This ranged/melee lever would favor ranged champs over melee champs, I assume (and hope)?
yep lol

This is very understandable looking at it from a long term point of view. I am just desperate to not have the first counterplay I get in years to consistent problem champions ruined, but it seems like it's not even a huge issue - most replies from people who play the champions like Kat, LeBlanc etc. have mentioned for them it's not worth the damage tradeoff.
it's a pretty bad item on them. The only assassin it's good on is kassadin
The proposed change is a pretty suboptimal anti-pattern to put on an item. Players shouldn't be having to worry about using their kit interacting poorly with an item in very unintuitive ways.
The only champion that is building Crown optimally that I wouldn't prefer to balance around is Kassadin. Champions like Sylas and Lillia have some reasonable choice points against other mythics with Crown.
I didn't want to put a melee/ranged lever on the AP/Damage Reduction CD before ship, but will do so long term if necessary.
This is freaking insane! Awesome job :)
I wish the effects were more darkin like. More red and less purple. And also i couldn't see the rain effect on Project's E. Is it still there?
Yes, I haven't touched Project much. The rain is still there. Likely got compressed by my recording and YouTube. :(
i loved this VFX update
Thanks! Glad you liked it. :)
The VFX update looks amazing but I was wondering if there can be a VFX for blight being proc'd like an explosion or a sound knowing it got proc'd. It would mega satisfying for the player and it would be so nice since proccing blight right now feels like I do nothing to the enemy, especially in team fights when both the enemy and player can't tell
There is an effect! I tried to keep it at the same level as before the update, so it still won't be a huge explosion. But it should at least be noticeable. :)
Read moreHi! First of all, thank you SO MUCH for the VFX update! I'm so happy that Varus was the next one on the list, he really needed an update and you did an outstanding job!
In case of his base skin, I REALLY love that you tinted the colors towards purple, some people like reds more but I think purple-ish tones fit Varus better and make the abilities far more pleasing to look at. I love how his Q now looks as powerful as in his recent skins, and E looks soo much smoother!
The one thing I wanted to ask - I wondered if it's possible to change the W blight stacks? Or at least slown down their animation a bit! The major problem for me in his old VFX was that his base blight stacks felt really distracting with how fast the tendrils moved. It could be just me though, I prefer when the marks are more simplified (Arclight, Cosmic, even something similar to Evelynn's Q mark!)
And for some R feedback:
- I'd add a fade-out effect to the "binding" VFX that appears ar...
Thanks for the detailed feedback! I'll see what I can do. I'll very likely tweak the Heartseeker E AOE.
I know this is varus and stuff but
Does Riot team have any other champs in mind to polish up?
Maybe skarner? please?
I can't say anything precise but we still have plenty in mind for VFX Updates~
God bless you sir, but I have literally been playing for over a decade and never passed Silver 1. Thanks for the vote of confidence though.
2022 is your year
Oh wow, I never use reddit, but I needed to comment here.
Varus has been my main since day 1 & and you are definitely my favorite VFX artist in Riot, so I just wanted to say how happy and thankful I am for this (Hopefully he'll get an adequate VO soon, but I know that has nothing to do with you).I do have a small feedback I'd like to mention.
From what I see in the video, Darkstar Varus' E now leaves arrows in the ground, which is a bit strange considering he doesn't actually fire arrows, but rather some kind of comets. Maybe craters or something would be better, or just... removing the arrows.
Also, in the Arctic Ops one, I always liked that his Q looked more like and actual, physical arrow rather than a pure energy one, since it seems to fit the skin better. Anyway, I understand if it's easier to just change that.Sorry for nitpicking, and thanks again. A lot.
Aaah good catch for Dark Star! I'll fix that right up. :D
I'm not sure I'll be able to adjust Arctic Ops based on your feedback, but I'll have a look. :)
Glad you like the changes!
And you wish you could win a single game in said low elo tournaments
Naw, I'm sure /u/umbrianEpoch is too highly-rated to even apply.
Yo love seeing you bring up numbers
Are these type of data sets publicly available? I might play around with some python and do some data science for fun
Does data like this exist for seasons further back? I’ve been consistently platinum and above since season 1, and I feel like since the big rank shift that game quality in platinum has declined as far as what used to be gold in previous seasons, or is that just bias from my end
Not that I can find instantly. I just occasionally update a google sheet.
I love it! It looks so cool now! I think he really needed it.
Feedback:
On Base, Blight Crystal and Arclight, the ultimate has an indicator on the ground that clarifies the hitbox, but on all subsequent skins it's missing. I think it helps a lot clarity-wise, so it'd be better if it stayed on all skins (with some minor coloring for each).
On Dark Star and Infernal, the circle that appears around the enemy after hitting the ult is just the old yellow-ish circle, while all other skins use the new, prettier one.
On Project, the hitbox ground indicator for the Q arrow is there, but I feel like it could be a bit brighter to be seen in gameplay.
That's all! Thanks for reading!
Thanks for the feedback! I'll see what I can do. :)
BOLD WORDS FROM SOMEONE WHO SPENT MOST THE GAME DYING OR FLAMING HIS BOT IN ALL CHAT
(I'm messing with you btw. Your bot did legit suck)
BOLD WORDS FROM SOMEONE WHOS ONLY CLAIM TO FAME IS WINNING A SINGLE SOLO QUEUE GAME OVER A WASHED-UP HAS-BEEN
Varus is really special to me as he's always been part of my gay journey, thank you so much for showing him love. I adore all these effects, especially Arclight <3
Thank you! Really happy you enjoy it! :D
Bruh my plat 4 ass out jungled you on your stream and you tilted off the face of the earth
Sorry, this text is so small, I can't see it all the way down in platinum. Could you speak up?
I just gotta say you made my year?? I just, have so much love for this character and seeing him get something here and there just fills my heart with such joy, Its crazy
Really glad you like the update! :)
