yea but youre implying there arent any tradeoffs for those attributes
so it really is 'terrify cant be 1000 range cos its targeted'
'hyperscaling cos he sucks early'
'unusually tanky because he has low range'
'low range because he has targeted abilities'
hes basically cassio who doesnt suck early:
cassio:
low range because she has targeted abilities
-tanky
+not sucking early
hyperscaling

There are a lot of mid-laners out there whose egos can't handle Vi getting one high-probability gank off on them per laning phase.
but carries are puny little girls while ryze is ridiculously tanky
a 6 item carry can be killed. 6 item ryze is basically game over. ga kinda makes adcs a lot harder to kill but imo that's just the item itself being kinda dumb. there's no comparing that to ryze's combination of frozen heart, roa, seraph shield, banshees, even his own ga, etc.
and i don't think time bomb strategy is a good strategy for the game to have. the game shouldn't have variety for variety's sake, i like evelynn, i like shen, i like tf and karthus. i don't mind hyper scaling or weird shit as long as it's tied to something that you can counter if you play right. champions like karthus or jinx or cass aren't "it's lategame, you lose".
if you brush catch ryze lategame there's like 60% chance you just threw the game lol
and like there's no outplaying ryze, if you're in range you're dead, and lategame the guy can turn into freaking rammus every 30 seconds.
also i dunno where that lebonk talk comes from, i didn't say anything about her late game (i think?)
i wouldn't mind this
yea i think new lebonk is way better than the old one
old one was super annoying to lane against (new lebonk is nowhere near as ridiculously overpowering in lane as old lebonk was) and your team would always sigh when you picked her.
they also made her A LOT more fun to play, tho i've moved on to ahri since farming on her is easier and ahri is imo more versatile
plus lebonk is banned in ranked a lot
hey dude, i just got my ego crushed by a j4 so have so mercy for midlaners
sometimes you end up 0-6-1 and feel like the whole world's against you
but yea i ban lee sin 24/7 gtfo and never come back
i would ban vi every game a while back when i played adc because fuck dealing with that noise (i would ban nocturne every game too if he was played more)

Yeah, it does suck getting jumped on by her late game as an ADC, but most of the people I see asking for Vi bans have been calling mid. They just don't want her to come in for that gank at Lv6, pretty much, because in their private world "the only reason I lost that game was because Vi ganked me".
Personally I'd rather ban a champion like Lee or Elise who can actually get off multiple ganks from 1-6 with high success rate, but I guess the mid laners just felt like Vi "unfairly" targeted them since that lane was her most common destination for the Lv6 bump-and-dump.
I feel like I see no Lees or Elises since 4.5 hit, like maybe 1 in every 10 games or so, crazy the difference one patch can make
everyone is too excited by feral flare

Playing 5 man premade is so fun.
Sometimes I forget how fun this game is when you just play with friends rather than rank solo q all day. It really takes the fun out of you, and the stress level just goes through the roof.
Plus it's nice knowing there's people you can trust. Lately I've been a very greedy solo q player (taking all the kills, and downright ksing like flashing for a kill when there's no reason), and it has paid off lately. So many games within the last week where I give the kills to carries (as jungler) and just have them blow the game. Guess with solo Q you just have to take that mentality of do it yourself.

I've just had to have a read through it again. It not only surpassed OT5 but it did so by a fair margin which is astounding really.

So, how do you kids feel about Angus the Puncher?

He's still the support that bot lane deserves, even if he isn't the support that bot lane needs right now.
zkylon pls stop responding to the 2salty2dota people in that thread
thts my job
i dont want ur support im a top laner
isnt angus the puncher gragas?
also, sigis is hinting at the next champion - its going to be a "manly" support champ.

If I remember right, they actually promised a "manly" support when the Angus thing was making the rounds, which turned out to be Thresh.
I guess skeletons are kind of manly?
Sigismundo

No, Gragas came out a long time before the Angus concept did.
well i'm a roaming support gotdamnit!
also like i have a friend that plays doto now, so i can't hate doters anymore
well tbh the roles in league is a bit sexist
i don't mind since there's lotsa girls in the roles i like but there's not that many female fighters or tanks which i guess is again cool since i have a friend that hates playing girls and outright refused to give riven a shot even if she was like the ideal champion for him.
so like i figure real men and not little girls like me that actually enjoy the manly roles don't want to play no women

Could be worse, you could have the Capcom Vagina Tax.
I mean, I hope they do put out another manly support, just for variety's sake, and maybe one or two manly mages that are actually viable wouldn't hurt.
I'll trade you that for a couple of moe junglers and a top lane tsundere or two.

Okay, for your top lane champion we'll make a really stern lady samurai like Satsuki from Kill la Kill or Busujima from High School of the Dead.
Jungle, I dunno. Maybe just redesign Skarner so it's a little girl wearing oversized lobster claws and a scorpion stinger.
In return, I want Support Dio.

well i think they said new fiora will be like a midlane light fighter or whatever
like say yasuo
so few autos
rite?
Hm, quite possible. She will probably still deal some more auto hits than yasuo though.

What the fuck is this?
Dio-sama supports no one, he uses his teammates like pawns. So obviously he needs to be a hyper-carry ADC or a high skill cap, early game monster jungler or a mid lane assassin with a untargetability skill.

everyone should be a fan of fiora

That's what modern supports are all about. They send their goons - the ADCs - out to fight the enemy's minions, because they can't be bothered. They only show up when the time has come for the dramatic showdown with the enemy champions; they don't have time to piddle about with creeps like some mortal scum.
Modern supports initiate. Modern supports dictate the pace of the game. Modern supports... are za warudo.
Okay not really, but Dio-level manliness is still desired.
well i'm not a hater of autoattacks themselves
i am an ori "main" after all
but like i don't really enjoy autoattack champions like jax or ALL THE ADCARRIES
which kinda explains why the only adcs i've played in ranked are corki, graves, varus and ezreal
i kinda really like jinx too but that's cos it's hard not to be in love with her
actually i've always liked her
but she's like someone put like 6 kits in a blender

Too many things to mention.
The guy from riot giving out skins at pax asked me who my favorite champ was. I told him Trynd, and then he called me a manly beast.
with the best hat in the game on top!
i actually had a lot of fun with tryndamere like the two times i played him but i don't think i would make a good trynda player
i'm not good at splitpushing or 1v5ing
i long for a werzy opponent
fiora is genuinely one of my favourite champions to play when i don't feel like i need to care so much about winning

Nah Mid vs. Nasus.
I can't solo team fight with Aatrox at all, this guy can only be good if others are with him.

You, uh, can't really solo team fight period. I mean, that's just a contradiction in terms, you know?

Haha, no I mean if it's you solo that's not actually a "team fight", even if you win. That's just you being a beast.
Otherwise every fight in the game would be a team fight!
Yeah she's pretty fucking good right now, I just feel really unreliable on her, like i'll either go huge and carry the game ezpz, or i won't do anything useful at all for the entire game and everyone on my team will hate me
