...Sabinati's map seems to be an absolute mess, though. Ugh.

It's underground, has DWARF FORT and an ascii dwarf in front of a palisaded mine entrance. That's just screaming Bay12.

« on: April 04, 2013, 05:27:48 am »I could definitely see something where you mark 3-4 locations and they get connected. It might be one of those ideas that only sounds cool on paper, but I feel like it could work.It's like they can't even design a caster with a non line-skillshot low-cooldown Q these days.
Karma: Does
Elise: Doesn't
Syndra: Doesn't
Diana: Curved line might count
Zyra: Doesn't
Ziggs: Bouncing in a line might count
Viktor: Doesn't
Ahri: Does
Xerath: Does
So really it's just Karma and Lissandra recently. Two champions in a row really doesn't count as "can't design anything else nowadays". I think Diana and Ziggs are different enough to not count, but I guess you could argue that they do. Even if you count Ziggs, it's still been over a year since we've had a mage with a line skillshot Q.
Ouch, then it's just a massive perception bias because they got released right after each other, and both have a slow on it.
My bad.Well, anyway, my point was badly worded as usual. The thing I wanted to get at is that nearly every Q here is a low-cooldown bread-and-butter skill, save for Ahri. In some cases, this is integral - Syndra without her Q would be pointless, because she needs those balls. Xerath without his Q would be pointless, it's his core poke and damage. Most of the times, it works out. In other cases, it feels detached from the kit, though. Lissandra might be an example, since I can't really see how that Q interacts with her kit beyond doing stuff with her passive, so it feels a bit forced.
...wait, I'm only complaining about Lissandra while still being sore about Karma.
Disregard post!

Found an huge, abandoned, unclaimed farm near a cave. Jackpot. I'm currently taking everything that isn't nailed down.
/e: I think I found you, Bay12! Well, I know of no other in-game faction that would pave an ASCII dwarf in front of their underground palisade gate.

Mind you, I know why they do that. I know they also mix in ground-targeted AoE. And I have a certain dislike for autotargeted skills. But Riot could stand to break their own rules every so often, or else every champion of a certain role feels too much alike.
That being said, her design is interesting beyond that nitpick. Sort of a melee mage. The E looks particularily neat, although it depends on how fast that claw goes. If it's fast enough, it's just a glorified blink. If it's slow, though, it acts as zone control and a looming threat or option, and that would be interesting.
Also, they finally managed to fit Puck's Orb on a character. I remember Xypherous stating that they've tried out such an ability for ages on a lot of kits.

FOUND AN UNCLAIMED MINESHAFT! It had a claim at the bottom though, and I couldn't get back up, so I had to hearth home.
Ender tells me that thing is connected to a cave system, though. I have one torch. LET'S DO THIS

Why would you want to commit to a fight as Jungle Nunu? Throw an iceball in their face and skip away with your glowing hands. At worst, you come out even.

Whack one of the slimes into submission, then loot the corpse and keep one of the frozen slime bits for science.
If all slimes are already killed, venture east to the Flutter Fields and scout the place.

Have they improved the god kits? Last time I checked, those ranged from incredibly bland over blatant ripoff-frankensteins to barely decent. The game system actually is fun for one, for a MOBA, but they would need better gods to showcase that.
Plus the way the Minotaur used to work basically spelled game over as soon as one Phoenix was down.

FIRST SPOT ON WAITLIST, HERE I COOOOOME
Name: Lilianna Kythros
Gender: Female
Appearance: Cold weather clothing - overcoat, scarf, vest, thick shirt, shapeless patched pants thingies, gloves, pompom hat, and a few too many belts. Leading colors are washed out greens, yellows and browns. Bright azure hair. Long, fancy looking staff, too, with a blue glowy thingy. Quarter elven, or so she claims.
Backstory: Hailing from an obscure mountain country somewhere to the north, more specifically from its so-called Royal Academy of Geomancery, Lilianna is out here in the search for the World Tree which, she says, is absolutely vital for a few key aspects of her craft. Most of the time that seems to be a front to tour the world, get wasted and rack up huge unpaid tavern bills, though...
She absolutely cannot resist cracking cheesy jokes and groanworthy puns at the worst possible times, and rarely takes anything seriously... so she kind of slid into the whole saving the world business, but hey, taking down an evil sorceress? Piece of cake!
Class: Geomancer
Strength: 1d6
Intellect: 1d8
Dexterity: 2d4
Vitality: 1d4

...meanwhile, I have erected two tanning frames and am really really looking forward to getting a backpack.
Also, q51 soil, pretty sweet especially since I won't need any better for like four months. I sadly didn't get far enough away from civilization for my tastes, but oh well, the world is old. What kind of resource quality do you dwarves have?
