I imagined rich doesn't imply popular, if anything it makes it difficult for him to relate to the others (and then there's his habit of asking people their blood type before their name). Ahri would probably see benefit in having access to his house for the background of her snapchat/tumblr selfies and to throw parties, but at best would most likely be using him. Also House Noxus and House Ionia have never really got along, they just aren't fetch.

But that's just me! I love these comics Gutter Rat has been producing, and the Academy characters are for players to tell whatever stories they want with. I really hope we can do some more in the future. School is something most people can relate to, although this time I'd play up the conflict side more. They were supposed to be like Ikki Tousen or Rival Schools: Project Justice.

Hmmmm....curious

Mundo.

"Mundo took out his notepad, a tool he often used to mark down observations about his patients, both past and present. The notepad was large, yellow, and imaginary."

Hahaha oh please, please no, please don't kill me. {{champion:36}}

Yeah. I agree. She's high on our list for a small gameplay update but I think her visuals are pretty solid

Galio!

Hi Unit684!

Redesigning the skin to be more aligned with the new Hextech theme and shape language was a big factor in the decision. However, one of the goals the team tries to deliver on with skin updates like this is to provide a powerful, aspirational, and compelling alternate fantasy for the champion. The team tried to really drill down and figure out what were the elements of the original skin that would make people want to play with that alternate fantasy. With the update to Galio's personality and story the team felt that this new design best represented what the core elements of the original skin were.

All that being said that's the intention but I'm interested to hear your thoughts. Was it just the aesthetic design of the original skin that drew you to it or was there something more to it that struck chord for you? Where do you feel we missed the mark? What makes this concept feel like a recolor instead of the intended alternate fantasy?

Personally, this was one of my favorite skins out of the rework because I'm a fan of the Iron Giant movie and this just sorta fits my fantasy of being able to say, "I'm Superman" when I ult to a teammate.

Cheers!

Does this hold you over?

A while back I asked an old friend to paint me a picture of my main boi, Nautilus, just chillin. I keep it framed at work now.

E damage does not proc Talisman on live. Maybe the misunderstanding stems from the fact that auto-attacks proc Talisman? Regardless, I have taken his jungle clear into account and tuned the ability to give him a similar clear speed. No worries there :)

His early jungle shouldn't feel too different. Auto reset is powerful, and Hunter's Talisman will now proc on his E as well.

Mentioned this elsewhere in the thread, but for visibility: Q mana cost is down in the current iteration to offset the cost of E. We may end up moving mana costs around in other ways, but Cho's total kit mana costs should still feel equal in the final version. Anecdotally, he hasn't had mana problems in internal playtests.

The current iteration of his E has a damage scaling component with feast stacks :)

Hey OceanicEyes - As the designer currently working on Cho'gath, I'm glad the new E direction piques your interest. I'd like to shed a little light on the questions and concerns you expressed.

One of the main goals with this update is to make Cho'gath's influence reflect his size and lack of mobility. It just doesn't sit right that the gigantic lumbering void terror is eminently kiteable, but is not sufficiently rewarded for finally making it into range. The new version of E provides a more persistent threat, offering agnostic %hp damage that makes even tanks leery of remaining in melee range for too long.

Its windowed nature also reflects Cho's weakness in getting to / staying on high mobility targets. Toning down its 100% uptime allows us to make it a powerful ability even if you only get an auto or two off before Lucian dashes out of range. The slow also rewards Cho for making it to his target by giving him a window of "stickiness," rather than the current situation where dodging Q guarantees that your enemies walk away scot-free.

Re: Mana costs, the E currently has an activation cost of 30 mana. Right now we're going with a reduction on the mana cost of Q to balance this out, and Cho hasn't demonstrated mana problems in internal playtests. The Q cost reduction is pending to change, but rest assured that we are conscious of the repercussions of adding a mana cost to a formerly mana-less ability and are looking to offset.

AP Cho'gath will also remain alive and well - or perhaps end up in an even better spot! In the current iteration his Q/W/R damages and AP scalings are untouched, and the slow attached to E will allow him greater Q accuracy if he's willing to get up close and personal (or if he can find some clever pass-through angles).

Hopefully this clears some things up, and thanks for the feedback as always!

Complete overhaul. A complete overhaul doesn't mean there aren't some things that are cool that we keep.

^the man the legend.
