which i prefer over her goofy ass gauntlets she has now tbh
#League of Legends
raw leaf
ripe loom
Yah the gauntlets look weird
raw leaf
like i in a way can respect the goofy ass gauntlets but they just dont fit her vibe i feel
it looks like something a dragon themed yordle would have imo
ripe loom
Speaking of actually
I wonder when the next yordle champ will be
Because it’s been a while
Like the last one was Kled right?
muted pivot
vex
rustic osprey
Nevermind it’s not been that long then
just like over 2 years

goddamnit Zilean
woeful shuttle
yeah vex was released with the Sentinels event which people were mad about
same as viego gwen and akshan iirc
if yall want to feel old aphelios predates covid in the US
as did sett
violet hollow
As far as new champ goes, i'm pretty happy with how the flow changed, i mean
We want from nobodies such as zeri to Briar, H'wei and now Smoulder
raw leaf
I'll probably grab smoulder
I'm fond of spyro and his kit seems fun/relaxing
I love an adc that can go over terrain and etc
It's part of why I like tristana
rain girder
Mobility without being crazy is always fun
violet hollow
It's one of the most straightforward kit they could ever make, and i love it
Also, apc so, that's fun
-1 day to the new season btw, It's been a while since i actually played lmao
Build sites are gonna explode
spice glen
pretty sure smolder is ad abilities.
and yeah all the build sites are gonna just be broken for a bit.
violet hollow
pretty sure smolder is ad abilities.
Oh really now? So like senna basically
With the stacks and all
spice glen
atleast from the preview I saw i could have sworn it was ad abilities.
and yeah the same but its just raw ability damage.
an end game smolder with his stacks will probably tear apart any tank, but will die to rammus.
violet hollow
Which seems fairly balanced to me
spice glen
his auto attack should be within reason but his q and..w? are the things that will hurt lot since they scale infinitely i believe.

Confirmed trynda
In the teaser for the 2024 season you could see the sword
Also people thinking we might get an aatrox tryn fight
spice glen
oh it'll be tomorrow when league updates, not today.
rain girder
YES MAKE THEM FIGHT
fallen notch
wishing every Sett support player a very "why are you doing this? this role isn't autofill"
dim tapir
is sett support just like jax support with less likelihood to land the stun?
rustic kite
Play Blitz or Alistar or Braum or something, please
abstract rune
Braum 😌
fallen notch
I'm like 90% sure that the theory is "oh it has good rushdown and brawling" which is kinda okay if the enemy support is a mage or enchanter with bad positioning and lackluster peel, but that's a lot of conditionals
And it also means that once laning phase ends, the enemy top/jungle can just walk past my mostly CC-less "support" and lay me out for free as long as they're not totally behind
rustic kite
Was that during an era Sett was very strong in general so you would look for any excuse to slot in the very strong champ?
woeful shuttle
Yes
rustic osprey
ye
silver heath
oh sweet divine sunderer gone
abstract rune
Funky
woeful shuttle
Yes
spice glen
Yeah, the shroud was meant to stay on the map normally
it also meant that the entire thing of his ult was close to being useless against her when the shroud was just used.
She could wiggle waggle her way around it
though I still wonder how he does the ult lore wise.
Is it him just instant casting the spell for it, or is it more like he grabs you and throws you into it
fallen notch
Mordekaiser command grab
dim tapir
did phoenix lab/riot ever reveal project L launch lineup?
cause yeah if not i can dream of mord being there
silver heath
Not a full one afaik
dim tapir
i dunno why my brain is now treating me with mord doing Q animation but instead of slam it's golf swing knockup, and then E as an anti-air grab

Omnivamp updated with the following: Omnivamp heals you for a percentage of damage you deal, with reduced effect (20% effectiveness) on minions and monsters. Additionally, Omnivamp heals you for the full amount with Pet or AOE damage.
holy fuck
what an aatrox buff
oh wait goredrinker is gone. nvm.
dim tapir
i wonder if this promotes some odd ARAM builds that centers around riftmaker on champs who traditionally don't build AP
spice glen
riftmaker only works when you are in combat for 10 seconds.
It replaced the true damage effect instead.
wait that made no sense.
I mean after 10 seconds of being in combat, you get omnivamp.
so it REALLY favours being in the fight for a long time to get the omnivamp, or...really weird like poking to then go in.
wait no it's 5 seconds if I read math right.
https://i.gyazo.com/a14f224c3e19eda3d16172f2dac30b86.png
but I believe there's very little items with omnivamp now.
bronze void
riftmaker only works when you are in combat for 10 seconds.

Looks like 5 seconds?
spice glen
Looks like 5 seconds?
Yeah I adjusted after I checked.
I was wrong about the 10 seconds and it's 5 seconds.
But still 5 seconds is a long time.

