yeah, I do. Jinx main (sorry) but I've been branching out a bunch. I used to only play ADC but burned out and stopped playing for a couple of years.
Welcome to the thread. What server are you playing on?
how awesome is nami
So awesome.
That's like...4 shots though. It was funny on the MSI stream last night when someone said "they're going to oneshot whatever" and then had to follow up with "well oneshot is more of a technical term" or something, and "I mean, they're going to do a couple of spell rotations and then someone is going to die".

But I guess "8-10 shot" doesn't sound as dramatic. :p
Yeah, "oneshot" is not truly a oneshot in league. Only champs that could actually oneshot someone is old Nidalee and someone like Veigar.

That feel when you and top have a farm truce and you just farm all day

So good

Then our stupid zac had to gank top

pls share

maybe only a little bit, don't wanna annoy too much with overwatch stuff unless it's relevant to league in some way (things league could learn from overwatch) or just something that excites me enough to be worth posting. or some awesome crossover fanart.

i suspect zeronis will eventually draw tracer so that's my cue

gotta keep the thread on track, love!

(speaking of)

So awesome.
so very awesome

I haven't had a single game get to Elder Dragon yet.

Earth dragon is amazing though.
i've had one elder dragon but no rift heralds. elder dragon takes forever to kill, specially without your adc. it's really risky to do elder dragon, it's kinda like baron

also earth dragon is really good, on game 1 the enemy team had jungle malzahar (so broken) and he got 3 earth dragons

that was so brutal

I see.

Yeah, I had 3 earth dragons one game too. It's ridiculous how fast objectives go down. It's likely one of the best ones.

The most fun part of Zyra right now is that all the enemies I stomp on during laning phase go "Nice game riot, support deals more dmg than adc" without realizing Zyra did the same before the rework.

So I played 2 games last night and lost horribly. This new Mage update is giving me headache, I was playing support and their support were mages who got the updates.

Pissed me off. Because I don't know how to play against them.

Normals are absurd right now.

My team had a trundle mid, ryze top and riven jungle.

Their team had a teemo support and aerion Sol jungle.

I kind of just want to go back to ranked just to have some effort put in.

Takeaways from that game:

Brand is strong.
Riven jungle still doesn't work
Aureon Sol jungle still doesn't work but works better than riven jungle.
Teemo support is really bad

Got 1k IP saved for Talia. just need to farm 5k more.... ;(

This game was interesting. Their bot lane and jungler tried to level 2 kill us about 3 times. The first 2 times failed, and the third time (still at level 2) they tried to tower dive me and soraka. Kind of triple killed them without them getting a kill. They were so tilted.

We get mods again?

Zyra is ridiculous right now. I was playing Cait (me) / Zyra against Ashe / Sona, and she was just harassing that poor duo for days. I didn't even have to do much other than my usual farm / poke pattern. Just last hit and walk in to collect kills when they were low enough or my Rengar showed up to gank. Tremendously easy lane.

I wanted to try shit out but Udderwatch open beta starts todat. RIP

That's today? I'll have to give it a try on console since I play League on a laptop. Maybe I could get OW to work? It is a $2k laptop after all.

It was only against CPU but a player went to try Malz Jungle.
The spawning of his little voidlings remind me of Elise, and he can use them to avoid taking damage from camps.

Zyra totally counters Sona so that checks out. Sona' poke is very risky against hard CC champions such as Zyra and Morgana. Even the most passive Zyra player can easily a dominate a lane with an over aggressive Sona.

Man I do not like the jungle timers

Previous system was perfect imo, right balance of baseline info and skill-based knowledge
 
So my thoughts on new Swain-

He feels alot better during lane.
The new items really make him into something else.
Last nights game was the first time I really felt CDR being a hinder to my enjoyment of Swain~
His ultimate is good, but the little casting freeze when you turn it on is annoying.(Hopefully a bug).

Swain feels good right now. Could be built as a battle mage and be the front line, and thanks to the new items he succeeds in being able to do this. His Q is great for farming and it's good for harassing, as well as controlling the area. They mentioned Swain not feeling like a tactician, but with his Q being a little AoE that stays to an area, it lets you control the flow of an area by blocking enemies and telling them 'If you go through here, you'll take damage and be slowed'.

He's pretty great.

its cos the girls in overwatch are amazingly sexualised
would say they're no more sexualized than in league, which is still a lot, but it's not like worrying or anything

i'm interested if the game gets popular in korea, i would be really into watching koreans play overwatch, tho i'm not entirely sure if the game's deep enough to be really competitive. i think it's mostly for the quick respawns, which make it really fun for casual play but for competitive it doesn't seem great to watch

Because they don't have real porn over there.
well that's a shame

Roadhog art pls
gross

I see.

Yeah, I had 3 earth dragons one game too. It's ridiculous how fast objectives go down. It's likely one of the best ones.
yeah it's kinda funny seeing people be all dismissive of the fire dragon but at least my friends were all over the other 3

only played two games and i'm real rusty but i didn't feel super pressured to take dragons anyways. will have to see over more games

They haven't said anything about hotfix nerfs, just buffs for Cass, Swain and maybe Vlad. Malz is definitely getting nuked by next patch though.
i wonder if zyra is getting touched on. from the one game i played against her she didn't seem completely broken but she's really oppressive to play against (lots of things to track, her seeds, plants and her spells) and she shouldn't be able to solo baron. i feel like lowering the rate she spawns plants could be enough, idk, her dmg is def out of whack it feels

probably a good idea to nerf his jungling a bunch, he seems super op

i really hate the idea of his passive since it means he walks up to your lane and gets free damage on you and there's nothing you can do about it, but i can live with it if he has big tradeoffs elsewhere

I was so excited to play something new and interesting in the jungle last night, got jungle, then someone dodged. Next game, bot -_-

Nothing really new and different in the adc space this patch.

Maybe tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm kind of annoyed she got updated because she would outdamage the entire team before, AND she was hardly ever played or banned, and now Riot may nerf her into a worse-than-before state.

*edit* Same for Malz, he was usually decent but not played a ton in bronze/silver, and now I'm concerned he might become too bad. I haven't even seen how many voidlings he gets yet.

i mean, it's a second preseason, it was always gonna be really broken

that's not super troubling, gotta give it a few patches for dust to settle and crazy shit to get balanced

i wanna try out xerath, i really like the direction of his changes, making his q more fair and making the best part of his kit even better are both really good changes

also idk what to build anymore

i went roa morellos on syndra and it felt kind of alright, didn't really have mana issues and catalyst felt like a good laning item

i really don't like that launch skin, looks really washed out and i don't like the design

the lore stuff is cool i guess, but i'm not gonna read like 10 of those things, probably just gonna do azir, xerath, sivir and taliyah

also inquisitor skins are available
