EPT[Patch 4.9] RIP Kha'Zix General Discussion - Page 18
| Forum Index > LoL General |
Alright, we're going to call it a day with all the Thorin drama, guys. I figured if it was about SI, onGamers, TSM, etc, it had some relevance to League but somehow you guys managed to devolve the discussion into an issue about race of all things. Enough is enough. Let's move along now. -NeoIllusions | ||

I mean a trade off for having a free item there instead of just a trinket? I know that when you win the quest and take Kha Zix head it automatically upgrades itself, but is this the only path to do it? You get upgraded trinket if you hit 20 stacks even without Kha'zix. That's 20 kills+assists though :/ | ||

Like holy shit trundle is going to be even EASIER to play top with the dblade changes. It's not a huge deal lol. 5 flat health you get back now would mean for 3% lifesteal(going off waht they used to be i havent actually looked) to be doing the same you'd need to do 166~ damage an auto attack to get the same heal or 200 to heal for more, which most top lane champions wont do. some jungles with ad steroids might break even, and adcs will pass them eventually but its not game breaking or anything imo. | ||

Its actually 3 so not very hard to start healing more.Also healing extra from crits. | ||

Pros have a vested interest in changes that don't actually change much, because it simplifies things for them.

Champions like Rengar, and Trundle would get there pretty quickly, especially with their Q's. | ||

Bloodthirster becomes a problem when its too commonplace as it creates a situation where it basically comes down to who acquires it first. I really don't understand this line of reasoning. BT always worked like this when you got ahead because it allowed you to get more ahead. If you fucked up and died or didn't cs as well as me you deserve to fall behind when I finish my big ticket item first. There was literally nothing wrong with the BT passive just seems like Riot wants to make the game more forgiving. | ||

It's rather easy to make someone believe your reasoning is correct if they aren't used to discussing ideas and don't have a very clear grasp of their own vision. Have to remember most pros only have basic level education which own its own doesn't exclude them from critical thinking but can potentially put them at a disadvantage when dealing with people that have lots of experience past that point. Man I'm really trying to beat around the bush here. Let me just say it straight. I believe most pros aren't that smart when it comes to the scope of thinking and foresight needed to balance a game in a non-obtrusive manner. They are also impressionable youths barely into the real world. On June 05 2014 21:43 overt wrote: I really don't understand this line of reasoning.

There was literally nothing wrong with the BT passive just seems like Riot wants to make the game more forgiving. I get the impression Riot actually dislikes the model of a "Moba" or RPG model if that's better way to describe it. They have been actively removing the concept of a gold advantage translating into more strength which leads into higher chance of getting a bigger advantage. It's the fundamental concept RPGs and Mobas function on. This is even worse because they first designed LoL to have multiple scaling properties that require this very concept to function properly. They can't retroactively change the concept of AP/AD scaling on abilities to better realize their no advantage or "snowballing" policy so they have to go about it in another way. So far this has meant decreases reward for CSing or Killing champions while increasing passive gold gain. Now it seems they trying more avenues | ||

If they are making BT more slot efficient and less cost efficient im for it, but i doubt that. the effect they dislike is a result of it being the most cost efficient laning item for ADCs in the game so there isn't something you can buy to "catch up" if the other side gets their big item first. if you could go: damn they got BT and im still on vamp scepter + 1400 or whatever let me just buy the dead end cost efficient ad item to keep up in lane. | ||

Yea the few people that do have the knowledge, confidence and experience to discuss these things may be held back by the monopoly nature of League of Legends. I think this is partially why Unions were created. It's almost impossible for an individual to speak out against his/her company of employment but via a Union they are more able to do this(At least here not sure about other countries). | ||
