They're not though. All male yordles look like hamsters and all female yordles look like little trolls with furry ears. Riot basically took Ziggs and Lulu as templates and started normalizing old champions starting with Heimer.

Seeing as how I just saw Taliyah's ult in use, even though it's like Sol's E, it has additional use in that you can actually cut off your enemies path with an actual physical wall. I like that idea but that's just me. Dude ulted and cut off their jungle path and thus couldn't run to base while the side path to their tower was cut off by his allies. Fun stuff.
I didn't get this reading the descriptions and watching the videos. I agree that the weakening rock blast seems iffy, but the ultimate has some good utility.
- The wall is much different from Anivia's because it's longrange and shoots straight from Taliyah.
- The flight is different from Sol because it's fast and doesn't go through walls (I think?).
- The ultimate allows you to very quickly travel from one lane to another. In particular, you could go from mid to top, blocking the top laner's retreat path with your wall, jumping off early to engage. It's a neat combination of mobility, area control, and enemy separation -- if you wall a tank away from their team, you could split a teamfight.
I do like the knockup / directional knock ability. I think the synergy is there too because you can knock enemies into the rocks, or use the rocks as area control. If you ult behind an enemy, you could area control the wall area if they try to jump back.

Just play anivia then and get to do it on a shorter cooldown
all i'm saying is
lulu is the best, poppy is also the best
whatever had to be done was worth it

The wall does go through...other walls.
And on a 3 minute cooldown at level 6(2 minutes at 16), and seeing as how the stronger mid champions are those with dashes, not to mention flash, her ultimate being a long wall isn't all that great. In a teamfight, who cares how long that wall is.
Yes, there is a possibility that there will be clutch walls that separate the enemy team, but it's just not a great ultimate. It's a glorified Anivia wall. Which is also instantaneous compared to the travel time of her wall.
It's not a great ult. Not a great skill in a kit with already weak synergy.

Nah bard mid is the mid laner to troll you teammates.
Anivia can't wall that much space until later levels, Anivia can't do the same wall angle as far as I know, and Anivia sure can't get to the lane as quickly.
If cooldowns are questionable in PBE, that's what PBE is for, and Riot has time to boost them.
It's probably better that she start weak than release very strong at max price.

Love new champ design and art. Q is cool. W is cool. E looks cheap--and I mean cheap in that it looks poorly animated or something. It just looks off. Like the way all the rocks look in the ground before they explode is like something from RPG Maker 95. The ult I'm not one way or other on.
How can you not like this though? Really dig her look.

Her ult CD at rank 1 is 150 seconds though, so .. there's that. Also yea, Anivia can't wall that much and at that angle.

The splash covering the whole client is such a meaningless thing yet I love it so much
this is a huge anivia wall on top of a really fast global dash
i like it cos both uses are really different and you'll be generally doing just one but they can also mix together and you can block them off from following you or block them into your team
i'm guessing she'll be building roa or something, a bit tankier than standard mages
personally i think it's a bit much and i'd prefer something more subtle but can't deny it looks dope as fuck
yeah, it's great

Doesn't do any damage
Doesn't seem to stun or knock up
very lackluster
I bet trumps wall would be stronger than it
Yeah...
The last 2 champion ults seem really lame...
Don't get me wrong though. I can see how her ult can be used in team fights well and all but man.... it just doesn't feel or look like an ult.
I feel like the crater making+rock throwing skill is an ult worthy skill. It has so much OOMPH in it. Don't know why they didn't make that skill an ult. Just slap on some more damage on it and have the crater thing feel like a trundle W while it's still up. Maybe activate her passive while inside the crater. Would have been awesome.
Surfing around and making a wall is just underwhelming to me.

And there is no synergy in her kit.
I'll concede that despite Aurelions underwhelming kit, atleast there's synergy. Atleast it makes sense. 'Ok Sol pukes out galaxies and shit and that stuns people.' It makes sense and works together.

