Yeah, I meant Yuumi.

(I typo'd Yui again when I made this post).

The skill numbers for her/Aphelios/Qiyana were just based off of me trying to keep track of all the poo poo they pull learning in lane. When I last played it was pretty safe to assume characters would have some combination of about 9 different abilities Riot put onto everyone so that caught me off guard. :v:

I'll plug my buddy's stream in case anyone wants to see a good TFT player - His name is Alex (Korean name Yubin) and he's challenger rank 40-ish in Korea. He only streams in English though and he generally explains what he's doing pretty well but as far as I know he's the only high elo KR server english streamer.

qiyana is very simple actually, you do not need to know the variations of her abilities much except one of them makes her stealth a la akali, the other ones just slightly change one ability. aphelios is definitely some poo poo though and i am mad that riot put this out but since it is in the game i am going to play it

If Ryze wasn't named after a founder of Riot I wonder if anyone would even care. The other side of that coin is Tryndamere has gotten almost no real changes in years because people just don't care.

Have they added some new deterrent for laners using smite in the last year or so? Otherwise I wouldn't be surprised at all to see solo laners running it again, the amplified health regen and mini-homeguards are both really really nice for them

They made it so if you have the jungle item you get reduced money and experience from lane minions if they are a high % of your income

e: also the homeguards effect on death is for everyone, it's to reduce the impact of early ganks

If not yet, they will. I know people hated the entire Mundo/Shyvana/Singed type top laners just running smite and taking camps and proxy farming years ago because it wasn't Riot's ideal meta and they need to nerf anything they don't like into being irrelevant or unusable. See also: Mages becoming popular in bottom lane, ADCs becoming popular in mid lane, giving Ziggs and Tristana abilities to blow up towers quickly and Ziggs bottom/Trist mid, etc.

There's nearly a hundred examples of a class/character/item being used in a way Riot didn't intended and they say "We'll continue to watch this but we're also just nerfing it until nobody uses it" until we're back to Season 2 meta again. Tank of Fighter top, a Jungler that can't visit until level 4, a mage mid lane, ADC and traditional support bottom

Firebert
Aug 16, 2004
They... they actively want mages in the bot lane, that's literally what all of their balance changes have been for for the past two years. Heimer, Ziggs and Syndra are bot laners as well as mid laners right now. The last two patches are to open up the jungle to non-traditional junglers like mages and top lane juggernauts. Mid lane has been a destination for ADs, tanks and bruisers for the past two seasons too.

What they don't want is non-interactive poo poo like 2v1 lane strats, and non-farming support mid/top with a Janna freezing and funneling farm for their jungler.

There’s a threshold for it to kick in. Current it only kicks in if more than 50% of the jungler’s gold is from minions. That’s getting changed to 40% next patch.

On the topic of broken characters, this is my semi-annual reminder that Bard is still the best champion in the game. He's straight-up the highest win rate right now, has both electrocute or guardian as strong rune sets, omnistone as a harder to execute but solid option or jail of blades as a not as good but funny choice, has the traditional support, the spooky ghosts, and the dead mans into rapid fire or wits end builds as options, and is v fun to play and a good boy all around.

He's also like immune to meaningful nerfs, he's had the top 3 highest support win rate for the last 14 patches!

Just make sure to use your ult for picks or when no one else can do anything to minimize teammate anger (or just loving go for those huge plays and remember that even if you cancel an allied brand ult it's just an opportunity to take the credit instead).

The bundles are pretty solid, yeah. I think I have a post about them in this thread, lemme check my history after I post.

EDIT: Here's what I wrote. It's a year old, so the bundles...might be different?

quote:

The digital collectors pack - which is, I think, the most expensive bundle - is a nice mix of champs, I think. Options in nearly every lane, with a variety of available styles. For top, you get a splitpusher (Trynd), a tank (Cho/Malphite), and a massive rear end in a top hat Teemo. For jungle, you get pure tanks (Amumu and Rammus), an assassin (Eve), a mage (Fiddle), and a gank-heavy champ (Warwick). Middle, you get a scaling mage (Veigar/Ryze), and a burst mage (Annie). ADC is the weakest in the pack, with only Trist, but her kit is solid basically no matter the state of the game, and ADCs might have the least variety in playstyles anyway (someone will fight me about this I'm sure). Finally, in support, you have a hard engage tank (Ali), the game's premier fun-destroyer (Janna), and however-to-classify Morgana, who has an absurd root on a medium cooldown and black shield, but doesn't really do a ton of damage.

None of the champs in that pack are mechanically difficult (except Ryze, who didn't used to be but they keep reworking him). Having them permanently unlocked allows you to fool with them for longer than the week of rotation, which may not be enough time for you to get a handle on whether you like them. Also, unlocking all those champs right off lets you pop into ARAM, which can be a fun way to kill some time (but know that it won't help your actual game at all).

Also the best Anivia skin is Festival Anivia because the recall animation.

Yeah changing that stun to 1.5 seconds is pretty good. He’s already disgusting damage with his passive hitting people hard in team fights, and the stun buff just makes him gross.

ADCs have one skill, and that is to press the right click button on the enemy, and hope that your right clicks are bigger than their right clicks. when playing adc, Q, W, E and R are disabled, and both of your summoners are set to flash and heal.

Probably a league wide issue. I was queuing for ranked and I've played 3 games tonight, all on normal queue pops, I took a break cuz I lost my last one and wanted to reset and so I watched some youtube and took a shower and now the queue looks like its busted. 49 estimated queue and its over 4 minutes now.
