Like this… Evony coded banner from 2009
Please give Fortune her new design!
Ohh
Some Champs need an update fast.
The original gankplank splash will never not be funny
What the FUCK is that “chest” hair
justice for skarner
Very small venom symbiote
Can't cover the whole body
Back when eve really was just "haha succubus funny"
These are just Warcraft characters
wow these are old. I remember lux wearing more clothes than four strategically placed pieces of cloth
Again warcraft
god the clashing colors on Lux
The midrift
"Ma'am, where are your organs"
old morde actually aged decently
still very early 2000s but like, in a good way
YOU'RE DEAD
WE KILLED YOU
I do feel like you could tell me these were mid 2000s wow designs and I would believe you.
Especially Poppy and Urgot.
100%. Given the fact that the game was based off of WC3's aesthetic due to its influence, especially
his nightmare before christmas skin is reminscent of this.
or...well maybe I'm mkaing that conection but still
Urgot is just a scourge mini boss
Yeah Lux was one of the earliest visual updates
She was SUPER cheerleader-y originally
And kind of a support
Is that why she throws her baton/wand
It also turned people invisible originally
Janna's LOR design is mixed for me because the level 1 art fucks hard, it's perfect
The level 2, while really sick, I love the idea of Janna getting a 'True Divine Form', fails to make it feel as much like Janna as it should; she kinda looks like one of Kayle's units from a few expansions ago
she looks like kayle in her level 2
I feel a lot of the early demacia Champs need the most gelp.
Yeah p much
I agree with this
Though I would like her level 1 more if it was a colder in color
imo shyv is the most overdue for a rework
I think Janna should kinda look like Barbericia from Final Fantasy.
mostly because AP shyv really needs to die
It’s Shyv or Skarner
skarners rework's in progress
I think if they made her 'divine form' more obviously birdy and animalistic, less golds, and make the feathers blue, it'd be perfect
imo if they got rid of the wings and helmet it'd work
since janna is supposed to be more personable
same
Could just be a lady made of wind.
Eve is neat to me because she’s got more sexy with her rework
For the better imo
VOLIBEAR?
Making her a bird-woman figure formed out of blue feathers in the wind would be amazing honestly
Well, most of those are Zaunite, Nilah's people are seafaring and she IS a goddess of wind revered by sailors
Volibear is probably a "I'm the god of storms, you're the goddess of wind" type deal
I think Janna is the only other character that could work as a "this is just kind of a naked lady" design.
no Corki
We have forgotten the old ways
There actually is a reason for volibear and nilah yeah, LOR's plot setpiece for the current expansion is that Nilah is going around Runeterra to fight Volibear and picked up Janna's aid on the way
And, yeah, the zaunites make sense for her too
I mean ok maybe but urgot?
He probably doesn't like her very much, I would imagine
Ff14 did a wind themed elemental and made her hair very reed/wind themed.
related by living in the same place is a stretch but, eh
Curse the fresh air, chem-corruption for all, raaaah
yeah I was going to say
Though she's like a barbarian lady with a big sword.
urgot's more likely to start dumping shit into the air
I will say the detail I do love about janna's divine form is that her hair turns into a big tornado
that goes hard
She also doesn't have a fucking twig for a midsection, either
Yeah that’s good
Hourglass, yes, but like... that's a proper scale, y'feel?
Rip to executing your own lame minions to deny farm and the poison on hit
god how many games had this style of web ad back in the day
fucking gamespy too
morde is still probably my fave champ update theyve ever done
“Come play, My Lord” ass ad
like his look is so good
fiddle is good too def
I'm waiting for Cho'gath.
sion and urgot just for how much they unfucked the original concept
Fiddle is great, but Udyr is my favorite of the big redesigns
Also swain. Old crooked leg swain was so funny
like, sion and urgot were fucking messes before rework
Mechanically he's just... chef's kiss
udyrs confuses me ngl
I wish Udyr’s new model was a little smaller
and makes ultimate udyr just weird
Swain is fun
Old swain and old galio lmao
poor zilean 😔
He’s like Volibear sized it feels weird
Voli had me hyped
big maaaan
they gave morde an actual cool mace and im forever greatful
hell my main complain with the old god skin is he doesnt have a cool mace
My fav LoR level up is probably renekton
like the mouth hammer is ok but it doesnt activate my neurons as much
I think my favorite is either dark star for the sounds or train morde
Man I kinda miss the funny old fiddle bouncing bird E
hot take.
