Thanks for these stats and your responses in general. I really appreciate the stats and your comments are helping me understand where you’re coming from with the balance decisions.
Now if you could just get me in touch with someone to pitch my Babe Ruth Bard skin “The Great Bardino”, then I’d happily retract all complaints I have with Riot Games
As a Yankees fan I support this.
I had such a great time talking to Dan who I'm very close to and felt very comfortable sharing some stories I've never shared on camera before.
What I’m concerned with is that these champs are being tuned to be balanced to where chemtank is necessary for them to function and building any other item is putting them at a severe disadvantage. Granted I have no idea what the stats for these champs look like when they build other mythics so I might be completely off the mark.
Udyr's win rate with various Mythics:
| Turbo Chemtank | 55.4% |
|---|---|
| Stridebreaker | 54.5% |
| Trinity Force | 54% |
| Sunfire Aegis | 51.1% |
| Frostfire Gauntlet | 55.5% |
| Divine Sunderer | 55.6% |
Sample size isn't consistent for each option though - the last two in particular are purchased much less frequently.
Rammus's other options are comparable to Chemtank (but it is the best option by general win rate).
Skarner's best option is Chemtank by far.
Not everything interacts with the system in the same way.
I had such a blast talking to Dan, and covering some topics I've not talked about on any interviews previously.
We examined item data before deciding to nerf these guys, since our team also put forth a similar hypothesis (that Chemtank was the problem). After a closer look, we concluded Chemtank was balanced for the rest of the roster, and these junglers were actually major outliers in terms of power level.
Looks real bad, but I thought the whole thing about these models are that they are not supposed to be looked at from this perspective
This is exactly right. That being said you can definitely see a clear difference between older champs like Wu here and newer champions like Samira.
The underlying foundation for some champions need updating, which we often see in VGUs.
But yeah, ultimately these models are made to be viewed from up high above the rift, not at dating distance. ;)
bad video, not enough speedcubing
you made me panic thinking i uploaded it to my 10+ y/o speedcubing channel ngl
So how old IS Quickshot?
he would prefer we ask how wise he is
Just a quick question.
Did you mention rekkles and twitter in the hopes of getting him to retweet the clip because he has 10 times the followers and is actually verified?
If yes, thats actually pretty smart. Good job.
no but if he does i will edit my answer to look like a genius
Just wanted to comment that the man in the thumbnail looks strikingly like Jim and Gabe from the office blended together with photoshop
WAIT THATS ME
Looks like what /u/CodeofBear said would be the truth here. So no need to do placements. I would still do them, just to be sure.
You don’t need to do placements if you were ranked in 2020. Can confirm.
