Yo Riot where is my Bernie Branders skin with his ult name changed to Burn the Rich?

Only if they release Hillary Jhinton and if the two are in a game together a special battle message pops up like when Freljord champs are on opposing teams.

Bernie Branders inspires his team, giving them a 5% boost to all stats. Hillary Jhinton is a robot, and gains 30% extra armor growth.

I played Galio today and it was okay with CDR boots and that master that reduces summoner spells but man you are kinda useless without flash and he should probs have a ranged auto and maybe increase either the projectile speed of Q or the damage on E or something

All of which is stupid. He's a gargoyle that turns to stone, nothing should stop his ult.

I've probably spent $400+, but I've been playing this game for six years and the only champ I ever bought with RP was Nocturne when I was drunk and a friend convinced me to buy him and his Halloween ghost skin when it first came out.

I've bought so many mystery skins that in ARAM I have a solid chance of having a skin for any champ I get. And I own every champ.

Galio is the best champ in the game because Alex Ich set a CS record on him back in like S2

Alternative thought: maybe make his ult not interruptable? It's the one thing that makes that ult not really work.

Ding ding ding

It would be super powerful, but still gated a decent amount by flash. He probably does need a rework of his other skills but that would put him in an okay place for now.

I was under the impression that if you were truly new you get sorted into a pool of new players pretty quickly while smurfs got sorted into a separate one? I always figured it was based on CSing, wards bought, item efficiency, etc.

Thinking about that now though, they might as well just put all new players in bronze 5.

I also can't imagine that League is actually growing much, if at all anymore. Unless poor Middle Eastern or South American refugees who have never had a computer or internet access are starting to play, who hasn't been exposed yet?

Taric, Lissandra, Nautilus, Annie, Lulu, Malzahar, TF, Urgot, Lulu (depending on what's a "stun"), Pantheon (depending on what's ranged)

I had Taric and Annie in mind, forgot about TF and Panth, and I think Lulu works too. I didn't count Liss, Naut, Malz, or Urgot since theirs are ultimates. Tbh actually I didn't think of Urgot at all because I haven't seen him in forever.

Lol what the gently caress guys if Riot was actually worried about "catching up" they'd revamp the costs and price reduction schedule of champs, which has been pretty desperately needed for like two years.

Crafting is just there to get people to buy keys and chests and poo poo with RP.

Guys after years of refusing to play Sona I started playing Sona and chunking the poo poo outta fools early and landing rad flash crescendoes late is fun. Sure you're made of wet paper but the stupid ardent censor builds make up for it.

I'm in the same boat, but replace Dota with HoTS. I was more hoping to see if anyone had a basic primer to all the heroes? Was playing with some sort of fish man and he kept eating me and enemies on such a low cooldown that like. That couldn't be his ult, right?

Since there's over 100 heroes, the best way to learn is to a) go into the client where you can see all the champs, sort them by Mage, Marksman, Tank, whatever and see which champs fall into what generic roles, and I guess b) play a lot of ARAM. That'll expose you to a toooon of different champs and you can get a general idea of who does what. Also play all of the free week champs each week too.

as a completely unrelated rant, gently caress riot for taking away all of the do nothing champs.

when I was playing 4 years ago, some of my favorite champs were things like singed, soraka, sion, ect. Champs that I didn't really have to think about when I played with friends, just pushed buttons on enemies and things happened. Then riot changes them to make them more "interesting" or "engaging" or whatever. Now soraka takes a half of a brain to play, sion takes 3/4's, and singed is the only good champion left in the game. It's ridiculous

Old AP Sion owned bones, I want a game mode where you get to play all the reworked champs as they originally were. Using original art resources.

I haven't played 5's in about a year and just started again. I got into a game, and about two minutes in a little box popped up saying something about remaking due to AFKs, despite there being none. Only two people out of five hit "yes", and the game ended.

Me too man. I fuckin love Galio and just wish he had some sort of mechanism where if you nailed someone with E you could super speed toward them to get your ult off instead of relying on flash.

I also love Urgot though so maybe I just really like unpopular champs.

Bush is singular, while brush is a plural form of the word, used mostly when the plants being referred to are wild.