Morde's weakest skin right now is Mace of Club
Hot take?
i like old godsd for the mouth face lol
and the weird eye realm for the ult
i ironically really like that skin
also his worse skins imo are ashen knight and the newer pentakill one
Ye
Before the rework, it was his best skin
the passive activation noise on dark star is fantastic
it's screaming
it's just beautifully distorted screaming
I'm screaming
it sounds so goddamn good
||Waiting to see if people noticed this wasn't Renekton||
It's Sobek
crocodile dude in vaguely egyptian jewelry-armor isn't exactly easily differentiable
I remember when Nasus's and Renekton's lore was "they're aliens that the Summoners pulled in"
And the galactic skins were basically straight Stargate references
Smite does that too
They did that so much haha
“This guys a weirdo from another world!”
Yeah Malphite had that too and I forgot who else
yeah old LoL was very multiversal
In a way that current LoL isn't, despite having multiple planes at this point
Nocturne I thought came from a Summoner's dream and escaped but is still technically Runeterran
Fiddle... trying to remember Fiddle's original lore
He was a fucked up scarecrow a summoner summoned
Who killed everyone who entered the room where he was summoned
But was ok with being used as a Champion for ???
Basically just a random extradimensional keter class
Cho'gath I remember hijacked summonings
You never summoned Cho'gath. Cho'gath summoned HIMSELF
Nope, I looked and OG Fiddle was made by a witch who would trap souls in scarecrows, and the witch sent one scarecrow out as a harbinger and now that one is a champion
It's so funny to imagine some of the champions now because like
Imagine you're Bel'veth, Empress of the void
Chilling in your Void-Palace
doing void-empress things
and suddenly some chump mage pulls you into Runeterra to fight against an armadillo
How pissed would you be
And then when the game went from beta to gold his lore was "no one knows his origin, it's a spooky mystery, ooooo!"
This is just Aurelion Sol’s lord :p
And then later was the extra-dimensional lore where he killed his summoner and then they lock him in the spooky room
Shaco's current lore is like... possessed puppet yes?
Where are they even connected to?
It would be hilarious if they're related to the Freljord they're just exceptionally weird.
not much
shaco's got nothin yeah
Revamp Gragas and Shaco's lore and make them lovers to enemies somehow
People like jesters and clowns. Right? that makes them laugh.```
not official lore, just spit balling
Yeah, Shaco's current lore is pretty much "There is a story of a possessed doll"
"This doll may or my not be Shaco"
Honestly one of the easiest things they could do is make them a Member of the Shadow Isles that was the jester to that pretty boy king or something. Or have them be the equivalent to Tahm Kench, but instead of giving poor folk riches they act the jester in court and love to watch places crumble.
I like the idea that he's just one of the big ol demons
Laughter as a demon
Although the old interview with shaco from the institute of war era is hilarious
I'll have a hot take of my own
I prefer old Kayle than the new one
Give me back my armor
I guess she could be mistaken for Leona at a glance, kinda I guess
They did mess around with some folks designs
I got real sad what they did with Trundle
once again lamenting that I’ll probably see humanity colonize the Moon before my jungler visits my lane more than once per game, if that
Annie into Mord mid and I can’t do anything because he’s manaless and tanks all my early damage, Amumu visits once and we don’t get the kill so he decides never to drop by again
granted this swings both ways because I’m sure a lot of the dumb picks I make wouldn’t be great if the enemy had an attentive jungler, but still
Trying out Viego because I hate the guy and want to learn what viego players despise
His clear is interesting, I thought he healed more
But maybe that's like, y'know, just my impression of him later on
Doesn't help that we had a "WHY DOES JUNGLE NEVER GANK" Sivir down below, though. Kept calling me useless and bitching about just everything
I'm topside invading the enemy krugs while they lose a 2v2
"Jungle come down here they're free"
Like, asking for ganks is fine, makes sense
But the "Why weren't you here, right now, in my lane, regardless of what's going on elsewhere" types are infuriating
Most junglers don't have an insta-gank button lol
(Zac does tho, blobby fuck)
egg champion?
where is this?
the new skarner seems neat
A little king fire salamander sounds great if that's the direction that new guy is going for
And I'm down with paint and art vibes
Very much a snowballer
yeah he's a weirdo
at least they removed some of his really weird tech
You can still use e while changing w which is noce

