Does the new Grasp of the Undying have a reduction for ranged champs?
So had a match of Irelia vs. Renekton
... Except we were complete non-factors. Among the other four, my teammates dominated so hard that it was an early surrender and Rene and I didn't really participate in much aside from maybe one team fight <_<
A win is a win I guess!
Those wins always feel so meh. It's like, woo we won, but I didn't really do anything to deserve the win. But oh well, I'll take + lp over - lp.
i think the idea with velkoz is that he's basically a mage version of fiora, he can shred tanks almost as easily as squishiesAt the very least I think they made his lategame a bit better. I think he should be better against tanky teams as well?
think of it as different ways of gating gw because of the types of champions that use it.Yea, I only get rellos really for the cdr since I run 20% cdr ruins 99% of the time. The thing about GW and mages is even if you feel you need it for a vlad or swain in lane, you won't be able to get it until you finish Rello and on top of that you have to get them low to utilize it, as you pointed out.
Executioner's calling on the other hand offers ad champs the GW passive for 800 gold and seems to work when they are at 100% as well?
I guess the reasoning on that is because mages are more bursty? I think you are right in saying they should remove GW from rellos and give it a new passive. But I'd settle for them removing the hp requirement for GW on Rello, although I'm biased and don't really play champs with sustain lol.
I think they should make an equivalent Executioner's Calling for mages that applies the full GW no matter what the opponents HP is and maybe have it build into another part of a different void staff or maybe another build component of Dcap?
no cos you need to be under 35% hp for the gw to kick in. i had someone rage at me for rushing roa instead of morellos on ori against cho and i was like, dude, read the fucking item description. so yeah, it's not a counter to sustain, it's just meant to help you finish off ppl that might be able to save themselves through healing (say there's a soraka on the enemy team). but it's not like a flat counter to vladimir or whateverWouldn't GW be good against any form of regen? Like Cho's passive/ Trundle's passive and ult/ Grasp mastery and anyone with a potion?
But yeah, seems kinda like a passive you don't buy the item for. I buy it for the CDR and AP ... in fact, if I'm on a champ who doesn't need to complete it asap I leave it at the lost chapter thing and upgrade it later.
nice, i bet peke is like the coolest guy everOh also I got to interview Xpeke yesterday. that was a lot of fun.
you're back!sometimes i wonder why i bother playing jungle graves even when it's like my best jungler lmao

i'm not sure why riot is talking about this like "hey we're cool look what we discovered" cos to me this sounds absolutely horrible
like i know your chatlogs are 100% riot's property but specifically targetting ppl and reading their chatlogs sounds like a pretty unfortunate invasion of privacy and using that as a reason to fire ppl is specially bad
sounds really dehumanizing to me

leeg = solo pooi think the idea with velkoz is that he's basically a mage version of fiora, he can shred tanks almost as easily as squishies
that's not necessarily bad, but i think they could've done something way more interesting with his kit, specially since his w and e are not very interesting. i get that in a combo based kit you need at one spell to be kind of bland that's meant only to be combo'd just to enable the rest of the kit, but at least do something else with e
idk, i just don't like that spell and i wish they had spent more time on it
but mostly i'm mad that they got my hopes up and then they didn't do shit for syndra
think of it as different ways of gating gw because of the types of champions that use it.
morellos can be bought on ori, who has a 1k~ range 2.4s cd aoe spell to apply it. if that limitation wasn't there she would completely destroy the ability of adcs and swains and whatnot of fighting back, so they gate it by damage so you can't just make them incapable of sustaining back and it's more of a reward for you if you get them pretty low (messes up their heal, soraka, voli passive, etc.)
for adcs, with some exceptions, they're mostly around 550 aa range, so that's like really fucking close, so instead of being gated by dmg, it's gated by range. since it's applied by physical dmg it can be really spammed on like ezreal but it's still not aoe, it's not passthrough and it's only like one champion, maybe two. it also lasts a lot less since adcs can reapply it much quicker (gw on morellos is like 8s, gw on mortal reminder is like 5?)
so it kinda makes sense, but i also don't know if the current iteration of gw on morellos is the best. i think it's kind of tacked on and doesn't feel very satisfying to use
no cos you need to be under 35% hp for the gw to kick in. i had someone rage at me for rushing roa instead of morellos on ori against cho and i was like, dude, read the fucking item description. so yeah, it's not a counter to sustain, it's just meant to help you finish off ppl that might be able to save themselves through healing (say there's a soraka on the enemy team). but it's not like a flat counter to vladimir or whatever
also honestly i wouldn't recommend just buying lost chapter as morellos is a really cost efficient item that's very much worth the complete cost (100 ap!). if you're just gonna buy one regen item might as well get tear that's cheaper and builds into a really strong item when stacked
nice, i bet peke is like the coolest guy ever
but did u get to meet sjokz?
you're back!
i was kind of sad u didn't get to make a snarky comment at my ot and now it's too late
damn you overwatch
it just feels like a gross thing to do to your own employees
and it begs the question, if they were being really toxic why weren't they chat banned already?
you don't need to take it to racism (or death threats, or whatever), cos at that point those ppl are just bad human beings beyond "it makes the company look bad"They should be harder on their own employees. I'm really failing to see any issue. They have a giant Riot tag in their name. They're representing Riot.
If a Twitch mod went on qtpie's stream and starting calling someone racial slurs that'd look awful for Twitch. That person would be fired, not just chat banned.
i just also take issue with like parading it as a sort of "social experiment" like you're doing the world a favorCompanies do it all the time though
If, for instance, an employee speaks out of line on Twitter or Facebook and makes toxic remarks, alot of times if there's an uproar that person will get reprimanded/fired.
For Riot, their parameters are defined by in game chat, as well as twitter and what not.

