This is not my favorite show/content from LCS. But MarkZ has really been putting in a lot of work for content. I really enjoy the overall focus and direction he has gone with it.
....still miss Dash tho.
Out of curiosity, what IS your favourite content/show from the LCS?
I don't mean to offend or be an asshole but can I ask what lead the team to pick Shaco, the most universally hated and despised champion in the game, as one of the new map cameos?
We made one for each champion with a soul fighter skin. Also, his boxes are at least visible in the cameo.
Rest assured if he's actually terrible, we can disable him.
Chimes are a hell of a drug

I may have been too chimed up when buffing Bard

We’re prepping a micropatch to sort him out. Turns out you CAN buff bard too much

A multiplier that you are actively pretending it's stronger than it is. Most champions HAVE to buy % pen item 2nd or 3rd so the armor and mr and so much worse than hp. Hence why overgrowth and scaling hp rune has been on the rise
About half of Yorick's common matchups don't get % pen from their kit or common item buys. Additionally, the durability being placed into armor/mr is resistant to %hp damage, which several of Yorick's matchups have.
I'm not saying it's strictly a buff, but there's also a really severe negativity bias here.
Is the health at lv18 meant to be 1650 on live? The preview said 1950 and so does the client patch notes but then the website patch notes say 1650 along with live.
I'm unsure. I meant to ship 1950 and either made a mistake (entirely possible) or someone tuned her down because of playtesting feedback or another reason (also entirely possible).
I'm very happy to revisit Maiden durability if Yorick ends up in a bad state next patch.
It's removed from tier 1 now? Why?
Tier 1 smite can't damage champions and doesn't slow pets.
Tier 2 and tier 3 smite (the two that can damage champions) should be unchanged against champions and mimic all the same rules against pets unless someone else shipped a change meant as a jungle nerf.
On lethality build, it might be stronger at rank 1 but falls of at rank 2. There's less incentive to build hp items, we go for build pure damage instead.
Having base armor/mr is functionally a multiplier on the HP ratio. The late game HP ratio is essentially higher than before.
I can understand the smite changes on pets, now it should become more a team effort.
But why removing the slow from the first smite upgrade? It doesn't impact the early game, it's just a f you to junglers. Are all main ADC at riot or what
Pretty sure that's a misquote in the patch notes or it's someone else's change. I didn't remove the slow from t2 smite.
Fixed a bug that was causing Gangplank’s R Silver Serpent upgrades to not correctly display the icons.
One Arena Gangplank bug down, one to go!
Unfortunately, the one they didn't fix is the one that impacts gameplay 😭
Its fixed, we'll make sure its in the patch notes
These are incredible. I laughed, I cried, 10/10.
I'd be curious about champs like Zeri/MF/Samira who have abilities that can crit. Zeri in particular has a way higher pickrate with Navori but she still has a decent amount of games with IE. IE has almost a 2% higher winrate(lolalytics).
IE is goated for Samira. Collector IE is a cracked build. Yeah the untargetability sometimes matters but she's so good at applying both of those items.
Zeri is also a good IE user, yeah. Players should typically buy it instead of Quickblades.
I'd be challenger in all of these
Great job on the icons!!
Good luck friend! Rooting for you and interested in the results.
Ie now has the opposite problem though. There's like no champs that buy it bc it's extremely underwhelming in that it just provides stats
This is false. It’s BiS on Yasuo Yone Jinx Caitlyn Aphelios, and maybe a few others that I haven’t checked.
Maybe I should clarify, I know you do game design, I meant like I didn't get the impression that you are on the preseason team (which would be responsible for changes like changing how top interacts with the game). And if you are, that is not the purpose of this particular video and the Aatrox change. If that's not fair either, I can delete my comment because apparently I'm woefully uninformed.
Really just depends on the scope of the work. We absolutely can make large systemic changes on the Live pod.
Right, its not really Phreaks job. He is on balance changes, not game design stuff. Maybe he will do some preseason work in that vein but that is not the point of what he can do as far as balance changes are concerned over a short period.
Not really an accurate description of my job, tbh.
