Speaking of HoTS, trying dota somehow made me like HoTS more.

 

[Quonny]

thats because dota is on the opposite end of the moba spectrum

Spoiler

and not fun

Inc Riot add day/night cycles to the game like DotA and when night comes Warwick gets a buff of some kind.

not the first reference to midnight so that's the idea i'm getting

maybe not a day/night cycle proper but yes like a unique resource bar for warwick that means he has his own day/night cycle

would be sort of consistent with rito's idea that shapeshifters suck when they control when they shapeshift

 

[Quonny]

a more restricting gnar doesn't sound very fun

Eh

Shapeshifters suck when you cant control their transformation. I think HoTS nailed it with graymane where one skill will transform him into a wolf, and another skill whilst transformed will take him out of it. However I also think shapeshifters should not have a dedicated button just for transforming like Nidalee or Jayce.

 

[Newt]

Jayce and Nid both have really overloaded kits, I hope Warwick isn't the same.

It's a CertainlyT champion

We're all fucked

 

[Talents]

Wait is it actually CertainlyT remaking Warwick?

wew lad we're in for a bumpy ride.

 

[drawkcaB]

i get the impression warwick is gonna be a shapeshifter, like proper werewolf man

I wonder if Warwick will be able to gank pre 6 now.

I think the more recent indication was that Warwick didn't have to wait for level 6 to gank and that Riot still wanted him to be a beginner friendly champion, so that sort of goes again having multiple forms to juggle.

CertainlyT also made Zyra and Darius, so it's not like all his champions are mind blowingly overloaded...lol, no, Warwick is going to have minimum three passives and be a huge pain in the ass for everyone involved. But hey, werewolves are cool, so, eh.

 

[zkylon]

there's a teaser video up, cant link, at work

also lol

also lol

Oh, that is cool.

It reminds me of Bioshock for some reason.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

ARH-WOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Talents]

The trailer is cool but I hope enrage/blood scent or whatever isn't a part of his kit like the trailer indicates, I was hoping for some day/night mechanic :/

there is no day night mechanic

 

[Talents]

Maybe with the Aatrox rework.

Worthy of a gaming side thread?

Probablyl not. Champiom reveals/reworks for games like these dont get threads. You can make it tho 8D

 

[Newt]

I don't think it's worthy of a thread.

 

[zkylon]

can i get a summary of what was revealed?

 

[Type2]

Probablyl not. Champiom reveals/reworks for games like these dont get threads. You can make it tho 8D

Unless its one for gaming cinematics in general. Warwick has an aerial rappel like gap closer, confirmed by the cinematic.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Yea, no CG trailer, no thread. Plus, I mean...it's a rework fam.

Speaking of HoTS, trying dota somehow made me like HoTS more.

how is that even possible. lol wtf.

 

[Quonny]

Blood scent confirmed to stay. Looks like he'll have a leap of some kind. Likely a rage-base champion. Either his passive or ult will allow him to transform into something that deals more damage.

 

[drawkcaB]

Worthy of a gaming side thread?

I can see why you'd want to, being proud of the work you yourself put in, but none of the other ones were. I wouldn't even do it on the off-chance that this counts as self-advertising (does GAF have any rules against that? Not sure).

When can we expect a kit reveal? Later today I hope. Ivern's teaser came out almost a week before his kit reveal but I assume that Warwick will be on the next PBE cycle starting today or tomorrow.

Blood scent being in is great. Great thematic ability, true to his old kit, and very jungler oriented. As far as the leap goes I mean...his Live kit already does that. Infinite Duress has a decent range on it for a point-n-click ability. Only difference is that there's no leaping animation.

 

[zkylon]

i bet sombra got a thread

 

[Quonny]

overwatch lol

 

[BreezyLimbo]

i bet sombra got a thread

Sombra had an arg

And overwatch was goty 2016

And yeah theres self advertising rules in place costy. Im sure youre proud of your work but..idk. Go with your hreat.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Holy shit unexpected horror. Love the trailer. Miss the armor though.

Blood Scent is most definitely a passive. Hoping it smells enemies / large monsters recently injured.

oh I didn't work on this I just thought it was cool lol

I did the kit reveal and champ spotlight

and I can't tell you when but you could probably guess

 

[Quonny]

5 minutes

 

[drawkcaB]

i bet sombra got a thread

Excuse me Sombra is bae

Wait, WW only has one claw? Weeeird

One claw and one wick. Heard it here first: candle wick mechanics.

 

[Newt]

Basically.

 

[Calvero]

Make the thread boi

 

[Leezard]

oh I didn't work on this I just thought it was cool lol

I did the kit reveal and champ spotlight

and I can't tell you when but you could probably guess

For anyone who is wondering, it's most likely tomorrow, around the same time we get patch notes or an hour or two before.

[Newt]

I hope this next patch is big.

I hope this next patch is big.

Nb4 ADC is deleted in the patch

i'm just saying, if sombra got a thread, why not

specially if the trailer is good (tho if it's like a 15 second teaser the nope)

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Make the thread boi

nah I don't want to do lol advertising on gaming side tbh

I don't think it would end well for me even if I'm just posting it cos it's good

 

[Calvero]

I think it's thread worthy.

 

[Leezard]

that's the way to go. self-posting threads of stuff you work on is really frowned upon.

I think it's thread worthy.

Then you should make the thread. Costy shouldn't.

 

[drawkcaB]

Gosh I want Warwicks big orange claw in my asshole so bad

....wat.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Making a thread would set bad precedent

Suddenly every remake or change for a moba character could get a thread

And I dont want to get us in trouble

 

[Newt]

Don't make a thread.

 

[zkylon]

let's make a thread to vote if we should make a thread

also seriously, quick summary pls

 

[Terbinator]

There's a thread on the FP about some silly VO lines confirming a characters sex. We don't need to swoop that low.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

No thread.

I agree with Newt. The warwick rework doesnt qualify a thread.
