I think I often spend less on items than my opponents even when I win my lane because of the 15+ wards I buy in a medium-length game. I should learn greediness. >.> | ||

Supports need to learn how to be brave but also not braindead because they know they won't lose their oracles. SUPPORTS ALWAYS BUY ORACLES - infinitestory 2013 | ||

Obviously Riot can't predict the significance of every change 100%, but I've yet to see them make big changes without good reason. They've yet to even come close to breaking their own game, unlike other game companies I could mention. I dunno about you but I thought S3 was pretty great. I'm not worried about S4. Just excited. | ||

The time limit thing is really not a big deal. Grabbing 400 gold every 5 minutes is NOT hard, especially in a game where KS champions like Sona reign supreme (not to mention getting assists with her is hilariously easy). | ||

Now that I think about it, the fact that the laning phase is so short right now when picking push champs and swapping lanes would probably reduce the effectiveness of this strategy if the oracle changes were reverted. Makes me curious. On October 24 2013 21:54 Osmoses wrote: I'm a bit surprised to see people not trusting Riot. They made our favorite game, a game which most of us have probably been playing for years now, they give constant insight and feedback to their community and I'm always embarrassed when I see bronze-bros berate Riot like they somehow knew game design better than the people who actually built the damn thing. They give selective insight. I know I'm repeating myself, but they never addressed any of the posts I came across that mentioned support itemisation or ways to direct willingly direct farm (over gp5, ambient gold, etc.) and since they seemingly never even bothered to touch these goals with a 10-foot pole it's concerning wrt the way they link issues, causes and solutions. On the other hand had they never given insight into what they intend then I wouldn't be in a position to be concerned by them deliberately avoiding/ignoring these topics. So I'm only annoyed because they gave insight to begin with, in a sense. :| (And I enjoyed jungling in s3 but it doesn't count because Vi came out at that time, without her I'd likely have preferred s2 jungle because of my champion pool, so I can't really give an opinion. >>) | ||

Was changed because once your jungler gets an advantage over the enemy's he can just buy oracle, regularly sweep everything, and not die because he'll win 1v1 and your lanes can't collapse because of 0 vision. Made the game very oppressive past the first few minutes.

The time limit was slapped on it, but it was not 250 gold since at least 2010 when I started playing. The "jungler gets advantage, buys oracle with just boots or just heart of gold" meta was with that 400 gold no-time-limit oracles, right up until they added a time limit to it. | ||

Finally someone who gets it! Like i don't mind if RIOT gave Supports some low-tier items to purchase, but the whole ward-controlling thing is what makes support unique and different from other roles... | ||

Much cheaper than spending 400g every 4 minutes. so basically go back to, you know, what it was before, before riot decided to make their brilliant changes ~_~ | ||

Did he miss the part where it was so good that they beat the item to a bloody pulp and left it for dead? Yeah, laners were situationally buying it. But junglers were buying it quite a bit, and it was pretty important if you wanted to be a jungler that did damage rather than just built tank. | ||