i don’t know anything about league but i am here to say Mundo is probably the best because he’s cute. Thank you for your time.

This song is a bit of an outlet for me. I am aware I pronounce Mundo wrong. I didn't play him at all for the first year I played LoL so I never heard his name said out loud and I just got used to hearing it in my head the wrong way.
This song parodies Our Life by Necro

It's been a while...
To the people mad about the anchor thing:
I know the anchor didn't technically kill him, but in the story it acts as a metaphor for his demise. His ship crew, instead of attempting to save him, cut...
I always want them to do more with Nautilus. He's such a bad ass champ. Having him show up in the animation before really made him seem so god damn bad ass.
lsot and forgotten is a great osng
god people saying mundo is cute (which he definitely can be viewed as now, not saying he can't be) is so funny because mundo in my brain is old mundo and
this fucking bitch.
ff7 lookin monster guy lmao
YEAH
no that's still cute
I've had my opinion changed on Renata now that I understand more of how she works, girl's got good poke
also why the default rune set uses relentless hunter instead of ult hunter is beyond me, I understand the general principle of zipping back to support fights faster, but her ult is such a big tool to have
Roaming 😌
I think I just had my first good Viego game
Immediate level 3 gank botside which wound up in a double kill for me
invaded after that to steal Briar's camps and then kill briar
thats what i usually do with briar lol
It did help that the enemy mid was, y'know
AP Nautilus
so Ahri ran circles around him and had priority always
Briar wasn't doing very well either
fully upgrade your boots you silly your a jg ffs lol
fr lmao
like idk much about viego clear but briars clear route to level 3 is fast
so im sorta just puzzled tbh lol
Viego has a solid clear time, esp with braum leash
but I told them from the get go that I was going to rush to bot
and Briar went for a bot-to-top full clear
mm mm
i do leashless raptor start on briar
cuz she can do that and just be full hp lol
I went blue > gromp > wolves > bot level 3
so Briar came down after I got a double kill thinking "oh man I can finish him off
and we just goon squadded
bot side yeah
mm mm
It was so quick
I was VERY low but I had a braum and cait
no yeah
thats dumb greed behavior
like unless you catch and can clean fast you dont poke that shit
like ive done that sorta pick and run
but i has to be the jg decided to river walk
not fucking just be going back to mind their own or some shit lol
and if i even see another body that early i peace out
yeah
or try to get a rotate for a collapse maybe
but that requires laners that pay attention which lmao
yeah we just snowballed from there, I did the rest of my clear and then came back to rush drag with them
thatll do it lol
also man it is so obvious with how i talk im an old head jg main lol
mordes at least letting me top nowadays
there was a period where i just could not top savve maybe illaoi lol
I was support main for a VERY long time
that was arguably my second
if only due to leona lol
who is arguably my best character lol
hell i showed off my bored head ass leona top game stats a while back
i fucking was chunking the enemy squishies like an assasin champ lol
ohh, Reksai is rad
Poor reksai 😔
Which she was better yet I don't really at the same time
She very cooltho ye
Sion mid is an interesting move
We won but it certainly wasn't a game where I was doing much. Viktor couldn't kill me but nor did I ever have a chance of hitting him, so
My initial thoughts are that it'll probably work more often than not because (to my understanding) Sion is good into burst and most scaling mages aren't going to do anything during lane phase, so the farm is kinda free. Granted, you won't really be doing much to your enemy either, but you can rotate quickly and you scale infinitely, so.
Problem is your giving your opposing scaling mage time to scale and if they got first strike even more so.
You'd think so, but the game I had vs. Viktor suggests it kinda doesn't matter
Granted, he didn't go Liandry's like he should have, but I dunno if it would've made that much of a difference
What was the rest of your/their comp?
Going any tank mid is pretty nasty
Since a lot of mid champs don't match well into tanks
Malz does fine into them tho
Just got double pentas in a game for the first time, nilah is so much fun
Eh I kinda disagree
Shit sry for ping
Depends on the tank.
Akali, Fiddle, Sion, Yasuo, and Janna (our team) vs. Kayle, Zed, Viktor, Cait, and Milio (their team)
how well did the match go overall
Fine, I guess? I’m fully willing to admit Fiddle and Akali did a lot of the heavy lifting
oh I was mostly asking if like your team was pretty even or if someone pulled ahead hard
Fiddle and Akali stomped pretty hard by the end of it, can’t tell how bot went by looking at postgame, I was just kinda There
hey you helped atleast.
Which I think might just be how Sion goes, I imagine he’s a little hard to actually kill people with if they’re not wearing a bag over their head
I like him but he’s definitely not super interactive lmao
he's also a little hard to kill too
I had another game with him today vs Leblanc, and she was on a bit of a tear but I think most of her lead came from botched jungle plays since I know a lot of my issue was Twitch
So 🤷♀️
was that a win or loss?
This one was a loss, I think only Akali won lane, I went even, bot and jg got rolled
So it goes
Well if you did your best in the match, then that's all that matters
unless you're rolling full lethality sion is generally more frontline than anything else
my R no longe woks so I have to shift ult no on 1
this concept art for briars skin is fun
Getting the hang of viego means getting a hang of Most Champs is the fucked part
I've been playing long enough that I kinda get it, honestly
any time I got to hijack skarner was a treat because I onetricked Skarner for a while
And being able to play around it felt good
"I know the path a Skarner wants to take for the easiest clear. Ward that. Take the spire beforehand so he can't get it for a little bit. Plan to contest near dragon. Ping bot to engage the fight near the spire. They moved? Great. Kill Skarner, reap benefits of spire after I kill them, get a stun off, Viego ult out, triple kill."
bot lane pulled up for that, too, they were DOWN
ohh that game would have been juicy for iceborne viego aswell
It was overall a very juicy game for Viego
most everyone except Zed had some sort of CC to help me catch up after I killed them.
and Zed I could just... use to kill them
Or get them in ult kill range

We love an FF15
okay heartsteel is a very good name for a boy band
I will admit it took me a while to realize who they all were
Sett being the one I recognized immediately because of their shoulder fluffies
I literally didn't recognize Aphelios at all
Saaaaame
and could VAGUELY make out Ezreal before he used trueshot
Same with Yone
Only vague recognition
Nah I did not get Ez until trueshot. To be fair I tend not to play too many of the flashy anime boy characters.
Cause they're assassins or DPS
The only character on that list that I play in any capacity is Ezreal
my void babies get no love
put Kha'zix in the boy band pls
Bug band
Boyband Zac
a band made up of all the non-human characters

Kha'zix, Zac, Rek'Sai, Fiddlesticks(Who got some Star Guardian stuff at least)...
Cho'Gath as a giant bass-boosted monster creature that carries speakers around on their shoulders.
The scream being just a giant feedback screech
Nah, just call them Cosmic Drive, and it's just a bunch of lofi chill music stuff.
I do love Space Groove Ornn
Nocturne as a DJ with record discs as his knives
Cho'gath but as a rapper who ..ahem spits fire.

