Upgrade your trinkets. It's only 250 gold.

I do it every game, but I would bet that less than 10% do it in my games aside from me.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

because everyone remembers when it was a piece of shit.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

I'm currently in bronze 2 and its only slightly worse than silver 3.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Wow, the new friend list status thingy is cool as fuck

 

[Ghost is Bad]

they changed it?

hadn't noticed.

 

[zkylon]

just realized dragon number 3 gives hecarim ad lol

 

[Stone Ocean]

they changed it?

It was in this patch but it didn't go live until today I think. Now you get to know if the person is playing ranked and the exact timer on the match plus some other stuff, it's pretty cool.

That's awesome. Maybe I can actually start playing with friends again

 

[bidguy]

[zkylon]

good luck

i think my gold series went WWLLW, so it's never really that easy

 

[Dance Inferno]

I've had the same issue, but it fixed itself. Try repairing your client.

How do I do that? I tried clicking the little gear symbol in the client but there was no option to repair.

[zkylon]

Lissandra

I remember when that used to happen...once upon a time, in a golden land.

Yes, unfortunately. I lost a promo the same way once, but it was just to go up a division, not a full tier.

 

[zkylon]

i think it's an acceptable nerf for lizzy, she'll still be top tier

 

[Fracas]

Vi

Movement speed lowered to 345 from 350

That'll teach her!

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Skarner buffs? That's awesome.

That'll teach her!

Oh good, she still has "press R to delete carry" in her kit.

 

[zkylon]

That'll teach her!

dude

Assault and Battery [R] - Damage reduced to 150/300/450 (down from 200/325/450)

 

[Stone Ocean]

dude

Assault and Battery [R] - Damage reduced to 150/300/450 (down from 200/325/450)

That won't really change much lol

If they want to nerf Vi, they need to touch the W damage.

 

[zkylon]

cho looking good

wish he was a bit smoother tho, he looks too dirty

also apparently tank enchant is now sunfire cape:

Enchantment : Cinderhulk
+350 Health
+25% Bonus Health
UNIQUE Passive - Immolate: While in combat, deals 15 (+1 per champion level) magic damage a second to nearby enemies. This increases up to 100% based on time in combat.

That won't really change much lol

just saying, it's not only 5ms

I can feel Crab's disdain already

 

[zkylon]

drawkab where you at you're missing the tank hentai

also random tristana buff that's most certainly not gonna be a terrible decision:

Tristana
Rapid Fire (Q) New Effect: Rapid Fire's cooldown is reduced by 1 second each time Tristana basic attacks an enemy marked with Explosive charge

 

[Stone Ocean]

also random tristana buff that's most certainly not gonna be a terrible decision:

Well it makes sense, she has this whole combo kit and her Q is just there. Not that 4 seconds will change much.

Also

Nautilus
Riptide [E] - AP Ratio now .3 (down from .5) and now slows for 1.3 seconds (down from 2). Mana cost reduced to 40/50/60/70/80 (down from 60/70/80/90/100). Cooldown reduced to 6/5.5/5/4.5/4 (down from 10 seconds across all ranks)
Titan's Wrath [W] - Now deals 15/30/45/60/75 (down from 40/55/70/85/100)

Gonna need some major context on those W changes lol

[Musician]

E used to be
RANGE: 600
COST: 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 mana
COOLDOWN: 10
Magic Damage per Wave: 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+ 50% AP)
Slow: 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50%
Enemies take 50% less damage from explosions beyond the first that hits them.
Maximum Magic Damage: 120 / 200 / 280 / 360 / 440 (+ 100% AP)
Slow decay 2 seconds

Will now be

RANGE: 600
COST: 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 mana
COOLDOWN: 6/5.5/5/4.5/4
Magic Damage per Wave: 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+ 30% AP)
Slow: 30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50%
Enemies take 50% less damage from explosions beyond the first that hits them.
Maximum Magic Damage: 120 / 200 / 280 / 360 / 440 (+ 100% AP)
Slow decay 1.3 seconds

With 40% CDR you'll get down to 2.4 second CD.

220 dmg
50% slow over 1.3 seconds
Every 2.4 seconds

I'll take the W nerf every day.

naut buffs look questionable

Yeah, I doubt it'll go through. One can hope though! Someone needs to take my jungler spot after Kayle got shafted.

