League of Legends - Free Talk Tuesday - August 14th

Free Talk Tuesday - August 14th

Posted: 14 Aug 2018 01:42 AM PDT

Hey there, /r/leagueoflegends! I haven't forgotten this time - our Free Talk Tuesday thread is back up and at it! Hope you've all had a good weekend :)

The League's cutest duo (No, not Quinn and Valor, or Xayah and Rakan, or Ezreal and Taric Lux) Nunu and Willump previewed yesterday! For those out of the loop, click here! We've got a little time yet until their full reveal, but now's the time to speculate wildly about what we've seen in the video! Is there anything in particular you think you've figured out? Or do you just wanna talk about how adorable these two are?! Sound off below!

Playoffs are either underway or fast approaching for the pro scene - with Worlds on the horizon, teams are looking to lock in their place in Korea. What teams are you rooting for, or want to see take the Summoner's Cup in the end? I'm a diehard CLG fan so uh....but hey, go 100T!

That's it from yours truly this week, though. Thread's all yours, now! Just remember to abide by our everpresent FTT Rules: talk shop, play nice and as always, have a good week, yo!

Patch 8.16 notes

Posted: 14 Aug 2018 11:00 AM PDT

If Riot really wants to attract new players and keep their user base they should start attending events like the Gamescom again or make their own Blizzcon like events.

Posted: 14 Aug 2018 05:06 AM PDT

Gamescom was always really awesome with Riot there and it drew a lot of attention. There were so many cosplays (there still are tbh even without them) and a lot of people loved it. It was really a Riot event where you could talk to them and hear some awesome things about the game and its development.

Meanwhile going to lcs or worlds games is more like watching soccer games in a stadium. You go there for the game, have a bit of hype before the game starts and after the game everyone instantly goes home. It's not that much of a Riot event and not comparable to Gamescom.

SivHD here to explain Why I don't enjoy LoL anymore, and what I think they are doing wrong. (I saw you guys take a clip of mine out of context as "the reason" and would like to clear that up.)

Posted: 14 Aug 2018 02:40 PM PDT

I saw you guys take a clip from some time ago out of context as "why i quit LoL", my fault ofc for not really giving any other info, as I was trying to dodge heated conversation. but here we are.

If you are someone who enjoys the changes I'm about to bitch about, there is nothing wrong with that. when I say those changes are "wrong" i mean "most players wont enjoy this in the long run" and I stand by those statements.

____

I strongly dislike Riots new core Game design, mostly caused by the champion design.

Champions are becoming overloaded allowing them to do everything, killing a lot of individuality,- with extreme utility causing the big fights to be more and more unpredictable, and the small fights to be very linear shows of dominance. The insane utility in Riots game design disrespects Distance in a way that does not suit the Chess gameplay of Moba. But ofc- players enjoy being spiderman- they enjoy being that problem. So Riot has continued to supply that game-changing demand.

What was once a simple chill 5v5 Chessgame, is becoming more of a jumparound- spellflinging- combat action fueled arena- every year.

____

Strategy - not action combat- is the long-lifeblood of these games. Its why we play League of Legends/DOTA for 10 years, but get bored of Battlerite after 12 days even tho its combat is beautiful. for the past 5 years, Strategy gameplay has been in slow but steady decline in our game.- And crazy action combat fighting gameplay on the rise.

____

Creativity - has also taken many hits, but I find it to be less impactful to the deterioration of the game. creativity and strategy are often the same thing in moba tho- Runes, Builds, and the like. I miss having to choose between Wards, a Powerful item or a quick buff. some Gold-o-time or maybe something crazier. I miss my team being happy when I buy that ward, and I miss my team being mad at me when I Choose to buy some power instead,- because choices are fun. They fuel that strategic feeling. the feeling that your choices - not just your action combat OP SKILLZ - had impact.

____

I think players are often not aware exactly when, how, or why they stop enjoying a game. What is indirectly causing their frustration, toxicity, or boredom? This can make it very difficult for game designers to pinpoint why their playerbase is leaving. but that is their job. and Riot game designers have the least clue of all. I aim to be a great game designer, and I still have a mind-boggling amount of stuff to learn. But at least I am aware of these things. Aside from just making some variety content, I would enjoy making a video series about Game design tropes, recurring mistakes or cool ideas in game design,- stuff like that. to further talk these things over, to share my vision on gaming while I work on my own one. brainstorming these things together is great, and now that I am loosening up my youtube channel - those things are totally on the table. I realise fully that just making more LoL best moments would net me wayyy more views, but I really dont want to do that any more.

PS: Shoutout to the great art team at Riot, they are still doing an ever-increasing amazing job.

PPS: Despite my salt I want you guys to know that every smile I had playing that game was genuine (Even in the latest videos) I had a great time. I also fully understand there are players that simply enjoy the current action packed LoL more, and that is okay. Many of you will not be as interested in seeing my format thrown at other games, but maybe games in the future will unite us again. see you later virgins

Former rank 1 Revenge’s thoughts on LCS players and streamers

Posted: 14 Aug 2018 12:50 PM PDT

Go above mastery. Achieve greatness. (Achievements concept)

Posted: 14 Aug 2018 04:54 AM PDT

Go above mastery. Achieve greatness. (Achievements concept)

Go above mastery. Achieve greatness

Warning : This is a traduction of my french thread. I'm a french player and my english may not be perfect, so please, do not hesitate to correct my mistakes and/or reformule my sentences.

