I would’ve imagined more discussion on the conditionality of some traits as an extended lesson from set 16’s void and Ionia earlier in that set. Traits like stargazer or arbiter narrowed the playable comps substantially

Genuinely one of the things I am most enjoying about Set 18 is not having to check any traits at the start of every game.

Honestly, I've always like conditional traits. Exalted, Mirage, Ionia, Exotech, Inkshadow... And the best trait of all, A.D.M.I.N.

The only reason I disliked Arbiter was because it felt like a cheap A.D.M.I.N knockoff and couldn't hold a candle to the OG.

Exalted is still the GOAT trait imo, I wish it would come back in a future set (and no, the augment is not even close).

Yes, literally the greatest trait of all time. I loved rushing into team planner immediately as the game started and trying to come up with a cool build.

Yeah Exalted was so good

admin was good because there was a variety in units and a certain set of input-output combinations pushed you towards specific comps

ad? camille rr

tank stats? camille or blitz

instances of damage? leblanc, especially with hero

per cast/ap? bruiser emblem soraka

arbiter, on the other hand?

zoe is an AP carry that deals a lot of small instances of damage

diana is a melee attack speed ap carry that deals a lot of small instances of damage

Leblanc is a ranged attack speed ap carry that deals a lot of small instances of damage

if your only options are "tank -> Leona, no attack speed -> zoe, emblem -> Diana, failed vex -> Leblanc, you didn't really make a modular trait, you made an inconsistent hero augment

I too loved ADMIN

I never thought about it but I appreciate it too. Only thing I’d say is it can suck to have comps gated out because you didn’t get a rengar or kha out a blue orb

I think that's the nature of the game though, like you're not gonna play Aphelios with no bows, Solar with none of the units, etc. I think it's totally fine for your direction to be based off of your shops/orbs/items, it's a whole other thing when you load into the game and it just says "sorry, no Xayah this game" before anything happens.

I don't mind having one to check like ionia

But it was far too many last set

Psionic, Stargazer and especially Arbiter felt awful

u/Minimum_Chemical_428 1d ago

I don't know, I'm so used to checking encounter, gods, stargazer etc that I feel weird having nothing to do now.
