"Boring" and "Unattractive" are not great places to start a champion pitch. Even niche champions aren't targeted to be boring and unattractive. When we make them that way they tend to be played by no one (so they're not even niche). Every champ needs to have something appealing that a player can latch onto. This DOES NOT mean that they have to be attractive or badass.

Bard is a weird whimsical spirit. Kled is a deranged hillbilly cavalier. Urgot is a horrific monster mech. These champions have niche appeal not because they are boring and unattractive, but because they are all strongly appealing in their own ways to a niche audience.

Every. Single. Year.

Given dominion's playrates, it was not what made League the game most people love.

The TP one is definitely intended, I remember they patched it to be this way a couple of seasons ago to give counterplay against TP and to remove stuff like TP'in into lane brushes completely unseen. You don't even need to have the camera on the spot they're tp'ing in, you will see a small red dot on the minimap because the ward they're tp'in to will be revealed during the channel.

The baron thing I don't know about. I've witnessed it, but it seems to only be specific champions that do it, so I can't figure out why it happens. I don't think it's intended

VFX showing on baron in fog is almost always a bug unless it's something like Jhin W (which reveals itself to everyone who could conceivably be within range).

Worth noting that spectator mode specifically has A LOT of vfx in fog bugs that don't extend into the actual game.

Well the problem is all Gnar keystones are troll because you picked Gnar

Nah man we need triple swords. One Piece knows what's up.

Its not, but Riot will say it is so they don't have to do shit about it

It's intended you can see Vi E if you're close enough to the blast radius.

Pls don’t give them any more ideas :( At this rate she’s going to have to pay 50 gold to press Q by Christmas.

ha aha just kidding..

Unless?..

I’ve always been against lowering Vi’s R cost. The intent behind the increase per level is to keep her mana costs scaling throughout the game since one of her spells is a pure passive.

Maybe that’s just a dated way of thinking about things tho...we don’t really give most champions (especially melee) real mana costs in the late game as there are other better ways to limit them at that point (CD’s and kit based weaknesses for example).

The question is why? What makes TFT objectively more keep-worthy than Nexus Blitz?

Waaaaaaaaay more people play TFT (and continue to do so)

Man I wish all this reddit hype about alternate game modes translated into people actually playing them as much as TFT.

Sad riot no more does things for community, but hey, they make a lot of sweet cash!

What you haven't noted in your post is that EVERY SINGLE ONE of these champions has some form of POINT-AND-CLICK, UNAVOIDABLE damage with a ~1 second cooldown (scales with AS because why not) and a 1:1 AD RATIO and costs 0 MANA and even WORKS ON TOWERS (again, why the fuck not)

Absolutely fucking ridiculous from Riot here

This seems like a great idea for the next marksman

Jinx is 100% most best adc in game and also any moba ever no bias it is just the fact.
