I don’t know Asol is so unique that there’s a high chance that riot will just gut him
#Am I the only one who’s really worried about asol’s rework?

Riot's average rank is bronze
Literally monkies 👍 Get them out of my game bro. Idk why they have a hard on for ruining champions when they can just make new ones
covert briar
if it makes him able to be played by a wider audience then it's generally a win
he warps the game for your teammates and yourself in ways that arent great

going off every rework we have seen in the past 2-3 years itll do basically nothing apart from make him generally less consistent to play and more frustrating to play against
literally not a single rework since and including akali has succeeded imo

can you give a source
do not say riot brightmoon because he isn’t lead gameplay director lol
fair majority of rioters who discuss balance/game design in posts etc are like plat+
sounds like copium
twin nymph
can you give a source
source: Was playing on a smurf and got a rioter on my team in provisonal games
Flamed him 👌
The balance team does seem to be plat+ tho 
covert briar
its more likely you encountered someone in art/music/whatever else over gameplay :)
haughty ether
source: Was playing on a smurf and got a rioter on my team in provisonal games
name player
if they aren’t on balance team this means jackshit
i played against a rioter who was obv not good at the game but he was a software engineer
surreal ravine
why should you care it's not like you are earning anything through asol's well-being

most riot employees are gold
and the ones who talk about what they do at the company are gold in my experience the others don't chat
surreal ravine
most of gold+ don't have time for the game being busy with actual work/school
haughty ether
most riot employees are gold
can u give a fucking link or some shit
nobody has given me links and i had to look up riot employee twitters to see some are plat/dia elo
lone star
this is from experience not a link
haughty ether
ok so ur evidence is dogshit ty for telling me ur dogshit both in game and out of game
xd
haughty ether
not malding just sad that nobody is backing up their points
and they are using their keyboard warrior skill to make up for it
or lack thereof
haughty ether

if ur gonna say that rioters are gold then u need to give evidence
this is debating 101 so i’m gonna assume ur just trolling
lone star
not debating
i stated my opinion
how dense are you?
literally in what you just replied to it says in my experience ...
slow temple
can you give a source
That guy likes to bait just ignore
slow temple
most riot employees are gold
this might be true, since they can be in design, skin, etc
But as far as I'm aware, the gameplay and balance team
are generally high elo
But they also have some low elos, to have a fair assessment between all ranks
fleet rose
Lurk secretly In low elow fun fact
slow temple
Who's Lurk?
fleet rose
Rioter in low elow
pliant vector
are generally high elo
plat high elo lol what
slow temple
plat high elo lol what
No dia
Also the head position of balance is required to be dia+
velvet warren
i cannot imagine anything that'd happen to it that would be worse than what we're at right now. so nah. go crazy riot. just keep his model GOAT
pliant vector
Also the head position of balance is required to be dia+
head position
most are plat players
slow temple
Should put higher standard
Probably not, since if you can be masters+ while working long enough to be the head position
that's Rioter is a grinder
haughty ether
Should put higher standard
masters+ decay and game development sounds like fucking hell
haughty ether
plat high elo lol what
10% top players of major regions?
pliant vector
10% top players of major regions?
anyone can get plat
haughty ether
ok im gonna assume ur trolling in this thread
haughty ether
im just gonna say
in na the average rank is s2/s3
so anything above that can technically be considered high elo
xd
pliant vector
high elo isnt just above avg it has to be high
haughty ether
in na the average rank is s2/s3
and if u say anyone can hit plat then explain this
pliant vector
?
haughty ether
u are quantifying high elo in a biased way
pliant vector
do you think the average silver player is tryharding to improve taking game serious
etc
haughty ether
bc ur coping or smth
haughty ether
i am literally just using numbers
pliant vector
and extrapolating incorrect conclusions
haughty ether
while ur trying to add extra factors for some reason
haughty ether
ok im gonna assume ur trolling in this thread
pliant vector
the extra factor of being above average not being the determining factor for being high elo
ask any player what high elo means see if they tell you silver 1 is high elo
literally no one will
its obviously not
haughty ether
u realize that people like to ego right
so i’m gonna assume ur egoing too for… some reason
haughty ether
even tho i turbo doubt ur in the high elo u talk about
pliant vector
i turbo doubt you seriously believe this for even 1 second

