played league after like three weeks, taliyah is actually really fun. she kind of feels like my kind of champion so i liked playing her a lot
that being said big issues with her usability, her w not being viktor e is weird, her ult having like three different cast modes is weird, and idk about how to go about building her

That's weird though, for sure.
Like..I don't think there's only 10 people playing within your range that you end up getting 4 golds and 5 plats.
Someone fucked up there~ Like, it might be a glitch in the algorithm, that going past 10 minutes just widens your net that big? ALWAYS HIT THE REQUEUE AFTER 5 MINUTES~ rule of thumb

Support Lulu buff/ solo lane lulu nerf? nice.
Zed.
Seems like a case of really low mmr then. It's really not strange that Gold 1 and Plat 5 players play against each other.
You won't get matched with gold players if you have diamond mmr. There's just no chance.
edit: so around P2/P1 mmr for regular games? All right then, that outlier game sounds like dynamic queue shenanigans.
Yeah, I might be at p1/p2 MMR but you gotta be an idiot to see that game and be like "oh yeah, just case a low mmr, this is perfectly fine.

isn't there a buffer from being demoted from one rank to another
Like, don't you get a 3-5 safety game net from being from Diamond>Plat? It's probably possible to tank your elo whilst being within that safety guard. Win 1, lose 2, repeat.

Only when you first get promoted, like every other division. There's no safety net after the initial few games. It would probably be possible to tank the mmr some way past the demotion limit by constantly demoting/promoting yourself, always winning your series 3-2 and losing while you have the safety net games.
It's not illogical when you don't provide context. It's more logical to assume you have bad mmr + dynamic queue grouping than that the riot gods punished you or that you got a glitch in the matchmaking.
Nah, every game you lose at zero lp tanks your elo and once you reach like p3 mmr you get demoted.
i had forgotten how much fun this game was, really
it's a nice change, i like extra utility
don't call ppl idiots
it's super possible that the system just straight up messed up but it's also possible you have low mmr and they have high mmr so u got matched together
it's not even that much of a mid lulu nerf

Primarily tank ekko got nerfed since he got higher scaling/lower base, AP ekko is about the same as before. Nerfs working as intended?

tank ekko is still pretty stupid when he snowballs
I've seen it happen. Usually I was on the side with the golds and some d5 duoing with a friend who was god awful and only gold due to that. Of course they put limits on it at some point, but it happened fairly frequently in like s3 or so, at least for me. Or a silver and a d5 or something equally dumb. Oh, the worst part was the d5 usually would defend their awful friend to the death, even if they were like 0-20 as a duo. Course most of these d5s were probably boosted, since a lot of them played worse than the average gold player so yeeeah.
Yeah, I mean it makes sense in duo situations but I was solo and now diamond has duo restrictions anyways.

wow they called kindred 'she'
designers regularly refer to kindred as a she
i've heard gypsylord do it a bunch of times at least
Oh it does? Haha.. oh man. They keep changing so stuff much, I can't even keep track of it anymore. I play my one ranked game every so often to keep my rank, but that's it. No desire to wait in queue for so long.

I thought so too but his win rate plummeted across the board so idk maybe part placebo like riot says happens often. Honestly the passive timing nerf is insanely noticeable in the jungle and makes his clears feel kinda bad early.
I see. He still seems to be quite strong, right? I still see bans.

6.13 tentative changes
Forbidden Idol items increases heals and shields, uh oh
RIP sneaky bot lane TP ganks
Forbidden Idol items increases heals and shields, uh oh
Actually AP Ekko got a bit of buff while they were trying to nerf the Tank Ekko, so you should be OK.

Wasn't this always the case with TP? Or am I misunderstanding. I thought that even if a ward was in the brush, if someone TPed to it you saw the particles.
Hmm, I should I have known that Kindred was/is indeed designed to be a high ceiling champ.
No wonder I struggled with her.
Great change to TP.

In case you guys are interested I interviewed xPeke about Origen and searching for a new ADC
... First game of promos to get back t o S1, as soon I enter lobby our Supp takes Smite and says he's going to split push all day after lane phase. Also he picks Teemo.
Teemo gets banned, so he picks Singed.
And no one dodges (naturally I couldn't due to promos).
... Lovely.
Edit: Oh he's not even going to support.
10:31 in enemy favour
12/1 Kha on enemy team
Team won't surrender. Waste of my time...
Eventually lost. Enemy team were all 2~3 levels higher than mine because of how much they got fed/Singed fed them.

I wish the passive on Ardent Censer applied on self-heals and shields.

Would it really make that much of a difference? I'm assuming here self-heals =/= LS?

First ranked game with Illaoi
That gank was at level 4 ... where the Mid AND Jg tried to gank me. Then around level 6 they did it again but it ended in a blood bash for em cause my team followed them.
When I think of Illaoi I think of her like Donger ... it's OK not to gank them unless they're low on mana and hp cause that shit kinda works in their favor a lot.

So I could build it on Udyr.
10% stronger shield and gives you 15% AS and 30 magic damage on-hit.
that's never healthy, imagine that on like swain or vlad or whatever.
not sure if i'm a fan of the ardent censer changes overall, i feel like further directing sustain supports towards beating u thru sustain instead of say the aggressive stuff that nami or sona can do (and to a degree soraka i guess) is kind of lame, i much rather something like a passive that got charges when u healed other ppl that when it reaches 100 it does like a mini ludens echo effect on ur next spell or something
something that promotes aggressive play
probably for the best i guess
the extra cast time is gonna be pretty big in competitive too i think
see i kind of like this, i want to see other games force riot to be less shitty about stuff
like charging money for champions
would be nice if league didn't have that bullshit
I don't think the PBE Lulu changes are beneficial to even support Lulu as a whole. Making her Q do 70% damage to targets after the first makes her a lot weaker in both lane and teamfights.
And 300 more gold on Forbidden Idol for slightly more impactful heals? Meh - I actually like the current version - it's mana regen and CDR for a really low price.
