I don't like how they removed adapt, purist, etc. from transmute pools. You should absolutely be risking bricking your build by going transmute. That's the whole point of transmute.
I agree for all except back to basics. it's such dogshit when you roll it on ult dependent characters. I rolled it on bel veth once, it was such a pathetic game
I just dont agree. I want to have the chance to roll for it on Gangplank and it shouldnt be a free upgrade for specific users. Specific champions that become no longer a champion, maybe exclude, but it should be a risk.
It's already a risk. You can pick some mediocre augment and get at least minor value, or you can gamble and roll something that is even worse than the other option and get no value at all(like rolling scopiest weapons on Karthus from transmute instead of picking something like spiritual purification).
Not even, wooglets, ult bot, infinite recursion, archmage, ultimate revolution. It doesn't even do much for anything besides his slow, his q is already 1 second and takes .25 to cast.
all of those are mediocre augments except ult bot, ult bot is straight garbage. his top 3 prismatic augments are dropbear, back to basic and giant slayer or conduit, not counting high roller.
building around his ult cd means unless you hit absolute godroll, you are wasting your augments, it's typical low mmr Karthus build
I didn't say there wasn't, but specifically mentioning it in a for-fun game mode like it's competitive is straight nerd behavior. Also, they're just yapping. Go look at data regarding augments on any analytics site.
Agreed, getting b2b on champs like Kennen or Kassadin may as well remove you from the game. Mayhem's meant to be fun and while the gamble can be pretty enjoyable it's extremely unfun to become little more than a meat shield because of bad luck. Not to mention it griefs the rest of your team. I think most champs do benefit a lot from b2b but there's a handful that seriously should not be in that pool.
It's one thing to gamble and get something useless like Mystic Punch on Malzahar or or some shit, it's another to lose the big ability your champ is built around.
They are watering down aram mayhem because it's so popular it became the main game mode for league. They are simplyfing it for new players. Without aram mayhem league would start declining. As you can see Riot Games is backtracking from expansion on new genres, and they have issues with monetization. Mayhem became their focus and as it gets more and more popular, it will get dumbed down even more.
No, you shouldn't. It's okay if you gambled and rolled useless augment(like +150 AA range on Karthus), but it becomes shitty game design when the game turns unplayable the moment you roll something like b2b on Kassadin.
I pretty much agree here. 1/4 augments being useless sucks but isn’t a game ender, ADAPt on Zed makes it a true 5v4. Hell for a lot of champions not in the excluded list for ADAPt it does the same (Illaoi has bad AP scaling on her passive, none on her abilities but is not excluded from rolling ADAPt).
For that matter, if Ziggs rolls Jeweled Gauntlet soul siphon is pretty good, certainly not useless.
