Ah, right, I see. That was nerfing his split push. I suppose you don't autohit much as Singed anyway unless it is at a tower.
What's so frustrating about arams? I've had 2-3 bad experiences at most and I've clocked in quite a few games by now.
I don't like people playing with my avatars but I'll forgive it this timeI remember when I could play nasus whenever i wanted and people were always like: wtf, how are you just 1v5ing us when our jungle camped you?
I miss those days
but yea the face is still
last game they were sona, blitz, teemo, ap ww and sivir
it was frustrating
I dunno, but I've grown to hate it
got lux last night, managed to get 20 kills (botched a guaranteed penta by forgetting about seraph's :/) but still ended up ughh
I think it's more to do with me playing alone than anything else
It could also be that Lux just isn't that fun in Aram despite being super strong. I always try to swap her if possible. Same goes for Nidalee.
While this may be true of Riven in general (and now there's the upcoming possible Q change in PBE), didn't Riven's W get nerfed once if not twice? I seem to remember reading Riot explicitly saying that they wanted to move power from her W to her Q.
It might not have been a huge numerical change, but if Riot did it a couple of times and mentioned their reasoning, that might have helped people start using Q instead/as well.

How's the pre-season Live patch feeling? Starting to seem a bit more solid, or still feel like there's going to be another seismic shift before it locks down?
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Took me a minute to get this.

There was this story about changing runes
Ow man, and here we go again. Ranked game, last pick is crying that he demands mid, then picks ADC even though we already had one. Then all he does is steal cs from the real adc and run straight into the enemy just standing there to get killed.
They really need to fix this match making for ranked.

I hope they will do this thing where you wueue for a specific role. I think they talked about it before
They should also enforce people to have a full mastery + rune page. This ez doesn't have both.

I agree. They should also lower the IP cost of runes they are just waaaay too expensive.

Here's a better way of putting it. Some truly mindnumbing shit, that mode.

ARAM is fun in short spurs but this community always somehow manages to touch things and ruin them. A mode that is supposed to be fun and silly? Let's rage and bitch and moan and dodge because I didn't get a champ I like.
Nah that's not it. Dodging is a rarity and flaming/raging likewise.

Or nerf runes/buff base values so that armor yellows aren't mandatory for everyone.

They're nerfing flat armor runes. That's pretty much the only info we have on rune rebalancing.
The bolded is the reason everyone views him as weak right now. Most champs you're like "wtf does he do??" Yasuo doesn't do anything particularly surprising, especially if you don't know what you are doing with him.
But really I don't view him as too weak. He is squishy and a melee. That alone means you need to play him with a degree of respect. So many people just ult in at the first knockup and get exploded. (I got yelled at by an Ezreal because I wasn't doing exactly that.. sigh)
I have had a good time with him. He does a surprising amount of damage, especially early and midgame when he has his shiv and IE.
I find his laning phase to be pretty good with most matchups. Again, he's a melee against a range in a lot of cases, but his Q has a pretty good range and he should be able to cs pretty well. In a good creep wave he also has good mobility to get in, poke with his shield, and get out again. Yasuo players need to use that shield to get the most out of him.
My toughest matchup so far has been Vlad. That lane sucked. Like really sucked. I rushed a hexdrinker and Vlad rushed an armguard. I could do almost nothing against him. His skills were too low of a cooldown for shield, Q wasn't affected by windwall, he could pool the knockup. It was ugly.
Other than that, I haven't felt outmatched in lane very much. Teamfights are tougher but it's basically playing like an assassin. You wait for your moment. Or you go in with an immediate escape plan to get back to the edges of the fight. He does very well picking on a single target.

Someone from Riot also commented on how they're contemplating making runes more categorized; i.e. yellows could be strictly defensive, reds might be purely offensive and blues could offer increased utility like CDR or gold generation. This would also supposedly give them more leeway to remove unpopular or statistically underwhelming runes while introducing new ones. It's been a while since a designer last spoke about this though, similarly to the end game Wriggles upgrade path.

That would be so damn great. Runes can be awkward right now. Red is supposed to be physical, but it also has better MPen than blue.

Where is my 975 rp, riot?
edit: nm quick googling reveal that they won't refund snowdays skin from last year even though they are re-releasing them
riot pls
they were legacy, not limited.
they're only refunding limited skins (the super old ones)
Riven's W / Q were rebalanced once and it still took ~6-8 months before people maxed Q first. The current PBE changes won't change this either: Maxing Q first is just the best way to play Riven.
True. I'm just saying that I wouldn't use current results with him to indicate much besides a lot of his problems are that people piloting him are failing all over themselves. Which, unfortunately, would also hide any actual problems in his kit design / kit numbers.
