Dark Star Thresh is pretty good. Not Blood Moon good but still good. Dark Star Kha'zix looks pretty good but it's hard to compete with Death Blossom and Guardian. We'll see though. Ori skin set is pretty weak...so something like Dark Moon could be pretty cool, particularly for the spell effect changes.

Rakan and Xayah spotlights out already

Seems like they'll be released early into the patch? I guess Riot can't wait for the hilarious amount of money they'll make off these champions.
?

it's generally day after patch day, right?

also while i love their visual design i really think the vo isn't up to par with the amazing stuff riot's been doing lately

i don't like neither of their voices and i can't really feel chemistry between them, which is something weird to say lol but it's true

their kits are interesting tho

I think part of the VO problem is that all characters are sassy and the remakes make them sassy if they were not, so they sound like banter between Jhin and Tham Kench.

And in Spanish everyone is the same :x

I don't really know what you mean. Xayah in particular is very very good, and they have tons of lines for all sorts of stuff. Every new champ after Aurelion Sol did not really hit for me with the voice though, and this is the first time since then that the voice carries a lot of the character, for both Rakan and Xayah.

remakes?

Don't new champions usually take two to five days to be avaiable?

Hell I'm pretty sure I remember some champions being released in the following week
can't remember tbh

to me xayah specially sounds really uninspired, i don't like her lines or her delivery, and i'm not a big fan of rakan either, or them both as a couple. they sound a lot more boring than their personalities would imply

btw ur asol comment prompted me to look at the champion list yet again and i was a bit surprised riot still does difficulty ratings for new champions (and seemingly doesn't redo them for reworks?). was curious to me to see taliyah at 5 and kindred at 4, when rioters themselves mentioned taliyah as one of the most difficult champions to learn. similarly aurelion sol is at 7, while bard is at 9 or velkoz at 8. idk, that stat is meaningless but i found it kind of curious to see how they were still doing those stats since it feels like such an outdated concept to still maintain. i bet it's useful for some people, but i feel it's pretty misleading and inconsistent when camille and fiora are 4 and 3, respectively, while you got shaco and zac at 9 and 8 lol

rough game to get to plat 2 since i got camped pretty hard and missed a lot of cs but at least yasuo had it worse lol

with this i've achieved my goal for this season, with a lot of time to spare. let's see if i can break diamond tho it seems hard

i feel there's a big difference between diamond players and me, at least d4
 
they complain about no nendoroids, you give them a nendoroid

then they complain it's not the one they want

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You guys obviously have to make 138 nendos and release them at the same time. Rito sux lazy shit company.

Had a little bit of time before work so wanted to get a ranked in, even though I was pushing it. Thought, fuck it why not.

Get a Cass top which is fine, but then our jungle decides that's a troll pick and goes soraka with no smite so I dodged. Must be a sign. Such bullshit. Tired of having my queue held hostage like this. They really need to implement some kind of report system for this

Shoutout to "Lord Newt". Had a bad solo queue experience with him few months back -- forgot about it after a while but he added me and apologized, and we good for a few weeks now shootin' the shit. Pretty chill dude.
 
LAYAWAY LAY WASTE Lay Waste can now be buffered. Casts input as Lay Waste explodes will now automatically fire once Lay Waste comes off cooldown, unless Karthus cancels the command.
Q - Overload
ANTICIPATION Cooldown reset now occurs when Rune Prison or Spell Flux are cast, rather than when they hit their targets

Hmmm

Seems like little on paper, but this has the potential of breaking Karthus and/or ryze if used correctly? Buffering is..interesting in a game like League.

Also Udyr got nerrrfed :(
 
Assuming riot's engineers and done their due diligence of testing in low and high ping situations, I would assume this won't break something for Karthus. I also think the change is *probably* safe for Ryze.

Not breaking in the sense of glitching, but breaking in the sense that if you're able to buffer the next cast of Lay Waste for Karthus, then it could be a pretty strong buff for him. As for Ryze...resetting on spell cast and not hit is a buff for him.

Right, I meant in playtesting I would hope they determined this wasn't going to make low ping like 100x better.

Gotcha..

yeah, low ping would have a huge advantage with the Karthus changes. I would assume it does affect them since they're simply adding a buffer to allow you to cast the next Lay Waste while the animation for Lay Waste is happening.

All that's left really is to see if it makes a difference...(Granted buffering is more beneficial in fighting games because it allows inputs of multiple strings, but in a movement based game it can be just as useful IMO)
 
How does a buffer make low ping users better? The whole point of adding buffers is so you have a window that accounts for delays, that's like saying Alistar got stronger because they made his headbutt combo easier to do on higher pings, low ping people shouldn't be needing buffers to begin with.
