Support NeoGAF

[Blizzard]

I have yet to lose against a janna support in ranked. but people swear by her up and down.

She has over 50% win rate in North America bronze/silver ranked according to lolking.net. SOMEONE must be losing against her.

 

[TheFlow]

hope we get more visual updates like poppy, trist, shen, and sion.

Panth, eve, and taric need one. maybe even lee

 

[kenbo]

Good nerfs and buffs


Sol has great synergy in his passive, q, w and e

And then there is his Ult

Wtf is that

Zoning tool/slow to get stronger use out of a passive that doesn't look very reliable on its own.

lol i actually skipped from gold 5 to 3

finally broke my winstreak though with a big throw

that new champ looks garbage though how do you freeze lane with that passive ? good luck jungling with these balls hanging out from bushes

I hope nobody is trying to freeze mid lane...

I think people like her because a lot of what's popular right now likes to all-in a team and Janna has lots of tools to shut down all-ins or disengage if played decently. I have a 50% win rate with janna right now (only 10 games though) and she honestly just feels like a safe pick in most lanes. Tornado to stop all-ins on retreating carries is pretty useful.

You mean visual updates where the champion gets a complete overhaul in model and animations but Riot decides not to give them a recall animation?
Out of the many absurd decisions this company has made, that one must be the most stupid and incredibly incomprehensible, followed right by the creation of Luxanna.

New champion looks incredibly boring kit-wise. I mean, are you serious with that ult? What is this? 2009?

His design is kinda cool but I don't understand why a giant cosmic dragon who can create and destroy whole stars across the universe would join the league to fight against little kids with fire powers, sewer rats and a barbarian with a sword. Oh wait, the league doesn't exist anymore, guess it's fine then, just come up with awesome intimidating characters that can destroy the whole rest of champions in less than a second and throw them in with a reduced size. I mean, who cares? He can throw a fucking star at a yordle mummy (and hit him for 100hp) and he's the fucking god of the universe!

 

[zkylon]

Lux

Prismatic Barrier (W)
AP ratio lowered to .2 from .35
Shield value lowered to 50/70/90/110/130 from 80/105/130/155/180

that's a chunky nerf but she'll still be viable

at least i got this

Orianna

Command: Attack (Q) mana cost reduced to 30/35/40/45/50 from 50 at all ranks.

this is a great buff to her, will help a lot

Yea this dragon doesn't fit with the theme of league would of been better if he was a sky dragon so that why he could still fly across the map

 

[clemenx]

Huh, do people actually care about that stuff?

I like to read lore and shit,but fuck it if it doesn't make sense. I'm not going to stop and ponder why the fuck this god can't beat a dude with a lampost. If it's fun to use I'll take a fucking Dragon or God or whatever they come up with.

All i want them to do with lux is make the movement speed on her ball to be slower or have a delay on when she can activate it.

Lmao k.

What's the point of the lore then?

All i want them to do with lux is make the movement speed on her ball to be slower or have a delay on when she can activate it.

So you can actually dodge it? Madness.

 

[Nev]

Double. Like the amount of ults Lux can shoot in a teamfight.

 

[Newt]

Thank you Nev for recognizing the shitty risk adverse champion that Lux is.

 

[zkylon]

Lmao k.

it's a .3 ap ratio drop and less shields for the whole game up to 100 less shield at max rank

compare it to janna who got at most 4 less ad at rank 1 that scales up back to live values

All i want them to do with lux is make the movement speed on her ball to be slower or have a delay on when she can activate it.

probably not gonna happen since it's too core to her

 

[Mostmanlyman]

Yeah it is crazy, like unless your playing some one with mobility you cant dodge it at all. Maybe once you get boots but still it is fucking hard.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Oh another Draven skin

nailed it

Q: Aurelion Sol reaches into the firmament and destroys a star, snuffing out millions of lives and gaining 20 Attack Damage for 5 seconds.

[garath]

this took way longer than it should have

Zeds lifedrinkers what an edgy name.

 

[zkylon]

zeds hexdrinkers is more appropriate

 

[Newt]

Gz on gold.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

didnt even nerf jannas e meaningfully.

 

[nbraun80]

this took way longer than it should have

the real burning question is, what is the braum's build that the guy is bitching about?

 

[Hard]

you'd think a champ designed to prevent #LCSBIGPLAYS would be nerfed harder

but nah

 

[dimb]

By the numbers, Lux shield is probably the strongest non-ult ability in the game. Before scaling you can see up to 1.8k in shields. 60 mana. 10 second cooldown. Pretty dumb that it's been like this for so long.

 

[Fruity Insanity]

Well Kali is getting gutted. -_-

I get that she's been strong in pro play for so long, but.

C'mon.

 

[garath]

Thx guys.

the real burning question is, what is the braum's build that the guy is bitching about?

He sold everything.

 

[patchday]

grats man!!

 

[Edwardo]

What is this club you all were talking about?

 

[Stone Ocean]

It's 4/3/3/1/0 AD, that's not deserving of being called a nerf lol

 

[TheFlow]

this took way longer than it should have

Hopefully I will be joining you soon.
Currently at 68lp off a win streak

 

[Stone Ocean]

Lux shield sounds like a weird place to hit her

 

[Ferga]

So the new champ does no damage if you just dodge the 3 moving stars that move insanely slow.

What?

 

[Neol]

So the new champ does no damage if you just dodge the 3 moving stars that move insanely slow.

What?

I'm assuming what your supposed to do is to time and expand the star hitbox right when your enemy will collide with it when doing so.

I can see it doing well to deny CS and general zoning.

Name a popular mid laner that is going to be stopped by a zoning tool that short/weak.

 

[TheFlow]

I can see it working Better in teamfights than mid.


So is the goal to build him tanky then?

[Neol]

I'm just stating how I see it lol

But yea I don't think he'll be a popular mid unless I look at the numbers. Based on on his kit I say he looks more like a jungler then a mid laner.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

shoulda made his ult relocate.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Ult should add more stars.

 

[Neol]

If anything I don't think he'll have trouble CSing or pushing lane in general as he does have a constant source of damage.

 

[jerd]

Do we have numbers on his ult? I'm guessing the damage will be pretty big since it's so low utility

 

[Ferga]

Ok. So he can jungle pretty well.

That makes a lot more sense now. He does have a pretty nice jungle kit with the mobility and cc.

 

[Hard]

On wi-fi, let's try some jungle tonight.

 

[Tizoc]

Like? The RoA? The ZZ? You can at least tell me what it is

RoA for one thing, I personally prefer just going straight tank on him; Iceborn is great because of its Sheen passive and cooldown. Heck even Frozen Heart would be good. You then just tank up to high heaven and become nigh unkillable, Dead Man is good for setting up your ulti as well.
Once played with a malph who went against 3 AD melees and managed to score a kill before dying.

On the one hand I get why RoA at least would be OK, but you're better off just going staright on tanky with Malph.

 

[drawkcaB]

Definitely interesting in terms of possibilities.

i agree, tho lux has for the longest time been a non-issue since there were always stronger mages than her

now that all the top mages are waker on top of being harder and rito buffed her laning immensely by adding thunderlords it's become a problem

so yeah, the spell was really op before, but it's not a tiny nerf. that being said she'll still be one of the top mages

 

[TheFlow]

I consider

Lux

Annie

Malz

To be op mages based on how easily they can rekt enemies teams
