[eternal palm]

that unflinching is nuts

[eternal palm]

that game was too easy

[night marsh]

[eternal palm]

[formal quartz]

Do you really need to ask us that?

[eternal palm]

going to take a break though

[night marsh]

all in a day's work carrying thugs

[prisma ravine]

How do you feel about Gwen finally getting a good skin next patch

[formal quartz]

Support yone doing as much dmg as mid thugs

[dapper kite]

@wheat notch how long does a round last?

[wheat notch]

[night marsh]

[prisma ravine]

From what I remember like

[wheat notch]

Yeah

[dapper kite]

i do have 20 minute break rn

[prisma ravine]

Now if only Viktor got a good skin again

[dapper kite]

[wheat notch]

[dapper kite]

arena

[wheat notch]

[dapper kite]

i dont think i like that mdoe very much tbh

[formal quartz]

Guy doesn’t like the new mode

Gettem!

[wheat notch]

[dapper kite]

mayhaps

[wheat notch]

would you like to stomp them back

[dapper kite]

oh i thought you were gone

[wheat notch]

wym

[dapper kite]

perhaps i misinterpreted the nyaruhodo

[wheat notch]

yeah i was like "ah ill just wait 15min np"

[dapper kite]

i got invited to a game of draft pick

[wheat notch]

[dapper kite]

ok just for clarification, do you want to do a game of arena after this ?

[prisma ravine]

If you want to play arena wintry

Im up for a round or two

I should study more but

Brain is fried

[wheat notch]

i might make dinner after ovvens games

[wheat notch]

👁️

[prisma ravine]

Sec

Do expect me to not play my best League ever

I am tired

[wheat notch]

thats' fin e

naafiri is finally out btw

[prisma ravine]

Pog

[formal quartz]

Can they jungle?

[wheat notch]

they shouldnt

[formal quartz]

Dreams shattered

[prisma ravine]

Damn I did less damage than wintry

(by 1k)

[wheat notch]

bad player

[slim terrace]

solved the meta

[prisma ravine]

Ok Kha sucks dick in the mode

Do NOT recommend picking him

[dapper kite]

@wheat notch before i start another game, you are still on route to make food after this one, right?

[wheat notch]

going to bed entirely tbh i think

[dapper kite]

Aight

[wheat notch]

ziggs diff

[prisma ravine]

Watch me do more damage

[wheat notch]

that horizon vision went crazy

ngl

[prisma ravine]

Way more 🙂

[wheat notch]

less than their kaisa

L bozo

[prisma ravine]

@dapper kite if you wanna play Arena

Im up

Btw good games Wintry

[wheat notch]

yeet

sorry if i seemed Aggressive

[dapper kite]

i am currently in a queue

for flex

[prisma ravine]

No worries

Also fair

[formal quartz]

Gn wint

[prisma ravine]

Ill just study then

[dapper kite]

have been, for the last 11 minutes

[wheat notch]

i mean ill still make the meal but

[prisma ravine]

Ping me if you change your mind tho

[wheat notch]

dont think im awake enough for more league lol

[prisma ravine]

And Im up for some Flex anytime after next week

(Gotta do my damned exam first)

[wheat notch]

nice the light novel is broken

[prisma ravine]

Oh so it is

[dapper kite]

ngl, "the light novel is broken" sounds like the title of a manhwa

[wheat notch]

it DOES

and now i want it

fuck

why would you place such a fate upon me

[formal quartz]

Time to start writing

[wheat notch]

I'm throwing this in the ideas box that is already overflowing with Way Too Many Ideas

[slim terrace]

it's not broken but it sticks at 90% for a while

well at least it wasn't broken for me

[wheat notch]

oh so the loading bar lies, as usual, snore

[slim terrace]

yeah they'd probably be better off removing the number

[wheat notch]

I'll give them credit the battle animations feel nice

[eternal palm]

Just won with Khazix

Ngl though

I wish the mode didn’t have augments

[prisma ravine]

Nah augments are what make it fun

But some of the balance is off

[slim terrace]

it's gonna be off for a bit like every new mode

but yeah augments are what level the playing field, hopefully they add in more over time

they claimed they wanted to make every champ viable and I was only really doing shit with renata after getting a couple augments

[prisma ravine]

Supports depend on the partner

The only class I would generally say is potentially on the weaker end is assassins

But that only is really true if your enemies are smart

Most are not

[slim terrace]

I've only faced one eve so far and she was irrelevant thanks to the fantastic job my yorick was doing zoning

those ghost boots are also fantastic for escaping, a lot of the time as velkoz I just could kill from over the wall with the 15% bonus damage at 50% or less hp augment

[prisma ravine]

Kha is bad but mostly because of yknow

The part where his Q doesnt work

Oh and ADCs look broken

[slim terrace]

play with a fiddle to abuse it :^)

[prisma ravine]

Granted I had perfect augments on Kai'sa but

I shouldn't have been allowed to do as much damage as I did

My guess is theyll tone down some of the ranged champs buffs

... I say that but they never fixed it in URF lmao

[slim terrace]

isn't this permanent though?

