League is still a massive game and if the MMO doesn't produce a similar result then Riot is gonna discontinue it. It's not gonna be like a TERA Online where they say "Ok WoW still has 95% market share, but hey the game is profitable so lets keep going". Actually, I believe that there is A LOT of room for a MMO to dethrone WOW. But MMOs mean committement; they're high risk high reward, so to speak. You get it wrong, everybody goes back to WOW after a while and you go bankrupt. WOW is super old, looks like a potato and has a pricing method which is almost a deterrent for new (and old) players. Its mechanics are overcomplicated, its bag of knowledge immense, and the game itself is plagued by unfortunate balance directions (coff coff Ghostcrawler). In my opinion there is actually a good chance that the next good MMO is going to turn out the next phenomena, just like league was or fortnite is.

I don't know what you're talking about mate. Galio's patch history is one big fucking meme. Every single change of that list is carefully picked from an hat by a blidfolded monkey

I actually believe she's on the strong side in competent hands. And the time has yet to come for the masses to realize that Koreans will build her tank and repeat once again the nightmare that tank ekko was.

If 4 levels behind isn't an hyperbole, you did something very wrong that game. But one or two levels behind are completely plausible for a rough jungle game. Catching up when behind in the jungle can be nigh impossible. There's no correct play to do aside for hoping for a favourable gank occasion. I usually fare decently in the role, but recently I had a game where I lost connection during the 1st clear: as a result, I facetanked gromp, was very low, had to back halfway through the clear, lost both crabs, got invaded when low in the jungle and died. My game was over at that point: the enemy jungler stole my camps as he pleased, and I was too behind to countergank or teamfight. A very tilting experience. So if you tell me you're having trouble with jungling I recall that game and perfectly understand.

C'mon Lux supp might be on the strong side right now, but I struggle seeing her as "a monstrosity". She's one of the fairest champions to play against

Just like the infamous AP ratio buff on WW Q that completely broke the meta

No, no and no. I disagree firmly. Galio's problem was not his design, but the subsequent neverending degenerate balance direction of countless changes. We're talking about a kit designed for a tank, forced (repeatedly! patch after patch) to be some kind of... Mage assassin? To be honest this is the "Ornn issue" (but on steroids), aka Riot being somewhat unable to concieve the simple fact that A TANK MIGHT NOT NEED MORE DAMAGE TO WORK AS A TANK. Ornn released underpowered, so they buffed his brittle passive to questionable %hp amounts of damage. He ended up winning every trade in the toplane, so he was gutted and then lost his shield. The problem with galio? They couldn't, and can't, decide once and for all a design direction with him. What is galio is supposed to do, what he's supposed to build? Is he a damage dealer? If yes, is he an AP bruiser, a poke mage, or is he intended to have a 100-0 lockdown burst combo? Or is he a tank? Then, how much is important his anti-AP identity? Where he's supposed to go? In the toplane or in the midlane? Because having him being super effective vs AP mages AND AD bruisers sounds kind of broken. Now, I dream of a day where galio is the guy you pick to suppress an heavy-AP comp, or to deny lane kill pressure vs some pesky AP bummer, like LB in mid or kennen in the top. His Q his meant to help him competing in waveclear with mages, for he is a direct counter to them. I would remove his ap scalings altogether, and give him his old MR ratios.

Only to a certain degree. I was skeptical about someone going Sona taric bot before it was cool, but curious as well. No problems with that. I can tolerate some idiot going something nonsense as teemo or singed support, because let's be honest, it's a suboptimal strategy, but as long as they are trying to win... I keep my mouth shut. Would a teemo support do especially bad, I'd report him. I can respect someone trying to pull off a different team structure, like that Nunu smite "support" roaming around the map and counterjungling. But it doesn't work, it's stupid, and actively hinders your team putting it at a disadvantage.

Nice find. That said, I kind of fear the plot devices they are using lately. What are darkins? They are very old corrupted ascended! What are the ascended? God-warriors of an acient empire that created them with the help of targon, an even more acient society! What is targon? A branch of Ixtal, an even much, much more acient society!! It gotta stop somehow. There are more ways to hype up something. It doesn't necessarily have to be tied to an older, even more mysterious society to be relevant and interesting.

Understandable points, fair opinion. But I still see her as a very uninspired character in all regards: lore, appearance and personality.

