poll + opinion about plants.

Dracocrash··2 votes·490 views

Ok, first of let me start by saying this is a thread where we can exchange opinions. No opinion is "right" or "wrong" unless it has a factual error. So If i make one please feel free to correct me.

This is my opinion, I want to know if in general, the boards likes or hates plants, because I'm seeing a mixed reaction right now. (some support, some don't)

I'd also like if you could give me a reason you like/dislike plants (if you have any)

My OPINION- I dislike plants. After playing multiple games with them, I feel like they are nothing more than a gimmick and feel extremely forced. I'll go over each plant 1 by 1.

Boom boom plant - By far the worst plant according to me. God forbid, you manage to catch an irritating mobile champion with all his abilities on cd , but there just happened to spawn a boom boom plant in that location, and he takes it and fly's away with your elo. I would say this plant would be much less annoying if it had a change like- "this plant can only be activated if the user hasn't taken damage in the last 4 seconds". (again this an opinion).

Ward plant thing - one word. Overpowered. Was on my way to ganking bot from mid, happened to come across this plant, hit it for lulz. Disabled 2 wards placed by their excellent support, allowed me to gank and get a double, even though I did not deserve it. (because they were well warded).

plant that makes you fat- Can't complain much about this. Except you know....random spawn location..

I dont really mind them that much except for 2 reasons:

  1. I cant see where the fuck they are unless I had vision of them at any point, so if I dont have wards in enemy jungle I cant have info about plants over there

  2. they have retarded click box, today I was running from enemy as Ezreal, I was about to get my E and as I walked into my jungle there was a plant I tried to get around it but I started autoing it causing me to die for no fucking reason

What I also dislike about each of them:

  1. why the hell does scrying plant reveal objects such as wards, traps etc ?

  2. blast cones spawn waaay too many times and are used rarely to the point that I start destroying them just in case so that enemy doesnt bounce from mid to bot because there are like 3 of them at the same time

I've been playing some jungle recently, (not enough) and I really like the new jungle. To be honest, the plants are hard to get used to, and so far the scrying plant has been the most game-changing, but it's hard to gauge exactly how it works at first. Personally, I'm just really happy that I have the freedom to gank more aggressively, and plan my clear entirely on how I want to gank instead of on how I need to clear. That said, I've already discovered that starting blue feels a lot stronger since I can both have the mana and health for strong ganks at levels 2 and 3. Currently I think the blast cones are really cool but mostly useless, the honeyfruit is excellent, but of limited usefulness, and the scrying plant is powerful but too awkward. So I think that the plants are cool but need changes. Thematically, I like the Honeyfruit best because it grows on the walls. And I almost wish we had more vines or something. But in terms of gameplay, I haven't seen much of an impact yet. I think the biggest effect will be Scrying plants and then blast cones, since late game, blast cones will provide indirect CC whenever teams fight in the jungle.

My conclusion: I love the new jungle; and the plants are 'meh.'

i just want plants to be gone, because the game was already good without them.

Dracocrash1 votes

well that is one thing I cannot agree with.

I DO want plants gone, (or atleast reworked to a certain extent)

But even if this game is already good, we can't shoot down ideas that might make it potentially better. (but plants is definitly not one of those ideas to make it better)