I love the inclusion of his mom yelling down at him from above, presumably keeping an eye on things
just a fun idea

its so fun and weird
to no linge having mythics again
its nostalgic and exciting
been a while since there is so much to discover
rain girder
I'm gonna play so much today

wait no
they still locked to each otha
makes sense
violet hollow
I'm looking at some tier list predictions and gods
Going back to my secondary role after years, and the first advice I see is
"Play garen"
And i'm mad cause it's probably a good advice
Cause top is turning into a very dueling based lane

It's so funny to me how he's of Camavorian descent, and riot was like "he will be a princely prick, of course he's camavorian"

what. why is his taunt fourth wall breaking.
that's fucking. joke territory.
WHYYY
oh only a 1%

spice glen
It's okay if it breaks the fourth wall.
there are still champions who still say that stuff

raw leaf
Tbh I like meta humour stuff like that
raw leaf
also active hydra again yay
Lol I wonder if my old head vi build is gonna be the most viable one again
raw leaf
I started doing the mythic item builds on her but I tried to be stubborn briefly
Wait what?
There's two hydras?
bronze void
there's three
rustic osprey
3
bronze void
ravenous, titanic and stabbe

Idk if I've ever seen stab one
I don't doubt its existence to be clear
Whats it look like?

Ah ok that explains it lol

violet hollow
Gods we started great.
Fuck the 2023 one, this is the real stuff
spice glen
wait no hold on it started
violet hollow
already done
spice glen
man I wish league would start using UE
violet hollow
to be fair, no
cause it would require a substantial change of software requirements
UE5 it's not for every machine
spice glen
I know, It's just the usual updating the game engine itself
violet hollow
ye, would look good tho i agree
i called the 2023 like that cause, it was basically that, as far as format goes
violet hollow
yep
spice glen
DAMN
violet hollow
he still got it
violet hollow
lore wise yasuo always hinted at the "leave me alone to wonder, i don't desire to fight anymore"
violet hollow
ironic how kindred is hunting tryndamere.
oh nono ,it's even better
spice glen
oh that's fucking confusing
violet hollow
Kindred appeared cause they thought it was Trynda's time
but they sawed how he wouldn't accept it, he wouldn't surrender to death
so, seeing how alive he was, they stepped away
and Ashe appeared
spice glen
ohh I Get it now.
His ult prevents death, and he clearly is fighting off death.
violet hollow
sort of, think less game-like
kindred appears when they sense your on death's door
Trynda basically said "I still have some fight in me, and I reason to fight," hence the appearance of ashse
spice glen
nuh uh, his eyes were red and that means he activated the ult!
(I kid)
but that was a solid ass cinematic
violet hollow
i legit thought the same too cause, trynda ult
but i also remember that his ult it's basically just him, being too angry to die
Music was also extremely neat
woeful shuttle
ironic how kindred is hunting tryndamere.
fucking mark rng
spice glen
"DAMMIT NOT HIM AGAIN"
violet hollow
the game has already been updated btw, new season is started
spice glen
yeah I was testing out a morde build earlier
I think the one I like is grasp, Heartsteel, boots, riftmaker so far.
since W scales with HP, meaning you stay alive, but riftmaker scales with bonus HP, so that now scales infinitely
violet hollow
i'm so rusty, playing years of adc and going back to top
simply because i'm tired of being curb-stumped to the ground, since my pressure is basically 0
and tired of support
spice glen
why be support.
Be the top laning support champ.
leona.
violet hollow
Switching to top cause 1, it's more duel based now, 2, even if i was a 0/6 nasus, i could still wreck towers to the inib
spice glen
wait how is top more duel based now?
violet hollow
why be support.
Be the top laning support champ.
leona.
oh no, more like, i'm tired of people playing support, with me
spice glen
just generally cruious
violet hollow
wait how is top more duel based now?
the river changes
spice glen
I need to go look at river on top side then.
violet hollow
it's more isolated, lowering jungle pressure immensely, and not putting blu side to a disadvantageous position cause of the tri-brush
spice glen
let me go into practice tool
raw leaf
Ngl ultra realistic render cinematics for league always throw me off. Cuz in my head I think of the games stylized in game render look and arcane lol
The animation is well done in the trailer for sure though.
spice glen
holy shit yeah top lane feels super stupid open.
raw leaf
Oh is top an island again?
violet hollow
basically
its the lane that got changed the most i would say, cause bot just got mirrored, and in mid added some bushesh
raw leaf
Truly my old head memory is being rewarded lol
violet hollow
we are going back to top lane farming sim
spice glen
I am okay with this.
raw leaf
Same
violet hollow
i am too, that's why i'm changing
spice glen
...unless playing into a nasus.
raw leaf
I got tired of constantly getting top ganked to tower rush down when winning a lane
violet hollow
I was thinking of which champs to play, but I'm not familiar with most of em.
Oorn could be good, Jax and Garen for dueling
raw leaf
It was so oddly consistent
spice glen
Jax is lowkey really good for the dueling
violet hollow
quinn but no thanks
spice glen
Warwick is also real good
because of how grevious is so nerfed into the ground you can do heal machine warwick and only really need to return for mana
abstract rune
I love Orrn
violet hollow
mh..isn't a bit mana-hungry? cause of the ability cost
spice glen
yeah, but you generally navigate that by getting a mana item or the ...mana return rune effect?
I like getting a manamune on him purely because extra AD and mana return.
not saying I'm a good player mind you
violet hollow
oh no, I'm legit asking top advices cause last time I played top..Pantheon was top-tier
so..2 years ago? basically
spice glen
are you asking what champs to play or just what to do
violet hollow
mostly champs, i remember how playing top feels, even after many years as an adc
spice glen
Garen, Jax, Darius and Nasus.
Easy champs that have little big brain depth.
If you want to big brain depth, do K'sante or ornn.
Or as loller would suggest, Urgot.
These are all iconic top laners that don't have weird gimmicks to them.
violet hollow
Garen was the bane of my existence when i played poppy top, but i can't deny his costintency
spice glen
(well except k'sante)
violet hollow
i was thinking Jax, Garen, Oorn as main three
spice glen
also those three probably won't get banned unless there's what I call a trauma ban
violet hollow
urgot if the enemy is someone squishy i can abuse like a quinn
violet hollow
also those three probably won't get banned unless there's what I call a trauma b...
I had those, with jax
spice glen
eeyup.
actually pretty sure urgot is good against most, especially with the free build path meta now
violet hollow
i see, it's hard to find a build, since the season just started
so i will go in a normal, and pick the recommended items
spice glen
the best choice.
I mostly have been poking around to find item synergy as morde and so far it's been...productive.
violet hollow
ye, you just gotta experiment for a while
by next week i think we'll have all the build site back up online with new stuff
spice glen
honestly I Expect those builds to be all super scuffed
spice glen
I'd just go lethal, it's a safe option.
violet hollow
thanks
silver heath
I don't think Top is gonna be that much more islandly because there's real neutral objectives up there
Also new season cinematic was a banger
The last part especially
spice glen
honestly yeah that last part was just real good.
the aatrox into kayle and morgana felt..weirdly uh messy to me for whatever reason
old mansuo was a skin idea I Didn't think I'd want
violet hollow
first match up is a tham kench 
crystal flare
You all play League together?
bronze void
I'm EU so idk 
rustic osprey
new sundered sky item is pretty good
ye esp for jungle and shortraders like rene
doing a j4 gank with a crit and the oomph attack from his passive is noice
bronze void
Nice on garen since it gives him something to do after he spins
rustic osprey
I could also see it on jax for q auto w auto into e go back
rustic osprey
Nice on garen since it gives him something to do after he spins
and before ye
i despise garen tho
bronze void
I love him, he's so dumb and simple