I'm here to introduce a concept which took me a lot of time to prepare.

Before we start, I'd like to introduce myself : I'm StormzCrew, I started playing League 5 or 6 years ago and I'm a passionate gamer and an I.T. lover!

Achievements is a very popular mechanism among video games and I really wish it will be implemented in one of my favorites game, League Of Legends!

But what are achievements?

The achievement system is a common thing in the video game industries and you probably already know it or something similar such as: successes, achievements, exploits…

It's simple, you collect a prize list of different action that may be hard and keep a track of those achievements. For me, the pleasure is here, in the principle of a collection, and the pride to accomplish a really hard achievement! Do you even remember your first league game? Or your first Pentakill? I think it's really satisfying to watch back our own successes with a little nostalgia, remembering our good old moments on this game.My Achievements system would fit in time and follow players throughout their progression. For this, a special tab would be dedicated to it in the "collection's" interface.

Of course, this prize list is not an essential feature, but I think it would add a little something more to League of Legends.Here is the Achievements interface I designed:

This is the general interface of achievements.

Achievements' visual are composed by several small cases with a title, a goal, a progress bar, an indication of the level of difficulty and the game mode in which the achievement is achievable. There are several types of achievements: some are general, some are reserved for champions and other special achievements. We will see examples a little bit further!

This is a case of an achievement

What would achievements bring in League of Legends?

It goes beyond a simple collection. This system will give a new goal to players and will break the monotony of some games. Also, it will allow players to discover new horizons and will encourage some people to play new champions or other game modes. It will be an accessible and motivating system for all players, even beginners.

Whether ranked or not, and in different games mode, achievements are very diverse, but they must respect some conditions…

1- Do not interfere with the game during a game !

Of course, do not prejudice the gameplay in progress... As soon as I started working on my concept, my first thoughts was to bring a small additional goal to start a game of League of Legends. That being said, it should not conflict with the objectives of teammates or opponents during the game. The goal of this system is not to induce a player to succeed an achievement at the expense of the first game goal: to win and help his teammates.

2- No confusion: the Missions are the Missions! Achievements are Achievements!

The 2nd point is to make sure not to encroach on the territory of the Missions recently added to the game. The utility of the Achievements is not to obtain a particular reward but to collect them, to compare with friends and to remember back some moment. Missions and Achievements are two very distinct things, it is important to note it.

3- Bad Achievements? A bad idea!

As said in the first point, achievements should not prejudice on the gameplay. Initially, I thought that it would be fun to add 2-3 "Bad-Luck Achievements" such as : "Die 10 times in the same game", "Lose the game without destroying a single enemy turret" or "Get kicked by the Leaverbuster". The idea came to my mind because during our time on League of Legends we have all been at a point confronted to a very bad game or the need to be absent during a game. I thought that 2-3 Bad Luck Achievements wouldn't hurt with a humorous title and a limited number. But after reflection, I decided that it was a false good idea... Imagine that some people never die more than 10 times in the same game or that players are never AFK; They might be tempted to do it on purpose, and that's not the goal at all. So I just abandoned the idea of that kind of Achievements.

4- Do you know how far those data go?

How much player data are kept by Riot Games? Personally, I do not know exactly. I have seen, over time, that League of Legends keeps a lot of game's data. That's why we have a lot of details about our accounts! For example, the season 7 report, which was delivered to us at the end of the season.The Achievements system I present are limited to my knowledge of current data utilization. But how far can those possibilities go? Only Riot knows it!

5- Achievements for all!

Achievements that can only be achieved through Skins or available with RP contents? Why not! But for the moment I would like everyone to have a chance to achieve those without necessarily paying... That's why, for the moment, I do not propose an example, even if I have already worked on it, because skins are also a part of the game.

-6 Come on! Maybe a little reward?!

Even if it is not the goal of the Achievements, small rewards can also be unlocked, such as Summoner Icons or Emotes, without excess, to not collide with Missions (as stated in paragraph 2). For example, arriving at a total of 150 Achievements could earn you a Summoner icon.

There are 3 types of Achievements:

General Achievements: These are mainly the Achievements you unlock during your journey on league, from a number of victorious game to the number of minions you killed since you started League.General achievements also include special Achievement only available on normal or ranked mode.

This is a case of an achievement

Achievements for Champions: As its title indicates, these are all the Achievements concerning the champions. For the moment, the champion system works in a very precise way. The 1st success will ask you to play for the 1st time the said champion, the 2nd will be a success based on one of the 3 base spells of the champion Q, W, E, (depending of the champion), the last success will be based on an action with the ultimate of your champion.

Here is the Champions Achievements category

Special Achievements: In this last part, all the Achievements of game modes, events or even out of the game Achievements are gathered. This part can bring together more "fun Achievements" and very special ones...