[formal quartz]

Apparently not

Since they’re talking about second time it comes back

[dapper kite]

@prisma ravine up for arena?

[prisma ravine]

Sure

Gimme like 5

Getting tea

[dapper kite]

👍

[slim terrace]

well either way if they're putting it in for different events I imagine it's pretty easy to create new arenas and map elements

like how they have sett, lux, samira and nafiri in there

[slim terrace]

yeah damn kaisa really does pop off in this mode lol

idk if this build is even decent but I'm trying stuff out

[wheat notch]

ovven does full ap and it goes hard

[prisma ravine]

Yeah crit is 💤

You dont have buildpaths

So Nashors first item goes kinda crazy

[prisma ravine]

So apparently

Everything works on Sett as if he was a champion

EXCEPT

Exactly Katarinas E

[prisma ravine]

Turns out

Getting Conq + Lethal tempo on Belveth

Goes kinda crazy

[wheat notch]

who couldve seen this coming

[prisma ravine]

Anyway gamemode is kinda fun

[dapper kite]

so true

[prisma ravine]

Also Naafiri carry™️

The best way to beat Zac as Kayle and Kassadin

[eternal palm]

Hence why I won with my partner being morde

[prisma ravine]

We tried that

We still lost

[eternal palm]

Also, I took the back to basics augment

It was surprisingly really good on kha

[prisma ravine]

Tahts which one again?

[eternal palm]

It stops you from using your ult

But increases your damage on everything else

You still get the passive bonus from the ult evolve though

Idk who else would want that other than kha tbh

[prisma ravine]

Oh

Hm

Maybe but tbh

I like Kha ult too much

Its such a good ability

[eternal palm]

It’s great and there was times I wanted it

But I think the extra damage was needed

Especially late game when you got crazy shit like GP 2 tapping shit

[prisma ravine]

Mmh

Anyway my early impression is assassins are a touch weak overall (Zed is probably good tho), ranged characters especially adcs are a touch overtuned, and bruisers and tanks seem just right

[eternal palm]

Eh idk about assassins being a touch weak tbh, I can’t see how Fizz doesn’t fuck shit up (other than this Liss + Annie combo we lost to)

[prisma ravine]

Havent seen Fizz yet

But my basic logic is that the bonus hp you get in the mode makes bursting people down harder, and assassins are a lot less good when they cant burst down

[eternal palm]

Yeah but shit like the 60+ ability haste augment let’s fizz just basically WQ into troll pole for free

[prisma ravine]

You still get diminishing returns, there is always a gap

Plus against ranged characters you wont get in without your E

[eternal palm]

just tried liss

it felt terrible

[slim terrace]

what I'm getting is that you need at least one front liner and one damage dealer

sometimes the damage dealer being the other frontliner

[prisma ravine]

You can win without a frontliner tbh

But its safer with

[prisma ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv7cjBQUihw

Wildest bug yet

[formal quartz]

Don’t use kayn btw

You auto lose first two rounds

[prisma ravine]

Thats not a big deal tbh

The first two rounds barely matter

[formal quartz]

True

I also fucked up and got wrong form first so I had to wait 2 more rounds

So I lost those two rounds too

[prisma ravine]

Just fyi red kayn is nerfed a bit in the mode

Though he still looks good

[formal quartz]

Oh I see

I guess I should’ve went fuck it blue

[prisma ravine]

Even with those nerfs I think red kayn is better lmao

[formal quartz]

Yea probably

[wheat notch]

Man I hate how the queue times become unplayable on my Level 12 account

It's okay Riot just pair me up with the 100s I can pull my own weight

[wheat notch]

🧍‍♀️

10 minutes to not even get my main role grumble grumble

[formal quartz]

At that point just play blind pick

[wheat notch]

blind pick still takes forever

anyways i lost because my support didnt have hands into thresh unlucky

time to look thru the jgl pool bc like hell am i playing botlane ever again

[eternal palm]

Idk how you play so many games a day, I played 8 ranked games yesterday and felt spent

Despite winning 6 of them

[formal quartz]

She ain’t old like us thugs

[wheat notch]

I would die from 8 ranked games lol ?

my max is like 4-5 per session

Arena isn't nearly as exhausting

and I've only played 2 normals today 😀

[wheat notch]

well i wouldnt die but i would def start playing really badly towards the end of it

grinding like that is bad for climbing

[formal quartz]

but streamers do it

so can I

[wheat notch]

streamers are built different

but they also gotta make a living

[night marsh]

tbf our crrent streamers are anomalies

usually like 8-10 was the amount

but people like tyler1 and karamasi

are just completely addicted

playing upwards of 30 games a day

sometimes off stream lol

[wheat notch]

ye t1s completely different

when i check one ziggs streamer his last 3 streams have been 2 to 3hrs so it'd probably be 6 games max

per stream

[formal quartz]

Pathetic

[night marsh]

whelp got placed plat 3 after all my provisionals

tragic but only up from here

#Gwensweep

[wheat notch]

why the hell does singed ult give him free morello

wtf

legit never noticed until i picked gwen in arena and suddenly didnt heal for shit against singed

why does lux have 19 skins lol

[prisma ravine]

Wait it does?

