Oh those were the days...
well ur wrong lol
akali's more of a debatable case tho

Why the long case?
Am I a nub for using normal cast on Morg?
After normal casting for all my league life, I can't use smart cast.

Preferences and shit
I'd suggest trying out smart cast with indicators on, though. You get the best of both worlds.
No one cans, at first. It takes some time to get used to it.
Yeah I believe so.
Also I am fine with the price bump. Rushing IE and praying for rng is stupid.

I don't think this fixes anything. You're still going to rush IE and hope for RNG, it's just slightly more expensive now.
Cool... I guess?
I don't see what this solves to be honest.

ungh! D; 2 more games to win on Ascension for that icon! And every time it seems a champion from the other team won't get ascended... BAM! ._.
Also some team comps are like wtf.
I still have fun with it Ascension mode though, I mean it's a dumb game of slaughter, how could I not have fun with it.

Yeah, you're right, it doesn't fix anything lol.
Just takes longer for you to pray for rng

They're trying to make a BT rush viable again, I guess.
One of the biggest reasons for a BT rush was how it was severely cheaper than a IE rush. Making IE more expensive makes BT look more attractive in comparison, which can push team comps and strategies torwards BT carries.
Not that I think that making it 150 gold more expensive will accomplish that, but I can see what they're going with. Buffing BT without actually buffing it.
it makes ie less gold efficient and slower to build so basically indirect buff to everything else
probably won't change much other than removing a bit of power from ie rushing adcs
ppl are rushing ss on trist anyways so just a small nerf to general adc midgame

Smartcasting is only really "mandatory" for champions that need to use their spells quickly and within a short timespan; Ryze and Cassiopea come to mind. Someone like Morgana is the opposite end of the spectrum. I go for both styles depending on the champion, but just stick to what you're comfortable with really.
a lot of skins here in videoform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBxrccdVe20&index=9&list=UU0NwzCHb8Fg89eTB5eYX17Q
leona base model metal shader so fucking good
these tus might not be as readable in current map but they're gonna be great in srvu

not really since they upped contrast to most champions that needed it and diverted color to important sections (head, chest, weapon).

you're still mostly seeing them against the current map background. They're designed to pop on the new map.
the biggest reason for rushing BT was that it was the highest AD item in the game (aside from an unstacked SotO) and it had sustain too.
Nobody's going to rush BT still and nobody should rush BT. It's a defensive item. IE will still be the dominant build because it's the best option for straight damage. Now it's just slightly more expensive.
It's not going to change what people rush.
Just a weird change all around imo. I don't think IEs were being built too early aside from like 14 minute Trist IEs after she gets a quadra at a dragon fight. #balanced.
It just makes ADCs weaker as a whole in the early mid-game and delays their power spike which was already delayed by the switch to IE rush.
If anything it's going to make champions that were already not necessarily in a great spot because of how much later that spike was (Draven) even worse.

These new textures are meant for the new SR, they're not supposed to look good on current SR.
i think the adc landscape won't be changed much till preseason
like maybe just nerfing kog and trist will bring the early game adcs back, i mean i don't even think adcs are in a bad spot right now, it's just that tristana is unbearable and nobody fucking likes her
i would be ok with just gutting trist

I'm aware, I'm trying to imagine them on the new map. The new SR has less clutter, but if they unclutter the textures this much (or maybe it's just Akali and Ori), the end result is going to be the same as now, but with a soft looking map, and soft looking textures.

No need to imagine, it's on video
There's both the old and the new textures on the new map, notice how the new Akali pops much more.

I'd be interested to see what Kog's like if Trist is adequately nerfed. But yeah, aside from Trist being too overbearing I think ADCs are in an ok spot right now.
Some need to be brought up (Draven, Varus, Quinn. Maybe Graves again) but in general I think most carries have their niche they fit into that will change depending on how the meta shifts.
Just hope they go a little further with the Trist nerfs. I do find it funny they spent so long buffing her to try and bring her up to power only to realise that when the game shifted in her favour it became blatantly obvious how toxic her kit is.
yeah they look way better on the new map. They did a great job.
Why would you send 4 people to defend dragon if you're weak enough that a no-item Tristana can quadrakill you at 13 minutes? It would probably hurt your team less to just give up that dragon.
I like Tristana. She's cheery like Teemo, and it would be sad if she got moved to a spot like Vayne where even their own teammates hate them.
Probably because they've been working on these new summoner rift changes for a long time behind the scenes and only now we're seeing the fruits of their labors.

Do you just like... not understand the concept of a 5 v 5 dragon fight or am I missing something here?
Like, you have watched competitive play and played the game recently right?
Don't worry. People hate Vayne because Vayne players are obnoxious about how hard it is to play Vayne.
It will never be hard to play Tristana.

maybe if I have time to ranked again and get gold
you're slightly less of a moron than the majority of solo q so I'm ok duoing with you
just make sure you hit your bubbles unlike the other day 8)
i can see lucy and twitch dominating after trist is gone but damn if that wouldn't be a huge improvement
i think the adc rework in general was a step in the right direction as imo adcs were getting kind of stupidly strong midgames so i would like for riot to wait and see a bit how the adc are after trist is ded.
like if they buff everyone again then what was the point of nerfing bt. i really feel like the adc rework thing was actually really good in direction even if it missed the mark by quite some bit. imo they should just try and push outliers towards the intent of that rework (aka lowering early-mid game strength of adcs and opening up more options) in case they go nuts like trist
altho personally i think trist is an awful champion and should be destroyed
I mean, when Tristana doesn't have any items at 12 minutes, and you still manage to lose four people to her while also giving her all four of those kills instead of kills + assists, you're probably not doing so great anyway. It might be better to wait for a more favorable engage even if it means giving up dragon, so you can focus the Tristana better. If she's forced to jump to escape, she may not be able to contribute well to a fight.
Is your objection solely about her resets for a dragon fight? I suspect many ADC's might be able to buy an Infinity Edge early if someone gave them a quadrakill at 12 minutes.

The point is that because of resets Tristana doesn't need to be strong at 12 or 13 minutes or whatever to get a quadra kill in a dragon fight. All she needs is some low hp targets and like a pickaxe or something to just goomba stomp one after the other and get resets which means more kills. No other ADC has that sort of power and can overcome their apparently weak mid-game like Tristana can.
A well placed Ori ult or something giving her low HP targets will mean kills, early Infinity Edge and probably a won game because Tristana has no counterplay except hope she doesn't get ahead early.
except if you have a corki or a lucian or anyone else who's good at bullying doing their job and bullying her so hard that they bring a B.F sword or sheen/phage to said fight, trist will never do that.
you can't afford to give away dragons early against trist either as that's just giving her free lategame
trist is fucked dude, she needs to go
this is kind of why i hate the idea of "late game" champions
like basically your whole team is depending on one guy that might not be yourself to a) pick something that counters that other champion hard and b) plays it really well to the point the trist or ryze or whatever is completely shut down. and the ryze can just get camped by the jungler and then there's nothing you can do
that's not so cool imo
