yeah this champ just seems like riot re-treading the same problems that old nidalee had, except also giving her CC to set up her poke. i cant imagine a world where this champ isn't just new yasuo and is nerfed to a ridiculous degree and relies 100% on snowballing her lane to do anything useful by people that have 10000+ games played on the champ.

saying LoL has a lot of lazy designs isn't exactly a hot take since riot said as much when they were doing the class updates

Does anyone else get shoulder pain playing this game

I don't know why but my right shoulder stings like hell after like 2-3 games

I have good posture and my shoulder is not tense so I've no idea what's going on

i was having this issue a few months ago but my work desk got changed by our ergo team and i havent had any problems since then. i didnt think my home setup was bad, but an entire work day without good ergonomics just meant some arm pain when i got home i guess.

yeah but the pickrates and banrates. also teemo has like twice the pickrate with a comparable winrate. seemed like a weird champion to specifically single out in toplane when hes kinda a fringe pick even though hes pretty good right now.

i liked thunderlords because the animation was cool and it was like something to play around in lane. when im playing an electrocute jungler i don't really notice it i just get a third hit on someone and say "wow they just died from full hp instantly thats pretty sad for them"

languishing in The Eve Zone while riot remakes him

hes weirdly OK right now since they hosed around with all his abilities, no one has a single clue how any of his skills work so people that main him can snowball pretty well through sheer ignorance of the opposition.

top is the second least popular role recently so it wouldn't be hard to get constantly, but if you have bad map awareness and only play fiora you're either gonna lose a whole lot of games or get really good map awareness

they're testing making targeted spells draw creep aggro for the next patch which is kinda interesting, they might actually start making targeted spells again.

Radical
Apr 6, 2011

i think of all the weird takes ive heard from the dota > lol posters "spells drawing tower aggro feels weird" is the strangest

the reason i like the creep aggro change is because a lot of targeted spells are specifically hard for them to balance in lower ELO. having the creeps re-target means people need to play around creep waves (and the bushes in sidelanes.) i think the change just has the best potential of making targeted spells more fair at multiple skill levels.

currently the gangplank Q will draw creep aggro and people seem fine with that.

GP's Q has always drawn creep aggro. It is, for all intents and purposes, a modified auto-attack.

yes that was my point, that other targeted spells will also work like that now.

this thread got real hostile suddenly

Lord_Magmar posted:

I think doing this sort of thing with Jhin is the greatest feeling, you warn them heavily with the first 3 shots and some people will try and outwit the fourth and you'll just take dragon or baron.

ive lost baron twice in the last month to people not realizing that the fourth shot is gonna deal more than smite is and trying to burn it instead of stopping. they were both stomps so it didn't do anything besides waste 5 minutes of time but its pretty annoying.

i remember someone at riot said all the drakes are currently pretty balanced (taking them will make you win more the same amount) but ive always wondered how true that is. like is it just that the drakes are actually meaningless and the teams that are able to take them are already winning a certain amount, or is the value of all the drakes actually equal?

i feel like i ignore cloud/ocean drakes most of the time, especially after like 10m but i wonder if thats really the correct choice

Radical
Apr 6, 2011

i dont think ive seen the large dragon spawn in months, most games tend to end pretty decisively before that. im mostly interested in more fine grain statistics about the dragons i think, it isnt really a mystery why an ocean drake could be helpful or whatever im just curious to know if getting a single ocean drake at 25 minutes or whatever is actually making meaningful differences.

i think riot does their best work when they have an existing theme and difficulty level for the reworked champion in mind, but aren't necessarily trying to keep a lot of the abilities the same (leblanc, ryze)
