It's like DotA back when everyone stacked Meks because they didn't apply the debuff that prevented you from getting healed again by another Mek. | ||

Does the debuff just not apply for you, Slayer, or is the debuff just non-functional? | ||

Flask is pretty damn good, but the thing is it's impact isn't as suffocating on the play experience. If everyone recognizes Flask is OP, and we see 10 of them are in every game, I still don't think it's ruining anyone's play or making the game significantly less fun for people. It's still poor from a design perspective to have a gameplay element be so ubiquitous, but its not as much of an immediate problem.

I understand the ostensible reasoning for it (Banshee's buff coming up in the middle of the fight and blocking a crucial spell feels too luck-based), but I also think that's an avenue with a lot of potential for high-skill play that didn't get explored a lot. In theory, at top level play, players should be counting off the Banshee's CD in their heads--meaning that you should be engaging fights with like 5-10 seconds BEFORE your Banshee's CD comes up, so that when the fight is engaged, the Banshee's shield isn't there to be popped by low-value incidental AoE, but comes up in time to block a high-value spell from someone diving you. A lot of potential for players to mindgame/use their game sense with regard to determining how long they need on their Banshee CD to safely engage. | ||

Go flask farie in lane and 700g later you'll never have another mana problem again. viktors q's are basicaly free at that point and you can use the death ray sometimes as well. chalice by itself pretty much makes anythin free | ||

I made a couple arguments about why Flask is bad on Nunu in the champ thread, I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on them. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17141891 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=17143325 | ||

I don't see basically reducing the cost of potions as a great call. | ||

It's probably not an optimal first item, for the reasons you stated, but it honestly makes good on your investment in it that you could reasonably buy it 3rd/4th, sell it less than 10 minutes later for a real item, and have still gotten your money's worth out of it because of how fast it becomes worth it. On December 09 2012 05:54 UniversalSnip wrote: I don't see basically reducing the cost of potions as a great call. I don't either. But again, it's not directly ruining the game for most people. It's still shitty design, but that means that it's lower priority than the stuff that IS directly ruining the game. | ||
