League of Legends

[dim kindle]

is really good

like all items got nerfed

cosmic got away pretty strong

[wheat notch]

i feel like cosmic got the shortest stick ever because they killed its passive and now its effecitvely just a stat stick

like i did liandrys cosmic aurora

its just not there vro

it only felt ok because of the 25 haste tbh did not like anything else there

[dim kindle]

i mean

i just feel the opposite

cosmic feels strong to me

[eternal palm]

tbh I hate how their answer to fix AP itemization was just "add more AP to stuff". I do enjoy the fact that we have 2 ap pen items though

but in making that, you just made zhonyas an autobuy for any champ that remotely benefits from ap ratios

ie kaisa (even if going on hit) or jax

[wheat notch]

2 ap pen items except you got significantly worse at killing tanks we fucking love to see it baby

the mage item update and we got ufck all !!!!!!! its all so bad

[eternal palm]

they have 0 idea what to do

and ap assassins are still in the gutter unless your name is Akali

[wheat notch]

my favourite part of playing a mage is the part where i am entirely reliant on a teammate buying abyssal mask and they never do

diamond 1 btw 😁

[dim kindle]

well tbf ever since the patch where they reduced value on all items

ap has been quite low

[eternal palm]

I just want to play fizz man

is that too much to ask for

[wheat notch]

yes

fuck fizz

[dim kindle]

he just got pretty good buffs no?

[eternal palm]

slight buffs to q and activated w ratios

[dim kindle]

those are the ap ratios he lost earlier in the year

when all the burst items were bursted

[eternal palm]

I also played jayce recently and he felt terrible, granted, I was playing into a pretty bad comp for me

[dim kindle]

sounds cool but idt i can stay on a consistent schedule for it

here some highlights of post buffs swain

all roa builds

[eternal palm]

oh btw

I hate the fact you have to reactivate his pull in order to do it now (that should tell you how long its been since I last played swain before the rework)

[dim kindle]

nah man that shit is way better now

[eternal palm]

I hate it

[dim kindle]

you will adjust

just pressing e again si way better than the mouse input esp when ur kiting away

in general spacing is just way more important on the champ now

but i think his base damage is a bit too high on Q rn which is making these tankier builds a bit too efficient

also i think the swain death Q is so funny

it happend a lot of times to me this past week

your Q just comes out after you die when it just comes up as you die basically

if u spam q hard enough

thats what happend to luc in the first clip

[wheat notch]

i legit thought i queued a normal and then freaked out when i saw +20

[eternal palm]

Wow, bragging about casually going 14/3 without trying

I would have blocked you if I was on the other team

The hell you apologizing for after whooping my ass

[wheat notch]

i was apologising to my team for doing an inter build

I LEGIT JUST WANTED TO PLAY A 4FUN NORMAL

cuz ive been spamming bruiser aurora in norms

and its like okkk

its fun enough

[eternal palm]

Clearly that build is broken and you should do it more often

Ignore the 1 game sample size

[wheat notch]

its a 2 game sample size

[wheat notch]

i mean i was trying btw

i just wasnt super locked in bc i thought it was a normals

idk akshan cant do a whole lot when i rush frozen heart

Do yall prefer stride or tf on ambessa?

[prisma ravine]

Remind me when all episodes of Arcane release, its some time november right?

[dapper kite]

Last batch releases 23.

[prisma ravine]

Gracias

Yeah Ill probably just wait and then bingewatch it

[prisma ravine]

Wait were these episodes always 40 minutes?

[bold stirrup]

Yep

[prisma ravine]

... might have to watch some before the last 3 get released then

[eternal palm]

@dim kindle gg's sorry for the throw

[dim kindle]

i got cc killes before zhonya like 3 times in a row xd

[wheat notch]

Ah well you know

[wheat notch]

[eternal palm]

Congratulations!

[dim kindle]

pyke yuumi is wild

[wheat notch]

yeah he was inting bc he was mad he didnt get an engage supp

[wheat notch]

Potentially the funniest triple of my life

[severe cairn]

I really want them to give vlad an ASU

bring him more in line with how he looks in LoR

Blood Lord with modern-day gramphics would be so cool

[eternal palm]

You’re going to get reworks to the latest champs like they did with smolder and aurora and you’re going to like it

Sorry I don’t make the rules

[night marsh]

Riot is going to have to perform miracles to wrap every story up in 3 episodes

Unless each episode is an hour+ long

[night marsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROH0Z2PiHqg
even tft is getting arcane-level animations
r.i.p LoR

[prisma ravine]

Ok finally watched act 1 of Season 2 of Arcane

Pretty good

Ambessa is a pretty neat character

[prisma ravine]

Probably finish the season as a whole tomorrow or on friday

And then I can watch act 3 when it comes out

I really hope they dont screw Viktor up

Apparently DK announced BeryL later than intended cause he had to attend a Genshin Impact promotional event, which you can only do if you’re a Free Agent without any ties to other games so they waited till he was done 😭😭

Arcane Season 2 act 2 episode 5: ||Oh Jayce has completely lost his mind huh||

[prisma ravine]

Wait since when ||does Jinx have superspeed?||

[sinful frost]

Could be an ||adaptation of her passive?||

[prisma ravine]

Maybe

Ok, all caught up

I wonder how theyll tie this all up neatly

[sinful frost]

Three more episodes, right?

