Support NeoGAF

[Macattk15]

Lissandra.

I see her played more as a Support or Top than mid.

But yeah I forgot about her.

 

[Boken]

Jinx reminds me of Tiny Tina from Borderlands 2.

In other news, her kit sounds great. Will definitely give her a try. Dat global ult.

I think shes closer to Tank Girl actually.

Didn't they just release Lucian? Why another bot laner? Who is the last mid they released?

somebody complained that there are only 15 marksmen

i think it was kayos or dimb

whoever playes her as a support should be shot.

 

[Q8D3vil]

Jinx the new miss fortune.

 

[Newt]

won 4 out of 5 games in TT and ended up in S1. Probably easier to grind to gold than win 5 games in a row right?

One does not simply base race against a Diana with a retarded build.

 

[kiunchbb]

The concept art is great, but the model... the model -.- it took 6 months+ to create a champion, and this is the thing they came up with?

maybe you guys are too next gen for me whats wrong with the model is it because she cannot waifu

Just because she isn't stupid "waifu" material doesn't mean her design is bad.

I think everything but her face is awesome. Her face just looks dated and not very well designed. Other than that she sounds awesome. More ADC's, sweet.

At least you guys get new characters more often than every 6 months. :'(

 

[PhillipCostigan]

it looks bad in screenshots. Interested to see what it'll be like in game.

Also, maybe a Neon Strike skin?

 

[jerd]

That doesn't look anything like an adc kit imo. Which I'm very happy about. I'll probably get her to try in solo lanes.

 

[Boken]

I play on medium settings anyway so as long as she sounds batshit insane im game

At least you guys get new characters more often than every 6 months. :'(

i played with 109, anbokr n yuber the other day
it was k
u shud join us

To be fair, the faces of models aren't particularly important since they have extremely limited visibility in-game due to the fixed viewing angle and level of zoom. This may be a case of them simply wanting her big dumb grin to 'read' properly in-game despite how little of her face will normally be seen.

 

[Acerac]

horrible garbage model. like, unbelievably bad. "how can riot okay this for the game" bad. complete lack of color coordination and stylistically derivative.

then you probably already like the four other champions they re-purposed abilities from.

i don't understand why this champion exists.

Aren't you glad they drastically cut down the amount of champs they released so that all the new ones this year could be so very disappointing?

Why is her model so bad?

 

[Boken]

uh
hes parodying something its not real

and i still dont get it whats so bad about the model, yes face is limited visibility and all that hair look at it

The concept art is great, but the model... the model -.- it took 6 months+ to create a champion, and this is the thing they came up with?

o ya i remember hearing they only get a limitd amount of pologyons
im not a graphic person but i think hair takes lots of polys rite

Splash art:

uh thats kinda scary
: (

 

[Ken]

that face must be what happens when modellers dont look at the concept art

 

[PhillipCostigan]

uh thats kinda scary
: (

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Splash art:

It's the same as Vi's splash, only totally destroyed this time. Love it.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

yup.

here's a larger version:

 

[dimb]

uh
hes parodying something its not real

it's not parody. i genuinely think riot did a terrible job.

somebody complained that there are only 15 marksmen

i think it was kayos or dimb

please. i would never complain about this. ad carry is the most interchangable role and doesn't require as big of a pool. also most of the choice are viable, unlike other roles.

what i don't understand about jinx is how she fulfills a different role than someone like caitlyn. zone control. long range poke. very long range finisher.

there is still important information missing, but what is supposed to be the hook to jinx's kit? the movespeed off enemy/tower deaths seems too plain and similar to varus. her slow is another completely plain ability on the surface. same with her ultimate just...what is supposed to be unique about it? it is regressive from even stuff like draven ult where you are trying to land it going on the way and back. the idea of switching between types of attacks is fine, but it feels like they only got that far and padded her out with spells they think suit the ad carry role by liberally borrowing from similar champions.

the splash art and in game model do not even look remotely similar.

 

[Subtle]

Well when you look at her hair mid movement animation it will look weird!

 

[Newt]

The concept art is great, but the model... the model -.- it took 6 months+ to create a champion, and this is the thing they came up with?

