DOMINION

@ Jarka and Kaden


Just because it can't be helped doesn't make it NOT like that. If gameplay experience isn't balanced, it's still fucked, no matter what can or cannot be done about it. WoW was constantly a shitstorm because they couldn't balance. Any game that gives dynamic, alternating powers to a single character and expects it to balance out with other character with OTHER dynamic, alternating powers and they all have access to different combinations of items and that kinda shit won't be balanced.

That DOESN'T mean that new content isn't gonna come out NOT fucked up. It's gonna be fucked up. That's the entire point I was making. Not everything that people say that's negative about a game is a direct attack on its creators, it's just a FLAW OF THE GAME. I'm sure you'll both read that and wanna cry about how it's not their fault, but that's, once again, not what I'm saying.

A new mode with a new map with the same characters and (mostly) the same items is just gonna be... god it's gonna be all kinds of shitstorm. Certain characters will excel greatly and others will suck ass, item combos will be all fucking crazy and build types will just be flat out OP and if you try to disagree with that you're being STUPID.

Right, because Kaden and I were totally crying over what you said. We mad, bro. We mad.

What I don't understand is how you think this game is so FUCKED UP and HORRIBLE and FLAWED. Especially since, when Riot notices the meta overusing/underusing a champ, they will make tiny adjustments to the champion to make sure they are right in line where they should be. Hence the bi-weekly patches. LoL is probably the most balanced game I've ever played because of that, which is why I love it so much. For any powerful champ, there is a counter. Are you getting focused by Caitlyn and her stupid freaking range? Buy a Thornmail. Karthus ult making you weep? Banshee's Veil completely negates it. Sick of running into 'shrooms? Too bad, because Teemo is awesome (okay, you can buy an Oracle's Elixer, I guess). Ranked gives you even more of an opportunity to balance thanks to draft mode.

I mean, you're complaining about dynamic abilities and the interaction between characters with other dynamic abilities and that's impossible to ever balance everrrrrrr. That's no fucking different than pen and paper RPGs. In fact, pen and papers are probably even more imbalanced because the players are pretty much only limited by their imagination, as opposed to the technical limitations of a programmed game.

I'm just not really sure what you mean by the game being broken as fuck, I suppose. If that were the case, you could pick a champ and win with that champ 100% of the time. With the exception of Tryg's Gangplank, that just doesn't happen, or you would see that champ in every. single. match. Aside from weekly rotation champs being a tad more popular, that really isn't the case at all.

Nobody has said that different champs won't excel in the gameplay of Dominion. In fact, all of us seem to be pretty excited to see what champs will really shine in that playstyle, since it won't be the standard laning "keep minions between me and blitz" style play. Just like on Summoner's Rift and Twisted Treeline, however, it's going to be based more off of team composition more than an individual choice.

I have no problem with criticizing game designers or companies. I just think you're completely wrong in saying this game is totally fucked up and imbalanced and it will be IMPOSSIBLE for them to BALANCE the game.
