I wouldn't let that discourage you. If you enjoyed Diablo 2, then PoE is the spiritual successor to it and it would be a disservice to yourself to not try it. I would echo what u/Laue said and follow a build guide. Follow guides and try to find what play style you like the most. There's so much build variety that it's a truly creative experience. This update is introducing a large component to increase build creativity/variety.

I played a bit of Diablo 3, but honestly stopped playing it because it's not a fun game for me when single player and I didn't know anyone who actually played it this side of the Atlantic

Its pretty fun anyway

I just can't do that :( I'm the kind of person who minmaxes. When I was playing WoW, I would play specs that were mathematically the best even if I didn't enjoy them.

One of the reasons I don't play WoW now is because Sub rogue is bad in PvE, even if I enjoy it; I hate feeling like a burden for the people I am playing with.

Does that mean you're not buff af?

I'm not, but there are plenty of security folks in my team who are swole.

I'm just your garden variety 7/10 previously skinny nerd who now has puppy fat from too much pizza.

There is delicious irony in seeing a Rioter discouraged by a burden of knowledge barrier to entry in another game...

Eh, I've played League since season 2, so you can understand why my viewpoint might be distorted :)

From my perspective it's much easier to get into LoL than it is PoE, but that's mostly b/c the first thing I do when I look at any game like PoE is look at the talent tree and PoE's talent system is kinda insane.

Leagues barrier to entry isn't as high as it used to be, but I agree it, like PoE, are not the most approachable games for someone completely green to the genre. There's also something to be said for age.. When I started playing League, I was 17, I was still in school and I could literally play nothing but games from sunrise til sundown.

These days I have much less tolerance for grinding or for high barriers to entry, so while I am now onboarded onto League, I don't think I could personally do that again for a different game

Anything on the planned Nasus buffs in 10.7? I'm afraid that they may go to far and make him P/B which I hope doesnt happen. :c

Something experimental we're going to try is giving other abilities beyond Q scaling based off his Q stacks. No guarantees that works out though, so might just fall back on simple ability/stat number buffs.

So when this used to be on the boards, Meddler would usually be responding to people with questions/feedback down in the comments - is that practice still going to be continued and if so, where?

Regardless, love these as always. Been reading them since they first came out and I think people don't appreciate enough the lengths to which Riot goes to keep players in the loop.

My current plan is spend time both here and on Twitter. If conversation mainly congregates in one place I'll just focus there.

We know they’re not to everyone’s tastes and aren’t trying to make it so they are. Our goal is to serve players who are interested in them while making it easy to opt out for those who don’t want to deal with them.

Some champions still need better Eternals though... how does Jhin’s “Hit champions with max damage Q” or Shen’s “Time enemies slowed by Q” hold a candle to Aurelion Sol’s “Hit a Q” or “Use your passive”?

Agreed, some of the designs are more engaging for players of that champ than others. Assuming we do another series at some point we'd want to gather a lot of feedback on which of the current ones are liked/disliked, what particular champion communities want etc.

Whats the reason behind increasing kindred's r heal?

Heal relevance is on the low side. We'd like it to be something you do think about a bit more and want to buff Kindred a bit in general so it's a reasonable target as a result.

When you created the balance framework youre using, did you do so without consulting any data scientists or statisticians?

We've got data analysts who contributed to the building of that balance framework, some of them on the SR (balance etc) team itself, some from other teams offering feedback and support.

Ensuring borders from TFT aren’t showing up in any SR queues and vice versa etc.

Finally!

Also a disclaimer here - if you do see them showing up in the future when they didn't previously that's us goofing (a bug). Mentioning since that's happened once before causing some confusion and annoyance.

Make Eternals on Death Recap disabled permanently. There's no reason to make people click N every time.

Also make it so there is just a "Self" option instead of just "Self and Team"

Also the death Recap was still bugged after the hotfix supposedly came out, so it's not even working right anyway.

Noted. Will discuss that along with other potential adjustments when we do that Eternals so far review shortly.

Well of course, Path of Exile will release their new league.

I've been tempted to try that, but the barrier to entry seems really high in terms of gameplay complexity

EDIT: It never ceases to amaze me how welcoming the League community can be sometimes, especially with new games. Thank you to all the respondents! I'm passing these resources onto other Rioters that may be interested in getting into PoE.

I don't know! Sorry, I work on the security team. I commented on this thread because it's the first I saw of the trailer (and promptly bricked my pants)

TPP Outlast

I don't know much about TPP Outlast, but my country feels like everyone is playing a game called "TP: Outlast" (thanks to COVID19)

Edit: Rioter correction*

Its not all fours. It's all sixes.

Riot have not mentioned soraka in any discussions at all since the nerfs that were meant to be power neutral for support, but really had no direction and hit her overall, with top still being better.

Can soraka have rejuv duration back to 5s, it was a really random nerf that made no sense, making the supposed compensation on w for q healing going down completely useless

Now that Soraka top seems (fingers crossed) to have been addressed we're putting some power back into Soraka in 10.6. Targets there are Q heal and MS bonus both going up a bit, with the goal of getting her support impact somewhat higher.
