Anyone else find overcharge as a let down?

Very limiting with what marksman champs we can play and even then some of the options suck like hell, of course with vayne being bullcrap as ever by being one of THE BEST picks.

Its like bloodmoon with right clicking only. kiting is nonexistent because everyone is ranged so its just stat-sticking

ThefrostyvikingNov 24, 20173 votes

To be fair, you rarely ever kite in bloodmoon because usually if a fight starts someone dies in 0,5 seconds.

But yah, this mode is also largely about who oneshots the other faster.

I did not have much fun playing it, but that is probably due to the champion and summoner restrictions and lack of runes.

The music, the map, the vision zones, even somewhat the jump zones, I thought there well done and interesting.

Basically I dislike it for the exact same reason I dislike blood moon. You are forced to play it a certain way, even if it might be fun to play it differently.

If I could, I would play Twitch, he's the only marksman I find fun, I like Jinx too but she's trash in this mode.

SteelflameNov 24, 20176 votes

Twitch would be too good in that mode by far. He already thrives on low vision enviroments and attempting to 1v1 enemy ADCs at 1.5 items or so, don't give him his dream scenario where he'd be more busted than an Ezreal is now.

Ez jg should never have been a thing Twitch was originally for jg on release.

Z3SleeperNov 24, 20171 votes

Yeah, back when his W instantly slowed all enemies in a mile radius regardless of whether they had stacks or not.

ThefrostyvikingNov 24, 20171 votes

Twitch is broken beyond belief when the enemy team lacks the CC and vision to instantly shut him down when he goes around.

And he can kill the average marksman in 3 hits with 3 items too.....from twice their range.

Ezreal ruins it for me honestly. He’s so much more mobile compared to everyone else it feels like and he’s practically in every game.

not to mention Riot included AP items in an ADC gamemode

RottedApplesNov 25, 20171 votes

as soon as i saw this i found my one true pick for this game mode.

ap sivir.

Gotta use that Q ratio man, and get a ludens proc on it.

SpoofghoulNov 25, 20171 votes

Sivir item 3146

AwesomeGuyDjNov 24, 20176 votes

lucian is pretty fucking annoying too.

Dragonmage1129Nov 24, 20172 votes

At the very right of the map (not in past the base) there's a platform with a blast cone where only ez can get to without using flash.

SteelflameNov 24, 20172 votes

Wrong. Trist, Lucian, Graves, and a few others can hop that wall without flash, and a part of the point of that one is it is a juke spot where you can blow a flash CD to potentially misdirect the enemy as to where you will go, or even more hilariously, wait out an overcharge if they don't have flash up and are not one of the champs who can easily hit you over that wall, such as Ashe or Sivir.

Succubús GFNov 24, 20172 votes

For me its vayne, being auto condemned sucks

ArakadiaNov 24, 20173 votes

Utility isn't very strong in the mode and dueling feels exceptionally important which causes the champion pool to be limited.

AL000Nov 24, 20172 votes

yes but I found MF, vayne and lucian most powerful ADC ever.

vayne is just way too strong to be fair MF is difficult to defend against and Lucian is just.....URF dashing

AL000Nov 24, 20171 votes

Yes, Just position after Luican dash... or bait him... or drive yourself to the safe/corner position...

It always works. ;]

Troll for TrumpNov 24, 20172 votes

Try AP Ez, Corki, and lethality graves

WaljkyriaNov 24, 20172 votes

It's pure shit. Just a way to promote shitty skins forgotten by most of people. Also a way to create a diversion for real problems: blue essences suck shit.

Athenes LuluNov 24, 20172 votes

It feels like you actually have to be mechanical gods just to play the game mode, at least in Blood Moon you don't right click as much and picking up isn't that hard even if you're almost anti-damage throughout most of League.

I know, I'm just a fucking garbage support main and that I just need to "git gud", but it's kinda painful trying to learn and get a good grasp of that mode.

Yordle XayahNov 24, 20172 votes

It feels REALLY weird... but lets me stack up Tristana games really fast for my profile c:

It's better than URF, I'll tell you that much.

