Not sure if honor system is making people less assholish, or if I just got good teammates.



Either way, today was a good day.

Now you mention it, ever since the honor system I had been raging a lot less against another gaffer. I felt like people been saying "gg wp" more often on losing game.

There's also an enemy lee sin gave me honor for saving him two time as alistar.

Let's see how long it'll last.

 

[dimb]

But I still see all of those, Riot didn't even nerf hammer AP Rengar or Kog by much. She still does well mid, and her Q can farm minions in 1 Q that Xerath WISHED he could do. Low mana costs too so she can just poke all day.

Please leave Xerath alone. He's a boss and his Q is actually okay for farming.

Please leave Xerath alone. He's a boss and his Q is actually okay for farming.

Xerath is very useful champion, especially his ultimate letting him check opponent's ping from half a screen away.

Got hit by Ult once = opponent connection is ~250 ping
Got hit twice = ~800 ping
Got hit by all three = Save your ignite, your opponent disconnected, or their mouse is out of battery.

Imagine the advantage if your team know which enemy is lagging.

I don't know what riot is thinking, skill shot ultimate with cast delay and animation alert similar (but little shorter) like lux is horrible idea. Before the "fix", you can land all 3 ult in one stun, now you are lucky if you hit the first one with a stun. Xerath already require superior positioning to be useful, now he need superior positioning to whiff everything, they need to change his ult to something like corki's.

Supports high ELO players, wins, supports low ELO players, loses...makes sense to me.

The world is exceptionally cruel my good friend.

 

[lazorexplosion]

Kathrus is really good if you can last hit under tower without pushing lane (make sure the q only hit 1 minion). Once Kathrus walk passed the middle, he is basically a free kill for the other AP.

Someone teach me the secret of Fiora top... I can't beat Jayce for the life of me, and darus, and vlad, and all popular top. Only time I won a lane is when I go against teemo, mf, and... that's it.

That is the "secret" of Fiora top: she just isn't as good as the top tier tops.

Fiora is one of the strongest level 2 champion

 

[lazorexplosion]

Enemy AP Teemo tries to trash talk when we are 4 vs 5. His team loses. Ahahahahah too funny. All the players on our team were being super nice too, offering to give mid, giving grats on good plays, thanking people. Got called the best Sona by my carry ^^. This is a crazy new world.

Guaranteed rise in Fiora players if her Teacher skin comes true.

Yeah, I think there's been a weird rush of niceness since the honor thing went up, but I doubt it'll last. Assholes gonna asshole.

Increased ELO gain per win

GOOD PLAYERS RISE TO HEAVEN!

EDIT: I've played a few games, in all of them I've had post match friend requests where they beg for honor, feels like the TF2 hat situation.

 

[Wolf Akela]

How the hell does Vayne and Yi lose that hard to a Teemo?

I went 1v2 against Garen and Tryn and mopped the goddamn lane 10/0. I wish I could have helped from top but I can't.

One more reason why I'd rather play mid. Fix other lanes before it gets too awful.

Also am I the only one who goes W>Q for Cho?

You guys are always AFK.

Surrender at 20 just posted an article regarding the new HUD- changes, with a picture attached:

What do you guys think?

I'm personally not a fan of the ornate nature of it. Especially the trim-curves at the bottom hud elements feel a tad excessive. I like the little blips indicating skill level though, that's a nice touch.

 

[Wolf Akela]

I only want some more things from the new HUD:
- Enemy CS counter, so that it's easy to know how well you're faring against the enemy in lane
- Ally avatar beside minimap, helps make it easier to be aware of both map and ally health (Shen!)
- Ally SS/ult beside their avatar like in spectator. It's surprising how WAY many people don't know what the green dot means. ("gg noob shen not ulting me pls report")
- Champ avatar changes with the skin (option)

Old shoop

Skill levels are really welcome.

Remind me: was there an opacity setting for the HUD?

Uh, I guess it's okay. The current UI is pretty trash, and I was just looking over it today remarking as much. I don't think it really changes much of anything though. Boots and attack speed icons are way too similar.

It's better. Little cleaner, more info. I don't hate it.

 

[dave is ok]

They should put the mana costs on the button for the ability too.

 

[Boken]

Spell levels are nice, but I don't like the look of it. It has so much wasted space and it looks out of place in LoL-land. It's too futuristic.

Starting off with Azubu Frost v iG, two of the best teams in the tournament. It should be a good game.

 

[garath]

Oh that would be really helpful. So many times I'm mousing over to see if I have enough mana for a combo. I don't play enough to memorize all of them at all the different levels.

[brian!]

I feel like any new iteration of the HUD should come with a certain degree of player customization. The icons for ad, ms, etc. remind me of flash games.

but in the end, i don't carrrrre as long as it's not terribly confusing or unintuitive

 

[garath]

Ew, someone said katarina was getting a nerf in the other thread. What nerf is she getting?

 

[AcridMeat]

I don't like that the top right stats are all colored the same. How is that easy to reference? Honestly it looks a little like Dota 2, in terms of the soft textures being used.

The bottom right icons are hard to make out because of the way its shaded as well.

 

[zkylon]

I don't like how it looks and all that Arial fontage, but it's cleaner and easier to read, which is pretty good.

I really wish they added more pings for MIAs, buffs and such.

 

[y2dvd]

Also am I the only one who goes W>Q for Cho?

I thought this was common? I max W before Q because it's a much more reliable source of dmg. 1 pt in Q first because invade or lvl 2 gank can put a stop to that, then max R -> W -> E -> Q

 

[brian!]

I max W as well, it increases silence duration whereas Q has a consistent slow throughout all levels.

 

[ShdwDrake]

Been playing kha top sometimes I rape face other times not so much not really sure how to build him

 

[Barrel Cannon]

Wasn;t she just nerfed pretty big a month or two ago?

 

[Blizzard]

Wasn;t she just nerfed pretty big a month or two ago?

Her remake nerfed her ability numbers almost across the board if I recall correctly -- I think Scarra, one of the most well-known Kat players, commented that her early game became even more awkward. The idea was that the late game worked a bit better since you could melee people with W for extra damage even if they cancel your ult, assuming they don't kill you.

I didn't like the remake Katarina much, but I think the win rate went up so everyone else must have. Then yes, I think they nerfed her after the remake, and if there's another nerf coming up I guess I was right to be cynical when they originally came out with the remake. I wish they would have just left her alone, even if that made her unviable in most situations, rather than ending up in a place in which they keep chipping away at her abilities.