violet hollow
i will play him too since he's consistent, but the hatred runs deep
silver heath
The guy who saw Oldsuo use windwall and just booked it in the cinematic had the right idea lmao
violet hollow
ok so, i didn't know jax could be this oppresive with, anything that doens't build armour
kinda love it
bronze void
its so Bullshit
Its like the opposite of bullshit. He picks someone to die and you simply accept it. Your soul becomes free 😌
violet hollow
BE NOT AFRAID
bronze void
No stuns, no crowd control, no aoe shenanigans
he just picks someone and they get blasted
bronze void
lol
violet hollow
big pup confirmed
rustic osprey
yes love it doing always the same dmg even if he is a million years behind
violet hollow
do not hate it, embrace it
bronze void
yes love it doing always the same dmg even if he is a million years behind
But also if he is a million years ahead!
Now they just have to release new skarner. I wish to be free of the pillars
jovial stratus
Why is Yasuo old
abstract rune
My eternal curse against Garen is that I'll be almost dead and he runs up to ult or Q me
And then I try to Flash away
But he did the input so I still die, only I'm instead dying 10 feet away
rustic osprey
Why is Yasuo old
Future
spice glen
all his 10 death power spikes got to him
I just fought against a garen, and honestly yeah he fucked me up.
however I Scaled hard with this goofy ass build.
most of my early game was just trying to get my grasp procs to get more hp
but I was planning on building into scaling to the late rather that do early burst.
jovial stratus
all his 10 death power spikes got to him
Every Yasuo death in League aged him a minute
now he's old
violet hollow
time-related skins are neat, i agree
i liked that they still reference some tidbits of the lore, instead of random fighting.
This time it felt more like The Call then whatever bshit they did last year
raw leaf
Oh is the old dude in the cinematic yasuo?
spice glen
yeah the one originally using the staff (That I totally thought was a human wukong)
raw leaf
I thought it was yi cuz I only saw the start bit lol
spice glen
Honestly yeah, it was "Wukong, no wait Yi...no wait wind wall? Yasuo?"
fallen notch
Gonna be an interesting day because I haven’t looked at the patch notes at all
No idea what items changed for me
spice glen
have fun
muted pivot
kinda missed opportunity to be Master Yi tho
Yas is shown alot in cinematic already 😔
violet hollow
Considering the final scene he might not show up anymore
Yi got his "lore time" in lor, yasuo story was actively progressing, probably that's why
rustic osprey
The cinematic was past present future
violet hollow
The sentence of kindred tracks
"Tomorrow, is a hope
Never a promise"
jovial stratus
LoR isn't really "lore time" vs like
Every cinematic
Plus a lor story
Plus a game
Plus having the same master pupil relationship but more fleshed out
violet hollow
Understandable, again, Yi had a rework and some lore tied to it, that's true.
But yasuo is a fan favourite and his story has actually progressed to the point, that they can safely end it.
Leaving more space to someone like Shen, or, as said, yi
jovial stratus
I mean I think it's weird to end him independtly
It's bizarre, actually
Because yauso isn't older than
Like
Any of those people
Why does he get sent to the beach that makes you old
spice glen
Every death, every mastery 7 emote spam, all that I Bet
rustic osprey
Because yauso isn't older than
It's a possible future
As stated in the video description
rustic osprey
And also he did actually die in the end there
He accepted kindreds arrow in the end
violet hollow
Left unsaid, but a wall of arrows might be enough
jovial stratus
Also I feel like
rustic osprey
Left unsaid, but a wall of arrows might be enough
The last arrow literally was Kindreds one and yassuo accepted it (seemingly)
violet hollow
Champions dying isn't a new concept, cause the lore and the game are distinct
violet hollow
The last arrow literally was Kindreds one and yassuo accepted it (seemingly)
True, good eye
violet hollow
Lamb shouldn't be helping
Wrong, they always fight in pair
It's more of "who gets the kill"
jovial stratus
Well no
rustic osprey
You can also see wolf before the arrows and then kindred let it fly
jovial stratus
Kindred has literally never "fought" in lore
Their whole thing is your death is either Wolf or Lamb
violet hollow
I believe you haven't red the stories then
violet hollow
In this case they wanted to keep the couple for clarity purpose, but they fight togheter
You know
Never one without the other
Kinda of their thing
The choice is of course the main thing, the lamb or the wolf, but that doesn't make it a hard rule, nor does it exclude for them to fight togheter sometimes
jovial stratus
Well it does sorta break their whole theme
If you choose to run from wolf why is Lamb also jumping you
violet hollow
I'll respectfully disagree, but i see your point
I believe with trynda it was more of a fight rather then he accepting death
Since well, he won't
violet hollow
What if wolf is not enough then?
rustic osprey
Well it does sorta break their whole theme
It really does not break their theme in my opinion. Regarding trynda it also seems like he is so often at the edge of death that I think they themselves aren't even sure anymore
violet hollow
It really does not break their theme in my opinion. Regarding trynda it also see...
I second this
rustic osprey
Like he seems suicidal in the way he fights but then always refuses to die when on the edge
violet hollow
And as the fight shows
Wolf was losing, you know
Half of the embodiment of death was losing
rustic osprey
And kindred also did not shoot to kill. It was a single arrow to his side
Like a distraction shot
jovial stratus
Wolf wasn't losing at all
violet hollow
Look at those beady eyes
violet hollow
You can also see kindred shillouette in the aatrox flames
I love this details
rustic osprey
I think it's just that trynda is almost in a sorta constant half death state that "normal" routine doesn't really apply anymore.
violet hollow
He broke death's own rules
jovial stratus
Wolf always wins because everything always dies.
violet hollow
Eventually, yes
rustic osprey
You can also see that wolf's claw on tryns paldron actually stays there in the non death world after the fight
Which I think means that trynda is just permanently on the edge
Or never really leaves it
violet hollow
I don't recall but, Wasn't trynda mixed in with darkins in a way
Might be wrong
But i remember something regarding his blood
rustic osprey
That's ooooold lore
violet hollow
Oh yea, it is
i'm an old lore enjoyer
rustic osprey
I don't think it's Cannon anymore
rustic osprey
Might be wrong
But i remember something regarding his blood
Ye aatrox either Marked or chose tryn as his next host was assumed back then
Right after tryn clan was slaughtered by aatrox
But again no clue if still like this
violet hollow
I remember they mentioned how his immortality was due to some darkin shenanigans .
But yes, old lore
rustic osprey
It's also interesting how tryn goes specifically after kindred
And just defends vs wolf
violet hollow
You mean, how he actively tries to kill her?
rustic osprey
Ye altough he would never actually suceed
violet hollow
No since Kindred is paracasual, they don't follow the rules of the human world
violet hollow
If wolf and lamb dies
Another incarnation would take their place
violet hollow
Kudos on Riot for all this wonderful subtexts
And plot
I especially loved the expressions
Kayle disgust on her sister's sacrifice
Kindred acknowledgment of tryndas will to live
Yasuo acceptance of his faith
fallen notch
two games back and I forgot they made mid lane wider, making me agoraphobic
fallen notch
I know that ostensibly it's supposed to make mages safer because there's more room to book it when the jungler pops up, but I feel like in practice that doesn't really pan out because a.) lots of junglers be speedy, and b.) warding river bushes can't be done from within the lane itself anymore unless you want to basically face check
violet hollow
i believe some was also a nerf to mid as a whole, making it more exposed
maybe not intended, but that's what it feels for now
fallen notch
playing quite a bit of Teemo mid recently and yeah that's gonna be way trickier now because of how open stuff is
you need more mushrooms to block off river bushes and the pathways into river from jungle are also wider I think, plus like wards you have to walk further to deploy stuff
rustic osprey
YOO

