So, I'm just going to guess that this new "loot" system there unveiling is going to be the new way to unlock champions and they're probably going to retire IP at some point?

I really don't understand why they removed team builder. It was really good when you just wanted to play a champ because you were learning how to play them or you wanted to see random matchups you wouldn't normally. Now I gotta hope that I get that randomly through the dumb champ select thing now.

As long as they return to the days of 1v2 hulk taric, I am fine with the rework. Seriously those were the best days of taric ever. You would get 200 armour at level 9 and casualy 1v2 or 1v3 the botlane and the jungler. It was hilarious.

Oh man I just decided to pick league back up because I said I would when the taric rework was out. Is riot still ruining everything or did they stop doing that?

I stopped playing league for a while (overwatch and factorio came out, basically). What's the good tank jungler route these days? Is it still gruul -> blue -> wolves -> red -> gank or has the mets switched back to starting with buffs?

They gambled on VR being a thing and now it isn't. A ton of their talent had left like practically everyone who made TF2 TF2. That and gaben had to force *everyone* in the company to work on DOTA2 because no one wanted to work on it.

Given he has an aoe stun/knockup, an aoe %hp damage spell which also makes him immune to CC, a gapclosing charge, and a ulti with a ridiculous range you can cast twice which is also AOE CC, I would be very surprised if people don't play him solely in jungle anyway. edit: honestly looking at his kit he's going to suffer the nautlius treatment: Absurdly good in three rolls (top, jungle and support) and get nerfed into the loving ground because of it once people realise it. Can you imagine any ADC who has CC with this guy? Anything that lets him set up his AOE stun or combine with his brittle effect will be ridiculously unstoppable botlane.

Kassadin is back to the #1 ban position on solo-queue again, good thing they buffed him unnessarily several times in the last lot of patches. he's back to having a 0.7 ap ratio on everything again, which is yet again enough for him to instantly delete people once he get 300 ap or so.

One was my fault because I Malzahar ulted their Leona instead of the Akali with a misclick, 3 were close for my play vs the opposing laner but other people hosed up hard, and one was an d/c at level 2 Rek'Sai.

Anyone know if kleptomancy (the season 8 rune) is as broken as it looks on paper on some champs? Ryze, GP and vlad particularly could probably farm up like 500 gold a minute just by spamming their skills out repeatedly.

Eve top is some absolute bullshit if you're playing someone who can't reliably burst her because her passive is honestly brokenly strong. Why, at level 1, she can get back up to ~400 HP (250 base + 2.5 * ~50 AP) after being out of combat for 4 seconds, I do not know. She can take some pretty rubbish trades and still come out ahead if you can't either chase her down or burst her because she just backs off for less than half a minute and is back up to nearly full HP again. It's frankly ridiculous.

Bleck posted:Garen, though Eves passive is better unless garen is level 11+ and has 4500 hp, hilariously. At level 1, Eve's passive is approximately 5 times stronger, and activates in half the time. And I'm not saying that it's difficult to outplay her or not get killed by her, I'm just stating it's an infuriating lane because you can't really win trades in the long run and you can't really out-roam her since... shes eve, and has stupid roam skills built into her kit, and is invisible.

How Rude posted:Olaf is such a turd of a champion if only because he can just ignore your CC abilities and you just stand there as support wishing you could do something to stop the raging lunatic fatass chucking axes at you incessantly. This is why I always take j4 against olaf. If olaf didn't take flash you get to ulti him when he ults, then EQ onto their backline anyway and olaf gets to wander in his tiny rage box getting to do nothing all fight. edit caveat: this is assuming your dipshit shaco or fizz doesn't decide to jump into the box as well, get stuck, gets instantly 1v1'd by the angry ulting olaf then blames you for it.

Vermain posted:New champion roadmap. Looks like we're getting a burst mage that uses bubbles (?), an Irelia/Swain gameplay update, and a huge honkin' gameplay update for Aatrox. Sounds like they're having trouble really nailing him down conceptually. Genuinely feels like Raast is what he should have been. Swain was a letter better after they changed him, but he still suffers from being a boring rear end bird man who just runs at you while Cawing wildly. Irelia is just poo poo champion design and I'd honestly prefer if they just delete her from the game.

Playing nasus is genuinely a good way to teach yourself both lane management and good CSing. You have to make every CS count because you can't trade effectively early on so you really have to work hard and not pushing the lane and not dying.

Galio is obviously broken, but even with this buff he still suffers from being hot garbage. He can't farm effectively versus an AP mid, still has no escape skills, and much like the previous galio, suffers from being a tank who wants to build AP but if he does he's loving trash.

Despite that though against some teams I think he's really strong, particularly magic heavy comps because he gets 30% extra MR for free now once you get warmogs (since you can have 100% uptime on w) and despite morellos existing most people have a hard time killing a 5000 HP tank who stands near you to deal 150 damage a second then hits you once with his head for 470 damage despite building literally nothing but full tank items.

Volibear because his kit is kinda lovely, so no one plays him (if you wanna fling people, just pick singed, and if you wanna bite people for HP scaling, just play mundo, honestly). Nautilus because he used to be super good jungle and riot went "he's too good support. So we're making him one of the shittest junglers in the game" before then nerfing him into complete uselessness.

So uh. What lane is zoe meant to be in? She has one damaging spell and no escape skills, no wave clear and I doubt she's tanky enough to jungle. I guess mid? And then you're basically nidalee 2.0 (ie, spam out max range q's on cool-down till you chunk someone for 80% of their hp then aa them to death?)

Seeing pretty much every game that people are running precision as the secondary tree, because much like in early season 7, the "heal on getting a kill" mastery is both really good and really strong, and the stacking tenacity (or attack speed, depending on the champ) skill is really good as well. On that note, shen with grasp is absurdly strong right now, possibly brokenly so, because he can force fights whenever he wants and the new tank masteries are really good on him.
