Riot's take on damage in the game?

Disulfiram··2 votes·328 views

Hi! Just curious: what does Riot think about the state of damage in the game? Do you think that it is fine? Or that there's too much burst? Or that there's too much DPS? Or that there's too much AoE? Or that there's too little of the above? Or that there's too much of the above on some classes and/or too little on others? Are you trying/going to fix it?

I've complained, like others (we sure like to complain a lot :p ), about there being too much damage in the game (imho), but was wondering what is Riot's current stance on the issue (plain curiosity, but also because it would tell if we should just learn to deal with it or if there's hope that it will be toned down in the future).

Or at least if building defensive items will actually keep us alive 2 seconds longer lol

I'll take 1 second longer at this point. At least then maybe I'd be able to use a summoner in time to possibly save myself.

they're trying to make the game more twitch+reactionary, which isn't bad, it's not what I want, but it's not really bad.

React to a Nocturne pressing R.

Nocturne has Duskblade+DarkHarvest.

What do you do?

WRONG. The answer is, you die. And also your nearest teammate dies, cuz yo dead ass reset his Dark Harvest.

Then he waddles his BBGC back into the woods.

It is kind of bad right now, since not every champion benefits from that kind of playstyle. I think the day that they change all of the older champions to play that way is when the game will finally die. That's when it will essentially cease being a strategy game, and just become a game with "some" strategic elements.

The day Karthus is changed to play that way we'll see some pretty easy pentas... [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Damage creep is for Esport purposes. Often times pro teams would go 20mins+ without a firstblood.

Now, if a mosquito farts, youre probably going to die.
