Succinct and Timely LoR Announcement Thoughts
Вставка

- Good Morning!
I'm pretty late on all this and the way I went about this video was VERY different to how I've seen others go about it, but that's alr imo. You get what you get with Spidz UA-cam.
Some Notes
- I did record this over a week ago, and some of my thoughts & explanations have changed.
- The visual representation of the 'personality matrixes' don't FULLY align with my explanation -- I'm not an artist nor an animator, so I struggled to figure out the best way to visually explain. People obviously have way more than 8 traits, and LoR is only trying to apply very nichely to a life. When the visuals get more complicated, I think the visuals fall apart on what I actually want them to mean, but I tried my best lmoa.
- One MAJOR part about the personality-matrix analogy that I forgot to mention is that LoR has always been able to appeal to multiple different niches despite being a single product (I don't just mean PoC v Expedition v PvP v etc., I also mean gameplay styles and goals to get from a game, such as rank climbing/deckbuilding/etc). This is why LoR's spines always have things that I or the Profile Picture Character do not have -- This is a good thing for LoR, but also shows why thinking other LoR players are wanting the same thing as you (as you assume all LoR players have the same view and spines of LoR) is a bit wrong.
- Also, I think "personality matrix" is kind of the wrong term. What you see in the video is more of a "hobby matrix", which would look similar to a personality matrix. LoR can be more than just a hobby (i.e. LoR fulfilled some spines of mine further than hobby - Casting and Content, for ex), and also your personality shouldn't be able to be COMPLETED FULLY by simply 1 video game, but my inability to visually represent my idea perfectly hopefully doesn't make the video non-understandable.
- For some people, other games can never fulfill the spines as LoR, and that's ok. LoR could be a very unique spine for people never to be replaced.
- This video doesn't have a 'main thesis' like most other videos about the announcement. It's mostly just a collection of thoughts I have from the announcement.
- I wish I had spent a little bit more time talking about what I loved about LoR -- highlighting specific moments & events & people that I cared for deeply. The fact I never mention playing in Aegis seasons is a big miss imo.
- I don't think I do a particularly good job articulating why I would prefer to move to a non-card game over a card game. Roguelikes and other games that I enjoy are typically more enjoyable to me than [random card game] in general. LoR was a lightning in a bottle for me in terms of games that I like. I struggle to play Card Games that don't have a beautiful gameplay cycle, UI, interface, visuals, etc. Roguelikes, however, have always consistently provided me with constant enjoyment, almost universally. There are very few roguelikes I don't enjoy. I maybe have a 90% hit rate with roguelikes I play, and probably something like a 33% hit rate with CCGs.
If you have any thoughts do lemme know. - Ігри
a spidz video is never late; always cromulently timed.
i hope you’ll still make videos, even if they’re about roguebuilding decklites
Just watched the video now, coupled with playing the last open, even if before I hadn’t even been playing LoR very much. I wanted to say thanks, I didn’t interact in a very active way with servers and stuff, but your channel was a place to be part of a discussion that could take its time about a lot of aspects of the game. Your perspective was really interesting to me, that, the montages and stuff on the first CDS, the considerations on gameplay lines, it engaged me a lot, and all was done with great care, and genuine passion, it was a small audience and whatever. It’s like that thing in catcher in the rye about wanting to be friends with the author at the end of a book. You do whatever you want, and there are gonna be people wanting to listen to it :) (As long as it has google slides)
Also linguistics and philosophy are very cool topics :) (in a very not-cool way)
So i topped 6 seasonal + LCQ this year and i didn't make worlds cause i didn't ladder when i should have, and didn't play most of s1 events, but my new years resolution was that i would play worlds 2024, so we were shitting and giggling around the house about how crazy is that i was so close to go pro on something i was doing in my cellophone and then it was DEAD, so yeah blindisghted we got indeed rsrs
I actually did 0 star Veigar against Kai’Sa, I did have him leveled and with relics though, but it was a challenge!
And I do feel you on upgrades, I actually keep champions at 0 star as long as possible to enjoy that challenge, I totally feel you on the level down! There are many champions I upgraded when I was a noob and they’re too strong now.
Yeah the relics / levels thing changes it a little. I’m pretty sure he was 9 when I was doing it, which is a little young, but he wasn’t old enough to have autonomy yet.
I guess poor example on my end though haha.
@@SpidzWT no I get you, Veigar doesn’t really come online until like level 21 when you have 2 rare relics slots, +2 damage on pokey stick, the draw a champion power, etc.
I like the relic system because it reminds me of training Pokémon, you can make a tanky Leblanc or an overwhelm Nasus.
@@imoj ye ye. I really enjoyed doing this towards the start of PoC, again like you upgrading champs ASAP (which saddens me too - I love Illaoi but she was 3 starred instantly :(). I, midrange pilled, always added the ‘give challenger to all allies’ relic lmoaa.
There’s so many pretty interesting relics I’ve seen people mess around with since I last played excessively haha.
@@SpidzWT oh my god I 3 starred illaoi too soon too!
And I love Laurent Bladerack! I actually used it with Yi and Ashe to defeat everything up until galio.
I just love completely dominating the board and not letting the ai have any units around, lol. Quite different from having to scrape by every point of damage in PvP
I remember talking to Priest when the news came out, he was really upset, specially considering how the patchnotes were about to release. Quite a shame honestly, the game never mattered too much to me but seeing people like him and you, who have enjoyed the game for 3 years at this point, have to deal with this now... definitely sucks. Also on the topic of roguelikes, i feel like i have recommended it before but you should prob give Noita the 90% hit rate shot, i think you might somewhat like it's strategic gameplay? emphasis on MIGHT. Besides that, i wish you good luck during Aegis! :)
Noita is on the list dear eggs, I just have to get through 30 other goated roguelikes that also happen to be on the list first 😩. But I’ve seen many an interesting thing from noita prior