I got that reference.
violet hollow
same color palette too
spice glen
He really is just toothpaste ad morde
violet hollow
he needs to keep them clean you know, can't cover really them up
spice glen
Sadly, he needs to invest in a mouth covering to make sure his teeth longtime survive
violet hollow
even old gods aren't immune to cavities
spice glen
There are only three things for sure in life.
Taxes, Death and Cavities.
silver heath
That feels a bit off theme
I think it’s cause he’s internally struggling between accepting or raging against his death
And it’s metaphorical with the enemy as Wolf and Lamb as Ashe killing the warrior
Or something
muted pivot
Trynd had some bad rye bread the day before and was tripping balls the entire fight
muted pivot
Why is he so blue in game lol
Doesnt really sell the old man vibe with his almost glowing blue hair
violet hollow
That's light, it's a lighting effect
woeful shuttle
also wind is blue
spice glen
I thought wind was not visible
rustic osprey
I like the black and blue lightning vibe
I also love when aatrox is doing his lil fun Rawr in the sky pose
raw leaf
ironically old man yasuo with a beard is just a character visual upgrade to me lol
but im also a sucker for old fight dudes with beards
spice glen
yeah old mansuo is pretty damn cool
woeful shuttle
it's a skin
raw leaf
ngl this gives me big ultimate udyr energy lol
like not a complaint i just way prefer this to his base look
spice glen
god dammit
raw leaf
also huh they made bot more gankable
vibe
i also like baron sorta make early jg camp buffs more impactful overall
tbh as a long term jg main im here for jg changes yet again
it helps make the role less monotonous
i also quite like the herald change
also man baron is spoopy but sorta cursed with hands lol
violet hollow
the terrain changes when barons spawns are also neat
raw leaf
def
things to make rotations more fun without fucking with the actual camps is a big vibe for me ngl
violet hollow
and the voidlings being an active thing to contest feels very nice, like, you wanna get them
spice glen
warwick top is a thing again and because grevious isn't viable, I scream in agony
silver heath
ever relevant
spice glen
I just want there to be viable counters to AGGRESSIVE UN FEASBILE HEAAALING
I guess ignite is that, but I Didn't have it since quickplay
rain girder
god that cinematic was beautiful
trynd fighting off kindred every time he ults is actually kinda brilliant
rain girder
First impressions: AP champs are very strong right now
rain girder
I think it's still just as gankable, just takes a little more setup
raw leaf
fair. what i mean by less gankable is less i must absolutely float at mid lane outside of the most safe of circumstances otherwise ill get only a brief moment to escape
if that makes any sense lol
like i can push more without feeling like thats a bad idea
and while doing jg i actulaly have to think more about it which is nice
rain girder
yeah all the AP hypercarries I've come across have just been eating so good
because they can all build hextech without it being like, a locked in thing
rain girder
removing mythics was a mistake
I'm getting 2-shot by gragas
at least tune the items down ffs
spice glen
the items are tuned down.
rain girder
This is hyperbole, I'm just tilted
spice glen
there's no mythic stacking passive.
gragas jus always had cracked AP
don't worry I was two shot as a mostly tank morde by twitch who didn't build any health shred
rain girder
Just had a gragas and an akali completely run over my team
and so now my opinions are irrevocably changed
spice glen
it only gets worse.
rain girder
and also I had a yasuo/yuumi bot lane
who paid 0 attention
and refused to come to objectives so I just had to let bel'veth have dragon
so that was a thing. Got all the voidgrubs tho
love those guys
spice glen
pain
oh shoot I Should just go full AP morde for the hell of it.
really make myself cry as I get hit once and my HP goes poof
rain girder
you just kill them before they kill you, ez
spice glen
I just gotta aggressively flash Q.
which is probably the hardest thing I will ever do because brain malfunctions.
silver heath
I've played 1 game and morde and akali seem fucked up
Our Akali got fed and was able to duel Sion
spice glen
level's play a bigger part now really
thought I'd try full AP morde, and I'm against a hwei, I am a little scared
silver heath
Oh I did a pretty normal riftmaker rylais build and it whooped
spice glen
no it worked well.
though I think my team was doing so well in general as the enemy surrendered
fallen notch
new support items feel so weird
They’re probably good but I’m not used to the new quest item n stuff yet
raw leaf
random but since im sorta vaguely interested in shyv especially with her potentially getting a beef update ive been trying her out
atm i think of the two i like her more in top?
like as a jg she lacks the sorta gank oomf i want but as a top shes a sorta relaxing almost like ad variant of morde in a way
just throw fireball and smack sometimes etc
raw leaf
to be clear they play different as top laners morder and shyv but both hit my "ah this is simple" spot
raw leaf
She's pretty much a "run at you" ganker

