I don't give a shit about League anymore but them finally making runes free is good. It was a terrible system since the very beginning that only existed so they could get people to buy champs and pages.

>>378560492
LoL is a nightmare to get into for new players right now. The entry curve is so steep they probably dont get too many to stick around. It takes years of hardcore play to get close to unlocking everything, or probably thousands of dollars.

Right, because games like pubg, with increasingly higher player counts as evidenced by steamcharts, must also have a declining playerbase because of google trends

>Key fragments are now tied to the honor system

So rather than remove a shitty system that was almost never used, now you create incentive for everyone to suck each other off in desperate hope of getting key fragments and trading honor for honor and make skill in the game even less relevant to overall access to content?

Holy balls, free runes doesn't even cut it.

>>378564171
Ceiling is good you can be relative to skill. It doesn't matter if one player is massively better at video games than another, if they both hit the skill ceiling for the game in question then they are on equal ground. Skill floor is amount of skill necessary to even play the game at its most basic level.
A high skill floor makes a game hard to get into while a low skill ceiling makes it unrewarding to practice and get good with.

>>378557732
Oh cool. The gameplay is still shit. ASSFAGGOTS was a mistake and killed one of the greatest games of our generation, SC2.

>>378564452
Wasn't Burch fired lightning fast? Someone was telling me he was gone in under a week

>>378564171
skill floor would be how easy it is to get into the game, league has unarguably a lower skill floor compared to something like dota 2, meaning it's easier to get into it at first
skill ceiling is how "skillful" one can get at the game
league is a classic example of low skill floor (casuals can enjoy the game at a lower level) and high skill ceiling (you need to be really fucking good to be at the top level of play)

not him but league is a mechnically very easy game. its not hard to cs. its not hard to right click. its not hard to use the 5 abilities you have on each champ. its not hard to glance at the minimap every 5 seconds. its not hard to understand wave management, and when to go for what objective. however the game is basically hearthstone. you grind like a motherfucker to get to the top. but along the way the shit you have to endure. all the variance the game has to offer. the cancer community on top of the rng. you have to be some special kind of fuckup to actually make it through that without killing yourself.

As long as they refund or compensate, they can feel free. I am hoping this means they want to drastically lower the barrier of entry, so new players can at least just worry about trying new champions instead of worrying about runes and masteries being incomplete too. I understand why they did it at the start but they are big enough now that there is really no excusing the sky high IP costs for everything. This change should alleviate that pressure.

Literally any unique, non-stereotypical part of a champ? Remove it, goes against expectations. Rework everybody who is interesting because we can't maintain balance while releasing more and more fucking champions who are progressively stronger than the last.

Just try to remember that in games like this, you have to sort of change your perspective a bit. If you think of it like say, a fighter, where every match is a 1v1 and you either go up or down if you win or lose, then of course you get frustrated when some idiot goes 0/13 on your team. If you think of it like it is, a team game, then you realize that sometimes that 0/13 is on the other team too. The key is not to think of climbing as individual games being won or lost, but how you personally perform over a hundred games. Teammates shift and change, but you are the constant in all of your games. If you do well, you will eventually climb. If you do not, then try to figure out where you can improve. This has been proven countless times, both by challenger players that keep getting challenger on multiple accounts and by people that boost other players for money over and over. If it were totally luck, neither would be possible, right?

>>378567408
They'll still get good kill participation. I'm talking about people that make no contribution to the team whatsoever, that don't react to pings, that do nothing but charge ass first into their lane and then bitch about other people being bad.

So, correct me if i'm wrong, and I might very well be, but isn't the trick to climbing just winning games consistently, even if it's as low as 51-49%?
I don't mind the rune change all that much, as long as I get something out of it.
Honor is what makes me a little bit nervous. I don't trust the league playerbase one bit, even when there's an actual incentive to.

Every fuckiking VGU they have done has been for the better aside from Fiora. Also Noxus was already sterotypical evil until champs like Darius and Riven came along. Same thing happened with Ionia and Jhin. Ionia went from "dindu nuffin" to shady as fuck.

You need to be a little above 50 irrc but yes, consistently winning even one more game than you lose will climb you up and if you are incapable of doing that you belong where you are.

They're not bad on a general level, but getting too tilted to continue the game at 15 minutes proves they aren't as good as they should be. Challenger players are people, not gods you lowly scrub.

>>378570842
Currently you have to buy runes with IP (in-game currency, not real money), they give stat boosts and you have to set them up before you enter the lobby (you get 2 rune pages to do this when you sign up, and you can buy more pages for retarded amounts of IP). There is also the mastery system, which is similar but doesn't require any purchases, and can be set up in champ select.

They're merging these two into a new system that will be completely free, can be managed in champion select, and thanks to this the runes can be a lot more powerful.

