if diamond is a smaller percent of players, wouldn't that make the climb harder since it's more exclusive?
Correct. The first replies were all about Diamond and Master+ growing this season, making the climb less exclusive. Master+ did indeed grow from .05% -> .1% -> .15%, but that feels reasonable with the inclusion of GM.
Diamond+ as an overall bracket shrunk. Hence me mocking those who just decided out of thin air that D+ grew.
Oh my life, these new VFX look beyond beautiful! As a Varus player I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the effort you put for all of us. Bless your heart!
Aaah thank you so much! Really glad you enjoy the update!
Ahhh looks so good!! Great job like always ^^
only thing i noticed is that the arrows during the flight of his E looks like they're twitching? Not 100% sure if that's what it usually looks like as i don't play Varus much, just a thought.
Miss u on socials! Hope ur doing better :)
Thanks! :)
I sadly don't have a way of smoothing those. They're all individual missiles, and I don't really have access to their behavior.
Read moreReeeeally amazing work, as always! I've been a Varus Main since I started playing League (In fact, I actually found League after finding a picture of the Heartseeker Varus splash while searching for cupid references LOL).
I have a few very minor suggestions, most of which I see already covered, like Conqueror Varus's R being recolored to be more red/gold than red/purple. A big, big thing that would be a huge quality of life for Varus would be if when casting his ult, the tendrils that come out to root nearby enemies were slowed down a little bit to better match the actual time it takes to root nearby enemies. As of now, the tendrils get on top of people and kinda sit there for a minute before the root takes effect, and I'd love to see the root pop immediately when the tendrils snare them!
Another super small thing, for Heartseeker Varus, could you maybe add a more pinkish ring around the area his E is affecting? I see the roses and everything but it has a small grey...
Thanks for the detailed feedback! <3
I'll see what I can do!
I 100% agree Ivern probably shouldn't get full Krugs value due to the nature of the way he clears camps! And I also agree that getting full "normal camp" rewards on Krugs would be quite neat!
At the moment I feel myself always gravitating towards the lanes around my blue side jungle since that is the area where I can get the most gold and XP due to the Krugs "nerfs".
Being able to farm Krugs with "normal camp" gold and XP value would be very nice and make it easier to play around both sides of the map since you would get "equal" gold and XP from both sides (slightly more on blue side due to Gromp of course).
Also I really appreciate that you took the time to respond even if nothing comes from this. I get that balancing a low population with a high % of OTP/Mains can be rather difficult, that being said I also really enjoy hearing you guys' opinions on balancing. You, Enso and Squad5 (and Kindlejack for lore) are all amazing at keeping in touch with the commu...
I think when Riot says "OK we're going to design a unique champion" they sign up for the maintenance cost knowing that it's going to exist.
I think it's OK if champions end up having funky strengths and weaknesses as a result of that uniqueness as long as the champion remains balanced and fun for its intended player base. For example, I think it's conceptually fine that Ivern gets skewed jungle rewards (e.g. always more gold or less xp or a healthier or weaker clear). However, it's currently not worth pathing to part of the map and that feels like a cardinal sin for a jungle champion.
As someone who strictly uses Heartseeker on Varus, thank you! Looks simply magical 💖🌹
Thanks! <3
Looks sick and Varus was long overdue for a VFX update. Most of these look super great though im not fond of mini arrows on E but i suppose its fine. I would also like if you recolored R VFX to red on Conqueror skin (the spread range indicator).
Thanks! Yup, I'll recolor the R circle on Conqueror. I realized I missed it while recording. :)
That might also be because diamond is almost top 3% this season and not only top 1% like before :D
maybe has to do with removed promos and with how the population of both low diamond and masters has giga inflated this season
wouldn't there be a way to put a mark like kaisa or vayne so that the passive one has a clearer view? these orbs are very confusing
I'd also love a simpler way to view these marks, but it might be too drastic of a change, and it would also require some refactoring.
Amazing changes
Would it be possible for the Q indicator to be updated and look like the one on Wild Rift (it works similar to pyke Q) or is that out of range of VFX updates
Thanks! Sadly, as much as I would absolutely love that, I am not able to make that change happen, as it is outside the scope of these updates. :(
The visuals look amazing love to see him get some love :) I just think his colors looking more like aatrox and rhaast to give the darkin some continuity would be nice 😊
Very glad to read that. :)
It looks awesome. Very well done!
Thank you!
This is @dirtyvarus in tweeter I feel like I'm in a dream 😭 😭 😭
Haha well I'm very glad to hear you enjoy the update! :D
YOU CRAZY MAN YOU DID IT I LOVE YOU MUCH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Hahaha hope you like the update!
Looks great but I think the pink should be more red to make it less like the power of the void? Cuz I thought he was darkin?
Yes, he's Darkin. I can have a quick look at that. I went off the colors from his model, and especially his bow.
Thank you so much for this, it is good to see him getting some love.
Glad to hear this!
Amazing changes, nothing more to say hope you are feeling great Sirhaian UwU
Thank you! <3
And yes, I'm great, thanks for asking! Stepping away from Socials helped a ton. :)
As a Varus main I'm overjoyed to see him getting some love! I know alot of people on the Varus mains subreddit really wanted some chromas for Blight Crystal so maybe we can see that happen?
Glad you like it! Sadly I am only able to change the VFXs, and have no say in chromas. :(
i think the model needs some attention too
Sadly I am only able to update his VFXs. :(
I do personally hope he someday receives some model love too. <3
