So black market is temporary?

GamerGoodies··9 votes·1,063 views

I been wanting a new permanent game mode. Just having normals and arams (dominion and 3v3 is just overruned with bots). Is starting to lose my interest. I liked smite, it had a lovely amount of variety.

League needs more variety even though the game modes are temporary. I don't mean to whine but I just like to play more game types, and black market is freaking awesome~

This. Every time I see them talk about new items they are afraid to add new item variety because they're too afraid it will imbalance the game... while they think throwing out new champs consistently doesn't mess with balance at all lol.

They're going to add new items soon enough for fighters. I don't feel like digging through Meddler's posts from 2 days ago, but he mentioned fighting items were likely next on the list. And by next on the list, I mean next on the list of item stuff, so it won't be coming next few patches or anything.

Imo they should just make the items semi-permanent in normal games at first, and then when they work there and dont imbalance stuf too much try them in ranked. It will give them all the feedback they need on PBE and normal games

I've played this game long enough now that there's only 3-4 items I can't remember exactly what they do just by looking at the item icon, and at this point you realize how boring the items really are. It's not that the item stats are boring (although they could use some more spell based/passive based on items), just that for most heroes, it's extremely obvious what you should get (depending somewhat on other team build too of course) because the diversity is not really there. I want more hybrid ad/ap items and more hybrid tank/ (ad/ap) items, and more pure support items wouldnt hurt.

Another idea (I know it's far away from their current system) would be to give the big build items each 1 socket. So any item that costs over 2500 total cost to build has 1 gem socket. The gems are normally purchasable items that add new stats or improve upon already existing stats to the item. Example a Vitality gem adds +10% hp or hp regen bonus to any items with hp or hp regen, Warmog's adds 800 hp so with Vitality gem it becomes 880 hp and possible increase the regen of Warmog 's. This small socket feature would add a huge amount of diversity to builds because all the final build items will be able to have slight modifications such as this one.

FUn as that sounds, it would make champions that scale well into late-game even scale better into late-game. So there would be unbalanced builds if a game lasts long. Sure some champions are supossed to scale better late, and theres a few that can scale endlessly(Veigar/Nasus) But I don't think we should get to a point were anyone can just keep on scaling up with more items and gem-slots. There should be a limit on how high a champion can get with his build.

( also if someone wants to bring up Nasus and Veigar, don't, thats an entire different balancing subject)

MIRROR BEST ITEM 2015

No but seriously the mirror is possible the most hilarious and amazing item to ever be invented in any MOBA. I've only played one game so far and there were only two mirrors, but the mind games you can play are insane.

So Far I'm loving all of the items they have for black market. They especially feel balanced and fun to use. Matter of fact I'd love it if they add merc's as something to use in a game more often as well.

Devourer was bad, Feral Fair was bad. But lets just add another Infinity weapon and see what happens.

With all the cool stuff in Black Market, it is a real shame they are canning it.

It's really just an Over lay of summoners rift. But at the same time, a good testing ground for some of these items. I would like to see the upgradeable minions again at some point. But perhaps not in such a chaotic way.

If we create a new game mode, I think it should have new objectives. The most unique game mode I have played so far is Ascension.
