Next champ after the sun dragon is a caster minion on top of a melee minions shoulders, which is standing on top of a siege minion, and they're wearing one big trench coat.

Yeah, well I don't trust this guy. I think he regifted, he degifted, and now he's using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super Bowl sex romp.
tbh there should be an actual minion champ, maybe a regular minion got hit with nosher's slime and he grew???

They should re-imagine Rumble as a siege minion who's tired of basically being champ fodder, and now he's out for revenge.

I came up with an idea the other night of an item like banner of command except it lets you voltron up combinations of map minions and gives them stats based on what you crammed in there

Speaking of, they need to hurry up and release chroma packs for Rengar, so we can have one of each Voltron lion color in time for the next All for One.

Hahaha what? "Hm, well, he wasn't doing well with AS on his Q... but we moved it to his W and now he's OP. Clearly the solution is to remove it entirely which will of course fix the problem of him being too weak."

The more they push this Mount Targon event, the more I think we will see a surprise Pantheon visual update within two patches. It is hard to get excited about this new realm when one of its flagship champs looks like something out of a decade old Sega Dreamcast game.

That dude is right, rank x should only play rank x, none of this golds vsing silver crap. mmr not being connected directly to lp is stupid.

This is why I immediately stopped bothering with placements:



Dynamic Queue is the dumbest thing they've done in a really long time. The only benefit of ranked was that my bronze rear end didn't have to play into stacked diamond/plat teams with their bronze friend and now it doesn't even have that anymore.

Neither a diamond nor a plat could queue with a bronze, though?

I'm a dumpster-tier shitter myself, and while I played against plats (and the occasional diamond) in my placements due to the MMR reset, I haven't really faced anybody over gold in my games after placements. You may run into smurfs, but you'd run into them in the old system too.

I have bigger problems playing with a friendly 4 man when I solo queue than I do getting poo poo on by an enemy one. You're always the scapegoat and the guy who gets left to die because you're not in on their little group. It's extremely toxic.

Isn't jungle one of the highest supply solo queue roles?

i feel like before in solo queue there weren't many people that preferred jungle so i dont know if this is just a case of a bunch of people picking jungle secondary or what. jg/mid generally works, that being said. i get mid maybe 1/10 games.

This has to be photoshop, because I mean who wouldn't go back with their 6k gold at some point and try to come back and use the items to kill your opponent who hasn't bought, or take the tower, or whatever?

I would believe it though if it were just like two challenger idiots who agreed to not go back as a gimmick to make their stream viewers laugh or something

I did that before in a malphite vs mundo lane years ago. We agreed to see who could get 200 CS first, so we spent the next however long farming and running away whenever our teams would try to collapse. It was really stupid but sometimes you gotta make your own fun
