update from my friend, rito support was actually cool and gave him back his account and his email, although the scammer used up all his ip and rp and they didn't revert the scammer's name change
i guess it's a lot better than nothing, tho would be awesome if rito could just revert him back to like a month's old snapshot, if anything for the name
Because it adds a layer of strategy to the pick and ban phase. Because frontloading all bans does absolutely nothing for a match.
Interlacing picks and bans makes the people banning think about who they want to pick or ban. Like lets say they first pick an ashe, you can ban around that. "Well if they pick ashe, then they probably want to get X wither her.." and thus can counter pick or counter ban. Likewise it adds a layer of strat because you cant ban all the "op meta" characters at once and you have to play around that.
Granted it would be better if comps were a clearer thing in this game. Alot of times in these pro games people only have around 3 champions they rotate because most of the champions currently arent distinct enough to make them work in certain comps. But this is being fixed through reworks and new releases where having niches is seen as a positive thing in ritos new philosophy.
Frontloading 6 bans currently does nothing for the game. Not when the team knows where the bans are going to be directed at.
sorry, i wrote the wrong thing. i def agree that it'd add an extra strategy layer. i don't know how deep it'd be considering league is a very different beast from doto, and i'm unsure if its impact would be positive overall for the game, but there should would be an impact and added layer of strategy.
what i actually wanted to ask is why do u think it would improve champion variety?
Granted with the addition of staggered bans, you would have to remove trading between players. Because thats a joke as well if your first pick just picks the op mid.
i feel like removing trading would be pretty dumb lol
I think my problem with champion design with the philosophy of defined roles is that there's only so much gimmicks you can put into a champion that are legit and will work for the better health of the game. Second being that almost all of these champions have a skill that allows gap closers or disengages or whatnot. There's only so much uniqueness you can put into a game.
i don't think they're running out of ideas anytime soon, look at some of the latest champions like ivern, aurelion, taliyah, jhin, etc.
Azir's issue is that he's too good at everything. IMO he should be an auto-attacking mid-range mage, but currently his Q is a nuke and he has far too much mobility and self-peel and also for some reason can make a turret. Azir is grossly overloaded in terms of strengths and has few weaknesses. He was absurd in competitive play and if he was in any way easy to play he'd have dominated normal play as well. Azir needs significant work in my opinion to make that champion healthy for the game, otherwise he just crowds out every other champion.
azir is tricky cos his "niche", the whole autoattacking from ultra long range thing, is actually the least fun part about him. shurima shuffling about, creating turrets, silly mobility and aggressive dashes are the way he's fun
he's gonna be tough to crack, i think you can just take a lot of extra power from him like his turrets and his shield and stuff but then u have like a really boring adc thing
Thank fucking god Breezy isn't on the champion design team.
lol yeah
breezy means well, but he doesn't seem to know what all champions do and also blindly believes that everything done in doto would fit league 1:1
doto does a lot of things right imo, in many respects i think its general design is a lot better than league's, but the two games couldn't be any more different, and both games should learn from each other, not copy each other
Does anyone not think that there should be more international tournaments (run by Riot or otherwise)?
i would like more international tournaments for sure
i was thinking that like, all-stars is pretty alright, but i'd trade its spot for a srs tournament in a split second
even if it's like some person on worlds thread was asking for, make like a regional tournament that's like top 3 na vs top 3 eu and the same for china vs korea vs lms
