League of Legends |OT11| going

You know they get a certain amount of money each year to be spent on other games? Unless things have changed since I heard about that.

Things have not changed on that! It's really helpful to learn how other games do things so you can inform some of your decisions and strategies, both in terms of what they do well and what they don't do well.

Ok Swain is so fucking dumb. He is now my perma ban instead of Zed. I went Mortal Reminder and we still couldn't kill him without 4 of us being on him.

Nice, against 3 man premade when everyone on my team is solo. Nice.

Think I'll cave and buy Overwatch in the next few weeks. Normally Blizzard games aren't my thing, but between the reviews, the cheap-ish price for a new release and my need to a quick-to-play FPS I think I may dive in.

Why can't Riot write something in their code that makes it literally impossible for solo queuers to be matched against premades if they themselves don't have a premade on their team?
 
that feel when you ask for swain and idiot blocks them instead of ekko

that feel when they proceed to die 15 times(!?)

that feel when your team is so butthurt that the mid spam adds you after ekko does what ekko do

Some idiots. I don't even care, that draven deserved the loss.
 
The first design they had for her, where worked ground affected all of her skills, and earthquake was a huge aoe, seems like it'd be more faithful to an earthbender concept. And it would make sense to have a built in limiter to her abilities.

Right now, her Q is neither here or there. Having the worked ground is just bad since her Q isn't all that strong. Total at 5 it does what, 400+%120 damage? And that's hitting all the rocks? For a skillshot that has a limiter like worked ground, it's just...extremely underwhelming.

It sucks. And earth mage should be cool and rock solid. But it's just..it bugs me.

to be fair i wasn't convinced by jhin's kit at first but now i really like it

but i'm just not seeing anything cohesive in taliyah's kit, it's just a hodgepodge of cool ideas that aren't fleshed out well enough

Yeah I love that game. Takes all the best from MOBAs (the characters) and leaves all the other crap behind (stuck with one character whole match, 50+ min matches, etc)

Blizzard plan is working. This casual gamer getting sucked in hard

Still will play LoL for weekend warrior though. But probably no time for ranked :(

WoO mama!
 
I wouldn't call Vlad buffed, but changed for sure. His skill set encourages actively engaging your opponent in lane in order to get the most of it, removing the whole 'Just Q and walk away' playstyle he previously had. Weaker in some ways, stronger in others
 
Just leave it and never put it on sale and just forget that it is even is a thing.
Fuck no, I bought this skin before her VU for a reason

No like actual buffs, he was buffed via hotfix like Swain

idk he's a champ i personally just find frustrating to play against

A slowdown AOE R would look cool on her like Thrall

So much in that video coulda been great.
That regen passive would have been so good.
ALL her skills interacting with the theme of worked and unworked ground.
No mine field.
Powerful mage like ult that cleared out worked ground so that she could follow up with other skill rotations after it.

Given what we have I would have prefered to have waited 6 months for that. Seeing how she's soo new and how much the guy who came up with her kit's design is so pleased and defensive of it I don't see them changing her in any big way.

Feel like they screwed her up worse than Illiolios. At least her janky kit has a back bone connecting all the parts that allows them to make her into something good and normal with enuff changes. I see that they were atleast testing out having a slow on her Q recently though they seem to have reverted that.

On a separate note, I'm loving Sion mid! I have never been such a "team player" before. I can drop a rott mid and roam without worrying about my tower being gone. I can ROAM because I'm not a caster like Vel (love playing Vel but until I get some good items I never leave my lane or go too far away from tower outta fear of some one droppin me) so if I run into trouble I can gtfo.

Hell, in a recnt game out Top Susan was getting stumped by a Gnar and even he didn't seem to understand how ... but I was doing good in lane so I'd gank for him and walk away to give him the kills cause I know how useful a fed Nasus is. And that helped him a ton. Playing any other mid I woulda just took the kills for myself cause fuck you, I gotta nuke people (that's IF I helped him).

Always wanted to get better at roaming.
