They want to move the meta away from pure wave clear without completely gutting wave clear champs. This change both promotes roaming by reducing the cost of missing non-cannon waves, and concentrates gold to cannon minions - which should make wave-clearers feel less mandatory.

Overall I'm optimistic about these changes, as long as they do something to make dematerializer less attractive.

Aside from Malphite and Karthus, what other champs are great with Prescence of Mind?

Giving a character mana should be considered a game design failure imo.

Do you press Q with your ring finger or your pinkie?

On the one hand, pinkie lets you hover over all your spells with your hand.
On the other, pinkie means you have to reposition to use ctrl for skill upgrades.
Also, pinkie is gross.

My main issue with the jungle changes is that someone thought it would be a good idea to make scuttle spawn point literal coin flip. Because what the game really needed was more RNG.

Do you think new Kayle might fit in as a bot lame carry? A strong early game support to shore up her lacking early game might let her late-game carry as she hits her level thresholds.

Another lore thing; is Silas the only champion who's pro-democracy? The other Demacians seem to be all hyper-royalist, Ionians are theocratic and the Noxians are all fascists.

Hell, Rivens issues with Noxus are all about how Singed tried to kill her, not how Noxus subjugated her people and forced her into conscription.

I am unreasonably pissed that all my favorite champs (and also Rakan, I guess) are getting good looking limited time skins all at once.

I will still buy them, but the cost is harder to motivate when it's in a lump sum rather than spread out. :colbert:

Can turrets target you in the shadow realm because if not he becomes the ultimate tower diver. Have your buddy duck out after one ability rotation and have an unloseable 1v1 literally anywhere

It's me, the guy that consistently wins while staying <20hp for the better half of the game.

It's actually something approaching a real strat by now:
Only buy doubles and rank-3-or-mores that will fit with your comp, and save until you get past the 50 gold mark. Losing health only means you get a higher priority on the carousel.
Don't reroll unless you can do so without going below 50 gold.
If you reroll sparingly past the 50 gold mark you'll find yourself with enough gold to level without losing interest, and you'll be pretty much guaranteed to win due to having higher quality units in your pool.

Oh, and only go all in (spam rerolling for units) if you're about to die or if the game is about to finish within 5 rounds at most. Which I realize is pretty much the same thing from your perspective

Support Ashe is like support Senna; you're actually an adc that doesn't have to worry about all that pesky "csing".

It's like playing League while keeping the best part of HotS.

Apparently only the current main hand and offhand weapons will be visible to the enemy team, meaning there's no warning when he empties a clip and suddenly gets access to a new ability.

Maybe it's the upcoming PoE league talking, but I'm getting some strong Mathil vibes off Sett's look.

This is not a complaint.

Yeah, Sett goes from lovely weird to good weird when you realize he's a rassleman.


Also, his dad is definitively Draven right?

I only just now realized they changed the pink ward icon

Also, green wards are no longer a thing as of this preseason patch, since they removed Kleptomancy and with it the only means of obtaining them.

The League lore as viewed through a neoliberal lense:

Noxus is the evil MIC

Piltover is a technocratic Utopia (they don't see the irony of Zaun being the literal downtrodden underbelly)

Ionia is the mystic Far East Orient theocracy, too backwards to properly embrace scientific innovation but maybe their yoga is worth copying

Demacia are the good guys, sure it's a dynastic monarchy but the king is benevolent guys. There's an MIC but it's a force for good.

Sylas is literally Bernie. Bernie just hasn't done any murder yet.

Aren't most of Ornns passives behind the scenes stuff? I mean, Brittle has no real impact on how you actually play him.

I guess you can say having to back off for a second to shop is interactive? :shrug:

I wonder how much Sett's winrate would decrease of they used grey health to indicate his grit instead of a resource bar.

Also, regarding supports; I don't care what you pick as long as you don't start with loving Doran's and rely on stealing CS for gold.

poo poo should be reportable IMO.
