I've been watching the stream for the past half hour and I got up to go do something during that match. I was gone for less than a minute and people are going crazy for that Pheonix player. What did he do?

Lost the first game due to wacky buttons, then put phoenix in first. And won. Brutally. Twice. It was a work of art.

From: transience | #066
the MVC3 metagame seems to have evolved to the point where even less guys are viable than MVC2

anyone complaining about Yun should check out the sheer number of Wolverine/Akumas
It's pretty bad but I'm not sure it's at the point where less are viable than MVC2. Wolverine, Akuma, Wesker, Phoenix, Sentinel, Dante, Magneto, Storm, She Hulk, Tronne, Taskmaster, Ammy, etc. Just because we're seeing Wolverine + Akuma every match doesn't mean there's zero depth there. Probably over half the cast is viable.

I think the main problem is that the combo of Wolverine + Akuma is overpowered cause of the crazy synergy of Wolverine + Akuma assist.

Or rather, that Akuma's assist is overpowered, simply. Wolvie does well with almost any assist but it isn't impossible to shut him down if he doesn't have Akuma. When those two are together you have to play really smart to avoid a derp combo killing you.

I'm not following you. Nobody will develop for PS4/Xbox 3? Or for the next Nintendo console?

If it's the latter, I agree. If it's the former... I don't really know what to say to that. Either way, I don't understand what you're trying to say.

No, nobody will develop games with significantly more graphical horsepower because the graphics improve linearly while the costs increase exponentially.

The problem with that is when Sony and Microsoft release their newest consoles in a few years, the tech will be much more advanced then the Wii U. Nintendo will once again be stuck with last gen technology. Third parties who jump to the next gen will once again not downgrade their games to work on the Wii U.

This is a really dumb move on Nintendo's part. The only way I see this working is if they either trash the Wii U altogether (or bulk up the tech big time), or they release another console a few years after the Wii U (basically using the Wii U as a "port" console and ignoring it after). Either way, they shot themselves in the foot with this announcement.

And nobody will develop games for them. You do not realize how game development is doing right now, do ya?

Philo or Tear>Deathcap>Voidstaff or Soulstealer>Rylai's or the other item>etc. etc. Orianna should only autoattack to kill the last remaining enemy champion before pushing or to kill towers. Lich is only if you're absolutely godly at positioning, don't get it otherwise.

what do you do with her, HGR?

Imagine Lux. Now imagine Lux, but with cooldowns a third the length of her current ones, a hard CC, a fourth attack spell, a second support spell/debuff, a better passive, less brutal costs, third layer mindgames with ball redirections, better farming, better scaling, and being a robot. Yes. Orianna seriously does all of that with no exaggeration. She's the one character I'm confident can beat Mordekaiser reliably, to give you an idea of how much I respect/hate her. Her damage values don't take her range OR the fact she has four attack spells into account.

To offer another opinion on HoN: It's a fine game; you should give it a try now that it's F2P. I completely disagree with your suggestion that it follows the MVC3 balance approach, because even in my limited LoL experience I've found that to be the opposite. In my very first game of LoL, I played as a hero who could cast her nuke any and every time it was off of cool down without any regard for mana, and thought this was completely absurd. Then there's my personal favorite LoL hero Kennen, who has infinite mana regen and can do essentially everything you'd want a non-tank to do (nuke, stun, escape, aoe nuke).



I'm willing to walk anyone through the game who wants to give it a try and offer some advice while playing. It could be fun!

Nobody can kill you at level 1 on league solo with no counterplay unless you're ********, Boko, neither can you end up chainstunned by one guy (not even kennen, he can stun for 2 seconds if he's lucky unless you stand there and he stacks AS hard), and now that Tryndamere's been changed nobody can foil your highly superior teamwork and tactics by farming for 40 minutes straight and then 1v5ing you unless he's god. HoN has a ton of seriously, SERIOUSLY unfair stuff that has precisely 0 counterplay available to you, while LoL's only uncounterable strat is carry+support bot. You're thinking of LoL's stuff in HoN terms and it doesn't work because in HoN spells are precious resources, while in LoL they're part of your common arsenal. I'm curious as to what you think is balanced MvC3 style in League compared to permastuns and total CC immunity. There's often something to gleam from an outside perspective.



