Sometimes I wish League were more like this

Like League gameplay is nice and all, but sometimes it feels so stale compared to other MOBAs where the combat feels a lot more engaging.

That was less 'engaging' and more "oh look the enemy is blinking every 5-7 seconds while constantly CC'ing and damaging us and turning invisible".

Eh I guess it's just my definition of engaging is different. The Puck in the video is pretty much my skill fantasy wet dream, the amount of decision making and options just appeals to me and makes for great skill expression, whereas a lot of the times in league you need to play specific champions to get this same feel.

Lissandra is basically League's version of Puck.

As a Liss main I'm inclined to both agree and disagree. While Liss is great for practically the same thing as Puck with initiating, nuking and best of all in my opinion, making salt in /all, she's not quite....there. Like don't get me wrong, I love Liss, she's like my soulmate champion. However she kind of gets outclassed at her role these days.

In about the same way that old Sion was League's version of Leoric. I mean, hell, he even had a built-in Armlet!

It's pretty clear that's where the inspiration for Liss came from. She's got the slow moving blink-to nuke, the self-centered AoE (root instead of silence) and she's got Coil and Phase basically in the same ability to provide some decision making. Only major difference is her spammy Q because Mages in League gotta have that spammy stuff to function.

She's not bad. She just ate a bevy of nerfs for the crime of not being Ahri.

Ugh don't remind me. She's taken some pretty big indirect hits too, protobelt nerfs, removal of 15% ap from blue, abyssal changes and Zhonya's gradual nerf, she's suffered a lot more than other mages because of these. Nevertheless, I still enjoy her, I just wish Riot would give her some love every now and then. Like maybe, changing that passive.

I can't make out what is going on who is what where is when and it honestly just looks like a buncha balls bumping up against one another. Seems like a great game.
