"I thought we were winning this game but I hadn't realised that Vayne had opened a soup kitchen on toplane".
Designed to curb some slight increase in snowballed games in 9.23
I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one! It's a special irritation of mine that some of those abilities don't actually Crit. If they did, surely IE would work with them, or Randuin's Omen works against them (the basic attack looking ones, anyway). If magical crit was a real thing (past statikk shiv, corki crits and looks at notes gromp's first 2 basic attacks), then we could offer a magic IE or something, but it's not.
I think it's misleading for new players to have fake crits on champ kits, even if they do feel super satisfying. Our champ designers know how awesome it feels to get crit text anims as rewards for "doing the thing" well, and it shows since we have so many of them now!
Given some actual time to work on this, I'd like to offer a chunky, snappy "crit-like" animation to replace the Crit icon. The text would pop, linger and perhaps even have a small tremble to show just how insanely sick that ability hit was! You're insane, Vlad! Incre...

I mean, it's not hard to keep a game unsolved if you change it every other week.
That's sort of true! Hey, it's worked for 10 years.
While it's already implied, it's still nice to hear that you (collectively) are watching the data. Thanks for that!
Just curious, if dragons were hypothetically ruled to be too impactful, how would that be measured in data? Since winning teams get more objectives, it's not enough to have a direct correlation between drakes and wins... or even proximity to dragons... or even that close games are decided upon dragons... maybe that dragons disproportionately win games where you lose other objectives, as I've experienced?
How do you separate symptoms and causes? Probably a combination of things, but I can't quite put my finger on what would satisfy me if I put myself in your shoes (I don't envy the hard task y'all have either).
Since we have so much data available, we can calculate "increase in likelihood of win" between 2 teams that are essentially the same, but 1 has a single dragon and another no dragons etc. So, we want to keep the increases within a reasonable boundary.
last night my team took Baron because the enemy team were so focused on Dragon
Is it a trade off...
How long does a baron buff last
How long does dragon soul last
Unless the answer to those is the same then the trade off doesn't matter? Sure you get baron and gold, sure you might get some gold from towers but what does it matter if the advantage the other team gets is several times bigger?
How long is a game of League? Saying something lasts forever sure sounds great, but if your team is missing a pair of inhibs, that forever isn't going to feel like long!
Anyway, I love this conversation because it shows that the game is far from solved.
Btw, if we do notice any problematic trends in the data, we will certainly act.
football has been the same for the past 100 years. same pitch same ball same numbers of players on the field . LEAGUE will never be a credible esport with all these changes
Describe a more credible esport than League?
The dragon changes look fun, though I would go harder with the terrain alterations. Also, I would LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE if the map change would be announced for pro players before each match. It would be so cool to have different little metas around the maps. On the flipside, not announcing it would be lame.
Anyway, this patch being okay or even great has nothing to do with alcoves and they serve absolutely no purpose other than making you question why are they even there - if you even remember them being there, because I still play games where I leave my lane without realizing it was even there, which is just... sad.
Don't feel sad! That's totally fine. We're ok for 10 games to go by with no alcove event if the 11th you make a sick outplay (or get outplayed!) in one.
It's funny because there's like 50 comments here saying "they only exist for X and nothing else" but yet every comment has a different X. Seems like people are finding lots of uses for them.
I'm actually happy reading this thread for that same reason.
I’ve had a couple clutch escapes and kills using the Botlane cove. It has its uses but it’s rare
You have summarised the exact intention of the alcove.
There's a trade-off cost to everything you do in League.
If you mean my life when I installed this game 7 years ago sure
Oof. I hope it brought you some new friends?
FF
Edit: sorry I just straight commented this without reading your post. But I’m not joking. Personally, I’m going to start the FF vote every time until something is done about it.
That's extremely wasteful of your team's LP. Read some of the other comments in this thread for advice.
This could partially be due to the fact preseason is new and people are learning what's important and what isn't, but last night my team took Baron because the enemy team were so focused on Dragon.

Aight thanks for confirming it was on the record!
Btw
Will fix on Monday
is kind of a meme around here because of August, might need to be careful about the way you put that if you don't want the memes to rain in :P
Oh, yes. But, this one really is one for me to fix on Monday.
You're right. I'll fix on Tuesday instead! Close call.
It was a bit of fun. Stop searching for trouble.
Touche!
Oof Riot asking a player why they're too bad to use the new tools they've been provided.

Read moreHey Rovient, are you aware of what happens when Shaco's clone last hits Dragons? (The clone is a bit special in kill credit transferal)
Basically, while it does end up giving the team the individual dragon buffs, it will/can
Delay the SRX transformation by the amount of dragons Shaco's clone has taken
If Shaco's clone takes the kill credit on the 4th drake of the team, nobody gets a Dragon Soul. Since it does get Elder to spawn, nobody will get a Soul in the future, either!
Shows the Elder's spawn icon (at the top of the screen in the TAB overview) as another Elemental Drake. Does show 6 minutes respawn time, and an Elder Dragon will spawn by the end of it. The display on the wall in the dragon pit shows the Elder's Icon all this time properly. Does not seem to happen for the very first Elder Dragon spawn, but every later one (If Shaco's Clone takes down Elder).
Doesn't grant his team the Elder Dragon buff whe...
Yes. This really sucks! Will fix on Monday morning.
The "dragon has been killed" event in our scripts apparently only checks for whether Champions have killed a dragon, not any source of damage.
If your hit by something below 20% and have Taric ult on you do you still die?
As long as Taric's ult has completed it's build up and you have become invulnerable, no.
But wait, we created Elder Dragon to end the suffering of hopeless souls like yourselves, trapped in games like these! Did it do nothing?!
