Really sad that didn't end with a " THIS IS DEMICIAAAAAAAAAAAAA".
fallout 4 sucks, so even if i didn't like what i played of s6 i had to go back to league eventually
holy shit quinn deals a lot of dmg. that was a 50min game but still, pretty insane numbers for me playing an ad champ at least
i built her kind of whatever and had like 40% extra cdr since i was running cdr/lvl runes lol, but she's fun
her ult feels like one of the most op spells in the game, it's so much fun
tried a few other non morello mids, ori seems to be ok with athenes and lizzy doing roa first still feels like the way to go.
mundo looked kind of broken and brand too
that's all i learned
cmon
they aren't even doing a nice regional price like they did with starcarft
damn u blizz ;_;

Too little too late breh. Starcraft 2 was the king of the hill back when it came out, shame Blizzard let it die a horrible agonizing death.

I want a dianna skin. Teemo and naut already have a lot.
So of my last 10 games, 70% have been over by the 25min mark. The longest game was 33min. Maybe they overshot? Still I'll take this over the 45+ min marathons.
I think the sweet spot is 35 min. Felt like I had enough time to play the game, get some good items, play my fill and ready to move on to the next.

I thoroughly enjoy faster games. 45 min average got old really fast.

feels bad mang
Yeah and hour games are just soul crushing. It'll take some getting used to but hopefully will be for the best. After all there's a pretty fine line between making games move faster and "you won early game congrats on the lp"
That's the trick. I'm fine with the game snowballing but only with some effort. Don't want the game to be over after a few early kills.
I don't think it's too bad right now. Did they fix the xp on kill issue? That seems to be the only hurdle right now.

Shorter games feel good. I can play more games.
I kinda wonder if early game champs like panth are stronger now as opposed to hyper late game carries like ryze and cass.

Yes and no. Early game you're stronger - Panth is silly with Corrupt Pot and new Ghostblade - but you run out of steam faster since late game comes earlier. and you're basically the same if not worse since total armor pen is no longer a thing.
Basically you have better tools to work out a victory but a shorter span of time to do so.
Snowball =! Fast. It's possible to make the game faster without making the game more snowbally. Snowballing is awful design and shouldn't be celebrated in any way.
You always were my favorite person here.

As stone ocean said, its not that the early game is extended so much as the mid and late game are accelerated with the new gold income. Early game champs can try to snowball your team but had the same limited window to make that happen.
Eh. You can't take away snowballing in a game like this. Just the nature of building xp and gold lends itself to snowballing. What you want though is to make the teams earn it. Not allow a small set of actions to snowball the whole game out of control but allow teams that have built a lead to continue to push it through continued actions to win the game. I don't want an early lead to seem meaningless like it often was last season. But I do like the direction of forcing teams to do something with that lead instead of just letting it compound by itself.

Agreed.
Stone Ocean

No it's not. This is a competitive game, a lead needs to matter significantly otherwise we end up with the snoozefest that was season 5. Sure, the game can't be snowballing out of control every time resulting in stomps but at some point you have to let go of the hand of the losing team and allow them to get fucked because they got outplayed.
i mean, clearly the game is kind of a balance trainwreck right now and it's not that s5 had a lack of "snowballing" in that the team with the advantage had trouble making use of it, it's that the most effective way to use it before was to wait for tp cooldowns and just slowly starve out teams which is what we saw a lot of in competitive
now the game feels kind of out of control because turrets are dumb weak and you can easily take two or three out of a 20 minute ace or something. it's kind of ridiculous
the game feels more snowbally cos it's a huge immediate turn rather than a slow agony like before.
we'll see how the game looks with the homeguard stuff and the minion change and the stronger towers
lower game times is something i think everyone can get behind, but i think turrets being buffed/fixed is kind of a big necesity

Balance is definitely not ok but between the current state of the game and S5 aka Civilization 5 I'll waddle through the current bullshit until it gets tuned down.

Who said you can't take it away? I said there's ways to speed it up without adding to the snowballing effect.
Both of you are making significant leaps in logic about what I said, but whatever.

Illaoi has one of the coolest visual designs and themes in the game.

Not long til we get to see Poppy