Really? Name a situation in HoN where a decent team will allow the opponent's carry to farm for that long.


And what kind of unfair stuff is there? Seriously, if you provide examples, thats fine, but if you just spew off crap, then no one with a brain will listen to you.

Read above. I listed three different things about HoN that provide very little room for counterplaying. I invite you to do the same for LoL.

Nah, it's pretty much right. The Statue does one thing right and it's making it really clear that you can carve your own path, but the rest ain't so good and the plot (half the reason to play Deus Ex) doesn't take off until later on. I insist, make a playthrough topic. There's a couple things you need to be aware of to breeze through it ASAP and set the tone for your game - if you wing it it CAN work but a couple tips can smooth things over a LOT.

The sad thing is that their monkey king is actually LESS interesting than ours, relatively speaking. Compared to their current roster he's a super vanilla ganker, while our Wukong is a blinktank, something we previously had none of. His mechanics look more interesting, but then you remember HoN follows the MvC3 balance approach and he looks much less impressive, like Hsien Ko or Ryu would.

The thing is that an "alpha timeline" is actually a simplification of a very tough to comprehend and explain concept, which is the basis of forms of time travel that aren't stable loops. The alpha timeline is, put simply, whatever timeline is most current when it comes to changes made through time traveling. If you cause a change that alters history, history both continues as before AND changes, *because the alpha timeline is a brand new timeline created by your actions*. When you travel through time back to your time, you're not going back to your own time, in truth. You're going back to a new time. Paradoxes *can't* form, and decisions cannot threaten the existence of an Alpha timeline!

apha timeline person trapped in a doomed alternate timeline?

obviously that person was meant to travel to that doomed timeline anyway, meaning he was never really an alpha timeline member. don't feel too bad, you're just doing what you were supposed to.

Doesn't work that way. If there's multiple timelines, the future is not set in stone, that's pretty much the point of branched, non-stable time travel. Choice matters, which means you left a person in a world that will never come to pass, ensuring that their life post-trip will never come to pass either.

Depends on what version of time travel you suscribe to. In general though, life in the core timeline proceeds as it would normally post-event change, except the person isn't there.

Where's the source, though? It wasn't in the patch notes, and the post up there said they wanted to keep her extra nerfed till the remake.

Or are you talking about when she gets her remake they'll go back to that?

No, something glitched and she got her old heal back. It's unmarked because it was unintended. :P

Not for long. Guinsoo knows. It was a mistake. He also had this to say.

I personally have nothing against Eve but others at Riot have determined that we want to keep her overnerfed until the remake is complete.

Am I the only one who sees a huge problem with this?

I can understand getting rid of the stun until the remake, but purposely making a champion suck just to keep them out of the picture seems wrong.

I assume you've played against pre-nerf Eve, bio? Because if not, keep quiet. Nobody liked fighting Eve. Nobody. No top elo player, no scrub, NOBODY. Until she gets her MGS-styled stealth, she's best kept far away from the game.

I don't think it should count though, because not only is Morde the character I know how to crush perfectly, but that guy was terrible. He used exhaust instead of ignite, 'nuff said. I think it's solid though, just need to get an IE or thirster after atma's is complete so as to become really damn scary.

Except that Monkey has an INSANE late game that if taken advantage of with 2 gold pers and high farm means you can pretty much just win the game outright.

Agreed on this - but isn't 7k of setup a bit much, Ermine? I mean, you're counting on your allies to not screw the pooch while you farm like crazy there. Monkey's skill roids aren't good enough to get you through THAT much farming without some item help after all. Wouldn't a decent solotop (because that strategy is obviously not a botlane approach) be able to drive you out?

EDIT: Also, are you certain it could work? Have you faced, like, Urgot, Morde, or any of the other "get outta the lane kiddo" solos yet? If so I might have to give it a spin sometime. I can see how nasty monkey could get with big farm and straight-up skipping ghostblade for a tanky+lategame build.

You went on a tirade a while ago about Ionian Boots being overpriced. They're not because if an item has an 8k gold cost and an active whose effects is making you win, it's not overpriced. Same goes for the Lucid Boots, as the CDR is gloriously useful on a bunch of champs.

And yeah, CDR blues give 6% CDR. The usual 9/0/21 comes out to 15% CDR after all.
