God, I just wasted 20 minutes in lobby forcing people to dodge because of their shit bans.

I'm not gonna play against goddamn Fiora.

In the book I wrote earlier I also forgot to mention I think it's crappy this game lacks a "Try" mode like HOTS has where you can try a champion first before buying. sure, LoL has a "Refund" feature but you only get 3 shots at it and that's it. No recharging. So most folks will be terrified to waste their refunds. Which I am sure if the whole point :)

Riot could eliminate the half-baked refund feature and just offer a "Try" mode.

The Free rotations are just lame anyways. I've seen Kalista popup like 3 times. Yet some other heroes hasn't even been on free rotation since I've started (like Zyra)

Yeah I agree with you. There are dozens of champs I never have played, I am waiting for my pbe request to be expected, so that I can try out everyone.

I need The Rex support group. Intentional feeders afk mid or tops plague me every other game if not more often than that. Might be time for a role swap or going back to my more casual play schedule.
I always feel terrible knowing I wasted three hours of my day chasing a win into yet another 4v5. At least worlds is coming up soon!
 
Marksman changes said:
There are a lot of them in progress, and we've mentioned a few already (MF/Quinn). Not sure if I should spoil the rest.

There will be a bunch of them with like 1 skill or mechanic change (like the juggernauts) focused on making them more unique. Some marksmen, Lucian and Graves for example, have a ton of overlap in playstyle and strengths/weaknesses. We hope to fix those type of overlaps.

On top of the characters getting "reworks" we are probably going to do a stat/scaling pass on nearly all of the marksmen to go with the updated marksmen items that are being worked on by the systems team.
Ya'll better farm your tank stats real good

It has been a long hard road learning Leona. But it is finally starting to pay off. I'm keeping my adcs alive much better, my K/D/A is much better, and I'm learning her Ult much better...

I think I now have the worst weekend on record. After winning streaks of 7, 8, and 11 last weekend, I went 5-20 this weekend. From Silver 1 promos, to Silver 4.

My latest loss to a proxy singes just makes it even worse.

I love this game... I love this game... I hate this. Probably not logging on till next Thursday, just give myself a break.

cool ashe

Kayle is basically just an ADC that does magic damage with support attributes.
it's a mage with targeted spells and it's an "adc" with shit range that gets on cooldown.

it's high in the ranking for shittiest champions in the game, only thing worth a damn about kayle is her ult

and that lightsaber skin that one is really cool

Played kha for the first time since that isolation buff. Feels real nice. Seems like even when the team is grouped up its easy enough to find an isolated target.

lol

i just hate the champion, she has a cool ult but her passive is lame, her q is lame, her w is lame and her e is lame and her visual design is lame as are most of her skins and lore

like a targeted slow and a speed buff... what kind of shitty design is that
 

zkylon

so coming up next

poppy and taric reworks

mini shen rework

adc rework - mf and quinn and other unannounced adcs, itemization and stats and scaling passes

It sadly is a useless item since you give up the gold bonus in favour of the final item.

no, it's a really useful item, just not one that i think is interesting or good for the game

it's far from useless wth

Your mind just can't capture the gestalt of Kayle's beauty.
It's not about what an ability by itself does, but what it achieves through the power of friendship with other abilities.

It all boils down to love, and men who have been exposed waifu-rays for too long are known to have no love in their heart.

Draven has a fast aoe slow and a speed buff

cmon man zkylon

kayle is a princess

she is a paragon of justice and so the design is fitting because you can never escape from justice cos shes gonna run fast n slow you

kayle is ranked fairly decent on here at #41. I personally dont play her because I find her plain and dull. Her swing attacks just feel as plain as it can be

shes super short ranged and the only way she will survive anything sneezing on her is if she can reactively ult herself before she gets cced

slow n speed seems fair

As you know, I just wish quinn had a diff ult. But a complete rework would be fine too if that's what it takes to get rid of bird form

lame, not unfair

lame lame lame

Hopefully they bring back the ult toggle on quinn
not sure if that's the greatest idea, but i think much lower cd would be a good start to have some fun with bird form

i'm still not sure what they want with quinn
 
I've seen some flaming and heated conversations in my day but...

This one may take the cake. They had 2 of our inhibs at ~30 minutes and couldn't finish the deal, getting wiped several times. Last 20 minutes of the match saw a ~15k net worth swing. At the enemies final base defense at their doorsteps (starting at their mid T3) Rengar got hooked by thresh and our Viegar had like 1200 AP so you know how that ended for him. Final wipe, finish. Well...Xin and Rengar were not enjoying each others company anymore:

Mother of God. They go on for so long . . . lol. That is pretty good shit.

After 3 losses, played a game as Blitz. We demloshed 45 to 12. I was 2/1/25. It feels good, man. I could cry.

I want constant free ip boosts too, EUNE >=/

There's like this app for Garena servers where you spin a wheel and it randomly gives you stuff. You can spin every 8 hours and the prizes are 10-day skin rental/10 day ward rental/ 1 day Ip boost/ 4 win Ip boost, 1 day XP boost and a bunch of IPs. It's nice for us since we don't get those double ip weekends and RP discounts. There is the occasional better luck next time though so it's not like we win stuff every 8 hours or sometimes you get the same ward skins consecutively and I don't think it stacks.
 
There are RP discounts on Garena. Stuff like "buy X amount of RP, get Y RP free". Usually only around 10—25% depends on how much you buy.

The spin the wheel thong is new to me. I guess that was introduced this year.

Garena also used to let you rent some skins using Energy, which was a currency you earned just by being logged in. I think you can only buy XP and IP boosts with it now?
