I really hope you guys have already seen this, but here it is if not. “My talons are three and my charge is audacious.” Awesome.
Category: Video (Page 7 of 10)
A buddy of mine posted this on Facebook and I laughed just about the whole way through. Hope you guys have a happy Thanksgiving.
The Lux Champion Spotlight is now live and I am pumped for her release. She doesn’t just look cool, as was the case with Swain, she looks strong. I’m actually pleasantly surprised by the changes they made to her Prismatic Barrier, the skill that used to grant invisibility. It seems highly functional, though hopefully it’s not a crazy out-of-hand shield. I also loved the moment in the spotlight when Phreak caged Kennen way behind a minion. I just figured it caged an adjacent target, not that the binding kept moving. That will definitely make for some interesting gameplay.
I didn’t spend too much time thinking about the splash screen art in the game, until now. Riot released a time-lapse video that shows the creation of the Swain splash, definitely one of the cooler splash screens in the game, and it’s pretty awesome.
The video takes more than nine hours of work and compresses it down to just six minutes. It’s a great way to see the kind of care that goes into this kind of thing, and it’s a good resource for anyone looking to get into video game art creation.
I’m still in Ohio due to a family emergency for my girlfriend, but I’ll be trying to update as often as possible throughout the week. After watching this video, I’m crazy pumped to get back and give Swain a go, but I’m willing to bet he’ll become a highly desirable champion, much like Miss Fortune.
Swain borrows a skill from DotA’s Witch Doctor with Torment, which deals increasing damage based on the damage you deal to the target while Torment is active. From what I remember of Maledict (the DotA version), this is a really fun mechanic and it’s great for bursting down carries when you have a team with a couple targeted nukes.
You’ll also notice from the video that Swain’s ult works like Anivia’s, draining mana as long as it’s active but with unlimited duration and what looks to be a very short cooldown (eight seconds once Phreak has Deathfire Grasp and the golem buff in the video). All in all, I hope you guys have a lot of fun with Swain. I’m looking forward to getting some time with him.
