rages quietly

A chain of games with absolutely terrible players has me kind of angry right now. Had some leavers, had a Taric who autoattacked the lane down, using Shatter to farm, and was perpetually oom because he spammed shatter, had a LeBlanc who went mejai’s and Lichbane while feeding, it just goes on and on.

you saw similar rage from me up thread. I’m on a bit of an upswing now. It really sucks when you solo queue and get a run of bad luck.

I am extremely excited about the new game mode. Of course it’s going to ruin their precious balance but that’s a small price to pay for a big overhaul to the genre.

AaronSofaer · 2011-08-04T15:50:37.000Z

Apparently what I need to do to break my losing streak is go back to playing Ryze.

Just absolutely demolished a game with him. We aced them twice by 18 minutes. Good times!

Is the new game mode going to be like Twisted Treeline where characters aren’t specifically balanced for it at all? It’s nice that they have a large enough user base that having three game types isn’t going to split it enough to have a negative effect.

chequers · 2011-08-04T15:58:12.000Z

Well there will be map-specific item changes, which they can probably do a lot with.

I foresee Heimerdinger being king of the mountain or dominion or whatever the fuck.

If there’s anyone that is more powerful at standing in one spot than Heimerdinger, I’d like to hear about them.

Well teemo ofcourse!

Here’s my tier list prediction:

Heimer, Shaco
Supports (imagine a heimer with Soraka standing behind him)
Everyone not mentioned
Hard carries
Morde

Pogo · 2011-08-04T16:51:24.000Z

I dunno, I might put Nasus in there, or anyone with a very large AoE really. Maybe, I dunno, I’m not sure I understand the mechanics of what they’re trying to do.

Pantheon, Twisted Fate.

Morde

No way. Morde is excellent at standing in one spot for a while.

MrCoffee · 2011-08-04T17:23:43.000Z

Only if he has sufficient amount of minions at all times :p

bluemax · 2011-08-04T17:46:29.000Z

Mundo goes where he pleases.

Also I could see Shen being annoying in dominion.

I was totally going to say that!

Hopefully there being actual videos and people playing Dominion means that it’ll show up in a few months, unlike Magma Chamber and the stealth rework which are stuck in development hell.

First game as Vlad. Other team surrenders…

All MX. I fed, hard.

maxle · 2011-08-04T21:39:51.000Z

Not as hard as that terribad pubbie Amumu. Junglers these days, I swear…

All noodly’s fault. I have no idea why we play with that one!
hahaha

As far as I can see champs with some kind of internal speed increase and the ability to move around unseen are going to be at a big advantage. Which is good because most of those champs are currently only middling at best (Miss Fortune, Twitch).

They said its going to be released a bit after PAX.
