    I will say that their Sion rework really impressed me. Sion was a character that I played heavily in the beta and in season one and continued to be a pocket character into the later seasons. He was shitty but he was hard to fuck up so if I got stuck mid (support or jungle only pls god nothing...

    League will be forever dead to me when that day comes. Some of us geezers need characters where you just mouse over something and push a button and the thing happens. I also secretly hope Top Lane Nunu will one day reappear. Nunu is the goddamn poster child for "if this character is ever good...

    They should launch League of Legends Classic with the game exactly as it was right after Udyr was launched. New players need training wheels for the genre! Small roster! Point and click abilities! League of Legends Online Adventures, it's time to slay the baron.

    I think it was though. League of Legends had a box release at Walmart and Target even. It was just as much for everyone as World of Warcraft. Over time it has grown into a very complex esports juggernaut and become much less the derp party game. There's nothing wrong with that but it's...

    The mana costs on arcane cannonballs and frost nova with the blight cure talent are fucking insane and she couldn't get out of combat to drink.

    That's a bit odd with League of Legends if you think about it. It was the first game for a bunch of us, at least this kind of game. Defense of the Ancients was niche and difficult to get started with while League was that style of game but accessible. This was the first big esport title for a...

    Randomness as how the players interact with each other and all of the different ways that could play out isn't really randomness. It's a complex system in which all of the interactions between variables make predictions impossible and the final outcome opaque. That can create some really...

    The swerve is the login screen is actually the aftermath of the simultaneous counterattack against Stormwind. The young king was outmaneuvered and paid dearly.

    Related - if you're super poor you can do things like wear heirlooms that are suboptimal. Leather on a plate class, caster cloak on melee, etc. They aren't otherwise restricted.

    Sylvanas is going to lead the Horde to a decisive and lasting victory against the Alliance. Old Gods, the Void, etc. are all macguffins. Just straight up military conquest. No one will have seen it coming.

    Yogg-Saron highlights and lowlights generated massive amounts of clicks and did nothing positive for the game. Viral clips and good gameplay are in entirely different hemispheres. At it's release Hearthstone had some RNG with cards like Ragnaros, Sylvanas, Thoughtsteal, Mind Vision, Arcane...

    Mana issues as a means of giving less experienced players a chance at victory is a horrible argument for that mechanic and I'm surprised to see anyone put it forward. It's the worst part of the game and in today's gaming climate it would hold back the entire property. Watching someone get fucked...

    The Legion influenced him through the wound he suffered. He thought the whispers he heard were the spirits. They were not. There's no grand strategy though. Saragaras just likes pale blue titties.

    An expansion that, at its end, completely reshuffled around who was on what side and then allowed the players to pick a side for themselves at its conclusion would be pretty cool. One of the things happening with the allied races stuff is the idea that the conflict is growing larger and larger...

    Yes, it is hard to imagine that their Chinese overlords (Tencent) are going to decide that a MMO is the next direction that Riot Games should take. MMOs are super expensive, take a long time to develop, and we've had enough of them die over the years to fill a graveyard. WoW took 4-5 years to...

    It's hard to imagine Tencent is going to cut them a massive check to create a brand new MMO when there's so many other ways of expanding the brand. How about a freemium mobile card game? League of Hearthstone? League of Legends the Gathering? What about League of Legends skinned cards that you...

    I haven't played many of Garfield's games but I've liked the ones that I have. If this one happened to be very good and very popular people would just buy piles of decks and you would be playing against the upper end of the bell curve all the time. There would be HearthArena style calculations...

    The remake of Solaris was whatever but it does have this really cool scene where the main character, upon meeting his long dead wife on the space station he's been sent to investigate, puts her on an escape pod and sends here off into oblivion. There's something about that reaction to the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The initial impression I got with the Sargaras cutscene at the end of the expansion was that the part of the sword's influence would be to drive a wedge between the Alliance and the Horde when peace was so close, driving everyone back to war as an act of revenge by Sargaras. The imagery seemed...

    Vanilla being left behind is my experience as well. As a kid when I'd make milkshakes I'd just use all three. Neapolitan shakes have a flavor all their own. Sylvanas isn't a bad person. She just has Cutscene Psychosis and needs help. This guy gets it

    Clearly there's a counterattack against Stormheim while the Alliance is assaulting Slyvanas. She saw it coming, kept herself and enough forces for it to look good at Undercity, etc.

    The remake is about as good as I think anyone could reasonably hope for. Unfortunately it is very much a modern day horror film in that it is not patient. It has more jump scares than it needs and is louder than it needs to be. It would have been much, much scarier if they just took their time a...

    Pagle, Tink, and Sylvanas may all have been changed while the game was still in beta. Counting beta changes is maybe an error?