Ignoring for a second how her legs literally open up and show weird void tissue, and how the only part of her that remains mostly human is her face and that stupid V-neck (though personally, I wouldve gone further and made only parts of her face remain human, and definitely gotten rid of that stupid V-neck), even psychologically she is quite stunted. Besides her own difficulties with her missing humanity, and her poor social abilities (if she has any), she also has an incredibly railroaded mind. Its focused on one thing, and one thing only, on a level we dont see in most champions. She doesnt even have a proper joke or emote. Her level of one-track-mindedness puts even Pyke and Nautilus to shame who both at least have some sense of humour. Ok, let me clarify: *believable* psychological and physiological consequences. Because I have kind of an hard time considering as a "consequence" what is essentially a latex suit with a "conveniently placed opening", while her face is unscathed with perfect makeup and hair. The shoulder pads are good, though. Had her a rougher design, I wouldn't be so harsh. But I am not against her concept. What you said is correct, smart, on point: total apathy is a way, if not the only way, for a little girl to survive all of the above. But then, show it to me. Make me understand that she is devoid of emotions, that she had to be. Tell me that the symbiote had some role in this, that when she was scared and paralyzed by fear, the symbiote recognized her as unfit for survival and started compensating. Even then, "no emotions" is *not that simple*, and must be explored in its psychological aspects. As things are, I am more inclined to think this is not a problem of poor execution, but they simply didn't bother delving into a challenging piece of character building. Then you have a void symbiote growing on her skin, which only function is granting her super powers. The problem is... that's not a radioactive spider's bite, and she is not Spiderman. *She's Venom*. Show me her relationship with her newfound skin. Show me that the is *hungry* sometimes. Show me the thing to be *alive*. The symbiotic relationship is yet again completely ignored, another proof of poor quality design. There's a SHITTON of unused narrative space there.

(though I am right) Sure, a regular eleven years old trapped out of the sunlight for 10 years, ALONE, witnesses everybody she knew and loves being devoured or crushed, gets a ravenous void symbiote growing as her skin, is perpetually hunted by alien abominations... .... and she suffers *literally* zero psychological AND physiological consequences... "because she stronk, top tier". Such a believable justification, now everything is explained. Silly me to ask why... I don't know man, to me that's objectively trash tier character building. Completely unrealistic, no connection between a character and her past. It doesn't get much more amateurish than that. It's the same level you would expect from a 13 years old kid's fan fiction. I mean, do you actually know what 10 years of isolation ALONE can do to the human mind? Shouldn't we at least take it into consideration? But if you want to keep thinking you're right that's fine.

I used Swain in terms of looking interesting and not bland because I kinda accepted that things are going to be sexualized no matter what. But in cases like Kai'sa where not only she is sexualized to that extent where it ruins her but she is completely bland and uninteresting both in character and in lore. I agree about Kai'sa, she's certainly one of the worst offenders, if not the worst offender. As she is, she kinda ruins the whole void threat to me. If a little girl managed to survive it, is that really a maddening, almost unthinkable dimension that will consume everything? On top of that, she is unbelievably bland and generic, both in appearance and personality. But Swain does a similar thing to the whole "Noxian meritocracy" ideal. One of the most important (and my personal favorite) redeeming qualities of an expansionist empire such as Noxus was that, *no matter your social status, your culture, your wealth, if you're good at something, the empire will give you the role you seek and deserve. If you're strong, you can rise the grades of military (an orphan like Darius managed to reach the Trifarix). If you're smart, you will be implemented as a tactician or a governor. Swain used to be a somewhat useless, old, ugly, crippled war veteran that became noxus ruler out of his own strategic merits. You don't need strength, attractiveness, youth to rule, and Noxus knows that and doesn't care.* New Swain is given super powers and omniscience by a demon, and has no evident negative qualities (he isn't ugly, old-looking or a real cripple). And I feel that avoiding stripping him of those qualities would have made Noxus a more realistic, positive society.

We have some good design and some very bland ones. The problem is evident: marketing consideration impose constraints on artistic creativity. When every female character ARE REQUIRED to have the same body type, similar facial features, and some degree of revealing clothes, you can't have cohesive, coherent and inspired champions like Illaoi. PS: I really wouldn't use Swain as an example of "good design". I consider him the poster child of the above mentioned issue, actually: he's old but not really (change is hair color from white to black and he suddenly looks 35), he's supposed to be a cripple but he has no trouble walking, and he couldn't mantain his grotesque transformation into a bird demon because "nobody plays monster champions". We expected Twin Lannister and got Lucius Malfoy...

