In All for One mode we discovered that a team of Zyra can easily take the baron at 20 minutes without taking any real damage. And they take it FAST

Now there's a mode I'm waiting for. I can't wait for people to pick "OP Lux" and then lose to 5 Banner of Command.

Where can I find a good Jinx guide? I've been playing pretty much just support for a while now, but she's always looked fun, and now that I'm going to be able to punish people in the name of the moon the... something star, I want to give her a go.

Here's a jinx guide from someone who only play Jinx and is sad that she will be popular:
- Q>W>E
- Die a lot in laning phase because you think you can outplay all the garbage enemies that are obviously making mistakes
- Sometimes actually outplay them which depletes the small amount of common sense you were only just starting to regain
- BF sword -> Runaan -> IE -> anything, it doesn't matter because you're jinx
- 1v5 the enemy team a lot because they are always out of position and one rocket does 1/3 their health bar

Edit: gold 2, for rank shame purposes

See I think people don't want to play support because it is support. Literally, the name pretty much means second banana. Who the hell plays video games wanting to be Robin?

Seriously, it's different than jungle. You don't get to shoot the creeps. You basically float around letting your teammates see things so they can kill people and towers and win.

I understand why, in something that is somewhat escapist power fantasy for a lot of players, that being Commissioner Gordon and turning in the Bat Signal as your job does not appeal to people.

But more over, it is just the odd role. Every other role is single. One on one, with some occasional roaming/ganking teamwork. Only bot lane for some reason has two (I know, dragon control, etc.). But is there any reason the game has to be five player instead of four?

You could probably have the support and mid duo, or the support and top duo and it really wouldn't change anything for the majority of the playerbase (gold and below). Dragon control is a laughable concept.

While a faster skill point seems interesting, the coin pickup mechanic is just duuuumb.

I mean the ancient coin is right now the worst of the 3 support items and every support besides janna has a higher winrate with frost or relic shield, but is it really gonna help things to have your support soraka go 0/5/0 in 5 minutes because she had to go wander into the enemy's side of the wave to collect her income?

What exactly is the support to do if your in a losing lane? twiddle their thumbs as they are stuck under tower and the 5/0 cait plops down a trap on the coins?

As always, the real gems are in the bug fixes:
Lucian’s Q - Piercing Light now costs the correct amount of mana

Fixed a bug where disconnecting during the cast of R - Hero’s Entrance could cause Galio to be unable to target units and structures

Fake edit: why is poro king back so soon? gently caress that boring rear end game mode

How about the Lissandra bugfix right in her changes?

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.

The promo is only available for one week, so new friends won't work :(

Now his ult is just rubbish. Why would you want to get away from the enemy as a tank? The whole point of being full tank is disrupting their entire team 1v5 ala Maokai with his old ult.

the item data on champion.gg has been suspect for a long time and lately it's been even more clearly garbage - for example, the "best item build" for every champ is listed at like 45% winrate right now. i basically don't trust anything on that site except for the overall champ winrates.

I've only noticed because I use Championify to make item sets and lately some of them have been totally hosed up, like not even having starting items.

I'm not sure I can keep playing since forced onto the new client. The sounds when the queue loads and the sound when people lock in champions are just the worst. They're so awkward, especially locking in...it's more like a sound when you ban a champion, not pick one. The impact of the sound is so low. I'm just really upset by this.

They can be muted in the options. The client takes window focus when it's your turn to select or when the queue pops so the sounds aren't really necessary.

I don't want to mute the sound, I want Riot to hire a competent sound engineer to fix it. Maybe they can put a crowdfunding option in the store. I'll pledge 500RP a month, and they can send me automated responses that are irrelevant to the questions I'm asking.

I started playing again after like a year hiatus and someone in my newly-placed league of Silver told me "Your rumble mechanics give me eye cancer, did you just get that skin from loot" (I have the SG rumble skin)

I told him as the game was ending "I have hundreds of games on rumble rofl" to which he eloquently responded "..."

Xayah is really fun, she has Kalista's satisfying rend except without the unfortunate part where you're Kalista.

The top ADC in NA (imaqtpie) builds essence reaver into PD/zeal items so you can spam your abilities, which is always fun.

This is a bad idea. Why are they trying to implement achievements now after rightfully realizing that was absolutely retarded in a game like league in season 1.

It's a better idea than random key fragments that cap out to a certain number per month using an arbitrary unknown drop rate and chests that drop once per champion per season. I didn't just make up this idea - it is actually the current system in league of legends.
