Welp.

RIP wallets.

Bonus RP finally. Been sitting on some prepaid cards and I can finally redeem them. Might get a mystery gift or two.

Most common bans I've seen are Braum (always) and Morgana. Kassadin, Fizz, Jax, Yasuo, Tristana, and Rengar get banned pretty regularly.

I used to see a lot of Lucian but he's rarely picked anymore.

ultimate skin is arcade skin?

 

[Blizzard]

Well it seems like a set off a flame war last night. I dunno, I agree with Costy here.

I didn't see anyone flaming -- we were discussing whether there is anything Riot can or should do about people griefing with apparent impunity, and I didn't think it was decent to call people stupid for not wanting to dodge, because it feels like saying "those players are asking for it". Other people brought up good points about various aspects of it all.

Overall I think it was pretty polite?

These are the worst bans.

At least I admit it! I just do it because I don't want to see them.

Funny enough, after the discussion, I do think it's rather dumb of me not to dodge when I'm running into an obvious no-win situation. I didn't realize how difficult the moderation situation was, so maybe I should be better at looking out for myself.

But still, I do think it's on Riot to improve the quality of experience.

Just imagine seeing Veigar in every game for two weeks or so.

Time to bring back URF one for all

nyjacky is so happy right now

So went up against top Ali for first time. He honestly didn't seem that strong to me. He felt like he had no pushing power. I would just roam mid and get kills for my ori. Could someone care to explain how top Ali works?

 

[Einbroch]

Awesome, I love Veigar. This'll be legendary.

He can push pretty well with passive and sheen. In theory.

 

[Ferrio]

When I tried him I went the Mao build route... that didn't work so well... couldn't clear waves at all. I was annoying as hell to garen though.

 

[Mister Negative]

of course riot makes double IP weekend my first weekend back at school

how am i gonna go back to playing on a macbook

 

[Negaduck]

Playing after a hiatus of league is always so weird. I feel like my knowledge is outdated from patches lol.

What's the best place to check to see who's pretty viable in each lane?

I usually play top. Garen is my favorite but I'll play any top to win.

Maokai.

Maokai in any lane.

Maokai in any role.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Uh wow. NA just did that sweet tooth thing? Garena did that like a month ago but without the legacy skins and IP boost

Malphite secret OP. Get in on this LP train before it's common knowledge.

Veigars that can't land Event Horizon? Oh boy I cannot wait!

 

[Mister Negative]

wait so is championship thresh not a legacy skin? I thought he was :<

 

[DeadNames]

ugh

Veigar gets the ultimate skin?


UGH

 

[Stone Ocean]

ugh

Veigar gets the ultimate skin?


UGH

We don't know if it's the ultimate skin or just a Veigar legendary.

Considering it's such a measly teaser and all the other hints exclude Veigar, I think it's just a legendary.

 

[Ferrio]

Wait what's the difference between an ultimate and legendary skin?

 

[Newt]

Wait what's the difference between an ultimate and legendary skin?

Pulsefire and Spirit Guard are ultimate. Higher quality, different icon etc.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Wait what's the difference between an ultimate and legendary skin?

Legendaries are the 1850 RP skins. They come with a new model, animations, voices and effects, like Battlecast Cho and Forecast Janna.

Ultimates are the 3150 RP skins. They come will all the legendary stuff plus a ton of other exclusive shit like on kill effects, transforming model as you level up, profile banners and icons, etc. Only ultimate skins so far are Pulsefire Ezreal and Spirit Guard Udyr.

 

[dimb]

ugh

Veigar gets the ultimate skin?


UGH

I really doubt they would make an arcade skin the ultimate skin.

 

[TomShoe]

Wait what's the difference between an ultimate and legendary skin?

From LoLWiki:

The skins tagged with the 1820 price are called Legendary Skins. These skins usually affect the champion in more meaningful ways than just changes in appearance. As an example, Lion Dance Kog'Maw will make him shoot out fireworks for his skills, instead of the normal projectiles.

The "special effect rule" however isn't always true, especially for older legendary skins, where only the model was changed; those skins still had far more work put into them than the others at that time.

Skins that receive even more work than a what a Legendary skin requires are Ultimate skins. At the moment there are only two skins in the category: Pulsefire Ezreal and Spirit Guard Udyr. Ultimate skins, along with their unique appearance, quotes and improved model, comes with a couple extra bonuses - a special summoner icon or icons(s) and a profile banner. Therefore, these skins have the highest price yet, and cost 3250 RP.

Veigar getting the ultimate? Who plays him? He can delete one person, but in teamfights he falls off.

[zkylon]

the image doesn't really indicate it'll be an arcade skin as the three arcade skin champions are in pixelart style while giant evil hand is not

might just be the ascension thing

also very unlikely they'll tie in the ultimate skin with another skin line i think

but who knows

i'd rather it'd be for veigar than xerath for sure

 

[CRS]

What about Blitzcrank?

I just realized they went with a mage, archer, warrior archetype for those skins.

 

[Tizoc]

For Fiora, would Last Whisper be best built after Hydra or should Youmuu be built after Hydra?

 

[dimb]

Does Thoorin actually play the game? I turned on Summoner's Insight but the first thing I heard was that Lee Sin was the most balanced champion in the game.

 

[zkylon]

too busy writing racist jokes

 

[Fracas]

First game of the night: "This match goes out to Robin Williams"

;__;

 

[SteveWinwood]

yasuo is the most balanced champion in the game

 

[Achtius]

It's just other champs are either overpowered or just plain bad. Lee sin is perfectly balance.

 

[Newt]

Saint is a bigger douche than Thorin and this interview is hilarious.

twitch is crap for me but yea, i think saint is just the man si needed

 

[Blizzard]

I would suggest ghostblade. It helps you catch people, stick to them, do more attacks when you're there, and kill towers faster if you're split pushing.

Last whisper can come later.

 

[Akira]

Videogame Villain line of skins for the "evil" champions.

 

[Edwardo]

yasuo is the most balanced champion in the game

Get good

 

[Newt]

Last whisper after bruta always. Fiora doesn't need the active that badly, and she doesn't benefit from crit chance much.

 

[KiwiLannister]

Ori, Caitlyn, Udyr, Amumu, Jax, Pantheon, Nami, are pretty well balanced in my opinion.

Ori, Cait, Nami are strong champs, but all have counterplay. Nami requires landing a difficult to land skillshot and good positioning, Cait requires good kiting and positioning with a clear advantage (her range) and clear weaknesses (not incredibly mobile, not a great duelist, not that strong at all ins), Ori requires landing skillshots, smart use of skills, good positioning, good teamplay.

Udyr I think is balanced because he is a champion with very clear strengths (waveclear, jungle clear, tankiness, speed, dueling potential, counter jungling) and weaknesses (easily kited, mana reliant). Amumu, Jax, and Pantheon are similar. Amumu and Pantheon (jungle) suffer from poor early mana sustain. Amumu is very vulnerable to being killed in his jungle, while Pantheon is strong early and relies on applying enough early pressure to begin snowballing. Jax and Amumu both have weak early games that scale well, but both can be countered with proper cc chaining or disengage.

 

[Newt]

Zekent and Elementz are in the after life LOL.

 

[dimb]

Ori, Caitlyn, Udyr, Amumu, Jax, Pantheon, Nami, are pretty well balanced in my opinion.

Are these just the champions you play? Jax, Panth, Ori, and Mummy are kind of like cancer incarnate.

funny soda haha
