I think Aurelion Sol will be the next Azir.

Plays like nothing else and will take a while for people to get used to it, but when they do he'll be broken as fuck.

Someone's gonna find a way to make him stupid as an AP tank, I just feel it in my bones

i really don't think k6 needed a buff

rito why

 

[Neol]

Yea that's what I'm expecting too.

Gonna try him out in the jungle a few times. Feel like a lot of his potential lies there.

 

[Envelope]

tank ekko is super fun

maybe tank AS will be super fun too?

 

[jerd]

If kha goes from 47% win rate to pick/ban with a half second cool down buff then his kit is truly ryze levels of unworkable.

The NX "leaks" on gaming side have been the most fun things on GAF in a while. I love console launches

 

[patchday]

looks like low elo banning Aurelian Sol.

I ban him in ranked because i don't want to play with some guy who literally just bought him 5 minutes prior

 

[patchday]

Is Nunu any good in jungle? I just dodged this lobby where someone was picking nunu jungle with smite and exhaust. Our Top woulda been Riven. I'd take a chance at Riven but nunu scared me away fast

Yeah same here

 

[patchday]

yeah too bad there is no Mastery prereq. Thats how Smite works

edit- lol I just banned Sol. just had the feeling my Mid was gonna play him

There's nothing wrong with a jungle Nunu. If played right, he can make the enemy jungler's life a nightmare.

 

[Ferga]

Or you go against a jungler who knows how to clear vs Nunu and forces Nunu to be absolutely useless

best part is there isn't even a console announcement yet

 

[patchday]

wow, cant believe we lost. I had my adc so fed (I was support Alistar). But every other lane got lost and team was fighting amongst thgemselves.so eventually the other fed enemies came into bot lane which was upsetting cause we could've won if other lanes woulda at least put down wards and played safe

 

[Hard]

Don't worry guys I'm an Ayyrelion Solmao main with over 9000 confirmed kills

 

[Bacon]

I have a pbe account don't worry

 

[patchday]

That feel when you see enemy team has a mid jhin

I've never seen a mid jhin do anything. But an adc jhin... oh boy

 

[Dobkeratops]

First game as the new husbando and went 10/1/5 against the plat 2 katarina that was diamond last season. Totally not boosted at all, no sir. We were 5 gaffers and Sits got us chests as well (^:

Yeah, I'm maining this champ and not just because he's fun to play. All I require now is a void skin for reasons, costy pls make it so ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[patchday]

Wow Riot this buggy client from hell. Its my turn to ban; I go try to ban and the Ban button is disabled.

Nice

I couldnt ban anyone. now hit with a dodge penalty and its the client's fault

That seems like the usual PVP.net stealth disconnect wherein the game doesn't send the info that you've clicked a champion to ban and therefore it doesn't enable the ban button.

Variants of this have been happening to a bunch of people during champ select in the past months, tho less often since last patch from my experience. I have had it happen on promos where it counts as a loss - fun times.

 

[dimb]

Aurelion Sol seems pretty strong from what I've seen. Pretty unique playstyle too.

Yeah guess that was it. Glad I was not in my promos then.

 

[kenbo]

The prodigal idiot returneth. I need a loyalty card, every 5 bans you get a get ouf of jail free card.

So what did I miss besides Newt beating Regi's retirement period record and the whole solo Q merdestorm

didnt even mnotice your absence

top lane?

 

[dimb]

top lane?

Mid. I don't see him being run anywhere else.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

I wonder, does ayrelion solmao loses his his spinning balls to yasuos wind shields?

 

[Stone Ocean]

At least pretend to miss me

I wonder, does ayrelion solmao loses his his spinning balls to yasuos wind shields?

Probably not, making them projectiles would be shitty, Braum and Yasuo would negate his damage so fucking hard.

 

[Orochinagis]

Can I reroll the free skin essence ? I got sheriff cait

 

[SenorArdilla]

Can't reroll shards into shards as far as I know, only permanents. You need 3 shards to reroll into a permanent.

Played with a Kalista for the first time. Her ult is weird.

 

[Envelope]

the amount of essence i'd need to actually use any of these is ridiculous, especially with skins for champs i don't even own

Battlecast is a pretty great draw though...

 

[Envelope]

true, it is a pretty sweet skin, it'll take a while for me to get enough essence to unlock it though, the only way to get essence is to break down other skin shards, right? So i'd have to give up other skins to get it

i mean it's a chance to get an awesome skin for practically free, so i'm not complaining, still just figuring out how the whole crafting thing works

 

[Stone Ocean]

How much essence does it cost to unlock those?

 

[Envelope]

How much essence does it cost to unlock those?

around 2k for the purple ones

 

[Hard]

nigga when i gonna get this last key fragment i mean what the fug

 

[patchday]

ugh, you guys starting to remind me of DestinyGAF now. I have paid no attention to the new loot system myself

 

[kenbo]

we could talk about aurelion sol instead

 

[SenorArdilla]

Aurelion Sol's lore is basically the pilot of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

I've tried support Alistar twice now, and really really did badly both times. Don't remember the first matchup, but tonight it was against Jhin & Morgana, and I just couldn't do anything. I felt like I had to get close to do anything, but if I tried they'd just kite back and punish me. If I tried to W,Q into them or something I still usually ended up losing more. It was pretty miserable.

I get that I don't know how to play him yet, but man... I'm pretty much always going to go up against ranged champs in bot lane, whaddya do?

Bait out spells and go on low mana/ when cds are out. Play the mind game/resource game is all. Sometimes supporting with alistar/initiate based champions is boring and frustratuing because you are just counter picked or they are better players. Play it passive communicate with jungler and go in when they slip up.

 

[drawkcaB]

Fucking morons. I've been matched with nothing but fucking morons. Fuck every dumb shit ADC that doesn't bother to buy a last whisper item in their 6 item build and fuck every Aurelian Sol player. Both kept getting caught. You think you'd learn about the 12th time but nah, fuck it yolo #worth. Cocksuckers.

 

[Orochinagis]

Got the free mistery ward, Amumu ward, yay

Jhin+Morgana is maybe the strongest bot lane combo in the game right now, especially against hard engage like Alistar. Don't feel too bad.

Nerfed too hard. RIP buddy.

Kennen ADC, shen top pretending to support, what a lovely night,,,,

 

[drawkcaB]

Yep. They need to rework his W when used on allies.

 

[Blizzard]

I am starting to sympathize with zkylon's solo queue wish. I decided I'd try playing mid again. Putting mid with jungle or mid with adc only seems to get me jungle or ADC thus far, but I guess I'll keep trying.

 

[Black-Wind]

The AS release has turned up a lot of BM children :/

And RoA is such a strange buy. Like, it just seems like you have to take a back set to your power spike if you want to stack that cause it take so long to buy completely. I don't think I can do it.
