Is the AD reduction on W from 90% to 30% not ridiculously harsh? Love the detection of the changes but genuinely concerned that this will completely kill her late game damage, especially considering her early game damage is also decreasing significantly.

Thanks for this comment, this is something that doesn't really come through from the video:

W is FAR more consistent and there's far more of them. On live, if you hit all 5 enemies with W, you would get a 3.6 tAD from bounces alone. Across 3 auto attacks, this is a 10.8 tAD ratio. Pretty big! But very hard to pull off.

The new version is 7 bounces at .3 ratio, but due to the duration change is somewhere between 6 and 10 auto attacks. Assuming this is 6, this is a 2.1 tAD ratio over 6 autos for an entire 12.6 tAD. In addition, they are FAR more likely to hit their ceiling for damage due to changes in behavior and range.

In all honesty, the correct number may be even lower than .3 with the above context, but it's not exact science and our analysts are working on it.

Appreciate all the thoughts and hot takes in here. I can answer a few questions a little later today if they are replies to this comment

So genuine question then. Why are champions like Rakan, Thresh, and Urgot considered ranged if she has a further attack range? I always assumed it was just a line that was if more than x you are ranged if less you are melee, but if you could please explain what the thought process is here I would greatly appreciate it.

Well I think u are making a lot of assumptions based on a video for a champion who’s kit hasn’t been revealed yet.

I had been working as software engineer for a couple of years. A post showed up on Reddit, and I responded to it. /u/xNymia, a former Rioter, showed the post to the person who would eventually become my team lead and manager. They invited me to interview with them for a position as an application security engineer. The rest is history.

In general, we don't require degrees to work at Riot. However, if you're trying to get a new position specifically in a place where you require visa sponsorship, a degree is almost certainly required because of immigration laws.

Best decision I ever made.

Teach me how you did it omg, I'm budgeting on 16k right now and it's hard

This was back in 2013. My rent was only 400 pounds and everything was a lot cheaper than it is now. I didn't (and still don't) have any life outside of video games, no kids, no school debt, no gf etc

Like yeah yeah cost of living, we get it, but that isnt funny at all and looks childish as f**k.

I actually publish my salary as part of pay transparency efforts within the gaming industry. That said, where I live, it's definitely true that I will likely never own a house with a lawn. Apartments here cost 400-500k, let alone houses! In California, where I'm moving to, you're looking at 3-4x that. House prices have risen faster than salaries have, and that's true in most places.

I don't really want to argue with you; I'm sorry the joke didn't land well with you.

What's something that you think has been good for years that nobody has picked up on other than Sejuani? I love theory crafting so I'm interested.

Senna with more champions than Tahm Kench. Marksmen are her worst lane partners. Throw a dart at the list of champions, especially melee or mage, and you’ll hit something good.

Double points if your co caster groans.
