Ya.
I guess Ghostcrawler achieved his end: a casualized game where oneshots are the norm. I ain't blaming one guy though, obviously Riot wanted him to do the same thing to League as he did to WoW. Riot as a conglomerate of mass-incompetence is surely to blame for this.
There's not much more else to say. This game will die if things don't change at Riot HQ.
rawiazam141 voteshe doesn't even play the game.
it's like trying to make rules in north korea without living there, only hearing what's happening in the news
Spank the Fox8 votesGhostcrawler isn’t in charge anymore as of last week
PowerSlave9932 votesThat's true. People think that living in North Korea is like living in concentration camp just because they heard that on news.
Terozu2 votesYes he does play the game.
RankOneUganda20 votesthis is basically what happened to WoW when it started to die as I heard. powercreep. ghost fucking garbage and meddler. fucking idiots
Melledoneus2 votesI wouldn't blame Meddler here.
I can vouch that the guy does his job, and he does it well. He doesn't make most of these stupid decisions like nerfing turrets.
Arcane Blue Boi7 votesGhostcrawler left the lead designer team and we've got what i think its the most awesome rework of all recent rework estravaganza (not counting those times when riot casually reworked, like old sion).
Spank the Fox2 votesImplying reworks are done in within a week’s notice and not a project that takes several months.

It surely does feel like that "rework" > >> >> > Swain << < < < << << is a one week project.
Wyrmblade2 votesI've been playing nu-Swain a bunch lately and he seems pretty dope from a gameplay perspective. It's fun wrecking people with spells that feel weak because it feels like you had to outthink and outmaneuver them hard. His ult is just a switch from sustained damage to burst damage though the stacking mechanic is weird.
The real shitshow is at the conceptual level of his aesthetics and thematics. The monstrous demon form and beatrice were the coolest parts of the champion and they were stripped away and replaced with nothing or a half done facsimile. The former of those two is easy and the latter could just replace the visuals for eye of noxus in some way. It causes more paranoia if there's a tyrant that can see you through birds rather than a magical floating exploding eye. Another core feature his cane, which got replaced with a glowy red arm that's just an overcomplication of his lameness that doesn't translate well into a medium where his lore has nothing to do with his presence in game and you can hardly see that it's translucent.
Arcane Blue Boi1 votesWell i never implied such thing. Its just a funny coincidence
sorry for late response was on vacation

Power Cosmic5 votesI hate to say it but you are right. There is nothing more casual than MF in pro games. That being the case, most good players with team training could play pro.
Bobloser35551 votesno they couldnt there is no definite skill limit in this game because there is just too much to know and it changes all the time no one can keep up with it all.
3TWarrior2 votescan you define what allows the pro players to perform better than an adequately trained team, now that the game is more focused on team gameplay and not individual skill?
pro teams used to be made of the best of the best. They still are, but solo queue skills translate differently into team gameplay
Faker was recently benched for unknown reasons and he was #1 in the world
Bobloser35551 votesIMO I would say game knowledge and decision making, at the highest level I think the reaction and mechanical skill difference isn't much between the players.
3TWarrior1 votesI can agree, but i'd also like to point out that that is not always the case
I forgot who it was but he recorded a stream of himself against Faker
another high level streamer had actually predicted the exact number of deaths that he would have at 2 / 17
Power Cosmic1 votesno they couldnt there is no definite skill limit in this game because there is just too much to know and it changes all the time no one can keep up with it all.
I honestly know just about everything in the game, and can use the knowledge perpetually while playing. You arent good if you can only do a couple things bc often in a game as big as LoL those things will change and/or get taken away regularly. The "how" basically everyone can do to some extent. "What," is a lot more important, bc if you do the wrong thing it doesn't matter how well you do it. Like if you OTP LuLu to Gold, that is what you did, it doesn't mean you are good or bad. Because if you are good you can hop off LuLu onto MF in Diamond as a Gold and be a-okay.
Bobloser35551 votesYou don't know much about the game at all, you are silver 5 man, IMO even if you have bad mechanics if you know everything about this game you would be Diamond. Because you would always make the right choices. No one knows everything about this game.

I do make the right choices in game. Have you seen me play? I have a few years of data that shows my ability which clearly displays I got a complete understanding of this game. My rank shows what I have been working with and against, given my very solid consistent play, it is easy to see why I do not play as much anymore.
Ahris4 votesRiot's direction with some champs just ignores their playerbase.
Which i dont think will change. Riot ruined my champ and planning to quit soon as maplestory 2 is out
50Shades0fTrynda2 votesits their champion ... sorry
PaladinNO8 votesThen they can keep their champions without a playerbase to use them, how about that.
50Shades0fTrynda1 votesits a good thought

AZ Frost2 votesFunny this was a post from OVER a year ago and it would seem as if it was just posted. Good lord this game needs help badly. I haven't heard one good comment about this game this last season. "Oh man, this game is the best I have played. So much fun and fair!" ~said no one ever.
saltran1 votesWe are full on circlejerk, this never change.