which nothing wrong with that just not my cupper for a jg
rain girder
She's also more of a "I farm and become a beatstick" type, not a heavy ganker
raw leaf
im big into being the jg that has an oof button to just hand a laner a kill
rain girder
She wants to bully the enemy jungle
rain girder
Oh I know
raw leaf
shes not a jg pick i wanna play
in lane shes a vibe though
ive noticed im super fond of top laners that are manaless
its just relaxing to me i guess
also shes stupid good at split pushes as a laner
its sorta wild
rain girder
Yeah, not having to worry about a secondary resource is always good for a top laner who wants to just stick around
rain girder
Q go brr
raw leaf
lol yeah
also tbh i like allot of the changes currently
which ill admit in part is due to me building more items im familiar with from when i was playing before briar got released lol
i am hoping they give her some more cc in her kit with her update
but thats more a pref thing
mroe than anything i hope they make her beefy
we need more beef ladies
also ngl i sorta love her super galaxy skin
great colors
super tempted to grab it to hae a shy skin i enjoy looking at lol
rain girder
also, I really enjoy the changes to the terrain as Kha'zix
Because people feel safer they overextend without realizing that my ult makes it that much easier for me to get closer before they realize I'm there
"just run at them" junglers in shambles
stealth junglers eating good
raw leaf
lol true
the one weird thing with terrain is imma have to see what shit riven can and cannot go over again lol
rain girder
also
dirk is now 100 gold cheaper
meaning that a solid 8 camp clear = boots + dirk
or 6 camp clear and a kill
fallen notch
also blue side bot lane is kinda wack now with the terrain change, that extra bush + aisle makes getting vision control a pain plus junglers can get behind you better
I comprehend support items a little better now, though I'll be curious to see what the hell I'm supposed to build on Blitzcrank because he's always been an odd duck in that regard imo
I've always thought you build him mostly for utility because I feel like he isn't tanky enough to warrant building him that way, but also I've just remembered Trailblazer exists now so nevermind we're all set
Mobility Boots --> the shield support item --> Trailblazer --> Wardstone feels like a good build path for being highly obnoxious
fallen notch
He feels about the same to me in my lane so I'm curious what you mean
silver heath
mushroom damage is just really high
because of being able to stack items and such
he's I think about the same in lane but really annoying to deal with across the map
(I have only been playing jongle)
fallen notch
oh wait yeah I forgot Shadowflame changes
I don't remember what I usually build second but I should probably switch to that
silver heath
I've been playing relative fragile junglers and he makes it really annoying to head through the jungle
rustic osprey
First impressions: AP champs are very strong right now
Assasins are popping aswell
And kassadin
rain girder
yep
Kalista top with Rageblade and Heartsteel
because Riot couldn't do me one favor
and remove Heartsteel
violet hollow
It's also back in bot with jak'sho and the new armour pen bow
bronze void
Don't think I've had a single game on the new patch without someone being toxic ingame so far :v
violet hollow
Lmao, why? What was the cause of such toxicity?
bronze void
Most cases it's the relentlessly shittalk the worst performing player on the team thing, always frustrating to see because it doesn't really help anyone play any better :v
rain girder
Me: "Yasuo why are you never coming to the objective"
Yasuo: "goldstuck talking shit lmao"