[prisma ravine]

Correct

[night marsh]

Shimmer boost from last season gave her the powers of a crackhead

What’s funny is, ||I think Jinx has lost every fight this season||

[bold stirrup]

||I mean she keeps winning the war lol||

||Sevika still got her gas bombs delivered to Topside and she was still able to save Isha and Vander/Warwick||

[dim kindle]

||ye after silco used shimmer to save jinx after her near death with ekko she has schizo crackhead power
she is actually pretty strong in close auarters||

Twitter · Nov 23, 2024, 3:27 PM

[night marsh]

ambessa would have folded if she saw ez

[severe cairn]

Ezreal would pop his ult all the way from Shurima and since it's global it snipes Ambessa all the way in Piltover

[dim kindle]

ambessa wouldve gone for ezreal faster than he can blink away

[wheat notch]

Gwen is such a disgusting champ man

what the fuck

i love that i cant do anything to her without walking inside of her little circle where her q does 90% of my hp and then i die

and the circle lasts long enough to take both nexus towers from full health

sorry for playing man

Viktor will be getting a full League of Legends visual update and rework based on Arcane

It will update all of his skins, and it'll release on December 11

via @LeagueOfLeaks

Twitter · Nov 24, 2024, 6:08 PM

come on bro

arcane spoilers btw so don't click it if you haven't seen

[prisma ravine]

I mean

We basically knew this already tbh

[sinful frost]

I wonder if they'll make a Classic Viktor like they've done for other major overhauls

[severe cairn]

I hope so

I'm not a fan of his new design

[sullen crystal]

as long as we keep the E

that's all I want

[severe cairn]

aeri this is so funny out of context

[dim kindle]

yeah i really hope classic viktor or creator viktor are banger

usually they dont make classic skins anymore

but surely one of his skins will come out looking more robotic xd

[severe cairn]

creator viktor my beloved

please don't change too much

[wheat notch]

https://www.twitch.tv/rosehan_lol/clip/HumbleBlindingJaguarPunchTrees-CYoCs8bbvs5vCsow

beep boop

[prisma ravine]

Still cant decide on if I want to pick up the prestige swain skin

[dim kindle]

its not bad but after the novelty wore off ive preferred other skins again

it has a lot of unique sound design

Seems dumb

Rewards holding on and enables comebacks

[night marsh]

im not a viktor player or anything but just from a visual perspective, his reworked look looks like a downgrade

[severe cairn]

it pretty much is

[prisma ravine]

Im mixed on it

I dont mind the new aesthetic, but I dont like that he is thinner and I hate that he floats

[night marsh]

yeah he looks like a walking stick

[prisma ravine]

Oh apparently he only floats on ult cast (?)

If true thats much better

... also they basically only changed his ult slightly

It doesnt even seem like they fixed his Ws bugs

[sullen crystal]

I died of cringe

[prisma ravine]

You only can get those if you get the first turret or first blood iirc

[night marsh]

I can't possibly see these being a good change

[prisma ravine]

Not sure, Ill have to see them in action tbh

Its a way to reward pulling ahead early without snowballing via gold

[sullen crystal]

not a fan

[night marsh]

I'm going to be a very angry camper if my bot lane loses a very avoidable 2v2

[prisma ravine]

You can also only get them after 2 full items

Oh its first blood, turret or first three epic monsters

Yeah Ill have to see them in action, this could go awry

I figured a tank cant really get those, but if drake is enough

[slim terrace]

dang riot pushing all these early lead buffs to encourage banger pro games

[eternal palm]

nah, they just want me to get challenger on Fizz

shoutout Riot

hun that's only if you get the first blood

Riot Meddler confirms Shyvana's VGU won't be in 2025

Twitter · Nov 25, 2024, 5:20 PM

ok

but Viktor can get his express shipping vgu at the tail end of 2024

[slim terrace]

they're saving her vgu for the demacia chapter of arcane

[severe cairn]

they probably fired everyone working on her VGU both times

lmao

[eternal palm]

Should have been in arcane bozo -riot

Realistically, just because I like Arcane, does not mean I’m going to want to play league

So weird they think the crossover appeal is there

Maybe if they had an MMO

[prisma ravine]

To be fair, his VGU isnt a VGU, its basically an ASU

Whereas with Shyvana its the gameplay part theyre focusing on

[sullen crystal]

insane that we're waiting so long for shyvana's

riot really fucked up announcing it

[slim terrace]

was that not the one that was voted on?

[eternal palm]

Where’s the gragas vgu

Man has had nasty ass feet for years

[prisma ravine]

Ok having had some time to think about it ... yeah the Viktor "VGU" kinda sucks

Mostly because Im realising that it means that the Viktor we will get in-game is now a Viktor whose vision of the glorious evolution is doomed to failure

It should've been a legendary

[severe cairn]

they're changing TP

you can't TP while in combat anymore

[eternal palm]

So does damage cancel tp?

[severe cairn]

I think so

can't seem to find that part but these changes sound eh

[night marsh]

very good change

[prisma ravine]

Arcane Season 2 act 3 spoilers

||Interesting idea for a Viktor skin, basically Jesus!Viktor||

[night marsh]

what skin is this

[wheat notch]

||arcane saviour viktor||

[night marsh]

||is this supposed to be the future one or something? or just a what if skin||

splash looks fire tho

this is trolling though, especially after how he appeared int he show

[night marsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHTIrkYHn3Y

[severe cairn]

WHAT DID THEY FUCKING DO TO YOU

[chilly ivy]

viktor rn

[severe cairn]

BRING HIM BACK I DON'T WANT THIS

[sullen crystal]

also crazy they did nothing with his W

his worst ability by far and they do nothing with it

[severe cairn]

they should've reverted it tbh

drag them all in the center if they get stunned, who cares

[severe cairn]

they just made him knockoff hwei I feel so sick

[prisma ravine]

Oh they did something with the W actually

Its rescripted, so hopefully the bugs are fixed

Which was 100% the biggest issue with the ability

Also hot take: I think this redesign actually works quite well, other than for Deathsworn

I like new Creator Viktor a little better, only the arm-cannon is maybe a touch worse

High Noon also looks better if he gets back the orb and the glow on the cape

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uAKf2nogtM

[severe cairn]

I hate creator viktor, personally

[prisma ravine]

Fair

Its personal preference

I like it, and Im glad I have that skin

[severe cairn]

it just sucks that they're forcing this redesign in and erasing the previous identity altogether

I haven't been this dissatisfied since the mordekaiser rework

[prisma ravine]

Eh, the previous identity is still there, its still Viktor, just slightly further along in his character arc

[dim kindle]

the only one i can stand looking at is prototype

everything else is horrible

[prisma ravine]

