10 team LCS for next season confirmed

also under consideration is a circuit point system to further incentivise the Spring split.

cool

they gotta somehow change the format tho or it'll be unbearable to watch like a million hours of games every weekend.

BO2 or BO3 for the LCS, please. No more BO1.

yeah, this would be really cool. bo2 imo is the most fun and exciting format

Yet I still see so many carrys building that first or second.

cos they're dumbies!

ie and triforce don't rlly have synergy tho. Bork it is

?

triforce builds out of a zeal :I

 

[Subtle]

Idk man that's what Kobe said!

 

[TomShoe]

So EG and Gambit have much better chances of staying in the LCS now. Hell, any team that is playing in the promotion/relegation tournament will have with this format. G2 and NiP may get second chances with this as well.

not enough, should be 12.

I do like the idea of more teams though, the sport is only getting bigger. Regarding the circuit points. Does anyone feel that teams that participate in the Challenger series should get circuit points. If you only get into the LCS during the Summer Split, that puts you awfully far behind in terms of points. I feel like there should be rewards for performing well in the CS, even if some teams may not get to use those points.

EDIT: BO2 or BO3? What's that? Best of?

I think you mean "Best 2 out of 3," or "Best 3 out of 5."

you want bjork if you need the lifesteal and the active, if you're gonna duel or need to peel for yourself then go bjork

if you're gonna teamfight get ie which is more dps which makes every sheen proc you get be worth more cos you have more ad and also crit chance

not enough, should be 12.

maybe

it should be made so like if a team comes out of the challenger thing and destroys every lcs team they should be able to make it to worlds for sure

but like being third on lcs should be still better than winning challenger thing i think

i'm not good at this circuit points crap

How about when challenger teams enter the LCS they steal the circuit points of the teams they kick out of the LCS.

 

[brian!]

is expansion tournament kind of like a food eating contest

 

[DeadNames]

WOW

REALLY

VICTORIOUS MORGANA

I DONT EVEN WANNA GET GOLD NOW

 

[Blizzard]

Is NA down again? I'm in a 20000 login queue.

 

[JesseZao]

I think you mean "Best 2 out of 3," or "Best 3 out of 5."

That's redundant. 2 out of 3 and Best of 3 are the same thing.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Are the victorious skins the same as the champion skins? Like victorious elise and champion ryze? Because ive seen a lot in Dominion. Lotta people get salty in Dominion.

victorious skins are for placing gold or higher in ranked play for the season

championship skins are ones you can purchase around the time of the world championship and are removed to the legacy vault afterwards

 

[bokn]

Victorious = reward for placing gold or above in ranked.
Championship = skin for world championships

Victorious Thresh? You mean Championship Thresh.

I'm seriously wondering if it's just me -- 20000 login queue, got stuck when it got to 1, but no one is mentioning it here and there didn't seem to be a thread on Reddit.

I switched over to the LAN server and was able to immediately log in. :/

The usual DDOSing, should be a given at this point.

 

[clemenx]

Is it me or people are playing Janna a lot in the past week?

Same problem. In fact I'm getting this quite a lot since I started playing LoL about two weeks ago. This is very quickly making me want to make the jump to Dota.

Dota was getting DDOS'ed too I heard. You just picked up a bad time to play LoL.

 

[bokn]

Even Path of Exile and Diablo3 got DDOSed. It is a terrible time to play multiplayer games, folks.

 

[clemenx]

First ranked in a while so I don't decay.

HEIMER SUP.

Oh, LoL.

The only person you would ever want to build banner for.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Azir too, maybe.

 

[23qwerty]

Azir too, maybe.

I can't imagine Banner of Command would affect his soldiers at all as they're not targetable units.

 

[TomShoe]

*sigh*

 

[Nekofrog]

Man... the day I can finally buy some more RP and I can't log in.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Just checked the wiki. Boo. It doesn't work.

And wait till you get to the end of the queue, cause you still can't log in!

 

[23qwerty]

Yay!!! I'm in

 

[dimb]

I'm pretty into it. Lulu stomps Janna.

 

[zkylon]

I'm pretty into it. Lulu stomps Janna.

too bad no one plays lulu

the waters fine

valve ddosing confirmed

 

[DeadNames]

Azir looks super cool. His kit kinda confuses me. I feel like he could work as a top laner because he can easily bully melees, kinda like Kayle.

 

[dimb]

too bad no one plays lulu

I do, and that's enough for me.

Anyone in silver-gold up to duo?

Also why do you guys hate Gnar so much? I like him a lot.

 

[TomShoe]

Because his face and his playstyle are annoying, especially toplane

 

[23qwerty]

lolll played the worst game of my life, feels bad

<3 Gnar.

When I finish #TheClimb this weekend, I'd be down to duo sometime. I normally play the Swain god or Lucian, though I'm comfortable in any role.

 

[Ferrio]

lolll played the worst game of my life, feels bad

What happened?

 

[23qwerty]

What happened?

Played a normal against mostly higher mmr people as lee when I haven't played him too many times. Did a lot of dumb shit. Mehhhh, need to practice him more...
I feel like going full tank as lee requires you to be a lot better mechanically than if you were going a bit of damage at least. Seems harder to play him defensively.

Tank lee is less about damage, and more setting up kills for your teammates.

Yeah exactly, that definitely requires a lot more mechanical skill with him.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Yeah, basically either kicking someone to your team, or be annoyingly sticky to someone.
