You have 30 seconds SPECIFICALLY designed to let you change rune page and change masteries. Its your own fault for not taking advantage of it. You don't need to lock in; use that time as well. You have when others are picking. Instead of picking and then leaving, pick, adjust masteries accordingly (can be a bit painful if you don't know your lane opponent, so you need to check) and then ignore it. It sounds like your just annoyed you have to change/adapt; I understand, but it's not very good reasoning and a habit you need to shrug off.

I'm not trying to force you to play this game; I'm just pointing out logical fallacies in your argument so you can further cement your own argument. There's no written rule in RPG's to kill things; the game doesn't force you to not kill anybody. It simply tries to point our that your actions have consequences that you can't escape from. This game has multiple playthroughs based on HOW you play the game and you aren't forced into any single one. You're basing all of this on things you've seen or heard; like your comment about the 25 hp thing. This game isn't one hit and your fucked like some games, it's far from it. You're supposed to die. You're supposed to come back, more determined than before to learn the patterns and win. Do you know how many times I died to some bosses? I believe I died so many times on one particular boss that the game text itself changed to say I'd been killed more times than I can count. There's no rules for RPG's to follow; this game points that out and deviates, raising an eyebrow at the traditional RPG method of grinding until your ten levels higher and steamrolling. I still believe that this is the type of game you need to play and experience to enjoy. The whole main stream thing is to be expected of a good game. Of course people will flock to it. People flock to things they enjoy and share it with people. I'm not saying "your wrong" or that your opinion is invalid or that you absolutely, 100% need to play this game, but I don't understand why you just browsed into a thread about a game you don't play and post that you're never going to play it. To me, that says you either want to be convinced TO play it, aren't confident in your own reasoning or just trying to start shit to put it very bluntly. Also, you stated you refused to play because of Sans' grammar, but the very next post your telling me you refuse to play because of the Tumblr fandom and you just don't want to. Both reasons are (one far more than the other) reasonable, so I'm just not really sure what it is.

Your meant to spend the time in champ select to get ready re-doing mastery pages to best suit the scenario and your champion. Not to mention the game is slowly becoming more skill reliant and snowbally; your skill on a select few champions will be a lot more useful now that you can use the knowledge to properly snowball any leads. Riot's trying to make shorter games and the like. 20 pages is too little, I agree, but you're meant to be re-doing masteries a lot.

kinda qt i guess 7/10

No, your not crazy, and that's intended. Riot wants to have Masteries as something that should be different (not necessarily largely different) most games and per champion, since every champion is meant to have its own singular identity.

Now this, this is going in my list of epic Reborn memes. Meanwhile there's Papyrus, who speaks in all capitals; but that's not my place to judge. Where my place to judge lies in the fact that you're refusing to play a truly great game (not without its flaws) due to one singular character and the way they speak, despite the fact that the said quirk literally only adds to the character and some of Sans' text has had perfect grammar. Not to MENTION Mettaton; who also speaks in all caps, Napstablook, and Temmie. I won't say your wrong, but I will say I don't think your reasoning for not playing this game is very solid.

you didnt think about a keystone mastery on the cunning tree (the tree that has things like dangerous game) would be helpful to an assassin? its literally designed for burst mages and assassins who want to burst someone down quickly then retreat while their cooldowns are down. its also useful for junglers as one of the only few viable keystones for them; since they'll be roaming, it's likely the cd will be back again. but yea. lots of keystone combinations are good but not immediately obvious. stormraiders kat/fiora for example.

read as; go out of vision as a squishy adc then walk right up to them after blowing your stealth and only form of cc (w slow) and giving them a free passage to go in on you. not to mention junglers being there and the fact that twitch relies on extended trades which is something most of the best adc's rn don't like. they're either bursty (such as graves/luc/mf) or meant to outrange you (read as: caitlyn/potentially trist/ashe). Seriously, if you walk right up to an Ashe at level 6, you're going to die. Same as if you walk right up to a Graves, or a Lucian. Caitlyn will have you poked down endlessly, along with her net to escape rendering half the shit you've just blown completely pointless. Twitch isn't meant to have a decent laning phase, and he shouldn't either.

i see where this assumption came from but its incorrect. its not a team global cooldown, or who procs it first, certain champs or alphabetical order et cetera. i've tested it myself and was one of the first to come to the conclusion; i've tried everything I could think of, and even made a reddit post to try to draw attention. it was largely ignored, but thankfully another post got fp with it. i might be able to dig it back up; but its probably not necessary.

this bug is only present on thunderlords decree zz the bug works in the way of going by the normal scoreboard order / champ select order, the first person to take thunderlords decree will be the only person able to proc it at all in the team.

^this oh and also the music. if you don't listen to the music, you're missing out. it can even help in some boss fights.

this is literally overpowered.

y e a the new masteries p. much mean you should be adapting pages probably every game depending on shit. but quite a few champs are kinda just running around going 'what the fuck do i go'. an example would be riven rn. the best is 12/18/0 rn because no keystone mastery benefits her as much and the whole ferocity page lacks the cdr you need no good scaling ad (10 ad at level 18 you fucking what riot?) and no good base ad. its just weird. deathfires touch does magic damage and is just not that useful fervor of battle is only good if your constantly weaving aa's which you should be so if you do go 18 in ferocity that would be the best one but then the cunning tree came around and o boi riven loves that tree lmao. so does kat tbh I'm getting off topic here, so uh. Basically now every champ should be running (if even only slightly) different masteries and the like. I'm glad though, since that's like the point of preseason? plus masteries feel a lot more impactful; they always were, but they just didn't /feel/ that way. its a lot more satisfying lmao.

Play the game the way you see fit, and the way you want to play it. Don't spoil any of the story, enjoy yourself and you'll be fine. That's my advice, anyway.

in the spirit of christmas i decided 'hey i dont want gold v gold iv sounds funner' $$$ easy cash money