It does

Wtf

I didn't know that

[dapper kite]

that was changed a while back ye

like

a 1-2 years back

[night marsh]

teemo is kind of busted on arena

if you get any of the abilty haste augments

[eternal palm]

Enchanter supports feel pretty weak ngl

i would say enchanter supports feel the weakest out of any subclass rn

vayne is op as shit

[formal quartz]

Shen seemed op when I face him

[prisma ravine]

@wheat notch @dapper kite either of you up for Arena or Flex?

[wheat notch]

yeah sure

[dapper kite]

Eating dinner first then i could go for a few rounds

[prisma ravine]

👍

[wheat notch]

@prisma ravine

[prisma ravine]

Ye I realised what oyu meant

Guess Im picking Gwen next

[wheat notch]

twitch has -5% dmg dealt wdym overbuffed

smh

[prisma ravine]

Yeah but he gets like 20% free AS

[wheat notch]

surely we wait

so i can see who i need to play next

[prisma ravine]

No 😉

[wheat notch]

sighhhh

[prisma ravine]

You can open the mission tab in champ select

Bottom right

[wheat notch]

ye but the game isnt gonna end in 30 seconds

[prisma ravine]

Oh does the progress not happen?

Oof

[wheat notch]

the quest isnt progressing until that match ends

xd

[prisma ravine]

Pyke

[wheat notch]

too late

[prisma ravine]

Next should be Pyke

Yeah I had to google

[wheat notch]

cheater

ruining ur quest whimsy

<- googled how to complete the mission

[dapper kite]

i am available now

[prisma ravine]

Ok we can do flex then

God I am dogshit at Gwen lmao

[wheat notch]

is there a site

that shows how your wifi is distributed

bewcause what the fuck

[prisma ravine]

I solo-lost us that

Distributed?

[wheat notch]

like what the hell is mauling my wifi

to be causing me 700ping

[prisma ravine]

The wifibear

[wheat notch]

[prisma ravine]

Anyway get in here

Its flex time

[wheat notch]

im not joining if ill have 700ping

let me look shit up

[prisma ravine]

Coward

[wheat notch]

idk what any of this means

lemme just restart my router ig

[formal quartz]

And Wintry was never heard from again

[prisma ravine]

Somehow I am already plat in Flex

And Guy is still silver

How did that happen

[dapper kite]

Skill issue me thinks

Also i did lose my first flex game this season

[prisma ravine]

Ah thatd do it

Boosting you is gonna take a while

(What are you at now?)

[dapper kite]

Silver 2 23 lp

[prisma ravine]

Oh thats not too bad

Also I need to work on my Kai'sa again methinks

[wheat notch]

5possible

my zigmund still blessed

[dapper kite]

Good games overall, even if i threw exclusively fraudulent hooks in the last one

[formal quartz]

I threw my first two placements

[wheat notch]

its ok guy

i will charge you exuberant prices for the boosting anyways

@wheat notch @night marsh

[wheat notch]

best ziggs skin getting the rep it deserves

it's so sad the fighting game needs me to play >league of legends to play more of the fighting game

[wheat notch]

oh theres an announcement for that?

[wheat notch]

man

these soul fighters

fucking SUCK at arena

holy

they shouldve put alistar and heimer in this skinline

send tweet

[eternal palm]

Heimer is so obnoxious

I played vs him and tahm duo

[night marsh]

What does alistar do that’s so crazy in this mode

Cause everytime someone picks them, I feel like theyre griefing

Teemo and kayn are obvious op shit

Same for Heimer

[eternal palm]

Eh kayn is doable

Yuumi + x champion with sustain is aids

[wheat notch]

perma cc wont die healing sustain

also knocking people into the death zone

[wheat notch]

LMFAO?

YOU GET KICKED OUT OF PRACTICE TOOL IF YOU PRESS THE FAST FORWARD 10 MINS BUTTON FOR INACTIVITY

ok maybe it was a bug

but i got booted once and now i didnt

[slim terrace]

yeah someone posted on reddit about that

dumb bug lol

[formal quartz]

I literally did nothing lmao

[eternal palm]

Get carried scrub

[formal quartz]

Smh giving 0 gold is a skill

[night marsh]

better top wins

@formal quartz wya kid, lets go

[formal quartz]

my bad lol got super tilted

[wheat notch]

it was funny how little damage i did in the last game thuogh

caster minion roleplay

[prisma ravine]

So, a few days down the line, and it looks like the Arena meta has stabilised into ... ADCs + supports

Yay

Also

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/156kd58/the_magic_of_warwick_q_never_eases/

@dapper kite

[slim terrace]

[prisma ravine]

Dude hit that rail-grind

[slim terrace]

btw did they already put out the hotfix?

