Yea ward dispensers too fun bring them back Riot, everybody loved to play the most boring shit role invented in online multiplayer games. Who asked for buying actual items and feeling part of a team and not their useless bitch?
I miss these exciting 40+ min games as support. So much joy dewarding and doing nothing in a teamfight after blowing my only spell that doesn't need items to be somewhat noticeable. Who can't remember these intense low trade lane phases standing in the brush. Good times of "do I really wanna play this? I used to have fun", indeed.

There's nothing as funny as five blitzcranks with their W's active strutting down midlane. Nothing.
I don't think it does. It works by applying a debuff at the enemy, and you can only have a single debuff at a time.

People will always try to find the path of least resistance to winning. If it's easier to win as a mage than a support, it's Riot's problem that they haven't made them viable.

Is toplane blitzcrank viable? I've been playing him a bunch in One for All and he's just so fun.
also wtf only four blitzcranks?

So has anyone asked/tested if Yasuo's wall does 1 point of true damage similar to Anivia's wall or Trundle's spire?
I ask because it seems you could just push a minion wave and then set up the wall by a turret, let an adc or someone with attack speed siege the turret while the enemy is basically helpless to do anything. If the wall did 1 point of damage then at least the tower would start attacking Yasuo if an enemy came in contact with the wall.

The more I see and think about these new gold items, the more I like the general idea. Let the support role die and crack the game wide open. Enabling dual lanes as a viable strategy beyond a carry and a babysitter just gives the game so many more options in terms of the meta and legitimate champion synergy.
I want lane synergy be more important than champion select. I want to see four mages mid trying to combo with their teammates instead of someone hiding under the tower until laning ends because they got countered. I want to see weird new lane comps like Nasus and Taric bottom combining their crazy sustain, great CC, and armor reduction. I want as many people as possible to enjoy playing in a double lane instead of bitching about getting penalized for being a team player.
With as many champions as this game has, it's completely fucked up how rigid roles and lanes are. The meta shifts, but it's always just a transition from one thing to another. It rarely expands to allow for a diversity of options, and that's just boring. Even if the new gold items aren't there yet (and the support champs need some changes to make them more viable as itemized mages/tanks/junglers), they have the potential to completely change the game by making all sorts of double lanes a real choice.
Yeah, maybe none of this will ever work out in low level play with randoms, but I'd still rather see pro teams at least have the option than be stuck with the same old shit across the board. It would be exciting not knowing if a team was going to throw two mages mid, or double bruisers bot, or whatever else they could make work with some creative thinking. There are a trillion damn champions in this game, and there has to be something more interesting than only one or two viable meta options.

Don't underestimate supports atm. They are very strong right now, and they have dueling options.
Also, the game will always need ADCs. I may be super biased because it's my most played role, but not having a role that can destroy your team in 5 seconds at the 40 minute mark isn't something you can leave behind.
hahah that's hilarious
No idea how I just won that Fizz game. It was like, my third REAL Fizz game with the exception of when I was a total newb to the game (so those don't count). Normally when I lane against LeBlanc I like to go Kass, but my team banned him. I accidentally stole J4's blue buff at the start, but it wasn't my fault. I asked him if he was going to smite or not, he said he was. He proceeded to smite it at half health, and my poison +auto killed it.
Was kind of terrified to lane against LB as a champ I had little experience as, and I later found our she was scared too. Our lane was very passive for a long time, with both of us more interested in farming than trading (though I did initiate a couple trades that put me ahead).
Our J4 was super duper passive, and we were getting mad at him for it. He said that I was supposed to initiate by diving and tossing my ult. Our Sona said he was retarded, and that he was supposed to lock someone down and then we'd go in and stack our ults. His refusal to initiate led to us getting poked and pushed quite a bit. Eventually we got tired of waiting for him so I would just do what I could to initiate. We won every team fight except for one, when J4 ulted everyone on our team except for me, died, and didn't/couldn't release his ult. I got zapped fast, and the rest of our team fell.
Still, I ended up 9-4 so I was happy with the win. The only HUGE mistake I made was getting greedy and getting the blasting wand when I could afford it for my lich bane instead of saving up more for my sheen, but in the end I think it was a wise move because it made my ult hurt a LOT more in 1v1s and 1v2s, allowing me to zone and escape well.
I like you Fizz. But I like Ziggs more.

