I’m coming up on about one year of playing league which definitely makes me a newbie with how long the game has been out. I love hearing about what the game was like before I started playing so drop your favorite fun fact about old league down below! Can be anything like old items, champ reworks, funny bugs, anything!
External link →Dodge used to be a stat in the game and Jax’s entire champion revolved around it. His current E lets him dodge all attacks for a period of time. His old E activated whenever he dodged, so he got a LOT of stuns off. Sivir’s old passive was to gain dodge chance while moving (it didn’t make her more viable she’s always been a mess).
Plated Steelcaps used to be Ninja Tabi which used to give dodge chance. Yi building these meant there was just very little chance of hitting him even when he wasn’t in Q.
It was also very common to take a single dodge rune, like a single crit rune, with the old system. The crit rune used to be for level 1 fights being coinflipped by a 1% lucky crit. 1% dodge was useful all game tho and you’d randomly miss an auto attack because of it.
There was also only one (1) item to counter dodging — Sword of the Divine. It gave a passive attack speed boost and an active that gave a timed duration where your autos couldn’t be dodged. It was a meme item because it lost the passive while on cd so it was a dead item slot, worse than current GA on cd. It was reworked after dodge to be an active of 3 autos w/ 100% attack speed guaranteed crits, but still lost the passive on cd. I think Vayne used it quite well for an assassin playstyle but was still a meme item.
Prefacing this by saying we do not have any plans to ever add dodge back into the game. But if my understanding of the tools that I have used/seen are correct, dodge is still technically in the game, but everyone has zero.
dodge is still technically in the game
Like Jax and Shen? Or is that something different?
No think of it as a stat like AD, Armor, or Magic Resist. But for Dodge, everyone just has 0
