Isn't Mundo notoriously hard to balance since he scales so well with just health?

i think mundo is generally a problematic champion because he has few ways of "fucking up"

say someone like ahri that isn't too difficult to play still has a lot of aspects to her that are difficult and encourage mastery: you have to keep track of her passive for sustain, you have skillshots, lots of gated mobility, she's squishy and her ultimate is actually on a pretty big cooldown.

she's not leblanc but she's easier to balance and generally feels fairer to play because she has all those ways in which she can just screw up that you can take advantage of. you can flash her charm, force her ult, instagib her if u cc her, etc.

mundo is just a beefy guy that runs straight at you and murders you if he got close enough and he passed the stat check

it's hard to balance a champion like that and i think rito will eventually do a rework for him. they'll probably bundle it up with a visual update cos he looks ugly as shit, but i could see him getting a fairly big rework that keeps only his q and ult.

I like the master one but the gold one is the second best indeed

gold just has a nice set of colors and it just looks elegant

I mean, at least it's nice that they want to get away from the AP bruiser aspect of Ekko, but I doubt Riot will be looking at making Ekko jungle any more viable than it is now.

idk what rito has planned to do with him, i think they're looking to make him more of a riven esque champion than leblanc, but idk how that works on an ap champ

Im like probably 30 away from getting them all.

nice

i have like 50 champions missing

don't want any of em

Pre-finals orchestral theme for Worlds is out

Less than three weeks to go

currently listening to Worlds Collide on repeat

LET'S FUCKING GO BOYS WORLDS HYPE BEGINS

worlds collide was the best

warriors was fine but it had nothing on worlds collide

this 2016 theme sounds really cool and very much in line with worlds collide so i approve

i don't want emo in my pro league, i want epicness and celebration

btw has anyone posted legends rising ep 1 yet?

Who are we expecting for the Halloween skins? I'm kind of excited for it. There's usually 3, right?

I still want to get my Nocturne skin. :T

it varies from time to time, but i think 3 is a safe bet

i hope they do a viktor or taliyah skin, they're my only skinless mids

(and i guess azir, but i'll play azir when riot figures out what to do with him)

 

[killatopak]

Okay last time I'll post my YT here for a while but I'm very excited about this: I got Leona un-nerfed!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKIzDJ6DViM

I didn't play Leona at all on ranked this season so this is news to me. I didn't know they removed that. Glad it's back.

 

[nbraun80]

I know, I just said that it looks like one. It's really the only skin I love from her. Since Hextech doesn't exist to me, because I'll never be able to get it.

Reverse annie is best annie.

 

[zkylon]

man that legends rising ep is such a bummer

i feel so bad for rekkles, fnatic is such a fun team when they're good, it's hard to root against them

 

[Reivaxe]

add either lubricatedowl69 or karma poiice

KK, sent to lubricatedowl69

 

[Duress]

I'm not even spending IP any more. I just like the giant number in the corner.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Just hoarding IP right now since runes are so expensive.

 

[killatopak]

I still need 42 champs to complete them all. I'm pretty much good for the runes other than needing some very specific runes like CDR per level quints, gold per level or mana regen that only a handful of champs use.

I need exactly 31 champs to complete my collection.

 

[Ken]

i need 8 champs but i'll never buy gragas or zilean

 

[SenorArdilla]

450 IP Champs: ALL
1350 IP Champs: ALL
3150 IP Champs: ALL
4800 IP Champs: ALL
6300 IP Champs: ALL

Makes me wish that chests for S-Ranks weren't time-locked.

How does Ryze's smart/ quick casting thing work?

Like, I FEEL like it should work like Karthus Q or Cass's E in that all you have to do is hover the enemy you wanna use the spell on and press the skill. But it seems like hovering isn't enuff, you still have to click on them :/

well it works like normal for me. just hover and press skill

Yeah, just tried it in a custom and it worked fine.

IDK what happened that one single time I played him some weeks ago

Do you ever switch the smartcast toggle for different champs? There's some champs where I don't use it and then forget to change it back.

I only really play Illaoi these days and for her I smartcast Q and W.
But yeah, if I'm playing something that needs more or less smartcasting I make sure to fix that when the game starts. (Like Vel or Diana. Can't smartcast that Q)

Would be cool if the game remembered smartcast setting for champs like they do item sets :I

I think this is the first quote from you, Zky. I'm worthy. ;____;

What could they even do with Taliyah? I'm thinking mostly on the wall/board. Or, maybe that's too much for a Halloween skin, I dunno. Lol

Reverse annie is best annie.

Reverse Annie is worst Annie. Reverse Tibbers is best Tibbers though.

i need 8 champs but i'll never buy gragas or zilean

Why is that?

 

[Ken]

cuz they're old and smelly

 

[drawkcaB]

Has jungle suddenly become super popular or some shit? If I queue jungle/whatever at any point past 9pm I will not be getting it. Actually, I did have it once tonight in champ select. But the I saw Taric mid and support Teemo and I noped the fuck out of that game before it started.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Ken pls

What if they became your best champs?

Are you sure they weren't just picking characters for each other than switching? :V

Even if they were the idea of playing with mid Teemo isn't going to make me stay either.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Zilean seems kind of lame for a time mage.

 

[Fallen_Hero]

Yooo, what happened to the Mumble server?

