG is that you remove an active item that actually does something in the game. When you get cap it's just like "durrr i'm stronger" whereas DFG actually puts an option in the game. Maybe have it decrease in potency the more you use it, but I know that's anti-fun™ and Riot would never do that... Which is ironic given the state of stealth right now.
But yeah, items need work everywhere imo.
(I seem to be making a lot of DotA comparisons today...)

DIS APHRO
Invade with Blitz, team ends up 5-2.
|
I never really looked at TF and thought "this is the guy who definitely needs visual upgrades over anyone else in the game right now. Kind of odd imo. Also, I have no idea why TF is being given a dance which will have passed pretty soon.
|
The level 1 teamfight on Aphromoo's stream went on until like 3 minutes in. Everyone just kept running back to the same spot and fighting more. So entertaining with Aphro's commentary.
|
Well tbh tf's current dance is kind of bleh, I don't really mind the change to gangnam style.
Also, he was the fourth champion that Riot designed. He literally has feet as bad as master yi, one of the clunkiest auto-attack animations out there and actually looks terrible if you zoom in on him. Hopefully the sound/spell effects aren't too different and the voiceover is also good. A complete overhaul of the model/particles was long overdue but I don't know how I feel about the voice being changed.

Any braindead donkey could do any of those plays in any of those clips. LoL isn't mechnically a hard game to play. You were the one that mentioned that clip. That was one clip out of the whole video and as I said he was stunlocked for most of it it was mostly shown because of how awesome it was that he survived with 50 hp and killed. Yeah no shit xpecial and chaox made mistakes, but you can find mistakes in any clip of any highlight video, nobody plays perfectly. Aphro didn't either, getting hit by that first leona E. It was still a nice dodge (I can't see many players even expecting to have enough time to try when getting leona combo'd, he probably spam clicked to the right in anticipation of the slight gap and the ezrael combo). The "clean-up" in itself was pretty fast reactions, you have to E+W+ignite+auto+Q and get the kill within a 1.5 second sona stun. If you want to post your own clips of you pulling off shit like that to prove anyone can do then be my guest.

I still believe removing DFG's CDR bonus will solve the problem. Everything else about DFG is fine, but the CDR is just way too good for an item that also provides a great active. I think a player should be able to choose between a bursty active or CDR, NOT BOTH. I don't think you should be allowed to have it both ways. Also the CDR bonus for DFG is really out of place now, since the base items to build DFG no longer provides CDR.

Dunno if my mind is already projecting ugly interpretations on the old (current) TF, but I always thought of him as having a very blocky model. Not that others don't either or aren't worse, but the new art from the pics definitely seems like he is more slender . Also, who knows if they ever have tech reasons for some of these decisions - maybe his rigging/animations/effects have always been problematic or rely on something outdated that they just want to get rid of.