Played without chat for years, can't recommend it enough

yi hexplate was pretty nasty when I used it

also blue side bot lane is kinda wack now with the terrain change, that extra bu...
Tbh I like that
I always found it wack that bot was easier to gank on one side
I get why it was that way sorta but still

yi hexplate was pretty nasty when I used it
Can see that
Noc is the peak tho. It's so tailor made for him

Lol I was in a game where a trundle was going ap
They just r'd someone at the start of the fight and they died :v
Had an obscenely good karma game myself, ended up full build at about 35 minutes

Man urgot feels so good now that mythics aren't a thing
violet hollow
Or is that new lore skin what he saw himself as in his dreams?
the latter
woeful shuttle
oh wait no hullbreaker is still broken on urgot w
bronze void
I didn't have titanic in my build, seems like a good item tho
ripe loom
the latter
Ah ok
silver heath
wow nice
raw leaf
That's a good blitz skin
Also Ngl if I keep liking shyv I may grab her super galaxy skin
violet hollow
the new Lunar Revel one is neat, but I'm biased
Because I'm doing that thing of getting her skins before the rework
worked with monderkaiser
raw leaf
I like how feral but nice looking galaxy is
violet hollow
tbh, shyvana has a lot of good skin potential, it's just dragged down by her oldish-ish model
like, Ice drake, boneclaw, Ironscale
those are so good potentially
raw leaf
Mm mm
woeful shuttle
smh mythicless
spice glen
just the normal urgot life
spice glen
sadly
I had a twitch build it the other day and it was imppossible to go anywhere near him
violet hollow
I went up against a Hex noc
Not fun.
I was playing ww and the moment i saw him, i was like nerve action R.
Luckily he wasn't a great jungler
raw leaf
man ngl
sett may have managed to replace darius as my most hated top laner to fight
like the shield punch is so hilariously juiced
raw leaf
yeah
darius for me was i never understood how to fight him
like i just seemingly always lose the interaction
no matter what
but i can live with that better than sett like going "nah full hp bar shield tm"
and sett feels generally more common than darius these days imo
but idk how accurate that is
rustic osprey
sett may have managed to replace darius as my most hated top laner to fight
still garen for me
raw leaf
i play garen so i understand how to deal with him
hes just run at you run away to proc passive
like you just play around his cds cuz he has no means of getting you tm
like he has to really get ahead of you to do much usually
abstract rune
dealing with darius is tricky; you really don't want to get into pure slugfests but he's good at keeping you in those
rustic osprey
like you just play around his cds cuz he has no means of *getting you tm*
ye but then he does the same and just regens all lane dmg you deal to him unless you one duel kill him
rustic osprey
dealing with darius is tricky; you really don't want to get into pure slugfests ...
characters then can stick close to darius are p good vs him. trundle, voli, renekton and the like
raw leaf
one nitpick with this patch i have
the controls for new herald are weird
or at least kinda unintuitive imo
silver heath
I don't get them either and its annoying to practice
Why yes I did accidentally charge the wrong way and hit a wall
raw leaf
lol yeah
i think the idea is when you click on them you go at the angle you are in relation to it?
i think?
also on aside ill admit shyv jg has grown on a me a bit
if only as a sorta head empty be a scary thing running at the laners with aoes to sow chaos in lane for the enemy way
also shes just great in teamfights like fucking gods damn
also grabbed the galaxy skin looks great love it so much ngl
only had to drop a fiver for it too thanks to some old rp i got
raw leaf
Also Idk when they changed her e in dragon form but I really prefer the newer one to the old version she had
fallen notch
Blitzcrank gaming, I feel like a lot of the new items are more beneficial for him than old ones
Trailblazer is great, Zeke's is more useful than before imo (giving an ally bonus on-hit dmg versus someone you grab feels like a waste because Q is already such a guaranteed kill), Wardstone gives more useful stats than before, Celestial Opposition makes you a bit less paper thin
good stuff
toxic cargo
So they fixed Sundered Sky, huh
No longer a useless item like on PBE
violet hollow
Also Idk when they changed her e in dragon form but I really prefer the newer on...
Oh that happened, like 3 years ago
The new fireball is an AP menace
You get hit by it
It takes 2/4 of your health
rain girder
yeah she's a menace as AP
raw leaf
Oh that happened, like 3 years ago
The new fireball is an AP menace
Lol I'm an old head and only pretty recently came back as context lol

