idk you could've had this instead

not exactly the same but i honestly thought the malzahar splash was azir's. art is really good like usual but i do think this is starting to show the weakness of doing the same skin lines over and over again

kayle skin looks so great, that's such a fun and well realized design and a great addition to an already awesome (albeit super dated) skin line

i really wish that's how riot did all skin lines, just release em slowly, one or two at a time, wait until they find the right champion and design and making sure they fit a spot left open by other skins in the same, instead of overlapping with them

ziggs skin looks really good and at least has some sort of bomberman reference in it, but i wish they dropped the other two, neither design is original or interesting or fun. malzahar is some generic tron dude and brand just looks kind of awful. it's so lame, this skin line was always kind of hit or miss but this feels like they ran out of ideas

hecarim skin is good also, but no one is gonna have it so who cares. i don't think i've seen like a single hextech annie or vayne or tryndamere so yeah, at least they made a gambling bait skin for a champion i don't play i guess

Full stop that shirt is terrible. if she was standing it would not be holding her boobs in at all.

lol true

Whats with her jacket not covering her chest at all, HOW in earth she can sing on that large pole nearly as twice as her size

Also Kayle skins is always welcome <3 .

Ziggs recall is straight up rip off Bomberman I think Ziggs is the only one be worth or a skin while the other two are pretty uninspired "minion" like design instead of being Bosses which is the skin line about.

ziggs doesn't look like bomberman and he's not being sold off the bomberman IP, it's just a homage...

veigar has like a bootleg powerglove and hecarim has like a guitar hero guitar

it's a fun nod to something, that's not a ripoff

What do you mean, it takes 5 seconds to be Nev.

"OMG, more Ahri and Annie skins for you degenerate sub-humans that rely on waifus for self gratification. When will they release a new Yorick skin waaaah."

"I seriously got chat restricted for trash talking in an ARAM, screw Riot and their shitty report system waaaaaaaaaaah"

There we go, 100% accurate Nev impression. You say it like acting like Nev is a good thing lol. I just said it cuz the names are similar.
 

zkylon

ur impression is pretty good but nev has a je ne sais quoi that u can't just mimic

also i never got the comparisons were meant to be name wise?

what's turb got to do with panda

does panda even play lol

All those champs are pretty good and fun to play. I feel like maybe the worst champ in that pack (based on the current meta) is maybe TF?

Alright, game updated just now for me. Nurgot is GO!
Gonna try him out in Twisted Treeline to get a feel for him :V

EDIT: lol, Urgot's champion page in the client shows his old moves' footage but has his new moves' descriptions.

Can someone remind me again how these Nasus changes made it to live? Just makes his 1v1 and his late game absolutely insane.

His ult is just so strong. Being able to double up the Q's makes his level 6 all-in ridiculous, especially with all the tanky stats he gets from ulting. His E is slightly weaker at early levels since it does a percentage amount instead of flat reduction, but late game it's crazy against armor stackers, and it makes his Q even more ridiculous. So now you basically have to snowball against him pre-6 or you just lose 1v1, instead of being able to at least have until he finishes 1 or 2 items before he outscales you. Absolutely busted right now, since it's already hard to bully out a properly played Nasus (passive lifesteal)

Tank meta = GP meta

I hate this new patch already, and I won't be able to play it for like a week.

idk you could've had this instead

Its great when someones starting out the game and they're enjoying champions like Vayne etc and then you get to witness when reality hits them.

Yeah, it's fantastic. I just had back-to-back games against the same Vayne player and I think she got a good dose of reality. In the second game she got a couple kills after we had 3 inhibs at 20, but at that point it doesn't matter, she still didn't really get to play the game.

insight is appreciated, none of these posts and gifs make any sense to me

Unlock her if you feel like she's fun. It's just that Vayne is one of those champions that rely extremely on match ups and how good the player actually is so if you're not a god at Vayne you'll probably have a really bad time vs players who know what they're doing

She's an all right champ if you find her fun. Most of the time she shouldn't get picked into difficult lanes since she's a bit weaker early game than other adcs, mostly because she lacks a damage spell. There are supports that can help alleviate her issues.

She's one of if not the single best tank killer in the game too, and if you get out of lane all right you will become strong.

Vayne has a lot of bad matchups, which makes her tough to play against competent players at a similar skill level during the early game. Also she has a reputation for being played by people who try to outplay constantly and fail hard. Check out Vaynespotting

Also semi-related: Fuck vayne. I supported a vayne yesterday who picked Vayne into a blitz lucian lane and couldn't avoid getting hit by hooks.

Yo I got a couple of (very different) article to share with you folks today.

The first one is live now, it's a an article on improving at jungling with tips from EU LCS pros

would appreciate your feedback on this one

the next one might bring about more of a discussion tho
If you’ve ever watched TSM’s Svenskeren attempt an invade, you know how poorly it can go without proper planning and a knowledge of jungle matchups.
This one got me...

Generally I'd say the information in the article is useful, but some of it is targeted primarily at high level play and other stuff is not elaborated on by the pro players in their explanation as much as it should be. Talking about not being able to help out all the lanes is obviously good, but there's not much there about avoiding certain areas of the map where your team is weak or lacking vision. Maybe this is just a personal thing (?) but if you prioritize ganks when your team is behind you are just encouraging more team fights, and when you are behind team fights do not usually go so hot. Obviously there are exceptions to this if your team does not scale at all. Part of the reason "pathing" can feel like an overly general term though is that conceptually knowing where you can and should be on the map is difficult to simplify. For high level junglers that comes more naturally, so I feel like it gets explained less. Most of what they put forward talks about finding opportunities but sort of glosses over how to avoid giving the enemy those same opportunities.

It would have been nice to see more stuff about how vision and the control around objectives (along with assessing their priority) factors in to where and how fights are set up though. Maybe that is beyond the scope of the article though. I also feel like the recommended picks from Trick target a very different level of player from the general reader. Should a Silver level jungler be looking at something like Rek'sai as an easy pick up? Good read though.

vayne players have a bad reputation, that's all

haha thanks guys. played enough street fighter over 30 years to get that
