Think there's a lot of merit in that. Champions are bland because they have similar or boring kits. Diverse itemization only works if champions work differently, and that means reworks. | ||

I'm in particular looking forward to see how Graves and Koggles turn out, their proposed changes completely break how everything works up until now. I love it.

Yes it's insane, but we have so many fucking characters in the game that having some more insanity can only be a good thing. They are right when they say that Graves currently just feels like a strict up- or downgrade to other AD's (making the choice to play him almost purely a numbers-based one). Whether it'll be good or not is completely secondary. Numbers they can fiddle with, but he actually became interesting with this. I thought I was the only one pumped about it. The quad damage bonus if he crits with IE looks hilarious, it's like a... "I DARE you to dive my team". I will die so many times on the proposed Graves because of upcoming pandemic of Graves "flash and pray for a crit to instagib an enemy carry" disease. - better known as GFAPFACTIAECD. | ||

I'm more intrigued by the ability of Anivia to double-E someone after a Q. That seems crazy good. | ||

The question is whether the desired level of champion uniqueness is compatible with both the ever-increasing roster size and their other design goals for the game. Riot has a lot of design goals that are individually reasonable but on a larger scale act against each other. It becomes more and more difficult for champions to remain unique when you continue to add new ones to the game while also constraining your design space by restricting champions from extremely unconventional power curves or by deeming certain play patterns as unhealthy for the game. | ||

I'm optimistic because recent champions/reworks have moved a long way toward embracing concepts and ideas that previously would never have come out of Riot. They have not been universally successful, but I'm happy with the direction things are going. It's also notable that we've seen only 4 champions this year. At that pace I'm not super worried about new champions muddying the waters, though it's still a risk. | ||

Yup, particularly the power curve issue. The lack of diversity problem (in pro play, the only place that really is comparable) has always happened because either you had the Renekton problems where the early game was so important and snowbally that nothing else could reasonably be played, or the more modern problem that only the best is played because there is really no such thing as lategame champions anymore. The only solution riot found was resorting to a massive patch pre worlds to throw everything into chaos, this inflating champion picks (due to teams still figuring out the meta). | ||

Rank 1: Critical strikes heal for 15% of the damage dealt and grant you 20% attack speed for 4 seconds (2 second cooldown). Twitch Rat-ta-tat-tat (R) [Need to confirm] For the duration, his basic attacks become piercing bolts that automatically crit the first target hit and deal 30% ( from 20%) less damage to subsequent targets, down to a minimum of 35% (from 40%) damage." seems op as shit lol but then again, alot of this stuff seems op as shit, so if eveything is op, nothing is op? | ||
