Buffs cannot save Nunu.

nunu's already the go-to "i'm a piece of shit and after this game you will be too" champion
this change just makes it better

Ekko jungle and top have similar roles. A little damage into tank. I'm just musing that it's a little expensive to transplant to the jungle.
As if those masochistic shits deserve balance changes.

He needs a visual revamp before anything else. Nunu is such a damn ugly champion. His alt skins are almost as bad.
i don't see him a lot but every time i play someone else i kind of feel like i should have an easier time playing viktor instead
i guess i could say the same thing about malzahar or something but i liked playing viktor a lot more when he didn't feel so busted
yeah, basically
that's kind of depressing
ekko is a pretty alright champion when played ap, it's a pity riot can't properly balance out off builds
depends on who but morellos is a really good item
morellos+abyssal is a really good rush on pretty much everyone right now
another pbe week to go. i'm guessing ashe and jhin and twitch nerfs and kalista buffs
maybe some itemization stuff, idk, i feel like all that bfsword into hurricane stuff is kind of fishy, but i don't really know
maybe something for kogmaw, he's kind of op right? playing against him last night just reinforced my belief that kogmaw rework is the worst rework in all my time with league. like morde rework was really really bad but at least it was inventive and at least it made stupid a champion that was already stupid. new kog tho is like the least subtle most boring champion ever, it's not even a power thing, i just hate the idea of making a champion that rewards you for staying in place letting the numbers do the work for you
ughhh i hate him
?awww rito finally figured out jhin is too strong right now
((((

I think I may take a break and try the ADC role again in some months

I dunno about Twitch nerfs but yeah, Jhin is certainly getting nerfed, maybe Ashe too, beyond that Kalista and Trist need some help. Kog is whatever, without the old Rageblade rush he gets dicked on midgame as he should so unless the game gets super late he's manageable. If he gets a full build you're fucked but that's the point eh.
twitch nerfs are all but confirmed
forget which rioter it was but i remember reading about it

Interesting, I wonder how many champions they're looking at.
I've been tracking the popularity and performance for TF Ekko for a while now, since the changes to the item. It isn't some OP build, which is somewhat apparent looking at the performance of the players in the list and beyond. It is however another option for Ekko and it's definitely something for Ekko players to be mindful of when selecting their items.
Now, if you want an OP item on Ekko, look to protobelt. The positioning of Ekko once he completes his E-blink is the sweet spot to get the huge damage out of protobelt's active. Hitting 5+ rockets on the active is pretty normal. That's a ~300 damage nuke for 2500g.
Alright, so on my quest to stop my 6 game losing streak and first up I got Yasuo mid on my team. Since this is already a loss let's give Sion support a whirl.
EDIT: Other team however had a Riven who rage quit after dying to Panth top twice before 5 mins. You can't make this shit up.

Tried out kennen in a custom game. wtf is that damage?!
He does seem weak early game but holy hell does he deal damage.

with my vayne skills, no doubt
sivir might get a nerf too but i think the problem with sivir is karma so maybe not
corki and kalista are def due a buff, i dunno if they'll nerf mf since she's only strong in solo q
why is prizepool mattering here?

TI4?
Because games with more at stake make for a more compelling. Germany v. Brazil** in the World Cup finals is more exciting than in an international friendly, even when the games are otherwise equal. It's not rocket science. A prize pool approaching $20M is instantly more interesting than whatever amount Riot's iron eSport fist is going to dole out. Gonna add to this and say that World's happening over the course of what, a month, just sucks it dry.
Oh, and watching competitive LoL is fucking terrible. Full stop, awful.
**or whatever teams are good these days I follow football for a month every four years.

I'm pretty sure we're 2 years past TI4.

Now, now, take your joy pill. Can't have you being a downer.
I dunno why you're getting so salty Backward, it's like you're turning into an unholy combination of me, Nev and Dimb.
League's prizepool is low because every player is given a salary by Riot.
I don't see why a prizepool makes watching a competitive game more or less interesting anyways.
With some Breezy sprinkled on top.

Valves 19 million prize pool(Kickstarted by the players for stupid cosmetic books!) has spoiled everyone.
I dislike Valves crowdfunded way of doing it. It's so....lazy. And they make millions by crowdfunding it. Sure they have a baseline prize, but they end up making more money off the digital goodies made(And yeah, the prizepool gets bigger, but again...crowdfunded. Can't take that too seriously. Like, it wouldn't be cool if the NBA crowdfunded the salaries for their players through selling books or something).

Ah, the feeling when your premade group deletes you because we lose three in a row, it hurts.
there are other stakes are more than money tho?
msi has been amazing for two years straight, last year worlds was pretty good even if skt just ran through everyone past groups and there's really no reason to believe this year's worlds will be any different. yeah pro league is pretty lame during the year because teams are inconsistent and there's a lot of bad teams playing but come worlds or msi shit is always super hype not because of money but because it's these kids' chance to go down in history. you get to see awesome shit like uzi take a billion teams to the finals and edg building a comp that finally defeats faker's leblanc and kabum knocking alliance off groups and shit
it's awesome, i love worlds every year and im so glad this year it's in a time zone i can watch with friends
also like, do watch the international if you want, i'm sure it's great, but you need a more legit reason than money
dude, is everything ok?
like, honestly asking
i get that league's been pretty shitty for you lately but i always thought of you as a pretty reasonable guy and lately you've been kind of a mess here
shoot me a pm/add me on steam if u wanna talk about anything and seriously if league's giving u a bad time just play something else for a bit
try overwatch, it's pretty fun, got cute girls in it with funny accents and has a pretty addictive unlockable treadmill for you to feel like you're always somehow winning
i just don't like how it's made out to be like players are crowdfunding the prizepool when they're actually just giving a shit ton of money to valve and the prizepool only gets the spare change
if they did the split the other way around with 75% for the prizepool i'd be a lot more inclined to applaud valve but the way they do it and how they also tie it to the same old shitty exploitative doto item system is just depressing to see do so well

If you could choose two, what would you take?
-All runes are free
-Skins are now purchasable with large amounts of IP depending on rarity (40,000+)
-Yasuo is deleted from the game
-Solo queue returns
-TSM wins worlds
I second this suggestion. Overwatch is the ish.

hmm it's hard to choose
def the rune thing, even if i already have like all the runes i just don't like them existing so that's one
skins for 40k ip is just a lot, i don't think that'd be very good, i'd rather just pay for them
yasuo deleted from the game is tempting, even if i think he's kind of fairly balanced right now and fun to play against, but i think i'd rather have one that's coming up next
solo q is worhtless to me so idc
tsm winning worlds, now that would be some stupid fun, specially if it's like in a very silly way like everyone on skt get the flu and tsm wins the finals against an all subs team. something very dumb like that lol
so yea runes and tsm is my choice
this was fun!