hour and a half video essay on Neace, don't mind if I dimma-do
I don't really like content showing Tarzaned too positively but seeing him rail on Neace is a treat
Sert being literally just sett
Yone was very obvious to me
please, there's no way Draven's a top
That's literally Battlecast Cho
no they were hovering it
against an immobile tank it could work tbh...maaaaaaaaaaaayyybeee
ADCs taken toplane usually do okay by virtue of just, Having Range over the opponent, though are an easy target for ganks and lacking a bruiser or tank lategame stings a good bit
It's mostly just annoying for everybody involved
a balanced team do tend to do solidly okay. Weird gimmick builds or set ups or teams that aren't "normal" but rely on being ahead to win, don't do so well.
Man Orrn is just so damn fun
He and Nautilus are my favorite unkillable boulders of CC
They keep nerfing him in Wild Rift and it refuses to stick
Oh, huh, Janna got a mini-rework without me noticing
passive is now just a 5% MS buff to allies nearby
her Q now has a fixed windup time, but can be cast with stacking charges up to 2
her W has no passive, but gives a huge MS boost on use and will haste or damage three nearest allies/enemies
E now shields herself and the lowest-health ally
Ult is not a channel anymore, she can move freely after putting it down
You are the villain of my story
I was a Tank Viktor top player after all
I only play good honest toplaners, like
checks notes
Singed and Graves
;-;
Those two and Orrn are my toplane staples, but sometimes I pull out Sett or Shen
Wonder if I should try n' learn Kennen again
Viktor ain't in WR so I've got no experience with em
nod nod
Been picking up PC league a little but not a ton
Illaoi is fun, though
I need to start vary my champ pool again cause I am playing very samey atm
Ila is fun but to coin flippy for me
she's a late game scaler (as long as you don't have any True % HP monsters like vayne)
I play enough tanks to know that Vayne is my eternal foe
Vayne really is "You have some armour and HP over 3k? Perish."
My midlane is mostly Ziggs with a bit of Vex and Galio, tryin to pick up folks like Zed and Ahri
There Is No Durability, Die
As someone who plays Olaf and Urgot, I think more people should play immobile ADCs top
They're not easy to run down at all
Hahah
Only ADC I'm any good at is Jhin for some reason
well, and twitch, but I prefer taking him jungle
I constantly want to try new and kinda wonky picks mid which mostly means playing top laners atm, but my most played overall is almost certainly still Neeko
Non-committal lane bully who gets half your HP bar if you can’t count minions
lesbian jumpscare
I should probably try more mage junglers, I think I’d like Fiddle and I already generally like Morg and Neeko
Fiddlesticks is pretty weird but is a jungler
The WR new champ lineup for this patch is Fiddles, Sivir, and Zyra
Imagining this as a WattPad comment
lmao
The next patch for PC league is seeing zyra and brand jungle buffs
brand jungle? 🤔
its a/was thing
i mean i guess his clear would be solid
morg is already viable
diana, ekko, gragas
brand ganks just sound a bit tricky
they are. prob is a crystal scepter first buy
Gragas and Ekko are fun, wish I was better at em
I am more of an Ekko over Diana
I play kinda anywhere, though I haven't done support in a long while
I play Akshan, Camille, Aattrox, and Gwen top
one of em is not like the others lmao
And I used to play Shyv top extensively
Problem is that when Shyv top has 50% winrate, shyv jungle has 55

