Legitimately the most fun game I've played in a long time. So many surrender votes were declined 3-2. Team morale shifts were insane. They were up 4 dragons to 0 at one point and Jinx was 10-3 early on

Slows don't stack like that

You're wasting 3000 gold to get like 2% more slow on the Q

Oh really? Well morello it is then.
And compared to at least morello the difference is 900 gold.

dont believe his lies

tho not saying ryalais is good on karma

 

[MrCookiepants]

Ever since urf was released I've been getting insane lag spikes. i've stopped playing normal 5v5's entirely because of it.

I don't know if it's on my end or what. It never used to be like this.

My ping on the NA server has gone from 96 to 100 or so recently, possibly with visible lag-outs though the ping display remains constant. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with what you're seeing.

 

[jerd]

Pobelter bitched for an entire game a couple of days ago about his 80 ping and how hard "80 ping yasuo" is lol

 

[WesternHeretic]

My ping is 20 most of the time but i do remember having one 100+ ping game. I didn't notice any difference, but i play with crappy fps so it might not matter.

 

[AzureSkies]

My ping used to be 29, it's been 39 for the past few months.

I can't complain too much, there's barely a difference lol

 

[jerd]

I play with 90 ping but went to the west coast last year and played on 19 ping for a couple of weeks. It was nice I guess but nothing that changed how well I played or anything. As long as you're under 100 you're fine imo

Yeah, it says my ping is 30-40, but that lag spikes are insane.

 

[Newt]

I tried Ludens on Kayle. Feels really good.

 

[Ferga]

I wish the smite actives on Stalkers and skirmishers were on one jungle item...

I want them both on my tanks.. even though that would be broken..

They should just remove the aura from cinderhulk and just give it a permanent skirmisher's true dmg dot.

bringing the picks this round.

I highly recommend the Score's eSports app. You can pick your favourite teams for updates to your phone as well as game starts, in-game stats etc. It's actually a great app.

Playing some monster hunter when this happens

Newt you never told us you had good taste in games

 

[Ferga]

I also met Newt a few weeks ago. Also saw a guy called neko frog

 

[Kangi]

Carried two Rioters in URF with Fizz.

Next game, they're on the other team and one of them banned Fizz.

So I picked LeBlanc and made sure he spent more time dead than alive.

Seeing Blitz players whining on reddit about the nerfs makes me moist

So long, steam asshole

dont believe his lies

tho not saying ryalais is good on karma

It's not a lie though, using Rylai with spells that already slow barely increases the slow amount, specially if it's AoE

Wait what about kayle's q? It wont reduce more move speed if she has rylai's?

 

[Leezard]

It will, but it will increase it just barely.

Slow stacking works like this:

enemy has 100% speed, you apply 40% slow. Enemy now has 60% speed. You apply another 20% slow, which reduces the speed by 20% of 60%, which is 12%. In total, you have a 52% slow. There are quite some diminishing returns for slows.

 

[Stone Ocean]

You don't apply the full second slow, you apply it reduced by 65% of the effectiveness, so if you say, use an AoE spell that slows plus Rylai you get a 5% extra slow while single target abilities will give you like 10% extra.

A 40% slow plus a 20% slow will slow by ~44%.

Oh, it's even worse than I thought? That's really bad.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Yup, it's why Rylai is sorta niche even though it's a pretty good item, it's very easy for the slow to go to waste on many AP champions.

 

[Orochinagis]

Dammit zkylon

 

[Tizoc]

So what champions is Rylai's good on?
I recall it being OK on Fiddle, but I've never actually built it on any of the AP champs I've played.

Cass, Ahri, Akali, Amumu, Karthus, Brand, Morde, Rumble, Singed, Zyra, Vlad

 

[Negaduck]

This Garen is so dope.

 

[CornBurrito]

Steroid ultimates are so boring. Otherwise I find Twitch to be a fun character.

 

[Newt]

Nice to get a free win because some idiot Amumu decided to build magus, lol.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Magus ain't bad on Amumu at all.

Steroid ultimates are so boring. Otherwise I find Twitch to be a fun character.

I think Vayne's ultimate is fun just because of the sheer cohesion of her entire kit.

 

[Newt]

Magus ain't bad on Amumu at all.

Nah, Magus is complete shit on Amumu, and there's literally no reason to build it considering how strong Cinderhulk is. AP isn't needed on a tank initiator, and he can clear just as well with the sunfire passive now.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Cinderhulk is great now, but if you like to play AP Amumu (Magus, Rylai, Liandry, Abyssal, etc) it's still fine. I wouldn't want the game to drag though. Like, it's something I would do if I intend to end the game earlier. Been whooped by really good AP Amumus before.

 

[Nekofrog]

Ranked 5s - yeah but janna lived doe (bonus: nexus turret 1 auto from losing the game BUT--)

Oh, I see your issue. Yeah, this is bad.

It's a gimp, nothing more.

 

[Newt]

Me and Ghost are playing with ZionSpartan!

 

[Nekofrog]

and he gives up first blood vs poopy lol

 

[Newt]

Lucian was so salty, lol.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

he called me chauster.

[Newt]

Maybe I should give up on ADC and play Kayle every game. So good in this tank meta.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Poor Newt talking to himself again. Everyone left and here he's waiting for someone to say gg back.
