@Riot a modest proposal about the upcoming champ

La Bello··7 votes·744 views

As we all know thanks to the next champion roadmap there is a champion coming up is being created by none other than the man,the myth, the legend our very own CertainlyT. While I along with many other players im sure are awaiting with baited breath for this next masterpiece and paragon of healthy,fun design I would like to present just a few request should they not be too much trouble to fulfill.

  1. Make CertainlyT play at least 30 games AGAINST his own champ using a_ NON-certainlyT champ_ and ask him to jot down how he felt playing against it and if he would be willingly to subject other people to such emotions. 24/7. Across the globe. Perpetually.

  2. Have a second designer present in room with him as he designs watching over his shoulder like a buzzard. As CertainlyT adds things to his champion the second designer should ask him " Would the kit still be functional WITHOUT this?" "Are you sure this champion needs doubled crit chance/free damage on summoner spell use/50% free ar pen/vanishing auto projectiles based on vision" ect. If the answer is "no" then assemble the elder council of designers have a vote for the final say.

  3. Remind him every now and then that you _ dont always_ have to shake the pillars of conventional design or break the rules. Making a long ranged champ who deals even MORE damage at melee range for instance might not be the best thing. Maybe there are some universal constants that are not meant to be broken cough TRUE INVIS cough and ignoring them might be less than wise.

I think taking some small precautions like this might help keep the state of the game in a healthy and optimal for everybody! Good Luck on designing that new champion and may you have a blessed day!

You do know that champion design isn't a single person slaving away in a locked closet right? There's a whole team working on each champion.

but do these people have the power or courage to "leash" this man once more as was done before to decent results or will they allow him to remain "unleashed" (get it)? also Im assuming that the "Lead" of the project has a bit more say in the project than the others. Like if a champ has your name attached you would get artistic choice about certain things up until the champ gets released (which after that IIRC it becomes the balance teams problem).

What is your point with Warwick? He's regarded as one of the best reworks Riot has done

La Bello3 votes

Warwick was CertainlyT being LEASHED by another dude.

Mordekaiser was him UNLEASHED. Zoe was him UNLEASHED. Yasuo was him UNLEASHED. Thresh,Darius and Kalista .....

Except you have no proof of anything?

Your perception of the designer clouds your judgement to instantly dislike playing against a champion.

Thresh is a great champion. He may have been a bit overturned on release but he made a new standard for support champions. Thresh has made the support role fun for thousands of players back before Thresh most people would never play support. He changed how making a support champion would be for the rest of League of Legends existence. Thresh is single handedly the best thing CertainlyT has done for the game.

I just hope as you said, that this champ won't have the "Would the kit still be functional WITHOUT this?" cough Zoe spell thief + enhanced aa cough

Oh my a new CetrainlyT champions oh god please no. Seriously I hope the next champ won't be a nuisance for further development.

Yasuo | I wonder what it's like to design new crit items because of this, crit is like one of my favorite stats in video games and yas makes me fear how designing items for it will be hell.

Zoe | Another item design wall made recently. My other hyped items are stuff like item 3107 , item 3512 , item 3109 , Banner of Command. Because they actively alter your teamplay or give you new ways to affect Summoners Rift itself (BoC I loved for the aura and teamfight potential, not the minion part tho). But now I fear that we can have less epic active items because Zoe would be bonkers rng with them.

Also I remember there being talks of a "Demacian Inquisitor" champion, it sounds just like my alley. And the teaser picture seems like it's from Demacia and now I have to fear that champion being what I've waited for so long and him being broken af or annoying to play against.