>>378567097

You can buy IP boosts, which help you earn IP faster.
>>378573935
While you do get a slight advantage, by the time you're good enough to go into ranked, you'll already have all the runes you need. The main mistake people do is go ranked too early, which is how you end up in bronze. It has also been proven by a pro player that it's perfectly possible to win games with no runes or masteries.

>>378574009
>>378574118
Not to mention he looks extremely different now and everyone was jizzing all over him until the hype died down.

Really it just pissed off a lot of people who cared about Galio beforehand and had Riot and the rest of the playerbase to tell them to go fuck themselves for not liking "FotM Husbando #34" because not a lot of people played old Galio.

What kind of logic is this, I've got like 3k hours in dota and have touched like 25% of the roster.

moba isn't a themepark dork

>>378575065
You should play every champion at least a few times to better know how to beat them. The arcade machines don't work as an analogy because the arcade machines don't interact with each other.

One of their bullshit arguments was that they have to make animations for every champ to capture the points and that takes time away from testing for summoners rift but they use those exact same animations for capturing Skarners points and shit like that.

After 6 or so years, should Flash even be considered a problem at all? Sloppy, prehistoric design for sure, but at this point removing it really would do more harm than good.

Runes are a different story since I can't imagine a single person (aside from turbo autists) that isn't glad to hear them getting redesigned, and those were just additional stats that can be adjusted into champions baseline if need be

Banshees helps mitigate the burst, and GA lets you get back up after your team has destroyed her. "Build MR against Akali" goes without saying.

No idea, but he is absolutely terrible at it. Dude is just a fountain of bad ideas. Taliyah's release was one of the biggest shitshows in years and that plus the Brexit referendum shortly afterward really let this guy show his true colors.

>>378577673
Maybe because he was only good with gragas and Alistar. Two champions that had such insane AP scaling that they had better burst than any assassin.
There's a reason he stopped being relevant after s2

>>378578038
He was still good at other champions, it's like saying Peanut isn't the best jungler in the world because he's only "good" at graves and lee

URF is for terrible players who can't manage cooldowns and resources. Plus, people only spam the champs that are know to be OP instead of being creative for once. Fuck that shit and fuck all the bronzies who keep crying out loud for its return.

Old GP was great.

Anon, he's possibly the most communicative Rioter they ever had. He voices the upcoming changes to champions and he likes to discuss them with the community.

>>378557732
Cool. Only took like 5 years to fix that.

Now removing flash when? Bite the fucking bullet you pussies its the biggest problem with LoL

meddler is like is they took Jeff Kaplan, made him competent at his job and took away all the reddit pandering

>>378578208
Urf is for making infinite tunnels with Bard.

I have good memories of the original URF,
as I mained Soraka at the time. Remember how she was so broken they had to disable her on the second week?

>>378578341
In what world is flash a problem

I'd really love to hear your justification for this one

Oh wait they never got out of groups

>>378578417
Yeah I had some fun on the original URF. But then people started making tier lists for the mode and you couldn't play a game without a Zed, an Alistar or a Sona.

>>378575896
That doesn't fix the issue of getting new champions. Assuming they haven't massively boosted income it use to take some 50 games iirc to get a new 6300 teir champ, which is an astounding amount of time. You'll never ever own even a fraction of the champion pool, and good luck even keeping up with the meta honestly.

>MUH BRONZE ELO!?!!!!!!

flash is very healthy for the game it adds a mini objective and sets up for a lot of decision making. People who hate flash need to either
a. get out of bronze
or
b.go back to sucking valves dick like the faggots they are

They beat EU atleast

>>378579198
If they ever bring back non-shit (random) URF, go Morgana and Lux duo lane and just permanently snare one opponent. They will never get away.

>>378563046
I'm not marketing I just love League =) Everyone should download and play it. It's free!

I used to play lol in 2010.
Did they finally removed runes from the game? I remember it giving a massive advantage over new players. A full set of runes would give you stuff like 8% lifesteal or 6% dodge chance for free at level 1 while someone without it would have nothing.

Thats like 600-800 extra gold at the start of each matchup

>>378579298
EU world championship titles: 1

NA getting out of groups: 1

really gets noggin joggin

>>378578986
Maybe they changed they way they work since last I played a few years ago but they liked break and buff champs too frequently for my taste. I mean sure you could one trick Heim or whatever to diamond, but why would you when some champs were just massively better than others. They couldn't balance for shit, which tends to happen when they keep adding to an already massive pool of imbalanced champs.

>>378579298
>>378579393
EU is/was proving to be the worst region, but it doesn't mean NA has any remote chance.

Did they redo GP a second time?

>>378579640
The game has been a turd and dying since at least two years ago, but you win. I didn't pay enough attention to notice that. What team won, and how much of it was chinese/korean?

>>378579864
the team that one was the same korean team thats won the world championship 3 times out of 6 championships and they are 100% korean.

>>378579864
SKT T1, 100% Korean. They've also won worlds S3, S5, and S6, and will almost definitely take it S7 as well.
