easy
BUFF ALL THE CHAMPIONS EXCEPT EH STRONG ONES
Make mage auto attacks scale with AP
Nerf the fuck out of ADCs
make it so every role can be in every lane
and stuff
smart
made this pretety quick
also this with a bit of white space at the bottom part so it's not blocked by the windows start bar
duno if that's ok
don't expect anything fancy cos photoshop is being dumb on this installation of windows
i thought about something similar to this but i'm not sure i want to deal with like a ton of champions suddenly turning into zed thanks to itemization

I really dunno how to nerf 2v1s without doing some stupid shit that will probably lead to worse balance hijinxs.
Dealing with TP is easy, just make TP not global anymore with range that scales with levels, cooldown being the same 3 minutes no matter where you TP to.

if we're sharing art we did, here's a 5 minute dragon master swains pet poro I do when I opened a ticket inquiring about a potential dragon master swain
Zed? Nah, I was thinking of stuff like this:
Active: Creates a X hp shield based on health when fully charged. This item gains charges when standing in proximity of an allied tower.
Passive: Gain Xg and Xhp for each minions destroyed by an allied tower.
Doesn't upgrade. Like..Doran's Hammock. Just something to negate some of the effects on being in a bad 1v2 lane.
ohhh i misunderstood you then. i thought u meant items that gave you a lot of power earlygame like a super red elixir or w/e
i'm not sure of how that item would work but it feels like it would just make the champions that are decent at 1v2ing even better?
i feel like maybe the game needs to buff early dragons so that you want to put your duo lane bot or you'll be in a bad spot for losing dragon control. and make dragon stronger so you can't really solo it or whatever
it might make the game more snowbally, but i think the game's pretty slow right now, lots of scaling champions everywhere just cruising to midgame

Game is not snowbally enough.
My idea was do both. Make early drag really important but also make it so Drag hits like fucking Baron so you need at least 3 people to do it early on.

We had those but no one bought them. Chalice, Guise and Cloak & Dagger were strong early/mid game items that no one bought because they didn't build into anything. I mean SotD was extremely strong too but was unused except for a snowball Rengar or a gimmick Vayne.
Yeah, but I'm thinking of stuff you buy early game, as in starting items.
We have 350g support items that let supports be supports, 400g machete for junglers (even though I don't like the idea of junglers having their own items) and 4xxg Doran's items for early combat stats. All these items basically say "this is what I want to do early game", so an item that says "I don't want to get fucked in a 1v2" doesn't seem over the top to me. Ditto a starting "I want to roam early" item, although in practice I assume it would be used by roaming Vayne's because this community is trash.
Riot can't win on this one because now they're forcing a duo bot meta.
Yeah, just to relieve some of the pressure of being in a 1v2. Kind of like a warning to players, "are you sure you want to 1v2?" A lot of the champions that get royally fucked in 1v2 situations aren't massively gold dependent (though yeah some obviously are).

I would say swap the position of dragon with Baron, but that would just make duo go top.
So what if they just removed dragon. Problem solved @_@

game will get boring with no objective.
Goofy hijinx like those in HotS are fun in their own environment but you'd have a really hard time fitting them into a game that tries its best to be a "serious esport"
To me it would be kinda like the NBA adding in a trampoline in the key because that's a fun thing in slamball
God this shit is fucking ridiculous
Edit: Actually that's kind of an apt comparison. League is NBA/NFL, Dota is MLB, and HotS is... idk fucking Wipeout or something

Phew.
Dodged a bullet there. Played ranked and 2nd pick chooses a champion and waits for the timer to stop then picks Fiora. Boom! She says she misclicked. She says it's ok she'll just tower hug and try her best. Fuck no. I know better now thanks to you guys that I should dodge skeptical stuff like that. I can't be forgiving especially in ranked. Dodged that shit and lost 3 lp. Didn't regret a bit since my lp gains were +35.

Well no, if it was like the NBA each objective would be a 'hoop' they have to protect. Or something. Why compare it to the NBA?
Either way they've tried so hard to make Dragon seem worth it, and it creates for stale games in NA atleast @_@
Honestly, I was hoping the map rework would get rid of dragon and baron and replace them with something that doesn't promote the sort of positional meta the current map does. Figured they were onto something with the shrines in TT but apparently that was a one-off case.

so 5.15 is next week and then 5.16 is gonna be the last big patch before worlds and it's apparently gonna have:
* garen mini rework
* skarner mini rework/changes
* morde rework
* darius rework
* bruiser itemization changes
and then 5.17 and 5.18 are gonna be pretty chill since one of those is the one worlds is gonna be played at
pretty exciting stuff

defensive itemization stuff means:
also i actually really like corki, specially for competitive. corki's a very fight oriented champion that wants to kill stuff and wants to kill them relatively quick cos he's gonna get outscaled hard. i like kog and twitch and kalista and vayne too for competitive, champions that thrive in teamfights or skirmishes or whatever
champions like tristana and jinx and caitlyn are awful for competitive tho, wave pushing bots that are boring as hell to watch
so yeah give that trinity force 10 ad and bjork 10 ad, and nerf ie
get the fun adcs back in the game

Maybe buff FQC too. I don't see that item being used anymore.
I want an AP polymorph item. I understand that it'll be pretty OP though so maybe put it in another game mode like Black Market Brawlers.
A question for those who know. How can you change the pic on your profile? Not the Icon but the summoner pic.
Stone Ocean

I think blind pick will give you a random champ if you don't select any?
As long as you close the client before the match starts you're good. Welcome to dodging, get used to it.

You can quit blind pick but it restricts you from playing blind pick for 5 mins and increasingly more if you quit at champion select consecutively.
It dodges the game if you don't pick any champ.
certain summoner icons, I think only ultimate skins icons, change your pic as well.

Thanks.
I find that quite expensive. You know what would be cool? Riot allows you to change the summoner pic not only through ultimate icons but also through acquiring them by mastering a champ. There you go Riot. I just gave you a nice idea for rewards in champion mastery.
Let's talk about Guinsoo Rageblade. I don't think anybody uses them anymore. Maybe time for a rework ala zeke's?

I'm legit shocked. I was Shyvana with BoRK, Sated Devourer, Visage and Merc. Jax had T2 Machete, Sunfire, Cutlass, Recurve Bow. I lost the 1v1 very decisively. I think he had 35% HP left aftewards.
