I think that all the invulnerable yellow mana ninjas should be steadily made worse (just remove a spell with no replacement, make their autoattack animation 2 seconds long, etc) over the course of a month or so and then removed when everyone has stopped playing them.

im of the weird opinion that heroes should have resources other than time to manage, and that at the very least the ones that don't should be vulnerable to being killed and not literally invincible and unkillable at all stages of the game please and thank you

I do admit that I find it a little funny that what used to be the main counter to endless waveclear (dive comps) are now incredibly hard to execute because the community collectively whinged about tanks hard enough to force all of them except Sion, Sejuani, and Alistar straight out of the meta. All of the engage-heavy tanks feel loving miserable to play toplane versus Conqueror setups.

Her passive is ‘if I can slow lane down I will outlast my opponents mana bar. Her Q is really safe, reliable poke.

alternate mechanics like energy and rage and heat are loving cool and riot should invest more time in using them rather than manaless champions which are not interesting at all anymore. lets see a champion that gat another resource that they have to charge up to use any abilities

Too long with them and you will probably develop bad habits As to the second part, who cares.

Giving a character mana should be considered a game design failure imo.

Vermain posted:I think it's mostly okay. The two poster children for manaless waveclear - Zed and Katarina - aren't in the same boat in terms of speed/efficiency/safety as champions like Taliyah, ASol, or Anivia, and this particular change seems more intended to solve mid/late-game clearing problems instead of early-game clearing problems. Zed has to use his escape/gap-closer for his waveclear to be quick. Katarina has to stand directly next to the wave. They both already have issues.

Ahri is better than before after playing her. Her e dmg amplification is insane late game. Leblanc rework, I played 1 game after she was renabled. Gotta get used to R not being a toggle style spell anymore. She feels ok but it's hard not to miss the w q waveclear she had. Definitely has stronger early trading but has her old weakness of not being able to push until 6. Galio's ult cooldown is insanely long. So going mid with tp then splitpushing in the mid game is a lot harder because you have to rely more on good tps rather than your ult. I even played it with ultimate hat. Also it is really hard to itemize for cdr on Ap galio. Zhonyas/Banshee/shoes are the best options but defensive shoes are better so you can lane more aggressively and take harass.

i have done many bad things in my life. i have queued with people far too low in ranking for my existence in the game to be anything but unfair. i have played lulu top. i have played shaco jungle, and pure AP(with pure flat AP rune) teemo. but nothing... NOTHING i have done has been heinous enough to justify this: there was a coin leona who would ult waves to stop pushes, and out of the other 4 members of my team, that was the person i wanted to play with again the most.

All of the engage-heavy tanks feel loving miserable to play toplane versus Conqueror setups. i wouldnt mind tanks in the top lane if they didnt all have infinite, free waveclear of their own. getting a 100 gold lead on poppy only for her to q the wave and run to safety for 15 minutes every loving game was not fun. or for nautilus' entire gameplan to be "e the wave and grab the guy into my creeps because im too feeble to win a trade without all six of them"

Pro Zyra tips 1) make enemies engage into you (by which I mean, wait till they walk at you) 2) spend some time during the fight doing other stuff, like hitting vision plants, after you've dropped your first rotation to bm your opponents e: 3) get flanked by a tank, don't notice, get saved by your team: a skilled and correct line of play I really want to record the number of accidental 'whoops I guess that plant 100-0'd someone' versus on purpose 'I cast spells at this man to make him die' kills I get as Zyra. https://plays.tv/s/LhQ251OMRgdH Also the obligatory 'I dealt the most damage so I'm the best player' screenshot (nevermind that I was mostly damaging tanks with liandries): I hope the mana changes encourage more manaless mids so I can get more blue buffs for Zyra, the Real Carry. The Shortest Path posted:It goes back up to 3% when it upgrades to Seraph's, so it's only a temporary setback. Does it help at all that their mana growth is staying the same, or does loving their early mana options matter way more?

kingcobweb posted:I thought it locked you out of draft mode for a while Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I looked it up and draft mode unlocks once the account is lvl 10 and owns 20 champs. I thought it was worse than that. It's not like blind pick is the "wrong" way to jump into pvp either, the games tend to be a bit more casual which is nice but you should probably be willing to play any role.

foutre posted:Does it help at all that their mana growth is staying the same, or does loving their early mana options matter way more? For mid malphite specifically it makes his mediocre-at-best laning even more dire, which gives the enemy lanes more of an opportunity to get far enough ahead that you can't gib them easily at 6 or in the midgame. Past that point his mana matters a lot less. Of course, he's already a really gimmicky pick so

Someone sell me on the necessity for huge wave clear changes. As far as I am concerned, easy wave clear allows you to get to the fun part of the game - moving around the map and fighting other people. Killing creeps is just a necessary evil.

The main issue is that massive waveclear means that if even one person is alive you can't really push, which stalls out games. That's why Banner of Command is so appealing now, it lets you take towers from outside normal waveclear range.

drat, those Lux buffs are nice. Lucent Singularity requires a bit more precision to hit in lane and isn't as good as a zoning tool, but that's a small price to pay for a sizeable decrease in mana cost and cooldown.
