riot games unfortunately caters to all manner of players with warped and perverted ways of 'playing' the game, such as facilitating and even unabashedly outwardly encouraging split pushing

idk a champ whose power move is losing like 40% of his max health and his resists to do a bit more damage and also warp drive an adc to another side of the map to get killed seems really awful there might be some serious merit to him as a support though with the unstoppable, the shield giving and Q3 pulling people towards you

Imo the idea of a tank who turns into a squishy murder engine at the right moment is really fun and cool but I haven't played k'sante yet. I hope they can get the tuning right for the concept though. Maybe they should give him a decent chunk of lifesteal when going all out so when he's already lower than the health threshold he can sustain himself.

I played Ksante on ARAM with the new prestige skin. Pros His buttons are all really fun to push, doesn't feel clunky at all which is great (I found the dashes on Nilah & Samira feel really clunky with smartcast with indicators for example) The prestige skin looks NOICE good job lil nas x He has some cool skills Cons He sucks rear end The ult at rank 2 took away 65% of my bonus resist and you lose 50% health, even using it when already AT 50% HP felt severely crappy. Imagine if you are a tank, and you have your HP burned through so you're at half health, the ult actually costs far more than you think because you are essentially reducing your HP not by 50% but by like ... 80% due to the eHP loss of the resists. I just got INSTA BLOWN UP every time, this was in ARAM so like whatever, but it was crazy how fast I died in ALL OUT mode compared with non mode. Honestly his buttons were useful enough that staying un-ulted felt like the move every time which is probably not what the designers made him for. He could just be a poo poo ARAM champ and is better on SR where you can separate people from their team and dump on them with the extra damage

I mean you're supposed to knock them through a wall so you can 1v1 them afterward which you can't really do in ARAM Not going to vouch if it works or not in SR either but you can at least do it there.

Chromas used to be for sale for IP during the Essence Emporium pop up sales in the shop which ran twice a year, but they got rid of that indefinitely. So now the only way to get chromas is to buy them with RP (its ridiculously overpriced). The end of season skin does provide chromas for each level above gold you are.

I remember the first EE I saw I was like "well, I'll just pick out 2-3 chromas that I like the most for the skins that showed up, not like I can wear more than one at a time" and then I realized that my blue essence just keeps piling up because I don't need any more champs, and so on the last one I just went nuts and bought all the chromas I could and I still have like 75k essence and a million extra champ shards I could break down.

Verviticus posted:didnt they say some unbelievably stupid thing like it was too technically challenging to run them yes, but it was actually true in the sense that their item delivery backend is a hot loving mess and the amount of load it gets put under during the BE emporium was apparently starting to affect other services, which is why it had a daily purchase limit taped to it the client servers absolutely exploding during the SG event is tied into this, it literally could not handle adding in a bunch of free emotes and icons to peoples' inventories at the given rate. it's likely they haven't updated the architecture for the storefront in years because it was within the limits of their fault tolerance, but it's gotten to an unmanageable point and requires that it be rebuilt for anything other than day-to-day skin buying

Every time you forget that Riot basically tripped and fell into running one of the most popular video games ever they politely remind you that they still have no idea what they are doing half the time.

I mean I imagine the market for the BE Emporium was more the established players who could afford to buy every champion on release for the rest of the game's history even if they never got another point of blue essence. Combine that with people saying stuff like "I won't buy chromas for RP but I will buy them for blue essence" and you have a market.

yeah ill bet they made it as a way to drain people of their BE and realized all it was was a place for the people with 30,000 games to spend their overflow and there wasnt any incentive to make it work well if it wasnt making them piles of money

I love how hard they make it to disenchant your pile of champions. My wrist hurts more after disenchanting a pile of champ shards than it does after a real game of LoL. Also, they're never going to let us spend blue essence on anything again, let's not pretend that "it's coming soon", we all know better