Disagree, I think Death Sworn is the only one thats a strict downgrade

Base ... yeah I do prefer old Viktor but the new one isnt bad

Full Machine is way better now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhXyu6DsZzU

Oh, we got the VO before we got what the skin looks like

Wack

Anyway, just need to see gameplay now, but tbh I'm actually mostly fine with this now

The only part that Im iffy on is that this version of Viktor has a vision of the glorious evolution that, unless they explore it further in another show, is doomed to fail

[severe cairn]

I don't mind a skinnier viktor but I prefer the old proportions

[prisma ravine]

Thats fair

I think I do too, except for High Noon

For High Noon the skinnier proportions actually work much better

Still I expected way worse, and Im actually decently happy with what we got

The VO is a massive improvement, which isnt terribly difficult but eh

Like his old voicelines just basically made him a saturday morning cartoon villain, they never matched the character he actually was, and the new ones do

[prisma ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np_sR8vOVPc

[eternal palm]

Why is Viktor just casually 5’11 90 pounds now

[prisma ravine]

Arcane had him start out as a frail undercity dweller

[night marsh]

It’s to reflect his playerbase

[eternal palm]

Yeah that’s a fact

That’s definitely you @dim kindle

[dim kindle]

this is not my viktor

jokes aside the most confusing part to me is that ok lets accept that we are adopting arcanes viktor thats fine

but this isnt even really that

the base viktor is a whack hybrid

we also didnt get the actually amazing arcane VA

and the model just looks really bad

he can be thinner

but his legs look straight fucked up

i like prototype the most cuz its basically a s1 viktor what if

and looks the most reasonable

creator viktors attire does not work with the twig body

death sworn is straight garbo

high noon clothes look like they dont fit properly but its kinda ok

psyops is also fine

new skin is also like fine because its just hey here is arcane jesus viktor

[severe cairn]

I don't like how creator's machine arm is so puny now

part of the reason I love that skin is because of the sick as hell overcoat with that giant railgun on his back

[severe cairn]

I don't like this W animation very much

[dapper kite]

Yooo, is that veigar cage?

[severe cairn]

ikr

[prisma ravine]

Tbh I think Creators Overcoat looks better now, Im only iffy on the arm

Mostly because it doesnt look like it segments like the current one does?

If youre on PBE, does it always stay tubelike like that?

[severe cairn]

the splash art is a huge downgrade

and also the staff

I miss my big, grungy death stick

wait did they swap his robot arms

[prisma ravine]

Its slightly changed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPZk9vWM4zc

Ok High Noon still gets the glowy cape and orb

Possibly his best skin now

[severe cairn]

I have a big issue with his high noon skin

this pauldron was designed for his robot arm to be able to swivel around it on that little track

but now it's disconnected from it entirely

[prisma ravine]

Huh I didnt even notice

(Dont have the skin to be clear)

Either way, I'm actually reasonably happy with those

Im most happy that the W is finally fucking fixed

No more walking out after 2 seconds without being stunned

[eternal palm]

I can never play ibg viktor again with him looking like that

Weak ass

[prisma ravine]

Thank god, fuck ibg viktor

[wheat notch]

[severe cairn]

is ap karma mid good now?

also a top viktor player is crashing out over them basically doing nothing to his kit and calling it a VGU

[severe cairn]

oh the creator viktor splash covers up vel'koz because of the cape

I wish they just made a new splash for Creator Viktor, the original's pose works better with the robot arm carrying the staff

[wheat notch]

always had been

[prisma ravine]

Yeah it's basically an ASU

They did at least fix the W

Comme Riot l'avait annoncé, la Chine est la première région à tester les voicecomms in game

[night marsh]

Fucking finally holy shit

[sinful frost]

okay but
what does it say

[slim terrace]

as riot announced, china is the first region to test voice comms in game

I feel like even without knowing french that's parsable

[sullen crystal]

man I missed playing league

had a yas/yone bot duo who BM'd the whole game

yone did less damage than sona on the other team

[wheat notch]

had a guy add me and say that what i did toplane made them want to gouge their eyes out

i think they need to learn how to have fun with toys

[wheat notch]

so salty over thsi kindred r

i wouldve killed like 2 people for sure if not for that

[severe cairn]

League of Legends OG would be peak tbh

I'd play that forever

[dim kindle]

there was chronobreak

private league project that was basically season 1

the higher skill level of players nowdays kinda showed some problems with old league

like marksman are even more broken than we thought

etc

[slim terrace]

sadly that project was killed by riot itself

[severe cairn]

I'd still like to see that brought back officially

if Fortnite could do it, idk why League can't

[night marsh]

You put a lot of effort into chronoshift but I assure you the chronobreak is coming

[severe cairn]

what does that mean

what the hell is chronobreak

in this context I mean

[night marsh]

old meme about riot zed being hella cringey

chronoshift was the name of the season 1 revamp of league

[severe cairn]

OH

DID A RIOTER SHUT IT DOWN AND GIVE THEM THAT AS A MESSAGE

[night marsh]

yes

[bold stirrup]

That’s so awful it comes around to hilarious

[severe cairn]

small indie company

[sinful frost]

allegedly
that sort of edgy message is actually really effective at getting script kiddies to knock it off

but it looks really stupid against someone with an ounce of professionalism

[prisma ravine]

Not worth the effort I assume

They'd have to fix a lot of things to get working with their current infrastructure, and probably update everything to work with the new map, only for it to be a hilariously unbalanced mess

It'd be a novelty that would stop being fun within a couple months

[sullen crystal]

just had the most head blown players ever

the worst fizz and akali I have ever seen in my life

they run it down and have the gall to ping and flame

[severe cairn]

https://fixupx.com/Supernova_11451/status/1862522068367286651

[prisma ravine]

Wait

... does Auroras kit actually not explain wtf Realm Hopper even does?

