Appreciate the feedback here~ I can only speak directly for Lethality Assassins (as I work on that system), and we are planning iterations to address some of the damage creep for that class now that we've validated that all the items are effective and valuable. Looking to drop damage considerably between now and live launch, especially on the scaling side.
Oh
Did you fix it today or is it going live tonight? Legit question cause that happened yday night and i havent met any riven building sterak since then
I'm... Not sure. I think we did it Thursday last week.
Riven and the new sterak, have a look
This was a bug we've since fixed. Riven has like 15 stacks of sterak's here when it's meant to be capped at 5.
Lich Bane is absolutely intended.
They are normalizing its base AD scaling to akin other Spellblades and making so you never end up losing damage when upgrading it (for the odd situation where 50% of your AP isn't bigger than 25% of your base AD, aka as-first-item scenarios or as your only source of AP). But that can't exactly be done without fearing abominations such as pre-rework Lich Bane (50 flat + 75% AP) in the hands of old Kayle and Ahri.
So slower recharge time to justify its usual identity of a Sheen proc used for absolute burst instead of DPS.
Yup! And yes, amumu now stuns.
Man I read that title and got baited hard. f*cking love you Flowers.
yes
My pickems are fixed now, but it seems like I'm not getting the Poro Icon from hitting 66 points. Do you know if there's just a delay or is this a consequence of the first bug?
Likely just a delay yep. Sometimes the missions can take a while to update :)
Yeah for some reason I got the entire group stage incorrect, please correct mine so that it reflects the current results, thank you.
I, too, am a retroactive prophet in training.
they messed up the points... seems like they gave the points to the people who chose gen g
Looks like quite a few people are having errors in points reporting. We are investigating now!
** EDIT ** This should be fixed now. The points may still be re-calculating for some users, but it will all be updated within a few minutes

I think this would make a good copypasta 🤣
Yeah I have a bad habit of making those lol
He was efficient, smart and most importantly didn't try to save lost lanes
I agree, but I think this is more a testament to G2's superior map play rather than Jankos prowess on carry junglers.
sorry if the benchmark for playing well is landing all your spears
In the context of playing Nidalee, landing the spears for ganking is so important for her early game power.
I don't think game 1 that was a statement game from him on the champion, just for G2's macro decision making.
I think that's fair, and maybe I was too positive. I guess I felt the bigger picture for jankos of praising him was more important, but I should've added the caveat that he is missing his sh*t. More of a balance I think is fair feedback
listen, Vedi, I can understand the argument that G2 doesn't do a good job playing around jankos on carry junglers. I also think there's some truth to out.
But this game was just jankos missing his shit. Really unfortunate time to bring it up, tbh.
He missed spears but he played well. He was efficient, smart and most importantly didn't try to safe lost lanes, which he kept doing in groups and it cost him a lot. I think he played well, sorry if the bench mark for playing well is landing all your spears.
My fiance thinks im childish cause a 29yo shouldn't watch someone play vidoegames
While everyone is always entitled to their opinion, one would hope that a fiancé would take the time to try and understand the hobbies of their partner before labeling it.
Some of my wife’s hobbies may not resonate with me, but as long as they make her happy and aren’t destructive to herself or others, live and let live, no? :)
Super thoughtful and extensive write up.
Sorry for the spam. I guess to summarize my feelings on the matter (and those that I have seen from others who I speak to), it feels like the jungle item changes were a secondary biproduct / necessary evil in order to implement mythic items, rather than a first-order desired change in and of itself. i.e. that jungle items had to be removed because otherwise junglers would be screwed by missing out on first item mythics like everyone else, rather than jungle items being removed because they actually were problematic.
They weren't stellar and exciting design anyways. They were functional but not optimal, ya feel?
Thanks. Can you comment on motivations for smite delay and removing cheap 1-item spikes? Was some part of the gameplay unhealthy, or..?
Items were to open up junglers to the rest of the item system and actually allow them to engage in choice and not just statsticks. Its just more interesting to choose cool items than get stuck building warrior every game first.
For smite, it's all about ceremonializing the event and actually letting you invest in stuff you care about. Frankly people don't really like spending money to upgrade smite a lot of the time and now they get this cool way to get it rather than spending cash that could be longswords on smite. It also adds texture to the jungle as there's some small goal to move forward to in-game
Have there been any internal discussions on jungle item changes? The following feels pretty bad:
- No machete hurts champions like Kindred and Twitch’s single target clear speed by a large large margin.
- Automatic smite upgrade is now time gated, whereas before, it was common for specific champions to buy the smite upgrade after their first back for increased invade/skirmish/gank power. These champions now have to wait until the 5 smite mark.
- No more jungle-exclusive 1-item power spike. Junglers used to be able to build a complete item before any laner realistically could (barring super cheap items). It was an amazing power spike considering the low cost. With this being gone, it feels pretty bad trying to get over that early hump to reach your mythic spike on some champions.
Haven’t heard anything about jungle items since the PBE release, so I’m just curious if anything further is planned/being discussed.
Still monitoring the machete junglers to see how they are. Smite delay and so on is intentional
