Sunfire Cape wasn’t changed for balance reasons, it was changed because it was really fucking boring. Something I can get behind. Same as Zhonya’s, IE and now BC changes- they’ll probably remove BC or change the price heavily so they can introduce more carry items. Maybe even more active items.
If you actually wanted to point out Riot are having a bit of trouble, you would have used the words “Cass”, “Ez” or “Recent Galio nerfs”.
Also the less you watch Riot videos, the better. Unless they’re actually directly of gameplay or CG trailers, they’re rubbish.
I don’t mind the change to make the item unique, I’m pointing to the fact they did that and then increased it’s cost?
They needed to change it once they made it unique as it was balanced for holding more then one. What they decided to do however was just stupid.

True, but I personally don’t think HoN is any better in that regard. Or that DotA2 will be.
I guess they were going for double active discouragement, and there was also the issue of the tanky DPS game relying on it (hence the double-whammy nerf). Which better explains it. Not well, but better.
HoN does look tempting, but they’re so different that I’m not sure.
Oh I’m not using this as a plug for HoN (Although I am really enjoying the game), Therlun is just doing his usual.

I wish my connection wasn’t so bad so I could risk playing something other than ARAM.
I’ve been considering HoN since they changed LoL enough to make it a basically different game. As in there’s room for more than one top-down DotA-like now they’re so different.

Their design test for technical designers only judges your creativity and even then after viewing what I submitted them and the champions that have come out since I’m actually pretty insulted.

HoN is still subscription based, correct?

it’s always been free to play monthly, you just have to buy the box.

You can also get unlimited 10 game trials from Alienware Arena.
Just realised I haven’t seen anyone play Annie in weeks - has something happened to her in a patch that I’m unaware of? She seems to provide something useful to a team composition, so what’s the deal?
Also, a couple of great games tonight guys, and I’m finally back at a 50/50 win/loss ratio! Yay!
Also, has anyone ever dropped Morde’s ultimate on Anivia’s egg, then killed the egg? Do you get a pet Anivia out of it? Also, when Ghost Anivia dies she turns into an egg again (sweet!), does ghost Anivia get reborn after X seconds?
Never been able to pull off the above moves - had the egg once, it died to a tower :(
Oh, and can the enemy team see who Zilean has used his ulti on? Can they see the glowing clocks(?)?
There was a huge shift towards tanky dps a while ago that pretty much made nukers pointless. Now that Riot are “addressing” that you might see more of her.
As for your other questions, don’t know about Anivia but yes the enemy team can see the Zilean Ult just as clearly as your team can.
Does Blood Scent reveal Warwick?
Killing their Anivia’s egg while your ult is on it give you a ghost Anivia, which turns into a ghost egg on death/expiry. If/when that egg hatches, you do not get another ghost :(

Yes.
I know someone’s going to have a fit here so I’ll explain- if Warwick can see you with it, you get a debuff that tells you he’s nearby. That’s why it’s a toggle, unless they removed the debuff notification like they did with Veigar.
No, but the other team can see your Blood Scent pop up above their head and know it’s time to get the fuck out of Dodge. That’s why you have to turn it off if you’re trying to run up and gank someone already below half health.
I knew that the blood-eyes showed up… I just wanted to know if I should be worried about being spotted myself.
Thanks for the clarification, folks!
Tanky DPS? Hmm, wish I saw more of it - most pubby games I play I am one of the only two tanky characters, everyone else plays carries!
Who counts as Tanky DPS?
