This is how I imagine boken when I read that.

 

[zkylon]

So what's the new runes to have?

hp/5 seals?
blue cdr/level?
flat cdr blues?
flat hp seals?

flat hp seals are most likely gonna be the one big pickup. i don't think you'll need anything else but maybe also grabbing armor quints is a good idea (since now armor quints + hp seals is better than hp quints + armor seals)

i can see flat cdr blues or flat cdr quints being another big one for junglers, maybe.

[brian!]

what about heroes of newerth

 

[Boken]

not only that but when u super impose the win rates of dota heroes vs lol champs u get a difference factor of 3.5% which shows that dota is less balanced than lol

Dark Seer

 

[Boken]

my friend has a phd in gaming communities sociology (specialising in MOBA) drew this
"the dragons in the background are a metaphor for the hot firey battle that exists between lol n dota. the two minor characters in the foreground represent the players, how they are miniscule in this battle. the use of simplified style and shadowing further emphasize this distinction"

 

[Ferrio]

Dragon knight's dragon form is such much better.

 

[Mister Negative]

riot should give a small IP boost if you play a role in team builder that nobody is queueing for

like if you play support in team builder you get an IP boost for that game. not even like a real IP boost, just a small one.

DK's dragon form has a derp face

i believe they are working on a "fill" option

Like WoW dungeon finder?

 

[zkylon]

this thing you guys are doing actually sounds really cool for me to find maybe a doto hero i'd like. now i'm tempted to try out this dark seer person

also i like this thing rito is doing: http://community.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/balance/BdiOr6zf-46-patch-forecast

basically doing a high level summary of what they're looking to do in 4.6. i love all this design talk, ty rito

 

[Boken]

dark seer isnt rly like orianna

other than he has an ability like ori ult

 

[brian!]

dark seer is really fun
i remember when shyvana came out, a truly outrageousz moment

 

[Mothman91]

dark seer isnt rly like orianna

other than he has an ability like ori ult

well he does shield himself...with damage lol.

 

[brian!]

they do look alike

 

[zkylon]

wow what's wrong with that dark seer dude's face

 

[Mister Negative]

nah i mean just like when you select a role you know how it has a star there for recommended? just check how many people are in queue and have a little "plus" next to the most needed role indicating that people that play a game as that role will get bonus IP.

also just played as draven for the first time and golly is that a hard champ

 

[SteveWinwood]

bboken I'm dead serious let's make the moba mega thread

1. The Lack of Class Diversity in the Jungle

We are currently investigating why other classes of Junglers such as Jungle Tanks like Maokai and Nautilus are not valued in the current game. We feel it largely has to do with the way Spirit Stone and its upgrades scale their effectiveness based purely on the amount of damage dealt.

We think there's some complex work to be done here in order to open the jungle back up to more classes of champions, so we're doing a deep dive at the moment to make sure we have a solid direction before moving forward.

Oh god please. If there's one thing I learned in my jungle marathon it's that I can't play carry junglers for shit.

I remember wanting shyvana to be a tanky ap champ. Was so disappointed when she came out.

 

[Newt]

Nah, AP champs are stupid. AD champs are much more fun to play.