 

[Troubled Bat]

Even if they were the idea of playing with mid Teemo isn't going to make me stay either.

I don't see the issue. :V

Zilean seems kind of lame for a time mage.

Honestly, he is pretty lame considering what he is.

I do love the pocket experience though.

 

[SenorArdilla]

I guess JG Kog'Maw is going away too now that you don't have that extra AS to help proc the Krug stun.

 

[Reivaxe]

Did not expect a team of 3 ADCs and a immobile mage to do so well vs such a "by the numbers" comp.

But I guess it worked in our favor cause I could just chill by my team of lovely targets and bash anyone who tried to engage on us.

Only noticed at level 2 that I shoulda taken SRS instead of DFT. Oh well.

EDIT- And you gotta love when people just refuse to do logical stuff. We aced them without suffering a death, everyone is decently healthy ... I ping Baron but this team of 3 ADCs decided to dick around with M Drake :/

EDIT P2- I think I'm gonna try getting gud with Annie, Cass and Kass. Would really like to enjoy playing more than just Illaoi (I love Sion but I feel like he has the problem of post nerf Poppy. If you build full tank you're putting all your hopes and dreams on your carry champs. Plus currently the meta favors the dashy dash annoying tops that like to jump outta your skill shots. IDK if Poppy is the same way but I feel like building any DMG item on him only works if you're ahead or in the JG where you don't have to be bothered with fighting someone solo all the time cause it delays his tank items. Gonna keep as my pocket pick though)

Wanna try those 3 cause they have a combo of AP/ CC/ Burst/ DOT and mobility that scales well into late game and I think would be fun to play with that diversity (until the ASN rework comes and dicks up everything)

Hell, might toss Darius in there to. He seems easy as balls to play and it would be cool to have another AD melee champ other than Illaoi.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Riot has officially called Kindred a she, checkmate da

 

[PhillipCostigan]

brb gonna send a strongly worded email

 

[SenorArdilla]

Need a Reverse Kindred skin with Wolf doing the shooting to rectify this.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

in promos to silver 1. Well I think silver 1.

I'm silver 2 and everyone in my games is gold 3 minimum, usually 2 high gold and 2 plats on my team. Wonder if I'll skip straight to gold

I'm 13-9 in raked with a high MMR. Might be a chance.

 

[Xeilyn]

Yorick feels pretty good, ive only played him in normal draft though but ive felt almost untouchable so far in lane. I did play Irelia into a Yorick though and i dominated aslong as i could Q minions to escape

Also, Yay or nay for Sweetheart Annie? The splash is great but ingame it looks rather lame with the normal spell effects but 375 rp is basically nothing

 

[Envelope]

good to know shyvana is still busted zzzz

 

[PhillipCostigan]

lol then I go up against a gold 1 riven main with ignite and get shit on

 

[zkylon]

semi nsfw i guess but it's saturday soooo

I think this is the first quote from you, Zky. I'm worthy. ;____;

lol wth -__-

oh no idea

i just want a skin for her

her base is great but she deserves a cool skin after they botched that freljord one lol

Zilean seems kind of lame for a time mage.

you think?

i think a smaller rework would look cool for him, but an ancient looking guy with a giant clock strapped on his back looks really cool to me

it just needs to look like he's powerful and magical instead of a goofy old dude throwing clockwork as his basic attack lol

sweetheart annie is for perverts

so yes

Oh right, perfect. Bought

 

[clemenx]

I roll with Panda Annie and Reverse Annie, can't go wrong with either of them.

Panda Annie is super well done and polished but there's an unbeatable charm Reverse Annie has.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Shame that Panda and Hextech are the only ones with a recall animation.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

I might need a new carry top. Feeling pretty hard to 1 v 9 as Swain these days even if I win lane.

 

[Envelope]

i lost a game as kindred even though i had #stacks and was doing well and now i feel sad and want to try a new carryhard jg champ, should i go for rengo or k6

 

[Stone Ocean]

Reksai

Rengar is garbage, Kha is all right

You want to carry hard, you pick RekSai or Zac

pantheon

 

[SenorArdilla]

Pick'Em seems nice. Who do you think is going to win?

 

[Ken]

Pantheon needs a visual update

 

[zkylon]

Pick'Em seems nice. Who do you think is going to win?

hard to tell, but i'm rooting for rox or edg/rng

i love faker and would be happy if skt won but rox is such a likeable team and i also would love to see china win worlds once, specially if it's uzi that wins (and uzi playing with mata? how epic is that?)

for the group stages, i'm hoping ambition will make it out of groups but i think tsm is gonna be tough for them.

like, they beat kt which i'd say is a better team than tsm but you can't be too sure about samsung

 

[Envelope]

i don't care who wins as long as it's not SKT

 

[zkylon]

Pantheon needs a visual update

yea he does

honestly i kind of hope they give leona and diana minor vu's as well

just like create a more consistent and interesting look for targon peeps

 

[Troubled Bat]

lol wth -__-


oh no idea

i just want a skin for her

Don't you know, Zky? You're my favorite waifu. :3

Hah, I can agree with you on that skins. I was pretty let down on it.

Just give us Pool Party Taliyah, where she rides a surfboard for her passive and whatnot.

Pantheon needs a visual update

I hate his big ass feet, same goes for Morde.
