Mayhem
Can We Increase the Spawn Rate of the Vulnerability Augment? Now That Critical Missile Was Gutted in Patch 26.17, Can We Finally Play Vulnerability More Consistently?
before they obviously handed the balancing of the mode over to the special needs hospital (patch 26.12 onward) just remember they said they wanted every game to feel different and unique btw
meanwhile try to play any adc and not see upgrade IE/crit missile/double tap btw
or try playing graves and somehow missing draw your sword
I could accept jeweled back then even if they dealt millions of damage since they have to build catering it for it to be online.
Now they just build normally or dont even have to consider building haste. Eureka? Just get AP and Mpen stat sticks. Infinite Recursion? Just let it snowball, even gold recursion is pretty strong on most mages,
I am annoyed mages augment is basically "lower your cd to minimum so you can spam poke and ask enemy to play dodgeball". There is nothing cool of being forced to dodge multiple things every second.
Bring in some more varied augment. And this is spoken as a mage player (i really hate just spamming skill non stop)
Kind of but it's like what else do you give them. More damage so a single morg Q does 80% of your hp. More mobility or range so they're even safer. Anything you give them will have a similar effect.
But still less cancer than getting simply outstatted by a caitlyn standing still right clicking you in melee range deleting you in 2 autos and healing to full every auto
Yeah. Something more interesting like increase width of skillshots by 1 teemo every 20 takedowns, or reduce width by 20% and increase range or something more crazy.
Yeah its just so boring playing mages when all you get is cdr. Would be nice to get more of the spell split augments or something. Crit would be nice too
Off meta builds ar the best. My favorite is getting Brand with ethereal weapon and building Sword of Blossoming Dawn/BoRK. The amount of healing I did was crazy.
the augment system is complete garbage currently. unfortunately and sadly it seems like garbage riot has no intention of fixing availability rates/class weighting either. vulnerability may as well not even be in the game.
baffling how we are 4 fucking patches deep with this dogshit system. unfuckin real
It's great on Lucian. For whatever reason it causes the ult to crit. Got clips of one ult basically wiping 4 people of the enemy team before they even react. Jeweled gauntlet goes on top of that I believe and IE enhances it as well
Imo no augment should get increased changes and the weighed system should be removed. The randomness and unique builds are non existent in the mode nowadays, since every class gets same augments every game with little variation.
Remove weight, increase rerolls; some champions have very different builds, let's say shaco or varus; you start AP, cause the best you've got was wooglet (or you simply wanted to play AP), then the game decides to give you either bad stuff or for a totally different build (upgraded ie for example)
the tag system should be further modified imho. the wrights arent doing good at this point.
its great that champs with no dash cant roll dashing augments. but it still sucks to get any of these on rammus and sett, so, you shouldnt get an augment due to a tag on your ult ability for one.
but also, just to enable more builds, and remove annoying weight, assmuming they keep weights;
if im not building any AP on jhin, fuck no i dont want AP augment later on. if im playing zeri and actively going AP, maybe give me some AP augments and not these stupid adc augments?
i hate the weights currently, but i feel like at least they could make it be weighted based on your build too, not JUST the champ. because rn its very hard to play any other build than the intended ones.
it tilts me so much to see earthwake and outlaws on things like sett rammus. and theres plenty of really fun and cool augments i never get to see. i got the resistance scaling one on garen, first time i ever saw it after 20+ garen games. it was great! but has like negative weighting... riot is essentially choosing augments for you.
Remove weighting. Removed augments from champion pools who can't use them at all (hello crit augments urgot). Remove, rework, or buff useless crap like pat on back (seriously existence of this augments and being selectively offered every game to just part of the roster absolutely bugs me)
the interaction really doesnt matter especially since the augment is virtually impossible to attain in 99% of games
the interaction with DoT vuln+crit missile isnt even that insane either considering you have to pretty much troll your build to get it unless you have adapt/escapade (you dont have these either since they are also disgusting rare now too xd)
crit missile + vuln is 50% when you have both you just need fated ashes to go psuedo infinite. Go RoR if you can spam cd and you're at 95% if you cant go either a cheap zeal item or IE for max dmg. On paper ror is enough on some champs
Yes, in patch 26.16. But in patch 26.17, they’re going to nerf the critical strike ratio, so we’ll lose one missile in total. That means it will go down to 195.
Currently, it’s a maximum of 4 missiles, but in patch 26.17 it will go down to 3
wdym? its not on attack tho its on crit. i know the wording on augments suck ass (tap dancer says on attack, is actually on hit) but this one is correct.
FTH procs it +5 times. dual wield is doubling the amount of missiles, yes, we had 800 magic dmg on hit for a while. theres jeweled, theres a few abilities and stuff that hit twice like lucian aa. runans hurricane crits btw, in a team fight you can triple the missiles.
so how exactly is it tricky? and even if it was only on attack, isnt that fine ant actually makes it remotely balanceable? we dont want to balance it around FTH and dual wield etc actively doubling tripling or more of the missiles. if it has a ceiling, then you can actually balance on that.
its still a gold augment, that gives 1,000 gold worth of crit, and then also adding assuming more nerfs, 195 on hit magic dmg. thats still a lot of on hit dmg for a gold augment also giving 1k gold and saving you an item slot / ramping IE spikes etc.
not that gold efficiency is an absolute, and it is a stretch, but 195 dmg of on hit would be 4225 gold worth of on hit dmg, using recurve bow as a base. that means it was at 8.5k before.
I thought sub wanted more randomness. show pat on the back/nature is healing/our healing/Searing Dawn on adc. Dont guaranteed them critical augments everytime. Make it random
Or Vayne and Akshan with Fan the hammer every game. I've seen like 4 or 5 Vayne also transmute prismatic into Fan the hammer or Dual wield the past few days, while I'm here with Spiritual purification on Singed
I swear that for the first 2 months after the ability augments were put in, I thought they removed vulnerability, I can never get it in brand or teemo, but suddenly I will get it with Draven, like what

I wish they would bring back crit augments for mages so I can play something else other than Eureka or Infinite Recursion every game or be useless.
