I'm not saying they are bad champion designs on their own, but the cross champion interactions make them stronger (to the point where i think they might be too strong) and a poor design because of that aspect.

I don't think either of the interactions alone are broken - they are nice additions and they're supposed to work well together - plus ot's far too early to say "This will break the kit" when we only just learned of the interactions less than a day ago.

In post 2796, JasonWazza wrote:*personal opinion*

Having looked over the design of the new champions, it just makes me slightly annoyed at how they decided to do this, having 2 champions linked in game is a good thing, having that link being champion specific is terrible, it would be like if kalista could only link up with one specific champion in league, it's limiting and stupid in how it's gonna work.

Especially since this is never going to make it to professional play or anything like that, because there is no logistical way that both champions should be up for the team picking second if they want to deny it (which their kits seem overloaded together)

as for non-competitive for people who want to play solo as bot or support, this essentially means relying on a random ADC/Support, to pick the other champion, or being at the luck of the dice as to whether you get one or both of the champs even when your duoing in ranked because of the unorganized nature.

While it's a great design, it's a terrible execution in terms of ever getting any useful play time until they become non-meta in anything other then blind pick.

/rant.
its fake synergy. riot fails at champion design time after time tbh

when your "interactions" are straight numbers changes they are poor implementations of synergy

Whether the synergy is fake or not (i would argue the synergy is enough given the ADC W passes on to the support) fact is they have to be balanced either around never being together (which should basically always be the case) or being together (which shouldn't realistically happen)

Meaning they are either overtuned when they are together, or undertuned when they aren't, and neither of those are really acceptable states to be in.

I just think it would be better if they made it so it could be with any champion (picking kalista style), and made it so balance isn't such an issue with these 2.

come back after a couple of weeks off of league
incredibly fed adc and support repeatedly throw the game by going for kills rather than objectives and the fiora on the enemy team 4v1s at all full builds
good to be back

disagree, maybe 5 of the last 20 have been "good" designs/reworks where they add unique flavor to the game and don't feel like rehashes. i'm referring to the gameplay designs. the character design are pretty good for the most part except for league of glowing eyes syndrome.

its probable i'm spoiled by my years of playing dota where every new release pretty much breaks meta for a few weeks

exactly my point. they are hamfisted as fuck.

an example of good synergy is alistar and kalista because their skillsets compliment each other
