so wait, is it a 1v1 mode? what do the other people do? I'm not exactly familiar with this autochess genre
It's an 8 person FFA. Certain rounds you'll play against other people's armies and if you win, you do damage to their health pool. Once they reach zero they are out.
pls make a boar little legend
Just any boar?
Hi there! LEC caster here and also a big fan of the LCK casters! While I am often open to criticism and feedback, I feel like you base your opinion on old information that hasn't been the case for quite some time! I'll try to answer each point individually and I'll use examples where I can.
1. Give fans analysis they wouldn't know on their own - This is, unfortunately, an extremely subjective subject matter. The vast majority of viewers are Silver players. What they do and do not know varies pretty wildly. This means we do our best to cater as much as possible while also adding extra depth where appropriate. I feel like you exaggerate how much things like "CSD" and "Gold lead" is used in a single cast. It's consistently discussed in every cast, but that's because it's a good tool to check the state of the game. Every caster on the planet uses this. Other analysis also includes matchup discussions, potential item paths, use of rune choices, win conditions, ...
Read moreHuh, that's actually interesting. Does that mean that units get more scarce if more people pick them up like in Auto Chess?
Yup, pretty much the same. I think we're a little more limited then auto chess.
is this what youve been working on since you returned to riot?
just one of the things!
Im gonna assume that yordles will be goblins
You would assume wrong :P
Thanks for the fast answers. I'll def. stay in touch with you if it's ok. I'm very interested in that overall.
Please do
Did you guys invite card game guys like kibler?
We did! I do not know who I can mention, but I'm sure they'll make videos and stuff and that's important :)
Does that mean ranked is only solo queue?
You will not be able to do ranked with 7 friends, there is potential for you to queue with a friend or two but not a full party.
Also bring back the Wight. https://imgur.com/a/qwe3tak rito pls
God that thing looks OLD lol
Riot thought "Hey, if we make a mode with no teammates, /u/Garzek can't be toxic to his teammates."
Joke's on you Riot, I've always flamed me the hardest.
Can relate..
How do I goblin/mech rush in this version?

What is the most "balanced" game?
A) One where all champions are at 50% winrate but "feel" poorly tuned.
B) One where certain champions are statistically too strong or too weak but "feel" balanced.
Clearly balance is more nuanced and complex than this, but the point I'm trying to make is that winrate isn't the only thing to consider. Things like perception of power and different levels of player skill take major parts in a how balanced a game feels.
I stand by the idea that NB started declining because of those awful arduous missions. NB's whole premise was being a short non-serious game mode that you would go play purely to have a little fun for a few minutes, when you didn't have enough time or patience for Summoner's Rift. But then you guys created those missions that required people to play it non-stop grinding and trying to reach those stupid requirements.
Also, the jungle in between the lanes wasn't a good idea. People enjoyed the fiesta of going in and out of each lane.
It was declining rapidly before the missions.
So the mode must be a top priority then huh?
yes
You all have PCs right?
You all have high end PCs right?
If it really takes off, would you guys go standalone or just incorporate into the LoL client? Either way super cool you're adding ranked, I play Auto Chess but it's been crashing a lot recently. If this game scratches the same itch, I'm converted instantly.
Plan right now is to keep it in the client and just invest more resources in making the client not sh*t
I said this on the other frontpage thread but I believe they cancelled nexus blitz for this regardless of data once they realized how big dota auto chess got. For how fast this is going up and how they are doubling down with ranked, they probably wanted only one new mode to be permanent and saw more of a future in this which is really sad for anyone who loved nexus blitz.
We decided to not make NB permanent because it wasn't popular enough. And it was consistently declining in popularity over time. I know that folks who love NB will always find that explanation hard to swallow, but it's the truth. And the Reddit theory will always be that we gave up on it too early, but all of the data we were seeing globally convinced us that it wasn't going to be a successful longterm investment.
Even if NB had blown up and become a huge success, we'd probably still have made TFT. They're totally different modes with different audiences. NB = fast-paced and more casual compared to SR. TFT has nothing to do with SR and is super deep and slow-paced.
