Support NeoGAF

[Stone Ocean]

Hmm, that change sounds great

 

[23qwerty]

That's how it should've worked all along imo

That's how I thought it initially worked when I first started playing league. My ADC dreams were crushed quickly.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

A part of me wishes I could go 8-2 or 9-1 in my placements, be placed in Gold V, and take the rest of the season off.

Realistically I'll go 4-6, end up in Silver and lose every game where I have to jungle.

You can dodge placements and it won't count as a loss. This was changed during Season 4 by Riot so smurfs wouldn't dodge all ten matches to get into Bronze V.

you prolly should dodge if you get jungle

5 lp is not much

i don't play ranked much but i would probably dodge if i had to jungle

does it count as one of your 10 games tho?

Luckily I never learned how to attack-move in the first place so I'll have nothing to relearn.

Even thought I am an ADC main I've never really felt the need to use attack-move, but that would be a change for the better.

 

[Nekofrog]

everytime i see an ADC walk into melee range in a teamfight of their own free will i know they're not using attack move.

 

[zkylon]

i use a lot of attack move as kind of a hotkey for "stop and attack nearest creep", actually, so the change might be kind of detrimental for me

unless if there's no enemy around it attacks the closest

i also wonder if this will prioritize champions

 

[iosefe]

5-5, in B4. was B2 last season with similar provisionals. why did they make it harder to be decently mediocre?


):

 

[Skux]

Bad idea. The proposed new functionality has so many catches and exceptions that it makes it less intuitive.

Attack move is attack and move. It means "move here, and if you come across a target along the way, attack it." Prioritising a further away target doesn't make sense. Giving it a different set of rules within a certain invisible range doesn't make sense.

If you want to attack a specific target, you should click on the target and not let the game decide automatically for you.

 

[AzureSkies]

does it count as one of your 10 games tho?

Nope, just counts as a dodge.

 

[Einbroch]

Yay ranked.

0-1, 3v5. One disconnect one rage quit. Fun times...

 

[zkylon]

Nope, just counts as a dodge.

that's good to know, i'll make sure to dodge all my jungles then

fortunately to me top lizzy is in-meta (as in, you don't get trolled by your own team for picking lizzy top even tho i'm like 10-2 in ranked with her), so i only have to dodge one role

I usually only use attack move in bushes.

 

[23qwerty]

So many times I've used attack move into a bush but a minion was too close and I charged back into the minion and it procs hecarim's charge and i crai
This change probably wouldn't change that though huh...

 

[PhillipCostigan]

Dat Kat splash:

Dat Nidalee splash:

Dat Jinx splash:

also new Trist splash:

Archlight Vel'Koz:

Sweetheart Annie:

 

[Saprol]

Nid and Annie's splash arts are really nice but I like other in-game skins more.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

some people are just too dumb to be carried.

 

[DeadNames]

Something seems off with Tristanas new art. I just can't put my finger on it.

Attack on Titan is sick. I've watched so much in the past few days. I just realized they're speaking German in the theme song. I guess it's no coincidence a lot of characters have German sounding names!

 

[drawkcaB]

holy shit

an amazing change, love it.

Going to be amazing for hunting down champs who run into bushes to try to juke you.

And also...

Stalker's Blade, Skirmisher's Sabre, Ranger's Trailblazer, Poacher's Knife

Total cost increased to 850 from 750

What the fuck are you doing Riot...

 

[Wolf Akela]

I'm so gonna buy that Jinx skin.

Nidalee looks nice but I already have several Nidalee skins.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

why does trist look like a doll from chucky.

 

[Ferga]

Are you kidding me with the jungle item costs?

What the fuck?

So does Riot want me to run to a lane to steal 3cs to finish my jungle item or something? Or do they just want me to stay on machete and buy 5 pots?

What?

 

[zkylon]

whoa nice splashes

i think i actually like velkoz' the best

just a very cool scene overall

 

[Newt]

 

[Bob White]

Placements done. Gold 4! Fuck yeah. And with that I'm done with ranked. Only playing to not decay.

 

[Gala]

My placements are horrible so far. 5/6 lost because of afk players, but one win with my fav hero Gangplank <3

 

[Nekofrog]

New Jinx splashart: "I don't have boobies like those other girls, so here, look up my dress!"

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Gold no longer decays.

 

[Bob White]

And I swear, Zyra support is still stupid strong.

Gold no longer decays.

Wait...wut? Got a link? If I can ride out the year and play teambuilder with my junglers, I'll be so fucking happy. No stress league? Sign me up.

[zkylon]

i really like trist splash, she looks like a disney character

also non-downsampled jinx splash is much better

those colors are so good

i hope it's 975

 

[Peanut Butter]

That Kat spash is funny. Her waist is like 2 inches wide.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Are we talking about broken anatomy?

 

[zkylon]

i wonder if new trist will still bobble about when walking or she'll actually have a proper animation

I usually only use attack move in bushes.

that's why i'm a scrub and you're diamond i guess

 

[Ghost is Bad]

my rmb is so broke.

 

[23qwerty]

my rmb is so broke.

hard mode engage

 

[Ghost is Bad]

nah i just bound it to my a key.

 

[Pancakes]

I have no idea what I was doing but it was ok.

Rex senpai, teach me your ways.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Oh no. That green hair streak. Can't...

Those super long hair ties look kind of meh.

EDIT:
Anyone else think that new Tristana splash art looks off?

 

[Fracas]

Hecarim feels pretty strong in the new patch. First clear isn't great, but he gets a lot better soon after. Been going Warrior+Triforce into full tank.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Oh no. That green hair streak. Can't...

EDIT:

New Tristana looks off to me in general. She just looks like a midget Soraka.

I wish she was pudgy like Teemo.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Smurfing is hilarious. Neither team had a champ that took smite. :|

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

No AFK's or fights over roles which was nice. Vayne was overconfident when she was out-CS'ing Ez early so we always pushed to their tower. Vayne was overconfident in general.

Faking out Blitz hooks is fun.

EDIT: What is Vel'koz doing?

 

[Bungie's]

I have no idea what I was doing but it was ok.

Rex senpai, teach me your ways.

play your placement matches

 

[Pancakes]

play your placement matches

My plat friend played his placement matches and got placed into silver. I ain't going back to silver.

 

[Bungie's]

1-2 so far
im ok with going back to gold but silver.. no ty

 

[Jeff-DSA]

My buddy was Plat 3 at the end of the preseason. Went 6-4 and ended up in Gold 2. WTF? So I guess I'll drop from Gold 4 to Silver 3 or something stupid like that.

 

[Leezard]

My plat friend played his placement matches and got placed into silver. I ain't going back to silver.

Plat to silver sounds bizarre. That's a real drop.
