Zed can be old-school Shredder, and Akali gets the Ibuki skin.

i wish riot would release a jayce skin without his big hammer

bt is also better now since 20% lifesteal is delicious. i should probably go back to rushing it again, i really like having so much lifesteal early on

ppl should always bear in mind that shit changes from game to game so with the exception of your sightstone everything else is pretty situational (and sighstone too sometimes, even).
i don't like buying ap on supports that aren't annie so i'll usually just go for mikaels even on like thresh and sometimes leona. also if i somehow find myself with 1k gold i like buying an early giants belt and just leaving it there since it makes you really hard to kill.
damage shouldn't be priority, which is why items that sound good on some champions like zhonyas on morgana and sunfire cape on leona shouldn't really be bought. just focus on utility and peel and stuff that lets you get pick off, that's your #1 priority as support
well fat hands are kind of her identity so not really :/
they could do skins without robot hands tho, like boxing gloves or mutated void hands or something

They probably couldn't make a glove-less Vi skin even if they wanted to. Rigging and all that shizz
Unless it's a Legendary of course

u don't know how rigging works
u cute :3
but no from an animation standpoint it'd be really easy
now giving vi wings
that'd be hard
this is #1 reason
and you know, identity
her spells are about punching shit, her personality is girl that punches shit, she comes from piltover land of making goofy mechanical shit
she is __fat hands__

switch the fat from her hands to her thighs.

Isn't rigging her skeleton thingy that you do animations on top of?
I'd assume that the rig or whatever in her hands is meant for big hands since she can move her fingers and shit. Either that or I'm talking out of my butt so feel free to correct me.
well since her robo hands don't do anything that regular hands can't do it'd just be a matter of scaling down her bones and readjusting for proportions (big finger is probably not exactly where it should be, etc.)
it'd be a bit of work like everything but since hands are a really overdone thing in league (like 80% of the champions has em) they can just port hands from another champion if they need em, stuff like that
it's also likely vi herself has regular hands under her robo-arms, not fully rigged for fingers and stuff but probably completely modeled
overall it's not a big deal, think like in skyrim how they use the single same skeleton for every human in the game, be it fat or thin or tall or short or man or woman and it works ok. if bethesda characters received 1/10th of the care and love league champions do they might not look like total shit either :>
totally used this opportunity to shit on skyrim a bit :>
yup
basically it's not a rigging issue but general production stuff of making brand new shit that looks cool without big ass gloves
all of this from my own experience working with animators btw, i dunno how riot themselves do things but my bet is that they set everything up to be really tuneable so they can make skins easy
well all em donuts already went to her ass, so like give the girl a chance
I don't think we shoulda won this... That Shaco was giving me the biz. I was like 1-6 to start only because we managed to kill each other once. Then we won a big teamfight and just yolo pushed mid. Still feels crappy to be a feeder.

You deserve to have won. Shaco scales poorly and that ashe is horrible.

Do you guys even know how rigging works. pls.
Riot could delete the glove mesh, enlarge or shrink them or even replace them with giant sausages with minimal effort and the animations would still work. They'd look weird obviously, but it wouldn't break it.
I loaded it up, seems like Vi's rig actually includes unused (?) hand joints for normal sized proportions (the arm mesh cuts at the elbow). The giant hands are a separate mesh with an additional array of bones for it to animate. Now, rescaling the bones would fuck up the animations. But basically they can put a couple normal sized arms, delete the glove mesh and it'll kinda work, tho obviously all of the attacks and particles and whatever associated will not make much sense.
The most basic solution would be keeping the gloves, giving them an "energy" transparent shader and having normal hands inside.

most would do, it's just that not many benefit from trinity force
melee champions main issue in life is not being able to either gapclose or stick to kiting ranged champions. so like something that speeds you up once you got there is great for someone like jax that already has a gapcloser and can make great use of the attack speed thanks to ult passive
you don't buy phage on most melee tho cos trinity force gives a lot of stats that melees don't care for and also cos a lot of melees are straight up tanks or have gapclosers+cc which already do the job for em
so yea if phage built on frozen mallet again and frozen mallet wasn't shit you might see more melees buying it but then again having speed up and slow together is kind of a kayle kind of thing no one wants to see

i need more thresh skins
riot pls.
riot pls.
tbh i don't think you'll get your wish
it's like having ezreal with a gun or lux without a staff, weapons are kept in i think all the skins
like i can see them making her with a bit less over-sized hands but that's about it
but hey if neon vi is enough for you, that skin is pretty dope
i'm pretty pleased with cthulhu threshie but sure
most champions could use more skins

I tried Vlad because I didn't know what to play against Pantheon. It turned out I was laning against Fiora anyway.
Regarding Vlad, I can sort of see how he can do damage, and if you use his W at a very clever time and don't get baited, you can dodge some stuff (though it does not drop Fizz ult, and I'm not sure if the damage is cancelled). I had trouble reacting quickly enough to dodge things in general though, like Fizz dash. Or maybe that's just how it works.
At any rate, the main thing I noticed is that Vlad autoattack feels REALLY weird. It's like it is very delayed or something. I felt as though I might as well use E and Q to last hit instead.

I would like all of you to just take a look at this match.
Amumu and Yasuo were feeding so hard. I was doing okay, but they kept acing us and acing us. I honestly though we were gonna lose and got a little carried away with my anger... :/. Anyways, everyone wants to FF but I go full fuckin' commando and be like "Amumu, ult when Kat does. I will Q onto 5 of them, then I want Yasuo to press R. Nami, slow any stragglers and peel for Lucian".
The moment of truth. They all jump over the wall of our base. I get a nice Q on their fed Kat, Amumu lands a 5 man ult, Nami ults, Yasuo ults off of that. In those four sweet seconds of asking where they were at, I swear I heard angels weeping.

If he's famous for that troll build then maybe? I wish I could tell who smurfs belonged to sometimes it'd be really interesting knowing if some of these crazy players I've encountered who are 22-1 as Akali or 47-11 as Rengar are pro players.

phantoml0rd is a streamer who once had the cops called on him by some weirdo hackers.
Well that tp/revive strat is the only summoners phantom uses as karth. I'm guessing people starting using it also, well a small amount of people lol.
while streaming and making tons of money
he then did like a very whiny q&a
and it was the less annoying stream he ever did
He was a pro player for a small amount of time a few years back. He is known for his Revive/Teleport suicide Karthus and actually played it a bit in some tourneys. It's really fun to watch. He also mains Ziggs and Syndra though. He's also pretty known for getting extremely frustrated/angry and just start screaming and throwing shit on his stream. It's pretty funny sometimes. Every once in a while he'll be pretty informative when he fucks up/gets killed or gets a kill himself.
Also, he's a huge metal head and invented Donger Dash (look it up).
Even the games I win are full of toxic assholes. This fiora raged at us all game cause she lost lane to a tp malphite. She kept getting caught randomly in the enemy jungle and I asked her to group because we need her Ult with galio....in response she says afk.

We all had to beg her to play while defending mid inhib tower which felt like shit. Reported her after.
On the bright side the nami carry is strong. So many flash bubbles landed, stuns cleansed and long range ults for rengar and fiora to catch.
