Is there some oddball here who actually has a Steam copy of League? I wonder if they keep it updated.

Congratulations. You have finally beaten LoL. Do you want to try new game plus and get to challenger?

I need to start roaming the map when I'm Swain and the mid champ isn't around, this is one thing I've not been doing since I started using him.
...but damn does he need a VU, etc. hope they get around to him after Victor.
Guess I'll go for that, although I'm down to like 1000ish IP, so will see what I can get in a few days

Amazing post on GD
Also I swear to god Draven suffers from the retarded clown phenomenon. Literally every Draven i'm put with is god-fucking-AWFUL, but their draven is 1v5ing at the 20 minute mark.

I wonder how top has evolved to the "go nuts" lane.
ur probably getting matched with my buddy who started playing draven again this week
What's his summoner name?
Guys, guys. I have a major announcement. I just had a Vayne on my team that carried and wasn't toxic. I'm not making it up. I got her going early with some ganks and then it got nasty fairly quickly.
Fiora is so fun in the jungle. Not the best at the role, but man, if you get her rolling she's a monster.

Wasn't that the whole point of the recent reboot? For all anyone knows, the champions haven't fought each other in the rift. That being said I'd like to see the gameplay still have some relation to the story like it did in the L5R card game, where future iterations of the card and the storyline reflected major tourneys/player votes. Like, the emperor of Shurima depends on which champions do well. Granted, under the currrent meta, looks like Xerath defeats Azir.

Great, the non lp decay planned backfired.
There goes the dream...
Not for long. W is already in Riot's sights. Welcome the change, I hear it's good.
Who the hell buys Infinity Edge on Darius? Seems like a waste in an otherwise great VO set.

The kit in general looks quite strong, I'm having trouble figuring out how the specific numbers pan out though. I didn't have any prior intentions of doing so, but I think I'll try out new Soraka at some point in the near future. Playing as and against old Soraka left a bad taste in my mouth.
NIIIIIIIICE
The news here is that the team with Vayne and Fiora jungle didn't lose!
Don't level E second.
Only reason to ever level up E is to shorten its cooldown but it works as a reset so there's no point

Yes.
Iirc they stopped updating it around late 2010. I remember getting quite a bit of errors when updating via Steam back then, so I simply switched out of it. They still have their own forum- section, oddly enough.
I'm pretty excited about newraka. I'm not quite sure what to build on her yet. Coin, Zhonya's, Mercs are inevitable. Vesh suggested Frozen Heart but I don't see that. He also said GA which is a little better. Pretty sure Spirit Visage is a net minus for her. It's also unfortunate that building a Sightstone will make Soraka's heal more expensive.
Her E is actually kind of huge, and now does damage. I feel like that's going to be really quite strong in teamfights, especially near objectives.
Should be pretty interesting!

What's odd about that?
uh, the builds.
Top lane Maokai with Golem is pretty unfortunate. TP/Smite Yi with distortion also seems basically like a bad idea.
Everything looks pretty normal to me... Maybe I'm missing something?
Ohh, just realized he wasn't jungle looool.
How does our jungler, who is in Gold die trying to solo dragon? How does she constantly feed? How does our Janna not buy a single ward and end up buying Thornmail and still be in Gold?
These had to be purchased/boosted accounts, right? The two Gold players were easily the two worst on our team.
Maybe I want to go back to low Silver. People seem smarter there.

I like that at least that Janna wasn't fucking around. She didn't build a little tank, she built full tank, fuck the meta.
That's actually pretty normal.

I am now hype for the new Garen changes
Aren't Golem and Elder Lizard Epic Monsters though?
Reading up on Soraka's changes (at work so i can't watch videos or various websites) what happens if you use her heal on herself, or is that no longer possible?
New Viktor is intriguing, his Q gives him the shield when you cast it it seems, as opposed to say Kassadin's projectile.
Do his 3 offensive abilities even Crit hit? I mean yeah the damage and crit chance is nice, but I too don't see any benefit from it.

I think Lizard and Golem are counted as Large Monster.
No longer possible.
I just wanted to chime in and say that support vel'koz is legit, don't listen to those who say otherwise. There is definitely some skill cap involved in playing that well.

Stealin' buffs and camps while enemy jungler's down/away. Neat way to reclaim some health.

Vel'Koz has pretty strong bases, decent CC and very low mana costs. He's good at zoning similar to Zyra.
i like lebonk buffs, as someone that really enjoyed playing her while everyone was banning her and hating her i gotta say i'm happy they went and buffed her juking which is the most fun part about her kit
like they say in the rundown thingie, buffing her in this direction will make her a more unique champion among her assassin peers, so like zed's a splitpusher, ahri's a mage/assassin hybrid and lebonk will be jukemaster.
she'll prolly need a bit more help tho
i mean i guess what's interesting is not so much that they're the only ones without hard cc but that all the supports they've added since i started playing had so much of it, specially with morg and zyra and annie suddenly turning support and stuff
that sounds super frustrating to play against

yea i wasn't sure if that counts since it's kind of a weird silence thing but sure if you think it's only sona and zilean it's even more interesting

i don't get why riot gave her an instant ranged aoe silence->root

You can at least walk out of it. It's no longer countered by Braum and Yasuo!
I haven't played her yet so I dunno how it works in practice, but anything is better than the old passive heal bot Soraka. That was boring to play and to play against.

It only lasts for a second and only for as long as you sit on it. If she hits you at the edge of the AoE and you walk out, you can cast spells again.

Someone teach me how you deal with solo ranked, it's just so unbearable xD
1st game our ashe decided to stand in front of the team all the time, so she get's stunlocked and has no escape .....
http://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/1708533734/29056505
2nd game other team's adc has dc, so we get ahead and win even though it's almost thrown
http://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/1708539100/29056505
3rd game ...... I pick riven top and yi is picked for jgl. Follow up composition: Akali/Lux and caitlyn. Neither akali or lux can decide who goes where, so we end up with no exhaust :/
At blue buff I say like "care for ww's ult since we have no tanks", and yi asks "What is WW's ult???" .....? ....? -__-
So yeah, yi trolls entire game and we end up losing it.

I find most players aren't toxic if they get fed and are winning. However I had this Rengar one game who got sooooo pissed at us for not pushing mid. It was like 25-3 with us dominating. Never seen a guy on the winning team get so angry. Wasn't even ranked...
i dunno i see it possibly as a pretty annoying thing specially coupled with her slow and hard cc from some other champion like jinx or ashe or a jungle gank.
yea that's why that rito message of "players that have negative attitude lose 68% or something more games". well no shit rito who has a negative attitude when winning
it's a nerf -_-