I think a cape would make Mordekaiser lose some of bulkiness and thus his figure would be less imposing. That said, I believe that a fine cape belongs on King of Clubs Morde, and it must be implemented.

So... Basically you are hereby canonizing *lime green* as the official *vengeful spirit* color in runeterra. Be careful, there's no going back from that.

I can't wait to die to figure out my color PS: I would have personally made the big step and definitely separate Moredekaiser from the "Shadow Isles green". A "Noxian red" would have been fitting in my opinion. Anyway, if you have envisioned some cosmic meaning for the lime green color, that's completely justified

We kinda already knew that. Swain found Beatrice in the immortal bastion, and that the immortal bastion was erected by Mordekaiser. Even without explicitly knowing about the iron revenant's search for secrets, we could theorize that he put her there and that she was there for a reason. What it truly is interesting is what Beatrice actually knows for her to be that valuable and powerful. In order to retrieve her, Swain journeyed to the core of the Immortal Bastion. This is apparently described as a very risky and secretive task. I highly doubt that this perilous trip consisted in Swain physically finding a secret passage in the basement of the palace and proceeding to avoid a number of traps ala Indiana Jones. What if at the core of the immortal bastion there were the *gateway for mordekaiser's kingdom of afterlife*? *And Swain literally walked unnoticed among the dead to steal Beatrice directly from Mordekaiser's grasp?* We know Beatrice whispered to a death's door Swain through a crow and proposed him some sort of deal, that I am going to assume included Swain "freeing" her from Mordekaiser servitude. But Swain somehow tricked her in *his own* servitude. This would also explain Beatrice's powers of gathering the secrets of the recently passed away. She could have some sort of connection with the afterlife realm, so that she could talk to souls in the limbo before they faded as described in mordekaiser new story.

He has been broken or useless since season 3. Thank you E and your potential one shots with any MS item added to the game. I mean he was most recently broken when lethality and celerity were both strong. Turns out when you make a kit reliant on hitting 4 very easy to hit abilities its really hard to tune their kit especially when the character is a jungler. There is no real skill ceiling to Hecarim. It's pretty damn low and I would say his skill floor is pretty low too IMO. Granted hecarim is a fairly easy and simple champion, he has been in a fine spot most of the time. The only periods in which he was useless is when the jungle was too harsh for him to clear. When he was over tuned, he was mostly abused in the toplane with E+tp+homeguard interaction, which is no more. And the S7 lethality predator hecarim one shots are more about Riot fucking up the game with loads of extra damage than about the champion itself; even then, he never managed to be truly stong, but only extremely oppressive when ahead and useless when behind.

Nice art! Reading the story, I envisioned a much less clean, symmetrical, mundane creature. For example: a much more traditional armor piece, impaled more weapons, rust everywhere, dry blood soiled fur etc

Graves was incredibly generic as a carry, and completely failed to deliver his "shotgun guy" fantasy. The rework was awesome thematically. He was really the "get close and personal ranged carry". But he ended up being played in the jungle, and they had to balance him in that role. Subsequent and necessary nerfs made him unviable in his now secondary role. You can't really have "shotgun fantasy" with shots that go through minions and are high range. And it wouldn't even be balanced having best of both worlds, with range AND close up damage.

There is no design problem with Hecarim. He's just overtuned right now, due to buffs. Nerfs shall put him back in the fine spot he has been in since forever

I have come to hate and fear lore retcon. The new work is frankly not at the same level of the old one. We witnessed so many downgrades, and fortunately avoided disasters like: - Varus losing his whole "duty vs love" personal dilemma, and his identity as one of the very few parents in league of legends. - the internals at Riot somehow (but how is beyond me) being ok with stripping Nautilus of his lore to give it to Pyke. The worse part? Ruining those great pieces of characterization is very often *needless and arbitrary.* The stories shorten and simplify; they become more vague, and core thematics can entirely disappear.

A maddeding truth and an Eldritch appearance aren't the kind of fear I expect from a scarecrow. It's a much mundane, classical kind of horror: weird, sinister, unclear, murderous, evil.

