Oh shit he was totally caught out . . . when he straight up admitted to it . <| sep |> Bruh chill Jesus christ <| sep |> I thought they had abandoned muricaland controlled domains , though . <| sep |> The one that is the most comfortable <| sep |> Well , the thing is , most of the basis for the code was done . Sure , you couldn ' t just ctrlcctrlv the code but you had an understanding of how it was supposed to be . Trees did this . Runes did that . etc . Part of design and coding comes from creating features and things that either become heavily modified or never make it to release . Having a clean blueprint of how things are supposed to go is massive . It ' s also why most things in league are coded as minions . Do we even have code related to a pickup style item ? Do we have the groundwork laid out for something to channel ? And again , for features , the improved codebase makes it far easier to work on things . Foundation is key and DOTA 2 had an extremely strong , great foundation in the Source engine comparative to League ' s . whatever they want to call it . No argument on their sandbox reasoning however . People blew them up about that and they backpedaled hard .
