Don't know if this thread or the Championship thread in gaming is more important, but TDK, Renegades, and TIP are fucking dead.

Alex Ich might as well retire for good. Things never go well for him.

 

[Calvero]

of course i land on the last spot

lmao how'd I get an S

 

[Fuzzery]

You're wasting around 900 gold for buying AP, but the question is, how much do you value proccing Silver bolts every 2 hits?

I haven't seen a Vayne perform well yet this patch, but I imagine it can still be a good second/third item or so.

I've tried it, it does do pretty ridiculous damage, but the item is pricey and doesn't offer any mobility benefits either, so meh

 

[Envelope]

nu-rageblade feels weird on vayne but 12% true damage every second feels fun when you get it rolling

 

[Manus]

So went 17-3 as jungle Wu and had over 150 CS in less than 30 minutes and still only a S. What does it take to get that S+?

 

[Stone Ocean]

I'm not sure I dig the change torwards stacking mana as opposed to mana regen. Sure, I ge t the reasoning and the game is probably better off this way but I dunno, not enjoying running oom because I wasn't given blue.

I'm gonna go back to ADC aren't I?

 

[zkylon]

i don't even feel sorry for noot

rest are pretty good too

 

[Nekofrog]

wtf happening to my earnest elf tristana? the old splash was the best splash in the game

 

[Hard]

Tristana is cute. CUTE!

 

[Ghost is Bad]

is she supposed to be like a stripper

 

[Quonny]

Inconsistent ear size.

Pretty sure the game scales so it's easier to obtain an S Rank in Toplane than anywhere else. Me and Friend played yesterday and this was the outcome.

My Stats:

Mid
S- Rank
9/1/7 - 189 CS.

His Stats:

Top
S Rank.
7/1/7 - 189 CS

How can he have a higher rank than me when I literally did better / the same in every statistical way?

 

[Hard]

Because top lane = best lane

 

[Pendas]

Jungle is ridiculously hard to get an S Rank in, much less an S+. Only time I got an S+ was when I went mid 12/0/?? with 200+ CS at 25m.

 

[drawkcaB]

Because the ratings aren't just relative to other players in your specific match but relative to every single top lane performance. You played better than your mid, but you didn't play better than all other top laners.

I don't like the blood razor buff. The old Devourer users are mostly weak champions outside of the jungle. Buff them, not the item. Buffing the item only ensures that the likes of Jax, Aatrox, etc. in a solo lane will continue to suck.

LYTE HAS LEFT RIOT HALLELUJAH

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1soloo3

 

[Hard]

Hmmmm, I wonder why. I guess that vacation was more permanent than we thought.

 

[Quonny]

woo

we did it

we were so shitty to him that we caused him to quit

celebrate

 

[Bacon]

Who's the new scapegoat

 

[Stone Ocean]

Who's the new scapegoat

Time to blame everything on Ghostcrawler like the WoW people do!

 

[Nekofrog]

Who's the new scapegoat

highest ELO jungle main at riot

because it's always the jungler's fault

 

[zkylon]

woo

yea I don't see why this is motive of celebration

gj community, you're disgusting

He said he wanted something more challenging tho

Obv. The league community is a ghost of its former self

 

[Talents]

Maybe now there will be a chance for solo queue. One can dream.

 

[drawkcaB]

So we're going with the narrative that the community broke a grown man as opposed to, and I know this seems super unlikely, an employee at the world's most popular gaming developer and leading figure in his highly specified field across the entire industry received a substantial offer from another company.

 

[Hard]

Everybody tells me that it's so hard to make it
It's so hard to break yeah
There's no way to fake it
Everybody tells me that it's wrong what I'm feeling
And I shouldn't believe in
The dreams that I'm dreaming

I hear it every day
I hear it all the time
I'm never going to amount to much
But they're never going to change my mind, no

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Something I don't know, something I don't know
Something I don't know

 

[Envelope]

regardless of why he left, the "community" was still an ass to him for no justifiable reason

I will laugh if he shows up at either Blizzard or Valve.

