Why do my tower icons look like they were drawn with a crayon?

as head toaster of the "toaster's of legends" Amumu how is the new rift going to effect the poor people who can only afford the 5 year old toasters? and can we expect better ping times after all the data collected this year on pings? Revive my faith in LoL, yours truly taoster king of ToL

for the toaster question the new map is a different format its basically a painting so your computer actually has to do less but it makes it look a bit cartoony but i really like it

Crayola working with rito confirmed

Kayleb5 votes

We're talking about League here. Teemo is a champions in league, remember this. Crayola = crayons. There are 12 crayons in one Crayola box. There are 3 primary colors that are in the Crayola boxes. 3 is a number. Multiply the number of crayola boxes by 2, you should get 2 if you are a mathematician like me. Add 2 to 3. You get 5. There are five points in a star. Remember Teemo? Teemo=Satan.

I also find that the new icon color for the red turrets is harder to see against the background. I am red-green colorblind playing with colorblind mode on and I have to strain to see what turrets are still up for the opposing team. while this isn't a huge deal I feel like it definitely needs more attention. Plz upvote so this gets some attention.

Taihus12 votes

Finally, a legitimate concern.

I am also super colorblind. Not enough games really help with this or care. I mean in some there are "colorblind modes" but they either don't help or cause mega eyestrain.

my friend doesn't have a normal toaster he has a wooden toaster powered by a hamster running in a wheel. I don't think the new map should affect the life expectancy of his hamsters though, seeing as each one only lives about 30 minutes before they drop dead of exhaustion.

About the "Explore the new Summoner's Rift," I found something... strange. Look into description about the Gromp, read carefully. Having enjoyed League’s fastest growth spurt since Lulu ulted Zac with homeguard boots and six warmogs, Gromp’s quickly made quite the impact on the Rift. Kill the big guy for gold! See anything weird about it?!

Extra item slot confirmed.

MasterKief4 votes

No, I don't. Gromp reverts back to a small, normal sized toad when you defeat him.

Look again... and again. and AGAIN til you find that weird thing. :|

He's kind of a standout.

Couldnt it be a good idea for a tower to have a sort of AoE damage so a single super tank like rammus couldnt hold the entire aggro while the rest of the team beats it down?

Prospekts15 votes

The beam at the inhibitor turret is probably sufficient enough. After all, it does deal item 3078 and is made in the USA.

Will the new Summoners Rift include Battle Toads?

For my opinion, we should have 2 summoner rift's map still because every time when i look at the new minions i felt like im playing lego.

Will the S.R. update make me lag more?or should i say decrease my FPS?

DarkRaider87019 votes

It will not affect your FPS. As a matter of a fact, it should increase it because of less clutter in the actual design of the map and the files containing it.

My only real question is about the new itemization diversity. Everything is being tuned, tweaked, and prunned to fit what Riot consideres a good experience. I think the majority of the player base agrees with "most" decisions Riot makes. In game, there are 2 items, item 3141 and item 3041 ....this only shows love to AP and AD champs who are far enough ahead to be able to purchase and use these items to their full effect. Why not item for the tanks, for all the bruisers who just want to disrupt stuff? Why do only the AD champs and AP champs get to have an awesome item like this?!?