I am no Volibear main, but I do play him quite often recently. I don't know at what level you play, but from my personal experience, he's actually a flat, feast-or-famine, uninteresting piece of garbage. So, why do I put myself in suffering and play that champion? Am I a masochist? Do I like being kited to oblivion by every competent player? It's because I have read "Silence of the damned", and I am intrigued by Volibear's newfound identity of Eldritch god-beast of war, wild and thunder. He is completely covered in rusted weapons from battles of old, and perpetually showered with gore and blood. He is a psyonic juggernaut that numbs the consciousness of those around. He has a clergy of bearmen abominations that surrendered their identity to his image. And I want them to deliver on that fantasy, both in terms of appearance, voiceover and gameplay. I recognize that his current kit has some high moments that give a good general direction of what his future rework should have: - E interrupting dashes, anti-airborne niche, minion fear - the flip being an "oh fuck no" moment for the enemy - a violently inflicted big chunk of damage with build-up

You are right. The chances of his new ult ending up being unbalanceable cancer are high.

But mordekaiser first zhonias, then uses stopwatch.* *Gg you gave just traded a support for a carry with 0 counterplay, effectively a 7 s cc*

I second this. In order to have an healthy coexistence of the two queques, we need something to actually ease up the insane grind. You can't just be required X2 the time to rank up. By mere time constraints, many are forced to seriously try to rank up in one or the other, and not both. As a result of this, flex q is devoid of players and it suffers from heavy matchmaking and game quality issues. I would make so that your flex rank is calculated from your soloQ rank, minus one or two divisions. Example: one getting diamond in soloq would guarantee getting plat/gold in flex. Maybe, even the other way around, with flex rank guaranteeing a corrispective (significantly lower) soloq rank. I also would remove the possibility to duo from soloq and make it flex only. I am aware that this is a very unpopular statement, but I also admit that duos kinda have an advantage over random players. I speak by experience, for I know a certain duo which is very dominant in abusing uncoordinated randoms, and yet struggles any time we actually play versus another coordinated bot.

Shhhh don't speak. Don't complain. I don't care as long as he doesn't DOMINATE every meta. I have played this game so many years and I will tell you that any jungle meta that has Lee Sin under 50% pickrate is a gift from the heavens. We had *entire competitive seasons* where Lee Sin neared 90% pickrate. Neverending borefests of Lee vs [either Kha or Elise]. We had Lee Sin setting the bar for who is allowed to jungle for *literally* YEARS. He would just sit in your jungle, farm your camps and kill you whenever he pleased. It is EVIDENT that Riot has an unfathomable hard-on for the blind boi, and it took an utterly idiotic amount of time in order to realize that having him THAT dominant was unhealthy for the game as whole. We ended up with a nice deal in the end: Lee Sin will be guaranteed to be Tier 1 no matter the meta and the balance team will refrain their impulses to buff him into "undisputed king of the jungle" once again.

But 29%, [if not even lower](https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/builds/yuumi), is rather extreme. To be fair, she has an extremely peculiar kit with many non-intuitive, brand new mechanics to master. I'd even stretch my statement and claim she's the weirdest champion in the roster to play. Also, part of her counterplay lies in being the squishiest champion in the game, meaning a mistake is harshly punished. I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up having a steep rising winrate curve, but still stabilizing around a negative, yet reasonable, value.

She will suffer the same Ivern went through, and tilted people bitching on forums will take a while to catch up to the fact that the champion can actually be effective. I understand and somewhat share your disappointement in seeing yet another enchanter being a ball of stats. But Yuumi is unique and inspired in many parts of her kit, and I fully support her peculiar nature, because we need variety and NOT those jack-of-all-trades, flashy dashy bursty generic outplay machines like Akali and Irelia. Alas, I can abide, yet again for the sake of variety, having one more of those in the enchanter class, as I mentioned above, but that's no reason to reject Yuumi a priori.

This specific bug has been reported countless times already. I do not know if Riot intends to fix it any time soon, though.

I used to think that, but in the end I believe Mordekaiser would be out of character as an illusionist/deceiver. He's a conqueror and a tyrant. Rules with fear and an iron fist.

A statcheck is any champion who wins fights through simply having the sheer *stats* to win (instead of heavy strategy or skill being required) and this being constantly true. A champion that gets fed as fuck will win through sheer stats, but this does not mean they're a statcheck - just as if you wear a green shirt it doesn't mean you are green yourself. To be honest, with current Aatrox's focus on lifesteal, he is more of a stat check [to melee champions] than his previous self has ever been. In that regard, asking for a revert is more adequate than ever.

Being optimistic is a nice quality. However, "Riot fixing things" is a meme more than anything Don't get your hopes up..
