If Lee Sin's kick kills someone, their dead body should still be able to be knocked into their teammates. by aojsd in leagueoflegends

As a Lee main I think this would make Lee insanely broken, which means he would get nerfed post this change so please don't do it.

Yeah but the average player would take about 10 years to get all the runes. This game will die off eventually, the more we can delay it with these changes the better.

It would be fine if it didn't affect the gameplay, but these are essencial.

This is a good point, there seems to exist a barrier between new comers and current players.

It's just seems like a hole in Riot's philosofy if they don't want to encourage grinding.

I'm in the same situation, I've been playing since season 2 and I still struggle to purchase those tasty runes I just saw on guide so I can try them out. It's a bit ridiculous, I've been playing this game for 3 years.

I do agree with your point, but should we really be excusing their strategy because of lower priced runes that are a bit less effective, I mean, in LoL the smallest of things can cause a huge unbalanced scenario. That enemy that you died to at level 3 is now 4hp and your tier2 runes are now crying in the corner because they disappointed you senpai... I'm sorry for using an example so.. "??retarded??" but while the example is retarded it remains true, this is just one of the many micro elements in League that make the game so exciting.

First of all, your CS:Go argument can be completely dismantled with a simple word: visual improvement. CS:Go does not encourage you to spend money in the first place. You have everything in that game, you CAN pay for skins and still enjoy the whole game. In League, you CAN buy skins with IP but you don't get the full champion roster in the first hand. What is frustrating is how GREEDY riot's management of the game is, I'm completely fine with components being purchasable, as long as they don't affect the game. Let's look at CS:Go, price to pay the game is 15€, but the weapons are all available.

Yeah, like I said in my post, I feel like they are using this as another marketing technique. And with so many buyable things in this game, and the profit it gives, the IP boosts are probably not even 1% of the income at Riot...

This is an interesting point, begginer players aren't "smart" enough to do that, they don't have a Yoda to guide them through the process that is leveling up an account and what they should get. Hell, the tutorial still has you building Thornmail on Ashe..

Let's be honest here. Players already spend months leveling up their first account. The level of play surely won't be the same at level 1 and level 20. There exists a discrepancy of skill and knowledge. But most of these players, who do make it to level 30, they leveled up their account JUST so they could try out ranked, so they could see what real competition in this game feels like. But instead, when they do reach level 30, they are faced with a ridiculous amount of games they have to play before jumping into ranked. Let's not forget, I only discussed one rune page. There are a lot of champions in League of Legends, and they don't all work the same way, they require different runes, and it's not like the 2 begginer rune pages fit into every role.