[dim kindle]

realm hopper was the ms boost which is now gone

so it does litteraly nothing

idk if the W still gives it and still calls it realm hopper

but yea its a bit weird

its basically like a self buff she gains with the red aura but now she only gets it from just pressing w

wait no she gets it from her r too still

ok wait i get it now

they removed realm hopper completely and instead just made W and R give a normal ms boost

[inner vapor]

how tf do i beat teemo as morde

i am 0-8 to this fucjking teeemo

[prisma ravine]

Yeah except the tooltips are not updated lmao

[inner vapor]

good game

im getting the hang of this dude more and more

[night marsh]

I’m sorry bro, this has to be the biggest downgrade in all of league lmao

Not even aether wing kayle was nerfed this hard

Every argument people used for Viego’s release is applicable here

[severe cairn]

you know what really pisses me off about changes like this viktor rework

almost every viktor player I've seen is upset over the rework but we can't do anything because riot will push it to live servers and force us to deal with it

[night marsh]

Also im really confused how this is a rework or whatever they called this type of change. To my knowledge, they only changed his R so his playrate is either going to stay the same or get buffed through arcane viewers

Vgu *

[severe cairn]

arcane players will pick him up for 5 games and then drop him because his kit is from 2014 and is almost completely unusable at higher elos in 2024*

[dim kindle]

viktors kit isnt that bad
his main issue is his powercurve is super whack because of core upgrades and his late game not being as impressive as it used to be because of access constraints

esp into range

mostly hes okay and it looks like they didnt put in much effort to find significant satisfyimg kit changes

there are champs in more dire need

[dim kindle]

funniest solo of the year

[prisma ravine]

They said they tested bigger changes but people didnt like it

Personally, now that they (seemingly) fixed the many bugs W had

Im fine with this being the extent of changes

The W was always the one part I didnt like mostly because it didnt work half the time

[wheat notch]

my son i love him so much

[inner vapor]

had a good game

but my cs score still ass

:(

[wheat notch]

wow that image is disgustingly uncomfortable to look at im ngl

[inner vapor]

or something about the game

all I know is i smack thigns

[wheat notch]

no the fucking stick legs above you bro

[inner vapor]

oh

that doesnt make it any less gross to look at 👎

im gonna post some random pic i got so it doesnt show up on my screen im soryr

What a noob

[sullen crystal]

wtf why is aurora's damage so high

legit been 1 shot by her so much

[sullen crystal]

also why is k'sante still broken

[wheat notch]

cuz shes a burst mage

[dim kindle]

more obnoxious is the range on her E now imo

[wheat notch]

The only obnoxious thing about it is that it doesn't match Q range

so you can hit E and miss Q

[night marsh]

karma is such a cringe fucking champ

[inner vapor]

I carried this game 100%

look at my 9/6 gwen gameplay

[slim terrace]

why do 3 of you not have boots

roast seems like he was doing fine without them at least

[eternal palm]

Boots is for noobs

Good job Areo

I skip out on boots so I have an extra 1k for my powerspike

These nerfs look pretty meh

[night marsh]

My biggest gripe with her was the shield

Only other issue is the way her trading is uninteractive

I’ll take anything I can get

Btw they updated some of the viktor skins to not look like a malnourished hwei clone

[dim kindle]

Yea looks better

[eternal palm]

Still looks like an anorexic pos

[prisma ravine]

New your shop btw

Only decent one I got is winterblessed Swain

Which I might get, especially since I think Im skipping his prestige

Its just not my thing

[slim terrace]

this certainly is a skin shop of all time

[prisma ravine]

Well the Maokai skin is good

Im pretty sure thats the most popular Galio skin too

[eternal palm]

that's a top 3 Galio skin for sure

[slim terrace]

I feel like top 3 galio skin is accurate but I also think he has bad skins

I only really like the legendary one

[slim terrace]

astronaut is peak mid tbh, but I already have his best skin in meowkai

[eternal palm]

the best galio skin is pink chroma infernal

it's so vibrant

[dim kindle]

I got some stuff i like

But not like enough

[eternal palm]

Alright time to start taking ranked seriously and stop playing fill

[eternal palm]

I just got hit with the complete top lane experience. First ranked game top in a loooooong time

terrible riot decision #465348

[wheat notch]

not rly tbh

[night marsh]

Reducing communication ability is always going to be a net negative

Riot Lyte’s effect on this game needs to be studied

[wheat notch]

why should a viral hog be allowed to speak my holy tongue

let him rot in the cage of his own making

[eternal palm]

because 80% of league players are toxic

so cutting off 80% of the community is bad

[wheat notch]

idk man if 80% of the community is incapable of behaving like normal people maybe those 80% shouldnt be allowed to make it everyone elses problem

thats just me tho

[eternal palm]

I've told a few people they were conceived in a Denny's parking lot myself

[night marsh]

One of the issues is that riot is too heavy on some punishments

Even roast got a honor level drop for something completely out of game which would penalize you under this system

We’re the only competitive game that doesn’t that voice chat yet still get treated worse than other options lol

[wheat notch]

vc would probably be a net negative for most of the playerbase

there is very little you can convey in vc you cant convey with pings tbh

also yeah what happened to roast sucks but thats like the insane minority of actual honor stabs

[night marsh]

I disagree, there are plenty of times where it's just ineffecient to do the action of pinging or typing when you could just say it

especially when in the heat of a moment

[wheat notch]

ye and i specify most of the playerbase because in the heat of the moment no one below like gm will be able to listen and take action wrt that call 😁

[night marsh]

we're also missing pings for actual questions

[wheat notch]

at least in masters u for sure will not be able to respond to teamfight calls

so i dont think the majority of the playerbase will

[night marsh]

wdym by teamfight calls

[wheat notch]

who to target

ult sum callouts

[night marsh]

I think if someone is in your ear telling you you isntead of pinging

wait yeah I disagree with all of that

your'e telling me you dont play flex with friends below gm and they dont liosten to your calls ond iscord?

