Adding a 5 tier unit at the start of the game to help players from going the same comp every game

FQVBSina·Nov 1, 2019·5 votes·4,524 views

Each player is given a tier 5 unit at the very beginning (not deployable until level 5 or something) and is guaranteed to have a much higher chance of getting that tier 5 unit.

This will make strategizing more interesting and slightly remove some of the RNG in terms of final comp since the player must play whatever he can get in original RNG, and want to converge towards the given tier 5 after level 7.

This can also help to not have everyone going for the same comp every game.

Makes too much of a rush for levels because of the strength of a free r5. Also creates too much of a potential free win for comps like nobles, where they rely on specifically getting Kayle to win.

Also fucks over whatever poor guy gets handed Miss Fortune or whatever other mediocre rank 5(s) there are in s10.

It's...an idea. And comes from a decent place. But the drawbacks are a bit much.

Maybe it becomes available after a certain round, rather than level?

If the game makes these adjustments then it should be more straight forward on how the tier 5s can be balanced as well. There is still a comp differential but I am hoping the game moves towards a holy-trinity style in the sense that comps are somewhat of a counter to each other instead of just having one be stronger. And comps being countered can relieve the counter by mixing up the comp with another synergy. I think this part is really missing in the game.

i dont understand how this idea is supped to "make strategy more interesting" when everyone is just going to build whatever comp their 5 star is.

oh i got a kaisa, im going voidssassins, oh i got a swain, i'm going shapeshifters.

seems like you're taking the majority of the strategy OUT of the game by doing this

I agree with this.

You have a point that this seems to decide the final choices but it certainly does not take way strategy since you are only given higher chance for that tier 5, nothing says the player gets more chance at other void assassins throughout the game.

And you are saying that as if people are not beelining for one comp right now anyways. At least this may force them to not just single-mind on the same comp every game.

the only thing this idea would accomplish is LESSENING the amount of strategy

giving people free 5's and a higher chance at THAT ONE GUY mean they will only go for that, this would happen FOR SURE probably 90% of the time. how many people are going to sell a free kaisa that they get from the start to build a diff comp? some many but the vast majority wont, ESPECIALLY when you consider the fact that those hero's are now OUT of the shared pool therefore making it harder for anyone else to find them

if you want more strategy this is not how you do it

that is truly a horrible idea, a guaranteed 5* in late game or after raprtors would be something acceptable, but that is just madness and the game could be decided by the first pick, a.k.a if someone get kayle or swain you can alerdy surrender.

Are you talking about the strength differentials of the tier 5s or did you misunderstood about the status of the tier 5 I mentioned? It is not deployable nor can you sell it or anything. it is more of an indicator more than an actual unit.