She sounds like a lane bully ADC...


I love lane bully ADCs. The question is, is can she top Draaaven.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

how does it not look similar? Theirs less focus on the face because in game you rarely see it. She still has the same clothes, build, hair, weapons, colours etc. The face is the only difference I can see.

Global AoE execute that gains damage and speed as it moves is pretty unique.

Switching weapons on her Q looks cool.

Like not every ability on every kit is going to be completely unique. We're 116 champions in now.

 

[Boken]

how can you say it is not parody when you say something like this

complete lack of color coordination and stylistically derivative.

do you even colour wheel?
its light blue - purple - pink
........

i think the hook is managing her Q.

on second blush, i agree that her face is pretty different to her concept art. its sad but not a huge deal since you usually dont see it

------------------------------------------
but srsly guys, that splash art is kinda scary :'(
it needs more colour

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Also:

even bigger splash, just to torment boken a bit more:

 

[Ken]

low standards yo

 

[dimb]

........

There are like four different shades of pink/purple on the model. There are also multiple shades of blue. Many of them clash. If you look at the concept art you can see how poor the color translation is regarding skin tone, colors, fabric patterns, etc. The color is a disaster.

i think the hook is managing her Q

Then they should build a whole kit around it.

Would you rather I posted about how insulting it is for Riot to be releasing new ADCs while they sit on two recently released ones that are busted?

Meh, Quinn is kinda cool, she does feel really unique.


Lucian is complete garbage. He's generic, weak, and useless.

 

[Boken]

youve never used a paper bag?

"There are also multiple shades of blue. Many of them clash."
different shades of a colour dont clash
you dont colour wheel

you can continue complaining about adcs but you just dont colour wheel

Live design =/= champion design team.

Lucian's having work done next patch, already confirmed.

Quinn's had a tonne of work since she came out.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

The model and the concept art look completely different.

I would understand if the model was old and they just used chinese art like with some of the other champions. But don't they usually spend months on one champion? Not sure how this passes for final.

Honestly if they just fixed how she looks I wouldn't be so let down.

Her artwork just looks so much better than her in game model is all...

 

[Boken]

other than her face, what looks so different?

for fun:

 

[Wolf Akela]

I'm confusing her model a bit too easily with Arcade Sona.

Am I the only one who gets irritated at how Riot STILL cements meta on champs? They say "oh no we don't want to enforce the meta" but look at her preview: BOT LANE

I'm a bit glad we're getting a fun-themed champ though.

 

[Subtle]

She has the Arcade Sona face yeah

 

[kiunchbb]

Just because she isn't stupid "waifu" material doesn't mean her design is bad.

Just because a chair isn't a "stupid "waifu" material" doesn't mean I can't tell when a chair is badly designed. This character model belong to runescape. They didn't even bother to put a bit more effort to match the color in the concept art. It is like they designed it this way just so they can remake it in a year and call it a new feature.

 

[Mothman91]

for fun:

her chest.

 

[Pancakes]

her chest.

Hue.

 

[drawkcaB]

Outside of Jink's face I don't have a problem with the model. The kit looks solid. My interest in her depends on whether or not she fills something I currently need in my ADC pool.

the one we got yesterday was sepia toned

 

[Hazaro]

I'm going to play. I'm coming from 2 months of DOTA.
I want to wreck face and not rely on my team. Who do I play (That's free). Also when someone calls mid / jungle and I don't care and will take that spot anyway how do I make that work.

Zed. esp if you have low ping.

Pantheon's free right now. But, you know, teamwork OP and all that.

You ask politely, and if they say no suck it up and play support if you have to because everyone hates that guy.

I'm not installing onto my SSD so it's a crap shoot I guess.

Also the things I learned are:

infinite wards
buff to scout wards
spam your shit because everyone has infinite mana

what else

 

[PhillipCostigan]

skillshots.

energy.

other resources like heat, ferocity etc.

AD, AP, Armour and MR. Not Strength, Int and Agility.

Your abilities scale off item stats.

Less actives I guess.

Skillshots.
