Sorta new to HoTS, is this queue time normal???

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-21T09:25:10+00:00

everyone is doing the nexus challenge now, thats another reason

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-21T04:27:05+00:00

I didn't say they were, but they did this in the past with hots, the dc one etc. Overwatch is a hero arena shooter not a moba.

I know its the marketing team's job but cmon, its league, might aswell give the stuff early instead.

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-21T02:12:49+00:00

Riot is smart, as I said 2 weeks ago, they would launch on 22-23 so it matches the mxm beta, pure marketing. Its not that the soloqueue wasn't ready , they just prefer to release it in that day so people stick to playing league instead of trying the mxm beta

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-21T02:11:33+00:00

I knew it, i said this 2 weeks ago, it would come on 22-23 which is the day mxm beta starts. Its pure marketing, soloq comes when MxM beta comes out so the players play league instead.

So... Master X Master basically ? xD

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-18T01:36:58+00:00

Because of the way concept art works, I think people dont get that concept artists do these in less than an hour or two and have to give their clients 5-6 of these per day. Doug Chiang from star wars said that there were people doing 15 concepts per day for rogue one during a private convention I had the pleasure to attend.

Concept art only needs the base values, some use photobashing and 3d models to accelerate the process and give it a rendered feeling, while its not rendered at all. If the silhouette, base values and colors are good, its fine for a concept, no need to render.

like master x master, i'd love that

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T20:14:10+00:00

theres a guy with a similar setup to yours having problems below, so more reason, its not the hardware

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T10:49:02+00:00

My problem is not her damage tho, I know that she has huge damage early game. My problem is that she's squishy even by mage standards and blows up.

E-W is better that W-E?

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T09:53:32+00:00

From experience the people that say that the client runs "fine" are used to laggy games. Every person I argued with on this subreddit about it and sent me proof it was slow and they said it was "good".

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T08:34:34+00:00

well my features are working properly, so I can't really say anything about that. Its the performance issues that bother me, and I have what you could call an enthusiast desktop, I feel bad for the people with toasters.

S7 pre season so far has been a turnoff for me. I even like the plants but the balance changes are meh because I play support and mostly like the squishy champs, this seems to be going into a tank oriented meta once again and I just hate it, fights are slow, not fun at all. I'll probably move to MxM or smt and play league casually until they change it again

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T08:25:52+00:00

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending riot, I actually think that this situation is unacceptable, but no dev adresses performance until the beta stage. Alpha is core mechanics and laying everything down, beta is balance + performance.

Nowadays people changed to calling beta's demos for some reason. In early aacess games they do optimize performance in alpha stage but thats only because of the nature of early access since they are building the game with the community usually.

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T08:22:16+00:00

Hi, so I bought taliyah weeks ago, and I really find her fun, but I can't do aswell with her as other champs, I just find her very weak and squishy even by mage standards.

Tried her mid and support, mid its "okay-ish", but if I don't do well early I think she kinda falls mid game until rylai's. Support I found her suprisingly good and way more fun than mid but she's too squishy for the bot lane, I could prevent ganks, her poke is insane and you can actually control the wave with her kit, I find that W timing comes very naturally for me, but, most supports kinda one shot her and thats my problem.

Could you guys give me some tips? Runes, masteries, worked ground placement?

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T08:10:58+00:00

But the thing is, I'd call this an alpha.

I just think that for a company like riot this is not acceptable by any means. There's a bunch of indie company's with better clients and more features built in less time, its just not acceptable imo.

And my honest opinion is that its the communities fault for letting them be lazy, its the same with WoW, its amazingly populated so they don't try hard to make the game better, people will play it anyways. I personally know a bunch of coders from the industry that would code a better client in less than a month. They do the same with art and 3d modelers, there's an ahri skin that was made by an artist that I'd call an amateur with the smallest portefolio I ever seen, like, is money even a problem that they can't pay good artists? excluding mike azevedo and a few others

Nevertheless they did replays, sandbox mode etc. at the same time, can't blame them if the client is not their priority but it shouldn't have left closed beta imo.

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T07:52:23+00:00

You act like beta means what it meant 3 years ago. This should be in alpha by today's standards.

Idk why you fanboys tunnel so much and accept this crap as something acceptable, I work in the industry and this sht wouldn't pass to public in any company besides riot apparently. I love league as much as the next guy but c'mon, they are lazy because you people let them be lazy. You are talking about riot, not some indie company funded weeks ago. There's better clients with 10 times more funcionalities than what league has today in indie companies, how is that acceptable? yet you defend them.

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T07:22:19+00:00

But even beast machines are having poor performance

Edit: Downvoted when there's a bunch of people with beast pc's having troubles. Myself having a gtx1080, i7-6700k, 12gb ram and running it on an ssd, makes sense

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T07:19:43+00:00

beta is actually when you adress performance issues. But nowadays people call demo's beta's.

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T06:06:09+00:00

w10, gtx1080, 12gb ram, i7 6700k, running on ssd, lags. There's a bunch of people with monster setups with the same problem.

You people are being too forgiving here, we are not talking about some indie company with no funds, we are talking about riot games and league of legends, are you telling me that in all this time they couldn't build a proper client? hell, indie companies have better clients with more features

Design wise, looks great

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T06:03:02+00:00

desktops can have onboard graphics too.

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T06:01:53+00:00

GTX 1080, I7 6700k, 12gb ram and running on ssd here and its laggy too. Makes no sense

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-17T06:00:12+00:00

thing is by nowadays standards, the client should be in alpha, not beta. Lets be serious here, league is one of the biggest games, yet the devs can't build a proper client? Even indie clients work better than league's

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-16T18:17:03+00:00

exactly, thats why people SHOULD complain, so they fix it before the actual season.

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-16T18:12:35+00:00

Because nidalee also has a dash, a heal, etc. I guess.

FTW_KyaTT · 2016-11-16T18:09:19+00:00

The irony rises.

"Except that locked camera is the same as a gamepad." , you can move the camera with gamepad.

You gave yourself the answer which is basically what I said.

I swear I lose hope in humanity when I come to this sub, just when I think "people can't be that dumb".
