I just looked up Hunt of the Blood Moon (I stopped playing this game about six or seven years ago and only picked it back up to mess around in TFT), and wow. It sounds like Riot said "Well the reason why Dominion failed was because it was on a different map, so let's just take all those changes and superficially paste them onto Summoner's Rift" Ironically, a large part of what made Dominion fun for me was that Riot had no understanding of what made it fun

I can understand not wanting to devote constant attention to it but dominion could definitely be brought back at least as a rotating game mode

The announcement at EVO was bereft of real details beyond, "We're making a fighting game for Riot," so I'd imagine it's not gonna see the light of day before 2021.

Monathin posted:part of what makes aram steady is the fact that its literally half the time commitment of any other mode so if you just wanna throw down and not gove a single gently caress and also don't wanna spent loving three hours chasing your first win of the day because [insert role you are not playing here] shat the loving bed again its actually a pretty fun casual mode Yeah plus you get to play all different kinds of champions and between the rerolls and trading I almost never ending up with a pick that makes me want to not play.

Sometimes ARAM can be annoying too, not necessarily cause the mode itself. Somedays my rank games are basically ARAM so I don't want to play more actual ARAM.

One last Dominion note is that balancing Dominion actually wasn't that hard. Riot just wasn't willing to make changes specific to Dominion for years because ???

So, do the event passes actually give prestige points for doing things? The only listed things on the Worlds event pass is the 25 points for completing all the missions and 100 points if you collect 2200 orbs which seems like it would take forever. Maybe that's the point? I was kind of thinking about grabbing it, as I'd like to get the MF prestige skin because I'm a sucker you see and the wording seems to be that you'd need 100 points to get her.

AFAIK, two of the three perma-banned characters (KZ and Jayce) eventually got tuned down to not be auto-win on Dominion any more. Of course, there was no way of fixing Kassadin short of removing his ult, so there wasn't really anything to be done there.

Elvis_Maximus posted:Maybe that's the point? More or less. It's meant to incentivize you to open up your wallet and buy some bundles to make up for the deficit. With that said, you can generally get to the 2200 point requirement if that's the only thing you're focused on getting, if you play a reasonable amount of games every day with the pass bonuses, and start collecting tokens at the beginning of the event.

I've just started playing chow, and while lots of fun his ult meter on the health bar seems to be.... unreliable? Is it just bad luck people are getting health back the moment I chomp or is this a known bug?

Based on playing any champ with an execute, I’d say it’s bad luck/unfortunate timing. You’ll especially notice it on Pyke, because he has delay on his ult.

Is it just bad luck people are getting health back the moment I chomp or is this a known bug? The former. There's a lot of sources of incremental healing in the game (Conqueror, Taste of Blood, Grasp, Time Warp Tonic, lifesteal, passives, innate regen, pots, etc.) that can push them above the execute line. It's best to always have them at least a little below the threshold instead of risking it by trying to eat them directly on the line.

I actually really hate the indicators for execution because it can give you a false sense of certainty and as someone who use to play lots of AP chogath mid back in the day after a few games you get a sense for it. You can tell how much hp on which champs will execute. That always felt more rewarding.
