“We made this hero bad on purpose.” Riot admits it was a terrible mishap
Riot revealed during one of the streams that there was a character in LoL that was specially created in the wrong way.
RiotAugust sometimes releases information on its streams that is incredibly interesting. This time, he shared with the audience the story of how one of the LoL heroes was treated. It turns out that Riot specially made him bad.
The reason for this is quite surprising. The character then had to undergo his transformation, because the developers already knew at the premiere that he would not be a good hero. You can see when the decision to save him was made.
The year 2017 changed everything. Riot then decided it was enough and changed… Yorick. It was exactly this hero that was created to be bad on purpose.
Why Yorick did not stand a chance?
Riot speaking of Yorick:
What is the reason? It turns out that Riot created such a strong special skill that the rest had to be very weak, just bad. The special skill was supposed to have the potential to completely destroy LoL.
Riot has moved away from this path, but there are certainly characters or mechanics that have been treated in the same way.
