This breath of human experience
is that a typo and supposed to be "breadth"?
f*ck
Don't you also have a placeholder splashart or something like that that one of you just draws quickly and is often a masterpiece?
Omg thank you! Yes, I've got the Deathly Hallows symbol, Flash symbol and the triquetra from Charmed on my arm 😊
Very cool! I have Morrowind's logo on my back, the grand soul gem from skyrim, neekos flower, and a pokemon tattoo! I'm actually at the point where I want more tattoos but am almost lacking games I feel that level of dedication for 😂 what's your ign BTW? I'd love to give you some RP!
gotcha, runaan's rush vex it is
You heard it here first.
and probably last.
It's easy to see that champ designers deliberately went with dashes as opposed to including blinks as well.
If possible, I'd love to understand the considerations/implications that would occur if Vex's kit also included blinks. Was it ever on the table? How did internal testing go?
Totally understandable if you can't reply here, but I'm sure alot of us would appreciate it if this facet of the design process was included in an edition of champion insights.
Thanks!
It does apply on blinks, actually. Sorry for that confusion.
Ok who is the genious that added the All Time Low reference with the "Dear Vex Count me in"?
;)
‘Can you make a MOBA champ that doesn’t want to be a MOBA champ?’
they underestimate the number of MOBA players who don't want to be MOBA players
I'm in this comment and I like it
wait we had the option for ghost sharks and it didnt happen? wth man
They exist in Legends of Runeterra!
Shipping range extension in League would have given Vandiril so much content.
Fun fact: We also briefly experimented with the inverse, where portals slowed down incoming enemy missiles to a crawl. Walking around a slow motion Ashe arrow or Miss Fortune ult was really cool, but had its own host of technical challenges.
/u/Reav3 are you able to share Vex's placeholder name and model
It was "Shadow Yordle", and Lutz started with Little Demon Tristana as her temp model
Nah, but nice champ insight. She actually looks really cool!
Thanks! Her team did an amazing job on her. They made my job much easier
Excited to see all the reactions to Vex (teh Yordle of d0oM)!
Hopefully you guys all enjoy how fed up she is with dashes when she hits PBE tomorrow. We spent a lot of time trying to find the sweetspot for her anti-dash gameplay. Compared to other standard mages, she should feel more empowered in-lane against dashy champs, but doesn't automatically smash the matchup. She's a bit disfavored in range v range, but still has the tools to compete and apply Gloom with E.
I wonder if Gloom has a per-champion cooldown, or your low-CD dash champs will have to live with getting marked constantly.
It's the latter, but you do need to get a hit in between each dash.
Keep in mind proccing Gloom is only a CD reduction on Doom (the fear). It seems extremely unlikely for it to be a complete reset, and stands to be that you might need 2 Gloom at least to reset Doom.
Champions refund 25%, minions refund 10% (obviously these are both tuning values so could change)
The mobility creep would be far less obscene if you could have more chances to play / draft around it, Dota style. Grounded & anti shield are both mechanics I've long thought Riot should carefully expand.
Grounded would need some major clarity concerns addressed before I'd be happy to push it any further.
Before we get bummed out by her gloomy vibes, let’s start with her origins. Vex’s gameplay development goal was to create a anti-mobility mage. Someone who fits the “let’s-make-this-Yasuo-playing-fool’s-life-miserable” playstyle. Someone gloomy.
Stop or they'll catch on and you'll put me out of a job.
I love the my chemical romance reference. as a scene kid in high school in the mid to late 2000's I appreciate it lmao.
I gocchu
Edit: each champ insights I write I make a playlist for inspiration. For Vex's a dedicated group of former (also current) emo kids at Riot helped me source songs. The result is 6.5 hours of jams from our middle school years.
Why do you think it resulted in more comebacks? Surely it makes the game more snowbally, as being ahead gives you a larger advantage (hence the faster winning ofc), which to me sounds like it should decrease the number of comebacks. And once you've equalised gold diff so you're the ones getting minion buffs, at that point you've already come back anyway, shouldn't be affected by the enemy team having had better minions, right?
It is a cool feature though
It moves the minion wave towards the losing team's base, which provides more opportunities for the winning team to actually crack the base, but also means the losing team on average doesn't have to move as far out of safety to get gold, and attempting to crack the base means taking a risk.
The idea was pretty good but I think not tweaking it for years made it a bit less optimal over time.
Also a problem that sadly wasn't solved over years is the minion clash timing in side vs mid lane making mid lane just way more important on top of being the most important already. It also makes mid lane roaming way more easily compared to side lane roaming.

Agree that it has likely degraded over time.
