Yeah, I can do that, no problem about it... but I was just wondering if I missed something in the games menu.
Ya if you're looking to dive into the juice lore than this is the site for you (https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/). It's got stories on every champion, lore ...
Read moreI’m a relative noob and this is pretty tangential, but what is the difference between a mage build and an enchanter build? Is the enchanter build essentially the support build?
Generally ya, enchanters are typically played in the support position, with the dragon laner.
Mage builds typically focus on higher damage. Items like Luden's Echo, Void Staff, and Oblivion Orb are typically mage items. Champions like Ziggs, Aurelion Sol, or Annie are some good examples of mages.
Enchanters tend to focus on enhancing their allies. Ability Power is still a useful stat for them, but they "enchant" their allies rather than focusing on damage. Items like Harmonic Echos, Staff of Flowing Waters, and Ardent Censer all do this well. Champions like Janna, Sona, and Soraka, and Nami are some strong go to enchanters.
Seraphine is a champion designed to do both, depending on items and skill order.
thank you, absolutely clear policy.
I played with Jax on the team a couple of days ago, he took AP items, three of my allies started writing "write a report to Jax, he is a troll" I was very upset about this. Therefore, I decided to ask.
Well, thanks for the answer, if it is necessary then so be it.
ps I always write only negative comments about what I don't like. I would like to take this opportunity to praise the balance of the game, it's amazing how you manage to keep the power of different champions at the same level (realizing that this is very difficult, do that there are both simpler and more difficult champions on the list)
Thanks for the kind words, the whole balance team works hard to try to keep everyone in a good spot. We over shoot at times, but that is why I'm happy we patch so often. =P
Read moreI 100% agree.
OP mentioned Varus, whom I OTP since the second half of season two, and he is the perfect example of a dual scaling champion, so I'll leave my input here, especially about him.
A champion that can be built either AP or AD is very healthy because right now, most if not all champions that can be built so feel very different from one build to the other. This practically makes it like it's two different champions. For instance, Varus has 3 viable builds: crit, lethality, and AP. I will straight up ignore crit varus though because he is way below the other two in my opinion.
Lethality varus is a poke champion that can turn around teamfights with his super low CD ultimate (with the regular lethality build it is about 27s). The build revolves around sniping and making sure he is impossible to catch.
AP on the other hand is an all-in build that revolves around oneshotting anyone with a delayed burst, taking more risks because he needs ...
Ya I think Varus is one of the champions who does alt builds very well.
Sooooooo sory for tag, but can u say something bout this, pls
What are you interested in hearing about?
I'll share some of my personal thoughts on duel scaling champions, but these are just my thoughts.
I think it comes down to a per champion basis. We see many champions have multiple options of build styles (Tank, AP, AD, bruiser, enchanter, etc) when these styles offer something different.
Malphite, Gragas, Amumu, and Singed are all tanks with AP builds. The important thing to take note of is that these builds offer something that their tank builds don't. They play differently, and have noticable trade offs.
We see similar things with Seraphine, and Lulu with their mage builds behaving differently than their enchanter builds.
But AD and AP builds are a bit different in that typically these builds have the same or very similar goals (do damage) and the playstyle of champions trying to have both options tend to not change their playstyle between them. So it's harder for these to feel interesting when...
Read moreAs long as you don't remove it from tanks then we all good.
We are following a recent change PC made where you need to have enough bonus health. So tanks should be just fine.
This is something we have been talking about internally.
We agree it makes games take longer than they should, and are playing with some idea on how we want to solve it (and how critical the problem is).
The comment about backdooring is an interesting one, and not one I had heard before.
We also agree that the frequency we are seeing Warmog's Armor as the lone defense item for many nontanks in ARAM is a problem. This should be addressed in the next patch.
