CertainlyT gets to speak He says that he wanted thresh to be everything, and he sounds like he did get what he wanted and when he says it Gypsylord is saying that he is like lee sin

Then one of the testers (a better player amone the testers) says to him that Thresh is broken CertainlyT thought process "Well im gonna solve that over lunch"

i like playing yasuo, but when i hear this guy speak about the way he designed them i have mixed feelings, he seems to not give a crap about his creation actualy living in the world of lol, being ballanced, being healthy he just creates stuff that is cool, like a kid

I watched it too, and he's exactly as imagined him. Haughty, proud, and gives absolutely no shits about the damage he's done to League. He seems to enjoy seeing what he's created at the expense of the playerbase, and continues to make new champions more cancerous than his previous creation.

"We want to avoid creating frustration."
Go fuck yourself. If you really want to avoid that, don't make another champion.

his champions are usually strong but I think I'd prefer to die and lose to them then several other champions in this game. In that way they are less cancerous and right now none of his champions he's made are really strong. Thresh isn't that highly contested right now yasuo isn't in a good place right now and was only in a good place after they gave him some buffs and found a build that works on him.

Kalista Zed Thresh beg to differ

Thresh isn't that highly contested right now

http://www.lolking.net/champions/ 30% pick rate says otherwise...

The only thing I'll agree to is that Yasuo isn't in a good place, and thank God for that.

When did I want to fire the designers? I just want CertainlyT far away from champion creation.

yeah but most of those guys are just getting nerfs and get ballanced (more or less like anything else)

while champions of CertainlyT are a diferent case they are made out of quite complete and well synergizing kits that contain loads of tools basicaly for everything a champion can do, which translates to tonns of power that is not tied to any numbers

thresh is the example here, CertainlyT made sure that his kit allows for A)supporting B)Tanking C)Actualy dealing damage aka being a carry

the only thing that gates his damage and tankyness are numbers, but nothing can gate his utility besides a rework on his skills, so riot is in a weird spot where nerfing him might make that entire load of strenght his skills have get obsolete, while not nerfing him leaves him dominant

and thats the case with like every of his champions they get shitty stats becuase their kits are insanely owerloaded with raw power of everything he could think of, and that does not fix even one of their ballance problems, they are either underwhelming or owerwhelming

and their ballance can even vary from game to game in cases like darius and kalista

put kalista vs someone with realy good point and click abilities and she is the worst adc you ever saw put kalista vs meele opponents or champions relying on skillshots and she is a god tier adc

put darius vs a meele who cant just disengage, he stomps hard and turns out to amass loads of sheer power fast put him vs something that kites or that he cant catch, he is up since he can only compete by flashing into enemy adc

put yasuo vs someone who will bully him early, he wont get a game, he is too reliant on items put yasuo on a lane he can do good in or even score a kill, he starts doing his job and tornadoes fly around

and those interactions go beyond simple counterpicks, since it doesnt just decide their lane, but preety much their game

so to be short and quite easy to understand CertainlyT creates kits that amplify the power of numbers said champions has to the insane extent, which means that their ballance gets realy explosive on insanely many levels

easy example : yasuo loads of nerfs, on his q on his ult on his windwall on his shield on his dash and nothing, he still dominates the field then one nerf to his hp and the tide turns, yasuo is unable to even get one good game a small buff to his hp, and he either explodes in game or just fails (current state)

owerall nerfs used : tonns of problems solwed: i assume 0, some things changed but the ballance problems are still there and riot realy just removed big part of his kit without even hindering his ballance

they need to fire certainly, lyte, and ghostcrawler.

and replace them with manatees with a bunch of balls that have words on them. this would be the first step in fixing the game.

they need to fire certainly,

I wouldn't agree to this, but what I would agree to is moving him away from design.

lyte,

What the hell is wrong with Lyte?

and ghostcrawler.

I used to be a WoW player. That said, I've since let it go and have given him a chance here.
