Dexie Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/volibear-patch-preview-gameplay-changes Oh boy. People are all up in arms about this patch. Sivir's finally getting her remake (The removal of dodge kind of forced them to finally look at her). The jungle changes should be interesting, I want to wait and see what exactly they're doing before; I think people are bitching over nothing right now. The laning changes though, urgh. I really don't think minion damage needs to be lowered. If minions damage is lowered too much, what's the point of even having them, other than meat shields for towers?

The whole point is to encourage early-game aggression and give champions who have a good early game a chance to get an immediate leg up and to remain competitive later on in the team-fight phase. Aggression is the theme of this patch and the recent changes. They don't want you hanging back just playing coy cat-and-mouse games with your opponent. They want you to play intelligently, but they want to reward intelligent risk-taking, which is pretty much a theme in this whole game.

The Derrit Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 also i mean seriously. when was the last time you ever let yourself get hit by minions unless you were chasing someone. i don't think anyone counts on the extra damage that the minions will do during a teamfight because that's really dumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 no that's actually a really important part of determining whether or not you're in a safe position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derrit Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 no that's actually a really important part of determining whether or not you're in a safe position that's my point creep waves determine where on the map you can and can't be most people don't disregard that rule so anyone with a brain shouldn't be getting hit by creeps outside of an engagement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I think these new changes are going to be great. Anything to make the game more aggressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyanCe Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 scaling back minion damage on champions is a great idea. they're pushers, not assassins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Green and white buffs from Twisted Treeline in the main map? Yes please. I wonder if the best jungle path will _always_ be a wraith start now, for the increased movespeed... Edit: Also, 9 points in Utility for buff increase just got a lot better.

The Author Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Had a game, went as Leona with my friend as Blitzcrank, had a bit of a rough start against a Chogath and Veigar combo. The chogath started trash talking, but on one push when we got the Veigar, we saw cho gath chilling under the tower, AFKing. He got pulled out, and killed. He started bitching about how we sucked, always running and only killing AFk people. Then we started getting him more and more, because Leona, she starts weak, but once you got some cool down reduction and defense on her, she's dangerous.

Dexie Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 All the new skins in tommorrow's patch are out, too. http://imgur.com/a/efNHG Warwick is up to eight skins now, tied with Annie for the most in the game. Akali and Trist both have seven now. No love for Swain, Udyr, and Cass still. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexie Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I think it looks pretty good. Way better than Commando Lux, that's for sure. I still like Spellthief the best out of her skins, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prophetik music Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 is that trist skin supposed to be mega miniman, bastion, or just some elf looking thing? also, tits lux looks better than bored schoolgirl lux. i think there's some huge changes with this patch. madred's and wriggles reduction to proc damage, baron pushing away wards under his head, and the obvious small camp changes for junglers. the camp exp range reduction will be nice too for idiot leashers.

zircon Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 yeah if a new champ isn't generally overpowered they must be boringedit: taric buffs what the fu His abilities are just really bland. He basically has a carbon-copy of Jax's ult passive (ramping attack speed -> bonus damage every few hits) and Singed's fling with a movement buff. Other than that, an AOE damage/slow and an on-hit attack booster. Wow, I've never seen those before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I don't really think whether or not an ability has existed in some form before has any bearing on whether or not a character would be fun to play if we removed all arbitrary lines in choosing what is and is not fresh and funky then I could basically say A NEW CHAMP WITH ABILITIES THAT DO DAMAGE, FEH, HOW BORING and then my monocle twinkles and I go back to playing dota2 and pretending/hoping that it isn't secretly just as shitty a game as dota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexie Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 is that trist skin supposed to be mega miniman, bastion, or just some elf looking thing? also, tits lux looks better than bored schoolgirl lux. Apparently, it's just called 'Rocket Tristana'. How creative. Imperial Lux's in-game model looks pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 and then my monocle twinkles and I go back to playing dota2 and pretending/hoping that it isn't secretly just as shitty a game as dota And then you play a hero like Tinker, Broodmother or hell, even Nature's Prophet, and a tear appears in your eye as you realize that LoL will never have champions as inventive or unique as them, and will always have to make do with extremely watered down versions of existing DotA heroes.
