i was speaking in terms of the people who want it to actually work that way, sorry i wasn't specific
if they decide to make it prioritize your primary over your secondary by a wide margin, midlaners are going to have queue times like a rogue in WOW in raidfinder a few years ago.
"yeah we think viktor has been very strong for many patches"
although his winrate has been decaying with every patch since champion.gg can remember and he's not very successful in competitive either
"his waveclear is too safe"
so let's make him weaker
meanwhile
"yo we know everyone hates katarina cos her kit is super toxic but uhh some random stuff about roaming let's make her laning a ton more safer cos u know targeted manaless harass is always a great idea on a champion that can 100-0 by just cilcking on you"
i didn't say anything about the ahri love tap cos ahri is undoubtely overtuned but this is so dumb

Seems more like a change for competitive rather than SoloQ. Viktor's lazor was always good for wave-clearing and stalling a game out until he could hit his power spikes. Stalled out games are boring, so they toned it down.
Tbh they should be looking more into the fundamental issues like how snowbally the game is (meaning no teams are willing to take risks), constant lane swaps, 4v0 turret trading, and how the game is PvE for the first 20 minutes.

ETA on the patch actually going live?

Whoa, this is actually a pretty good change
she should just get a rework, her design's terrible
today
yeah, in the previous season
agreed. they really just need to give her a resource, it's just seems to difficult to balance around having no resource cost and resets.
it's always the same time, usually in the early AM if you're in NA. It's always 5AM here(central time)

Hey look who's here
That Annie skin is great
Not this season. Plus if they are only going off of pick rate, they need to nerf; Lulu, Alistar, Kalista, Elise, Corki, Rek'Sai, Poppy, Braum, Nidalee, Graves, Fiora, Janna, Caitlyn, Ezreal, Lissandra, Morgana, Ahri before they even get to Viktors pick rate.

Minion collision is a fucking stupid mechanic. Either it works against you in ways that you can do jack shit about besides picking Fizz or you can abuse it to do the same against someone else.
It doesn't make the game more fun, it doesn't make the game more complex, all it adds is frustration akin to Smash Brawl tripping.

I think it was fine until they changed it a few patches ago. Getting stuck is frustrating. I don't remember this frustration until recently..

I've had what felt like the stupidest creep blocks lately where the character seems to get confused in its pathing and I end up missing a last hit because of it. Beyond obnoxious.
that's mostly because League never got its implementation right and clearly never will. They seem intent on bending over backwards to find ways to "simplify" the gameplay experience and remove traces of advanced strategy, itemization and composition options. I suppose in that context you're right and they should. Especially if pathing is going to be kinda shit like it tends to be these days.
Anyway, I hope at some point in the future that they revisit the Muramana change because I can't think of another offensive item that essentially stops providing its main benefit for the remainder of a fight if you use it too much, who's spending is out of your control. In this game or any other. I guess I should blame the Gnar design and the trend that followed it. Its another dumbing down measure that will restrict how I want to play a champ down the stretch.
I feel like if I want to burn my last 20% on Muramana procs to secure a kill then I should be able to make that decision, Riot. If I need to burn Muramana active attacks to help defend against super minions, let me have the choice to do that. The simplification efforts are probably of the right spirit, but unduly limiting in practice.
Ekko has such a malleable kit in my opinion. Wouldn't be surprised if there's some underused items on him that are almost or as effective as his current core build.
Edit: actually the IBG nerf shouldn't affect Ekko much at all and the addition of Expose Weakness seems like something he'd really want.
oh you meant across all regions
his pickrate or winrate isn't really indicative of anything tho, he's hardly a pick or ban championa and his winrate has been super average
there's an easy solution, just go runic echoes on him
I don't have too many problems with first clear on Hecarim right now. Kind of hate the mana thing because he needs to use abilities to clear and just do stuff but the game is so punishing to that.
The numbers are in D is superior

well that article was a waste of that author's time.
Now I know why I can't get to masters every season!

I like the Jhin changes to his W and R that now are considered single target against champions. This means that Deathfire Touch is the best mastery for him, since it scales off 60% Bonus AD over 4 seconds for single-target spells.
It's actually quite a big buff I think.

Korean players prefer F for flash. F superior representative of superior region.

Yeah probably. Like all the ranked players are going to spilt up so less people in each one

End of season rewards are dynamic queue only.

Wait really?? That pretty dumb is should be for all types of ranked.
I think that they implied dynamic queue would be the primary focus for end of season rewards but I don't remember seeing that only dynamic queue would get them.
doubt it. also not really what I meant. increased ip gains or something.
Doesn't help him. By the time Runic Echoes is purchased his mana issues have started to subside.
Yeah, I misspoke. First clear doesn't beat you up I the sense that it's hard, but rather that if a gank opportunity isn't open at level 3 or so and I go back to farming camps, then as I go on I find my health and mana pool getting low enough that even if a gank does present itself shortly after but before my first back I can't do it.
wouldn't an early hunters potion help quite a bit?
I assume thats a normal game in which case I'm not sure what you expect. Basically the reason people play ranked is because it guarantees quality, or at least evenly matched, games
I just got beat by a devourer volibear. Definitely a career low for me as a jungler
The experimental j4 changes are really nice
