Jayce and Orianna imo.

Also, apparently Smite is ripping off League. Or they just ran out of poses.

 

[zkylon]

wait did someone say oriannaaaaaaaaaaa

There's only so many poses one can do total coincidence I'm sure of it

They ran out.

But also ripping off from more popular Mobas

 

[Nekofrog]

it's almost exactly the same even down to details. you can have a generic pose like that but even the fingers are the same

Smite also has a long and storied history of "borrowing" styles from league.

Yeah, that's the bigger 'uhhhh' part of it. Like....it's waaaaay too similar.

Post rework Lucian was the most fun champion I've ever played in this game. I honestly wish they just nerfed his dmg output and kept the really low dash cooldown. Absolute blast to play.

 

[Nekofrog]

he was great in midlane while it lasted. constant heavy harass, and free escapes from ganks all day.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

They should've definitely just hit his damage. Lucian being versatile wasn't a bad thing and it mixed up the meta a bit.

 

[Nekofrog]

there's being versatile and then there's being a straight up lane bully to any lane he decides to go to

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Is there any difference, really?

i mean if he could go mid and bully solo midlane matchups as well as duo botlane matchups something isn't right.

lucy is a pretty dumb champion

don't miss him

 

[Nekofrog]

Varus, Corki, Ezreal @_@ Annie/Morgana/other support mids.

thats not the same. there was very little counterplay to what post-rework Lucian brought to the table vs those other champions. harass through minions via spells, auto attacks, W to boost speed, and a free E that removed slows. let's not forget the ultimate that was on a dumb cooldown for waveclear. it was legit an out and out toxic kit that needed to be addressed on multiple levels.

 

[dimb]

Not like the current meta ADCs like Sivir and Jinx. Haha, they are very fair.

i don't mind jinx a lot but we're banning sivir often on my ranked 5s team since lots of people play her and we generally play pick comps so it's very annoying to play against a team that can steamroll through you like that

but i like them much better than lucy, sure

hopefully he'll eventually be balanced to be a lot less frustrating to play against

Will you reconsider doing a Sandbox mode due to the recent feedbacks?‎

Ghostcrawler: Yes.

Just like replays right? And that new fancy client that's totally on the way.

Mkay rito.

[Stone Ocean]

Lucian was an asshole, Lucian players are assholes and the meta where he dominated was just as toxic as the current ADC meta but at least he's fun to watch.

 

[Peanut Butter]

Speaking of ADCs, is there a reason Draven isn't played by the pros a lot? Is it something about his kit?

No immediate escapes.

 

[garath]

Won a nice 4v5. The gnar quit after giving Darius 4 kills and ahri said "build tank gnar". Lol. We stuck it out, got objectives, picked people off. By the time they started grouping we were too strong. Ahri + Elise + morg with a trist behind us is a lot of CC and damage. I love playing elise. Too bad she's always banned.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Rejoice Breezy, Yorick rework after Poppy and Taric's

No escapes, low effective range, nothing to offer as far as sieges go, Q positioning can be a big risk in organized teamfights and overall he doesn't really do enough damage to justify playing around his disadvantages.

He just doesn't fit in how competitive play works right now.

 

[TomShoe]

Lucian haters gtfo

 

[Wolf Akela]

Kinda susceptible to punishment with TP ganks.

He can be an obnoxious bully if he rushes BT though.

None of these are really why, as many of these complaints could also be made against other AD carries. Draven's late game is not always great, and you can't guarantee a 2v2 laning phase where people lane swap. Other AD carries like Kalista and Sivir also offer similar damage with increased utility.

How does a Gnar lose to a Darius?

You just dodge his E and win lol. I was playing at 200 ping and still beat his ass.

Get cocky and dont dodge his E. You likely lose trades even in mega gnar form Worked for me.

 

[WesternHeretic]

There's now way Gnar lose to Darius after the early cheese though. If you go level 1-6 without dying you should win pretty hard. It just lower elo people die to stupid level 2-3 all ins when their champs suck at it.

I know when I was smurfing with Hecarmin all I would do is a camp get level 2 tp back to lane. And fight and for some reason 90% of the people would trade with me even in low gold...

Obviously I win the trade even though some champ win vs Hecarmin but because they stupidly traded level 1 to level 2 (because they have minion advantage) but my W negates their minion advantage and heals me...

Derp easy first blood... roll on them and go on to end the game with like a 20-2 score. Not exactly because I'm good, but rather because the other top laner is an idiot.

i might be mistaken but i think a rioter mentioned the client being something for the near future? not like this month but maybe preseason?

i think his bigger issue is being an adc that offers nothing but dmg, but is super reliant on snowballing and doesn't even scale that well

like, someone like kaly or sivir or jinx or trist or kog have other uses for the team, like sieging or turret taking or like speed boosts and vision or objective control with kaly e, etc.

and someone like vayne that has zero utility like draven scales way better because of her mobility and % hp true dmg

Lucian was an asshole, Lucian players are assholes and the meta where he dominated was just as toxic as the current ADC meta but at least he's fun to watch.

i agree on the fun part, but i hated playing against him
