League of Replays

I'll post more details are things materialize, but...
- Wooglet's WILL build out of Seeker's Armguard (but end stats and cost may be different). It won't be the only item that builds out of Seeker's.
- Liandry's is coming. Blackfire Torch will be repurposed.
- New item or two.

Current Dominion AP itemization is centered around BFT and Hextech for the most part, so the goal is to break those up and give more options at similar price points.

Wooglet's is kind of a necessary evil for mages on Dominion and Twisted Treeline right now. That doesn't mean it's fine as-is though. There's going to be a large-scale AP itemization overhaul soon that focuses a bit more on utility over raw damage, and Wooglet's will likely be touched along the way.

Some cool ideas in here (and some crazy ones too heh - MS for RoA users pls no). We're currently discussing AP itemization (and just Dominion itemization in general) right now so we'll take these into consideration. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

ps- If you haven't seen the sticky regarding tear and RoA changes then check it out.

Tip 1: Be a ManWolf
Tip 2: Run Revive and use it on cooldown (most of the time)
Tip 3: AD Malz bot lane

For those coming in from a red tracker, this topic pertains solely to Dominion.

What are the strong items, other than BFT?
What are the weak items?

What holes do mages currently have that need to be filled?

For those of you who don't know ManWolfAxeBoss, he's been working with me on Live and Environment (Maps) teams since last September/October-ish. He hangs out in DD chat, and we queue CS/play in inhouses together pretty often. Anything he comments on in the Dominion forums can be considered "official" for Dominion.

For those coming in from a red tracker, this is for Dominion only!

Tear of the Goddess + Manamune: 8 mana per charge (SR: 4)
Archangel's Staff: 10 mana per charge (SR: 6)
Rod of Ages: 40 seconds per charge (SR: 60)

Champions with persistent drain effects (Singed, Amumu, Swain, Karthus) will charge the new Tear extremely quickly, but it should still help other champs out a bit. Feedback is welcome!

The Diana tweaks currently on PBE will be hitting her fairly hard. We'll see how she's doing after that as we start getting further into the balance process for Dominion.

For glory.

I'll be working on itemization tweaks alongside the champion stuff, don't worry

Nothing with Summoner Spells right now. The first wave will be targeted solely at outliers. We'll evaluate those changes and figure out if we want to take it further afterwards.

It's shipped!

Tech is done, which means the next step is working with our UX and user testing guys to figure out the best way to communicate changes to players. Once we get that done, we'll be ready to roll out the first set of changes.

PUNCHBUMP

Party time.

Let's talk after Howling Abyss ships

He is live and one of the streamers I watch mainly! Come check him out!

We were able to nail out ElPolloDiablo's 1k!
Volandum, you are up next man, let me know in game once you are ready!

Should be able to do this tonight or tomorrow, send me an invite! I'm on a losing streak atm tho

Later Ekis, I hope you have a great time over there!
(and that you come on...sometimes?)

I will have to try this Soraka guide out!

Part of my item design philosophy dictates that when you have a strong counter-item, the choice to purchase it (and its benefits) should be directed towards its purpose as a counter. I don't believe in coincidental countering; i.e., being able to build Sunfire on Garen just because it's good on him--and oh by the way, you're now invulnerable to physical damage.

That said, I consider Lightbringer a stopgap solution to the larger issue of champion imbalance discrepancies across different maps.

This is pretty sweet idea
If I'm free I'd totally like to play a few games, I don't have streaming set up...however I have been looking into it, so maybe soon you will see me nub it up!

We had done some community games before with me rickless, and a few other guys which were fun to do! My shifts are very different from others in the company right now, so I don't know how many others play Dominion, or who are some newer people that would be down to play.

Not sure what else right now, but am totally down!

Nome and I are looking into this right now. Thanks for the heads up.

It was on response to Kassadin.

Tech backlog means that the solution is on the works, but resources are limited and there are higher priority tasks for our engineers to work on.

Good catch. I'll check it out and get it fixed.
