Just had the game of my life Trist with Cursed/BorK/Demon Lucian with Shojin/BorK/Locket Shen with Ionic Spark I should just stop playing because I'll never have RNG this good again in my life, and that's the only thing that was the reason I won, it had nothing to do with my positional decision making, patience, scouting, item combining choices, counter-picking items, counter-picking champions, health management/sacrificing, or anything else at all. It's pure RNG and I want to beat the guy who designed this game to death with a lead pipe, because I'm a normal balanced human being and I don't have time for the trolls, as the mature adult in the room.

The games where you just breeze through and everything is gifted to you in a nice order counter the games where the rng breaks your brain

Ask me what it's like to roll seven Elises by the start of the first PVP round and hit the poor idiot in second place for 20 damage on round 2-4.

Pantheon was the god of war but we don’t want him to be too godly. Shut right the gently caress up. All that detail with battle damage seems like it’d be lost on character models with league perspective.

Panth just needs a visual update and otherwise left the gently caress alone.

Can't do it, need some mealymouth dork to say the changes will represent greater ~skill expression~ for a champion that was completely and totally fine and that's good, change good, old bad

That's happened to everybody with a champion-targeted ranged attack who gets reworked, hasn't it? I don't think they want their game to do that anymore e: actually i think annie at least has one. nvm I'm wrong.

They made him the God of war he's supposed to be rather than the God of big arrows.

Pantheon was fine imo. Also I've been leveling before the first pvp round every time and then leveling pretty early for the next level too. Usually it lets me Streak into 8+ wins and I get massively ahead. Though my focus on early champions and items leads to me being second or third place each time

If they remove the blocking mechanic from pantheon, everyone who played him before will never play him again. The best part of pantheon was perfectly timing everything, fighting some adc at full health when you have 10hp and winning because of SKILL

Pantheon theme music is  , but his old splash art had more personality. New one looks exactly like prestige blood moon Aatrox.

those animations look like loving rear end. usually they get stuff like that right but the video where hes just repeatedly stunning and wailing on a target dummy is awful the ult seems kinda neat if it means he has a faster delivery time than 40 seconds q being a skillshot was a given which is why anyone who likes the champ has been dreading this rework forever Verviticus fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Jul 29, 2019 |

I’m sad they’re changing Panth. I’ll miss the free lane that comes from taking second wind and starting cloth armor plus potions against Pantheon’s that are used to spamming Q on cool down.

The only thing that is poo poo about Panths current design is it's way too hard to go AP only and have massive Chaos Dunks

Q is a skillshot, which people have been predicting would happen for at least five years now. The ult has a cool new hitbox. Seems really minor

Seems really minor the design intent is different, the skills look similar(and mechanically honestly they seem fun to play with), but the focus of their rework is to make pantheon less sharp, more mechanically varied, and have more options rather than just bullying hard and going for early game dominance. this seems fine, but that is the opposite of why people pick pantheon. people want to play a very simple champion that exists to be incredibly aggressive, one that falls off and tries to win the game early by snowballing and becoming a menace. to clarify, new pantheon looks great, and i am not a pantheon player. but this rework to me seems like “pantheon for non pantheon players”, and the entire rework video came across as tone deaf and insulting to the concerns of actual pantheon players.

It seems like he'll still go for early game dominance?? He'll probably play exactly the same, you just have to aim Q. You could probably punish people even harder if you're good at it He'll still win lane -> ult bot -> build full damage -> win in 18 minutes -> promote your Elo boosting service in postgame chat

gently caress Skillshots(tm) Pantheon is and always should be the man whom kill you if he click on you. No flexibility, no crazy ~but our high elo players  ~ skillshots, just one brutal combo taped together with a great passive and ult. The game is allowed to have simple characters be effective, Riot

Remember when everyone flipped out that they were making Warwick incredibly complicated and why can't the game have simple characters and UGH THEY'RE MAKING WARWICK A CERTAINLYT CHAMP and he's actually infinitely more fun to play now The new champs they're making are definitely too complex and high-skill-cap-broken-in-pro-awful-in-regular-games way too often, but this does not seem like one of those cases??

nobody said they were making him too complicated for bad players. they're just taking a champion that was fine and making him not the champion that's fine. make a new champion with these abilities i dont give a poo poo they hosed up catastrophically with aatrox and akali, stop remaking champions entirely imo. new warwicks arent worth it Verviticus fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Jul 29, 2019 |

Old Aatrox and Akali were terrible designs too, they basically didn't exist unless their items were broken and when they were good they were insufferable to play vs