00:00 Heartsteel Kayn
01:34 Heartsteel Sett
01:54 Heartsteel Ezreal
02:15 Heartsteel K'Sante
02:48 Heartsteel Aphelios
03:50 Heartsteel Yone
04:17 Prestige Heartsteel Yone
The Rhaast isp retty amazing
I definitely see Draven as more of a power-bottom
my buggy boi
yomus over dusk or eclipse?
I pretty much just aram lately since I don't have anyone to play with and I am always the tank
And people yell at me for dying when I have to engage hard
Sion bot you say 👀
how does one build + runes for Morg, Neeko, and Teemo jungle? I assume Morg is the same as always except you level W first
TBH just like you build em normally. Mythic for jungle neeko is harvester or rocketbelt
If you don't start wolves/raptors I think neeko also wants to start w
Hell yeah looking forward to lol as it was meant to be: sans flash
Preciselyt
Really I'm just tired of Exhaust
Just a "What if we said fuck you in general" button
(Also I would enjoy a League without flash personally, but that's just me)
I want to keep exhaust because of that "who the fuck said you could get away, or kill me, or exist."
See, as an assassin main, I do not care for Exhaust
But I'm fickle enough to like it when I'm an ADC
Except when it is used against me
You have to accept that if you use it, or have it used against you it's funny
someone considered you such a threat to just slow you down and lower your damage.
(or in my case I do it to be annoying)
I find it just really boring in general, used or not used by me, tbh
I use it because it has worth when I'm in certain roles but I'd be fine with it being gone
As well as flash
(My opinion at large is that the game is far too safe atm, people don't get punished nearly enough for their mistakes)
But I am also biased
I find it the opposite, the game snow balls pretty damn fast.
there's no neck and neck game, there's always just a snow ball lead unless a team baffles an endgame play
We're playing very different matches lol
also if flash were gone, then people woudl run ghost more often.
which is honestly worst when you see someone just wiggle their butt away
My matches are always like "Man, I'm gonna gank this adc and they're going to- ope. They're gone." "Okay, Lux went way too far ahead in this teamfight, I'm gonna pick her off-oh."
Everyone has their oh-shit button on tap
all that sounds like people recognise you as the threat.
I mean yeah, I play stealth assassins, they should, they should also not see me coming lmao, and I'm pretty good at that, I like to think
But like, I ganked a Kai'sa who was solo pushing while blitz shoved topside
and she just... kinda got to flash-E and leave? Despite my stealth + jump?
And yeah I burned her flash but she was in a garbage position and only had to use a summoenr
and I'm just sitting here on 3 items while she's at 2 and confused as to why that didn't work out more in my favor despite everything lining up for me
can only assume bad execution.
if she got away and it was all in your favour
...then I dunno what to say!
See but that's the thing, that's just kinda how it feels 90% of the time, it feels like every champion in the game has their safety tools and thus can make awful positioning mistakes with little consequence
Like I ain't perfect but I'm pretty good at the bug
I've learned to just try and keep track of it or predict it where I can
Having the tools and using them to get away, means that they used them probably right
I mean yeah, they used them, but after making enough mistakes I feel like perhaps that shouldn't be enough to save you
And sometimes they do get punished, don't get me wrong
if they were several levels behind, or something
sure
being behind 2-3 levels then hell yeah you should have borderline chunked her existance.
but sometimes in league you can..just get away from your mistakes because the other person just chokes enough
Yeah, even I benefit from that sometimes, too
A clutch stealth and some juking goes a long way
and sometimes I'll steal a play that I had no right doing
yeah, it's just how they managed to wiggle waggle away from you, and what you did in response to the wiggle waggling.
But it really just feels to me like the game has too many safety nets. Stuff like flash, the various mobility moves that more champs seem to have with every release, some runes can absolutely make a major difference and help you survive situations you might otherwise not, and there's a level of skill to using them for sure
because if I'm right, kha'zix has more tools to prevent people getting away, right?
But largely speaking it doesn't seem like people get very punished for being made to use them
Kha has a slow on his passive, a leap to follow, and his evolved W can slow as well
Conventional wisdom dictates that you hold gap closer for theirs and shoot for ult passive resets for maximum slow
And usually, y'know, that works out for me
I dunno what to tell you, they got away with less tools to run away.
You both had flash, and she only had the movement speed increase.
But it's the most audacious mistakes that people seem to survive
then you should try to make sure that you deliver on the maximum punish.
if they are making a big mistake, that doesn't mean they can't get out of it
now if we had dota's turning speed thing, sure but then I imagine it would play out somewhat the same
I'm surprised you didn't save the replay and just tried to see how or why they managed to get away.
Well, this game was ages ago and I wasn't too concerned about it at the time, the situation just came to my brain
oh, fair I guess, but still if there's ever a point of "How did that not go in my favour?" You should just check and break it down.
I like exhaust
But I like anything that makes adcs and assassin's stuck in place
Because I play artillery mages
And as such really don't like assassin's
And also it's really easy to bait assassin junglers into dives and then punish them
Another thing about having no flash is that I think some champs would become much harder to make plays with. E.g. I think Annie would go from being an okay pick to a bit of a nightmare because good luck getting close enough to hit your stuns in a teamfight without getting deleted
This is already sort of the case but flash alleviates it
I think Alistar would be similar but not as bad because he can still frontline if his engage suddenly becomes much worse
I think removing flash makes some champs slightly less good but not while making others completely trash
I think a much bigger problem is just the increasing amount of mobility in champions over time
It's also a reflection that the average player is just getting better and more responsive
Removing flash would be bad
yep
juggernauts in shambles
Juggs would do alright on ghost/exhaust if flash didn’t exist
But here’s the hard question: What do you do if you want flash to still exist but be less dominant a choice?
don't let it wallhop
everytime you cast it, your character suddenly gets slapped with cheese on the face
don't let it be castable in combat
halve the range again
still can juke skillshots and such but loses many wallhops and creates less safety
The problem is some champs would be so fucking rough without flash. Having no flash as a control mage mid is a semi death sentence for early game through perma ganking etc
Flash is so ingrained into the game you'd have to rework, like, the entire cast
There is a jungler/support, Invern. I love them. They do almost no damage, shield people, and do not even attack jungle monsters but ask them nicely to leave. The reason they are a jungler and can gank people is because they have a long range root that gets anyone who clicks the hit target to zoom into attack range. This single root is enough to fuck up most people because they can't flash and the enemy is on them.
I luv him. I have the candy King skin
Briar mid is a character with no design flaws smile
spent the entire game even farm and poking her out but it doesn't matter because she out-sustains my burst even with GW
She lands her ult, I flash away, she dashes, I use Ez blink, she dashes again, and walks out from under my tower with a kill and most of her health back
GW is super weak in this meta right now, I hate it.
who are you playing?
It doesn't help that, as always, I'll live to see the heat death of the universe before my jungler visits my lane
Ez
That's probably just how that mu goes
ez struggles a lot vs fighters and assassins and fightery assassins
looking at the stats and she healed more damage than I did in the entire game; 14.5k healed vs. my 12k done pretty much exclusively to her
and I'm top damage between both teams
It took me a bit to get GW but still dude
I'm hitting First Strike W + E basically on cooldown and it just doesn't matter
at least Cho and Swain have to land non-targeted abilities to ruin my day
Ezreal doesn't have very good options vs anyone vaguely bursty who can stick to him
It's part of why he's usually played bot
(Diana and Naafiri are similarly very bad MUs)
His burst also isn’t as strong as most mages so can’t deal with sustain champs as well
yeah ez just....isn't a strong pick mid
he doesn't have the sustained damage and he is very squishy
Also briars whole thing is kinda sustain. You ain't winning a poke war vs things like her or vlad/ww etc
Yeah I mean sustain beats poke beats all in right
what the fuck?
you're not gonna be able to change your name with blue essence anymore??
what the fuck is the point of it then
i save it up for champions lol
i guess.
essence emporium is nice
I never thought name changes were the primary point of BE
yeah but like. once you get everyone. that's al lthey're really used for
essence emporium only comes once a year
Once you buy every champion you've completed the primary purpose of BE
yeah you won't be able to change your name as your current league name is gonna be tied to your riot account thing.
so now it's your unique (I think) identifier
You can change your name for free once a year

