yeah

the speculation now is which syndra spell will get broken next :>

 

[Stone Ocean]

I bet Riot can bug her passive even though she doesn't have one

 

[Einbroch]

Purple is a cancerous color in this game.

 

[Leezard]

Lulu is offended

 

[Stone Ocean]

Fuck Malzahar though

9 placement matches done.. record: 4-5. Lol.

Is there hope for my MMR though? My last match consisted of all high gold/low plat. To be fair though, the low plat were all Plat V so who knows what trash their MMR was. That match was a win too. I just don't want to be placed in Silver. I finished Gold III last season. Hopefully that carries me to a nice Gold placement despite the shit record.

I've actually been playing pretty well lately, minus my Kalista games. I just don't play a good Kalista I guess. Too focused on her mechanics and making silly mistakes that I wouldn't with a champ I'm super comfortable with. I think I'd have the same issues with Draven.

Plus I really hate hurricane as an item.

Accept your silver fate and just start the climb again if you want.

Riot really botched the placement MMR system imo.

Nooo. I refuse.

Silver I was terrible.

Placements are so bad. It took me over 5 min to get a game yesterday. The MMR swings are huge. After losing a few I was playing with Silvers, win a few then I'm playing with Plats.

I was plat 5 and went 5-5 in placements and got dumped back into silver 1, it's gonna happen bro. I got back to gold 5 for the skin and then decided ranked isn't worth the time and hassle if Riot is just gonna erase half your progress next season.

 

[Einbroch]

They should really make the champion skin requirement for ranked Platinum and give Gold a ward skin.

Literally the only reason I'm playing ranked right now is because the normal games suck. At least MOST of the ranked games I've played have been pretty good games and people actually put a little effort into it.

I'd like to say I don't care about my rank but that's not true. I care as long as I'm a minimum gold lol. Plat 5 to Silver 1 is harsh though

If you face people in that mmr it should hopefully be a good placement.

Why? Silver 1 is a pretty considerable hurdle

I played Plat 3 people for my promos and went 6-4

Got sent to Silver 1

Dammit. Don't say that lol.

Guess I'll find out when I play that last game. Sigh. I'm expecting Silver.

the swimsuit compendium is up

get premading, neogaf

i want those funny looking minions

That sounds terrible, really. Isn't it possible to skip Silver-> Gold promos if you have good enough mmr?

Any idea when the skins are up?

 

[zkylon]

i think next week at the end of the pool party week thingie

 

[Stone Ocean]

It's possible, but Riot's math mumbo jumbo isn't always fair

 

[Pancakes]

Unless you're smurfing all the way from your very first placement matches this won't happen. I jumped from Gold 5 to Gold 3 when I was on that climb and I was on something like a 12 game winning streak.

 

[Leezard]

I mean if you're facing Plat players in silver that should be smurfing-tier.

i think next week at the end of the pool party week thingie

That sucks, I want to see them now

 

[sleepykyo]

So what caused J4 to disappear?

Seems like he is really squishy and can't make those early ganks. So Gragas and Rek work for early ganks and Sej works for late ganks.

 

[Pancakes]

You would think so, but every plat player I knew got knocked back down into gold and silver as well so it's not as simple. They may have plat borders but the system rates them as goldish MMR.

 

[zkylon]

im gonna end up buying this skin am i

 

[killatopak]

dat zac face lololol

Edit: Just bought Quinn. Should I use her top lane or ADC at the current meta?

 

[Newt]

Pankaks you deserve silver the way you were playing in those placements lol.

 

[Pancakes]

Moobeat posted this on reddit in a Lucian buff thread.

Miss Fortune is up for some gameplay work alongside her visual updates, would be nice to see her nudged up!

Return of the curse of the sad bullet time?

Pankaks you deserve silver the way you were playing in those placements lol.

lol, okay buddy.

Only mistake was jumping into placements too soon since most people were rusty and just starting to come back resulting in super skewed unfun games

 

[sleepykyo]

Is there is site that does the math of the changes? I can't remember Malph's old abilities so I'm not sure if the changes are really beneficial buff or if it is simply a placebo effect.

 

[zkylon]

they already talked about mf, they'er making her e better and i'm not sure if anything else

would love to see her back tho, i love mf

i'm on a kaly mood lately tho

She needs a lot more than just a make it rain buff. Probably something similar to the Ashe treatment.

 

[Stone Ocean]

She just needs number tuning to be honest

MF's problem is not being allowed to have the strenghts she has the weakness for. No mobility, no meaningful CC, no burst, no range and she doesn't get the damage she deserves for it.

 

[Bacon]

I think it would be boring if they just threw higher damage numbers to her kit and called it a day. After all the neat gameplay updates they have been doing to differentiate the adc's from eachother that would be lame

 

[zkylon]

i feel like she only needs her ult to feel as game changing as it should

her ult dmg is really high but never really feels like it for some reason

I feel as though her ult is a big issue and can't remain the same if they want her to be a strong pick. Being forced to stand in place for 2 seconds with all the hyper mobile assassins Rito has released is a death sentence.

The numbers on it got toned down because of curse of the sad bullet time meta.

MF needs a lot more than number tuning

her E is pretty much worthless. her ult is almost as worthless just due to the fact that it roots her in place for so damn long for such a little benefit. ricochet shot is actually really good for lane bullying but outside of trinity force procs in team fights (if you even build one on her) it does very little.

 

[garath]

The Q is the only good thing in MF's kit. Maybe the grievous wounds too. But the E and ult are pretty bad. The ashe treatment would be nice on her.

 

[Newt]

MF is completely fine other than her E. Make it a huge slow.

 

[zkylon]

i mean, the dmg on her ult is pretty insane but it doesn't feel like it when i play her

would be nice if she had an actually fun w active too

 

[jerd]

dat zac face lololol

Edit: Just bought Quinn. Should I use her top lane or ADC at the current meta?

I like her best mid but that's... Not the opinion others will give you if you lock her mid

They should just give mf's E % health damage.

Magic damage of course

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

MF is completely fine other than her E. Make it a huge slow.

Does her W automatically apply to her ult?

That should be a thing as well.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

grevious wounds applies. not the slow.

You mean the Zac skin? Yes indeed you must.

dat zac face lololol

I should avatar that...

You mean more than it already is?

 

[Pandaman]

how many of them were plat 5?

You mean more than it already is?

its a 25% slow for the first 15 levels.

 

[zkylon]

grevious wounds applies. not the slow.

mf's ult gives her w stacks and applies the damage (but not grievous wounds)

also her w doesn't slow

what are you talking about haha

 

[Terbinator]

My god that Zac face. Ican't.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

My god that Zac face. Ican't.

Riven must be in the pool if he's making that face

in fact I wouldn't trust that pool if Zacs the same color
