Lol Mobility Creep

"I just want this conversation more than the angry one - and I'm fine with critiques, but the rage is just noise in a sea of more noise. This, however, can be constructive!

Mobility Creep has occurred, but I think this is spoken about as the problem as opposed to a symptom. The problem, in this case, is where we had champions not giving up anything when they contained mobility. This was especially rampant in 2011, but the problem is rarely the mobility itself and more the underlying design problems that lead to problematic mobility.

One example is how Vi's ultimate was talked about a lot as "mobility creep." I think the real problems occur there when there's no meaningful recourse to that move, her being able to move far is fine - provided than when she does, you have actions that make sense to deal with her. Some of this is the CC immunity, some of this is her raw brawling power when she gets there. If some cost is paid, actually or strategically, then the skill can avoid this pitfall.

So, I think Mobility Creep isn't a major issue - mobility tends to create interesting and dynamic fights and is fun to use - but the issue, like true damage, % HP damage and other mechanics we've done this with, is in how and where it is used.

I edited my post, but in the initial barrage of "there's Morello - get him!" from me returning to the forums, I read yours too quickly. I did say melee ADC would be -better- this season, and they are, but I also claimed I didn't think Season 3 would fully solve the problem. I think that's been pretty accurate overall.

Now, let's put this thread on a good note; let me tell you two must-haves for Season 4 to ship successfully in my mind;

We're going to significantly improve, and ultimately fix, jungle and support gold flow. I feel this is one of the most painful areas of League, and one that can be fixed. A lot of the satisfaction in League is growing in power over time, getting items, and...