I used to really dislike Sol's ult--mostly in terms of its graphics. Boring as shit, especially for a STAR DRAGON. But I have grown to love Sol, even more than my prized Vel'Koz. He is an absolute monster, and of my last 14 ranked games played as Sol, I've won 11 of them.
Yeah probably one of the more underplayed champs in the game rn
I would say he's the most but nobody plays some of the strongest junglers bc they boring af
There's nothing underwhelming about Aurelion Sol.
That people don't like his gameplay is a different thing. People are always going to prefer champions where you can pull off flashy plays and feel like Faker.
It is pretty weird and kind of a middle finger to a lot of people that they gave a kit that wasn't going to be popular to the super hyped Dragon champion. But I personally love him.

Why they don't just have her immediately ride the wall on cast? Double R seems weird especially since you can decide when you want to get off the wall.

You know what would be hilarious
If at any point a Taliyah does this clutch play of cutting the enemy team in half
But she lands on the wrong side with all the stronger enemies, cut off from her team.
That would be hilarious.
wow that was sexy
Very slick. The client right now is clunky and unresponsive a lot of the time when selecting a champion but that was smooth as butter.

So edgy
I cut myself
it's so weird that they made it like "the big 6" mages and the minor changes when someone like velkoz didn't change at all and swain q is really different and viktor got a ton of changes and whatnot
i feel like velkoz should be demoted lol
because you might just want to block off somewhere without following up

Noone said that though.
A large portion of the community have the same opinion about the ult. It doesn't feel like an ult skill. Feels like something you would spam on Q or use as utility on E. It's a line skill shot burst that knock backs. Nothing about that is remotely ult worthy when you compare it to other league champ.
I have the same feeling towards the new champ.

But the thing is it doesn't feel like an ultimate.
Like, Singed. Used on himself, increases regen and speed. That's it. But it feels great to use. It synergizes with his other skills. It's fun to use, even.
Heimerdinger. Again, used on himself, increases the power of another skill. A boring ultimate for sure, but because of that synergy, because of how it operates, it's a great skill and thematically fitting.
It's not about making the ultimate the most important part of the kit. Alot of times some of the best ultimates aren't the ones that are the most important, but the ones that feel good to use. Singed's ult feels good to use. Heimers ult feels good to use.
Likewise, someone like Amumu, one of their most important skills is their ult. But the difference between him and Sol's ult is that Amumus feels good and fits with the character.
That's the issue that I personally have with Sol's ult, and to an extent Taliyahs ult from the videos I've seen. They just don't look great. Sol's doesn't feel great, and I'm sure that when Tali comes out, it won't feel great either.
Another ranked loss. That makes 9 in a row. If it isn't being matched up with people outside of my league or shitty silvers that don't group and think they're splitpush bosses, I lose all game. Even when I win lane I can't fucking win. I'm so sick of this shit.
I didn't want to post this the last time you posted this complaint, but I looked through your match history and really, your matchups aren't that insane. You mentioned plats, there are no plats. There was one game with an unranked, but he went even and did the most damage on the team. The lowest anyone is is Silver 3, and lets be real, the difference in Gold 5 and Silver 2 is minimal.
I dunno. Complain about dynamic queue and the premades if you want (which might be in your games, I dunno, not digging that far), but your matches really aren't unfair from an ELO/MMR viewpoint.
I might've seen previous season plats then.
What do you mean, Vel'Koz didn't change at all?
- His passive now has an AP ratio
- His Q now refunds some mana for unit kills
- His W had ratio nerfs
- His E had a ratio nerf
- His R does true damage on combo'd enemies and has a bigger AP ratio.
Pretty much sums up my opinions about him.
10 losses. Amazing.
EDIT: I literally don't get what I'm doing wrong. I'm grouping. It's not like I"m losing lane every single game. I'm winning lane and I'm still losing because of grouping or teamfight sitautions. I literally don't know what the fuck to do. These 10 losses in a row are extremely demoralizing. It's not like I suddnely got shitty. I've had like 8 game win streaks before but before this loss streak I had 8 ranked losses in a row basically. Like... am I just getting unlucky that many times in a row getting paired with silver fucktards?

Damn. That is rough. I had a ton of losses in a row, and I finally tried a new champion out. My prospects have turned around completely since my change.