Here is the category of special Achievements

Due to the high number of Achievements I already created, here are some more visual examples of the different categories

Achievements for assistances

Achievements for Poppy

Achievements for Poppy

Achievements for Poros, U.R.F and Jean-Michel

Achievements for Poros, U.R.F and Jean-Michel

I would like to bring attention to a particular type of Achievement that you may have noticed in my examples, these are the hidden Achievements. These Achievements do not show their instructions unless you achieve them!

This is the case of a hidden achievements

Statistics are cool!

As a big fan of statistics, I like to have lots of details about when and how. That's why I wanted to integrate a new page with new informations, and also show the rarest or most difficult Achievements to unlock!

Statistics interface

Statistics interface

Notifications for completed Achievements

After a successful completion, it appears in the already existing notification area of the launcher.

**Additional idea: A message in the chat?**I was quite divised about this idea. At first, it sounded to me like a good idea! But after a careful consideration, this may not be the best idea I had. Of course, I only want the most difficult and rarest Achievements to be notified in the chat but would it add something ? Give your opinion!

Bonus: There's the different looks that achievement passed by during the conception.

https://i.redd.it/9ls3t78km2g11.jpg

Thank you for taking the time to read everything!

This conclude my presentation. And I had a lot of fun looking for different ideas and spending time on my concept. I do not hide it: it took me a lot of time and I worked really hard on this, but after several versions, I am really proud of the result! At this time, I realized visuals for more than 176 Achievements.If you have any question, do not hesitate to ask! Whether in private or in comments. I did this work globally alone, but two persons helped me a lot.

Thanks to the three persons who helped me with the translation and the corrections of this contents!

- VM Kletchkovsk

- LordCaelistis

On this words, I leave you, waiting for the pleasure of killing you on the field of justice!

Newnu and Willumps skins will be the only skins that are canon

Posted: 14 Aug 2018 07:17 AM PDT

acording to his new lore the blue gemstone around his neck that Willump was protecting has yeti magic that can make nunu's imagination into reality

so whenever a newnu has a skin equiped they're playing pretend

and i think thats amazing

can't wait to meet you "in person" newnu

EDIT: Ok i guess maybe there are some other skins that are canon. And one that is cannon (ironside malphite)

Today I got the Pro Player experience of a Lifetime thanks to Chiefs eSports and Riot OCE

Posted: 14 Aug 2018 12:43 AM PDT

I am not a Pro player but thanks to the Hammond Care Dreams Program, Riot Games and Chiefs eSports Club the day of a Lifetime was planned for me.

Today I was invited by Riot Games to play some show matches with my Favorite team Chiefs eSports in order to give me the experience of being a Pro Player.

Some back story behind this is

I am only 24 years old Have untreatable and incurable blood mutations (around a 1 in 300 million chance to have) that cause my blood to clot uncontrollably. I get and currently have blood clots in both legs, both lungs, my entire blood vessel that leads to the heart (Inferior Vena Cava).

This has caused me to get late stage 3 possibly stage 4 heart failure and has made it impossible for me to do any physical activity, even game. When I play video games it has to be laying down and I have to fully concentrate on every breath I take or else I can pass out from loss of oxygen to the brain.

I have had a heart attack and 2 strokes so my brain function is slower than others and this was caused by clots respectively. I don't have long to live a sad but true fact. Being a professional gamer was my dream ever since I discovered I had mutations. League is my Favorite game and the Chiefs are my heros!

We played 2 games and my account name is CHF Irelia. Riot eGym and Benji were the ones doing commentary and what we did was mix up Chiefs and Rioters to play with and against me.

Game 1 Vod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t06n-d8cNDI

Game 2 Vod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOyR1B5aNck

After the games were done Riot gave me a Goodie bag filled with Stuffed Poros and a Limited Edition Teemo figurine, and Chiefs Swip3rR gave me his OPL Finals Jersey from last split. This has to be the greatest experience of my life despite my hardships. And as a token they also let me Keep the Riot account so I could experience the skins and champions I haven't used.

Edit: Removed Twitter links to follow subreddit rules

Also feel free to AMA. Any rude comments or making fun of my appearance will get you deleted.

I need help convincing my friend that it is more efficient to put your effort into climbing to Gold 5 then it is trying to place into gold 5 and creating a new account everytime you don't place in Gold.

Posted: 14 Aug 2018 06:53 AM PDT

My friend is a fairly new player (about 1 year). He has improved significantly, I would say he is around high silver now. He has a very interesting mentality that i've never seen before. In his eyes, it is much easier to try to place in gold. So he ends up playing ~100 games pre level 30, then 10 placement games hoping he will place in gold. I tell him that if you instead play those 100 games on one of your already placed accounts, you will climb to gold if you are good enough. He thinks that there is too much luck involved and that he will get matched with bad players and drop divisions (Every time he has started trying to climb he would quit after about 25 games because he would drop elo and divisions and in his mind it's out of his control). So he would rather put his season on 10 games and hopefully get a lucky win streak and go 9-1 and place gold. He is constantly checking his mmr and the mmr of his teammates and opponents after every game. He really believes he should be in gold.

What is everyones thoughts on this? Better to place into the elo you want or climb there?
