Kinda felt a strong dota2 vibe from the graphical style, but more colorful. Looks definitely really good and much more modern than the current one which looks pretty dated. It didn't particularily look good back when it was released either. I assume they can keep it low performance hit by removing most of the effects and shit. The jungle creeps are pretty fucking amazing too.

Amzin just proving my power rankings correct. He likes it on bottom.

I can already hear the squeeking chimps complaining about how the new SR better run well on their toaster PC
They already said in another post that they are shooting to make the new SR at least on par performance wise with the old SR before pushing it out. It isn't there yet and they have some work to do, which is expected with such an early release.

They also said they're trying to make it run better than current SR... which I believe is a possibility due to how dated the other one is... just cause stuff looks prettier doesn't mean it can't run faster too... They had a lot less resources back in the day so it's definitely possible that some inefficiencies were buried in the current map

This is true, couple on top of the fact that I am sure they are way better at actually making/creating stuff than when the original was made it would only make sense they could make a cleaner better performing one.

I load really fast and don't have fps issues but anything that can make the toasters load faster is still a plus for everyone!

RiotDraggles claiming that new SU will run as smooth as it does now : leagueoflegends

Not just the code, we've heavily reduced the amount of vertices on the map, reducing some areas like wolf camp by 83%. Everyone on the team from Artists to Engineers are committed to make this run the same or better across the board.
Q:
What about the shaders and animations though? Those look a lot more complex than the current map.
A:
They're actually much less complex, just better execution which makes it look better.

Yeah that looks pretty awesome. I haven't played in months, but I'll get back into the saddle for a bit when the update comes out.

There any hints about a new champ or major rework yet?

Would be sweet if it actually drained mana from other champions. I don't think I've seen any actual mana drain in game yet. Could be good. Could be OP.

Would be sweet if you could get energy from that too thinking Lee sin.

mana drain would be too good vs any champion that uses it esp those with a small pool (think any top lane mana user) while those with energy, rage and what the fuck else are unaffected by it

Kassadin originally drained mana with his W, they removed it reallllyyyyy early on saying it was unfun for other champs. I mostly agree, not having mana is infuriating and one reason why Unholy grail is so popular :p

In Fantasy news, that's more like it, Millennium!

Yeah sounds like they made the right choice. I mean when used against manaless energyless people you could just debuff them with a marginal cooldown% increase. Subtract rage. Subtract energy.

Seems unfun, you're right.

I duno, some of these attack speed/mana drain/life drain upgrade might be really good on a TopTank Skarner build. But I thought I saw some more tweaks to him where they like halved all of his damage.

That mana weapon seems better for most ADCs... Lucian especially. I don't normally have mana issues as top lane.

The mana weapon are meant for your mana using adcs like Corki, Ezreal, etc...however doesn't mean it wouldn't or couldn't be some what useful on someone like irelia as if you are really aggressive with her she can chew through mana.