[prisma ravine]

For Naafiri?

[slim terrace]

it's a number of changes including arena rebalances iirc

but yeah it includes the naafiri nerf

the nerfiri, if you will

[prisma ravine]

Im pretty sure yes

Which ... buffed ADCs

Im not sure what Riot was thinking

[slim terrace]

did adcs really have that poor a winrate lmao

did they just pair with assassins too much

[night marsh]

Surely kasia was insane right

Felt like whoever picked her just won most of the time

Other adcs not named Vayne sucked though, I agree

[slim terrace]

kog + lulu is also a common comp cause juggernaut

I feel like taric just boosted so many adcs too

[prisma ravine]

Kaisa is insane in Arena yeah

But tbh all adcs are

The bonus stats means bursting them down is nigh impossible, their dps is absurdly high and the support can just keep them alive through non adc dps

[sullen crystal]

only 2 bans being on there is kind of cringe but it'd be hard to do more

like I'd love to ban uh
heimer
vayne
poppy
taric

at minimum

played against heimer teemo in one arena and it was actually the most unpleasant experience imaginable

[prisma ravine]

Heimer and Teemo did just get nerfed fwiw

[sullen crystal]

oh good

it was genuinely awful playing vs them

[prisma ravine]

Wait actually I might be wrong on Teemo

But Heimer was nerfed 100%

[sullen crystal]

thank you riot

I love soul figher

[prisma ravine]

Damn

[prisma ravine]

Oh man, fuck the Evelynn bounty quest

I dont wanna play bot games

[wheat notch]

isnt the eve quest just kill someone while charmed

i did it in arena on accident

[prisma ravine]

No, because then Id have it

Apparently

Its "kill someone while charmed and have no assists on that kill"

Which is a pain in arena

[wheat notch]

oh

What I learned from Clash today is

Nautilus is NOT for me

but Jayce is

:))))

[dapper kite]

jayce is a pretty sick champ

actually so fun

[wheat notch]

yea

[prisma ravine]

True!

[wheat notch]

very fun

do not like his stigma

[prisma ravine]

Q-E combo felt so broken when I discovered it for myself

[wheat notch]

loved half healthing lulu with 1 eq

but yea i guess i gotta put in more games on jayce while kaisa is this broken because we cant have too much ap on our team lmao

[dapper kite]

i love playing transforming champs, but the only other one i play is elise and i wouldnt exactly call myself "good" on that champ

[wheat notch]

had to pick jayce just bc rest of team was ap and i couldnt afford sera or swain atp

but it worked really well

[dapper kite]

basically an artillery mage if you think about it

[wheat notch]

he's classed as artillery yeah

artillery is uh

lux velkoz ziggs xerath jayce varus

and zoe depending on how she feels that day

[prisma ravine]

Zoe is more burst mage tbh

[wheat notch]

yea but phreak called hwr artillery in her champ spotlight so ratio

(she is not called artillery on leagye websites)

[prisma ravine]

Spotlights are also often wrong or outdated

Counter-ratio

Also anyone up for exactly 2 Arena games?

I have a premade mission

[wheat notch]

yeah sure

just give me a bit

[prisma ravine]

No worries

[dapper kite]

i am pro gramming

otherwise id join

basically finished tho tbh, i am just paranoid

[prisma ravine]

Hi paranoid, Im Ovven

[dapper kite]

paranoid was my father, call me just

[dapper kite]

i am done now

[prisma ravine]

Well, Arena is 2 max so

[dapper kite]

i mightve overestimated the amout of time wintry meant by "a bit"

[prisma ravine]

Tryhards picking Lulu Kayle

Smh

[wheat notch]

i just had to toilet smh

[prisma ravine]

This could've gone better

Maybe I just suck

Still, thanks for the games @wheat notch

Im done for now

[wheat notch]

np

[sullen crystal]

I don't know if I'm just bad but

it feels impossible to win lane vs aatrox

his q does too much damage and his healing is huge

then when he gets ult it's joever

I think I'm just bad

[night marsh]

it's ok. I lose to aatrox all the time

he is always the only laner I can't beat

[formal quartz]

You did fine against him in the game we played

[slim terrace]

good aatroxes are fuckin crazy hard to play against

I never wanna learn that champ though cause you gotta learn exactly how hard you can go and I'm terrible at that lmao

[severe cairn]

just go hard

all the time

[prisma ravine]

Fuck it we ball

[night marsh]

I was shitting myself irl

Had to change diapers afterwards

[night marsh]

They don’t even have to be good, sometimes they play like they have no hands and still win trades and it makes me sick

There should be absolutely no reason you miss all 3 sweet spots and still kill me because of your crazy overbuffed passive

Not even going to get started in how good his q as poke is under tower

[eternal palm]

I never play to win lane vs Aatrox

Unless my jungler is actually hovering top for once

[gray sandal]

You just don't have the mental fortitude bro. Ask tends for some help next time you rank

[eternal palm]

Geesh, you guys got tends into league?

