I don't think they'll add a 5 second disable, it seems like entirely unlike what riot ws did in S4 like removing single target silences for kassadin and leblanc and reducing CC durations.

Ah gently caress. I was doing well in ranked but I botched my promos to get back into Silver II (where I ended preseason) and the game about faced and took a ton of LP away compared to what it was before. Given my 50% winrate I suspect that means it will now actively begin taking away equal or more LP per loss than per win and work to keep me where I am or drive me down in ranked from here on out. I guess there goes my chance to get into Gold. :smith:

Bullshit. Stopping time for five seconds would literally be the least counterplay possible of any ability short of automatically winning the game by pressing your ult, and it would be a loving nightmare to program. It would also completely clash with Zilean who's entire gimmick is time mage.

Can you imagine how incredibly unfair and unfun that would be? Time stops, an assassin casually strolls up your AD and kills them over the course of three seconds, and then casually walks away. What could the ADC have possibly done to prevent that?

The same way you counter every other initiation ever?

But if you insist, here's a balanced time stop ultimate: Time stops for 5 or so seconds. Only you can move, nobody else, not even your teammates. While time is stopped everybody on the map is untouchable.
Bam, balanced.

Plus she's a lot of players' waifu and Riot has replaced their eyes with dollar signs. Predicting DJ Sona is about as hard as predicting that the tides will come in.

More like she is just like Udyr and a skin where every spell changes her model is not a far fetched concept.

Lightning Knight posted:

The WhyRenektonWhy guy was talking about DJ Sona months and months ago, but besides that it's pointless to speculate about this stuff without insider knowledge ourselves (Brackhar pls) so I don't know why you guys are getting bent out of shape about it. DJ Sona is confirmed, next champion is up in the air. Who cares past that?

The files for DJ Sona and many other skins and champions were found by others though, they consist nothing but the name and even there it is the developer name they use.

Also WRW said that the ultimate skin will be released last year so he is obviously making poo poo up.

This is what I'm expecting, if it isn't CC. Free ability to move around + cast spells but they stay frozen in place until the timestop's done. More about setting down Rube Goldberg traps than autoing somebody to death.

Even if they can't kill you, having your game paused for 5 seconds is kind of anti-fun. Even if Riot brainstormed something like this at some point, I can't imagine them keeping it.

Ehhhh, I wouldn't be that sure. Imagine the high from seeing some fucker set up a meticulous plan for five seconds and then at the end you avoid every single skillshot and kill him on top. Would feel super good to outplay that.

Imagine being the guy trying to last hit minions when this epic fight happens just close enough for you to get caught in the stun but too far away to help. Or the teammate setting up the greatest play ever when you freeze them and move into a bad spot.

...I think we're imagining a different kinda timestop. I'm assuming one of the following two:

A) Single target timestop where both the timestopper and the target are removed from play for a little bit, leaving the stopper free to try and kill the stoppee without pesky tanks bothering him

Or

B) Global mapfreeze for five seconds, the stopper can move for the duration and cast spells, but the projectiles/windup timers/whatever are frozen and don't move or wind up until normal time resumes.

The former is definitely pretty annoying but not really much moreso than Zed (and if the stopper has no mobility spells, much less so). The latter can't really cause any of those fuckups I don't think.

The first is basically poppy's ult and I don't think they're going to do that

I was imagining the latter (although with a limited range because Riot hates global spells). If it's global though, it's totally worse. 5 second stuns for no reason whatsoever just because some people on the other side of the map are skirmishing would be incredibly annoying. Yeah, you're not going to die from it necessarily, but it would just be... frustrating? Like your computer locking up every 2 minutes or whatever the cooldown is. At least with like Nocturne or something there's the small possibility that he's targeting you, but with this you know that this has literally no effect on you and you have to sit through the stun anyway.

People just don't like losing control in games. This has nothing to do with balance.

"Melee assassin whose ultimate freezes time for 5 seconds" is literally Faceless Void, it's such a low-effort troll. Why are we even having this discussion?

(I was going to say something about the difference between a League melee assassin and a Dota melee carry but the difference really isn't as big as it sounds so there's no point in getting worked up over it.)

It did not, in fact, make it to live. I doubt we'll ever see direct Riven buffs again, to be honest.
