i know the game is a little too tilted towards offense right now but other than some outlier champs i feel like the new runes let you do all kinds of fun poo poo. dorans ring start miss fortune isnt something that locks you into a lovely cheese build and is a very fun lane. altho getting adaptive ap when you want adaptive ad to last hit stuff can be kinda annoying at levels 1-3

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

Guys, I just got Vayne because of her new upcoming skin, and I love her. I feel like she's the best adc, and she suits me perfectly. I have a problem though: my support is never in sync with me, and I end up dying a lot due to their incompetence. Why can't supports just go in when I do? I've tried telling them to get in lockstep with me, but for some reason they are never gracious despite my advice. Just go in at level one, man. With my silver bolts I can win any engage if I just have some support!

Tried Rammus jungle for the first time last night. We won, but certainly not because of anything I did. I guess sometimes just not feeding is a safe enough strategy.

Whoo ground floor :toot:

I'm having loads of fun with Ashe now that I did in fact switch to Press The Attack (even though it's getting nerfed soon, rip). Ashe does so much loving damage and no one expects it and then they're just loving dead.

Precision:
Press The Attack
Overheal or Triumph (if you have a heal support/expect to buy into heavy lifesteal, Overheal, otherwise Triumph)
Alacrity
Coup De Grace (if they go double tank, grab Cut Down instead)

Domination:
Cheap Shot
Zombie Ward



Seriously, she's gonna get overlooked due to Vayne and Ez and probably MF being the hugest outliers but Ashe is a top tier pro pick.

I just hope they don't nerf Kleptomaniac because it's not really the best choice in most games but it's one of the most fun.

That was back before Riot really had much of an art department or quality control. They ended up going with a redesigned version based off of fanart by Katie De Sousa, which eventually lead to her landing a job at Riot proper.

I'm going to miss this wacky patch of Rocket Tag league of legends when they tone down the BS keystones

Vermain
Sep 5, 2006



Right now, it looks like the only major change they're making to runes for the upcoming patch on Wednesday is to knock Aery down slightly (15-40 instead of 20-60 base) and make Predator a little more appealing. I'm fine with things settling for a few patches so that they can get the data they need for adjustments, but I hope Coup, Sudden Impact, and Triumph all get looked at and knocked down a peg or two. I'm actually okay where Aftershock is right now, because it's brought back several engage supports like Nautilus and Leona in a big way.

Conversely, there's a few runes that seem to be underperforming or are too dramatically niche to make use of. Guardian sucks rear end because of how clunky it is to use and how uncontrollable its effect is (sort of like the old Zeke's). Glacial is merely "okay" on one or two champions, and I suspect it'll be a hard one to balance between "totally useless" and "100% mandatory." I really like the concept behind Unsealed Spellbook, but the other keystones just give too much raw power in comparison to it.

Fun fact for season 8: according to Meddler, Sona and... Yorick ?? are the top performing champs on the patch. Finally Yorick's time to shine...

Either a minor range increase or a cooldown reduction on Guardian would be nice to start with.

e: I can't complain too hard because i can just go Sona/Zyra support and stomp in faces.
