Seemed really strong to me, especially with Kalista/Janna, since Kalista doesn't crit norally.

Are you me?
Def want them. I'm a sucker for cute things. Glasses are cute as fock.
Make a cute skin for a champ that I don't have on top of me being absolutely horrible at playing her. I'd buy that. Happened to me with sg lux.

Bear Cavalry Sej skin is 50% off in my region. Is it good? I was eyeing the Poro rider skin before cuz it's a poro and who doesn't love poros but I'm having trouble deciding which one to buy.
Ooo that survey seems interesting! Hopefully they do add all of those to the game in some form or another. I would really love to see champion addons gained through mastery such as hats, weapon skins or clothing.
As for the last hit animations and stuff I think that all looks cool and is something they should put on the store. I personally wouldn't buy it but I buy like 1 skin a year. But it would make an awesome item to gift to someone or randomly giveaway for good behaviour etc.
I tried out MF last night and she feels nice to play but I didn't really do all that much damage I also didn't to get to try her out properly as it ended up being a 10-0 game after 10 minutes from the other lanes/jungle -.- I handily won bot lane though but didn't really have much kill pressure as I hadn't a clue what I was doing

They do plan on adding 'particle changes' for champion mastery, that would change the particles of a champion.

Oh yeah, we have an LoL event near us this coming Aug 22. There will probably a lot of cosplayers, DJs and other neat stuff. Don't worry guys I'll take pics for research.
Yeah, I don't know how Elise is going to stay in this state for more than 2 patches.
Might be quite early to really back that statement up but holy hell, I've never felt this powerful in the jungle with a champ before.
An ap assassin with good clear and sustain against a tank meta is insane.
And rylai on her is sooo good.

No I'm watching trick2g play as Nasus and just watching how that match went made me feel like this doge needs to stop being about hugging 1 lane and stacking that q.

You can have 2~6 barrels, you're supposed to set them up out of range and surprise people with chain reactions.

His Q
killatopak
Gold Member
I hate him. He's a ticking time bomb just like Vladimir. Also, it's pretty hard to win against him as Renek who I use a lot.
Idk he's pretty unique and delaying his power spike and managing him is kinda like a game in itself. When he gets big and I'm jungling i always feel lile late game is more dealing with the consequences of not keeping tabs on him than "this champ is bs".

No one should use Renek.
Shir early game. Shit late game. Shit Nasus substitite.
Shit.

Sorry I should've been more specific: If the enemy team intends to break his barrels they must auto it, but can any ability break the barrels also?
Stone Ocean
Member
No, enemies need to auto it. Maybe ranged abilities that apply on hits like MF Q work? I dunno.
I'm guessing targeted spells would work like MFs Q etc?

Before, I could agree with the late game but early game? One of the best lane bullies and you say he has shit early? You've got to be kidding me.
Now that tank meta is dominant I could also say that his late game is not as bad as before and it's actually pretty great.
How the heck is he a Nasus sub? He's practically the exact opposite of Nasus where his strength lies in his early game and kinda falls off late game.

Finally gonna get the new patch for our region tomorrow. Let's see how good or bad this new UI is. I want to experience it myself before joining the hate bandwagon.

I know, but that's what I'm saying. More effort than it's worth. You're never realistically gonna do anything with them in team fights. Outside of brush cheese it's too telegraphed to ever be effective.

The GP spotlight seems pretty specific. "Basic attacks or Parrley, enemy can last hit it"
Some adjustments can't hurt. I'll give you that the reddit outrage is embarassing though.
It's not much being a supermodel as it is being different from what her face was supposed to be. I dunno about you but this is a supermodel to me.

It's not telegraphed, you put barrels out of sight in Q range then immediatly put one down then explode the first one. In the middle of teamfights you can also put barrels down while dueling someone to refresh your passive and gain more damage.

Focus too much on Nasus and you risk not helping your other lanes as Jungler.

What is the optimal strategy then?
Would winning the other two lanes by ignoring him work out? I feel that the one thing I think about when fighting a Nasus is "We have to end this game fast".
Other than that, If your top laner could somehow dominate him in lane then that would be pretty good too. There are a few champions that I've seen that can win against him pretty easily. One of those were Gankplank before the rework. I dunno about now but since they didn't change his Q much then I'd assume he still has the power to wreck Nasus.
Lol that update looks pretty bad.
Yeah. Elise is really back. I don't even think it's necessarily the ELISE changes that did it (Meteos has been playing her for a couple weeks now). Runeglaive is awesome on her. New Rylia's is incredible on her. It probably does help that the spiders now do magic damage too. Magic pen works on that. The cocoon buff helps quite a bit to keep her status as an early ganking monster.
She's everything I've missed in the new jungle. Healthy first clear with good dueling potential and early gank pressure.
She's going to be pick/ban pretty soon and probably face a nerf.

Some good, some bad.
I'm not saying Riot isn't getting anything done. They are making steps towards making the game better, a little bit at a time, and that's good. However, we're still waiting for them to make these big leaps in quality like we've been promised so many times. Lots of big features promised, then nothing.

We're about to do the "replay tango" again aren't we
It's the first (only?) thing that came to my mind when the question was posed.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Yeeeep, any day now.....
Had time for 3 games today, didn't get to jungle in any, 0-3 :-(
I can almost understand why laners rage in this game. If your lane just goes even it's so hard to not be able to do anything while the rest of your team just falls apart. I even won lane and got multiple successful ganks off in other lanes in one game and it still wasn't even close.
Doesn't help that i blow ass at every role but jungle

If competitive play doesn't require people to be good at more than one role then why should one of the entry points do so?
People naturally gravitate to certain roles and champions. Not getting your role just gets you bot laners not playing bot lane or worse, solo laners playing bot lane.

I think when ranked team builder comes out, that's when I will play ranked. I never like being last pick and then having to play in a lane that you never practice.
One problem is I don't know how they could do bans.
I see what your saying,but I think team builder would make it more competitive cause who ever you are leaning against usually mains that role.
One problem is I don't know how they could do bans.
Could be fixed by letting players queue up with several roles (e.g. 1st pick jungle, 2nd pick support). Then when the "team found" prompt pops up, it let's you know which role you'll end up being on the team ("Team Found! Do you accept to join this team as Support?"). If you had you heart set on playing jungler, then you decline and go back into the role selection and just put first jungler only.
More interesting is that so far Riot has indicated that players won't be pre-picking their champions like in TB for obvious reasons, but just their role. There isn't much preventing someone locking in their role as Support and picking Vayne to just be an asshole, although I suspect that sort of shit would become much less frequent than now. It's one thing to be Support Vayne because someone above you in pick order locked in an ADC, it's a whole other level of asshole that queues up as a Support and still picks Vayne.
I mulled over an idea where players pick roles along with a small pool of champions (4-5) for each of role they queued up for that would be visible only to their teammates. Then players could coordinate their comps based on that. But that's overly idealistic. The community at large is too meta-sensitive and strict for something like that be possible. I know my teammates would often bitch if they saw my jungle pool for instance. I was dropped from a TB game two nights ago because the captain said Support Braum shouldn't pick ignite.
I expect the stat tracking for roles used in the current team builder will migrate over to ranked TB. I can't imagine they'd let players rack up MMR with their primary role but then force those players to play at that MMR when they feel like switching to another role for whatever reason.

Lyte already said when you queue up for ranked team builder you pick 2 roles, not 1.
Wut? Since duo bot is an expression straight out of hell, I do not get this point..
