The reason his winrate is shit is his high pickrate. Typically a high pickrate should coincide with a lower winrate.

Yeah but I'm still gonna play Lucian because it feels so good to team fight with Lucian.
I played an ARAM yesterday where I convinced an enemy to go onto our fountain when they were clearly going to win. Then we respawned and saved our Nexus and went on to win the game. It was hilarious because I don't think that has ever worked for me before. It's just an ARAM though so no one on the enemy team was salty about it in post game.
Good.
I'm just salty about a game that got turned around by one teamfight where I got caught by parallel convergence. I don't think they actually need to nerf Jungle ekko, just his tanky top laner friend.
Haha, I remember back even when she was completely OP and could stack her Q off a single W and people still didn't play her.
I guess nobody likes to play utility ADCs.
I do.
Glad to see you embrace the ashe love
She's my most played adc and has a 78% winrate for me. The utility is what does it. Vision, CC, initiation.
u fukin wot m8?
He's so good, you can basically solo carry games as long as your team just act as meat shields and you're not behind.
Well as someone who plays Sona, he is a terrible champ to support and, as I said, most of the people who use him can't even use his ult properly, at least in my ELO.
People complain about Vayne players, Lucian players are even more vile.

Tbh i hate sona support, give me a ali threash blitz. Then like a soraka or janna i like tanky supports better than peel supports.
I dont play that much adc, but still during mid and late game give me anyone else and im happy.

Played 7 ranked games today after a month of not playing.
Can't believe I'm saying this but Riven fucking sucks right now. This meta is the bane of a Riven player especially armor stacking.
Played 3 Riven games and 2 games were lost so horribly that it almost tilted me. Games like 0/8/1 whew. Only way I won was... Surprise! build tank. ON RIVEN.
Rest of the games were super easy wins using Renekton and Irelia. Both were fine because they can naturally build tanky after a few core items and still dish out some considerable damage. Not to mention their excellent diving capability.
Oh and fuck jhin and his bouncy shit. That shit deals tons of damage.

Yeah, I totally get you. I am starting to play a bit more Janna and Morgana, but I am used to Sona so much now, its hard to not play her atm for me.
Also she can be deadly when the ADC I am supporting have some form of CC, which the likes of Lucian and Vayne lack.

Yeah riven is not in a super great spot right now because it is tank meta, and the change to last whisper.
Vayne and luc got some CC, more than others like sivir and ez before iceborn.
Vaynes condemn is good if you are smart about using it.

Riven is garbage because tanks are super strong in lane right now and then just scale incredibly better than her.
Speaking of which

I should feel dirty but I don't even care anymore.

Poppy is annoying to play against, also i need to pick up olaf they are buffing him on PBE which is odd to mean but i will take it. I need another tank jg to play.
I already have grag. I think grag has one of my favorite ults in the game it is so much fun to use.
I'd rather they have done the "divers" class first. They need more help. Assassins still assassinate. Divers have been displaced by various bruisers and tanks.
I haven't played in two weeks. I'm just so tired by the time evening rolls around I can't muster the energy to play.
Even with the nerfs I want to put in more time with jungle Poppy.
Stone Ocean

Yeah about that...
She's still unkillable and puts out ridiculous damage but at least she's not dashing onto adcs from their max aa range anymore

What even classifies as a diver these days? There's Panth, the obvious one, and then what else? Noc? Xin?
Honestly I dunno if there's even a place for that kind of champion in this game. "Assassin bruisers" will just never work.
Mostmanlyman
Member
Yeah i agree with that.
Yi and olaf would also work.

Vi, Diana, Wukong.
Pretty much think of any champ with a way to dive into a fight and no way to jump out right after.
You can wreck most melee tops with Kayle lol
Xin, Irelia, and Aatrox were definitely mentioned. My memory is foggy but I think Renekton and Nocturne was mentioned as well. Can probably lump in the likes of Jax and Wukong.
Anyways, that's why I want them to do the class next instead of assassins. They're all so samey. They're mostly ball is stats, basic mechanically, their play patterns for the most part aren't the same, etc.

Oh yeah. Paging files can definitely cause issues. Had that happen to me with battlefield 4. Best to let windows manage it.
At least you have a new CPU!
Yeah, I'll get better performance in general with the CPU. It was still a good deal.
bad boko
If you're going to take my ideas and run with them Riot you may as well hire me. Get me out of this oil & gas game and put me in the RP game.

Diana isn't an assassin though.
She's a AP diver/ fighter who can build to be more one shot-ish. She can jump in on an enemy like and assassin, that's kinda how divers go in, but she can't jump out where as champs like Kat/ Talon/ Zed and such all have some kinda way to jump out of a fight. She has a reset ... only on her R and only if used after a skill shot has marked the target.
She's also tankier than assassins (she's not "Tanky" just surprisingly tankier than what people seem to expect from what I can tell. Yas players in normals will just try to sit on my Diana and be shocked when they aren't bursting her down).
Plus, iirc, a Riot person listed Diana along side Vi and Leona as dive champs. They jump in and don't really have a way out.

Nah she is way more of an assassin than diver. Assassins dont need to have an escape like talon. Her W gives her tank but she is not building tanky damage like a tank fizz vi xin or tank akali. You build her straight AP so you can 1 shot the back line.
When i think of AP fighters i think of like rumble.

A piece of me dies every time I realise I'm supporting a Vayne.
lol
I don't mind her, as long as its not Lucian, I am fine with it.
Although supporting Jinn is kind of difficult but I don't mind.

I personally wouldn't mind dynamic queue if it stopped forcing secondary support players into a permanent support role and placed premades against other premades.
2 of my last 10 games have been for my primary role. God bless this new system. I got mid more often in the old first come first serve system.

tl;dr
Sandbox eventuallyTM
Dynamic queue is gonna get improved
Not a fan of this type of vague messaging but eh, better than nothing.
tldr:
- sandbox mode: there's gonna be a sandbox mode someday but it's really really really far away
- solo queue: they want to make the solo queue experience inside of dynamic queue better, and then see where it goes from there. ideally a second queue won't be necessary
not much, really
kind of disappointed about sandbox mode, when i read the title i thought they were at least gonna announce they were working on it
edit: dang
honestly i think they're not being purposely vague but they just don't really have much info to give
which makes this blogpost kind of useless, really, but yea i guess it's better than nothing
i just want sandbox mode so i can practice charm flash or shurima shuffles, how hard can it be to do a 90% cdr custom mode. even if some champions break it's a start

I wish Riot would just use URF as a temporary sandbox solution. Add a custom game version of it with no cooldowns and vs bots only and leave it at that.
Also I wonder how Riot plans to improve the solo vs premade experience.

I was against doing that kind of thing before but at this point this is probably the only way to fix the high elo issues.
