Who are all of these jokers? I've been moderating for hypotube (H-TUBE to his close friends) for years now. Why, we went to the same kindergarten

im hypotube and WHO ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE

Or not, cuz none of these champions actually have tear incorporated into any semi-viable build, so them having it really isnt an issue. Instead focus on bugs that actually influence a champion’s strength like Kled’s, which literally happen at least once every single game.

Actually, can I please get an explanation on this? Why is Kled left the way he is when its so obvious for so long? Is it straight up just neglect for the champion?

oh yeah, its definitely not a priority thing to do, but the game should technically work correctly at some point

Is it intended that TP stacks tear? I guess it is a "spell" cast. Haven't checked if smite/exh/ignite do or not. But had a good laugh when my tear stacked off of TPing to a minion.

LOL love it

our_cut

and what else added?

draven auto buys tears to fill his inventory slot whenever he dies

InstanceDuality

Okay but what about Nasus Q? Tear does not stack on it either and it seems like it should to me.

nasus Q does not stack tear (neither does draven Q). Razor here is if they trigger ability effects (ie: ludens). They do/should stack manamune, as that works of AAs (the bug being draven Q does not).

InstanceDuality

Okay but why do other empowered autos trigger tear then? Blitz E triggers it, Darius W, Jax W, Vi E... what makes them so different from Nasus Q? It just seems inconsistent? Especially in the wording of the abilities.

Plus, I just tested for giggles, Darius W does not proc luden's but yet stacks tear.

So I'm just really curious why all these other abilities trigger and stack tear but Nasus Q doesn't.

sounds like i should fix those >.>

fixed for 11.12

I mean, maybe he should just be better at his job?

Ever since he became the head of balance, the sheer volume of changes that makes you go "wtf is this" is insane.

yetter has never been head of balance, btw

Can't wait to see it.

Answers still probably no but I'll ask anyway any chance that we see in Imperial exterminatus carried out on a planet filled with all the Scuttlecrabs so we never have to see them again after.

weird it seems like we are making scuttle crabs the only source of gold for janglers. they are gonna be made of solid gold dogecoins next patch. everything else just gives random item drops.

Haven't seen it in the comments, so I'll put it.. Jatt explains in 10 seconds how huge the jungle changes where jungler loses catchup exp is... This is something that is so understated, it needs much more visibility for everyone, especially laners who don't understand that ganking is very very punishing now.

well good news, theres a lot of jungle changes on PBE, including a version of catch up xp.

/u/GreaterBelugaWhale I also want to ping you but just to say hi!

What are the Teemo changes?

One whole damage :)

Also the passive ASPD duration is up from 3s >>> 5s

Blasterus

Damn those yorick buffs. Good, he deserves em

the turret aggro priority changes are unlikely to happen within the time frame of this patch

PhreakRiot

Actually the designers are the ones who make direct changes. I know some games don’t really have tooling for that and rely on engineers to modify the game. Not on League (mostly). This was a simple mistake from a human being.

engineers are not human confirmed

I thought you were a whale! Have you been lying to us, Beluga?

lying is like, 95% of what i do

agreed. I've clarified

Yeah I think the question I was asked on-stream was more about off builds/secondary builds but was worded as build diversity. Build diversity on a champions main, intended build(s) is good, but worrying about enabling secondary/off builds is a waste of time imo

We can judge what is worth our time investment and what isn't

For example, AD kat (until the nerf to the kraken interaction) made up a good half of her play rate - and at the same time her playrate roughly tripled from ~4% to 12%. All this while being worse than her AP build winrate wise. It's pretty clear that players enjoyed the alternative build. As for time investment, its a bit hard to judge since it piggy backed on necessary AP work (without on-hits to support Lichbane and Nashors, Katarina was out a viable AP build order on SRI), and therefore costed a minimal amount of effort.

Yo just for clarity:

I'm not saying that AP Twitch and AD Kat are a plague and must be purged from the game. They exist, whatever; I'm mostly indifferent. I'd say I only start to take an issue if balance decisions are made with a priority on making these builds playable when other things should be more important

Off builds are not really in the same boat as build diversity

ex: You can choose to build AD as Kat vs You can choose among multiple mythics and many more AP legendaries as Kat each time you shop to customize your build for the given game/playstyle
