He probably meant "...but I still don't want solo laners to buy it all the time."

I know this might seem a bit extreme but can't they just make the item available only to champs who have smite?I always wondered why they wouldn't do something like this if they want only someone particular to get an item.

I remember somebody having a very good idea 1 year ago.

Create an item which costs 475g named «key to the jungle», and make it so that you need it to be able to hit jungle monsters. There, problem solved. Good game design.

Did I miss the talk on the new Madred's? That shit looks cool o.O

To be worth for junglers over laners, it'll probably not be cost effective until like ~10+ jungle camps taken, I'd assume.

To be completely honest, I'm always apprehensive whenever I see a Morello post because even after three, relatively successful seasons, I'm still apprehensive about the fact that the head of live balance is only a Silver level player. On top of that, Riot has had moments in its balancing history where they've definitely fucked up big time and only created new issues.


On one level it kinda makes sense to have your head of live balance in the skill level of the majority of players. Not to mention the best Coach/manager is not the best player or the best engineer/salesperson whatever.

But truly I believe that being a silver player doesn't make him better at balancing necessarily I'm just saying it doesn't necessarily make him worse either.


I disagree. It may be good to have a few silver players on staff, but not your head of live balance. Its similar to asking the community for advice. One of the major characteristics of a poor player is a lack of understanding of the game. This poor understanding makes them very unqualified to propose solutions to problems. A bad player will often propose changes that would make the problem infinitely worse or completely destroy the game, but it sounds good to them. The best coach may not have been a world champion but silver league is like JV high school level play. Also pretty much all the great managers and coaches were very good at their field.

I'm very wary of any high up in a company who has been there from the very beginning. It could be ok if he kept an incredibly humble attitude but that certainly doesn't seem to be the case. I've been very unimpressed at some of the things I've heard come out of Morello's mouth, but generally the balance team has done a solid job.


This is a completely untrue statement. Esspecially in relation to sports. And commisioners of sports leagues. Very few top end players make great coaches most fail out. The coaches that work out tend to be the ones that barely made it, or didn't quite make it. And it for sure is not a requirement to be great at it. Now if there are other reasons why him in particular is not qualified such as being arrogant or whatever, fine, but his play level isn't much if any factor. He could be in silver cause he has horrible mechanics. His league level is not a great indicator, Also, as I mentioned they arn't balanceing the game for pro level play. They are more likely balancing it for where most of there players are at.




Not to take a huge shit on Morello, but i for one, have TERRIBLE mechanics and i play in Diamond. I definitely agree with your point "good players doesn't make good coaches", but more often i see Morello contradict himself and/or the changes they made to the game, only to slighty reverse the changes later in time.

the "mechanics" vs" understanding" dichotomy in league is the most exaggerated thing ever and is a legacy frmo bw when it actually meant something, it doesnt actually exist in league in the way people make it out to ~_~

vastly overstated in bw as well, mostly as an excuse for people to think that they knew what they were doing but somehow their hands were too slow

Well you can definitely make 2 categories for players; The mechanically and the strategist. Doesn't mean that one of the categories is better than the other, but it can provide depth to understanding the difference in LoL-players.

all of this is on the assumption that morello's game understanding is good. people mostly judge him on what he's been saying through the years. that he's silver or whatever just is a cherry on top

I think there is just a huge disconnect in communication somewhere.

Like, when Riot publicly makes a statement that "we're not ever again releasing a champion with manaless sustain because it's clearly an issue", and then they reveal Rengar - that's a problem.

Rengar's sustain was a problem.

I've never understood this argument that being in a high league in the game is a requirement of being somebody who understands the game / has a lot of game knowledge.

It is probably true that being really good at the game makes it easier to understand the game, but the idea that it is impossible to understand the game without being really good at the game is obviously and demonstrably false, and yet people still try to argue it.

What league is Yango I wonder? You guys all give Yango a ton of respect for game knowledge (not that he doesn't deserve it) but I wonder if he's Diamond league.

Well, they neutered him pretty hard, but I do think he's in a fine place right now.

But that's not the argument I'm trying to present. I was referring to the fact that Riot directly contradicted themselves in a very short time frame.

I love that Riot communicates with the community as much as they do. I'm generally happy with most of what Riot does and tries to accomplish. But that doesn't change the fact that there has been more than one instance where it's been blatantly apparent that there are likely some communication issues within the organization.

He's not. I think that was mentioned earlier. "something something Gold league scrub"
