Also, random thought. It'd be hilarious if Yasuo's Wind Wall could block Lee Sin's Flying Kick on 2nd Q proc. Is it just me or it would be cool if Summoner's Rift have a city theme? Purple side will be Valve's Headquarter, blue is Riot's. | ||

Always felt LoL could use a SC2 "ripple effect" system. http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1xxe1l/riot_has_stated_they_want_counterplay_for_skilled/ It works in SC2 because your attention is divided to a dozen places It would be mostly useless in LoL because your 'almost' never going to be surprised. It makes it that you either see it coming and avoid the gank or whatever Or you see it coming and you know your dead because you cant avoid it anymore. Adds nothing much over an actual champion being there instead. | ||

That is, if you make detection "skill-based", then it becomes hard to balance the mechanic at different levels of play because the effectiveness of invisibility varies hugely based on the skill level of the game, more so than other existing mechanics in the game. | ||

Oh I never knew it had been brought up by Riot before, oops. | ||

The invisibility blur doesn't fall into this because it's entirely on the target whether they recognize the blur or not. It's effectiveness ONLY depends on the skill level of the target meaning the skill is progressively more powerful at low levels and progressively less powerful at high levels. | ||

I think there are two kinds of Stealth: Eve + Hard stealth. Eve is really quite difficult to balance because just from a monetary standpoint, fighting against an Eve is a gigantic burden. Almost everywhere you put a Green ward normally, you actually need a Pink (aka 50g more spent, plus now you only get 5 per team, so that exacerbates the opportunity cost of protecting a flank). On top of that, you actually need pink wards in places that you never needed wards before. That is why she is hard to balance, because when you account for the cost investment in countering Eve, its nearly the equivalent to what she would be earning during a game, and "should" be balanced by her basically being a wet noodle (which she was for a long time). The only way to really beat an Eve is to be a very accurate guesser, so that is unhealthy. Hard stealth is slightly less hard to balance, because usually it costs 125g (or now a sweeper) to counter and secure the kill. But its still a problem to balance because the balance team needs to approximate the number of times a team will need to use a pink to secure a kill, and deduct that champion's power accordingly. The amount of times will obviously vary from game to game so its a hard thing to do, but overall not Eve hard. Its more in line with balancing out something like Arcane Shift. | ||

he's not as good as faker but really knows how to put up stats and carry in soloq. if you watch his games he plays a lot safer than faker but does a lot of good calculated ganks. solo q wise faker doesn't play as much as apdo does and trolls a lot more(watch his first pick blitzcrank support games to get an idea lol), so you can't compare their stats directly. there are a ton of games between them up on youtube. thing about apdo that attracts people is the unknown factor, the potential. but i don't think he's as good as ryu or ambition at mid at least right now, and potential wise short of pawn. | ||
