Champion design idea: Ghostcrawler, Ruiner of Games

YourAreMyQueen·Jul 3, 2018·79 votes·18,414 views

Passive: Every 5 minutes you have the ability to create a new item or passive of your choosing. Q: Immediately buff the champion you are playing for the remainder of the game. W: Create an entirely new champion or class if you're not winning the game. E: Completely change the rune system to make the game faster, more exciting, and fun (and also easier for your champion to win)! R: Ignore all criticism and claim one doesn't need to actually play the game to win, they just have to exist (oh and just instantly kill everyone on both teams, all towers, and on second use the enemy Nexus).

Hey GC sry if this might be a personal question, you don't need to answer it if you don't want to but, what exacly happened at Blizzard? Did you rly get fired? Or you quit on you own? And why?

DeathBurstJul 4, 20185 votes

No he didn't really get fired. He already answered this question on Tumblr (at least, and probably many other places as well). Dig a bit in the archives of https://askghostcrawler.tumblr.com/ and you should find it.

Hey,

I just wanted to say that most of us really appreciate the work you're doing and understand that most of the time there's not a single person to blame for the mistakes that are bound to happen.

Keep being awesome! [slayer-jinx-catface]

The only person I truly hate with a passion in Riot Games is DefinitelyT. I really can't handle another champion of his. I think the next one he makes is when I finally say goodbye. But as far as I'm aware, you're the first person I have ever seen say GhostCrawler is awesome. (How I feel about ghost crawler is neither here nor there)

I think you're reaching when you say "most of us really appreciate the work you're doing..." when you only received 4 upvotes for this while the post specifically hating him receives 20+

Most = Majority.

TerozuJul 4, 20183 votes

Upvotes really arent indicative until they hit the thousands.

And its CertainlyT.

And I love his champs, can't wait for Akali.

Magic Wizard JoeJul 6, 20181 votes

I said DefinitelyT on purpose... If that somehow wasn't obvious to you.

TerozuJul 6, 20183 votes

There is literally no visible reason for it so no it wouldnt be obvious.

Magic Wizard JoeJul 12, 20181 votes

Why are you so lame? Like I mean You're actually a depressing kind of lame.

TerozuJul 12, 20182 votes

...Are you a child?

Magic Wizard JoeJul 12, 20181 votes

No I'm 19. But now I'm betting you're pretty old. Which would explain this sort of dreadful feeling I'm experiencing as this conversation with you goes on.

TerozuJul 12, 20181 votes

Sorry but no 19 year old would ever use "lame" in a convos even online.

And just because your 'joke' is unfunny you try to insult me.

I'd guess youre like 13-15

Magic Wizard JoeJul 12, 20181 votes

Teenagers don't use the word lame? Lmao alright old man. You're the one with all the jokes I see.

TerozuJul 12, 20182 votes

No Teenagers use it.

Young teenagers, between 13 and 15/16.

And by the time they hit 17-18, they realize it has absolutely no impact as an insult and stop using it.

Furthermore if you are 19, I'm younger than you.

And who the fuck still thinks of old man as an insult at all?

Like fucking seriously, if you are your claimed age(which is tbh doubtful af) you have never learned how to properly insult someone. And that's kinda, just... sad. Like, really fucking sad.

You're the one who got offended that your joke wasnt funny.

Magic Wizard JoeJul 13, 20181 votes

You must of never heard of an anti-joke old timer. It wasn't suppose to be funny.

I just wanted to say you're one of the worst designers in the history of gaming. That's how you'll be remembered; for being so bad at your job.

Even if all the criticism on the boards were to be true, this would still be quite a stretch... might I remind you that games like Ghostbusters 2016 (just to make an example) actually exist and were released?

Passive: "Leave" other companies because he prefer Riot´s way to be about feedback. Ignores all the feedback.

SaiannaJul 3, 20181 votes

Leave or get fired?

