Everything you said is true but blink is pretty important if you're a decently farming core wr because it lets you actually initiate and erase someone in the early game. Think you still end up with both sometimes tbh

Figure out if the lane can kill you and when, then lane appropriately. If you're tide against two week laners you can run over them, but someone softer has to hide in xp range. Pull from their hard camp when the lane is too pushed, gets you a free wave under their tower. If you're someone that can clear stacks, stack.

creep camp stacking/lane pulling seem like very esoteric features that are not part of the grand 'fight other heroes at all times' ideal this game should be aiming for. kill the jungle i say

Stacking just gives u more jungle to kill when you're done killing lane

Is my hate for pudge justified or should I just learn the matchup

The matchup for every hero is to stand behind creeps at a medium distance and click him. It's more exaggerated for ranged heroes but if you don't get hooked I don't think there's a single hero that loses lane to pudge

The Ancients in Defense of the Ancients is the base cores, so it stands to reason the Legends of LoL are the summoners/summoner cores, not the tiny fantasy men they abuse

Didn't they never flesh out the whole summoner thing and then drop it completely when they realized that an infinity of nameless faceless people playing weird bad arena game makes less sense than saying ON THIS ETERNAL BATTLEFIELD in a soul caliber voice

Iirc their current lore guys basically said "LoL is not canon to the LoL lore", so the fantasy setting is now divorced from league matches

It's whatever though because no moba has had an actually good story, at best some neat concepts in bio blurbs

Clinkz has the best character bio of any character from any video game, though

i wish Amaterasu from the great game Okami was not being submitted as a new courier but actually as a new hero, it would be a good hero, and i want to play the hero that just barks, and there's like so many abilities and mechanics you could do

it would be a terrible precedent but i would love an amaterasu hero...

I mean, we already have noted mtg character Leshrac, Lina Inverse from Slayers, and Kimahri. We're so close already..

The only autocast thing I remember changing over the years is that Puck used to be able to autocast phase shift which could be good or bad depending on the situation I guess.

Automatically phase shifting raw lina ult or whatever was p good, playing against players who knew to pop it wasn't

"I'm just farming so tha-"

"FARMING??" And both Brazilian guys laughed harder than I've ever heard anyone laugh in my life

Incoherence posted:

The graphs were interesting, but the concept of "if you have a bad lane and your item timing gets delayed, your win rate goes down" feels sort of obvious.

It's weird that the Tinker Blink Dagger timing is #1 for high MMR but the Tinker BoT timing doesn't appear on the list at all: usually you think of BoT as the item that enables Tinker to start putting pressure on the map (with Blink Dagger as the follow-up item that just lets him do it more safely).

I feel like they excluded boots and forgot to not exclude bots... The graphs are nice to have an idea of when items are most effective, but it's not really surprising that the answer is "early"
