A very very very long time ago, if you started a custom game with no other players or bots. There was an extra menu with +100 / +1000 / +10000 gold and the same for exp. Or something like that. It was removed when they revamped custom games. I remember hearing something about the code being so shit you could enable those commands in game with a one line script. I have sorely missed it since then though >.>

Psst. The real reason is that they can't sell it or boost player volume with it.

yeah, this is why there's no reason to doubt their numbers; the behavior of riot is pretty consistent with a company that knows they're top of the industry and doesn't really feel like they necessarily need more people, just to keep their current ones more entrenched and spending more.

I think somewhere along the way the sandbox comment got retracted as something along the lines of "Intern who has no idea what he's doing said that. Ignore him, we're just not doing it right now because it isn't a priority."

I'm loving the new position-dependent matchmaking system, at least in theory.

No more matches lost because two dickheads spend the whole game fighting over mid and leave me as a support bot solo lane. I may even start playing ranked.

Now, now, there's no need to be hasty. 

But yeah, the new lobby looks pretty slick.

[RedKing]

Ambivalent about the new crafting system.

On the one hand, chance for free skins!
On the other hand, I don't particularly like anything that makes a game more like Hearthstone.
On the third hand (the location of which is best left to the imagination), the addition of semi-randomized "goals" within a match will definitely vary up the play style, but I worry that people will lose matches just because they're chasing their own individual goals and ignoring teamwork and strategic play. So in other words, business as usual.

[Putnam]

oh no what's this about goals

holy shit every time dota does that it's completely goddamn awful

[Flying Dice]

That's every single multiplayer game that institutes individual objectives.

[frostshotgg]

The crafting/chest system screamed CS:GO at me when I saw it, but as long as you get keys without having to pay for it I don't care much. I missed the bit about goals, can you link whatever post it was in? There's probably 5 or 6 about preseason changes so it's hard to keep track.

[RedKing]

Hmm, now I can't find it myself. I swear I saw something about goals (even with screenshots) but maybe I dreamed it.

[Putnam]

Yeah, I decided to look it up and see what you were talking about but couldn't find anything and figured I was just missing something due to unfamiliarity with their update announcement layouts.

[penguinofhonor]

.

[Putnam]

I meant goals specifically.

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, the crafting's more of the same mastery stuff, i.e. actually reasonable. It doesn't even encourage KSing that much since team performance ties in as well.

So newest champ revealed, quite quick after Kindred I must say, wasn't expecting it so soon.

It's basically a female Braum with a Cthulhu proxy fetish. Kit seems ok for the most part, really like the idea of the tentacles sprouting all over the place with time. Plus that E is pretty horrifying if it lands on your carry as it means either a dead carry or a carry that can't help in the teamfight anymore.