Timestamped: Neeko takes half damage from turrets when she is a cannon minion
A Level 1 Neeko disguised as a cannon minion can take 8 turret shots
yeah but like. still.
my point is there's no real regular outlet for BE later on now
Yeah, basically by design
The point of BE is to buy champions, like Cyan said. Once you own all the champions, you have completed the use of the progression currency
Name changes weren't really supposed to be a BE outlet, BE was the limiting mechanic for name changes
also realistically you stockpile it for the emporium
Unless you liked funny comedy names more than emotes or a skin for a champ you prolly don't play
Man, I wish Death's Dance didn't cause you to shimmer on Kha'zix
The stats and effect are decent enough and situationally useful for Kha but
Hopping back into Ranked again, having some good games so far
She says, the enemy DCing in her immediate next game
Apparently Xbox says that league of legends takes 1700 hours to beat.
Which if you assume 30 minutes, it takes 3400 games.
Hmm... wonder how I can tell how many I've played
i mean after normal/aram you see the number for those
Only for the current season, and your stats only show the past few
I wanna know of ALL TIME
isn't it redundant to say that about dravens

Okay so
This Sion is a god
He took a jungle item and did nothing but invade Nocturne
solo-killing him several times
and I was clearing my jungle all game
Nocturne just couldn't play
Ah double jungle tactic, rare but always funny when it happens
The Tilterella trademark
so wait I spent some time thinking about the upcoming name changes to accounts and riot id's
Is this even a good thing?
The current id system sucks so probably
relatedly, it’s kinda unfortunate how effective AP Malph is because I know I won’t get away with it forever surely
I like these changes
I am a bit mad. we 3 man invaded shaco at red, got FB and they then insta RQ and the enemy could early FF and we dont get any LP
would have been the most free LP
I still dislike that you lose RP for remaking but you get nothing on the other side
New patch dropped
I can finally change my in-client language easily and without a redownload
Nevermind, it's just for the Riot Client
Oh shnap
very normal briar gaming lol
My sneaky recommendation is overheal instead of triumph
thats def good for her
just the triumph ends up letting me sustain through a fight
cuz ultimately i tend to get bursted so overshield doesnt benefit me as much as id like
That's fair. I like to do e start and then start jung with a shield buffer
I mean it's briar so you always gud
lol yeah
I need to play her more again but I am semi frustrated with her w since you can get pull kited nastily esp early ganks
Also it's a nightmare when you accidentally hit Champs with ults or they dash into them to pull you into towers
mm mm
But she is fun
i feel i rarely use it at like angles where that happes
cuz im always floating in river so its a pure horizontal more or less
I never do those. My main angles are pseudo lane ganks
Where you ult from the t2 direction into the lane
mm mm
i ironically rarely do that
in part due to fear of hitting someone still walking into lane lol
It gives you usually more playroom to hit as you shoot into lane direction and people expect it less
fair i spose
But I do be hitting those stray people XD
lol
ngl irelia is fun
I find myself very amused at this guy

