Damn did I miss the feeling of chasing someone around a table only to have the other person constantly run the other way. Thankfully alcoves fully encapsulate this glorious experience
I’ve had a couple clutch escapes and kills using the Botlane cove. It has its uses but it’s rare
You have summarised the exact intention of the alcove.
It's funny because there's like 50 comments here saying "they only exist for X and nothing else" but yet every comment has a different X. Seems like people are finding lots of uses for them.
I'm actually happy reading this thread for that same reason.
The dragon changes look fun, though I would go harder with the terrain alterations. Also, I would LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE if the map change would be announced for pro players before each match. It would be so cool to have different little metas around the maps. On the flipside, not announcing it would be lame.
Anyway, this patch being okay or even great has nothing to do with alcoves and they serve absolutely no purpose other than making you question why are they even there - if you even remember them being there, because I still play games where I leave my lane without realizing it was even there, which is just... sad.
Don't feel sad! That's totally fine. We're ok for 10 games to go by with no alcove event if the 11th you make a sick outplay (or get outplayed!) in one.
football has been the same for the past 100 years. same pitch same ball same numbers of players on the field . LEAGUE will never be a credible esport with all these changes
Describe a more credible esport than League?