I wouldn't say really good, trick looked pretty outclassed, nien did horrible all three games and link was meh (winning ziggs vs. ori doesn't count). double was pretty alright but nothing out of the ordinary from him
I feel this is the big problem with s4 supports, they feel catered to people that don't want to play support. I didn't want to have bilions of gold on sona, I just wanted to not have to ward everything and then sweep one side of the map with oracles while the other support sweeps the other one.go away. you're part of the problem. if you don't want to support don't pick support.
I really really hate the idea of making lol a game about cheese
meta standards help set a basic framework for how games play out. I play lol so I can duel it out with the other mid, then teamfight, that's what I like, and I hate it when people pull off stupid shit like 3 people mid or whatever. playing against a new type of cheese every game would not make me happy
im into this
but I mean you are playing a fledgeling babby game, it's not really cheese, it's just not the game you were playing a week ago
it's milk right now, once it settles, and the cultures have time, then itz cheese
happy to see you haven't changed at all
what was c used for before?
your character sheet

Balls was thoroughly outclassed, too, which is a bit weird. European top laners traditionally haven't run a racket on North American ones, though I suppose it's a bit skewed in this case since it's arguably the two best ones in Europe vs. a player who only started playing top half a year ago and another who's never been a top-flight performer.
I'm a bit curious to see how long the honeymoon lasts between Doublelift and Aphromoo this time around. The fact Doublelift's playing both Lucian and Jinx is a reasonable sign they might get along better, since one of the major problems before was that he was too orthodox and inflexible in his champion choices. (Not willing to pick up Draven or Varus in particular.)
I still think fans picking CLG for IEM had a severe case of the dumb. They can't even beat the #3 teams in America, how exactly did anyone expect them to square off against teams that place #3 in the world?
im surprised CLG could even beat out TSM in terms of popularity
C9 looked kinda bad surprisingly. was it the loss of alex penn? or maybe its unfortunate for them that gambit had this massive power spike with edward
no you dont
move the char sheet to ; or something
i hear what youre saying that thematically, somethings dont make sense and i agree on that point
but yeah i dunno, the skill does say "projectiles" and its a question of whether people can understand ingame projectiles by how their skill looks vs "projectiles" by what it is they are shooting
also, i have NFI how diamond plays jungle eve so well. wtf

I keep pressing 4 for my fourth item
DAMN YOU TRINKETS
It's easy to remember C for character sheet. Sometimes it's a good way to check CDR and stuff. What is "Z" bound to? I wanted to like "T" for trinkets but I found myself accidentally hitting R.

Because they are. I've done the maths on them. You lose out ~15% damage at Lv1, which gets smaller the more AD to get, to the point that you gain ~5% damage at full build.
It sounds small, but that's with the assumption you always double Q a single target. It doesn't really happen often after laning phase. It's an overall net buff because of the reduction of damage falloff to half. She's in a very strong spot right now as an AoE ADC. One person getting a Randuin or Frozen Heart doesn't really screw her.
She'll be FotM since she'll eventually be used in tourneys then people will cry again for nerfs. W is strong right now.
As someone who just started this game this year, I'm so happy to see posts like this. Support in S3 was horrid. I thought something was wrong with me because I wasn't having fun. You're literally a useless whipping boy. Maybe it's because I've played support more than anything else but, having the role be fun trumps whatever the hell else it used to be.
thats pretty useful
more useful than character sheets
maybe we should use X then
why are you trying to imply 1FA mode means anything
maybe in bronze people still dont buy wards
but thats still a net growth in vision cos they all get baby wards
I was just asking a question -- do you still see the same amount of ward purchasing in normal/draft Summoner's Rift games?
And your assumption is that people place the baby wards.

One-For-All is where cutting edge strategy happens, Boken. That's why it's played on Summoner's Rift!
From what I've seen, there's more vision in low-tier games and less vision in top-tier games. The mean games, as they're wont to do, have split the difference. You don't see the Bronze "blind map" games anymore, but you don't see the "every bush on the map warded plus a few along base walls and one or two for Baron and Dragon" games, either. Most games, you see one or two wards constantly up near lanes during lane phase, and a small cluster of surprisingly limited vision around the team's current objective in late game with most of the rest of the map going dark.
If I don't qualify straight into Gold, I'll probably start the season out using wall-jump junglers to abuse the Freelo from easy ganks enabled by people who think one ward = safety. There's a lot of it going around in the games I've played.
I use x for shop lol
I could prolly use a for it, I'm no good at attack-move using a, I'd rather just do it manually
