Xayah has 525 range and no dash so i'd expect people to just die on her a lot until they realize that she's more of a Sivir than a Lucian.

So how are you building him, AS runes and warrior->tank?

AD runes (haven't tested lethality yet), Warrior, then typical game dependent Udyr stuff.

Way ahead? If your team has AOE: Triforce. If your team does not: Titanic Hydra. Q > E > W
On track? Tank and/or utility items. Stuff like Youmuu's, Dead Man's Plate, and Spirit Visage. Q > E >= W
Behind? Likely want to focus on full tank/CDR. W > E > Q

Note that new W ONLY gets shield value with rank now (and not an exceptional amount). All ranks give the 2.5% max HP recovery, which means this will often be a 1 point wonder. Still, as mentioned, there can be cause to rank it early for durability. This is especially true against high mobility and/or poke teams.

Today I learned that every time a new champ is released I can just reroll three of the trillion useless champ shards I have to automatically get them.

I don't know why I thought that wasn't possible for so long.

The two new champs today were 15600 together so 8-10 mouse clicks seemed like a good deal.

They're only 6300 each, and buying the champion shards costs 5100. I did it anyway but halfway through I started wondering why I bothered.

e: pretty much everything about the crafting interface irritates me but it's a pretty minor gripe really

6300 if you're gifting them to someone else, still 7800 for the first week if you're buying it for yourself

So who wants to gift me Rakan?

No really though, Xaryah (Xayah? who cares) seems like an ADC that The Good Xaryahs are going to be unstoppable gently caress machines and everyone else is going to flail about ineffectually with her ammo system. Or so it goes so far in my games.

Maokai tries to lock down a Ahri or Lee? gets deposited behind the tower without his old ult to rely on.

Maokai gonna need a LOT of extra power to his skills if he is going to lose his old R's massive damage/utility.

Hey, if ya'll want one of the stupid bird champions, I can probably gift you one of them as I have a stupid amount of IP. If you have me on your friends list in League, send me a tell with which one you want. I'll keep the limit to one of them though for now so just lemme know which one you want!

Alternatively, if you still want one but are willing to wait, you can add me directly, IGN is Gromp Hellscream on NA. It takes two weeks apparently to send gifts, so there's a little delay before you can get your very own stupid bird champion.

Fizz is so much fun to play right now. Not that bs top tank but the good old full ap. I have the void skin but I don't really like how it looks in game don't know why I got it. I want to get Cottontail fizz. Does he have new effects?

You really should. Honest to goodness, a large majority of the folks I've played with over the years are cool. Some can be grating sure, but League goons are good for the most part

i legitimately cant imagine playing this game solo. and not just because like "oh you'll lose to the team with a duo queue they're more coordinated" but just its so much more fun to have friends to bullshit with and laugh at all of our dumb plays