 

[Blizzard]

Wait, so the Nautilus buff consists of a weaker W and E...but you can use E more often?

That seems like an outright nerf to getting any sort of burst damage out of Nautilus, which was one of the nice things about him.

 

[Sande]

Our team has Ezreal, Tryndamere and Sona premade bot. I should have stayed in ranked.
Edit: Nevermind, they were trolling. Still, Trynd support...

What? Nautilus isn't about burst at all.

 

[Blizzard]

Is the invisible spear exclusive to Headhunter Nid?

I didn't notice anyone else replying, but I think that's the case? I really dislike that skin, and I think I've heard people say the spears sometimes go through minions with it too.

Finally unlocked all champions with just IP, been playing since beta haha

Congratulations! I finally got Aatrox and only have Zac left. But, I have 2057 IP and Bard is about to come out, so it'll still be another month or so before I can finish the pokemons.

What? Nautilus isn't about burst at all.

It was fun to surprise people with the W + E damage as a gimmick top lane or ARAM AP build. I'm just not sure how much this Nautilus change will help him, but I'm happy if I end up being wrong.

 

[Musician]

Ah. That explains it. Heck, it even took me a while to realize that the nerfed damage was a lowered ap-ratio, not base dmg, because who the hell builds ap on nautilus anyway?

 

[Tizoc]

At least it'll help him clear minion waves better? Just a thought

That Urgt change is interesting though.

 

[Mister Negative]

Not too sure about those W changes for naut but the E changes seem nice. Seems like Riot wants him maxing E instead of W.

Xin changes are kinda whatever

sion and sej are going to be doing so much damage just by existing in the enemy teams line.

 

[drawkcaB]

drawkab where you at you're missing the tank hentai

Sorry. There's a mess on the walls around the computer I had to tend to.

Really surprised at the Nautilus changes (because I think they might be OP as hell if there aren't more changes than what's listed). Most people don't realize this, but:

Active: Nautilus slams the ground, causing a ring of explosions to radiate out from him in 3 waves. Each explosion deals magic damage to enemies in the area and Slow icon slows them, decaying over 2 seconds.

The three blasts overlap each other a little bit. In practical terms it means that Nautilus is quite a bit more likely to hit you for two blasts than one*, so the 220 rank 5 damage is misleading. You're more likely to be hit by 2 blasts (330 damage). It's easy to miss because by the time Nautilus has a few ranks in E his damage is already tapering off because he isn't building AP and he's generally attacking bruisers/tanks while peeling.

*larger champions (e.g. Trundle sized and up) will generally take all three blasts if Naut lands an AA at max AA range then Es immediately after.

So...thanks for the 330 AoE nuke on a 4 second CD Riot!

 

[zkylon]

yeah it's true if you max e first now you'll have a lot of damage

i wonder if he'll be a laner now, that's a lot of waveclear he just got

 

[Stone Ocean]

Don't jinx it!

 

[Mister Negative]

The text in the post is a little hard to parse. When they say "mini sunfire aura (now the immolate aura)" they don't mean that Sunfire ALSO has that aura, right?

 

[drawkcaB]

If you can weather the opponent's early game, yes absolutely possible in top lane.

Xin changes are kinda whatever

I will eat your babies bitch!

 

[Mister Negative]

an extra four health per W proc might as well be nothing. The E change is definitely nice for his clear though. Just doesn't seem like one of those changes that's extremely noticeable.

 

[Tizoc]

So...thanks for the 330 AoE nuke on a 4 second CD Riot!

Should mana be a concern in this case though?

 

[Negaduck]

Phew. Voli buff is more quality of life than a straight buff. Most times I just don't bit jungle camps if I'm ganking because of the cool down.

I was worried he got buffed.

 

[Musician]

The text in the post is a little hard to parse. When they say "mini sunfire aura (now the immolate aura)" they don't mean that Sunfire ALSO has that aura, right?

Think I saw a change that changed the passive on sunfire to the same one and made it unique...

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Skarner is back in action.

 

[Mister Negative]

Ah yeah now that I look I see that there's a sunfire change listed but for me it just shows as a white box.

 

[Pandaman]

i don't believe sunfire's passive has a name, so unless there's a patchnote giving it a name they should both work.