[wheat notch]

I play scrims and in an amateur league with my mates and 2 of them are masters and none of us are good at making or listening to calls 🙂

[night marsh]

I think it might just be a difference personal experience. You'd definitely listen to a call over a ping

[wheat notch]

The only time calls felt important whatsoever was when I was playing with Bardinette and we were trying to maximise his ass abandoning toplane for bot dives

[wheat notch]

This is funny because this is a scenario that has happened before where my top calls out that the enemy top is coming to fight and I (and the rest of the team) didn't hear it, I told him that I was more receptive to pings and the next time that happened I saw the danger ping and actually moved back

[night marsh]

ok but is tha not just a minority case

[wheat notch]

I don't know! I just also think there isn't a real need for it

Like what about the pros who don't speak the same language and work just off of pings

I am not above a professional

[eternal palm]

Pros still understand “group” and champion name meaning target

[wheat notch]

g mouse down and g click on champion going crazy rn

[night marsh]

we can just watch a pov of a pro player and see how they commuinicate

[eternal palm]

Like when me and my filthy casual friends play ranked flex or clash, the only thing we still use pings for is for like missing but we also say it out loud

Or like pinging fog of war to where we think they are

[night marsh]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzyATMSYGWM
they do both but speak more than actually piunging

liek the biggest critique of vc I always see (that is truly valid) is one team having ana dvantage over the other because all of their players are using vc

[eternal palm]

Yeah, like you def use both, but speaking, especially for target selection in team fights or asking for a kite back/disengage is much easier to do over actual comms

[wheat notch]

I think it matters like

a little bit

that you're both american lol

and I play on the hodgepodge

[night marsh]

like god knows how many times I see my jungle abotut o start a fight I can't get to because of the wave and he doesn't listen to pings

[eternal palm]

There’s a good amount of people in NA that don’t speak English either tbf

I’ve had so many Spanish speaking players

In ranked before

[wheat notch]

I meant partially more so in the prejudice department as well

If there is a french accent in voice

it's gg bro

pack it up

[night marsh]

oh we'll have that but for women

but yeah Is ee what you mean

[wheat notch]

europe known for having zero women

[night marsh]

facts

[wheat notch]

i was developed by big hologram

[wheat notch]

tbh turkish would be a bigger one but i have never heard a turk speak so i don't even know

if someone starts typing numbers as a substitute for arabic letters chatroom implodes

[night marsh]

I played a game with a italian duo

went into their discord to flame them afterwards

but I couldnt understand a thing they were saying with their thick accent

[wheat notch]

[eternal palm]

Man cursed out Rick’s cousins

Also, wasn’t it well documented that one of the old Chinese super teams that had a mix of Korean/Chinese players communicated in game using English? Since it’s the most universal language

[wheat notch]

I've no idea

[eternal palm]

Surely in Europe everybody knows what “group” means

[wheat notch]

not if it's a woman saying it gg

make sandwich dishwasher

[eternal palm]

Well yeah, that’s a whole different thing

Patriarchy sucks

Gaming community as a whole sucks

[wheat notch]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

[eternal palm]

But sometimes you get lucky and get real human beings

Who can become life long friends

[wheat notch]

if I were not a gamer I would never have entered this server and met like

Rag

or sand...

[night marsh]

rag was reincarnated into needle

sand is a brainwashed pokemon slave

[wheat notch]

It's not the same

He's not eating 20 eggs

[eternal palm]

Tcg communities are a bit more tight knit imo, you still see sexism, but not at the level that you would see at say a call of duty discord server

[night marsh]

if rag was here during MD release

I'm like 99% sure it would just be the same chat as needle lol

[eternal palm]

What’s wrong with eating 20 eggs? I eat 4 for breakfast usually

[wheat notch]

as his entire meal for the day

something like that

I don't remember

[eternal palm]

I mean, maybe he was poor and eggs did use to be dirt cheap (they’re fucking expensive as shell now)

[inner vapor]

and for newer players I think

pings mean nothing to me if i'm playing with people

but i understand much better when people talk

[wheat notch]

This game is bad

[eternal palm]

Still better teammates than what I dealt with yesterday

[wheat notch]

my head hurts

[eternal palm]

If you had bought an early cull you would have gotten the extra $300 gold you needed to carry that game

[bold stirrup]

...did they not already have a card game?

[prisma ravine]

Correct, LoR

[night marsh]

also

I like splasharts but did they really need to just take the splasharts 1 to 1

no game original arts?

[prisma ravine]

Likely placeholder

[bold stirrup]

not much solid information on how it works or what the release schedule will be like, or even what the packs and such will be like

Kinda feels funny given Gundam TCG is supposed to make it's big debut next spring as well

[dim kindle]

What a meme

[wheat notch]

my bad

[wheat notch]

Kassadin just ulted me 3 times in 1.8 seconds

I fucking hate this champ

[inner vapor]

That seems fun is it a top lane champ mabye I can try them out

[night marsh]

no

[sullen crystal]

I forgot how vile Zed is

[inner vapor]

oh sad

i wanna try nasus

he seems similar ish to morde

[night marsh]

Fixed a few issues with the cards looking like shit

[sullen crystal]

an incredible improvement from before

they looked like fan cards originally

[dim kindle]

yeah the prototype cards looked giga shit

[severe cairn]

this is what happens when you don't respond to me saying gg in all chat before the game starts

I was completely fumbling the ball early on because I was trying to learn new aphelios gun rotations but as soon as I got blue green I got a triple kill and the game was won

[wheat notch]

wow i just saw new vik in game

he looks so ugly lol

[dim kindle]

After the changes creator looks nice now

Hes still a little too twiggy but hes growing on me

[severe cairn]

the kit being virtually untouched is the worst part of the viktor vgu

lore-wise it makes zero sense for his kit to be the way it is now

[dim kindle]

how so

anyway he feels pretty good the passive change and ten less mana on e

pretty big

[wheat notch]

wtf did they do to this champ

i think i have a terminal illness

Wow they didn't do anything

He's just like that

[wheat notch]

wow his E aftershock is

legit invisible

[dim kindle]