... Yeah, the more URF I play, the more I dislike it. Makes you appreciate how balanced the real game actually is.

nGioNov 25, 20171 votes

That's because you're brainwashed into thinking balance = most fun. I like URF and One For All BECAUSE there is no balance based around it. It's a nice break from the stressful rage fest of 5's ranked, where meta picks and tilted allies suck the fun out of it.

It's actually nice to have some 'fuck around' fun without having to dial up a different game when ranked has me bored or emotionally drained to the point that my body is tired. Riot wants you to think that LC$ Simulator is the ultimate 'fun' experience, but I'm happier than shit when URF rolls around, and I can say "fuck the balance" to roll my face through some crazy games with rl friends and nothing on the line.

Because Riot has everyone believing that ranked SR balance is the ultimate fun, TT will finally breathe it's last breath soon and One For All will probably go another year with shit excuses about the new client.

Yordle XayahNov 25, 20172 votes

Brainwashed? No... URF is a mode where 20 champs are good and whoever gets the most of that pool wins.

You can't "Fuck Around"... try playing something fun like AD Syndra, and you'll be playing at a disadvantage. Next time you're at an URF game and your team's losing 2 - 18, remember how "fun" you claim the mode to be.

One For all, that's fine.

nGioNov 25, 20171 votes

Okay, so "only 20 good champs" and "when you're losing 2-18"? That sounds like ranked SR right now, which you praised for it's amazing balance. Yes, some champions are better than others in every game mode, so what's your point again? I've won games of URF with inferior champions. A team full of Poppy/Skarner/Voli/etc aren't winning shit in ranked, but they can win an URF game. You're a ranked meta slave, so if you don't see a traditional ADC/support bot, you deem it unbalanced and unfun.

There are more than 20 good champs in URF, and getting stomped in a custom game carries no stress. My idea of fun isn't playing AD Syndra in any mode, so I don't even know where you're trying lure me with this one.

Fast paced 5v5 game modes that don't make sense are a breath of fresh air when you've been smashing SR for 8 years. If you don't like them, then no one is stopping you from playing ranked SR.

nGioNov 25, 20172 votes

You obviously care. You care enough to send me pictures, argue about balance, give up the argument, then ask rhetorical questions. Since you asked, I'm just here so you don't get let off the hook for stupid statements.

It's another 'one and done' game mode, like the Thresh game, Nexus Siege, and all of the pve stuff. We see a saturation of the one and dones because it gets us back to playing LC$ Simulator(5v5 SR).

When URF, One For All, or Hexakill come around, I see friends that I haven't seen since last time they were up, rl friends send texts letting me know it's coming, and my friends list is active as fuck. Defend the shitter modes as much as you'd like, but no one is sending texts for Poros, Blood Moon, or pve side projects. I'd like to see some SC2 style Arcade Mode, where everything is always available and the customers get to choose what and when they play, instead of being forced into RGMs like monkeys.

the difference being between this and siege vs. the thresh one is that the thresh one was ACTUALLY fun, and didn't result in you getting pinned to walls by vayne every 5 seconds at any angle she appears from.

RottedApplesNov 24, 20171 votes

i looked at it and was like, oh this is just gonna be twitch/vayne being assassins instead of adcs.

at least twitch is banned from it.

still was pretty unfun to play.

Pandemic PunchNov 24, 20171 votes

-Cool map -Cool music -I hate marksman so I hate this game mode -Would be amazing if it was PvE -Would be cool if you had to sneak around and assassinate key targets without being spotted in some areas -Would be cool if you had to battle it out with machines in other areas with tanks and supports added

Illâoi Evê SiônNov 24, 20171 votes

I love running away when my enemies are powered up. There's this one spot where you can walk in circles from vent to vent, it's fun as hell.

I'm only annoyed by Corki getting the package on no cooldown when he's powered up.

CosnirakNov 24, 20171 votes

I dislike a lot about the mode but I think the worst part is navigating the map. I constantly feel lost and have no idea how to get places fast enough. I think if I played it a bunch and got used to it that would help a lot, but then the mode would end and I wouldn't enjoy that process.

It's a poorly made replica of blood moon, which is somehow LESS fun, requires less of the player, has no unique elements to it, and pretty much is just there to promote the skins
