I hate the frog, but I think something that would have been a much more reasonable change would have been to nerf the range of his Devour. It's weird to see him scoop up an enemy from like 6 Teemos away. It'd also make it more difficult for him to instantly save teammates from any play.

So when he kills someone, does the instant trap includes the slow too?

I played him a few times and it didn't seem like it included the slow, just about a 1 second windup then the detonation. I could be wrong though cause I wasn't paying close attention.

Somebody please tell me why every rear end in a top hat bans Mundo, is he still OP, nobody ever picks him but he is banned in every game and I'm being yelled at for not banning him.

In the depths of Bronze I can guarantee that, barring D/Cs or blatant intentional feeding, the team that gets Mundo will win. I had a a game where bot lane went 0/3 (each), mid was 1/3, and and I was a solid 0/0 for fifteen minutes, but our top lane Mundo still walked all over the other team.

Sounds neat, wouldn't mind giving it a try.

Phoenix/Turtle build? Also what runes/masteries cause there are 10000000 udyr runes out there.



I started playing Mundo in my muck about Normals recently and even when I'm getting shat on or making huge mistakes all I gotta do is run at the enemy ADC and I either end up eating his face or tanking 3 people for my team to blast down while I am a huge % health dealing, fire covered purple ball of HP.

Yeah even if you do literally nothing, you can just turn on your ult and watch the enemy team panic and loving dip out of the fight or die.

Was wondering if anyone has tried this build yet, and if so, what are your thoughts on it.



With 8 stacks of rageblade and W up you have 5.00 attack speed, and one time I killed Lux while she was casting her ult from 100% to 0. The only downside is it's a bit slow to get going, but once you have rageblade + hurricane it really kicks in.

You forgot Smite.

What I'm trying to say here is I'd rather wait a few minutes to get a role I want than be instantly queued in a role I am just okay at.

I've said this about five times in previous threads, but I exclusively played TB because the majority of the time I play League it's because I get an itch to play a specific champion. With TB I knew I could do that 100% of the time, and it's not like the wait times were that much worse. It's just annoying because LoL is the only game where there's a significant chance you just won't get to play the way you want. Its like me popping in Skyrim and the game going "Sorry, you can't play a mage for two hours, gotta play a warrior" or something.

That in mind, I think the two role thing is way better than Pick-Order Draft, and it it's nice to be able to actually play ranked knowing I'll get at least one of the roles I want. I just can't wait until the release Actual Solo Queue instead of this Dynamic bullshit that puts me with 4 non-English speaking French people in Skype against another 4-man in Skype.

So obviously the Graves rework with the ammo mechanic was kind of a test before releasing Jhin, and Riot must have said "Woah, new Graves is so good and everyone loves him this is a really good design". But the whole point of giving Graves ammo is because he is hardly even an ADC anymore, he's just a bursty bruiser, so the ammo system is needed to bottleneck his burst.

So the ammo system of Jhin is really, cripplingly bad for an ADC. It makes trading with him in lane really easy because his reload time is so slow that you can either deny him CS, or just wait around and eat his 4th shot and then just go in and out trade him in the next 4 seconds of free time you have on him. They either need to increase his range, or they need to make his reload time scale up with levels.

Also, I played like 5 games of Udyr, and every game I started out really strong, like 2/0/3, but lost most of them because I couldn't keep it going mid game. This was also a case of at least 1 lane feeding pretty hard, but I still felt like I should have been able to do more with that lead. What exactly should I be doing around the time laning phase is over? Just split pushing or trying to duel people?

ImpAtom posted:

A part of me thinks it might be fun of an enemy besides the one targeted took extra damage or something from the ult instead, but that's probably a bit too awkward and unintuitive for the idea they have.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Maybe add a "If an enemy other than the marked target is hit by the bullet, they take an additional (x%) damage" or something. That would at least make it a little bit more of a risk doing it, whereas now even the squishiest champ can intercept it if they want. Or maybe even just like a massive slow/root if an unintended target took the damage? That way if the enemy team was trying to disengage they would have to choose between one of them dying or one possibly getting caught out.

So I remember playing him in like last 2014, when he was crazy OP, and I would just style on people for the first few levels. I haven't really played him ever since then. I remember a while ago I went top lane and got smoked by a Vlad level 3 and just thought I was crazy bad.

Firebert posted:

Flamespitter used to do only 50% damage to monsters which they removed a few patches ago.

Right, I got that.

So how would you want to play him? Obviously he could have really good ganks Post-6, and with his speed boost+E slow+Stalker's blade he would be drat hard to get away from for basically everyone. And he could essentially counterjungle extremely quickly with his Q, maybe using Poacher's Knife to lay down a lot more vision?

What kind of build would you go? Since swifties are getting nerfed and he really likes MPen, I would assume Runic Echoes>Sorc Shoes>Haunting Guise/Rylai's? Depending on what your team needed maybe switch out the early damage of Rylai's for a RoA and then go a little tankier?

Of all the games I've played this season there are a few that stand out as the absolute least fun possible, and they're all ones where I'm the solo stuck with a 4 stack. Allowing that poo poo was one of the most boneheaded things Riot has ever done. Even worse that they prevent third party sites from showing who's queued together; if I'm gonna get absolutely hosed by four people with perfect comms while being ignored by the rest of my team the least they could do is let me know that it's gonna happen beforehand.

I'm pretty concerned that Riot is going to just not release Real Solo Queue and just leave it with only Dynamic.

And when the gently caress is the Japanese server coming back? I can't go back to NA after I've had a taste of that sweet, sweet 30 ping.
