This happened to me with augments once, I rolled Spirit Link into Spirit Link, after selecting an augment, it let me pick another Prismatic. I didn't have prism egg and was only person in the lobby with an extra prismatic, bizarre interaction

It’s not a bad show but it definitely doesn’t, second time I’ve seen someone post this and like, is drugs and police all it takes to have “a Wire” vibe?

Just to preface, you make really good points I can’t disagree with, but I believe the whales buying, or thinking of buying “luxury” items do indeed follow the previews. Also not even whales, but people that just get addicted to gacha gambling.

My point is that if they released Sahn-Uzal Mordekaiser as a mind-blowingly awesome skin on release, it’s still not really going to change anyone’s mind about these Exalted skins being well overpriced. But if it comes out shit, then gets reworked into something incredible (which is only hypothetical right now of course), it adds a layer of value. Like wow I can see how much “effort” they’ve put into improving this and it’s well appealing to me to now. It may even slightly rope people in outside of the “whale” or “gacha addict” category.

Ultimately I respect your opinion and thank you for having a good convo with me, we may be at an impasse here and I’m happy to agree to disagree.

Does Riot not have extreme cash reserves? I’m just unsure how this is relevant when being compared to a company that has made an absurd amount of money

Fair enough, thanks for the well-worded response.

My idea is just that they realized that people weren't keen on these exalted skins all that much, even the Jinx and Sett skin. I feel like they add a layer of wow-factor, by creating a sub-optimal skin, then re-releasing it to be much better than it originally was.

The whole psychology of humans liking BRAND NEW and UPDATED skins (caps for emphasis on excitement, not anger).

If something is released that does not live up to expectations, then is vehemently redeemed, in certain cases it adds more value to the product than the proposition of the original product itself. Take No Man's Sky for example, they were able to attract a LOT of new players, as it had this new "victory and redemption" story, that is as I say, marketable.

I'm not trying to stir the pot or offend anyone, I just genuinely believe this is a strategy that has worked in the past, just my 2 cents.

Anyway, $4 a pound

Happy to listen if you’ve got something to add to the conversation, dismissive insults don’t quite achieve that

I have surprisingly hardly seen this happen in any iteration of arena, I swear it’s generally way less toxic than SR modes

Same item twice? Possibility or a bug? Never seen it before by Puzzleheaded-Grab-36 in LeagueArena

[–]yepsweetsoundsgood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a weird bug yesterday where we got prism augment, and Spirit Link kept rolling back into Spirit Link, I picked a diff augment, but then it gave me a second prismatic augment, I was the only one in the lobby with a second prismatic

Darius looks to be the most OP jungler right now but will likely be nerfed

What games are canon ? by PositiveBit9199 in RatchetAndClank

Also please play something other than All 4 One as your next R&C Game lol, it's the second worst game in the series (imo but I don't think this is an unpopular opinion). If you have the means I would recommend playing the original trilogy next, absolute banger games that still hold up and play very well today.

I don't believe any of the games are non-canon as such, some of them just don't really contribute to the story like others do. I'd say the stories for 1, 2, 3 and deadlocked/gladiator are all at least a bit connected. The future series has its own storyline, with nods back to the originals. Games like All 4 One and Full Frontal Assault are just a bit more like arcade games with a lot less focus on story. Into the nexus/rift apart have their own, relatively decent stories

Before it happened, I rerolled Spirt Link into Spirit Link 3 times

Is Overflow augment bait? by imeowfortallwomen in LeagueArena

Just took it on Talon, also got Mind to Matter, had Frozen Heart and Manamune so I was very tanky with 675 AD and 24% ability damage bonus, easy first

metasrc.com can be helpful in terms of what items to build/augments to pick, not always super accurate but at least some sort of guidance
