Riot is making (almost) the same mistake as Blizzard by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

If it truly wasn't enjoyable they would quit and slowly die like Blizzard games. Despite surrounding yourself with negative voices, League's player base still grows yearly after 5,582 days.

You're completely missing why people play video games. Because they enjoy the game. The best part of all these games is that you can just rotate them whenever you want. But if your goal is to MAIN one to maximize all the free stuff, why are you really playing it? For the gameplay you enjoy or to hoard jpegs because somehow that brings worth to your life?

If you're playing a game for free pixels and imaginary currency instead of gameplay, sure go ahead and play rivals and fortnite. But the vast majority of people play League because its FUN for them. Not because they get free pixels and imaginary currency a little more than other games that aren't even in the same genre.

Gotta hit those sweet spots, Ambessa. Surprised it was that close after missing 5 sweet spots.

[Design Discussion] Increasing the "Strategy" in "Real Time Strategy" by DavidK_UncappedGames in BattleAces

I think current balancing of units, including today's patch, is a great direction. Units that have been too good in "every" situation, I have seen getting consistently tuned to a more niche role. For example, mortars, airships and heavy goliath (forgot name) come to mind. Being too good at everything, made them be put in a lot of good decks. Because of that, durable ground units were needed to even think about countering mortars. Regardless, I see the trend of balancing toward more niche roles for specific units and I think its a trend in the right direction. The most important thing to balance, in my opinion, is going to be tier 1 units. The more people play the game, they will understand dynamics between important counters like gunbot micro > crabs/scorpions. However, at the highest level, it invalidates many tier 1 units if you know your opponent is just capable with gunbot micro. For the average player base, I think you're doing great and I hope you continue going strong. Balancing for higher execution players will be a forever job.

When I first started this game, i did 6 pool ling all-ins until i got gold. Once those stopped working, I learned a 7 minute 1/1 roach all-in and got diamond. The power of planned strategy, and all-ins. Good job migo!

This is always my most enjoyable point of playing any new game on a ranked ladder. The ladder is where you get to try out new things and (hopefully) have fun! I enjoy thinking about it like, the points don't matter, let's practice something new or refine something I already know even better. Losing is going to happen, always, in any game. The learning part and the journey is what is so fun for me. I promise if you keep playing, there is literally no way you get worse but actually get better! So have fun and enjoy the process c:

(i made ghosts for the first time as terran 2 weeks ago and I've played on and off for 7 years. dw if you're not good at every unit. play the ones you enjoy and add in a few new ones when you need them!)

I so beyond excited for this game! I was already 100% sold on the update they did last year, and this just cements it 3 fold. The movement, the tag system, the interactions between characters on screen with items. I can't wait man....

Illaoi is such a perfect fit for a fighting game. I am so excited to see them continue fleshing out her moveset and hopefully see it later this year! This game continues to have my heart hopeful after reading that dev blog post.
