in > Why doesnt the "adaptive" keyword exist for resistances?
Pretty much this. There are two main reasons why we decided to not go that direction and leave adaptive for offense. First, adaptive is primarily useful for providing the same option to two characters that want to specialize in different stats. Defense, you generally don't have a strong push to specialize in. As a result, shifting a block of defenses from Armor to MR is sometimes useful, but often you want a more balanced approach. Second is predictability. Offensive scalars are intrinsic to your champion, with hybrids being the outliers. For defense its largely a reactive decision and creating the potential for your defensive profile to switch undermines the ability for your opponent to check your defensive profile and decide if buying pen is a good option vs other items. We don't want to create a way that your reactive itemization decisions can be undermined by an opponents defensive profile shifting in non-obvious ways.

: Stat checking is when you just beat someone, not because of skill, but because you just get more raw stats then them and beat them down. Should note on the complete opposite is a skill check where you beat someone because you executed like a combo better
Wrekzzz (NA)
in > Runes Corner: Late-Game Focused Runes
Stat checking is a deeper conversation because the term doesn't just apply to whenever you beat someone with stats. We could make a champion with 1 movespeed and an insane amount of stats, but that champion would be high on strategic counterplay. Stat-checking becomes a negative when there is no way to outplay the opponent tactically (due to stats) or strategically. When early game champions have the capacity to lane-bully this problem arises. However, when making power curve tradeoffs such as with Gathering Storm while you may gain the ability to Stat-check people more in the late game, you also open yourself up to strategic counters earlier in the game due to relative weakness during that phase. In this case i'm not super worried, I think Gathering Storm is just more strategically slanted than tactical.

How about "ne'zuks rising force" or something along those lines. It's a reference to ezreal's passive that lets you reduce his cds by using spells. Ne'zuk was the original user of ezreal's gauntlet.

If you could have 20% CDR at level 1-2, that seems pretty insane. Even if it doesn't increase the 5% CDR on basic abilities on each ultimate cast like I think it does, being able to switch forms basically whenever would be useful to the form change champions that don't have R cooldown resets. I'm almost certain that reducing the cooldown on a transformation ult doesn't reduce the cooldown of your basic abilities, that would be really odd.

On average game's don't last long enough for it to go insane, but if you got a massive bonus from it every game there would be no tension around picking the rune. There are a number of situations where you can predict a game will go long. Sometimes your team is running late-game champs, sometimes their team has a Ziggs/Anivia/other high waveclear champ and you can tell it will be hard to push for a win. Some people are interested in using the Rune as something of an insurance policy. If it doesn't appeal to you that's fine though, not everyone needs to like every rune.

: It makes it so champions like jayce and quinn can't proc thunderlords off of auto poke alone, if anything this is a well needed change. Basically jayce would have to Q+auto+use a melee hammer to ever get a thunderlords proc, rather than getting it for free poking. 3 Autos still won't proc it, Unique attacks (an auto + different spells or 3 different spells for instance) and spells proc the keystone.

Adaptive runes will have a much larger impact than champion base stat adjustments and we will be conscious of champions that have off builds and try to work around those as much as possible.

Currently we are exploring a version of Hunter's Machete with 15% AS vs Monsters on it. It is best if Runes Reforged doesn't let you optimize early clear speed because that rapidly compresses to a single viable build for jungling so we are looking at other ways than pregame to influence the jungle.

Wrekzzz (NA)
in > New Champion Q&A: Kindred, the Eternal Hunters
1) We do not intend on providing keybinds for the selection UI. The reason is that it is only intended to be used out of combat. Keyboard shortcuts are great for really quick accessing things, but in general that is not what the Lamb section of the passive expects you to do. Not providing keybinds helps makes it more clearly an out-of-combat objective setting thing. We don't want it to be confused with a spell or something of that nature. 2) Lamb's Respite is an exceptionally powerful skill. On top of that, I don't believe their early game is actually weak and as people get a better understanding of how to capitalize on early jungle camps they will continue to be powerful. Moving the discussion away from power though Kindred is intended to enable you to run new team comps (double AD while still having a standard mid, dual fighter bot maybe). Kindred is also a new type of carry jungler that benefits heavily from a strong marksman skillset. 3) We will evaluate balance after they release.

Wrekzzz (NA)
in > New Champion Q&A: Kindred, the Eternal Hunters
Glad to hear you like the champion! The reason Kindred have a utility ultimate (and this is something that we will be doing more in the future for carry classes) is so that they bring something unique to the team beyond damage ability x4. The result of this is that in games when you are not doing well your team can still depend on you to bring some benefit. This is particularly important as Kindred are snowbally and comparatively more likely to be snowballed against than champions that are able to farm safely in a lane, this makes having a good fallback pattern (deal some safe damage, use your ult to keep fed people alive, try to pick up hunts off assists) even more important to avoid feeling like you are really useless in some of your games.

Wrekzzz (NA)
in > New Champion Q&A: Kindred, the Eternal Hunters
1) I was working on a kit with a passive very similar to this and we were working to create an awesome concept to match it. Lamb and Wolf was one concept that emerged during this phase and felt like it could become a really awesome champion. 2) We were working on the kit and it had a passive that was built around the idea of picking a target and finding a way to kill them for a reward. That passive ended up seeming really cool, but being boring in the bot lane position because you only really had two options and it felt like a coin flip at best. Junglers have a ton more access to roaming around and picking who they want to try and kill. It seemed like this would be a great combination with the kit and that it would give us a chance to make a really unique champion who plays very differently. 3) The ultimate is exceptionally powerful and is balanceable because the benefit it gives can also be shared by enemies assuming they are willing to come inside the zone. If the ultimate healed allies and damaged enemies it would be a trap for them to enter the zone, and you would essentially free win every fight. 4) I don't believe so

We were looking for contrast between the two of them and felt that the contrast was most present with Lamb and Wolf as they are such polar opposites.
