The Door Frame posted:I give mobile games that do that a pass because they're mobile games and universally bad, but when there's $20 skin packs being advertised for what I'm supposed to buy with the crafting materials, why would I bother spending ~$15 on the pass to get access to my "bonus" crafting materials, instead of just buying the one I want? Ever been to an all-you-can-eat buffet before? Event passes work off of the same principles.

Some things are locked behind the event pass and can't be bought without it. If you don't want any of these (golden chromas), the event pass is still fun if you like to just get a bunch of stuff and don't care what exactly you get. If you want some specific thing that can be bought directly, there's no point in getting the pass. If you hate the loot / gambling system, definitely don't get the pass.

At least the All You Can Eat place doesn't tell me how much more food I could be having if I spent more money If I've "earned" the tokens, then they wouldn't be behind a paywall

any system that makes you exchange money directly for multiple forms of fun bucks is meant to obfuscate your thinking while you are being taken for a ride. carnivals do it with tickets, casinos do it with chips, riot games does it with whatever multiple forms of things people are talking about right now.

I got a chest out of one of those envelopes. It had Pool Party Gangplank in. I'm ehh about the passes, it's a F2P game so it doesn't annoy me like it would in some other games. I'd probably buy one if it was for an event with actual cool skins like Star Guardian.

Is there any rhyme or reason to how stunned characters can still do stuff sometimes? I guess I can understand stuff like Sion's axe charge being uninterruptible but I just had a game where Singed would flip me even though it blatantly said "STUNNED!" over his head.

And Sion’s Q is interruptible - IIRC, the bit where he’s winding up is a channel, so anything that breaks channels (stuns, silences, Kass Q) still stop the skill from going off.

It's just the end result of input buffering. If you queue up your ability at the right time the animation and ability itself goes through and you shave off some of the time you would've spent doing nothing. It's pretty important for trading on a bunch of champions especially toplaners who can go CC for CC like Singed and Renekton.

Shift-clicking like Warcraft 3 doesn't work..

It used to be really inconsistent and mostly applied to edge cases like Alistar's combo but its been kinda adopted as a mechanic and made more reliable.

Yeah usually it's predicting the CC and starting your escape ability at the right time so the animation is rolling when the CC actually lands. You see it a lot with Tristana and Ezreal players using rocket jump and arcane shift to move out of attack range even if a stun landing is inevitable.

You see it a lot with Tristana and Ezreal players using rocket jump and arcane shift to move out of attack range even if a stun landing is inevitable. It should be noted that there's usually a second component to this that could roughly be called movement buffering. Any ability that translates the character's position like a dash, blink, or displacement is called a "movement block," and the most recent movement block overrides the last one. If Thresh hits his Q before Tristana's W movement block is executed, she'll jump away harmlessly; if it hits after Tristana's movement block is executed, the hook will work like normal.

Sexpansion posted:The Morgana visual update looks so stupidly good Yeah, it's boss as hell. It's a shame they aren't doing particle updates for cheap skins on VGUs going forwards; I think they only caved this time because they hadn't explained the policy publicly much, and the outcry was big. I expect they might have to violate their policy on Morde, too, just because he's got so many loving flea market skins that'll look weird with his basic skin's particles, assuming they keep similar color schemes.

But the new model is certainly not bad, and I don't play her much so I don't really care. New Kayle looks awesome

Not a huge fan of the buttwings on morgana, but at least she has feet now and they accomplished their goal of easier cheesecake cosplay morgana costumes that can move through doors without getting stuck. Old classic kayle looks better then new classic kayle, but the transforms and skins mostly all look better then the old skins.

She looks like she should be related to Eve instead of Kayle. But overall better besides butt wings. But I kinda admire that someone in the art department suggested butt wings and got it all the way through. So I'm torn.

I saw one of the animation guys on Twitter answer that they have to do weird animation things to make certain motions visible from the game perspective. Like Aatrox looks loving hilarious during some of his animations because he stretches up to be taller than towers. Basically these models are not designed to be seen from any angle other than top down.