He probably mains Ahri right

[night marsh]

He’s been playing for years

He’s an Ekko slave

[slim terrace]

ayy ran into a rioter and they gave me rp ❤️

enough to get fright night renata on sale let's fuckin get it

[wheat notch]

love getting blamed for inting when my support main had no hands :))))

imagine being handed the freest braum kill on a golden platter and u think "nah . ill just naut auto and back off instead"

[wheat notch]

crazy how the second i dont have to deal with a shit support in my lane i play well

[eternal palm]

this isn't the jayce gameplay I was promised

also what is that Olaf's build

[wheat notch]

idk but it looks fine 5o me

[formal quartz]

Steraks with only 1 other hp item seems odd I guess

But it did get buffed right?

[eternal palm]

well I'm more looking at his position in the team comp. You have great wave clear/zoning tools in ziggs and MF, they have a better teamfight comp, and nobody should realistically be able to match you in the side lane

[wheat notch]

our teamfighting was fine i just threw the final fight

i ate an ashe arrow and braum ult and they killed me and mf and then they just ended

bc our respawn timers were 40s zzzz

[wheat notch]

also I'm not so good with Jayce to bring him into masters lobbies lol

Clash is diff bc the ranks vary from gold to masters

but I'll play one just for you

[eternal palm]

stream it if possible also, i'm bored at work

[wheat notch]

idk ab streaming bc that might doom my ping

i can record it though

[night marsh]

anyone tryna play

[chilly ivy]

ig i got out of plat, but it's not as good now

[formal quartz]

Never understood why emerald

[wheat notch]

minecraft

[formal quartz]

How dare they

[wheat notch]

the children yearn for the mines

[wheat notch]

i beliebe in you hitting the diamant rank

🙏

[chilly ivy]

belief isn't enough

this is what i'd call

skill issue on my part

[wheat notch]

hey man

I'm losing in d4 rn

that means you can sack into d4

trust

[wheat notch]

[wheat notch]

I forgor

anyways

I will not take constructive criticism but here you go

[prisma ravine]

No Eclipse???????

[wheat notch]

Duskblade solos

[prisma ravine]

Eclipse is like, basically mandatory on Jayce smh

Ok but that aside

I do have one small tip

[wheat notch]

It's fallen off actually

[eternal palm]

I’ve seen pros going duskblade, I know the theory behind it, but yeah I’m an eclipse guy myself

[wheat notch]

I played it in my clash games and liked it

[prisma ravine]

When you want the empowered Q

The trick is to aim your Q, then snap back to your character and press E

[eternal palm]

But I’ll watch it in a bit, this G2 vs XL series is crazy

[prisma ravine]

It speeds up the second it touches the gate, so if you drop the gate basically on yourself

[wheat notch]

Yeah I know

[prisma ravine]

It becomes really hard to react to

[wheat notch]

I'm just rusty :)

[prisma ravine]

And its a lot easier than it looks

Ah, fair

[wheat notch]

u have to keep in mind

i have not played this champ consistently in 1 year minimum

[prisma ravine]

I wouldnt focus too much on item winrate, people sometimes buy items more if theyre laready winning

[wheat notch]

maybe even 2-3 years minimum tbh

[eternal palm]

Jayce is extremely fun

[wheat notch]

He's alright

[eternal palm]

He’s my go to AD blind pick mid

[wheat notch]

being one of the only 2 ad artilleries is a cool title to have i guess

[prisma ravine]

2?

[wheat notch]

varus is the only other one iirc

lemme check the wiki

ye

[eternal palm]

Doesn’t lethality varus suck now?

I haven’t touched non on hit varus in a while

[prisma ravine]

He's fine

[wheat notch]

No idea, but that doesn't declassify him I think

[prisma ravine]

Falls off like always, but strong in the earlygame

A lot of people are throwing by buying the wrong item on him tho

Like how people were throwing when they kept buying Eclipse on Varus

[wheat notch]

Yeah I just saw Humanoid buy it in LEC and then asked about it in my Clash VC because I was very skeptical of the item

and then bought it bc they said 'it good' :^)

[eternal palm]

Damn XL is throwing 😦

[prisma ravine]

Eclipse was good once

But then it was nerfed

And there was no reaosn to but it on ranged characters and it was ass

And people still fucking bought it

[slim terrace]

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/158gd3c/heres_the_10_best_and_worst_champions_for_arena/

bard is the lowest

[prisma ravine]

Bard looks to be genuinely bad

But I do find it funny how its pretty obvious half of the "10 worst" list is actually just really hard champs lmao

Eh maybe not half

But like, K'sante, Katarina and Akali aren't bad, people just dunno how to play them

[slim terrace]

I love how yorick is way up there though

[wheat notch]

friggin' sony

[slim terrace]

either the first or second game I played with yorick and that shit was a banger

[wheat notch]

(I'm more surprised literally every song didn't get copyright claimed but yk)

a whole 7 minutes of no claims lmao

[prisma ravine]

Eve ... doesnt super surprise me?

