This extra saturation looks nice.
But I dunno, I like both what we have now, and that pic.

the thing with the saturation is that riot deliberately moved to a more muted palette to make champs and abilities pop more.

Yeah. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about the map looks dull and....blurry? Call me crazy. The champs don't look like they belong. Like a bad fan mod.

Champs are too bright.

They are too bright, or map not bright enough.
I played the original map again for a bit, and the original does look more detailed. So the new one feels less detailed / softer, yet runs worse for some people.
Well, the new map is definitely a visual upgrade, even though it's less detailed.
Also, looks as if Ocho redeemed himself.

Damn. That's how to play a support! I must not play enough, but I've never gone against a Brand support either.
One positive about the new map? I love the new sound effects as the towers go pew pew. One of the side's towers make a bit of a dull phoomp sound. It sounds awesome.

I have my settings cranked to max also on a 1440p monitor, but I guess I'm coming off too harsh on the new map. My only complaint is that the champs don't seem to mesh well with the map, color scheme wise. Everything else is a positive for me.
All I really care about right now is when I can get my hands on Kalista!

Still getting 100+ FPS on the new SR. Definitely looks cleaner and modern.

I got some wierd framerate drops while jungling in the new map and I know others have too.

probably some texture overlap causing some sort of processing problem.

Keep trying. It would close for me like 3 times and then work.

It definitely does have less polys. Just look at the pointiness of every single tree in the old map. In new SR, lots of trees have been replaced in favor of smooth rocks or trunks. I think I read certain parts that are not visible by the camera aren't even visible, so if the camera was rotated it'd be empty.
Smarter use of polys overall. I'm just sad that I still get an excessive amount of lag at the start of the match, even though I'm on an SSD.

The real struggle: Waiting for a support in Team Builder while you're a AP Kog'Maw mid. Oh, and a ADC Twisted Fate.
I've never seen so many people move on.

Tip: youll never find teambuilder supports because apparently theyre still an endangered species there so you either invite one or be one.
Had someone whom I've only played once ask me to join their TB lol.. It felt like being a White Mage or a tank on FFXI when leveling in parties was still a thing haha.
I love the new map, it's so pretty! All the fireflies things, little frogs and shit, idk. I think it's really purdy.
btw, I haven't played ranked matches since I did my placements but my MMR on op.gg says it's lower than where it should be (like roughly 100 points) in Silver II, should I worry? I haven't felt like doing ranked after reading that people are trolling ("preseason who cares lel") on reddit.

Junglers and Supports are always last picks in teambuilder just like everywhere else.
This is the story of how I became a support / jungler main.

TB tip: don't ever bother waiting for more than 3 minutes. That'll speed things up.

That's what ranked is for.
Same here, and I'm really curious if it's a legitimate concern because I'm really getting the ranked itch. Knowing this community it probably is
Laned against an AP Jinx in 3s today. First time I've felt like I was good at this game in a long while
I wanted to use post/pre-season to work on my other roles but I'm scared that if it's just going to be demotion due to trolls might as well just skip and work on that on normals (ew).
Btw, the people trying to justify that leaver-buster is unfair to people that get disconnected? I don't see how, if you get it randomly every once in a while (say once a week or every two weeks) you probably have nothing to worry about it. If it happens more often than that, why are you bothering playing an intense pvp-online experience??
I would understand if League had a TF2 feel, but it doesn't. You disconnecting is fucking over 4 other people (9 potentially).
I don't think I'm being too harsh either. I've had friends of mine disconnect before and it sucks, and they acknowledged to not queue after said game. Don't see why that is so hard for some people to do.
It is available in the co-op vs AI playlist.
/comfort ._.
You know what, I take back what I said about Trick2G on our last thread. He is currently commenting on a replay of a game of his on proxy Udyr. To be honest that's not my cup of tea but it's always nice to learn the inside and out of certain strategies, even if you won't be doing them yourself. He's being really informative and you know, not so "in character" as he might be sometimes.
Today I had a coop vs AI game where 2 of our team mates had disconnected and I was playing Nami with a Draven and Akali that were really new to the champions and not too great overall. ;x I had to go on bossy-mode (while polite) and command them lol.
Was fun though, and earned 2 Teamwork honors!

I totally agree with you, you get so many Trick-wannabe-Udyrs but you know, generally on his stream he tells you when to and when not to, so not really his fault people don't know how to proxy/use Udyr. Just league community.. monkey see, monkey do, but wrong. lol
I stopped watching him consistently when he stopped playing Volibear. He plays so insanely aggressive on Voli and it was so fun to watch.

I really really liked Nidalee when I played her before her nerfs. Not sure how she is now. Might have to try AP Nidalee.
Interesting. I'll have to try that. He's a very good Nidalee player.

Looks like Riot are going for a solo queue focussed set of nerfs, judging by the current PBE.
Rammus, Amumu, Sona, Fiora, Katarina, Warwick, Gnar and Kha'Zix all nerfed. I guess Janna or Fiddlesticks will take over the #1 winrate on the next patch and the Rammus/Amumu era is coming to a close.