 

[drawkcaB]

Overboard, yes. Not justifiable, no. Lyte had quite a few self-inflicted missteps along the way, both in initial action and follow-ups with the community.

(Which is fine, he's human like the rest of us)

I will laugh if he shows up at either Blizzard or Valve.

Nah. It's probably at some F2P outfit somewhere given his education and particular experiences.

 

[Newt]

I think I can finally be proud of Riot as a company now. Lyte is an ass, Riot won't be working with him anymore.

If you guys think anything is gonna change now that Lyte is gone you're delusional lol

Solo Q is dead

 

[Newt]

Oh I've been wanting Lyte to resign far before dynamic queue was introduced.

i think the community collectively patting itself in the back for harassing him is pretty gross, yeah

Overboard, yes. Not justifiable, no. Lyte had quite a few self-inflicted missteps along the way, both in initial action and follow-ups with the community.

(Which is fine, he's human like the rest of us)

nope, nothing justifies harassment

Solo Q is dead

also yeah

 

[BreezyLimbo]

The funnier thing is that ranked is probably more toxic now than it was before Dynamic queue

 

[Newt]

Lyte didn't really make the community less toxic, he mostly just made it more passive aggressive lol. You only really get banned for being toxic in chat after all.

Having some stupid opinions about a videogame does not mean you get to be harassed about personal stuff like his fianceé

I hated Lyte's philosophy as much as the next guy but don't go saying that kind of childish vitriol is justifiable.

 

[drawkcaB]

Harassment isn't synonymous with being an ass. Shocking in this day and age, I know.

You and zkylon actually enjoy ignoring "overboard, yes" to score moral high ground victory points or is it just out of habit nowadays?

Please enlighten me about where I wrote that harassing his fiance was ok? Come on now, I'm on pins and needles here.

 

[Quonny]

The way you phased your first two statements is confusing.

"Overboard, yes. Not justifiable, no."

You used a double negative to say it was both overboard and justifiable.

 

[Black-Wind]

Holy hell.

I just played Cho with warlords and the new RoA (I always played him with the new tear before now).

Took warlords cause I figured that a ranged match up (Ziggs) wouldn't let me dot them with DFT from my E and I also thought "He's gonna push the wave hard and poke a ton, I can leave E on and just life steal the creeps as I farm".

That's such a powerful combo! Once you start building the RoA you get mana back from being poked and health back from using spells ... and you get health back from hitting creeps with warlords ... and you get mana back from killing them with your passive (with health) and your Ring.

I didn't die once

 

[Calvero]

rest are pretty good too

ahhhhh i love Tristana

EDIT - wait a sec, Warlords gives lifesteal? What the shit? I thought it only boosted your existing lifesteal by a percentage?

 

[Sammyroc]

Warlords only works on Lifesteal, not on heals. It does absolutely nothing for Cho lol

EDIT - wait a sec, Warlords gives lifesteal? What the shit? I thought it only increased your lifesteal by a percentage?

That's what I thought, but apparently it actually gives you lifesteal and just increases as your health gets lower.

 

[clemenx]

Tristana's fingers are freaking me out for some reason.

when the team is too heavy

p.s. veigar is fucking ridiculous now, he had over 500 ap 20 minutes in wtf

Lifesteal on an ap build hardly heals you at all. The sustain you were getting was probably 95% Cho's passive which does keep you super healthy. You were probably getting like 3-4 Hp per auto on the minions from warlords but 40-50 from the Cho passive

Thunderlords probably woulda done work for you

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Lifesteal on an ap build hardly heals you at all. The sustain you were getting good was probably 95% Cho's passive which does keep you super healthy. You were probably getting like 3-4 Hp per auto on the minions from warlords but 40-50 from the Cho passive

Yeah.

His passive is incredibly powerful, it lets you out sustain in lane almost anything short of a 30% lifestealing ADC.

I swear at high diamond level, every time someone does bad, they're accused on wintrading. The other team just had a kindred who didn't do so well, and they were all accusing her. It was hilarious.
