So with the mastery changes is 21/0/9 still worth it on mana-hungry AP casters or am I better off just running 21/9/0 now?

I could see running 15/0/15 in certain matchups to get the chalice mastery but 9 utility seems kinda weak now unless you value the summoner spell one highly.

Both options seem equally lovely for the most part because very few mage-type champions scale off of HP or Mana or MS.

It's kind of disappointing that they tailored the top of the tree as such.

In related news Ekko's login screen music is insanely good. Who made that? I kind of want more if Riot hired a band or something to write it.

I'm 99% sure it's Praeco/Christian Linke, he does more or less all of the login/featured music.

Ah, I just went 17/5/7 as singed against an ekko, mid game when I roamed I had our yasuo complaining that I wan't giving enough kills, at this point he was 9/9 and I was 11/4. He then when on to report me for 'verbal abuse' because I told him it's a team game and his kills nor his ego really matter. We still won. I love you league.

we cant compete with dota creatively so lets just make this game as safe and unchanging as possible to be a consistent middle tier stepping stone. its easier to pump champs out regularly if the meta never changes for half a decade and we can focus on our esports bullshit for a game thats dull as gently caress to watch as a result of said stale meta this is win win all around!

They've got 4 skills and a passive, just like every other champ in the game. How about giving someone 5 skills? Ever think of that?

I was thinking how both Zac and Taric are due for new skins, and then it dawned on me: Zac with a crystaline skin would be really cool, like if all his moves, body and particles were like Lissandra's Ice-movement animation.

Unfortunately, a Goo-Taric isn't a good skin idea.

Genuinely the best Zac skin idea yet, imo.

Although bubblegum is a close second.

So Phreak is playing Ekko on stream and is curb-stomping people in a manner which is largely inconsistent with his usual play-style. Obviously there's a significant number of people in the stream chat bemoaning Ekko as overpowered. Phreak's defence of Ekko, was to state that "every champ looks overpowered when you have 14 kills and are up 50cs" which is the most hysterically unwitting tautology I've seen in a while and possibly the worst defence of anything other than "I fell on her".

Had one on my team earlier who was tower diving on cooldown at level 6 and never looked in harm's way once. At 40mins into the game, he 100-0 a full build Sejuani with a massive chunk of that being within the stun duration.

I'm thinking "release week Diana" levels of broken if people don't discover some levels of counterplay that aren't immediately obvious.

Well, you're wrong

PD + Triforce is actually pretty awesome (you trade a small amount of damage for lots more mobility/some tankiness), and is definitely preferable on some champs as the ultimate 6 item build (also depending what your peel/frontline situation is like). But buying a Shiv when you have a PD already, or having a Shiv in a full endgame build, is never ever good on an ADC.