10 mana less per cast is pretty huge

[wheat notch]

on full machine

that's so disgusting wtrf

i didnt realise he had it stacked until after it blew up

how are u supposed to see that lol

[dim kindle]

i dont think that does a good job of showing what u mean

let me look at the spotlight

[wheat notch]

it just

is too muted

hard to see in active fights

[dim kindle]

the bright green on the grass is definitely not the best

but i dont think that laser burn on the ground is important to see

[wheat notch]

its important to me

[dim kindle]

ur not gonna pay attention to the actual burn mark on the ground from any of the skins

no matter the color

in a fight

[wheat notch]

what yeah i am

its like 1/3rd of his damage

[dim kindle]

no what i mean is

ur gonna watch for the projectile itself

ur not gonna pay attention to the burn leftover mark on the ground no matter what color it is

[wheat notch]

i love how this champ can build burst and still outdps me btw

seems fun

also he just destroys your ears now

both w and r have the most insufferable sounds ever

[dim kindle]

I think he got decently buffed but its hilarious they didnt fix his r bugs

On a vgu

I immediately had it happen twice in one game that r doesnt chase on cast

[wheat notch]

hm i think

dark harvest might be irredeemable dogshit

unlucky...

i thought it'd be solid

i say irredeemable but its probably fine sup/bot

[severe cairn]

I wish they'd give more QoL to his passive

[dim kindle]

They did you get your upgrades way faster on avg

[prisma ravine]

Uh

Meta thats not new lore

Thats his current lore

[sinful frost]

the discord preview lies

[prisma ravine]

Yeah I opened it

ITs the old lore for me

[sinful frost]

It opens with stuff about Jayce?

It can't be that old given it mentions ||Ambessa||

[prisma ravine]

I dont see anything about Ambessa

[sinful frost]

alright I'll copy-paste it

To understand the full impact of hextech, and the legacy it has left behind in our world, one must first understand the minds behind it.
While much is known and written about Jayce Talis—the vaunted “Man of Progress”—it is considerably harder to verify anything about his counterpart, Viktor. Your humble author has made several requests to the Piltover Council and various faculties within the Academy, but they claim that any records relating to his employment there were lost during the tumultuous events that ultimately led to his death. I will leave it to your judgment as to whether this seems plausible, and simply recount what I have been able to glean from public sources such as the unexpectedly superb back catalogs of The Piltover Gazette, and what little remains of the hexgate construction documentation I was able to source by… let us say, less official means.
Born to a poor family in the fissures beneath Zaun, it appears Viktor always knew hardship. The polluted undercity afflicted him with both a limp and a rare, life-limiting illness, which alienated him from the other children. Yet despite all the impediments to his body, Viktor’s mind was allowed to grow without restraint, and flourished.
He once spoke with a colleague of mine, about a formative moment in his youth. Playing in the effluent streams of the Sump with his toy boat, he made reference to encountering a “disgraced doctor” who had gone to disturbing and extreme lengths in pursuit of science. Progress needed boundaries, and this early lesson served Viktor well when he caught the eye of the celebrated Professor Cecil B Heimerdinger, years later.

actually that'll flood the chat so I won't

but try clearing your cache or something?
open it in a private tab?

it basically maps onto his Arcane lore

[prisma ravine]

Still only get the old lore

Can you DM me the full thing?

[sinful frost]

k

[prisma ravine]

Thanks

I dont like the new lore much

[bold stirrup]

I can see Viktor's new lore, but Jayce's lore seems to be pre-Arcane still

[sullen crystal]

man why did I not play aurora more

this character is fun af

[dim kindle]

its weird because league viktor is now neither old viktor or really arcane vikator

[prisma ravine]

The biggest problem is that A, VIktor now canonically isnt even the form he is in-game, and B, his vision is doomed to failure

Is it even LEGAL not to show the price of Ancient Spark in the client? You can't see the price if you have less than 400 RP. Just purchase button. And you can't see the price elsewhere either.

Cause honestly it feels like this may be breaking the law, at least in the EU.

i just hate everything about this

I think it was always a huge accomplishment of riot to have very fair monetization for non gameplay stuff and that it was so successful

the addition of loot was alright because it was lootbox bs but pretty fair and with freebies especially when it came out

but this is just full nonsense

i understand why they are adding these things

there is less income of just regular people buying skins

and the money is at the top end spenders so you need to give them stuff to buy

i still hate it

[severe cairn]

okay but

how are you bleeding money this "bad"

yet you have both a gacha AND a battle pass

[wheat notch]

I don't think they're bleeding money

I think they just want more,

[severe cairn]

didn't they strike oil with arcane

considering they're in production of THREE more runeterra shows

[dim kindle]

well at this point their operating costs are pretty insane so they need to keep a pretty high flow going

for stability

[dapper kite]

1*, no?

or did that change again?

[severe cairn]

https://gamerant.com/dont-worry-arcane-fans-3-new-league-of-legends-shows-are-in-the-works/#:~:text=Next League of Legends series,now that Arcane is over.

[dim kindle]

one is in active production for a year

more in planning

is how i understood it

[severe cairn]

yeah

[wheat notch]

I remember seeing people be annoyed about it not being set in piltover

Twitter is a crazy place

[dim kindle]

they said s2 was final for piltover a really long time ago

[severe cairn]

but that's still planning and pre-production for two extra shows

[dim kindle]

pretty sure

[dapper kite]

i was under the impression that news magazines just misinterpreted an interview saying "the new show will cover demacia, ionia and noxus" and running with "there will be 3 new shows"

[dim kindle]

we dont specifically know what next show will be exactly but thats the regions we are headed to in the next projects

but there is no specific next one noxus then demacia

or whether it has all 3

[severe cairn]

I could imagine a world where the demacia, noxus, and ionia storylines are all covered in one show

feels like a bit too much to cover with arcane's original runtime but maybe they get more episodes

[wheat notch]

They're gonna explain Ionian boots lore...

poggers...

if they don't mention it I'm not watching it

Ashe changes:
- P base bonus damage reduced from 15% to 0%
- P damage now triggers on the first attack instead of just subsequent
- Q attack speed increased from 25-55% to 25-65%
- Q AD ratio increased from 105-125% to 110-130%
- W base damage increased from 20-80 to 60-200
- W