Lol I'm an old head and only pretty recently came back as context lol
understandably so, she is good fun now
violet hollow
oh ye she's super fun
I love my noxian gremlin child
new champs are a step above whatever mess 2021 ones were
Like, Hwei is nice, Briar is cool, and Smoulder got changed quickly and it's super easy to learn
violet hollow
I very much appreciated the immediate change they've made, also ye, love just some little dragon guy
raw leaf
I very much appreciated the immediate change they've made, also ye, love just so...
Agreed
He didn't bother me as much as some but either way it was an improvement lol
violet hollow
it was uncanny, that's the best way to put it
now it's like nothing ever happened, which is nice
raw leaf
Lol

Oh Herald being weird to use may be a bug that's good to know

he raged quit in a normal draft
after 2 deaths against aatrox
it was 5 minutes in or so

twisted fate buffs next patch, he’s getting AD and crit ratios
also crit scaling on his passive (kinda) and his E works on towers now

what a good time to have picked up that champ lol

league being league lmao

well y'kno wwhat, yeah buff TF, so that he over performs and they remove some of that power.
fallen notch
nooo I just learned that he's fun :(
spice glen
because knowing the buffing team they will end up making him real good
fallen notch
I like being able to get my money up AND my funny up all in one champion

the pro's will run amok with him sadly if he get's that buff since extra power just makes him scarier

How the fuck did Akali beat the OP allegations haha
violet hollow
we already have kalista back, i'm not surprised
silver heath
I guess a bunch of her items are getting hit
spice glen
I just kinda hope it's items being switched and swapped more often than actual champs.
I just have this one fear they'll go "You know who needs a buff or nerf? Morde."
spice glen
item wise sure but not directly
Hm...hard to say. Maybe I'm just not that great of a player but I've never felt stat checky
violet hollow
ehy don't say that, we're all on our own level, it's ok
new system is also difficult to learn
spice glen
There was only one time I Felt like I could take on someone a level higher than me, and that was a jungle morde into a mid lane vlad.
though I am okay with them removing power from his Q that got buffed for no reason.
spice glen
and warwick

Jax, Rene, j4
spice glen
most AD champs who can use it honestly have been getting Big benefits
fallen notch
note to self; Luden’s Companion is trash
tried it with AP Malph and it felt absolutely worthless
so I guess you build Stormsurge first?
spice glen
the value of it is more tied to getting some wave clear I think.
emphasis on think.
I used it as morde once for the meme and I q'd a wave and poof
violet hollow
Stormsurge do be nice yes
raw leaf
Played her once she was pretty good
Also I find it funny they keep trying to buff my build on her
violet hollow
What are you building on her?
raw leaf
Hp ad
Things like strudebreaker
Though atm she's decent with trinity in that mix
Haven't gotten far in a build with her this patch yet
Also did they change her character model?
silver heath
That's what they want her to be building
But she can do a nasty lethality build like Vi

Ye
rustic osprey
rumble is so fucking good right now holy

prob to avoid stuff like darius getting omega value and (mostly) ad casters getting even more movespeed and chase
even tho the latter ones do already weave autos but it limits it atleast

players who don't play urgot telling me how to play urgot
this is me "running it down" btw

