Overcharge isn't as good as I expected

It feels rather pointless other than trying out skins in a new map.

Compared to other gamemodes, Nexus Siege, ARURF, ARAM, etc. it feels bad and dull. I'd rather just have hexakill with ADCs than this.

This mode is fucking stupid. Get 5 minions = invincibility. The skill. Wow.

I'm not sure who allowed Vayne to be in a mostly dark map with cramped corridors to condemn you into everywhere.

And then there's Ezreal building AP in an ADC game mode.

Riot, why would you put AP items in an ADC game mode.

Is no one going to talk about the camera? It bugs me a lot.

Didn't really like it either. Cool idea. But could've been better executed.

So many tiny spaces with limited vision. I would rather have an open field with more vision when playing AD's. Thought it was gonna be a pretty chill 5v5 similar to the Blood Moon event.

Full vision wide open field the size of Ascension's middle ring with only rocks and such to break up the map. Maybe the rocks could block projectiles.

This would make a great Blood Moon map though. Should just port the game mode over to this map, could keep the project theme too, maybe even the Overcharge mechanic.

All these stealth and mobility map functions are wasted on bland old ADCs.

I was against a Lucian who would just bounce back and forth between the air things and dash away if you interupted him. All the way hitting you with q auto when you follow across the path before he went in again. I mean good play by him, but it was an awfully boring experience to play the chase game for pretty much ever.

It's actually bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit. Forces all runes on same champs because they all work the same way. Stupid fucking visibility. Can't even buy tabi boots. It's all garbo. Save yourself the time and ignore it.

Runes are disabled in this mode, so they're all the same because they don't exist.

Exactly what I said.

Downvote me all you want. I'm still right! >:D

There are no runes... that's not exactly what you said.

Implying this is a bad thing

Against all ADC? Yeah, it is.

I enjoyed it for what it was, a quick fun game mode. I think a 6v6 with 200 score not 50 would be manically fun too.

invisiblecat1Nov 23, 20173 votes

I kinda like it, my only complaints are

1.) The Blast Cones as transportation is incredibly annoying to use

2.) The air vents are kinda stupid, and need an individual cooldown, that way whenever the enemy gets overcharged, you can't just hop between two of them, over and over again

ofc its not fun, its just braindead right clicks standing there autoing each other rofl. Really high skill cap combat (not like its 3 dravens vs 3 dravens). The new game mode just kinda consolidates Riot's bias in the last few months.

Z3SleeperNov 23, 20173 votes

Sadly same... it's just so... dull. ADC's just don't have much room to outplay each other.

It is exactly as bad as I expected.

NulaiNov 23, 20173 votes

The map is so squishy and its full of walls.U always missclick or lose ur target in the shadow areas.This is the worst map i ever played.And im a main adc btw ...

TWOHORNUNICORNNov 24, 20173 votes

This gametype sucks so hard. I didn't think game modes could get much worse than the Thresh one but I was wrong. This is just terrible

Solidair3Nov 23, 20172 votes

I do like it, but I feel certain marksmen are favored over other. Both Ezreal and Vayne have high strengths, whereas Sivir and Varus seem a bit weaker in this mode.

Though this may have more to do with Ezreal and vayne specifically, but I will say condemn is very powerful on Substructure 43.

I think this mode will be improved for its second iteration once they've had some time with feedback.

VanidinNov 23, 20172 votes

I hate it, just gonna have to skip the event this time... 8-10 minutes of chasing the other team around and hopping back and forth on vents whenever they get 5 minions before you... just boring.

VexingRavenNov 23, 20172 votes

Not sure why we need an ADC gamemode when ADCs are already the center of the game, tbh.

Binding EclipseNov 23, 20172 votes

It's flashy and all, but the games are too short and just not fun.

Yeah, it is a cool concept but....

I love the game mode... But my only complaint is that there is no Twitch item 3070 .

Raven RedeemedNov 23, 20171 votes

I really enjoy it. The whole hide-and-seek aspect is so fun with all the steam vents, corners, blast cones, teleporters, tracking lights, and perma-visable areas.

Played one round on PBE and was bored of it. Only doing it now for the rewards, and I'm dreading every second of it. Feel like it's a missed jab at the good ol' days when custom Hide n Seek games were a thing. This is more like a crappy action movie that would get a 12% on Rotten Tomatoes.
