The end of Season 2 is the 23rd, if you want a deadline for when you have to get your Elo to a certain point. No idea when Season 3 is actually going to start (I could give you the amount of time between Season 1 ending and Season 2 starting, but they've already shown that they're not going to keep to the same schedule, given that the interval between the Season 1 championships and the end of Season 1 was much larger than 10 days). Also no idea if the Elo actually physically resets at the end of Season 2 or the beginning of Season 3, if you're just hoping to blot out your current Elo altogether.

Well I got Draven on the day of his release. I don't really know what kind of roll I'm really into wanting to play right now. I pretty much rock the game with Wukong, but that's probably because I've played the game just for him. I guess an assassin type character since it's been a while. (Have LaBlanc)

Bubble-T posted:Ezreal is so clearly the best ADC overall that he does need a bit of a nerf. They've stated that they want his design to be about rapid spells and mobility but he's too good at 1v1ing so it's quite likely one of the attack speed buffs/debuffs in his kit will be taking the hit. I keep seeing all these guys going EZ, and I don't know where they get this idea. His main pokes all get avoided by just running side to side or being behind minions, and he's frail at the start. Not to mention the majority of people who play him are predictable as all get out, making it easy to guess exactly what he is going to do. The "rush in and spam the 1-2-3 attack combo" just results in a lot of wasted mana and being vulnerable for a few seconds, all from casually running sideways to him. The main problem is that he is a slippery bastard. Hard to corner and catch unless he blows everything in a panic early on. Even so, almost always end up pushing him and his partner up against the tower within the first 5 minutes or so.

I like how one of the suggestions posted here on equalizing AD carries was to nerf IE and PD, two items that Ezreal does not usually rush or even get.

Is there any situation anymore where Mordekaiser is viable? He's probably my favorite champion currently but it just seems like he gets completely shutdown in middle lane v.s. almost anyone. I've tried going full on AP carry with him, off-tank, you name it. Unless the mid I'm against is insanely horrible I just fall off lategame and become a non-issue unless I can snag their ADC with my R. I sort of miss old Mordekaiser.

In all seriousness, 4v5s suck but depending on when a teammate leaves, the game is still winnable. It's really lovely to deal with, especially if your team won't surrender when you are getting wrecked.

I've been playing alot of Rengar top lately and that's not even fair for anyone who goes top against him. It's just a drat shame Rengar is useless in team fights.

Top lane Morde is even easier to gank than mid lane, if you're getting ganked less up there then you're playing against bad junglers/top laners. Top lane champs are generally better at farming under tower and freezing lanes which mitigate's Morde's main strength (pushing really loving hard). Morde excels against mid lane champs that don't like to be pushed against, especially if they can't help well in ganks (Ryze is a more dangerous opponent than Vlad, for instance). Ward wraiths on both sides of the lane and steal them all game, build DFG and one-shot squishies.

I remember I had one game where we had a Mordekaiser go top. The rest of the team, myself included, was doing pretty poorly. Morde stomped top and took his tower down pretty fast. I thought that might help since we could at least focus on something else, but Morde just goes back top. He pushes to the next tower, gets ganked and kills both of them before dying. This repeated about 3 more times with some variation of a 2v1 or 3v1 with Morde killing at least 1 of them each time. He eventually took the inhibitor after giving us plenty of time to farm and take our own turrets. It was amazing and I've wanted to learn Morde ever since then, but I really don't know much about his kit or playstyle or who he does well against.

It's a drat shame you never got to play pre-nerf Mordekaiser. There was something amazing about being able to take on an entire team by yourself. I'm not even exaggerating. You could 1v5 as Mordekaiser.

To those wondering what jungler can do the jungle without runes and stuff, the answer is warwick. At lower levels to where no one wards his ult is really powerful as well because a 2 second stun is pretty much enough time for your lane dude to gib the guy you just ultied.

I was under the impression that Eve's real strength is in her roaming potential. Most traditional mids probably have ways of dealing with her assuming she's actually visible and/or actually in lane. Even the few that are short enough range to be in her danger zone more often have ways of potentially shutting her down (Annie, Ryze, TF).

The thing about Eve mid in solo queue is she's one of those champs that can lose lane and just go get fed off your stupid allies unless you really stomp her in to the ground. She's an incredible roamer. Slowing down her DFG does hurt her a fair bit though. Hate spike only has 500 range and dark frenzy makes her very good at avoiding slows/skillshots or engaging right after a long cooldown skill has been used. Champions like Kassadin or Ryze are good because they can guaranteed punish her for coming in range, I imagine Cassiopeia is good too. I'd like to try Mordekaiser against her in fact.

I don't know what is meant by the Blizzard definition of "disruptive", but I hope that Riot actually means disruptive. Like totally redoing wards, removing crit and gp10 items, nerfing defensive items to compensate for the removal of crit, and making a lot of items with actives instead of just more stat sticks. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they'll do before season 3. Especially to Karma, because god drat is she terrible. Every now and then I load her up in a bot match just for fun and to remind myself of how bad she is. It's not surprising that nobody knows what her W does because the move speed changes are barely noticeable and it's ridiculously impractical to land the damage. The OP or second post should have "DO NOT PLAY KARMA (at least until she's remade)" in giant, flashing, neon letters. Also one for Fiora, but without the remake clause because we all know she's never going to get remade. And I, too, miss old school Morde. He was the hardest carry in the game for a time, and totally undiscovered to boot, until people stopped trying to build him tanky. Edit: A patch just went out.

Karma's W is actually pretty good for farming, though. I think her core issue continues to be an uncertainty of whether or not she's supposed to be an AP nuker (which she's...alright at, assuming she can mantra her E often enough), a straight support (which she's thoroughly mediocre to outright bad at), or an AP/utility caster like Orianna (but doesn't have the options or depth Ori gets thanks to mantras holding her back). And all three possible roles are stifled anyway by her awkward ability scaling and absurd mana costs. John Murdoch fucked around with this message at Oct 15, 2012 around 06:19 |

Maybe some more consumable items as well that would be useful even if you're not at 6 items yet. It would be a ballsy move by Riot though if they actually did it, LoL is one of the most popular games in the world in it's current state, people are clearly mostly happy with the way it is at the moment, mucking around with things too much (i.e removing crit items) might turn people off. I hope they do have the balls to make big changes, but I'm not really expecting it, when you have a cashcow like LoL you generally don't rock the boat too much.

Sion is usually a mid when he gets played, he was crazy popular a few months ago for awhile. Grab boots 5 and build AP, melt a creepwave and go ganking. Wukong makes his way mid occasionally because he hits like a goddamn train and is very hard to poke down.
