I dunno about that. I can eat a pretty large lunch.

Someone's got to pay for my ramen habit.

We missed an obvious win with "Alcoves house a small gnome creature that praises you on your skin purchase, whilst flaming you for using defaults" feature.

Damnit.

You disappointed most of my League friendlist and me with your predatory business practices last year and overall decision making and content + the internal drama about the culture inside your company is not forgotten.

Step up your game and ethics and I am sure many of the long time players in their 20s+ will spend more money again. I very much enjoy League at its core, but compared to say 2017 I barely bought anything in 2019.

Even if you should not respond to this comment, take it to heart. You might be able to psychologically trick and prey on the younger audience, but that is not the way it should be done imo.

PS: You could obviously apply most of my points to Fortnite as well, but at least they offered massive content updates in 2018+2019 I guess. Still, Epic games is doing a poor job as well when it comes to the way they treat their players imo. At least their competitive audience. Which is not okay due to many reasons imo. Wait for their numbers after...

Hey there! Thanks for your comment. Obviously, my post was tongue in cheek, but it has prompted a more serious discussion on League's recent monetisation.

What aspects of our recent activity do you most feel are predatory? Very interested to get your input on this.

We're working hard to address the culture issues from what I can tell, but, being a straight, white male I was never part of the affected groups in the first place, so cannot really know what's changed for sure. I believe everything's moving in the right direction.

No one applied grievous wounds to Ivern.

Why's it always a Zac in these elder buff clips?

What is your department btw?
If you are one of the team who made Zoe, Ire,Aka animations; you're basically my god.

""Fortnite” has fewer players overall than Riot Games’ “League of Legends,” but “Fortnite” players on PC are more than twice as likely to spend on in-game content as “LOL” players, SuperData says."

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.

Yeah that's actually really cool! Not my department I'm afraid, and I imagine those who created the UI are on other projects by now.

Yes, and that is what I mean by "NEVER EVER". A lot of players don't see this as balanced or a good gameplay change. If you want Elder to just end the game then either have it literally just end the game or have it instantly execute all enemies on any damage or something dumb like that. Clearly you think having buff should auto-win the game so why beat around the bush. I don't think the majority of the playerbase feels buffs should auto-win the game though.

He doesn't just have elder. He has infernal soul, at least 2 infernal buffs, Liandry's (which significantly increases the duration of the elder burn and the overall damage of his DOTs against her), lots of other AP items AND elder.

It's not like this is just elder buff, but it certainly did some decent damage to jinx, too.

I promise I'm not trying to be antagonistic. I just see a lot of factors contrubuting to this slow 1 shot.

The fact that you think this is what should happen is actually extremely disturbing and disheartening for the future of the game for me.

He has all the buffs too... I mean...

No. No champion "should" die to a single f**king ability. What the hell kind of game is that?

You choose what to build when that can make a difference.

Do you, as an ADC? The way I see it, Jinx already has a defensive item, PD, but her needing PD to be up to not die to a single ability is a joke. She already has a QSS, but Mercurial Scimitar only gives +5 magic resistance when the item's completed anyway, and the QSS/Merc active would do nothing for her here. If she went for the MR item earlier, she'd do no damage because ADC damage without going directly for full damage items is godawful. The mistake in the build I see is that Jinx went for 100 percent crit. Maw of Malmortius is off the table because she already has PD. So Jinx...

Yes, when the enemy team has literally every possible epic neutral buff and jinx has nothing to life steal from, she should die here. Not really sure why Reddit is having a tough time with this one. I'm pretty sure naut could have saved her with Locket (if it was off of cooldown), buy yet no one's mentioned that yet. I mean, he had about 6 seconds in which to react before she died...

Why is every bullshit thing in this game the ADCs fault?

Comment

Liandry's burns for a few seconds after the poison ends and the elder burns for a few seconds beyond that! Brutal.

I mean, Teemo also has Infernal Soul, at least 2 infernal dragons, Baron buff AND elder. Jinx should certainly die to a shroom at this point.

What I don't get is why she doesn't have a life steal item? You need that against Teemo, otherwise you'll get chunked out and have to back after every single shroom.

Yeah, not so much something this level, but certainly some threads! The one where Karthus could be killed in spirit form by Elder dragon said "Guess what you're doing tomorrow, Daniel?".

Comment

This is so clean. Very happy to see a play as simple but as effective as this.

I think it is horrible idea in general since there is tons of DoTs in game as well delayed damage done by runes, which means most of time elder gonna kill both.

That's a fair assessment! So, the solution here would be: Braum puts up shield > blast effect passes right on through and kills original target.

Belugawhale would agree that's the best solution here too.

Yawn. What a boring addition to the discussion.

Why not instead suggest what you think should happen in this instance? Should Braum block the elder blast? What happens to that damage if he does? It can't behave like a beam, else that would suggest it would damage all enemies under the beam too.

Try and provide some value in your next comment: I challenge you! 😊

One problem may be that the Spell going off at all is indicative of the target being about to meet its demise in most cases, anyway (especially with Elder, considering the DOT can just be re-applied), so it just puts Braum into an early grave from full health, too.

I believe this is why it was removed in Urgots case back then, but I don't know for sure because u/GreaterBelugaWhale never told me :x

True, but if the burn was about to end (and the elder blast won't retrigger on the same target for 2s, so it doesn't look odd when whacking tryndamere), the victim may survive.

In this instance, WW just chomped Teemo and killed him moments later anyway.
