Tristana is really fun, damn. I've only ever tried her twice but both times I have, I wound up doing really well. Her kit just seems super solid. Very satisfying to throw a charge onto a tower, pumping it up, then waddling off as the timer goes off behind me like a cool dude, lol.
the big problem is that most mage kits can be summed up to "fish with cc spell, then press all ur buttons in a straight line"
it's fun to shoot all cannons but that's also very repetitive and not very skillfull. someone like lux doesn't really need to land her e and ult, she only has to land her q. same for ahri, you only have to land charm. etc.
and most mages are defined by their specific mix of dmg and cc vs aoe. it's not even utility, very few mids have any shields, let alone anything more interesting.
and they could be really cool cos utility scaling has been opened up since s3 and unfortunately kind of forgotten about it, but that could be a thing.
but mostly just be more creative
i want more tfs and more oris
so tl;dr
- less linear hard cc
- less burst, more consistent dmg
- utility scaling
- more unique utility (tf ult, lizzy self ult, syndra w)

I hope they turn Cass into a DPS mage again. Let Brand be the AoE DoT mage.
Lux would be really cool
if they went with her original W.
What if there are utility skills that unlocked new effects after reaching certain amounts of AP?
Lux would be really cool
and utterly broken

Someone is gonna get slammed, hard. poor wukong
i think unlocking effects on ap numbers is an interesting idea but i dunno if i'd make that a class-wide thing. as a class-wide thing i just want more utility scaling overall. not every spell, but i'd like to see the ori w speed/slow get stronger with ap.
also i'd like to see an item that kind of extends range/aoe of spells. that'd be kind of broken tho, but i want that
and yea original lux w, man, that was a freaking cool spell
I hope they find something cool for Vel'koz. I like feeling like the boss of a danmaku game. Lots of people on the board seem to think his W is meh but I think it actually interlocks really well with his Q pattern to cover a lot of space (and having two charges is a big deal). His E is the really blah spell.
New Vel E: cast it targeting a skillshot you already cast with Q or W and it fires a starburst around its current location.

nah that wukong is running stormraiders
I get top so I first time graves. I mean, why not? High win rate.
I get my ass camped by a rammus and some random mid roams and tps but I still destroy the game.
What a broken champ, holy shit. No-one even came close to my damage.
Just 3 shotting people with Auto-Q-R even though I was down in levels.

Ryze is gonna be the first champ to be removed from the game. They just can't get him right.
Too bad bc the machine gun spellcaster concept is great. They just need to give up on rune prison as an ability and give him something more dynamic or at least something that isn't so oppressive

Just cut the hyper carry tank bullshit out, make him squishy like Cassio
Man..khazix feels real nice with the new jump range. Now I'm not even sure I'd want to evolve E first anymore. The resets are still pretty huge though.
Played a nice game as him last night but couldn't carry. Went cleaver first. Probably should have stuck with ghostblade. It always felt like a good power spike.

God I miss teambuilder. Hate the shoutings for lanes in normals. So many childish disputes going on and no one goes for supps.
Luckily I main supp, but eh...
What a ridiculous statement.

Every person I've heard has been placed seemingly low this season. Maybe the new queue messed up with that?

No, that's how resets have been working for a while.

Isn't the trend that people get placed lower than they expect every season? If memory serves, there was a reddit thread for season 3 and 4 where people just said 'omg why did I get placed so low'.
holy shit the EU whining in that mobile app thread on reddit is legendary
and the windows phone whining

There are always people that get placed low every season, just like there are always people who get placed high every season. The ones that get placed lower than they thought are just more likely to talk or complain about it.
Ye I thought so but thought I'd check here to see if something weird was going on.
I'm not big on ranked so I'm k anyway.
Plus the MMR behind the placement records matters a lot. You could lose 4 in a row and have a bronze MMR and then win 2, lose 1, win 3 and probably end up placing a lot lower than you expect because your MMR would be low from those consecutive early losses. Compared to having 5/5 pattern of win/lose/win/lose you would stay around your soft reset MMR without big shifts one way or another.
Either way, it's not just your placements. Those first 50 or so games will give you the biggest swings as the system tries to gain confidence in your MMR. Don't sweat the initial placement as much as your overall performance in this early ranked season.

it kind of makes sense I guess because they're getting rid of it entirely yeah?

Getting rid of it because new champion select does a similar job.
However they haven't given us new champion select, so now we have nothing doing team builders job.
If new champ select was only down for a few hours it would be understandable, but it's been two days now.

Unfortunately the wider playerbase doesn't understand the logistics of why we test in NA and small regions before EUW/EUNE.
It's not a case of neglecting EU, it's just that the development team is in NA, so it's easier for a variety of reasons for the devs to fix issues on that server. They also usually pick a small server to go with it as any issues will affect a smaller number of players.
It will most likely be that way since there's just until Tuesday for a week to pass.

Plus the EU server should be much bigger than NA, right? Bigger stress means more testing and all that.

New passive: When in the jungle, vines from the jungle walls attack enemies marked with her Q.
New W Passive: three hit auto to regain a seed charge.
God, I pray that there are no more "X" hit passives for at least another couple of champs after Jhin. Since I started playing when Velkoz was released, over half of the champions had some form of "X" hit passive.
doesn't mean he'll keep the space aids as it is today
for instance it could be made to act a bit less random or whatever
i still think it's a shitty spell that needs to go, but so is everything about him
he should probably have something that interacts with the voidling dude idk
