Anyone use Boots of Swiftness? Saw a vid about them today and added them to my possible use items.

I tried them out and the logic behind them seems ... solid! That reduction to slow feels like it really has helped me get out of jams when otherwise I would be defenseless.

Depends on your champion/role. Most of the time they are only valuable on certain junglers and supports.

rex/newt/ghost, if dynamic isn't up when i get home by 7pm pst (3 hours), i won't be around tonight either.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Swifties are wildly popular in pro matches for some reason. Not just supp/jg

 

[Quonny]

Cooldown boots on everyone but ADC.

best strat

This is the vid I saw about it.

 

[Nekofrog]

i almost always buy swifties. if my champion isn't cooldown dependent, it's 100% swifties. they're too good right now for the price.

 

[Newt]

It's funny how Lyte manages to consistently piss off the community.

 

[Fracas]

Yeah I can't do old ranked anymore. People just lost their minds in champ select. Dynamic queue is just too good. Hope it's up soon.

What did Lyte do/say this time?

He's my role model.

He's in charge of the dynamic queue project.

I really like getting the speed upgrade on my boots early because it really helps running away and chasing people.

 

[Newt]

Ghost got baited too hard by dynamic queue.

Zkylon finally switching up the fan art, even though it is genderbend

 

[Quonny]

no quinn

shit art

 

[zkylon]

can u name them all tho

 

[Quonny]

Katarina, Lux, Ezreal?, Sona, Ahri, Vi, Caitlyn...and I think Ashe. Was gonna say Riven but the glove.

 

[Hard]

Would not be surprised at all if swifties got a light whack with the nerf bat. They're so cheap for the extra speed and slow resistance they give. As long as you're not facing a hard CC-heavy team, one should be OK getting them.

They're probably going to raise the price up a bit to correspond with the other boots methinks.

 

[Nekofrog]

careful fellow platters, theoddone placed in plat 2 and started losing so he's probably gonna be stuck in plat with us for a bit. dodge or avoid when he's in queue or you're guaranteed 100% to get stream sniped

unless you're vs him, then you're good.

 

[Mostmanlyman]

I dont know the orange hair one, and the far right one.

 

[TheFlow]

when is preseason over?

 

[Hard]

Season 6 already started fam

[SENPAIatLARGE]

The mage class rework sounds super interesting. If they can save Cassiopeia and make vladmir fun to play against, imI will be impressed.

 

[zkylon]

it's lux then ezreal, and far right is ashe

what about this one >

[Edwardo]

Still no dynamic queue?

What the fak

 

[Ferga]

Whats with 90% of plat players not knowing how to do baron?

Everyone tries to burst it near the end, making it impossible for the jungler to smite.

Just a tip for everyone:

Keep the damage constant on baron, don't start randomly bursting it near the end. You give the enemy jungler a better chance of stealing it.

But if the damage is constant then the enemy jungler has a equal chance of judging when to smite it.

If everyone bursts it at the end you're actually way more likely to actually prevent the enemy jungler taking it. :s

Like, I'm not being crazy am I?

 

[dimb]

I'm a jungle main and I'm cool with people doing whatever they want because I never miss Smite.

 

[pigeon]

The appropriate way to prevent the enemy jungler from stealing the baron is to not do baron if you lack map control and the enemy jungler is alive.

i'm surprise rito hasn't made any recent efforts to nerf fiora after how much she's been tearing ppl down in competitive

i like fiora, she sounds like a champion that once balanced might turn to be a thresh or an ori

 

[Peanut Butter]

lol @ Rengar, Xin, and Amumu lurking in the shadows.

What do you think Fiora needs balance-wise?

Like, the big thing about Fiora as I see it is that her teamfight contribution is so low, even lower than other strong splitpush duelists. So she's strong in a pro setting where you can organize around the splitpush, and maybe too strong (although she's also been the counterpick in a lot of these matches), but if the enemy team can force fights more effectively the team will have trouble. Jax has similar problems in many cases.

from watching competitive mostly it feels like she gets too strong off levels to the point she's kind of unshutdownable as well as having like positive matchups against pretty much everyone

i enjoy watching her best case scenarios a whole bunch but maybe she should be a riskier pick, like riven or something

Latin American Spanish Jhin sounds huh.... heavy breathing and whistling

 

[zkylon]

mage rework stuff: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/jQmE1EjE-mid-year-mage-update

big 6 that'll get adc-like reworks are:
malz
velkoz
brand
vlad
cassi
zyra

good selection i guess

actual post is kind of nothing

jungle mains shouldn't have a hard time with knowing when to smite

 

[jerd]

jungle mains shouldn't have a hard time with knowing when to smite

That's kinda like saying laners shouldn't have a hard time knowing when to all in or trade etc. While technically true there are a lot of variables besides just "smite it when it's low".

 

[Orochinagis]

I wish, if you choose Jungle instant put the smite spell on that role.

2 words "get gud"


Also who dafuq plays Urgot mid in low elo. This dude went 2/8 and cost me a game plus a trynd who would split push everyteam fight. Which is only a good idea when we are actually winning not defending inhibs.

edit: that was his first time playing urgot in ranked of course

 

[Newt]

Urgot is actually a really fun adc.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Man the new poppy is really strong. Able to 1v2 and win most fights.

Just like the old poppy.

 

[Quonny]

lol cassi getting a rework

I hope they go all the way with what they originally tried to do and make her a bot lane mage. I guess the hardest part would be finding a way to let her push towers.

 

[Calvero]

this yi in my game just switched out flash for teleport right before the game started. said his ult is his escape. why are there so many yi players that think they're ult is invulnerable to disables like stuns, when it's only slows.
