An oversight/bug for Vex's fearing abilities that u/xAsami brought up in r/vexmains:

Whenever Vex fears a champion or minion they no longer get slowed, instead they move away rather quickly, the passive says that depending on how far the champion or minion hit is the more/less they get slowed but it almost seems like they get a speed buff instead . (This is only on Vex I've tried every champion that has a fear but they don't bug out like this, atleast to my knowledge.)

How did Vex ultimate dash turned out in playtest?

Did it feel weird for a vulnerable mage to get in the middle of team fights with the second cast?

The second cast has so much damage so its inevitable that one has to use it

But like if you get into middle of team fights being a squishy mage, like suddenly from a ranged position to a melee position, isn't it awkward to position out of that chaos again, to move to a new place?

Like imagine dashing and then getting 1 shotted by the many assassin, skirmisher, junglers, irelia, darius and maybe even the enemy mage because you are throwing yourself into them and if you dont then you are not doing much damage? If lucky then you kill one and die or maybe kill two and die.
Doesn't feels very exciting

This is same type of weird awkwardness that Neeko's kit has. Range Q E and suddenly melee R. Maybe Vex will be a hit in Neeko playerbase but not in Lux, Sera's playerbase

4) Soraka: this was a big buff. We may need to pull back, probably on the R healing, but we're unlikely to revert the change; we think it was right for her (for now, at least).

5) Singed: this was a big buff. We’re okay with this for now, but we’d like to see more games with him to confirm.

This highlights just how huge GW is to the game - by not needing to build it, Singed is fast-tracked into bigger item-based powerspikes. By removing GW, even for a moment, Soraka's ability to influence a fight skyrockets.

I'd be really curious if the Gameplay Analysis Team has ever done a series of games where everyone has 40% GW by default for the whole game & see how it affects the game.

Can I ask what the reasoning was for making a change like this at all? Aren't animation cancels and other forms of mechanical skill expression intentionally put in? Way back I remember it was even a meme when riot would put "x change is to separate the great players from the good players" in the patch notes. Many champions have them from riven entire kit to proper orb walking on adc's or even flash kicks on Lee sin.

No graph needed, but I'm curious. What champion surprised you the most with how they trended?

The change wasn't to make this not happen, it was because you could animation cancel it anyways so they just made it so you always get that extra time.

This is a different issue that also needs to be solved, but the patch notes are pretty clear in what's up with the animation duration change.

I think she looks a little too close up in her champ icon. It doesn't look too bad, but her eyes get cut off when someone selects her and it just seems a little too big in general in the big list. https://imgur.com/a/wSLCreQ

First of all some explaining for people who don't know, there are 3 parts of Vex's passive "Gloom 'n Doom."

Gloom; the mark irrelevent.

Doom; Vex's next basic ability interrupts dashes and fears enemies.

Impending Doom; It's what "Doom" is called when on cooldown.

I was using practice tool trying out the new champion Vex, when I try out a new champion I always just go ham on dummies while having Auto-Refresh Cooldowns on, then I noticed something strange, all my abilities came of cooldown (CD), as you expect, Q, W, E, R and of course the passive yet her abilities didn't fear the dummies and Vex's basic ability icons weren't 'green.'

So I watched the replay, and according to the replay the abilities were concidered powered up from her passive, so the icons were green yet when Vex used her abilities they appeared purple.

Then I finally saw what caused it, "Impending Do...

question: where under the career options would we find playtest team? (like the first drop down with QA and Admin roles and stuff like that)

I recall Yone's designer talked about a spell he had that, in summary, gave Yone a free dash towards enemy champions after they used a dash. It stuck around in his development for a really long time before they canned it.

prowler's with a blink is the nightmare i never even knew i had

dunno if any of the team members are reading this, but if you are: what's the most design iterations you've gone through on something before finally just trashing the idea completely as unworkable?

Originally posted by Rexsaur

The fact that this was even considered in the first place speaks volumes.

Wtf are those designers thinking, then again looking at how most new champs turn out its not surprising.

Look out for jobs? So long as you have 3+ years spent on a AAA game and live in the most expensive area of California, right?
