I hate lane swaps in competitive matches and encourage any design philosophy that helps eliminate them or force the duo to one side of the map so that actual fights happen before the 20 minute mark.

I'm fine with lane swaps when you get weird matchups like 2v2s with top and support in a lane, but not the unopposed 3-4 man tower pushes which is what they've been since mid-season 5

the new dragons seem like an interesting concept but I feel like the buffs can't be to significant otherwise that might make the early game a little to rng based also i like the changes to ziggs and xerath, hopefully this means it will once again be my time to shine and by shine i mean waveclear endlessly because god do i love those two champs

Verviticus posted:boring poo poo is boring because riot made it boring and refuses to loving correct it, not because pros just find the optimal path It's twofold sure. Riot definitely slow or too fast and pros set this retarded expectation that trickles down that one way to do things is the absolute only way to do things and those beneath pros are too loving dumb to figure out trying something different can work. Optimal for pros =/= optimal for the rubbish beneath them (us) jungle mundo became a thing after a pro saw some random schmo in soloqueue worked insanely well Also FactsAreUseless/Videogames this new tag is dumb

The dragon/baron timers were fine because it was obvious when they died and trivial to time them. Buffs on the other hand, no, not if they aren't warded.

so the cassio passive is 4 ms/lvl, at level 6 you've gained 24 and at 11 you'll have 44 (1 less than brown and upgraded boots respectively.) veigar getting 1 ap for hitting a champion with a spell, 3 for takedowns, and his ult does % missing health damage yeesh

Thanks for the jungle advice friends. I don't think I will be picking up Lee Sin because he is very fiddly and I suck at that, also I'm not a butt. However I may give Khaz a go as an assassin jungler and perhaps Yi as a more forgiving farmer. I wanted to ask about Evelyn I remember playing her a bit in S4. She wasn't the strongest but perma-stealth and chase potential was really annoying to players who didn't set up pinks (like the silver tier players I'm in with atm). Has she changed much, I notice she is still fairly low down on the rankings.

An actual and easy solution would be to, at ten minutes or whenever, let a player on each team grab one of four items from the store. Then they run to dragonpit, do a thing like capturing a point in Ascension, boom, dragon that they wanted appears. I mean, it's ridiculous and vidjagamey but this whole thing is ridiculous and also, a videogame.

Pro game should be changed to both teams sitting at computers staring into space for 30 minutes, then they get up, flip a coin, and the team that gets heads wins.

Dr. Mantis Toboggan posted:Zyra rework is somewhat interesting: Seed activation has always been larger than the spell indicator, though it seems to be much larger now, yeah. I think they wanted the general radius to be similar to how you'd activate the seeds by casting a Q near one from muscle memory, regardless of how you aligned the new Q wall. ImpAtom posted:Can someone on the PBE give a heads up on how Zyra's support game stacks up? It looks like it should still be good but it depends on how hard they hit her numbers to compensate for having an actual passive. Quick look at the readily available information: - Q level 1 damage went down from 70 to 60. - Thorn Spitter (Q Triggered) damage went down from 30 to 24. + Q level 1 mana went down from 75 to 60. - Plant duration went down from 10 to 5 seconds.  = Seeds recharge at about the same time. + Seed duration went up from 30 to 45 seconds. + Max seeds went up to 8, so you'll probably see 6-7 in a counter-engage if you're playing defensively. = No apparent E change. -/+ R now changes plant damage to 150% instead of +50% Attack Speed. No idea on the coefficients or how things scale from now.

qss removes cc effects. it was never intended to stop damage over time or delayed damage. im glad riot removed the inconsistency between qss behavior with zed's ult versus, say, karthus' ultimate oh but it does stop most dots, i guess i was just thinking delayed damage

If QSS does not remove Zed Ult (and therefore probably Fiora ult, other stacking ults etc.) then ADCs are going to have a snowball's chance in hell of dealing with these champs. there is going to be a massive itemization pit vs. Zed on ADCs if this goes through
