I mean, if you want to think the above is impossible, you're entitled to your opinion I suppose. I'm going to stand by the statement that you are obviously and demonstrably wrong, but whatever. What's strange to me is the people who go around calling Morello a silver league scrub but then praise the ideas of low league TLers. The hypocrisy is blatant and I wish there was a more mature level of conversation going on in the thread. Well Morello is seriously incompetent, and being silver doesn´t really help his reputation. Like if he was good at being the freaking lead game designer, then yeah i don´t see a problem with him being silver, but you can easily draw lines between what he approves and his rating. Abit unrelated to Morello, but you also gotta remember that most of the commentators are at a pretty decent level which also supports how they analyze the LCS games. It´s not that hard to see, that being at a higher level gives you a better understanding of the game as a whole. | ||

Saying that somebody who is not good at the game cannot understand the game is ignorant and incredibly wrong. Likewise, saying that somebody who is good at the game understands the game is also ignorant and incredibly wrong. | ||

Likewise, saying that somebody who is good at the game understands the game is also ignorant and incredibly wrong. you once again fail to distinguish understanding of the game and understanding of very board strategy if you understand the game you are good at he game period. there is no mechanical restrictions for anyone without severe arthritis. if you are bad at the game you dont understand the game at nearly all levels i imagine most people who are bad and think they are good is becuase they watch pro play and know what is going on no better than the dad shouting at the football on tv | ||

New warmogs, botrk, the new jungle items, jungle changes, champion releases, champion nerfs/buffs, all should be approved by him in the end (correct me if I´m wrong). Like even all the patch cycles to correct the many mistakes of overbuffing/overnerfing champions, everything points back to him. I don´t wanna make him the black sheep, but I´d rather see someone else in his position, someone who could potentially make something more interesting than flat line of 50 champions in a fotm-pool that constantly changes because of all these patches. | ||

He heads the Live Design Team, but from past conversation, he merely greenlights proposed changes by the live design team (given how broad their focuses are on); he doesn't/no longer produces, balances, and tests the changes, from what I can tell. So all the Morello hate is somewhat like shooting the messenger here. | ||

As for the whining on changes vs stating the positive, it's easier to discuss what's bad (plus he lets you vent) than to just say "Hey I like this one" because then there's not necessarily much to discuss. As for my own statements it's true that we don't know the details yet—and I even admitted earlier than it can work out + Show Spoiler [In here] + "On the other hand maybe these are actually items like Seeker's Armguard, so that once they're stacked you don't have incentive to prioritise monsters but the commitment to killing camps is still too high for a laner to make it worthwhile. And they're balanced at low cost/low efficiency, so they're accessible early, and once stacked they're very cost-effective but only as slot-effective as standard laner items." Maybe the way supports can be the richest members of each team will work out because of how they generate the income! But it doesn't change the fact that giving supports gold artificially isn't the way to go at it. (We have people suggesting items super cost-effective that lose stats everytime you last hit a minion more or less regularly in GD, well it's the same thing: laners won't buy these items, supports will have good itemisation without having to farm, problem solved! ... well, nope, that's still a bad idea if only because of how inelegant the design is.) | ||

new warmogs is okay. it was too cost efficient. botrk is kinda silly, but its okay because it doesnt scale like the other ad items. jungle items are okay. champion releases are their business model, can't argue balance has been generally improving from what i see less bat shit op stuff. very hard to not overbuff/overnerf champs considering how many nerfs/buffs they do. | ||
