Luo would have a better answer, but my read on the differences are that Gwen is amazed at everything because it's new to her. Neeko has a curiosity because she has an ethos that already exists (the connections between people and their shoma) and is reconciling that with our world view. Lillia is a much more withdrawn character who, as she blooms, becomes excited specifically about the human dreams and what they mean for their dreamers and her.

Almost like I wrote it... :thinking:

Lillia is a sweet bb angel and I would die for her (as an aside, /u/riotmaxw3ll also worked on her).

But similar to Neeko, her amazement is less new-to-life and more blooming confidence.

I don't want to speak on behalf of that team, so I can't really say more with confidence.

Riot Maxw3ll and Stashu know what players want.

Yeah he is super deep. I think we would be looking at doing something more like Pantheon/Mundo where we freshen up his kit ,but mostly focus on upgrading his visuals.

Here u go.

He has been lower ever since Yone released, but not that much lower. Him and Kai'Sa usually compete for #1 and #2 highest playrate

It's true that part of why we didn't go forward with one of the various "thread-attachment" ults (even though they were very cool and a slam dunk on the thematic) is because they were very heavy on cc and pushed Gwen away from the skirmisher space, but there were also other reasons.

The coolest version in my opinion, which is the one shown in the gif in this article, also had an issue where it needed Gwen to input multiple different directional commands back-to-back which didn't fit well with the base kit which already asks you to do that (both Q and E are high-frequency directional casts that are often cast on different vectors). So while it was super fun to use in isolation, it was very demanding of the player to manage casting Q + E + R1 + R2 all in a short timeframe given they were typically all in different directions and some required high precision (mostly the R casts). One of the big advantages of the final ultimate, even though it has three casts instead of two, is...

We discussed this in the meeting for the article. Neeko is amazed by life. People, mainly. She's curious about them and who they are. But not about things like the smell of dirt or the warmth of the sun. That's what the team wanted to explore.

Sorry if I didn't make that clearer!

Oof I missed this when I checked the staging.

Think of her as the ultimate "f*ck you" to Vayne top.

These are not intended to make the climb easier. Players who spike up above their estimated MMR in rank will still receive less LP for a win and lose more for a loss until their MMR catches up to their LP. This is the same as the inverse where you are not at your projected rank for your MMR and you will see higher gains and lower losses.

The changes we made in this patch are so that LP will change less drastically and gains and losses will be smoother and more consistent overall.

You may still see outliers of LP disparity, but overall it should be smoother.

no ender? downvoted

i just want dominion back :(

Nobody talks about Amumu :'(

Did you...did you even read anything I wrote other than “Rumble ult” and “Anivia ult”?

ikr :(

I was actually having a discussion today with someone about how I think Rumble's ult isn't very good. It just isn't visually clear what it actually does or why it does that.

When Anivia ults, you see a big swirling ice storm and you think "yeah, that's probably going to make me go slow and also hurt me as long as I'm in it.

When Rumble ults, you see a line of rockets land, and then leave behind some fire, and then disappear. I would expect that to do a bunch of up front damage, and then maybe a bit of burning damage over time, or maybe I would expect the rockets to explode at the end and do more damage if I'm on it when they explode.

But that's not how it works. Why does it only do damage over time? Why does it make me go slow at all? Visually, it just doesn't line up very well with what the effect is.

if it was in my power, akali would have been deleted from the entire game a long time ago <3 <3 <3

ARAM is the best mode. <3

pls don't remind me that's a thing, it's giving me nightmares
