Just expect a 1vs2 and go defensively. I don't know much of the current state of LoL but I assume there's still healing potions, Teleport is still a summoner spell and defensive masteries still exist (and the AI not having been improved much). It's probably a better form of practice than going 1vs1 and it shouldn't stop you from finishing the game in 20+ minutes and hitting the XP/time sweet spot (if you just care about leveling your account). Playing solo top in bot games is how I learned how to freeze the lane. I was also thankful for every person who learned to jungle in vs AI games instead of doing a crash course in normals, so I didn't even give a poo poo if they donated their blue buff to the red camp.

The champions might be changed, but you still own the champion afterwards. Runes are going away. I think Luna made a good point. quote:Runes weren't an optional thing, they were required. It's insane to act like you didn't have to buy them. The amount of ip that champions cost and runes cost were directly competitive to ensure you had to prioritize one over the other. For years we've all been making GBS threads on how terrible runes are and that we had to put up with it. Is that it weird we want a little more in return now that it's going away AFTER we invested in that garbage? There's a great opportunity to welcome back old players back to the game, people from back when shards weren't even a thing. But you when say 20-25% that doesn't feel very encouraging to re-install and see how much fancy new funbucks you got (and what you can spent it on).

iSurrender posted:A very convincing argument there. I didn't think it was worthwhile to spend more time on that comment than you spend coming up with the analogy. Because it wasn't a good analogy. At all. Edit: Getting free poo poo is nice, getting more free poo poo somewhat dependent on what you invested in the game is even nicer. Just look at the HotS 2.0 release. It's still MOBA #3, but that game got a significant shot in the arm with that update (even though their new unlockable system is a confusing freemium-style mess).

njsykora posted:I'd argue over HotS being the #3 MOBA, it's probably #4 behind Smite. I'd give HotS the advantage based on a bigger Twitch presence and having a permanently visible spot within the Battle.net launcher (despite Smite having a superior business model from a consumer perspective). It's definitely between those two though. What would be the final game in the MOBA top 5 though? The first Dota? Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Sep 3, 2017 |

Buckwheat Sings posted:Yeah I'm kinda sad HOTS is doing kinda stinky compared to Blizzard's lineup. It's as relaxing as a Moba can get. Though I guess people who generally dig mobas aren't into relaxing. Double edged sword? I don't know. Also their art team kinda feels like the B team if you know what I mean. Lucio looks kinda off and he moves a bit funny. All the Overwatch characters look a bit off since they're all downgraded models with far less facial animation. It's a bit like going from a real human being to a Madame Tussaud wax statue. You recognize who it is, but there is just a whole lot missing from the real deal. As for HotS, I think it mainly appeals to people who could never get into LoL/Dota or played those games and got burned out on them. It's a more casual MOBA for a more casual audience. I'd make a comment about "people who don't want to read patch notes" but we all know those people exist for every game.

I'm tempted to reinstall LoL to see how much blue essence I got, but I think I would become horrible depressed at the amount of unspent RP instead.
