E: Oh, and if y'all want a better title than the current one, start making suggestions now!
"What if I just had one creature that killed the fuck out of you?"
So hyped for this set too! Shurima is my jam. The team working on level ups have ascended to level 3 as far as I'm concerned too...
Hits the feels too since I first joined Riot to work on the league shurima event!
Thread title: Level 3's Company?
(I don't know lol)
do you have any thoughts about the increasing complexity of champ level-up animations and whether or not older champs' level-up animations will be revisited? Teemo's animation feels...underwhelming compared to the full cinematics we're getting now.
Yeah but he comes in with Barrier and pseudo challenger at burst speed. And most of the time by the time he comes down he will be leveled up anyway.Jarvan seems pretty under-statted for a 6 drop. Even 1 or 2 drops can bop him dead at 3 health.
I think the bigger issue with Jarvan is that you're forced to summon him instead of being given a choice and that may very well mess up your plays if you have combat tricks that you want to use.Yeah but he comes in with Barrier and pseudo challenger at burst speed.

The effect of coming down attacking at Burst speed is quite insane. Only issue is that he is using a Champ slot on top of being in a competitive 6 mana slot in a Demacia deck.
It could, but Demacia decks are heavily unit based so at most you will have single combat / sharp sight or Rally in your hand which are typically low mana.I think the bigger issue with Jarvan is that you're forced to summon him instead of being given a choice and that may very well mess up your plays if you have combat tricks that you want to use.
Watching the video again, Cataclysm does give you the attack token if it goes off so it's like another Rally effect. That's really strong.
Oh interesting. That means synergy with Scouts in this deck. That 3 mana 2/2 Divine and Scout card has a ton of synergy here.It doesn't rally itself. That only happened because it was a scout.

In other news I won the Last Chance Gauntlet.
I might try to play some matches in the tournament tomorrow for a chance at at the card back. I can't play all day though so most games I would have to concede.
The previous months Last Chance Gauntlet was much tougher than this one. I seemed to evade all the top decks, and my final boss was a Yasuo/Swain player. Felt super bad beating him with Pirate Aggro but... this is the game we play.Congrats on the Prime glory win. It's tougher than I expected.
I think you probably want to use it with Fiora for the multiple attacks. Like use it on an offensive triple attack with Fiora and Taric.the new 4 mana rally combo with taric looks kinda nutty, taric quinn rally maybe? Honestly I think that 4 mana rally will replace relentless in alot of decks that play it right now

This article does mention that the changes will come with the tournament in April, not this one.I thought this seasonal tournament was supposed to be 9 rounds? Or is that for the next one?
Oh well.
Even though we've only seen 2 champion level up's so far the animations in this set are 1000% above all others.
The added bonus with Shurima is there will be 2 level up animations per champion too.
Man the animations for these new champs are insane!
Taliyah looking interesting. No idea how to evaluate it yet
Have you tried the mobile version? Wild Rift. I haven't touched it yet myself, but it looks like it's got what I'd hope for in terms of streamlining/quickening/presentation values.Oh yes definitely hoping for the best for a Riot FG. There is a huge gap in the market for F2P FG for PC/consoles/Switch. Only occupied currently by Brawhalla (super indie game) and KI (on specific consoles).
I find it funny that I am into LoR and even a bit of TFT but barely even touched LoL. I have been into MOBAs in the past but I am just burned out at this point and can't afford the massive time commitment.
I have signed up for it but I have not received the beta yet.Have you tried the mobile version? Wild Rift. I haven't touched it yet myself, but it looks like it's got what I'd hope for in terms of streamlining/quickening/presentation values.
Ahhh, bummer.
I don't play Taliyah, but I'm seeing some complaints that they kinda screwed up up in terms of appearance and personality, and if so that's a bummer.
It's really interesting, the biggest issue is just that they changed VA's for her, but her old VA also voices zoe and should probably still be available? maybe her situation has changed in the last year~ or so since those were recorded.
Riot chose to recast Taliyah's voice actor. They posted on Twitter about feedback related both to complaints about the new voice as well as her appearing a bit lighter than in League. They're going to be updating her art some time after the set release, but the new VA is going to stay. Maybe they might have the new VA do some more lines, but it sounds doubtful:

EDIT:
noticed that the LoR team responded on twitter just after posting this reply, seems like the voice actress was changed to a woman of color to more properly represent the characters heritage
