Permaslow dudes all day while putting bombs on their heads. Save lives on a 180 second cooldown ult that's actually 25 seconds. Also pretend to be Annie with your 600 range autos. Zilean's big problem to me is that W is a really boring skill. It's crazy-low cooldown but on a constant W mash. There's no real thought about it once you have some form of mana and cooldown. It is an iconic skill but it's a really lovely and boring one. I like playing him but I'd rather have something with Rewind beyond just "mash W until Ult comes back up."

The new Gangplank ult will now follow a target; Riot doesn't balance anything else around this and he becomes a must-ban in LCS for two months.

His new ult should just be the ability to sail a giant galleon up and down the river for as long as he wants firing an enormous cannon at anything within 10000 units.

As much as I love the idea of vehicles in League I know it won't be very good. Most likely the galleon will be made out of tons of tiny minions and there will be a bug where Syndra can pick up one of them and throw the ship out of the water at which point it can sail through land and fountain dive people

So has anyone figured out how to fix or ameliorate these random lag spikes? I was getting like 2 or 3 a game which was bad but not terrible, but my last game was just unplayable.

They're talkin about looking at GP at some point, but not anytime soon I guess? I wanna say Xypherous said GP's best advantage right now is nobody knows exactly what he does, but the moment they do, they realize he's really loving bad. You could call it power creep or who knows but he's just kind of a pile of crap right now. Which is a shame, because he's a pirate and he owns and is cool. HOWEVER he has one advantage that in a straight up auto fight with any other melee top he will win it at level 1, provided they're stupid enough to let you slap them endlessly.

Like in the Get Jinxed! video.

You know, I love my Bear Cav Sej skin, they should do Winter Officer Ashe and Winter Officer Lissandra. You can make Liss a naval officer with two eyepatches and turn her walking animation into an icebreaker moving or something. That'd be cool. None of this Bronze Queen crap.

Gangplanks ult used to be full damage and gave gold from minion waves. Can you guess who was played all the time?

Maybe make it do guaranteed damage per second with bonus damage on cannon hits so it has a minimum amount of damage it can do? And make it scale with  or something so its actually useful lategame.

New Gangplank Passive (Helpful Crew): Gangplank takes 10% of all income earned by all teammates, they get a buff called "Captain's Bounty" which does nothing but taxes their income.

loving merge gangplanks Q and E and make him a togglable stance champ where his range stance gives extra gold per unit killed but costs like 20 mana per attack and his melee stance keeps the bonus attackdamage/movespeed from his E. Then give him a stun for his NEW E!!! that stuns both him and his target for 1.5 seconds on his next autoattack. Then make his passive scale off AD.

Rather than that, make it so that Gangplank doesn't take 10% of all income, but takes the kill/assist gold and kill credit on any kill he's part of for himself. And teammates don't even get an assist credit from it either. The captain gets all the glory. Lightning guns don't pay for themselves, you know. chumbler fucked around with this message at 04:04 on Aug 10, 2014 |

ARAM is pretty much a joke gamemode now, but if you somehow get Ashe or Varus in ARAM and don't get 2 in Volley/Piercing Arrow at level 3 and don't rush Brutalizer/Last Whisper with ArPen runes you deserve to lose the match. Spend all your leftover gold on mana potions on your first 1-2 backs too. I'm rocking something like a, no joke, no exaggeration, better than 90% win rate with Ashe/Varus on ARAM over 30-40 lifetime ARAM matches with those champions. Think Nidalee, Lux, Ziggs were bad with how much poke they can put out? Ashe and Varus can deal even more poke, and that's before taking in consideration that they hit really loving hard in a teamfight on ARAM, and their ultimates are excellent for shutting down any attempts at kiting your team.

I suspect the solution will be something like this: [E] Step Aside!: Gangplank dashes to the nearest unit with the most stacks of Grog Soaked Blade, consuming the stacks. The target takes damage and is slowed based on the number of stacks consumed.

Aaaaaaaand that is why alternate map modes suck. People take a fun mode and take it so dreadfully loving seriously. Unrelated, Lucian with Essence Reaver/CDR boots+furor/Tri is incredible good fun. They turned him into this rad as gently caress gunslinger and he owns bones.

Emasculator posted:Warwick deserves way better than tier 3. He brings so much utility to that game mode its scary. Any bruiser without a five man ultimate is pretty much garbage in ARAM. Unless you some how get a mythical five-man bruiser team and then you form super synergy where you just dive every fight once per minute.
