@VividProwess Just goes to show that they dont even support their own neighbors. The hate these feckless cucks have for anything north african or arab is disgusting.
@Nethrez@Gh0styyy69@shawn_odonaghue@RiotPhroxzon Bring back Lucian + Tristana mid. Bring back Varus, Senna, Zeri top as they were nerfed too much. Let's also buff Aphelios mid. Twitch jgl. Ashe top. Corki mid. Draven top. Cait top.
Do you not know why one role is reserved for Marksmen alone?
Patch 26.14 Preview!
MSI is in full swing! Had some awesome games and we're pretty happy with the meta overall. There's decent representation across each class (assassins in jungle, a few LeBlanc picks).
Nerfing down some of the strongest picks in bot lane have also led to mages bot being more present in the meta.
We don't find this state particularly problematic right now, but we have had several conversations about the true power level of mages bots (especially when they carry high winrates). That said, there are a few that are over performing in soloq (seraphine) so she's receiving a nerf, but the overall conversation is a lot more nuanced (which pairings, familiarity as opponents, etc.)
Locke
- Locke has had a really resonant start
- players have resonated with his executes, resets and stack into burst gameplay
- he's shown to be a little skill skewed in the same way that a Katarina, akshan or other resetty, roamy champions might be, but not overly so
- that said he's still a bit strong when account for mastery growth and true power level
- his level of early game snowballing is a bit too high right now
- that said, we think his damage is appropriate if he needs to work a little harder to access it. As a result we're nerfing his waveclear (currently) to hit his ability to access it so reliably
- we know that one of the things that players find confronting is his damage output right now, but we think it's valuable to retain these types of unique edges in the game for champions
Systems
- Rocket belt has been one of the premier items for mages (especially immobile) at the highest level for several months now.
- We like and embrace this type of innovation, but it's also providing a bit too much versatility and removing a core weakness of these champs (ability to be killed), so forcing a bit stronger of a tradeoff
- The other major systems change for this patch is a nerf to the mid boots upgrade for gluttonous greaves
- it's adding a nice texture for playing say, mid vs top riven, but it's also the strongest performing boot in that lane and lacks clear counterplay
- again, the innovation here is great, but just a bit strong
@Nethrez@shawn_odonaghue@RiotPhroxzon Then allow adcs, bruisers, tanks to be picked in mid, jungle, supp like theyโre doing with mages, the only class you can play in each role
@Gh0styyy69@shawn_odonaghue@RiotPhroxzon Please go on an explain why it's fine for top, mid, jungle and support to be played by multiple different classes, but bot should be reserved for only one. But use actual arguments instead of just crying.
@BohuslavskaKate Werenโt you celebrating Ukrainian strikes on Russian territories recently?
What goes around comes around, Mr Kinzhal, Mr Iskander, Mr Oreshnik, and gang paying visit to Kyiv.
@Impurewingx_xx@PunishedEldric@xamfoam@Dexerto Nobody gives a fuck about mobile games; no matter how much you're gonna seethe about it ๐คฃ
The West makes majority of real games. Now eat shit and fuck off.
@Nethrez@PunishedEldric@xamfoam@Dexerto Bitch I showed ur petty ass new proof that's more in line with our discussion & now you're mad? Sore loser ass attitude, grow up ๐
Also, you should've considered mobiles too since they're a huge part of the industry like it or not, quit trying to move the goal post.
Marvel Rivals has released a new Captain America swimsuit skin and fans are losing their minds over it
It shows off his bulky arms, chest, and other large assets
@Impurewingx_xx@PunishedEldric@xamfoam@Dexerto I couldn't give less shit about revenue. The conversation was never about it. Retarded incels from Japan and China are just spending thousands on digital waifus, cause they will never touch a woman irl. Such "gaming" is worth as much as pile of shit.
@Nethrez@PunishedEldric@xamfoam@Dexerto You mean WESTERN MADE games...or to be more specific, NA & CERTAIN EU associated games yes๐ ?? Like you just admitted: it's not the majority.
So imo there's not much ground to bother bringing that up, when the rest of the gaming community still operate differently.
@Impurewingx_xx@PunishedEldric@xamfoam@Dexerto I mean, his claim aren't all bs. There have been bunch of games making female characters less attractive for no reason, but I wouldn't call it majority and Marvel Rivals definitely isn't one of them.
@Nethrez@PunishedEldric@xamfoam@Dexerto Having them do that won't matter much, bc their flawed claims will still be bs anyway. Like 1st off, what kind of source metric are they pulling from to even say that? Do they actually believe women & queer gamers don't exist? And how do the MANY other gaming genres factor in๐ค
@PunishedEldric@xamfoam@Dexerto Your first comment was aimed at Marvel Rivals though. Maybe share your criticism under posts about games it actually applies to?
@PunishedEldric@xamfoam@Dexerto Do you even play the game? Marvel Rivals has waaaaaaaay more sexualised skins for female characters than male ones. It's not even close.
Vast majority of gamers and it isn't even close are straight men, though, so modern marketing atm just doesn't make any sense, but that's because it's become completely ideological and anti-consumer.
I don't really give a fuck about them having sexualised male characters, either, that's always been in a thing as well in fighting games, but the constant censorship or masculinised female characters is retarded.
