쓰레쉬의 랜턴에 대해 라이엇 디렉터인 CertainlyT는 쓰레쉬의 랜턴을 침묵에 걸렸을 때 사용하지 못하는 이유에 대해서 입을 열었습니다. 또한 쓰레쉬의 렌턴을 어떻게, 왜 현재와 같은 방식으로 디자인했는지도 이야기합니다. 지금의 쓰레쉬 랜턴이 있기까지에 대한 라이엇의 이야기를 들어보고 싶지 않으세요? 그렇다면 아래 본문을 계속해서 읽어보세요!

침묵이 걸려있을 때에는 쓰레쉬의 랜턴을 사용할 수 없는데요. 어째서인가요?

좋은 질문입니다. 저는 다음과 같은 모든 종류를 반복하여 시도해 봤습니다.: 랜턴이 기절/침묵/기타 상태일 때 사용 가능하게 함; 쓰레쉬가 기절/침묵 상태일 때 랜턴을 사용 불가능하게 함. 만약 당신이 쓰레쉬가 비활성화(기절/침묵 등) 상태였다는 걸 인지하지 못한 채(당신이 이 능력을 사용할 때 쓰레쉬는 당신이 보는 화면 밖에 위치할 수 있다는 것을 생각하세요) 랜턴을 클릭했는데 아무런 반응이 없으면 이는 *극도로* 혼란스러울 것입니다. 그래서 저는 이 방법을 재빨리 버렸습니다. 이는 또한 수비적인 상황에서 매우 현실적이지 않은 카운터플레이가 됩니다. 쓰레쉬는 위험으로부터 보통 멀리 있거든요. (기절/침묵을 당하면 랜턴을 못 쓰게 해도 어차피 수비상황에선 쓰레쉬가 기절/침묵을 당할 위험이 별로 없기 때문에 쓸모가 없다고 말하려는 것 같습니다.) 그리고 공격적인 상황에서는 아무것도 도움이 되지 못할 수 있는게, 아군이 랜턴을 타려고 일부러 뒤쪽으로 이동했는데, 쓰레쉬가 침묵에 걸려 저지당할 뿐이죠. 만약에 이 중에 한가지만 문제가 됐다면, 이렇게(기절/침묵 상태에서 사용 불가능하게) 해도 괜찮았을지도 모릅니다. 하지만 수비 상황에서 카운터플레이가 불가능하다는 것이 결정적인 이유였습니다.


침묵만 걸린 상태(다른 상태이상 효과는 당하지 않은)에서 시전이 가능하게 하면, 이는 매우 직관적입니다. -- 무엇을 잡는 행위에은 말을 하는게 필요하지 않죠. 하지만, 침묵은 우리 게임 내에서 침묵이라는 뜻 그대로의 상태 효과가 아닙니다. (말을 못하게 하는) 이는 어느 종류의 능력도 사용하지 못하게 한다는 뜻의 일종의 비유죠. (침묵을 제거하는 능력은 빼고) 토글을 끄지 못하게 하는 등의 특이한 능력도 포함합니다. 자르반의 대격변을 해제하는 것 같은.. 저는 랜턴만을 위해 우리 게임에서 모든 곳에 똑같이 적용된 게임 룰을 깨는 것이 매우 껄끄러웠습니다. 만약 우리가 다시 돌아가서 우리가 정한 침묵의 정의를 개정한다면(저는 주로 반대하지 않았던), 저는 랜턴을 그 논의에 포함하는 것에 관심이 있습니다. 저는 지금도 적을 침묵시켜서 그들이 랜턴을 사용하지 못하게 하는 카운터플레이가 가능하게 하는 것이 가장 적합한 선택이라고 생각하지만 말이죠.

You can't use Thresh's lantern while silenced. dafuq Riot

Good question -- I tried all sorts of iterations of this: lantern usable while stunned/silenced/etc; Lantern not usable if Thresh is stunned/silenced. It was *extremely* confusing to click the lantern and get no response if you happened to not notice that Thresh was disabled (keep in mind that Thresh can be off your screen when you use the ability), so I abandoned that approach quickly. It was also a pretty illusory form of counterplay in the defensive case -- Thresh is generally far from danger here -- and was a real kick in the teeth in the offensive case, where your ally may have consciously moved backward to take the lantern only to be stymied by a silence. If only one of these had been an issue, it might have worked, but the lack of counterplay in the defensive use case was the nail in the coffin.

As to allowing the cast while silenced, but not disabled in other ways, that makes some intuitive sense -- grabbing something does not require speaking. However, silence is not a literal status effect in our game. It is a metaphor for not being able to use abilities of any kind (except those that remove silences), including such outliers as not being able to turn off toggles like the second activation of Jarvan Cataclysm. I didn't feel comfortable breaking a game rule for Lantern that was uniformly adhered to elsewhere in our game. If we go back and revise our definition of silence (something I am not principally opposed to), I'd be interested in including Lantern in that conversation, though I still think the counterplay of silencing an enemy to deny them lantern use is the best overall option for gameplay reasons, thematics be damned.
