They're working on more than one game and I think it's safe to say at least one of them is mobile. | ||

Riot really missed that boat and in general were very lax with spending on expansion of their extremely popular IP because they didn't want to "dilute" it. | ||

Its really an indictment of Riot that they don't have a game like Hearthstone already available on mobile using their IP. They'd be making enough on that mobile game that they could buy Phreak a new vest of gold ringmail every week. This is basically why I play exclusively Indy and Nintendo first party it’s the only shit left being made for me | ||

200million users is insane. That market isn't available for a traditional PC game of any type. | ||

Companies are trying to see how far they can push micro transactions into PC gaming and lure PC gamers into their mobile games at the same time. 200million users is insane. That market isn't available for a traditional PC game of any type. PC people are sleeping on the player bases of mobile gaming. It's only going to get bigger as more and more people get access to phones and phones being the primary internet connected device of the developing world. Those emerging middle classes are completely untapped markets, and almost all of them will probably never touch a true PC in their life. | ||

Good times. Haha. Teemo was actually the original reason I started playing Karthus top, cant remember who but years ago some toplane streamer (Wings?) mentioned that if you have issues vs Teemo just pick a mage.

I hope they don’t go full weedwick 420 on him, if they keystone ever gets close to being balanced karthus is average at best. It's honestly entirely Dark Harvest's fault he is so disgusting right now, it was basically a flat base damage increase and higher AP ratio on his first few ults and then later on it's just... Well Dark Harvest on a farmed AoE mage. | ||

 Also competing to get more dark harvest stacks than your teammates is more fun than the actual game. | ||

Karthus hasn't been meta for so long that people legit forgot what he does. There's a big section of the playerbase that has never played against Karthus consistently enough. Played some diamond games and a guy said in all chat: "I forgot about Karthus passive lol" | ||

From the general awesomeness thread: On November 30 2018 01:38 Jek wrote: The no tank enemy team did Baron after a teamfight, I was 5 item Karthus with Dark Harvest. Dont really know if more needs to be said. It's sort of like how stompy games with an actual good TF or ASol can be. Underplayed (or formerly) champions with global pressure are deceptively strong in chaotic games like most games are, then add Karthus' disgusting scaling, teamfighting power and you got a ticking time bomb where just the slightest buff will push him over the edge in the uncoordinated mess that is soloQ. | ||
