I love this thing.

(SEE? LOTA BELIEVE)

 

[dimb]

Ninja Tabi nerfed so hard. Just make them Phase Boots. Unit collision is pretty unimportant in LoL. Can't really imagine myself going for Tabi anymore. Jax rework nowhere in sight either...ffffffffffffffffff.

Now I can watch DOTA and LoL all day and never played either of them again.

 

[Uchip]

that would be great if i knew what PBE was
does this mean we can spectate bokens inevitable 1v1's?

 

[dimb]

Public Beta Environment...or something. I think the "E" is Environment. It's the stuff they test before patching into the build everyone plays on.

What the crap is this? They were already only useful over other boots in a handful of situations, now I'm pretty sure I'll never buy them.

Nope. Ninja Tabi were the best boots in the game against AD heavy comps.

 

[AcridMeat]

Shit, Maokai skin is awesome, Gangplank's I'll need to see in game.


Why I have no IP for champs D;

 

[HappyBivouac]

Yes, that's the situation in which they were useful. The dodge was pretty handy though.

 

[dimb]

Yes, that's the situation in which they were useful. The dodge was pretty handy though.

Very common situation though. AD bruiser top, AD carry bot, AD based jungler. Not enough people buy Tabi because they see Mercs and instantly think it is the right choice to avoid CC/damage.

=Viktor: The Machine Herald=
Skins: Full Machine Viktor and Prototype Viktor

Passive: Evolving Technology Viktor starts with a Hex Core that provides him with stats and can be upgraded in the store to augment one of his abilities. The Hex Core can only be upgraded once, and cannot be sold back to the store.

The Hex Core (Can Not Be Sold) +3 Ability Power per level. This item can be upgraded into one of three augments that enhance Viktor's basic abilities. Click the item in the store to discover its upgrades.

Q: Power Transfer - Viktor blasts an enemy unit dealing magic damage, returning a portion of the damage dealt as a shield.
Augment: +3 Ability Power per level, +220 Health, +6 Health Regen per 5 seconds
Ability Augment: Increases Viktor's Movement Speed by 30% for 3 seconds

W: Gravity Field - Viktor conjures a heavy gravitational field, slowing all enemies and stacking a debuff every 0.5 seconds. At 3 stacks enemies inside are stunned for 1.5 seconds.
Augment: +3 Ability Power per level, +200 Mana, +10% Cooldown Reduction, +5 Mana Regen per 5 seconds
Ability Augment: Gravity Field has an additional 30% cast range.

E: Death Ray - Viktor uses his robotic arm to fire a chaos beam that cuts across the field in a line, dealing damage to any opponents struck in its path.
Augment: +3 Ability Power per level, +45 Ability Power
Ability Augment: Death Ray sets fire to enemies, dealing 30% additional magic damage over 4 seconds.

R: Chaos Storm - Viktor conjures a singularity on the field which deals magic damage and briefly silences enemies. The singularity then does magic damage to all nearby enemies every second. Viktor can redirect the singularity.
R (Chaos Storm Activated): Storm Control - Relocate the singularity to your cursor position.

Tips for Playing as Viktor: Death Ray is a powerful poke and a strong area of denial tool. Use it in combination with Graviton Field to control your enemy's position. Make sure you choose the right augment. Each augment serves to boost specific strengths in Viktor and can only be purchased once a game.
Tips for Opposing Viktor: Be careful about how close you let Viktor get to you. Viktor's control of the battle field increases with his proximity to his opponent. Be aware of what augment Viktor is using by looking at the color of the light on his staff.

Lore: Early in life, Viktor discovered his passion for science and invention, particularly in the field of mechanical automation. He attended Zaun's prestigious College of Techmaturgy and led the team that constructed Blitzcrank – a scientific breakthrough that he expected to vault him to the top of his profession. Unfortunately his triumph was usurped by Professor Stanwick, who stole credit for developing Blitzcrank's sentience and later used Viktor's research to revive Urgot. Viktor's appeals for justice fell on deaf ears, and he sank into a deep depression. He withdrew from the College and barricaded himself in his private laboratory, cutting all human ties. There, in secret, he conceived a project for which nobody else could claim credit. Desiring both to revolutionize his field and to eliminate the jealous human emotions which festered inside him, he engineered parts to replace and improve his own body. When Viktor re-emerged, almost no trace of the original man remained. Not only had he supplanted the majority of his anatomy, but his personality had changed. His previous hope to better society was replaced by an obsession with what he called ''the glorious evolution.'' He saw himself as the patron and pioneer of Valoran's future – a future in which man would renounce his flesh in favor of superior hextech augmentations. Though Viktor's initial appeals were met with heavy skepticism, scientists were confounded by the sophistication of his machinery. By integrating his mind with techmaturgical devices, he had been able to drastically accelerate the progress of his research. His transformation had stripped him of what he perceived as his emotional weaknesses, but there was some lingering residue of resentment against the Professor. Viktor joined the League of Legends to pit his inventions against the greatest opponents Valoran could offer, and to correct any weaknesses or inefficiencies that remained. ''In one's hand, techmaturgy is a tool. As one's hand, it is liberation.'' -Viktor

[Boken]

Augment ability seems like a neat mechanic.

He has an AoE stun, an AoE silence and a self shield. Good LAWD.

 

[bjaelke]

Jungle invading with that stun :/ The only champion to have a non-ultimate AoE stun was the old Twisted Fate. Riot removed that for a reason...

Hopefully he doesn't get stupid ratios like Orianna, which is a unique but useless champion.

 

[Boken]

Orianna was a god with her ratios. She only faded away after they shaved off 75 range off her Q and 0.1 AP off her W. Even so, if she keeps the lowered ratios but gets her range back I'm sure she'd be very strong.

non-ultimate AoE stun was the old Twisted Fate

Annie, W. Granted its low range and has a large CD (the stun does).

 

[Achtius]

Well, it's a shame I missed tonight's game.

OH MY GOD YES

any reason why you want it that much in classic?

 

[bjaelke]

Orianna was a god with her ratios. She only faded away after they shaved off 75 range off her Q and 0.1 AP off her W. Even so, if she keeps the lowered ratios but gets her range back I'm sure she'd be very strong.

I meant range not ratio. My mistake.

Ionic Spark

Cost reduced to 2125 from 2300

Ninja Tabi
+35 Armor
UNIQUE Passive: Ignores Unit Collision
UNIQUE Passive: Enhanced Movement 2

BOTH of these things make me happy. I hardly ever bought ninja tabi since mercury treads almost always seem superior for crowd control stuff and magic, but that boost is nice. *edit* Oh, 12% dodge was a significant nerf? Nevermind then.

For a minute I was thinking that lightbringer was getting brought to summoner's rift, but nope. Still, ionic spark sounds cool as long as it's not overpowered...or maybe it can be overpowered but ONLY I am allowed to buy it. I want to try it on Teemo instead of malady. >

*final edit* Christmas tree Maokai is such a great idea.

*even final-er edit*

Not true. Annie, had one as mentioned, possibly Brand if he can combo into the tower and that stuns (and Veigar if you count the ring rather than a circle/cone AOE). Alistar has an AOE 1.5 second stun around himself.
