EPTSo now they bring the turret armor back to only 8 mins and wei says that is also inelegant and a bad change.
Good to see TLGD alive and well.

Kung fu is elegant, but MMA is just huge dudes tackling each other and wrestling most of the time. As a fan of MMA, worst explanation ever. Wrestling has lot of elegance when done properly. | ||

you could consider the tower changes elegant because they fix problems without affecting gameplay directly simply altering the defensive advantage. | ||

So now they bring the turret armor back to only 8 mins and wei says that is also inelegant and a bad change. Good to see TLGD alive and well. First it was having turret armor increased for early game only, was inelegant. Adds odd conditional change based on time that isn't intuitive. Everything else in the game gets stronger as the game goes on (minions/baron/dragon/champions/jungle camps), but for turrets to do the opposite is not intuitive to the rest of the game design. 2nd change was to remove bonus armor, to add -20 auto attack dmg to top and middle turret only. Reduction of flat damage is not intuitive, since it's another layer of calculation. Also added map asymmetry, specifically designed to lower specific strategy. 3rd, now adding another layer of complexity by making the damage reduction time based.

Effectiveness != elegant reminds me of kids writing code using full of if/and statements. sure it worked. but sure as fuck wasn't pretty to read. | ||

Think of it like a birthday present. Yeah, you just conveniently missed the post where I said the change to thresh's Auto attack isn't really a bad thing, since it makes it into flay range. Also, there's multiple reasons to dislike the changes Riot's been doing to towers. 1)dislike of their intent to dissuade 2v1's (whether or not it actually works, is a different topic). 2)how they go about doing so (inelegant design) 3) the actual effectiveness of their change (just made it so jinx is the only champion in which 2v1 fast tower push actually works well in, so the strategy still exists, except they now just restricted it to one champion, and makes it to a 3v1, and now tower pushes in 3v1 push past the 2nd tier turrets) On February 11 2014 03:45 Fusilero wrote: The only change that can make wei happy is banning Europe from having ADCs I'd be okay with this. (minus rekkles, he's actually purty good). | ||

On February 11 2014 03:14 wei2coolman wrote: Changing turrets again? more convoluted changes? Riot seriously needs a lesson in elegant game design. By season 6, there's going to end up being 10 conditional rules in regards to how tanky towers end up being. That thresh change is going to be awesome tbh, going to match range on his flay now. it was edited in as I was reading through the notes. | ||

And I'd like to see you find a post of mine that has language like "Riot seriously needs a lesson in ______" Unlike you, I don't pretend to be better at game design than professional game designers. It has nothing to do with pretending. lol. I don't need to be a car designer to know the PT Cruiser is a shitty car. Even though it was designed by professionals. I don't know how you can look at these tower changes and go "man, these changes are so intuitive to our entire player base." clearly not the case. The changes might have a decent effect in lower the # of teleport toplaners, since top towers are easier to grab post 8 minutes (around when 1st dragon is usually taken), it might not be worth forcing the 5v4 in dragon pit if it means losing the top turret. | ||