[slim terrace]

classic youtube

[wheat notch]

K'Sante is mid

[prisma ravine]

Nah he is top

[slim terrace]

eve seems absolutely terrible

[wheat notch]

he can be flexed

eve's not good yea

[wheat notch]

I mean it checks out

[prisma ravine]

Still need to do her mission

But Ill do it after I had my exam

[slim terrace]

he can flex indeed, he's very ripped

[wheat notch]

I downloaded a obs plugin to cut out the music anyways

only kept it in because this is like a

r/ygo discord server special™️

[eternal palm]

Akshan being that low does not check out

[prisma ravine]

Nah that one makes sense

His power is like all in his E

But the maps arent great for his E

Too easy to play around it

[eternal palm]

Both times I’ve had akshan on my team we’ve finished 2nd barely

[formal quartz]

Does yorick get any ghouls?

[sullen crystal]

god this game sucks

just have like the most mmr mismatched game ever

we have like the fucking navy seals coordinating ganks and flanks on us and we're probably gold at our very best

I'm barely iron lmao

graves has been perma in my jungle all game too

[formal quartz]

Graves is either absolutely suffocating to play against or half a champion

With no in between

Kai'Sa nerfs:

• Q AP ratio reduced from 30% to 20%
• W cooldown refund reduced form 77% to 75%

Twitter · Jul 24, 2023, 10:04 PM

Kai'sa nerfs and theyre ... really wack

Like the second one does basically nothing lmao

[dapper kite]

you just know someone at riot was triggered by that number

[prisma ravine]

I mean its funny because the reason its 77% is for pure aesthetics

It was buffed from 70% like 2 years back

Even down to 70% would be more of a hit

Q nerf isnt bad, but it suffers from the fact that Kai'sa doesnt evo Q until her third item

So the nerf is more minor for most of the game

I could understand being so light with hits if Shiv was nerfed but

Theyre not nerfing Shiv

So this is just barely gonna touch Kai'sa

[slim terrace]

I feel like her Q was less what was doing damage and moreso her passive and autos

but ig it's a thing

[prisma ravine]

It is a light nerf, yes

My personal prediction was Shiv nerf + AP ratio on passive nerf

Like 33% less damage to minions on Shiv, and passive from 5% per 100 AP to 4% per 100 AP

Oh wait its 6% per 100 AP

Then down to 4.5%

Hitting the waveclear means that Hybrid Kaisa has to decide again between rushing Nashors and having worse waveclear, or buying an extra pickaxe for the Q evo but delaying Nashors

[slim terrace]

did they not nerf shiv again for ap users cause leblanc is still building it

[prisma ravine]

And the passive nerf just makes her execute weaker

Yesn't

They nerfed its interaction with Harvester

The item itself is functionally unchanged

But yeah Im expecing these nerfs to still be updated later, but theyre weird for now

[formal quartz]

They also nerfed its minion dmg iirc

But people just got dematrializer to make it do dmg to minions

[wheat notch]

We're so back

It's so over

[prisma ravine]

Ok Kaisa seems to be getting an HP nerf too to hit her AD build a bit as well

And the Q nerf is bigger than I thought it was

The nerfs might be enough actually with that in mind

[slim terrace]

yeah apparently the Q nerf actually reduces ap kaisa Q damage by like a third (supposedly)

[prisma ravine]

I mean yeah

Well ish

It reduces the scaling by a third

The overall damage is down by like 25%, but thats still a lot

I thought it was just a revert

But no, its actually a nerf to less than it was before the buff

ehhhh

[prisma ravine]

Hm

These arent huge

But theyre something

[formal quartz]

Ayo taliyah jng back?

[eternal palm]

Taliyah def did not need a buff

[chilly ivy]

ok i'm quitting this game

why are ppl so braindead in this game

i really want to jump off a bridge atm

[night marsh]

She definitely does

This champ is so awkward rn

You lose so many trades early and your late needs 3 items to get to a feel good spot

Your wave clear takes everything

[eternal palm]

Nah, her laning is legitly so safe and she’s a monster at 3 items. But just like a lot of utility ult champions her win rate suffers

[night marsh]

All she is is safe

And if you’re doing that

You could just play lux or vex

Which are not only safer and faster/healthier wave clear. But can trade/kill

[dim kindle]

Taliyah has a lot of budget in her ult so her entire play pattern is try to shove lane and leave is much as possible enable your jungler

if she cant do that shes worse than every other mage

[night marsh]

^

[eternal palm]

Worse than every other mage is an overstatement, she has 1 of the best zoning tools in the game, all I’m saying is she’s in a fine spot for what she does, we don’t need Taliyah jungle running around rampant again

[night marsh]

But she’s not though

Going off winrates, she’s near the bottom of both mid and jg

Everything she does, another champ does better

[wheat notch]

god i hate queueing on alt

g o d i h a t e q u e u e i n g o n a l t

[formal quartz]

That’s a funny name though

[wheat notch]

i love adcs soft inting because of their massive ego instead of just Accepting A Free Win Handed On A Crystal Platter

[slim terrace]

yeah sometimes league players are fucking terrible at letting themselves get carried

[wheat notch]

Anyways

I am once again reminded how Xerath is allowed to deal significantly more damage with his abilities despite being also easier to land than Ziggs'

[formal quartz]

yea idk why he needed a buff

[wheat notch]

Because they wanted to push him out of support and back into where he should be

[formal quartz]

I guess it worked

[wheat notch]

Which they've partially managed to do, considering his mid playrate went from 29% to 41%

[formal quartz]

cause he hurts

[wheat notch]

My bigger annoyance is that I could've won this game if I was better

I'm so ass

yawn.

