Support NeoGAF

[Subtle]

Maokai...Gragas...Alistar....

Either these guys are gonna get buffed or riot doesn't give a fuck who they give new skins for.

Where's my new (insert meta champion) skin.

i'm just glad we didn't get another Lee Sin skin

 

[Ghost is Bad]

man why does all this League news happen at like 2 AM I want to sleep at some point.

Sleep is for the weak and those without missing eyelids.

riot doesn't give a fuck

riven and panth bot got nerfed shortly after/before getting new skins, for instance

which is good cos otherwise riot would be pretty fucking rotten

i'm sure they prioritize popular champions when coming up with skin concepts tho, but that's fair

 

[Arthos]

I'm liking the skins. Might pick up the Lucian one.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

yeah gameplay and skins departments don't have any influence on one another.

would be a terrible way to run a company. customer trust would be absurdly low.

 

[Snowman]

well of course a riot employee would say that

 

[Mothman91]

And there's nothing wrong with that. They're perfectly viable.

Can't say that about Mao though

Yeah, nothing wrong but the downside is that you can't just pick them on a whim compared to most supports.

i'm just glad we didn't get another Lee Sin skin

He does have a ton of skins, but his latest ones have been pretty good. Muay Thai and Beach Party were nice.

there

can't argue with insider's knowledge

i'm just sad that knowing a rioter has netted me zero benefit

 

[Orochinagis]

No arbiter Sona? I am cry

 

[Stone Ocean]

That's because bot lane is a bitch right now, same goes for ADCs

But I wouldn't say fatman is comp dependant.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

pls give me moar thresh skins ty.

I can't scowl any harder

[Wolf Akela]

The Lucian skin is pretty sweet.

 

[Mothman91]

Is it me or does botlane have the most diverse champion pool atm?

If we are talking about Meta, then maybe not, but carry role is automatically Twitch/Lucian, then can dwindle down to Corki/Draven/Cait/MF. Support is pretty deep also, Thresh/Leona/Zyra/Nami.

We've also seen Ali/Ez this week in LCS.

 

[PhillipCostigan]

all right it's 3AM I'll catch up with the rest tomorrow

apparently it's a pretty big patch even outside of the skins so... yeah

 

[Sr Kitsune]

Hmmm....

They look pretty alike.
Confirmed. lol

 

[Achtius]

that lucian skin is actually pretty good, esp compare to the rest of the cast.

 

[Edwardo]

Is the Maokai skin to get people to play him again..?

it's football

pls

and it's the greatest sport in the world

don't see Riot doing skins for shitty handegg

Spoiler

disclaimer: I like American football please don't kill me

wtf

baseball.

wtf

 

[Achtius]

Is there anything in this world that's worse than soccer? I'm glad it didn't hit any of my champs.

the only good sport is e-sport

[Subtle]

Yeeeaaahh YEEEAAAAH

 

[brian!]

i never knew -___- was a scowl i thought it meant a peaceful content dood

 

[Kenai]

It's the long face part of "why the long face?"

Content is ^_^ or maybe ^_____^ idk

 

[Wolf Akela]

That's freaking awesome

 

[Mothman91]

Yeeeaaahh YEEEAAAAH

Oh damn, that's so cooool.

 

[Kenai]

That splash for the team skins is great.

 

[Blizzard]

The Draven skin + announcer desk is amazing.

Dodging is also important, try to dodge as much as possible. Look up stats before dodging though. Here's my list. Higher percent, higher chance you should dodge.

Shen (90%)
Zed (80%)
Alistar (80%)
Olaf (80%)
Leblanc (50%)
Vayne (50%)
Ezreal (40%)
Rengar (40%)
Yasuo (30%)

Having just lost a promotion game (so dodging wouldn't have done me much good) with a Shen who lost his lane, fed a lot, raged, and was homophobic -- where did you get this list? I never normally dodge ranked, but I may start giving this serious consideration.

 

[zkylon]

i think that's a basic knowledge list you learn over the years on ranked

i'd certainly rank vayne higher, certainly as high as 80%. they're all terrible, all of them

i'm also not particularly fond of the nidalee players

I look forward to seeing Ezreals lined up on bot against me. Usually means I'll have a fun time. >

 

[zkylon]

so me and my friend were discussing who might be the next victorious skin champ

we think khazix might be a prime candidate, but i dunno, too many junglers

i'm thinking it'll be a mid or adc, since there isn't any of those yet

 

[brian!]

ive had really good vaynes in ranked on my team

 

[DeadNames]

Skarner is such a cool champ. I love playing him top lane and building like jax/irelia.

Maybe this new update will make him better top lane. He's an amazing duelist.

 

[dimb]

Me too.

Spoiler

But you don't play ranked.

 

[brian!]

last season

 

[dimb]

last season

Sure thing, old man.

 

[brian!]

now i dont have time for ranked because i am c9 hai

 

[AcridMeat]

he's busy working his way towards a wiiU

O

It's the futuristic one. We already know about it.

Yes! Can't wait. I like that they're doing world cup skins, not a fan of a lot of them. Lucian is cool and I'll probably get that, Draven is awesome as well.

I miss skarner jungle days. He made the transition into learning the jungle easy, and was a ton of fun. Q+W spam so good with triforce.

 

[Nekofrog]

you have dinner with phillip saturdays and sundays dont you

 

[Kenny Blankenship]

man vayne players really irritate me, this guy goes 4-19 and yet talks smack to me

 

[brian!]

phillip is a nice guy and I cannot reveal whether he works for riot or not ;-^D

Ya with sheen he's impossible to 1v1. Late game when he has Bork and triforce, he's a force to be reckoned with. I should play him more.

 

[SZGF]

I think I prefer avatars off.

 

[Brutalx2]

Anything i need to know before i start?

Read up guide on champion you play during loading, just follow the item build, and had a general idea how the champion work.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Play Coop vs AI.

Mute players if they show ANY sign of being a horrible person (tab -> click the speech icon along their name).

Possible bits of Tristana buffs aside from general ADC loving. We all know Riot will run her over with the nerf train afterwards.

Dblade LS% is back. Crucible nerf.

 

[Boom Boom Pow]

nobody understands how OP AMumu can be.

Get him to 500ap and he can 2 shot an AD. plus his ult is a game changer.

im like 8 wins out of 10 played, with those other 2 losses being that my mid was just horrible

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Oh, jeez. Someone change her name to Miss Nasty. They had two Silvers on their team. WELCOME TO BRONZE, BOYS.

All four of my deaths were just team fight mistakes. I could have put up a clean sheet, but I was chasing glory.
