Font gen working as intended or not?

So if you and your opponent both have a champ in a neutral font and your opponent leaves the zone giving you the font at the end of his turn, you do not get the 12 nora at the start of your turn. Considering you have owned the font for a turn (even if it's barely that) and you're allowed to deploy in the zone then surely you should be generating nora from it.

Also sorry if this makes no sense, I can barely describe it in text and I had to use a custom game to show what I meant :L

 

I thought it actually gave the 12 nora, good to know.

 

if I understood, then the rest of the things around here should be able to

 

Well, that's weird.

Guessing nora actually generates during the font check phase rather than with other BoT triggers? Either way, this is pretty huge if it is WAI.

 

Really good catch hospy

 

WAI, due to KB etc.

 

That makes no sense though. You knock them out of the font in your turn, meaning your opponent has another turn to recontest before you would gain any nora from it.

 

I see what you are saying. Didn't read it close enough.

You have to occupy an uncontested font for a turn to gain the font. So that turn you're talking about is used to gain the font.

A gained font generates nora on your turn start.

It's always been this way and I personally think that it's set up properly. You've just gained deployment access, if you gained nora as well it just enhances the snowball effect of being up a font.

But I'm guessing you aren't entering an argument one way or another, just seeing if it's WAI?

Another way of looking at it:

Your turn starts, process checks for fonts owned, awards nora, process checks for presence of champion in uncontested font, awards font.

 

Please don't make the game more complicated.

Just fix the fonts.

 

While its certainly possible to explain it in such a way that it makes sense for it to not award nora, I think it would be better to just change the ordering. That said, I have no idea how clean the code is for that segment of the game or how easy changing it would be. If it isnt too difficult then it should be definitely be changed. Other than killing the opponents shrine, controlling fonts is one of the primary objectives in the game. If you mess up and forget to keep a champion or relic in a contested font and give it to the opponent then it should hurt. A lot.

 

I would not change the order. Being up a font gives you deploys, it does not need to be snowballed by also giving you an extra 12 nora.

 

when did it start working like this?

 

I could have sworn you gained 12 nora if this were to happen? Was it always like this or did it change somewhere down the line O.0?

 

i'm 99% sure it's always worked like this

leave it alone.

 

Side fonts that you have to go out your way to capture/obtain should be strickly for resources. Where as those crucial mid fonts should be dedicated to deploying. Losing the mid font shouldn't always mean you're going to be down on nora for the rest of the fight more often then not resulting in a loss. You should be able to come back from situations like this with good placement and surprise turns.

 

It happens 100% of the time that this topic is relevant. And in those cases, I see no reason to make that interaction any different than it is now and 1 reason to keep it the same.
