This graph is why Riot isn't "lazy" for focusing less on other game modes. At the end of the day, we want to make things a ton of you enjoy for long periods of time. I worked on Nexus Blitz. I wanted it to succeed as much as the next person. Players voted with their time. People just don't play the vast majority of alternate modes for more than a weekend.

Yeah, I'm gonna take my Hec to the bot town road

Gonna gank 'til I can't no more

"Boring" and "Unattractive" are not great places to start a champion pitch. Even niche champions aren't targeted to be boring and unattractive. When we make them that way they tend to be played by no one (so they're not even niche). Every champ needs to have something appealing that a player can latch onto. This DOES NOT mean that they have to be attractive or badass.

Bard is a weird whimsical spirit. Kled is a deranged hillbilly cavalier. Urgot is a horrific monster mech. These champions have niche appeal not because they are boring and unattractive, but because they are all strongly appealing in their own ways to a niche audience.

Every. Single. Year.

Given dominion's playrates, it was not what made League the game most people love.

Nami's new skin has feet. Problem solved

Nah man we need triple swords. One Piece knows what's up.

Well the problem is all Gnar keystones are troll because you picked Gnar

VFX showing on baron in fog is almost always a bug unless it's something like Jhin W (which reveals itself to everyone who could conceivably be within range).

Worth noting that spectator mode specifically has A LOT of vfx in fog bugs that don't extend into the actual game.

It's intended you can see Vi E if you're close enough to the blast radius.

ha aha just kidding..

Unless?..

I’ve always been against lowering Vi’s R cost. The intent behind the increase per level is to keep her mana costs scaling throughout the game since one of her spells is a pure passive.

Maybe that’s just a dated way of thinking about things tho...we don’t really give most champions (especially melee) real mana costs in the late game as there are other better ways to limit them at that point (CD’s and kit based weaknesses for example).

Waaaaaaaaay more people play TFT (and continue to do so)

Man I wish all this reddit hype about alternate game modes translated into people actually playing them as much as TFT.

????????

I remember D:

That's base jinx too :3

I'm in shock
