Support NeoGAF

[Troubled Bat]

When's the League fighting game though?

 

[Orochinagis]

That new champ, I hope he is a supp

 

[Peanut Butter]

gotta say i love how hard riot has been going lately for the whimsical side of league

champions like bard, aurelion sol, tahm kench, kled and even taliyah and the taric rework all are pretty light hearted and fun and feel like they belong to a world that's just magical and cool

and somehow you can have nu yorick and he still looks like he fits

i really want league to expand this universe

I agree, but I'd take Kled off of that list. Light-hearted and whimsical are the last things I'd use to describe that champion haha

 

[clemenx]

I love Kled's whole character but I ended up not liking him a shame.


Poppy for me encapsulates the "go HAM all the time" gameplay a lot better.

well he might be loud and mean but he's pretty cartoonish compared to the edgelord days of zed, syndra, darius and elise and co.

I like the risk/reward aspect of kled, you can risk it going ham when you're the most vulnerable as your opponent thinks they got you and BAMF! Skaarl is back and now you've a massive advantage.

Of course this might lead sometimes to your death one frame from remounting.

Agreed, he's pretty much the caricature of psychotic redneck/hillbilly.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Yeah, he's a crazy old man and it shows in his animations. His dismounted running animation when going torwards champions is hilarious.

 

[Sr Kitsune]

So he's a treant, just like I said.

Gonna make wild claims-
One of Ivans skills will root enemies from a distance.
When he is in the jungle, he creates bush all around it that creates a fog of war
He will be able to 'charm' pets into following him

Agree on the first two.

I believe he will root, silence and create bush around an area denying vision to enemies outside of it. So yeah, walls for vision, lol.

I wish

 

[Reivaxe]

Was wondering if I should try to pick up TF so I looked up some info on him.

Wondering why he has so much AD scaling if he's played ap ..

 

[clemenx]

That's because AD TF is secretely the best build in the game.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Better be for warwick.

 

[zkylon]

i mean, yorick is pretty edgy so rito's far from running out of it, but as long as it's not all edgy i'm cool

i want a vibrant, colorful world that can also support dark undertones and scary shit

that's the whole point of the league universe, that it's so loosely defined that it can be just about anything

also

i don't get those subtitles lol

 

[Stone Ocean]

It's one of her quotes

 

[jerd]

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the AD scaling on his W is just indicating that his total AD is being converted to magic damage. So really he doesn't have any AD scaling at all since it's just an attack modifier

 

[Stone Ocean]

Yeah, that's correct. That's just the skill's way of saying "you're going to do the normal auto attack damage as well"

Quite a few old champs have AD and AP scaling. In some instances it was to give those particular champions more variety in their builds. It ended up being problematic and Riot dumped the concept of hybrid scaling champions quite a few years ago.

EDIT: in the case of TF it's definitely what jerd said.

 

[Newt]

Ohh give me an edgy ADC.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Ohh give me an edgy ADC.

An adc that throws knives. Hmmm.

 

[Envelope]

Ohh give me an edgy ADC.

uh you just got jhin

 

[BreezyLimbo]

uh you just got jhin

Jhin is a beautiful man

back off!?

 

[Envelope]

Jhin is a beautiful man

back off!?

just because he ended up being fantastic doesn't mean he isn't 100% edgelord material :^)

 

[BreezyLimbo]

*Stabs you in the dick*

Back off!?

Seriously tho Jhin is the opposite of edgelord. He's a whimsical actor in the world of League. Stop smearing his good name.

 

[Luigi87]

So just lost two horrible games.

First was my team was just... holy crap.

20-1 by twenty minutes in (I was 1/1/0, everyone else was either 0/3/0 or 0/4/0)

Second match... failed jungle invasion, then botline dies and so our Blitz, only five minutes in, declares that he's done and proceeds to screw us over hard.

From one win away from G2 yesterday, to G3 6LP now...
I'm done with ranked for a bit I think.

 

[jerd]

Kalista is pretty damn edgy

But yeah a knife thrower would be cool too maybe with like a leather jacket

 

[Newt]

I played the shit outta Kalista and then Riot nerfed her to oblivion. She's def one of my favorite ADCs.

 

[Quonny]

Bringing back the classic.

Soon.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

We got recon teemo now.

 

[zkylon]

legends rising ep 3 is really good

clearlove is awesome

 

[Ghost is Bad]

clearlove is a straight up jerk; western teams get the chance to play him in tournament like twice a year and he picks joke characters. So BM

 

[Fallen_Hero]

I'll be there as well. We should actually set up a What's App or something like that for communication.

Meetup on Friday?

 

[Troubled Bat]

An adc that throws knives. Hmmm.

But yeah a knife thrower would be cool too maybe with like a leather jacket

..and they can stop time! That'd be cool.

Bringing back the classic.


Soon.

What is this? >.>

 

[SenorArdilla]

An adc that throws knives. Hmmm.

You mean Kat's dad?

 

[kayos90]

Meetup on Friday?

I'll be flying in Friday so this totally works. How about dinner? We can grab some food around 8? My flight gets in at 5 so acounting for traffic and checking in it might be a while. If not we can hang Saturday.

 

[Nekofrog]

skarner's nearing top pick now, huh? master/challenger pickrate is rising

 

[Kenai]

I'd love if the new champ were a support, but with the title "Friend of the Forest" and his comments about every single jungle creature, I feel like I'd be setting myself up for disappointment.

Speaking of disappointment, I haven't played ranked in several days due to dropping from Promos into G5 (and 1 win) all the way down to 0LP Silver 2 in about 4 days. Feels bad man.

 

[Calvero]

skarner's nearing top pick now, huh? master/challenger pickrate is rising

Skarner's early game is ridiculously good. He does his full jungle clear at full health, and his gankss are simple if you can land his E since you have the movement buff from W.

 

[killatopak]

Skarner has always been good. The problem is how he gets to mid game especially when he gets his trinity. TIming is important. Get that too late and you lose his mid game power spike. He had always been plagued with the earlier meta champs being far too strong in the early game. Now he can just sit back and farm and have a few ganks here and there and he'll reach his optimal mid game spike.

iirc last patches he had the highest win rate around 20 mins or something but gets lower if he gets the trinity late.

 

[Newt]

I've begun to ban Graves in every game I'm in. I really don't want that shit on my team, it feels really hard to carry.

 

[iModem]

I think Ivern's a supp >.>

https://youtu.be/ZrRE-LaRGh0

 

[Newt]

ioki huh. Name seems familiar. Did you change your GAF acc name or something?

 

[Troubled Bat]

iModem, stop lying to us, man.

 

[Ken]

what if their limbs were knives

and is a waifu

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Or a Knifu, if you will.

 

[killatopak]

My first ranked game in a month.


remaked. zzzz

 

[Leezard]

That's better than a 4v5 at least.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Or a Knifu, if you will.

...I can only imagine the hell that would bring.

 

[Dankul]

I should learn to follow my instinct and dodge more often. Got destroyed when bot lane chose Leblanc and Teemo with no one picking up exhaust. I was hoping that they were smurfs just messing around in a silver game.
