Trundle spotlight looks fantastic
The Trundle champion spotlight is officially live and, I gotta say it, I’m really excited. His not only look good, they look fun, and fun without being clearly broken. There was no “Vlad moment” where Phreak explained how the champion was good at every single aspect of the game. It also wasn’t boring, like the Irelia spotlight was.
As an example, I made this YouTube Doubler video. I know that comparisons are somewhat odious, and not every champion has to have huge and glowing skills, but there’s definitely something to be said for producing cool graphics while also producing some solid game mechanics. Irelia doesn’t really have either of those things. When I watch those two videos side-by-side (turn the sound off, by the way, or your brain will explode as it tries to reach Phreak’s level), there’s no question which character I’d rather play.
Trundle looks great and everything, but I think the best update in this patch is the filter-nerf; lol, “Hey hun, what’s up?” won’t read as “Hey ****, what’s up?” anymore
I didn’t actually get the point of the double video side by side until there was 60 seconds of Ireria just standing still or dancing. That was the “ahah” moment when Phreak was showing that there really isn’t a lot to present about her.
That said, I played Ireria last night for the first time and I actually thought she was pretty fun, not sure if she is fun enough to unlock, but I really enjoyed using her.
I need Trundle though. I need Trundle like a fat kid needs a chocolate cake IV.
You are right, that was a pretty solid spotlight. Might have to log in just to grab one of the bundles.