maybe they're just ppl that rage a lot, which isn't super cool, but then i wonder why they weren't chat banned already?
also like i don't really agree with ppl having to be held accountable in such an important way for the things they do online. like if i'm an asshole to ppl online it's perfectly ok for me to be banned but should i lose my job for that?
i just also take issue with like parading it as a sort of "social experiment" like you're doing the world a favor
like all the ppl that are toxic ingame are horrible human beings in real life, which is also kind of weird considering riot's very positive thinking towards toxic players, giving them multiple chances to reform and always going with the story of "ppl have bad days sometimes"
i agree with that vision of toxic people as people, and i don't think "spying" on your employees and punishing their in-game behavior with shit as harsh as taking their jobs is something i'm very comfortable with
again if ppl are just toxic why hasn't the system banned them?
or are rioters immune to banning?
that doesn't sound fair to me...

you knowsorry more thoughts on this issue which is very intriguing too me. We have to all understand the bulk of the workforce at a place like Riot is most likely Customer Service. It is very routine for companies to routinely monitor their CS agents
Granted, normally you'd only investigate their dealing with customers. It appears Riot has took it to the next level and also monitors their employees actions "in game". That's rather interesting because these Riot employees are just 'annoymous' players to us.
But I guess it all makes perfect sense. Riot wants to weed out the buttholes that are ruining their product. So naturally, you have to ensure you purge all the buttholes from your own company. It just makes sense anyways- since these are most likely your Customer Service staff. At your average company your Customer Service staff is huge and world wide
* I have no proof or inside knowledge of who all got let go. Sure I could call my friend that works there but its not worth it. So this is all guess work on my end
i mean, to be chat banned probably not that much. i'm guessing that's all that it refers to cos i don't think rioters would be ddosing ppl or intentionally feeding or whateverHow toxic do you have to be to get banned tho? Like, the system is good but to get banned you have to be incredibly toxic the majority of time.
If Rioters continued being passive aggressive and snarky as the article states, then chances are that they WOULDN'T get flagged by the system.
I like Singed, but I dislike playing against him. That's just because he's so seldom in a game that nobody knows how to play against him when he's in a game.
Man, getting some awful rubber-banding this patch. Ping and FPS is stable but the game is freezing for seconds at a time.
yea i'm surprised there's not a skin yet for ahri that has a bow on her tails
now i want this
They're actively making the game they work for shittier for others and working against the interests of the company, there is nothing to "talk".i mean, to be chat banned probably not that much. i'm guessing that's all that it refers to cos i don't think rioters would be ddosing ppl or intentionally feeding or whatever
also i just feel that if i was like "riot zkylon" (hey i like the sound of that :>) i wouldn't just do this kind of shit on my main account, so they probably monitored their personal accounts?
or something?
idk, the whole thing seems shady and kind of gross to me, i understand the need to enforce your rules twofold on your own staff, but i feel like this study in particular is very strange since they could've just have their banning system let them know when a rioter was flagged for a ban and they can just talk it with them
going at these lengths of like looking for in-game behavior as a kind of excuse to fire people just sounds awful to me. i'm guessing most ppl fired also had many other issues that were more important but having this one thing as an extra reason to fire them is to me really gross. in general all this talk about firing people and like cleaning up your staff and whatnot sounds gross to me
After a couple of weeks casually playing ARAM every now and then I feel pretty rusty on the rift. What are the must bans at the moment?
Between Swain and Vlad, I hate that Morello's GW was lowered to 35% from 40% activation.
