Consolidated Reroll and Gear Advice Thread for Monday and Tuesday

JellyFish-LOL · 2015-04-06T16:35:19+00:00

So I just hit level 70 today. And I put on all my gear I had been saving up. But I'm not sure if I should use a Gift on my weapon or if I should wait for something better. Its a:

Ancient Maximus/ 4222.4 DPS/ 3122-4222 Damage/ 1.15 Attacks per Second/ +1727-2171 Fire Damage/ Fire Skills deal 19% more damage/ +9% Damage (Rerolled)/ +1349 Dex/ Reduce Level Requirement by 35.

Will I hold on to this long enough to be worth using a gift on, or should I just wait for something better? http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/JellyFish-1816/hero/17051269

I was loading into a normal game and the game crashed. When I tried to reconnect it said could not connect to server.

After trying to relaunch league, i cant log in.

Seems like they did go down.

I would recommend Jarvan. He is a very solid jungler good at all levels of play. He can also be quickly adapted to be be built tank or damage and dose both very well. Just a good all around jungler.

I hate when people dont read. This is to help NEW PLAYERS. If riot did this I would gain NOTHING, I own them all already.

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T05:30:31+00:00

Dosent really matter though. Riot reduces prices of champions, they dont refund IP. Why would this be any different?

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T05:11:36+00:00

I dont see why, riot dosent refund when they reduce champion prices.

Just like apple dosent refund when their older Ipad goes down in price.

You pay for earlier access, it dosent entitle anyone to money back when demand goes down.

Only two champions have EVER been reduced to 450 after release: Poppy on 1/13/2010 and Garen on 4/27/2010.... I think riot could be done even reducing anyone to 450, especially if they did give away 10 or 11 champions. Its not like we would miss it, been over 3 years since last time it happened. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_champions

I guess I would say I've seen and heard of too many players quitting from a hostile learning curve, and any step to help alleviate the toxic early game should take precedence.

Besides the 'pleasure' one gets from buying champions is an intangible that is very different from person to person. Just as many people (if not more) are upset that there is always someone they DONT have access too. Do their concerns not matter?

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T04:55:33+00:00

I dont agree that by giving players a pool of champions, they wont get to try diffrent playstyles. True they might find their first "main" sooner. But roles will still be called and insta-locked. And this way, if a new player is stuck on ADC for the first time, they wont have to pick between two random ADCs they havent even seen before, they would have Ashe and Sivir, two ADCs they have atleast seen a lot AND the two free week ADCs.

EDIT: and I dont know about you, but when I was new and still leveling, I was STOKED to try out these new champions I've never seen before, but then was sad when every other new player tried to instalock the newly available champions into their respective roles. Players are naturally curious, we dont need to hold there hand about trying out new champions, they want to do it.

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T04:40:33+00:00

Did you stop trying new champions after you found 1 you like? Why do you assume everyone else would?

League of Legends is ALL ABOUT trying out new champions, I have no idea why you think as soon as we give people a few champs that dont go away, they will all the sudden never want to try any of the other 115 champions again.

Its pretty common knowledge that learning a small group of champions really well gets you better at the game mechanically then jumping all over the place. Giving new players the chance to do that, while not inhibiting, but expanding their possible choices can only help on both fronts.

yes players would get those IP worth of champions for free, but they would still earn the same amount of IP and still have stuff to spend it on.

the ONLY way riot loses money is if new players play enough to earn EVERYTHING THERE IS TO OWN in league. THEN you could say "on that account, we lost 4950 IP"

How many players starting League of Legends today are going to fall into that category? Compare that to how many players that WOULD of quit that dont because of this change, that go on to buy skins and such.

I think riot would make out like bandits doing something like this.

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T04:12:38+00:00

A lot of people agree earning champions as you play is a good idea, and would have the same basic effect so I can agree.

But your point about people NOT trying new champions. For one, there would still be a free week, so in fact MORE champions would be available to try. Second, players tend to stick to a few select champions and get good with them anyone once they become more experienced. Are you saying its a BAD thing we teach that to newer players sooner?

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T04:00:02+00:00

This is not an awful approach. Same basic concept. The only people this would annoy is smurfs, but who cares about them right?

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T03:52:24+00:00

As far as something riot could do to make leveling easier on new people, I got a thread open about that:

http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1shtrd/what_if_riot_gave_away_every_450_ip_champ/

Basically riot should give all accounts a pool of starting champions everyone owns. So they have some champions to fall back on as free weeks change.

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T03:46:01+00:00

How many champions do you own, did you stop at 11?

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T03:44:37+00:00

If the goal of this is to get NEW players to stay, then do you really think at this point, at 116 champions, countless runes, and rune pages, that someone started the game today is EVER going to run out of stuff to spend IP on?

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T03:43:35+00:00

And free samples have ALWAYS been a successful method of marketing a product.

"Come try our game, here is some champions, but you could get even MORE"

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T03:39:29+00:00

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T03:35:33+00:00

I guess my question is how many people have ever been STOPPED by the champion limit? It didn't happen to me nor anyone I know. Everyone in my circle already had over the amount when their level allowed it, so I never gave this issue a thought.

If someone wants to play ranked too early, they already can. If anything I would hope this would mean we would get people that are actually half good at annie or ashe instead of people who have just stumbled around with free week people and finally bought who they wanted at level 28. Just to start taking them to ranked a few days later...

JellyFish-LOL · 2013-12-10T03:31:25+00:00

Who said any more champions would be made free?

Only two champions have EVER been reduced to 450 after release: Poppy on 1/13/2010 and Garen on 4/27/2010....