[prisma ravine]

Makes onhit ashe a bit worse ig

[severe cairn]

what is that base damage buff on the W though

nice buff for crit ashe

[prisma ravine]

Oh its cut off

They just moved it from total AD to bonus AD ratio

So the base damage was adjusted

[severe cairn]

- Q mana cost increased from 50-70 to 60-80
- E base damage per spear increased from 8-24 to 7-35
- E AD ratio per spear reduced from 25-45% to 20-40%

Twitter · Dec 12, 2024, 3:28 AM

I'm not too big a fan of these changes for kalista

I hope the Masque of the Black Rose skins get their own event

[wheat notch]

Why the fuck does Qiyana QQ trigger Electrocute

is it Ignite?? is it passive?? either way it's fucking ridiculous

[prisma ravine]

Wait just the Q, or do you mean Q W Q?

[wheat notch]

yes she pressed her stance switch button the fucking attribute based proc damage should not be counted as a separate instance of damage its stupid

[chilly ivy]

q passive q passive

it's actually 4 instances

[prisma ravine]

Yeah pretty much

[dim kindle]

dunno there is so many interactions like that that its not fair to single qiyana out for it

kalista changes are supposed to make the lethality q max build bad

dunno how good that build actually is but it shows up every now and then

ashe is trying to move her more into crit

if i had to guess

[prisma ravine]

Would make sense

Riot hates ADCs going anything but crit

[dim kindle]

The balance around crit has proven to be easier

To be fair

Regardless of feelings about crit

Because the crit items are just used by less champs

[prisma ravine]

Its had mixed results tbh

Worked with Sivir, didnt really work with MF

I dont think there was ever a case of switching an onhit adc to crit working though

Not even Vayne

[night marsh]

to be perfectly fair, vayne should be forced to build crit

her current build being botrk gusinoss wits into tank items is pretty stupid

[prisma ravine]

Problem is her crit build is harder to balance and less healthy

The only way to make it work is to let her Q damage crit

But thats miserable to play against and also really feast or famine

[night marsh]

I think being able to actually kill their true damage adc is less frustrating than their adc doing a lo of damage

[prisma ravine]

Yeah they tried that for a bit

Turns out its actually way more frustrating

Because it just became a roll of the dice by midgame where sometimes their Vayne became a point and click assassin

They tried buffing it without making it crit, but that didnt work because you still go onhit at that point

[night marsh]

on hit is fine

it's a problem where the vayne is dealing as much damage as other adcs but also has survivaibility

I don't think beign forced into crit is that bad, I get it's frustratng rng

[prisma ravine]

It had really bad play patterns

The problem is that her Q is the only thing you can really change to force her into crit, and if it can crit it just messes up balance and is much more frustrating in the parts of the game Vayne is supposed to be weak in

Youd have more luck changing the items tbh

[dim kindle]

dont agree on mf but agree on vayne

crit vayne was pretty dumb gameplay

people rushed ie pressed r q for half hp then rq again for kill lol

[prisma ravine]

MFs issue is that you want her ult to be this big, powerful ability, but if you make her crit you give her a massive AoE volley but also the usual autoattacks which she actually isnt bad at

So you kinda have to nerf down the ult and make it less satisfying

Lethality MF just works better with her fantasy tbh

Jhin is the one ADC that works both Lethality and crit, so they just kinda bounce him back and forth

I wanna say he is crit rn?

Oh they retconned Blitzcrank to ... just be a golem Viktor put a hexcrystal into and huzzah, sentient golem

Also Blitzcrank now canonically doesnt like Glorious Evolution Viktor

... ok seriously does someone on the writing team just hate Viktor?

[night marsh]

arcane lroe being canon is just troll tbh

or they should have at least thought about it better

im all for lore progession and champions having definite ends but this has been a mess

[prisma ravine]

Yeah

Arcane Viktor is a good character, but it doesnt work for his champion lore

[night marsh]

it doesn't even look like they're gonna have singed be the one to gas ionian villages

[prisma ravine]

You basically play as ||a form he has for all of 1 hour and that he literally learns was doomed to failure||

[night marsh]

he at least got a show for that lol

wtf is the point of seraphine anymore

this is going to be her 3rd? retcon

that is insane for a recent champ

[prisma ravine]

To sell KDA skins

Seraphines lore was always an afterthought, so there isnt much lost there tbh

[night marsh]

one thing that I wa skind of happy for about arcane was estabhlishing that ||all the champs in runeterra aren't in the same time period. Ambessas's death solidified it a bit. It seems like a good way to curve how many world ending threats there are at a time and to mvoe lore forward.||

||arcane being canon though kind of fucks with all the lore from LoL and LoR (especially caitlyn) so idk how they're going to fix any of this||

[prisma ravine]

Another lore rework in 2030 🥳

[slim terrace]

btw did you see that viktor was canonically confirmed to be ace?

ofc that got the jayce/viktor shippers mad

[prisma ravine]

Aye

Tbh I'm not really convinced by that, because there sure are some 🏳️‍🌈 ? undertones

But hey, I dont mind it

More ace rep

[slim terrace]

||the homies did embrace at the end but we gotta encourage more platonic skinship between dudes||

||I will say with how he interacted in the show I'd personally believe it||

[prisma ravine]

||It makes sense, but its not really how I headcanon it||

[night marsh]

Wasn’t he literally attracted to Sky

[prisma ravine]

Nah

Sky was attracted to Viktor, but he didn't reciprocate

[dim kindle]

I dont feel like there is anything to imply viktor has more than platonic feelings for anyone he interacts with

Shippers can ship whatever they want but they used to do it on fanfiction.net not tagging creators of shows on twitter and calling them names

I find it a bit whack

[night marsh]

how did we get to the point where warwick is turbo broken

jesus

[prisma ravine]

His W went from "clunky mess that doesnt work half the time" to "permanent attack speed boost", basically

Which when his level 1 gives 70% is a lot

It makes his clear way better and his early dueling insane

[night marsh]

having. ajinx get excited

just for hitting a minion below 50

is insanity

[prisma ravine]

Yep

Theyre nerfing it to be more reasonable next patch

[night marsh]

patch?

