It's confirmed. A rioter said so.

Anything asides from custom games works
It's still impossible to play him atm. People immediately lock him in in coop vs ai and good luck getting him in teambuilder

Holy moly! HYPEEEEEE!
Thanks! That's a good point that it may be tough to get him in co-op vs. AI.

Riots heads are so far up their asses that they're on another continent.
"Yeah but here's this ugly new HUD that everyone bitched about! And the impact is minimal since it's not really important and our previous HUD conveyed the needed information anyways."
"We have trouble aligning our goals so instead of telling everyone to focus, we're going to say that the conversation is over until future notice."
"We tried telling you to shut up about replays and sandbox but that kinda backfired. So now I'm just going to come out and say that we're just not going to work on it, atleast not in the forseeable next few years."
"Listen we're in a bad spot right now. We really wanna make cool skins to sell you, to you know help out this structure of our spaghetti. We might come back to it in the future, and your feedback only feeds our hate boners against the sandbox and a replay system. "
Pwyff managed to make such a long and bad post that really doesn't help his position. Hilarious.

honestly that's even more insulting
no no really basic features everyone else has aren't good trust us
we really talked about it a lot
also I'm not a programmer or anything but honestly building the game from the ground up can't be that hard, you have a bajillion coders now (hopefully talented enough to make a game... because they're in games), custom games making fucking anime mobas took like a week to make and are honestly more complicated, you've had literally years knowing this was going to eventually be a problem, you don't even have to balance anything or come up with numbers that's done just copy paste that shit in
make it in unity or some shit and throw it in a limited beta

Ugly? I don't think many people were saying it's ugly, it looks wonderful. It's just where they put it that was super questionable, which has mostly been fixed with the new patch.
Congrats bro! I hope your job is as fulfilling as it can be. It can really change your life in many ways =)
Every Brand I've played with going back about 9 months now has beat the snot out of the opposing team.
And that Tahm Kench buff is disgusting, love it.
Not going to complain but why buff Volibear?

That's the pocket Sion ult right?
I'm surprised Brand doesn't seem to get more play. He's got crazy damage even from the support position.

Situational stun+Absolutely no escape means they're going to have a bad time
Do you mean his shield no longer decaying? It means he will be even harder to kill, but was that ever the problem with Tahm Kench? I thought the problem was there was very little REASON to try to kill him until everyone else is dead.
So like Swain then? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Swain has healing, a slow, and a 1-ability root. Brand requires a 2-ability combo to CC, has no slow, and has no healing.

made a fool out of myself with Elise at least in 2 different games by dying to mobs. Didn't get much respect from team for those stunts
Man is it hard getting a role besides support. Everyone calls Top, Jungle, mid like lighting fast yo. Starting to miss how HOTS handled the queue whereas you just pick the dude you wanna play and thats it. It matches you into a team.
Okay rant over I love this game yo
oh crap- 5 losses in a row. Starting to wonder when will I ever win again. Gonna tryout some ARAM and take a break from SR
I mean, sure there are differences, but they have some similarities like lack of escape and high damage to compensate. I was just trying to get under your feathers anyway.
Had a really embarrassing game tonight where I was thresh and went against a Blitz/Ashe botlane where Ashe was the support and blitz rushed triforce. We got absolutely annihilated in lane. Seemed like they were smurfs because they were just fucking around and styling on our asses. Blitz landed every hook and just deleted jinx immediately. It was a rough one.
Ummm, yes? Not sure, I don't play BMB when it was out, actually. It's the one that gives stacking movement speed and you can expend the stacks to deal damage with autos.
If people would stop doing stupid shit on Tahm like building RoA, etc. they'd see damage isn't his problem. Just build health. Foor for though: having a Giant's belt at level 6 effectively gives Tahm a BF swords worth of magic damage on his autos, and a Needlessly Large Rod's worth of AP for his Q and W. For 1000g.
While it's true that the shield won't make him any more of a threat in teamfights starting mid-game onwards, it's a huge change for his laning phase in both support and top. He's obnoxious enough to kill already bot lane when he devours a teammate to save them, now it's even worse (or better if you play Tahm). Ditto top. It's going to help his pre-6 survivability immensely and that's just what he needed because once he's there, he's a dangerous as any other top lane tank to fuck with, perhaps even more than most.
Yep. Community has such a hard-on for whatever is being played in LCS don't know how much potential there is in all the other champions.

why don't streamers and shit just mess around with new stuff and show people what's up?
they should be looking for new things anyway just to innovate and come out ahead against predictable teams

Even if they do they play it 'safe' in pro competitions because they're scared. Like, there's stories that when the pro teams scrim they go all out crazy on each other but play reserved otherwise.

that sounds awful
like pocket strat heaven
no reaction can occur from one game to another
you'd never be able to get a actual gauge of team strength
this rito pls thing really turned out to have like the worst possible effect lol
the idea is cool, everyone wanted more transparency or whatever, but i think wrapping stuff in excuses and openly admitting very important projects have been completely dropped isn't great, specially since it's not like they're actually saying what the cool stuff they're working on is
if they were like "ao shin you guise!" maybe, but without anything like that it just feels like we were better off not knowing lol

sorry for the doublepost
um isn't the same true for regions like china and korea that have bo2/3?
i kind of like bo3 better cos there always have to be a winner, but it's possible that's the direction lcs is gonna go next season
not likely, but possible
ehh touhou, pass

what's touhou

nope not at all
it's why the china/korea teams tend to be better, they're just more aggressive because they know how any opponent will react
I must be missing something. How are you calculating that?
Giant's Belt = 380 HP, which means Tahm's autos gain (380 * 0.04) == 15.2 damage.
BF Sword = Tahm's autos gain 50 damage reduced by armor. If someone has 50 armor, that's still doing 30+ damage, double the Giant's Belt case. If someone has 100 armor it would still be more damage (25) in the BF Sword case.
Tahm has 20 bonus magic damage even without any HP from giant's belt, so I didn't include that in the math.

did you include runes and masteries
I just did the difference between buying a Giant's Belt and buying a B.F. Sword, all other things being the same. The price mentioned was 1000g (exactly the cost of a Giant's Belt) so other stats/runes/items/masteries shouldn't factor into it.
*edit* The math doesn't work for the Needlessly Large Rod Q and W mentioned, either. A Giant's Belt would give you a 15 magic damage boost for each, while a Needlessly Large Rod would give you a 36 and 42 magic damage boost respectively, over double in each case.

So I was in my robotics class and I saw what breezy posted and decided to read them in my laptop. I didn't know there was a camera behind me and my prof showed me what I was doing on his phone and he made me walk out of the room.
Rito pls.

oh ok :X
it's called custom mode and farming! otherwise blizzard would feel obligated to spend hundreds of hours if there was a sandbox mode!

Yuck...Great ranked game back-and-forth. 40 minutes. Then we lose all because of me (I feel). Fucking depressing. I went in for just a stupid I-don't-know-what as Blitz. No biggie, except my whole team for some reason follows me in seconds after. They should've recognized what I did was stupid and left me to die, but you have to appreciate team loyalty. Bah. I'm an idiot.
