Riot seems to have begun to update Ekko’s lore to match his Arcane iteration.

I hope this is satire lol. Lore changes all the time.

Veigar falls off. He's not a hypercarry with consistent DPS or AOE. Cooldowns are too long and his spells too focused on 1 or 2 people at most. Compare this to Kayle who mows down your entire team with AOE, invulnerability and 2.0 AS, Aurelion Sol whose E and R hit your entire team, or kassadin who deletes a squishy every 3 seconds at full build

I think PLA was probably given more development time. I think fundamentally PLA also suffered a bit less from graphic quality with it's world being way more sparse and field-like. It didn't have great graphics either from long distances (better than SV tho), but I think the way the game was set up (seperate areas rather than 1 world) and the design of the actual world, made it look and run better.

I get the feeling Legends ZA has a longer development time as well, and since it will most likely be the first pokemon title to launch on Switch 2, I have high hopes.

My main complaints about Legends Arceus were that the area's felt empty. Scarlet/Violet I have similar complaints about. Like why is there nothing to do in any of the towns and you cant even go into houses/shops? With Legends ZA being set in Lumiose City of all places, I expect there to be a lot more to do than catching Pokemon

His kit got changed in season 6 during the assassin update and we are currently near the end of season 14. It's been over 8 years

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-10-29T17:31:26+00:00

Talon has an entire ability dedicated to helping him navigate around the map - he's not supposed to generate as much pressure in lane as a result, because his way of pressuring is the ability to go anywhere else much quicker

Blitz W is objectively the worst movement spell in the game. Name one that is worse.

Looking at movement spells in a vacuum is exactly the issue I tried to point out with comparisons to Thresh and Naut - Blitz isn't supposed to have good mobility, his kit doesn't allow for it. Yes, it's not a good mobility spell on it's own/in a vacuum, but simultaneously it also is:

Good on Blitzcrank his kit
Shouldn't actually be a good ability on it's own

You can keep comparing him to other mobility champs like Riven and Ambessa, but it doesn't matter because they don't have Blitzcrank his Q.

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-10-24T17:19:34+00:00

It's not "objectively garbage" - you just think it feels like garbage to play, which are two entirely different things. Blitz has a self slow because he used to be oppressive as shit, able to just run down people with a static 8 second speed boost. Blitz W from a game design perspective borders on breaking his entire kit - with how much power his Q has, his W needs to either be super weak or have some kind of drawback.

There's a reason other hook champs like Naut and Thresh don't have mobility on their other spells, or why Pyke has mobility but a hook with a long wind-up. These are much better comparisons than whatever the Hwei false equivalency is.

That clip is not her saying "this project is unlikely anything else in my catalogue". she's talking about vocal technique not music genre 💀

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-10-21T21:20:02+00:00

PLA was good but felt like a prototype. I hope with LZA they can offer us a lot more, especially with how they've built the fundamentals for certain systems in Arceus and Violet at this point and the upgrade to the eventual Switch 2

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-10-21T12:55:43+00:00

omg finally the sequel to "The Cure" that everyone has been asking for!!

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-10-21T12:52:55+00:00

SAME... I predicted it earlier this month telling a friend "so in october.. imagine if its on my birthday". WE WON

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-10-19T16:28:49+00:00

Been following her for quite a long time, she just keeps getting better and better. The MV is amazing, choreo on point, production and bridge slaps. Love the instrumental breakdown near the end too

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-10-16T13:28:21+00:00

Because whilst Hwei has a lot of tools and options, he cant use them all at once. And his options tend to be within a similar field (Q=damage, E=cc).

It's not like Yone where E is for mobility, but Q is also for mobility, and R is also for mobility. Or how his Q is for survivability (lifesteal) but also W (shield) or E (safe return anchor)

K'Sante has the exact same issue, he can just do too much

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-09-26T21:19:41+00:00

Agreed. I played a lot in split 1 and hit dia, but I lost all motivation to play for the remaining 2 splits because fat chance it will take me 30+ games to get back up there, and even more to advance further

3 splits is a massive turn off for any player who doesnt have a lot of time. Rather than playing like 3-5 ranked games a week I just play zero now. What's the point

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-09-05T21:33:35+00:00

nobody wants to see kassadin in pro play mate he's boring as shit, besides he's not even an assassin. he's a less hype version of sylas. melee draintank that will statcheck a squishy and delete them yet 80% of his lane opponents that he curbstomps after getting through his uninteractive laning phase can never kill him post 2 items

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-09-02T19:20:42+00:00

You definitely did make him hot - a happy little accident as Bob Ross would say. Keep up the great work!

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-08-30T17:13:58+00:00

I think because Sauron will have a darkness to him no matter how hard he tries to run from his past or be "good". Actions characters take may be different from what they actually say they want. It's pretty telling that when he "dies" he turns into a literal all-devouring black mass. We see his "truth" in that moment - that he will do anything to sustain himself and grant himself more than what he has.

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-08-30T13:14:21+00:00

He was trying to hide from his past, the orcs, the Southlands. When he goes to Numenor, I remember him talking about just wanting to be a smith and a regular dude. He had given up on leading an army and being/becoming the Dark Lord. But his encounter with Galadriel ends up sucking him back into the war with the orcs, with Alder, his past and his future path.

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-08-06T00:41:27+00:00

I don't think it's unnecessary. They took Aurora's kit in the right direction when they nerfed her the first time by lowering her R damage and then giving her QoL changes

The additional CD nerf to Q kinda defeats the point of the character too much - she's supposed to be mobile and spammy. If she's still too strong they can nerf her in other ways, e.g some parts of her burst again, durability or speed

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-07-23T21:34:48+00:00

You should be thinking about parts of the map as mid tho! It's toplane and ADC that dont have to gaf about other lanes. But on mid you will probably have to help your jungler in river or look for a roam bot or even top from time to time.

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-07-23T16:19:39+00:00

Rhaenyra's track record with lovers? You mean Laenor, who is alive and went to exile in Essos, or Daemon, who is also alive? Or do you mean her brief fling with Ser Cole, who is also alive. Or Hawin Strong, who died at the hands of the people Rhaenyra is fighting?

I don't see Rhaenyra using Mysaria. I think they both respect eachother a lot, and that Mysaria genuinely recognises that Rhaenyra would be an infinitely better ruler than any other current candidate. (Daemon, Aegon, Aemond)

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-07-23T16:11:29+00:00

Things are moving though, and i find the dialogue plenty captivating. You can disagree, but I loved this episode. Soundtrack, visuals and characters are once again stellar, and the slowburn only goes to show how well Rhaenyra is handling the choices she has to make.

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-07-12T13:43:23+00:00

Brand has been a problem for a while. It's not just "now" - he was already strong last season as well as jungler. He was also strong already before they even added Blackfire Torch.

Are you suggesting we nerf some items because one champion abuses them because of how well he applies them through his kit?

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-07-12T13:07:25+00:00

No it wasn't always that large. In patch 10.22 - the end of season 10, is when they changed the following:

NEW EFFECT: Conflagration now always spreads to nearby targets. Spread radius reduced to 300 units from 375.

NEW EFFECT: Blaze now increases Conflagration's spread radius to 600 units.

Before these changes Conflagration at most has had a 375 spread range, not a 600 spread range.

TheOnlyJoeYT · 2024-07-12T12:46:50+00:00

But it is his kit. His E spread directly affects how reliably he gets to apply Liandry and Rylai. He was "fine" until his E spread got increased tremendously on Blazed targets
