PBE is not for balance since there's no matchmaking on PBE.

Yup, for some reason any turret, minion, monster, champion can apply the Elder BURN buff to yourself when they attack you while invulnerable while holding the buff yourself. This buff will trigger the Elder Spell onto yourself if you're low enough, but the spell has a check at some point that prevents it from killing off a friendly target. Or self, dunno.

However the BURN DOT itself does 25 damage to you when you're no longer invulnerable, and that can even kill you, much like the Caitlyn Empowered Headshot/Energized thing a few months ago! I believe u/vandirilol has footage to do a video about this current case once he's no longer on holidays.

So while the spectacle of Elder's Spell executing oneself is prevented, applying the Elder burn to oneself still damages you and shouldn't be ha...

I'm NOW aware of it, thanks to you! Cheers for this. 😊

Kinda standard to put it around walls like that because you can't see it as an enemy. Nonetheless basic, it was a clean play.

Just being nice and positive, mate.

August, if a pro team exploited the bug what would happen?

One of the reasons Nunu isn't disabled is that we don't think the bug is exploitable. It's extremely rare and (as far as we know) almost impossible to do intentionally. Might not even be a Nunu bug, could be something messed up in the code with channels that let you keep moving (have heard stories of it happening with Vi and Pyke for example). Not as easy as it looks to just fix on Monday ;(

Considering it's easily reproduced, if they ever used it I'm pretty sure they'd get DQ'd for exploiting a bug..

If you seriously have an EASY repro for this bug please send it my way. The reason it's hard to fix is that we've found it impossible to repro reliably

Several people already made that joke. 🙃

We need the Riot video team to put the key-press graphics over this one to really break it down for us.

Isn't the range too small for Ryze now?

It's good vs lots of divers/close range champion. The aura range is half the range of his E/W though, so you do really need to have a brawly opposing team for it to work.

I'd still prefer RoA in most cases, but if I am vs double or triple AP Abyssals aura isn't even the most powerful thing, it's the MR in a slot that still gives you respectable damage

My intention isn't to sit at low elo and smurf. I wanted a new account so I could reset and climb with friends. My question is why you ignore the normal mmr system on low level accounts, and instead throw a blanket "smurf" tag on ALL of the accounts. Every game has people from literally gold up to challenger. That seems ridiculous, no?

They're on their way up, too. They just need to smash you in your game then they'll jump 200 MMR and face plays etc.

How do you know they're challenger, btw?

Comment

Wait... You're smurfing and are complaining that the game has identified you as such and now you need to play against other Smurfs?

This is an interesting one!

Comment

Clean. The trap Jhin stepped on was great forsight.

Ignore the virgins lol. While I'm not personally a fan of editing photos, it looks good and anime-ish, which is an interesting style.

I think even with the editing it's a good cosplay /shrug

Ha! I knew this clip would happen one day!

I'm damn good at learning things game related. I just needed to watch a quick game leap ADC tip video and bam I'm feeling good about this. My goal is to hit challenger in one month and grand master in overwatch in a month. Alot of people are saying buy a rank 30 account but in dota that shit is a no no. Is buying accounts okay in league or something?

Is buying accounts okay in league or something?

No. :P And my comment was assuming you had a level 30 account. I think it would be impossible without one.

(As a player, not a staff member)

I think it's really unlikely unless you absorb information like a sponge. There are some things that transfer over from DoTA and others that don't.

I play this game a lot - 5-6 hours a day on weekdays after work is not uncommon. Lack of time investment is not what keeps me from climbing to the upper echelons of ranked (high diamond+), but the fact that I don't learn from my mistakes/absorb information enough and am able to turn that information into better plays. That's not to say that you will have the same experience I do, but I imagine my experience is quite common.

I think it's a really tough ask to be able to reach top 500 of a given server (unless you play on a really unpopulated server) just due to your past experience in other games unless you're able to learn the meta and strategy of league really quickly and adapt to your mistakes, bearing in mind you'll be competing with people who likely play League as a job.

What brand new art? The map variants are basically the same as the old map with very slight variations. You spent months adding a few brushes and walls? If 10 artists aren't enough, why not pull some artist who undoubtedly do nothing out of those 2,500+ employees, or even outsource the art like you did an entire game.

If you wanted to, you'd have done it, but I guess Christmas isn't a priority for Tencent and the Chinese market.

You clearly know nothing about game development. To be honest your post is a little bit embarrassing.

Understandable, they did a great job with the map, every dragon feels like it has a powerful impact on the game.

That being said, I hope you bring it back next year!

I'm sure we will!

What a sad excuse, they could just make it so you can toggle it on and off like every other event, if you want to get used to the drakes.

We made brand new art for 4 elemental terrain types with less than 10 artists in a few months. There was no time for a snowy version of each one for snowdown.
