Is the game in general a bit... glitchy? I had a match where I loaded in, but couldn't see anyone until I restarted the client. Crashed in a different way after that, too. Does the game not handle well with alt-tabbing, maybe? Or are co-op bot matches glitched?
I don't generally have issues like that, but it took me a bit to adjust to the way the champ select thing isn't the same thing as the game thing.
Could be some sort of other problem going on, though.
ok, so one of the reasons i love supporting in dota is being able to teleport to a tower and turn around a gank, where they thought they'd be able to kill my carry but instead i kill them...
how do i do something like this in league? as far as i can tell, you can't tp to towers/turrets.. so i'm a little confused how the early game is supposed to work.
You can TP, but only with the TP spell. This was a big adjustment for me. Turning around ganks in League is much more about predictive movement and "right place, right time" than an immediate turnaround across the map.
Also it's about knowing when to roam, since your map movement isn't quite as free (can't just buy a bunch of scrolls and TP all willy-nilly).
It's not that I dislike carries - they're fun every now and then - but I know that most people will want to play them and that most people will refuse to play support. So I like to kill two birds with one stone by playing my favorite role since no one else is going to do it. I've always been like this, in TF2 I'd most often choose Medic.
Me too! Mercy main, AMA.
But yeah, transitioning into League support was fun. Lots of new stuff to learn, and personally I think it's way more fun than buying a zillion sentries and getting a Blink at 30 minutes.
You are probably better than me, though :)
I have about 1600 hours in Dota 2, and about 1500 of it is on Vengeful Spirit. In League I have always gravitated to playmaking supports that can fix mistakes (similar to the EMERGENCY SWAP).
Naut works for me, Sona, Blitz, Leona. Thresh I'm bad at but has the same potential, and Morg.
Also I LOVE jungle now. So don't be afraid to try new roles -- it's a new game, after all.
did you work on shyv?
Nope!
props on the art! the glowing hand showing the inside of her gauntlets is sick af. gives me description of her yknow?
I am NOT an artist, but agree with everything you've said
Cactopus
i think you're looking for this thread
Could you explain how that can be done? Or link me to an explanation? Didnt find a good one.
They've been added to the screensaver app :)
My favourite login theme and art of all time. Deep and beautiful!
Just one question: does anyone know which programme of plugin are they using for the facial espressions they talk about in the "MAKING MORE BY DOING LESS" paragraph?
I THINK the original art is done with layers in Photoshop and then the animation is done in After Effects, but I'd have to double-check with a motion graphics person to be 100% certain.
I was gonna ask for the story on a zebra walking across your high school campus, but then I remembered being able to see elephants from the window in my high school once or twice and the surprise just kinda faded away.
It's not an interesting story. In Texas people with too much money and too-big ranches fill them with exotic animals (I remember reading there are more tigers in captivity in Texas than in the wild).
My school was in a rural area next to one of these richy-rich ranches. Sometimes a goat would wander over, sometimes an antelope or zebra.
I guess it's the Texas in me
This just feels like a contradiction to anything surprising you.
There are things that aren't surprising in Texas (a zebra walking across your high school campus), and there are things that are (a dude toking up on a public street).
These rules reverse if you're in Austin, though.

sh*t my bad
I'm more interested in the fact that more than 5% of South Korea's population plays ranked games in League.
Took a quick look at this before jumping on a plane, and while the Korea numbers look like they could be accurate, the NA numbers don't look even close. So I don't know what to make of it.
I'm somewhat surprised to see World of Tanks beat out Dota 2. Is WoT really that popular?
It's HUGE in Russia and China.
But you're from Riot so your guess is Riot's official stance on this and you'll be judged and later crucified :)
sh*t
Well, if Riven and Yasuo (or anyone else) are 110% permaban in a P&B with 10 bans, maybe it's time to really do something about these champions..
I think the issue with them specifically is that they aren't as strong as folks perceive them to be, but still have the potential to really ruin your day. The impact feels higher, or something.
What was the point doing an assassin rework if you were going to add 10 bans?
You might as well just delete Riven and Yasuo too.
Actually it's my understanding that this is one of the complications with the system. If people can ban out power picks/comp and have bans left over, they might default to banning "I don't like that," which sadly includes folks like Yasuo.
The team working on this stuff is thinking about that, but I'm not exactly sure what the solution would be.
10 bans per team would be...interesting. Probably not good (and probably not even going through with that many) but would be interesting nonetheless. Good read.
This is bad editing on my end -- 10 total, five per team. Working to update the text :(
If you actually read the boards, everything he says is consistent with what i've read from other Rioters and consistent what he says on dev Q/A's. I think it's a consistent design philosophy.
Hijacking top thread -- this is also a Nexus post and will go live tomorrow. If you're not the type to comment on Gamastra, you can plop into that post for further conversation via your League account.
We're trying something new with this one so curious to see how the Gamastutra cross-post works out!
You jest, but I still get the rare execute to raptors every few games or so. Free me from silver...
Happened to me twice this week