I miss HOTS
Agreed
What a fucking game man
Irelia wound up almost unkillable
Twitch was melting people
and my team just kinda said "fuck grouping"
was the match a loss
yeah
tfw you get informed that your report was successful and someone got penalized
feelsgoodman.jpg
Should I ask about the additional u in "HUDu"?
can't play him all the time or it gets boring but a good Ziggs game just kinda hits
free laning phase because your Qs come from the next county over and mana items mean that eventually you just get to put people in a bullet hell with them. Statistically if I throw enough of these I will poke you out of lane eventually
I main Ziggs in WR, he's a great time
Two games into Azir and I’m thinking maybe the path of least resistance is good actually
high execution and his payoff seems questionable
Yeah, but that's like, the issue of league
Do you just want to win or do you want to win in a stylish way
Because both Garen and Riven are supposed to have same 50% winrate as a champion
Well, more or less
You can flip your brain off and play Garen or you can spend 120 hours in practice mode
The choice is yours
azir is one of the champs that can't be let out of soloQ jail because every time he escapes it wrecks pro play for a season
like how riven is stuck in numbers jail
ehh it's a bit more complicated than that
Yeah, yeah, Gankplank with 50% winrate means GP is bullshit op
riven is supposed to be >50% as skill rises the issue is that riven's kit is kinda unhealthy from a "how exactly is the enemy laner supposed to play the game" perspective
since she has so much agency in lane
I don't care honestly
I'll be forever mad about malphite
Can we put him in jail
Thanks

I fucking love Nathan Mott
He has such a positive view on the game which is very refreshing
Miles apart from the "Oh, I play league of legends." "Oh, I'm sorry." mentality, he really tries to make sure that people are enjoying the game
and make sure that he's hyping things up and showing people the BEST of the game rather than fixating on the worst of it
Excellent jungle coaching, too
HERE WE GO AGAIIIIIIIIIIIN

Lmao what
so would you have to pre-choose in another mode then have them carry over?
well then
This is the quickplay screen
It went immediately int othis
No choice of runes or summs
just
bam
Okay apparently there IS an option I missed somewhere
where even is the option
oh yeah that needs to take up more room
I do have to wonder about its matchmaking
I got matched up against someone who straight up didn't understand why last-hitting was a thing, and didn't know what half of the champions did
It's probably got new match making.
So I'm like "Did they really match me, who has played for nearly a decade, against a newbie?"
or was reset or something.
Yeah
hold on, some deep inner memory just unlocked and I got to rant/seriously ask for clarification about league's matchmaking for normal and ranked.
two friends said that losers queue and winners queue exist, and that league makes matches you're meant to lose, so as to keep you playing and "gambling" your matches, since when you are on a lose streak, but win a few times, you got hooked.
But I counter with "that's how they match make players since it's performance based match making."
am I the insane one or are they?
So, the real reason, iirc, is anti-smurfing
People who win too much because they're smurfing get put in smurf queue
it's still performance based matchmaking
but if you're on a hotstreak then yeah they put you against everybody else on a hotstreak
iirc players who are struggling might get paired with better players and worse-performing teams, or vice versa
Yeah, the goal is that people should be winning and losing within a certain range
And if things are going TOO well then they assume you're like, a smurf
They genuinely have- I mean yeah the smurf thing is ...a fair point. But they genuinely have that in the system and it's not just a weird community cope fact?
It is true yes
Tis indeed
not that people Don't use it as a cope fact
but it's how the system works
Why does this make a blood vessel in my head want to pop.
I... don't really know?
I know why, it's because when I am playing a game and expecting a competitive system, I expect it to be very true to blue.
But then I Remember that smurfing and multiple accounts are a thing and that makes me cry
like a gold pingpong player somehow going down to pingpong against iron pingpong players would be so unacceptable unless it's like a fun match thing.
Hence why the game tries to block smurfing a bit, yeah
okay wait hold on, so they have the smurf queue, or the hotstreak queue I'll call it, which is a thing.
But it's not to keep you on like playing to make them money because realistically the people who paly the game are not really ideal customers because they use the servers, while those who hop on, buy a skin then maybe play a game or two then leave is an iddeal customer
sorry this next point is me remembering the friends said that Riot made money off players playing the game and winning and losing and the gambling aspect of playing the game, and that part makes no sense.
actually gonna stop thinking about this, else I'm gonna bust into their discord call and say some real serious shit
the reason why smurf queue exists to to try to isolate smurfs from the rest of the playerbase
since-oh sorry my bad didn't see your message
it makes sense. After a sleep and brooding. Just gotta come up with a way to explain to them that they are not smurfs and therefore can't use that as a coping mechanism for being shit like me.
The matchmaking is designed around
1)skill
2)winrate
3)winstreaks
Even if you have, let's say, a 57% winrate in plat, but you're for example 5 wins in, you have a probability to get players who are...well...not good
This is actually an ancient argument
Basically since the incarnation of MMR
I remember when for a long while the Overwatch forums were just constantly people complaining about the "forced 50/50"
A bunch of call of duty streamers a few years ago also used a similar term and pleaded with the devs to turn off MMR
It's a dumb argument but these people have been screaming into the void since Halo 3
in my case I just don't want the smurfs to smurf.
I'm low silver iron (probably more central silver now since they added emerald) and I want my match to be 10 people who genuinely are about the same-ish skill level give or take.
I dun want some minion screaming about "Losing Queue" or whatever
yeah it's really funny to watch people ask for games that are stacked in their favor
I’m not above admitting the 2 losses 1 win formula I’ve heard of helps me cope
Not that I can’t improve, obv, but it’s also nice to have some legitimacy backing the fact that often it’s just out of your hands
I think the majority of LoL games are out of one's hands
A certain number of games just become "oh our/their solo laner got 9 kills in 15 minutes, cool"
I agree, but also it sounds like copium when I get cranky with my teammates for losing hard even if that’s legitimately the problem
It’s a fine line I guess
yeah but its just legit
I feel like half my games I have to get ahead enough to carry or we lose lol
Also as a long time jg main whenever I don't jg the jungler almost always ends up making me wanna die on the inside lol
what was the weird % split down for league matches? was it 60/20/20?
I've seen 80/10/10
but also that yeah
I don't think a specific number is right
But the gist of it is true imo
Frankly I Wanna say it's 40/30/30 now with how the game is.
40% your own performance, 30% you get carried, 30% you get stomped
matches seem way more snowbally in general now
Oh no the general meaning for that is that 80% of the time the game was not in your control win or lose
And the last 20% of the time it was up to you
Oh, I had it the other way.
Just the nature of a team game
You might get normal people or you might get creatures that have escaped from some sort of institution
in a good or bad way
There are some times when I'm in a game and I assess it for a bit and feel relieved at just, hey, I did what I could
Nothing more I could fix this train wreck
I don't control whether the jungler and top lane get into an argument and both decide to throw the match
The 80 "not you" 20 "it's you" kinda operates on the principle that there's 5 people on your team and you're only the tipping point 20% of the time
But really you can carry or feed so hard you distort other lanes before lane phase is even over
But in a typical game in the appropriate MMR for your skill, that shouldn't usually happen
Looks dangerous. You in?

