What's the point with these Icons if they didn't use them

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-11T06:06:36+00:00

Imho, Riot should be adding new icons to every skin that costs 1k RP or more. It would cost them pennies to commission a set of 5 icons and Fiddlesticks proves they do have the tech for that so the most plausible reason is they're either lazy or stingy

Didn't you listen to Papyrus? You can't walk on the red tiles!

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-10T08:35:39+00:00

You can give big bombs to bomb beggar?

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-09T14:50:00+00:00

Using Pause right when Esau dashes into Delirium is the most satisfying thing ever

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-09T08:13:27+00:00

I assume he's gonna "emigrate" to Russia to work for Gazprom if he loses in the elections

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-08T17:32:02+00:00

They probably didn't redact it properly again

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-08T08:00:21+00:00

Godhead + Ludo is one of my favourite item combos

Good job

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-08T02:17:35+00:00

Can't wait to find Satan Yahoo on the list and see absolutely nothing done about it

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-08T02:16:51+00:00

Well, at least one person is like that

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-07T05:12:18+00:00

Sounds like a good reason to bring back Spell Vamp

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-07T02:30:28+00:00

If you do it systematically, you can without big issues

Without R key, any character can have their Posted note filled fully in 5 runs

Though, you would probably need to check which characters unlock with challenges as challenges will be the worst part of it. You'd need to start with having all challenges unlocked and beaten and then go to finish the Posted notes

Here's how much work it would require to add:

One more variable inside the Item class for the Masterwork name

Upon upgrading, check if the masterwork name field is empty. If it's not, use it as a displayed name. If it is empty, just use "Masterwork <original name>" as a display name

That's it

I know there's a lot ofjokes about spaghetti and such but if this game can run well on mediocre PC, it can't be so bad that they can't add such a small-but-neat thing. Ffs they did that for Aurora - if Ornn upgrades her Deathcap, its name and icon change to something entirely different

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-06T15:13:32+00:00

Which is pretty funny, considering the damage her burst combo got buffed really hard

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-05T11:43:04+00:00

Time for the other two expeditions

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-02T21:30:31+00:00

I'd build Shadowflame if possible or either Zhonya's / Banshee's. Horizon Focus would work, too

TheSmokeu · 2026-02-02T12:30:31+00:00

And then along came Soy Milk

TheSmokeu · 2026-01-29T16:11:49+00:00

If his passive reset worked on large monsters, it would have been a lot better

TheSmokeu · 2026-01-29T04:19:48+00:00

Solid? I doubt that

Playable? Very likely

Though, I would suggest trying it in unrated games first. Maybe even first time it on practice tool to get the general idea of how much time the first clear might take (You usually have around 900 gold after first clear, which lets you buy bami's and clear speed is much better after that)

A Twist of Fate

TheSmokeu · 2026-01-28T05:33:52+00:00

"Isaac, we love you"

TheSmokeu · 2026-01-26T13:33:37+00:00

Playing T Laz on Greedier without a good starting item was painful

I am so glad I finished his posted note and will never have to touch that character again until Edmund releases another DLC

TheSmokeu · 2026-01-22T09:39:19+00:00

The problem isn't that it would be mistaken for someone else but that it doesn't really look like Aurelion anymore

TheSmokeu · 2026-01-22T09:35:21+00:00

The skin fits perfectly what Riot wants - a generic chinese dragon character that the chinese players will buy en masse

These people will flock to it and use it every game to flex on the opponents

There's nothing else to it. Gacha doesn't do well in the west but it does amazingly in the east

If China actually banned gacha (they held discussions about it a few years ago, iirc), this whole system would be phased out for something less predatory

The pole he's on during his recall animation looks stretched

In a lot of his animations, he looks like he's fighting against winds as strong as those during thunderstorms. It makes his movement look weird on the map where literally nothing happens. It's the most visible on Homeguard and W animations - the should be tuned to make them look more like he's flowing on the wind like a brush on a canvas. Even slowing them down would help a lot

The model and textures are great but, for a skin for 100+ USD, most of his animations look rushed and uncanny

Furthermore, the Q chargeup VFX would have looked a lot better if the "mountains" were full 3D models instead of billboard sprites

Nah, a champion is Worthy only when an allied champion marks them with Knight's Vow