Either way getting to Riot at that point wasn't hard, he made a wise choice either being kicked around and blamed in Blizzard/WoW or come as ascended being into small shack of a newly made game company that would treat him like a god.

RayetJul 4, 20182 votes

Good thing WoW has become an amazing game after he left and is not losing players at all. And Legion is the best expansion ever!

SaiannaJul 4, 20182 votes

just cause he left doesn't mean there weren't more guys like him. Don't be stupid, c'mon.. Try harder.

Idk man I think riot will need to buff him. Those garbage abilities will get slaughtered in this damage meta.

KairoptraJul 3, 201814 votes

This. This is why Riot doesn’t want to listen to the Boards. This is why Gameplay is a joke. Can you maybe shitpost in M&G or at least GD?

Tarquin96Jul 3, 20185 votes

No,this isnt the reason riot doesent listen to gamepaly boards,its the 900 shit posts that do nothing except vent and rage about a champion , this is obviusly a joke and might get removed by mods for wrong section

GayFluffyUnicornJul 4, 20183 votes

What is left other than shitposting about these shitty designers? Are we all forgetting who is responsible for how garbage this game is right now?

I don't want them to listen. They all disqualify themselves every single patch, every single quick madmans thoughts, every single forum post of ghostcrawler back in the day.

I want them to get fired so league might still have a future.

KairoptraJul 4, 20182 votes

I’ve seen plenty of your comments and posts, and here’s my advice: quit for your sake. You can only blame your frustration at the devs so much for your negativity; I think at this point it can only be said that you’re just a hateful person. I mean, you didn’t post such a negative reply that somehow tries to justify what was clearly a shitpost that wasn’t meant to be taken seriously because you were coming off of a bad game. You did it because you feel like it. Let me break it down for you: If your outlook on the game is so bleak that the only avenue to success that you see is firing integral people and starting over with people who haven’t worked on it at all before due to your burning hatred toward Riot, which you feel the necessity to post about online regularly, don’t you think that says something about you? Wouldn’t you want to remove such a big cause of your negativity? Are you a masochist or something? If the only thing you find any reason to post on here is your hate (and no, I don’t just mean “hate” as I’m complaints; I mean legit, actual hate), then why do you continue?

GayFluffyUnicornJul 4, 20182 votes

I was coming off a bad game? Do you have some psychic abilities i'm not aware of? And do you have anything substantial to say? I really don't need a hobby psychologist thank you, i'm fine.

These people aren't integral the game was better off without them.

NevrankroatonJul 3, 201811 votes

GJ on the upvote farming technic.

Hope it reward you approprietly.

SaiannaJul 3, 20186 votes

Stating a fact is now upvote farming? Okay, then.. Sun is yellow and hot Water is blue and cold Ghostrawler sucks major ass at game design (well maybe I exaggerated a bit. he doesn't suck at it, but he forced totally different kind of game upon LOL than it used to be, pretty much ruining it for "some" of us) Earth is brown and dirty Air is airy

Now, upvote me! My back hurts from all the serious upvote farming. i have to feed my family!

NevrankroatonJul 3, 201811 votes

You just made a scapegoat to follow a narrative.

It is as relevant as some very specific president tweet in term of actual fact.

It is actual upvote farming in the antichamber of frustrated child that is the board.

SaiannaJul 3, 20184 votes

Game's changing exactly in the same direction for last 5~seasons which is make it shorter, faster, flashier with damage on top. That is Ghostclawler doing. I remember old WoW fans were very unhappy with him too, you wanna know why? Because of the same reasons.

It's not me trying to make scapegoat, it's just you now knowing the facts defending the guy that wanted to make twitch-reflex-based game that couldn't be made out of WOW, so he moved to Riot and tried it here.

I'm not saying the guy is bad, but what he wants to make of this game just doesn't work well for us.

HalcyonDwellerJul 3, 20186 votes

Where did you get the idea that he left WoW for LoL because he wanted to make reflex games?

And the shorter game times? That's not a Ghostcrawler initiative, that's something pushed for by internet cafes.