new baron model?
oh weird new shit with all the void creatures
i do find it funny that all these changes are mostly around jg lol
Yeah my rule of thumb is 40% stomp, 20% affectable, 40% get stomped
So you can get yourself as high as 60%
He who drowns in colors will leave others breathless — for better or worse.

New League Femboy
Damn, even the hair flop and a choker
That twink is gonna get obliterated on twitter
This guy is cool, I'm into it
Fully embracing the champion being way complex is a good route
2 patches and this guy will be midlane's Riven
they're remodeling baron AGAIN?
oh my god it's fucking invoker
LETS GOOOOOO
He seems cool
I hope he lands better than some of the recent "complex on purpose" champs
I can't wait for viego to kill him, and then break the game again.
yeah there's no way in hell this character is left playable
though I said the same about aphelios
Hwei seems really fun
I think him being totally immobile* will make him relatively balanceable
*Not counting the one spell which works as an AoE ally speed up
Curious if you can play him support
Jhin/Hwei is like... a ship bait tier lane
I could see support Hwei being alright
Spells like a burst mage but utility like an enchanter with W spells
I have to read what he does because I’ve been on a support/jungle mage kick recently, Zyra jungle surprisingly fun
He does a LOT
He has 10 spells
QQ, QW, QE (damage centric spells)
WQ, WW, WE, (support centric spells)
EQ, EW, EE (control centric spells)
R (big AoE execute)
Passive makes AoE explosions on enemy champs struck by multiple spells
enemy: "report malphite"
me: "what did he do?"
enemy: "n word"
some things never change
Someone said Riot is designing him for mid/support but if one role has to be nerfed out of viability they want him to stay mid
vex is fun
i like that she has like a pretty clear combo route that works well with red runes and etc
its more like combo damage then just lots of sorta poke poke poke
Vex does big damage yeah
Vex does well against the mobile champs that Mid can attract, which makes me very happy.
A mobility-punishing mage is a really cool thing for her to be yeah
shes like an assasin mage
sorta
like she goes from not wanting to be close to wanting to be close on a coin
Her ult lets her do assassin shit but otherwise she's comboing from the back
well also w to an extent
Personal Space is a funny ability because it's a combo filler, but it also lets you do what the name implies if your passive is ready
get jumped? just say no
lol yeah
i level second after q
which idk if thats the way to go but its what i currently do lol
Q > E > W was always my go-to when I played her
Also goddamn
Fuckin' ||Weibo getting annihilated.|| Worlds spoilers
it seems its common to do q then w from what i can tell so i gravitated to the average choice lol
There were a few times it looked like ||they'd turn it around after the first game but jfc||
Get ready for map changes, new monsters, item updates, and more hitting the Rift in January.

Either way, if you're gonna be perma banned, maybe reconsider how you play.
pulls up another account.
good lord, this is a big ol' issue I have.
He'll we unbanned in a week anyway
they should just keep him banned, if he keeps being banned
Too popular
Yeah he's unfortunately very popular, brings folks in with his silly builds and inting playstyle
Tsk. This is the same guy that gave me a very stressful time during league when his inting sion thing was considered "mathematically correct"
Yep. Baus loves to come up with strategies where he throws his face at the opponent repeatedly.
Which, mind you, in the hands of the right person, IS effective
But most solo q andies are not, in fact, the right people.
Yeah, which is why it's stressful.
People think they are the nextbaus when..no you're just chcknft44
Same with anyone doing dumbshit builds. A streamer gets known for doing something memey and then people try it, but they try it in ranked
It's how you get stuff like Roaming Teemo or any of RATIRL's builds, Inting Sion, Inting volibear, etc
RATIRL? oh wait...twitch player aren't they?
Yeah meme builds can work if someone does't know how to deal with it, but...if it's a strat that gets popularised then uh it starts being able to be dealt with.
Oh that bugger did that? that player must be a real coward to go ap twitch.
