Hell, he's even whiter and has blond hair after they rebalanced his textures

Is ranked decay still active in Preseason?
Nope.

New Poppy seems pretty bad as a laner at a first glance. I dunno why her Q needs to do reduced damage to minions

And there it is.
yeah i'll be making the thread later today
didn't rito also kind of screw up worlds hype by not doing any content until the day before?
yup
Three games today, all three had Poppy on each side. One was even a support.
I think a lot of these "low cooldown, high mana cost" champions like Vel, Syndra, etc are going to come back strong with the mastery and mana regen changes.
Probably just as popular as any new champ or remake lol.
she's very popular with me
syndra, i dunno, she's gotten buffed quite a lot in weird places and that's been boosting her winrate quite a bit but i don't think she's necessarily strong, too many tanks running around and her e is still buggy as all shit.
it's just really good because it aligns really well with most mage's poke patterns. like with syndra you'll just grab a minion, hurl it over other mid's head, q and auto them and get the thunderlord's proc then walk away. same with ori, qw auto then walk away. with viktor you have two procs in ur q and your upgraded e so it's really easy to get thunderlords proc off, etc.
i really like that mastery, i feel like it rewards aggressive play and commiting to trades rather than just being a bit of extra dmg like deathfire
stormraiders is also a cool mastery in concept, i'd really like to use that on, say, viktor since he probably could just proc it with double e and adding also the ms buff from his q he'd probably be super hard to catch
i dunno, velkoz is straight op with like 900 base dmg on his ult and other nonsense with that. same with brand and malzahar, these are champions that are really op but they're unpopular so they fly under the nerf radar

thunderlords was already the best offensive keystone in 5.23 if you weren't a dot mage

stormraiders is too shit compared to damage buffs etc to be considered
i think deathfire should be removed entirely and replaced with something interesting that has an actual play pattern rather than just "make dot champions incredibly broken"
stormraiders i love the concept but i think it's wrongfully aimed at assassins rather than mages. like being on % health just makes it so that it's only good against squishies and assassins will always rather have the bit extra dmg to secure the kill rather than a bit of extra ms. like leblanc or ahri or zed can always back out and someone like fizz can zhonyas until he has e cd back.
but if it had like a really high dmg threshold that you have to meet then mages could proc it through aoe and it helps you kite and chase which is way more useful than a bit of cdr to escape as an assassin

Runic Echoes feels like ass on Elise. Whichever jungler this change is aimed won't be helped very much nor will it bring in any new champions who given the right circumstances can jungle right now (Karthus, Zyra) because their issues aren't related to itemization but getting pounded early on in the jungle.

its just an ezreal item

Well, time to see how Trist fares with Poppys popping around
i've said it before, champions like zyra and karthus and brand are just a trap for rito to balance ap junglers around
balance it around diana, elise and nidalee and fiddle and fuck everyone other ap champion
you belong midlane damn it
per tradition ezreal has to ruin one jungle item so might as well get it over with quickly
Fiddle?
Based on the fact that it coincides with a buff to his ult I just assumed they wanted to give him some love.
I think fervor was still more common last patch. I just tuned into a qtpie game for just a minute and pretty sure there were 6 tlords in the game including both adcs
lol sorry double post gotta pad those wall of shame numbers i guess

Fervor feels awful right now
yeah fervor was the keystone on non mids i think
right now i don't know, probably thunderlord on everyone since cunning also gives like twice as much arpen now lmao
I love the keystones but it is gonna be really hard for them to create masteries like those in the offensive tree without them dictating the meta
I'd honestly be shocked if they left the offensive tree in its current state. I fully expect Riot to completely rework 2 if not all 3 of the offensive keystones. The cunning keystones are cool but idk if anyone is gonna take stormraider's over thunderlords. The defensive keystones rock but idk if i've seen a single person take strength of ages lol

what would be the best boot enchantment for supports? I usually pick the 10% more speed for allies
i just dont understand the fervor nerf. stacking it on minions was 100% essential for bruisers. even with 2 stacks per ability, if you can't pre-stack before going in for trades you might as well not even have the mastery. by the time you get it fully stacked now, you've already ended your trade and thus can't actually utilize what it gives you.

guess its time to just ignore the ferocity tree because its the shittiest tree of all time.
mobility or lucidity

best boot enchants are distortion and captains
tbh i felt bad going 18 in ferocity on most champions already, this just ensures i'll probably never do it again
i've been running a split of 18 in a tree, and 6/6 in the other trees for a lot of things. it actually works really well.

Yeah i usually end up taking distortion upgrade.