[wheat notch]

we're so back

taliyah is so much fun

actually excited for the buffs now

now im gonna look at my teammates' ranks and realise i was stomping silver shitters

Plat 1 / Season 6 D5 / Gold 4 / Level 26 / Level 27

lmfao okay

[wheat notch]

based !? !?

[wheat notch]

🧍‍♀️

[chilly ivy]

🛏️

[wheat notch]

my favourite part

of the trist mid matchup

is the part where there is no counterplay

and i just die for being slightly under my max health

[formal quartz]

roam once and your tower is gone

a lot of zigg's power budget is in his tower bursting e

then you got trist

[eternal palm]

Btw not sure if I mentioned this

But Galio is pretty fucking good in arena

Which any damage dealer

[formal quartz]

Wouldn’t a bruiser kill him?

[wheat notch]

god taliyah mid feels so shit

those buffs shouldve been more mid centric send tweet

[chilly ivy]

you mean send an x

[wheat notch]

drought be upon ye

[chilly ivy]

we just had rain

[eternal palm]

1v1 vs a bruiser you lose yeah

[wheat notch]

it will be the last rain of the season

[eternal palm]

But you basically do what ali does and provide a bunch of utility while also dealing out non negligible damage

Also, they almost always ignore you for the damage threat, which doesn’t work because hey look I got a taunt

[formal quartz]

Until the enemy gets black shield

What an obnoxious talent

[chilly ivy]

hots player detected

[formal quartz]

I hate hots

[eternal palm]

I miss hots tbh

It was a fine alternative

[dim kindle]

I still played it sometimes 2 years ago

[wheat notch]

dang that soul fighter banner is sick

[slim terrace]

what do you get it from? battlepass tokens?

[sullen crystal]

you have to beat the tournemant of souls on extreme

[wheat notch]

100% the fighting game

[formal quartz]

How you even play that mode

Well win

[prisma ravine]

Man

The fact that Riot gave Lee Sin a Q that does 3.45 scaling damage at max

Is just insane

Genuinely dont know what they were smoking

Like why can he just do a casual 600 damage in one ability at level 8 with 1.5 items?

[wheat notch]

poggers

Taliyah is officially my 3rd m7 on this account (with Ziggs and Swain)

[slim terrace]

nice

[dapper kite]

i have aquired the mark of the beast (otp)

[sullen crystal]

god

illaoi is such a fucking miserable character

the hitbox for ther spirit grab is bigger than it looks

they hit even after they die

i love walking out of exp range every time a skillshot hits me

[slim terrace]

congratulations on being the best hooker

[wheat notch]

lfg

[slim terrace]

damn I can't believe wintry is an e-girl now /s

[wheat notch]

always have been

the release xayah bundle was my first purchase in the game

[sullen crystal]

yawn kha when he's ahead is so boring to play against

I can't be alone on the map and even when I'm not isolated he just oneshots me now

[slim terrace]

at least he's better than twitch who does that too but from half a screen away

[prisma ravine]

That shouldnt happen

His damage is like, basically entirely in isolation

[sullen crystal]

well I'm afraid to tell you

it did indeed happen

[prisma ravine]

How fed was he?

[wheat notch]

😭 ??

[night marsh]

this your alt?

[wheat notch]

I am not YakInfinite6038

Reactive jungle legend

[slim terrace]

who is this dantes dude and how does he manage to cope this hard

agurin's got the winning formula highkey

[prisma ravine]

Hecarim streamer who is also

Uh

Unhinged?

Like not in a far right asshole way

But in a "this guy feels like he is actually crazy" way

[sullen crystal]

yeah dantes is literally uh

I think this man needs help

[wheat notch]

he plays it up for stream to be more memorable

https://youtu.be/Q9J-LpZpJk0

[dapper kite]

p sure that whole reactive jungling tirade was also a bit

[humble glacier]

Yeah i believe it's a persona for the stream, a streamer I watch would vouch that Dantes is actually a very nice person irl but

Dantes viewers are some of the worst people ever imo

Whatever gets views and money tho

I guess

[chilly ivy]

very good team 👍

i will surely climb

[wheat notch]

comet + dring ziggs

also playing xerath support

actually nevermind hes still somehow higher wr supp than mid

how cringe is that

[chilly ivy]

i'd play mid if riot gave me mid

i like champs i can play in both roles

[wheat notch]

i mean

i thought xerath support fell off

LIKE THE CHANGES WERE MEANT TO

but instead he only got better there xd

[formal quartz]