im worried that the amount of time and effort people put into the champion, won't have their skills transferred into the rework and will have to begin by scratch again. Of course if they make him mechanically easier that would be a solution, but personally I want him to be the same high skill high reward space dragon he always was
I have 80k m7 mastery points on him so i dont play him much but i play him enough where I feel my time with him has been wasted
pliant vector
asol teaches you spacing which is useful on any champion
covert briar
aurelion teaches you spacing on his terms. doesnt fully translate to other champions
bright meadow
im worried that the amount of time and effort people put into the champion, won'...
i mean thats honestly better
just scratch the old aurelion
do an aatorx style rework
pliant vector
aurelion teaches you spacing on his terms. doesnt fully translate to other champ...
it absolutely does translate
covert briar
not saying it doesn't.
pliant vector
it fully does
if youre able to stay spaced at one range that translates to any champ
covert briar
you simply cannot compare this to any other champion due to his passive and w.
pliant vector
his passive and w are why he teaches you spacing not why the skill doesnt transfer
covert briar
they teach spacing unique to him and only him. since it also impacts more than just the enemy champion.
pliant vector
spacing always impacts more than the enemy champ, wtf are you talking about?
velvet warren
every champ has its own spacing though
youll learn spacing subconciously no matter what you play
slow temple
Aso's spacing is a lot more visual
So there could be the argument that you are more easily able to understand spacing
because of this
tho idk if that will benefit you because it will teach players how to space or harm the player because they are reliant on a visual cue
lone star
asol's spacing is very similar to classic spacing
pliant vector
youll learn spacing subconciously no matter what you play
Asol forces you to learn and remember it and focus on it and be able to consistently do it properly
pliant vector

If you need a visual indicator you can take advantage of c pressing to show range
velvet warren
yeah but that's only his spacing. if his spacing somehow translates to everyone's spacing, i don't see why everyone else's spacing wouldn't translate to everyone else's. if anything asol's spacing probably is the least transferable considering you have a visual aid. the moment you step onto another character you suddenly dont have a literal visualization telling you where to be.
pliant vector
Everyone else’s spacing does translate to everyone else’s it’s just that asol also teaches you spacing better than most any champ
And you always have a visual aid if you spend literally 1 day learning to press range indicator key
Which you should do anyway
velvet warren
max range =/= effective range
pliant vector
That applies for any champ including asol?
pliant vector
Yes you do again if you press c
velvet warren
bro you are running in circles rn
velvet warren
well i think aurelion W range is a bit closer to his ideal range than Jinx W is to hers
and oh boy if you think auto attack range is the only one that matters
pliant vector
Lol what do you think you should space along your w range as jinx rather than aa range
Is that your take
velvet warren
my take is that champion's ideal spacing isn't necessarily the maximum range of their auto attacks, yes.
haughty ether
le pog
velvet warren
but aurelions ideal spacing is pretty close to his W range
pliant vector
my take is that champion's ideal spacing isn't necessarily the maximum range of ...
Sure and asols ideal spacing isn’t permanently one range value either
In most instances you will want to space based on your aa range as jinx however
Same for asol and passive/w
velvet warren
well im sure aurelion mains will transfer this universal skill to other champs and climb then
pliant vector
Yea should happen once they learn other champs than just asol
haughty ether
Yea should happen once they learn other champs than just asol
what does this mean lol
haughty ether
?
once they learn other champs than just asol
are u just trashing because u lost to an asol main or
pliant vector
are u just trashing because u lost to an asol main or
no that wasnt meant to be rude
haughty ether
ok bc it sounds like you’re being a cunt for no reason
