Sure. But not every unintended thing is good. I don't think Jayce is some clever amazing thing that makes the game cooler. I think he's stupid and broken. I think he's exactly like AP Nidalee only better in every way, and it's dumb. I've played against him since the nerfs and I still think that, and I'm all for trying to restructure him a bit. Too fast? Maybe. Bad idea? Probably not. | ||

With regards to Buff transfer, I, as Rengar jungle, rarely take my own first blue. I always give it to mids and I feel it helps them more but it often leads to dead minions under mid tower that no one got experience for. Buff transfers might work for 1v2 top but if you do it 1v2 mid, then you'll lose cs and gain a net loss in team exp. | ||

There's no way your smite can be up a 2nd time before they've taken their first red... So I don't really understand how you're doing this. Can you explain it a bit further? | ||

Not something we've been keeping super good track of like we should, though. It hasn't seemed to cause problems. | ||

I smited my red and then his red. He smited his blue and his red early. The trick is just to counterjungle the enemy jungler at their second buff. I smited stupidly early on. It's a low risk high reward trick if you start with a ward. | ||

If something is retardedly OP you just hotfix in a tweak, its not difficult. E.G Jayce OP, 3 weeks in u nerf him into the ground as a stand-alone small patch, leave the rest of the debatables untill the next patch cycle. Would be much healthier imo, as opposed to HAVE A PATCH, USED TO IT? HAVE ANOTHER ONE HAHAHAHA! Dont want to mention the D word, but dota works just fine with a lack of patching, the scene and meta develops on its own without the need of artificial pokes and prods in a direction. LoL would do this just fine too if Riot stopped patch-nerfing everything after a month and let people actually figure shit out half the time. (Some things ARE just OP and need to be fixed, others are just not.) It would also prevent complete fuck-ups and allow them to test changes on PTR for longer, ALA Olaf. | ||

As part of our coverage of this year's Game Developers Conference, I offered a summary of Jeffrey Lin's (Lead Designer of Social Systems for Riot Games) talk on research-informed design and his teams's work managing toxic player behavior in League of Legends. Recently, Jeff graciously took part in an extended Q&A session with me, in which he further discussed his history as an academic and gamer, the infrastructure of Riot's research teams, the influence on previous literature on their research, and the results and implications of some of their work. Very cool stuff. Below, the interview in full. | ||

I'd much rather patches get spread out where they edit a few things here and there than have just a couple patches a year where they change everything. I've looked at Dota patch notes, each patch like half of the heroes in the game get changed. I much prefer the way LoL does it. | ||

That's generally better seeing as it still allows a better resolution of the effects of particular changes. The number of changes is similar, but making a lot of changes, watching the entire thing settle down, and then adjusting gives you a better handle on how the game plays than keeping the game in a perpetual state of turmoil where the game is still being changed before people are accustomed to it. | ||

But at a casual level it's much worse. For the lower level people, once you decide something is OP, you best nerf it before you start losing players. | ||

The only time where that's true is during someone's very early formative impressions of the game, and I'm pretty sure 90% of these patch changes are not relevant to or geared toward players playing their first 5 games. By the time players play at a level where these changes are even relevant to them, they are invested enough in the game that they are not likely to be that fickle. | ||

Could be all WELL MORE PEOPLE PLAY LOL THAN PLAY DOTA which is obvs true, but that could be attributable to any number of things. Really at the end of the day Riot does its patch cycling the way they do it. It's not a constructive discussion to be having, because we've all heard it before and it's not going to change anything. | ||
