I deciphered the math behind Omnistone

Oh sry, not to mislead. the smart logic section is not accurate to how that works, at least not literally. omnistone in general builds a table of all keystones it can grant, then rolls that table and removes the selected keystone. if the table has fewer than X entries, it refills the table.

Smart logic runs before rolling the table, and checks to see a variety of ideal situations in a specific order. if any ideal situation is found, it rolls a chance to grant the relevant keystone (chance* is higher if the keystone is not currently removed from the table). If that roll succeeds, it selects that keystone, removes it from the table, and stops searching subsequent situations. If nothing is found, it goes through and does the normal roll of the table

*Chance here is usually something like 15%||8%, but different situations can define how that is chosen (ie: glacial chance is significantly higher if you have a glacial item off CD)

off the top of my head, it looks pretty accurate to me

for the most part, all scaling is relative to the damage per dark harvest soul (ie: you'll get less on ARAM where souls are worth 3 damage)

Huh. I thought I made it scale predator mspd. Thinking back I'm pretty sure I just misremembered though, since the starting point was any damaging keystone should also do one souls' worth of extra damage (5)

Making me wonder if something in pta is scripted wrong now

Wtf, League players?! This is simply unacceptable! That Surfer Singed skin isn't going to buy itself, is it.

Time to step up and CONSUME.

if only alcoves flamed you if you didn't have a new skin, and surfer singed gained a surfing bonus from ocean terrain. THINK ROVIENT THINK, how did we miss these opportunities.

Someone's got to pay for my ramen habit.

How to go pro starting from 0?

  1. Practice every champion and mechanic that you're interested in in the practice tool (it's 1v0 mode, kinda like sv_cheats 1)

  2. Learn core game concepts from Unsw Lolsoc YT channel https://www.youtube.com/user/unswlolsoc, it's the bible of learning league and for certain will set you on path to hit diamond/masters/challenger.

  3. Make friends with LoL pros, semi-pros and high elo players. You need to know people who can lift you upwards, it's insanely important both for rapidly improving at t...

that was a wip in dev effect from months ago

Why did you guys make the execute effect into a projectile rather than making it so that if champion A has the Elder buff and apply damage to a enemy B then enemy B gets a debuff which kills him if they are below 10% hp?

thats exactly how it works, but with the added step of firing a projectile because that looks good.

This is a really tricky one. Part of me thinks this is really unfair for braum, since he's essentially sacrificing himself to save a teammate. But on the other hand that sacrifice could be game winning if he protected the ADC long enough for her to cleanup. I'm not talking about this clip, but in general. Tricky to know the correct path on this one.

Edit: got the answer on this: Braum should not intercept the execute attack.

think elder execute should probably not be a blockable projectile. it reads more like a laser beam and it doesn't have a meaningful cooldown, so it's pretty unlikely this is desired since I think even just the elder DoT will re-trigger it.

I shipped the braum urgot interaction because I felt that a significant amount of times it would be correct for braum to sacrifice himself to Urgot R since that spell DOES have a meaningful cooldown, but we decided against that shortly after ship.

Why Summon Aery can proc elder dragon's burn and vice versa

Comment

Originally posted by Rovient

Aery being triggers is correct. Happy with that. It's that Aery damage applies the elder burn that's the issue. We're going to make it to that no "proc" damage or effects can apply elder burn anymore.

Small Nerf but important to keep it consistent.

Believe all I submitted for 10.1 was a special case excluding aery from triggering elder. Technically however aery triggering elder triggering aery is correct behavior though as aery and elder both state they trigger on "damage", and both deal damage. Other situations clarify damage types more strictly to avoid this (ie: believe liandries states "damaging spells")

We should talk about that when we get back

One of the players I tested with had an idea for a definite fix - global reveal of Nunu right at the start of game, just for a brief moment and the bug can't be reproduced

You hear that August, I expect it fixed by Monday.

End me. Pls.

Have you considered spawning a minion ever frame on nunu and checking visibility, then stapling a vision bubble into nunu if it's visible. Of course we need to kill the minion as well after this. I'm sure engineering will love us for this.

Sorry to be in the train of bothersome individuals, but any idea if and when the ekko nerfs will occur? As a main his current high pick and ban rate is frustrating to work around, but i know he feels a little overpowered currently; is reverting the pre-worlds cd reductions on the table?

hes within reasonable bounds atm, so unlikely. we try not to nerf champs just because they are popular if we think they are popular because they are fun (vs popular because they are just OP).

hes at the max predicted reasonable winrate on this day based on our release estimates, and his ban rate is extremely high. We expect him to continue to climb in winrate and banrate, so he'd be literally unplayable (banned) soon unless we act.

I know I'm spinning into another topic but does Riot have any good metrics on Jayce?

Lolaytics shows he is sat on a 46% winrate with a whopping 50% winrate as a otp.

I honestly thought preseason would buff him but it seems to have done the opposite?

Is any work planned for him?

Also if you want a laugh look at the Jayce mains sub reddit!

yeah we are looking at buffing him