Any form of buffs is going to buff support anyways

[wheat notch]

the buff was literally "your passive regens less mana but each time you kill a unit the cooldown is lessened by 2 seconds"

that physically cant be a support buff unless you have relic shield up permanently

[chilly ivy]

the thing is

the 4s is mostly not significant

sure i can't spam q as much in the early levels, but i value the undodgeable w more

imo q is a waste of mana until rank 2/3, at which point you will be at the point you're close to getting the mana book

so you're getting around 30 mana per w cast, making w cost 40, which is little to nothing for it's ~13s cooldown

[wheat notch]

its not just the 4 seconds he lost 60 max mana lol

[chilly ivy]

idk, i seem to manage

[night marsh]

sanest league viewer

[formal quartz]

Why you screen shotting your own comment?

[night marsh]

[chilly ivy]

so i wanted to make an item set so that i don't have to search stuff and

oh and now the client crashed

lmao

[wheat notch]

ye no the sets are broken rn

likely bc of arena

[chilly ivy]

yeah pressing liandry's on the item set thing always freezes the client

i fucking can't

also another thing

there's two identical shadowflames but one of them is arena

[wheat notch]

i guess you shouldve made an item set before arena

[chilly ivy]

i wasn't playing a lot of xerath until recently

like last game i played him i did a big mistake and not buy liandrys

just cause i'm so used to ludens

if i have it in front of my eyes i tend to remember it exists

[wheat notch]

i can probably export my list to you right

this is what i use for ziggs

It's missing something but I don't remember what

[chilly ivy]

nah i'll manage

[wheat notch]

my list that ugly huh

[chilly ivy]

like i'd probably would have done like an 10k extra if i had liandry's here

[wheat notch]

rylais jumpscare

[chilly ivy]

ignore the idiots on my team

i wanted to try it

it sucks

[wheat notch]

no shit lmao

[chilly ivy]

the game was lost anyway, you could see it by the time i build ludens sorcs

like the 3 guys played like they had 0 object permanence

"omg where did that chogath appear from"

dude...

[chilly ivy]

sigh so is demonic

[chilly ivy]

ok so playing ranked again was a mistake

[severe cairn]

riot when they add anything new (suddenly everything breaks)

just make a new client already

enough with the spaghetti code

[wheat notch]

they already made a new client

[severe cairn]

make a newer one

[dim kindle]

playing league on a shitty mac is more tilting than the game itself

[eternal palm]

I have a friend that plays on a mac

and locked camera

[dim kindle]

Psychopath

though I think locked camera might actually help with how sluggish it feels

[prisma ravine]

@dapper kite @wheat notch either of ya up for Flex/Arena?

[dapper kite]

sure

[prisma ravine]

Fiora with cooldown reduction onhit is brooooken in Arena lmao

[prisma ravine]

Good games Guy

[dapper kite]

[slim terrace]

that sounds like a good lgs name

[night marsh]

Bro I’m fucking dead. The Chinese gave skin to this ori skin just for the sex appeal

[severe cairn]

I, uh

but

why

[night marsh]

I think they skins they’re getting new splash arts for are like high rarity gatcha skins or something

So this is to just drive sales for it

[wheat notch]

These are just chromas

I'm not sure why they're adding splash arts to specific chromas, but that's what it is

Someone mentioned they're raising the price of those chromas (to 100$??) so they're giving them splashes? shrug

[eternal palm]

Wait what’s the OG splash look like

[formal quartz]

Looks so much better

[night marsh]

Waiting for human form reksai skin

[wheat notch]

that just reminds me of arcana xerath

why did they do that lmfao

[slim terrace]

twinks get money

look at ezreal and aphelios

[gray sandal]

yikes

[humble glacier]

is she also a mermaid

[night marsh]

god I just want nidalee tos tep on me

[wheat notch]

okay?

[prisma ravine]

[prisma ravine]

So apparently Draven has +damage done and -damage taken in ARAM

... why?

Did they just mix those two fields up

[formal quartz]

high cieling champs are generally like that

which was why akali was a menace for a while

because the bad players dragged their wr down

[slim terrace]

and leblanc

and fizz

and yasuo, and yone

[prisma ravine]

Nah Yasuo and Yone just kinda suck rn lmao

Yasuo especially

But the problem is that Yasuo is likely balanced at a winrate of like 51%, and people would flip their shit if he had a winrate like that lmao

[slim terrace]

just remove him, problem solved

[prisma ravine]

Idk, Yasuo is kinda sick

And nowadays his banrate isnt even that high

But yeah, fun fact: Yasuo is the most mained champ in the game

By a very wide margin

[slim terrace]

I'm not surprised in the slightest tbh

[prisma ravine]

He is the only champ whose mastery curve in 1-100 games looks almost flat
