    Today I had the opportunity to interview Steve "Guinsoo" Feak - the creator behind league of legends and DotA Allstars. Guinsoo was the original pioneer of most elements that are staples in every MOBA today. From being the first big developer on DOTA to one of the earliest designers working at Riot Games, he is truly the man responsible for League of Legends.

    When I heard you say Guinsoo was making his own MOBA I was pretty hyped, but after hearing about it and seeing the gameplay, I hate to say, but I am a little disappointed.
    The entire allure of League for me and most of my old League friends is the slow burn gameplay; The macro emphasis of league with cs leads, wave management, resource management, proper trading, understanding how to build, and a plethora of other things that build up into a win is why League is so fun, with teamfights being just a supplementary aspect. Dominion and the alternate gamemodes like ascension died off so quickly because summoner's rift IS League. That slow burn gameplay was what made it so popular, so the modes that lacked that were just a one or two off thing for most people or a quick break before going back to SR with it's high skill ceiling.

      @wowowowow1107 Před rokem

      Hey there! So I've always had a similar mindset as you (I LOVE hitting creeps/playing the map/etc). I've been in some of the play-test forFangs (the moba he's making) for quite a while and seen the various phases it's gone through and I'd really encourage you to give it a try, you might be surprised. There's a LOT more macro/moba elements and overall downtime than what meets the eye.

      If you've played the original DotA, there was an item called Guinsoo's Staff of Vyse where (and I kinda already forgot since it's so long ago) it used to silence people for like 3 seconds and it gave very high intelligence, which is a stat that most caster heroes utilized because it directly gave you mana.

    really enjoyed this interview, it was cool to be able to hear him talk about the past work and how its brought him to this new project, especially with how much trouble other games have had trying to do a 4v4 version. if anybody can do it tho, its him.
    also the new mundo rework dropped and im dying to know your opinions on it. personally, i've been messing around with some builds and im pretty sure hes late game broken. not only not killable but also probably the strongest tank in the game now. give him life steal, and ability haste with just a dash of attack speed and i think its pretty much GG. would love to know what you think.

    I think URF showed that the downtime in game, a chill lane phase with just farming, shoving out waves in the lategame, etc., is necessary for a game to be sustainable to play for months or years. Think that was a reason battlerite failed - it was just full on action all the time, no time to catch a breath

    Oh jesus a new Gbay video and it didn't pop up in my recommendations. Shame on you CZcams, especially since this is one that actually caught my interest again, despite not really watching league-related stuff since season 9 rolled along. (Aside from very selected videos here and there regarding specific things or the occasional "big play" video that my pals talk about)
    Now let me actually watch this though.
    Edit: I've watched it by now. I always wondered why it was "rageblade", I'm so happy to finally know. And somehow it's even funnier for me cause it was for corki.
    Guinsoo seems quite thoughtful and enthusiastic, I like that. Gonna check out FANGS next I suppose.

    For long-time Dota players, it hurt and sucked what he did to the community when he joined Riot. But in the end, he REALLY was the man behind the MOBA genre that we know of today. Eul established the foundation, IceFrog introduced balance, but this guy introduced all the other macro shit that we have to deal with in the game.

The games were too quick and too intense, the burnout may come sooner rather than later so I hope they get a mode or some inbetweens down moments so people can cool off.
