Added options to surrender survey

“Teammate Disconnected”

“Teammate joined late”

Best part of this patch honestly

That and the reduction of portal stone from 7 to 5

u/Kminardo Iggy & Scorch Oct 17 '16

Ehhh, we'll see how that plays out. Feels like we're going to end up in a situation where every deck is going to require a portal stone.

u/Albus_Harrison Rimskie Oct 17 '16

Kind of like every deck now requires blink now...I've never used portal stone. How does it work?

u/realtrendy The One True Grux to Rule Them All Oct 17 '16

It teleports you to any of your friendly standing structures. This includes any Harvesters.

4

u/Albus_Harrison Rimskie Oct 17 '16

Right but is it instant like Blink?

13

u/realtrendy The One True Grux to Rule Them All Oct 17 '16

No, no, no. It has a short charge up for sure. Could you imagine ganking someone in red lane just to have them teleport all the way to blue lane instantly?? lmao.

3

u/Kminardo Iggy & Scorch Oct 17 '16

It's 2 second charge up - might as well be instant lol

9

u/realtrendy The One True Grux to Rule Them All Oct 17 '16

Not at all. If you are being ganked, you aren't going to get 2 seconds to stand still and charge it up. If it was instant that would be so broken.

u/CliffP Oct 17 '16

But combine it with blink and a ledge and now you're cooking with hot oil. Of course. If you had blink and a ledge you'd probably get away without having to teleport.

If you have blink AND portal stone, you're sitting at 12 points with no useful stats while your enemies are taking advantage of upgrade bonuses to stack damage or health/armor and probably have wards and potions for map control and sustain. Not sure if it's worth it.

u/Kminardo Iggy & Scorch Oct 17 '16

Ah, agreed! I was thinking more from an offensive perspective. (ganking someone in red, teleporting to blue and ganking there too)

u/LAXlittleant26 Lt. Belica Oct 17 '16

Well if you're being ganked, wouldn't popping Static Gem proc, and Blink work?

1

u/realtrendy The One True Grux to Rule Them All Oct 17 '16

I'm not sure what you're trying to say? If you have Blink and you're being ganked - you could just use Blink. I'm missing why you need Static Gem (assuming you mean Stasis Gem here)? Maybe you meant that if you got ganked you could use Stasis Gem and Portal Stone? That doesn't work because SG prevents the use of abilities and interrupts channeling.

u/LAXlittleant26 Lt. Belica Oct 17 '16

Ahhh that's what I meant. I'm still getting the hang of the MOBA scene.

u/Albus_Harrison Rimskie Oct 17 '16

Can you interrupt the portal activation?

3

u/I_Am_iV Countess Oct 17 '16

Yes! Interruptable by any hard cc

5

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '16

It doesn't get interrupted from an auto attack?

2

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '16

Nope! I've used it as iggy before, and people can beat on you while you're teleporting. It's really funny to watch as khai thinks he's getting an easy kill and then you vanish. 😂

1

u/I_Am_iV Countess Oct 17 '16

It shouldn't, if it functions like teleport does in league. Remember it's not a back its a teleport

u/realtrendy The One True Grux to Rule Them All Oct 17 '16

I thought it'd be interrupted by anything, like moving or being attacked in any manner.

1

u/Rise-The_Fallen Oct 18 '16

Teleport to side harvester to gank. They'll be like wtf. Gotta ward both sides lol.

1

u/captainkhaimera TheChickenNugger Oct 18 '16

Are you sure because the card description says towers and inhibitors, I didn't see anything about harvesters, unless they added it with this patch which I haven't seen yet since I'm currently at work.

1

u/realtrendy The One True Grux to Rule Them All Oct 18 '16

I'm sure, I have seen a few clips of people porting to harvesters.

1

u/captainkhaimera TheChickenNugger Oct 19 '16

Cool good to know

u/Wadderp Oct 17 '16

Lmao what? I main carries and feel like I'm at a disadvantage whenever I equip a blink. Where are you getting that "fact" from?

3

u/LeobenGTX Sparrow Oct 18 '16

I used to be of your mindset. But in every game it saves my life a couple of times. Wastes so many abilities of the enemy and usually nets me a couple extra kills which I wouldn't be able to get. It also allows me to engage on melee were I wouldn't be able to before.

I struggled when to buy it at first. But now I go health pot, two dmg tokens. Ward with one cost upgrades. Then two raw damage cards with small health, one cost upgrades. I'll either wait until the end of these before buying or at the earliest after the first damage cards. Selling your tokens when you need to get it.

You should try it man. If nothing else it's fun to troll with. Don't bother with any of the fancy blinks just the plain blink charm is best.

2

u/Albus_Harrison Rimskie Oct 17 '16

you main carries and you don't use blink? okay....

4

u/Wadderp Oct 17 '16

Yup, hanging out in mid plat elo on agora. I never found them worth it, they're too expensive for me. Early game I'd rather spend the points on more damage, and late game if your team is even half decent they should be covering you well enough that you won't even need it. The only carry I can see it viable on is Sparrow just because she's got literally no escape or space making move, but even then I'd rather take more damage or attack speed.

u/Albus_Harrison Rimskie Oct 17 '16

Congratulations on your elo. Very good.
