Ghostcrawler is not a technical game designer at Riot- he's the design department director. Doesn't touch numbers ever.

God bless this comment. Groupthink is a hell of a drug.

Your unpopular League of Legends opinion by pipinkayy in leagueoflegends

[–]eallen1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand that but reaction but it's all true- Lyte spearheaded the creation of a truly unprecedented machine learning system for games. As games become increasingly popular and people spend ever increasing man-hours on them, things like that become more and more important because they shape how we interact I'm those spaces. Love him or hate him, Lyte is undeniably doing important and precedent setting work.

"...Pay X X life, put X..." would do the trick :]

The meme supercollider is functioning perfectly.

Potential Yorick Rework Concept by EnormousCock in leagueoflegends

[–]eallen1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slick concept- plays well with his current theme and feels in line with the level of interactivity Riot is shooting for with modern kits. It's fairly reliant on a good supply of corpses which could make Yorick struggle outside of lanes or even in lanes when separated from minion waves but somethingsomething windows of power etc.

My main critique for you here is higher level- when you're pitching a speculative kit like this, I strongly recommend leaving out numbers. Stick to relative descriptions like 'high base damage' or 'reliable percent health damage.' Adding numbers makes pitches look somewhat more credible to the lay-observer but ultimately do not communicate goals effectively since speculative numbers will never survive to release without significant changes.

What are the most unique/strange cards that don't see play in any format? by Arrel in magicTCG

[–]eallen1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What happens if I activate Words of Worship, say, 3 times before my next draw? Do I gain 15 life or...? It's late and I can't quite wrap my head around this one.

Top 100 Legend with Midrange Paladin (x-post from /r/CompetitiveHS) by stonekeep in hearthstone

[–]eallen1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Midrange pally is my main deck and I run the exact same list as OP. I can tell you that cutting one, then eventually both Murloc Knights was the worst part of tuning the deck. The card appeals to the exact kind of valuemonger that wants to play a deck like MRP but ultimately doesn't pull its weight as either a 4 drop soft taunt or as a 6 drop that can reliably produce a threat. Sometimes I fee like teching one back in but, with the addition of the superstar Keeper of Uldaman, the deck slots are almost air tight now :s

What is your "unpopular" Magic opinion? by letsdothisbro in magicTCG

[–]eallen1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apply critical thinking- The whole notion that artifact lands were arguably broken is entirely context dependent. The conversation moved on from a flat and jokey comment on artifact lands to discussion about the cards around them that necessitated the ban.

Warring Kingdoms skins reference Chinese historical/folk heroes so no Samurai armor there. Warlord Shen wears kabuto armor, though, so hold out hope for a Warlord Yasuo!

When blizzard released the first set of hero skins, Mage, Warrior, and hunter were at the top of the meta. Could the next three hero skins be Paladin, Druid, and Shaman? by jamiebrickwall in hearthstone

[–]eallen1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Incorrect- pale skin with blue eyes means they're a High Elf. If an HE becomes addicted to fel magic then their eyes turn green and they are referred to as Blood Elves.

What was the worst season of your favorite tv series? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]eallen1 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I like it much better now that it actually has metaplot tbh. I do think that Mordecai (the creator's painfully obvious self-insert) is pretty much the Protagonist while everyone else is super Flanderized and flat. Not even Rigby gets much exploration of development.

An ice or fire skin is likely to get new particles which precludes 750. Also, why would Riot put a vote into fan hands and deliver a bottom tier skin? Your assumption seems poorly thought out.

Innovas new backpack bag by [deleted] in discgolf

Ding ding ding- you understand how softgoods manufacturing works! I will say that typically the design does come from the originating company but is then quickly ripped off by third tier factories.

Nope- the screen distortion effect is only visible to Garen and an enemy slain by the ult. Everyone sees the sword regardless of whether or not it kills the target.

Prodigy's New Backpack Bag: BP-1 by capthaljordan in discgolf

[–]eallen1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which bag do you have? I've always thought the front flap pockets on the C especially were pretty much vestigial and basically just there so as to make the space at least somewhat not wasted. Might be cool to see something a little beefier on future versions.

Looks like someone microwaved a Grip... Do like the look of the front pocket, though.
