Is there a chance he ever returns to LoL? His champions really pushed the boundaries.
It's always possible
in all honesty, CertainlyT is a huge loss for Riot Games. I can't believe he left. He has made this game much more fun and more popular. I can't imagine the amount of revenue he has singelhandedly brought in as a result of his contributions
He i still at Riot Games, just not working on LoL anymore
As someone who has an unhealthy amount of hours playing Invoker on Dota, this is the first League champ that I’m super interested in. Very different than Invoker in terms of mechanics, but you are thinking about the same things in terms of strategy. Asking yourself the same questions.
I’ve seen a lot of people saying he isn’t that complex and he’s basically just auto attacking, and while Invoker has a little more going on mechanically, you are still on both characters thinking about CD timers, what ability needs to come next and how to get there, what combos do I have access to in this very moment, what combos should I prep for a fight, etc. the main difference is that Invoker has freedom of choice and Aphelios doesn’t.
The 2 biggest question marks I have are:
1) is there going to be a way to “dump ammo” quickly in order to get the weapons you need to set up a combo going into a teamfight?
2) if the W will be a true toggle or not.
The W is a true toggle. It has no Cool down. Sometimes when I'm just walking around and spam W because it looks so cool when he plays the weapon swapping animations (Which he can keep moving during)
Aphelios looks absurdly hard, was that one of his product goals
Kind of. The product goal for Aphelios was to make a Champion with a high mastery curve through many different combinations of abilities rather then reflex based mobility tools, where most of our high mastery curve Champions reside
Yasuo mains can go somewhere now maybe.
I also have my doubts about your statement. Unless they have a mechanic that is detached from them (think Orianna), requires mechanical positioning (Vayne), requires a lot of inputs (Lee Sin), buffs/objects to track (Yasuo/Irelia), and also and most importantly knowledge of every skill in the game and their cues and often just body language in order to counteract them (spellshield/riposte).
I'll bet you do 2 of them, with such a bold statement; 3. Never 5 and almost never the last one.
Does it seem hard enough for you?

correct
Yeah, a "whimsical" jungler, which means it will be boring and braindead to play just like all "whimsical" champs. Jungle is absolutely starved for mechanically intensive champs, Lee is basically all we get.
Hmm Zoe, Fizz and Lulu are all whimsical Champs that aren't brain dead to play
wait does that mean the juggernaut is a jungler? we havent had a new toplaner since Ornn
The juggernaut is not the jungler
With the voli and fiddle reworks, what lanes are you primarily wanting them in?
Jungle
so his winratio on release will be worse than yuumi? I hope so, otherwise he's not that mechanically intense
I feel like it will be, but we will see. Yuumi's winrate being low was less about her mechanical difficulty and more about the fact that Yuumi players were learning to play her at the same time that ADCs also had to learn to play with her, so it's hard to say
I’m getting kind of annoyed at them seemingly never releasing junglers anymore.
We have a jungler in development. We are also working on both a Fiddle and Volibear VGU
/u/reav3 said he believes this will be the most mechanically intense champ in the game with a lot of outplay potential. I am so excited.
Mastery of this Champ will require almost fanatical faith
Hey u/Reav3, can you answer if he'll be released this year?
I don't ever comment on release dates
That an odd coincidence
I think they likely planned that, Senna could have been pushed back(intended to be after sylas then put on a stand by)
Lol, I wish I could say we did. I didn’t even realize this until just now
The main reason we didn’t do this is that Kassadin doesn’t actually know Kai’Sa is alive so his character didn’t change with her release
Next champion after Senna will be a Lunari that can wield an arsenal of weapon tied to the phases of the moon apparently...
After that we have an Ionian Brawler who vaguely sounds like Yang Xiao Long.
And then a “whimsical jungler” and an “edgy solo laner”
Along with the new Fiddle and Volibear reworks coming in there somewhere.
Edit: Got confused.
I said Edgy Solo Laner, not toplaner
What are the chances of Diana getting some fixes to her model and VO with her update?
We aren't doing any work to her model or VO
Do you think Senna will still be a broad release despite support marksman being an unconventional concept, August said she might be a banger
Yes, I believe so. Pyke was unconventional and he is one of the, if not the highest played support in the game.
Does Senna being a support marksman, a relatively unconventional concept, influence the decision of the next champion also being a marksman?
Nah, they both started around the same time, in fact the next Marksmen was started earlier then Senna, it is just a very ambitious project so it took awhile to get right
more of a casual question, but how do you feel about JoJo's?
pretty hawt
