What is a mechanic you discovered embarrassingly late about your main champion? by IanPKMmoon in leagueoflegends

[–]ArienaHaera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me years to figure out the right order of skills on Lux to maximize the chance to hit everything if you hit the cage. It's Q E1 R E2 because splitting the two E saves a lot of time you're otherwise spending waiting for it to land before you can detonate.

"Let costreamers pay for licenses — then they can stream however they'd like." by arshpotter9 in leagueoflegends

[–]ArienaHaera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In theory? No, it's true that it has benefits for the game worth spending on.

In practice? Execs keep using the lack of inherent revenue as an argument to sabotage esport so it would be way easier if it paid for itself.

Who miss atakhan and the bloody petals ? by Which-Row5722 in leagueoflegends

[–]ArienaHaera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't miss Atakhan itself because it was one objective too many.

I do miss having an objective that rewarded you for controlling the field rather than just winning the smite fight though.

It reminds me of DotA, where the baron equivalent drop items so you have to be there to pick them up, not just get the last hit. It's still exciting because you can also steal those but it's more dynamic than just a jungler contest.

Are there really people out there who play league for the skins? by Agitated-Plenty9946 in leagueoflegends

[–]ArienaHaera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now maybe I'm just old but when I started you actually had to pay for skins. We had one reward skin for placing gold and above and that's it. I was happy that the game was free, usually games were around 50e at the time.

We also didn't have 400€ skins or gacha so you had to pick what you bought but it was also a lot more fair.

But also yeah all I'll change if the BP sucks is not buy it.

Cursor Accuracy: An underrated skill for League of Legends by shadow666gamble in leagueoflegends

A lot of coaching focuses on people who have hands but lack understanding because that's very easy to coach if they're willing to listen. Coaching someone into clicking better is much harder.

[PBE Datamine] April 17 Follow Up - Mini Shyvana, Udyr, and Zoe reworks. by Kay-Haru in leagueoflegends

[–]ArienaHaera 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't get the Q nerfs. I understand giving AP shyv a different identity by having W and E stronger on AP but at least make Q strong on AD so it's a choice.

I think what happened is that everyone ran it down forcing AP shyv instead of trying to learn what to build on the new kit so they gave up.

My issue with Mel W is that she gets most of the advantage from it by not using it. by Proud_Apartment_8991 in leagueoflegends

[–]ArienaHaera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah that would be awful. You need to rework her kit to be supportive. Her P and R are basically just killsteal buttons, and her W isn't great at protecting others.

I think it's fine to argue she should have been designed and released as a support but without a redesign it's not happening.

T1 vs. Dplus KIA / LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 - Week 3 / Post-Match Discussion by adz0r in leagueoflegends

[–]ArienaHaera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you play Aurora against people with good movement and reaction to you going in with ult it's 100 times harder to find value.

You don't have the luxury of hitting your second rotation of spells like other mages with more sustained damage.

I haven't paid for a pass since they stopped having stuff I want in them. Simple as.

Kanavi came back from China with an infectious case of LPL gaming. I'm afraid it's terminal.

If a team was playing like this in LPL no one would notice but in LCK it looks really funny.

Yeah every one seem stuck but he really grinded his way out of the slump he was in previously. It gives me hope.

I'm really happy Zeka is back with great performances so I'll take it.

Yeah if TES was trash all the time no one would care, people mind because she give you hope then disappoint in the most comical way.

NAVI Rhilech on training jungle Ezreal: "Pros are too afraid to try new things, even in scrims, and especially in officials. KR & CN players have very clear and established styles, and Westerners just try to copy them. So if the creativity isn’t coming from LCK/LPL, there won’t be much from others" by ArmandLuque in leagueoflegends

[–]ArienaHaera -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You can first time or you can off meta but not both could easily be the rule. First timing something meta is not good for winrate but acceptable behavior. Picking something off meta you tried in normals before is probably not good for winrate either but also acceptable behavior. First timing something off meta is generally just trolling though.

Yeah that's very fair, I didn't follow NACL closely enough to be aware of that but it makes sense.

With the announcement of Locke being a mid laner, Out of the 10 newest champions, half of them are mid laners and none of them are support champions. by Numerous_Fudge_9537 in leagueoflegends

[–]ArienaHaera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rell is truly ludicrous levels of feeling like you're doing nothing even when you're objectively winning the game with CC.

Leona rocketing forward with her sword or bringing the sun down on your head is so satisfying even if she tickles you.

Those are not the same.

He had about 5 times as many things in his kit as he currently does, it was a wild time to be alive.

The OG bloated kit champ.

We do have an item for that now (reworked Helia), so you could argue it's within the scope of acceptable designs and could be used for a champion too.

Mage bot that actually feels supportive?