58% winrate and not getting hotifxed is insane lol

[prisma ravine]

Well

Itso n the PBE

They could do it as a hotfix also

Its just not announced as one yet

Basically it used to have a 0.75 second timer for which the attack speed was kept, to make it smoother to switch targets

Except that was too low at low AS and just made it super clunky

Right now its 2.5 seconds, which is too much

PBE is 1.25 seconds, which should be reasonable

[dim kindle]

They are going on winterbreak but they said they prepared to be able to do a micropatch

So id expect we a hotfix

[wheat notch]

😮‍💨

love to see an Aurora counterpick herself into one of her worst lanes for no reason

you will for sure be the 1%

[dim kindle]

Is it really a bad matchup for aurora?

[wheat notch]

ye aurora is dog shit terrible into anything that outranges her

viktor is the most bearable but only because syndra and orianna are even more terrible by comparison

honorable mention to cassio and leblanc

lets justr say theres a reason vik did the best that game 🚒

idk it's my bad for trying battlemage karma she's not cut out for this

cosmic was worse than i thought, i figured it'd be decent just to manage the tether but 20ms is literally nothing lol

and then he last second locks raka n

that guy was atrocious at sylas too

[slim terrace]

what can they do, the jinx had the $250 skin

the aura was too strong

[wheat notch]

I don't even think I noticed it in game

I just saw the splash and thought they were a sellout but it didn't look like anything special in game

[eternal palm]

Tbf, I don’t think any skin can look like a $250 skin

[inner vapor]

wasn't there like a 500$ skin aswell

[night marsh]

I’m sorry bro, this looks like complete dogass

It’s also just straight up copying cards from LoR lol

[wheat notch]

Yeah but I didn't notice it like at all

At least when someone had the super simp Faker Ahri skin I would at least like notice the skin 'evolving' during the game, or at least look good with her ultimate active

[severe cairn]

ezreal is slowly climbing...

[wheat notch]

why are your masteries so low

arent u old

[severe cairn]

yes but I've been on and off league consistently

I also don't play that many games every day

and I constantly pivot between roles and champions, I don't dedicate myself to one or two for very long

except ezreal

this also isn't my first account

[eternal palm]

You and roast are almost the same age lol

There’s like a 2 year difference between you guys, if that

[severe cairn]

ez skin tier list

[slim terrace]

putting the card suit skin that high ain't it

[severe cairn]

I know ezreal inside and out

they're all good skins

[sullen crystal]

😳

[slim terrace]

[dim kindle]

striker not in S is crazy

also why is heartsteel in D

i actually like that one

also TPA in S? the glove looks super whack

[severe cairn]

I love TPA

the only reason Striker isn't in S is because it's the only one I haven't used lol

I don't even own it on PBE

[inner vapor]

this looks exactly like lorcana and sjit

[inner vapor]

hey morde káiser the one campion i can plann un

i wish i could play gwen bur she is too hard

[severe cairn]

shut up areo

[wheat notch]

ok and

just bc hes 2 years older doesnt mean he couldn'tve been playing for 4 more years than me

my first account was made in 2015 when i was like 10 and then i forgot the game existed until 2017

[severe cairn]

I started playing in 2015-6 but got banned a year after and only came back in 2018

[wheat notch]

ur cooked unc

[severe cairn]

soulless unfortunately

the others are fine I guess but this is an atrocity

[slim terrace]

I'm wondering if this will be enough of a differentiation from barrier to stop people accidentally taking the wrong one

[severe cairn]

idk why they had to change flash's color of all things, just change barrier's

[sullen crystal]

wtf were people mistaking for barrier

[severe cairn]

flash is way more iconic

the left is so much more aesthetically pleasing it's such a downgrade

it reminds me of like

pre-2015 summoner's rift

[sullen crystal]

why is the new flash lime coloured instead of yellow

[severe cairn]

my biggest issue is how they removed the straight line between the poses

so now it feels more empty

[prisma ravine]

Ok yeah flash is a major downgrade

[night marsh]

🤢

[inner vapor]

is this cope?

they banned morde so i didnt know who else to play

[night marsh]

considering your passive is unisable solo, yes

[wheat notch]

What's even the fucking point of making the lantern such a big circle if you can't click on it the second someone stands in the center

It's so disgusting

[wheat notch]

[wheat notch]

the hexploder

[severe cairn]

I hope they buff sona damage sometime

I wanna play her botlane (not as a supp)

[dim kindle]

no

bad

stop

[slim terrace]

we had that meta, god that was certainly something

[dim kindle]

Taric sona was truly gameplay

[eternal palm]

The best Meta was syndra bot

Shout out g2

[night marsh]

what ios this second account

[inner vapor]

idk can't find the login anymore

my old league account

[wheat notch]

dodging kayn on sight

jesus fucking christ

how do you get outfarmed by a support

[slim terrace]

damn that's a bannable performance

[inner vapor]

damn that looks like one of my toplane games

[severe cairn]

just read up on the new skin rewards changes

you can't get legendary skins or better from chests anymore

and they're basically gutting the system entirely and coercing you into paying for battle passes if you want skins

[inner vapor]

so wild rift

[severe cairn]

you can't even get hextech chests from mastery anymore

https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-gb/news/dev/dev-seasons-in-2025/

this genuinely disgusts me

[wheat notch]

Fizz technologies

@eternal palm fizzboy does this do anything to you

[wheat notch]

Riftmaker is such a bad item LOL

Gave me like 105 AP and nothing else

[eternal palm]

Yeah, lose

[wheat notch]

I won pretty easily though

curious

[wheat notch]

Wow they

need to remove the cdr on gragas e when you hit someone

this is unspielable

[dapper kite]

Wahr!

[slim terrace]

wahr! x3

[dapper kite]

Meine kultur ist nicht deine Verkleidung!