Hmm, NACL might get fucking wacky this season
Fearless draft is a hell of an idea
Will definitely make things more interesting
(No bans, but once a champion is used, they cannot be used anymore for the best 2 of 3)
silver heath
I dunno why garen but ilaoi declines is p funny since she got fcked by the map c...
Garen’s items all got removed aiui
Since he was like THE strikebreaker guy
And some other items he built got changed or removed
rustic osprey
Wait do azir soldiers apply nashor onhit now?
bronze void
yup
Basically everyone was buying nashors on azir even if it wasn't that great on him so riot went fuckit and let it proc on azir soldiers now, so it's actually good on him :v
raw leaf
lol
ngl i still really like diana mid
i know other assasin mids do it better probably but idk i like her like game loop in mid
rustic osprey
Basically everyone was buying nashors on azir even if it wasn't *that* great on ...
Oh ye I knew that
But must have overread it in the patchnotes
Nashors was still good for azir before as the only viable attack speed option and going no ashore air just feels awkward
Know tho sheeesh
lilac bridge
Since he was like THE strikebreaker guy
isn't stridebreaker still in game?
silver heath
I think the Garen person I heard it from was exaggerating cause it sucked in 14.1
(And seems to be less bad with buffs in the hotfix)
bronze void
isn't stridebreaker still in game?
It is but stridebreaker got hit pretty hard by the demythicing

god quickplay is so weird
i got queued into another morde and ate shit hard
i have no experience playing against him
jovial stratus
fallen notch
(tl;dr crit scaling on his passive allows him to roll a second dice weighted towards 1, not sure exactly how it works)
this is in combination with getting crit scaling on his Q and W in the PBE, I had mentioned it a few days ago

So the rift herald was nicknamed Shelly
and now it has been decided that the grubs are Ed Edd and Eddy

violet hollow
gods, i haven't realised they changed shadowflame
spice glen
it's disgustingly sneaky as it's an execution item now
spice glen
or well not an actual execution one but a boosted damage on low hp
violet hollow
That with stormsurge is basically execute ye
spice glen
I have been tempted to get it as morde.
rustic osprey
its funny on kaisa now
kraken, stormsurge, shadowflame, terminus
also I have been LOVING plaiyng rengo and kha in the season
I love profane hydra so much

i find it funny leona remains lowkey my best character

Jak'sho basically fills its role as the tank capstone item, now
It is sad to see the silly shield gone, though 😔
fallen notch
wishing all Yuumi players a very “stop making my lane phase impossibly difficult”
raw leaf
lol
tbh im starting to get more and more sorta done with dealing with setts
the shield is too good imo
like i dont hate that he gets a shield with the punch but why does he get that much of a shield lol
spice glen
well it's 50% of his Max HP I think, so if he stacks HP that's pretty much going to be hueg.
Though it doesn't favour whittling down damage so it's really just about changing how you engage with him.
spice glen
YEaaah I fucking love playing Rell in Aram, just watching for that white bar to fill up and slapping a Q on it and going "no more."
woeful shuttle
well it's 50% of his Max HP I think, so if he stacks HP that's pretty much going...
yeah the secret counter is just not fighting him once his shield is stackewd
spice glen
just whittle him down like the wood worker making a spoon.
he is pretty much anti burst too because of the shield.
dim tapir
damn
playing ARAM
some low health noc just blindly all-ined on our sona, while continuously staying within attack range of my zyra
4 auto attacks later dude just dies
i feel affronted

"i have a spell shield, i can ignore that zyra"

"you're asking so much of me"

I'll be honest malphite is better off full ap

tbf yes

though why hail of blades
dim tapir
i just had a game against full AP malph and cho
and we got rolled super hard
also hail of blades was them fucking up
they built tank

oh god

they really do.

Niiice well done on that. I normally eat those and get eaten
stray mason
rustic kite
Oh, okay...
He Q1s Lee, Q2s to put it on CD and W1s to cancel the dash. This does not remove the mark. Then he Q1s a minion before Lee's mark wears off and the Q2 apparently prioritizes Lee over the minion
abstract rune
huh
rustic kite
A bug/exploit only possible w/ extreme ability haste
spice glen
it's URF
rustic kite
Mark lasts 3s, max rank Q is 6s CD, so you need to get well over 100 ability haste to pull off, probably in the ballpark of like 200 haste minimum
And yeah, URF
URF starts you at 300 haste
spice glen
it took me several minutes because of the wacky ass like stutter WEEEEEEEEEE he was doing to realise that it was just URF and this is just what happens when you allow what I could only assume to be one tricks to not have to worry about abilities.
rustic kite
Not necessarily a one-trick but yeah he's pretty cracked
spice glen
I woudl say this is definitely one trick unleashed territory. because god damn that's some wacky crap
because this is just lee sin uh..dash? ability going WOOP
dim tapir
reminds me of liss w trick with mark on aram
spice glen
oh I think I know that, you hit mark, W to a safer location and as it casts you recast and just dumpster whatever you can before you pop away.
dim tapir
yeah but i fucked up and it's her e
spice glen
it's the teleporty move, whatever that one is.
dim tapir
yeah
dim tapir
pre-game: man this is probably gonna be a one-sided game
post-game: turns out it is for them
spice glen
call for an ff
...but not for us!
dim tapir
i honestly worried about our ability to engage
or disengage
turns out if you poke them forever there's no engagement that's ever fair for the enemy team
get hit by any of our charm/root/stun and you pretty much die on the spot
spice glen
I'll be honest it relied on kennen to let the fiora follow up.
if kennen couldn't do that then rip
dim tapir
yeah i pregame i thought fiora would just run any of us down np
forgetting she can't 1v5
and i was more or less focusing on being a support
spice glen
not unless she's stacked level and item wise
also built armour items first...into 4 ap
dim tapir
considering how well our jhin was doing... probably got scared into armoring up
spice glen
the jhin i bet was fully enabled because of his four ap champs with enough cc
dim tapir
pretty much
