League of Legends |OT| What's Old is New Again

[Wibblewozzer]

Sounds about right. I wasn't sure what items were best so I just sort of grabbed whatever which turned me into a bit of a monster to take down so I think I played the part of being pleasantly annoying to the other team. Braum gets my seal of approval.

 

[Tizoc]

HE LIVES HE DIES HE LIVES AGAIN!

 

[Tizoc]

Yo Nurelia sounds pretty OP.

 

[zkylon]

i want to know what the discussion was around frostbutt irelia

like i can imagine the debate on if the butt should stay or not

happy they arrived to the logical conclusion that the butt is canon

 

[ChrisD]

Somehow my team around me gave the enemy Fiora 9/0 in twelve minutes. I was mid against Heimer who kept me perma-shoved, and our Jungler Kayn stayed away from mid to help uh... actually, he ganked nobody, going from what the rest of the team said. He did have Herald and two Dragons stolen due to starting them with no Smite or Control Wards, though, so at least he knew objective game. :)))))))

I've never felt stronger that feeling of "oh, so this is what a totally unwinnable looks like"

 

[Flow]

Irelia looks amazing and the new rumble and wu skins are dope. Good week for top mains.

 

[Acquila]

Nah Braum is B or C tier in ARAM. Tanks are great in ARAM, but he's not really disruptive nor threatening.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I'm soooo tired of support mages. I feel like this has gone from semi-common to all-the-time now. And it is especially frustrating when half of them just want to play Mid Mage instead of Support role. Anyone else feel this way or am I nuts?

Nah, the utility supports are still king in botlane (although Brand and Veigar support are my most played supports this season lol, they're just fun OK). Support mages are still easily farmable with a Leona.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Who need support mages when you can play Janna put 3 points in W and poke the enemy adc out of lane.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

To continue my games with a bad bot lane, we just had a Nami/Leona bot on my team. Ranked game.

We....won...? They actually murdered, and continued to murder. Life just doesn't make sense anymore, people. I can't hang with these young kids no more.

 

[Wibblewozzer]

I've gone back to having a bunch of bots (and people higher level than me yell and berate them in chat somehow unaware that they're bots). I think it's just the bots come out on weeknights and fade away on weekends so I'll probably mostly play on weekends going forward. Or Riot could give a shit and fix this problem? That'd be great.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Braum is a Tank Support. He doesn't deal damage, everything is in his utility and tankability. The stun and his knock up are great in standard play, I'd assume it stands up well for ARAM, too.

Click to shrink...

ad braum worked at one point

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Thresh ARAM with ADC build is some of the most fun I've ever had.

 

[Tizoc]

Fuck the rules, I'm going AP Meowkai and blowing people up with my kittehs.

 

[Kenai]

ARAM was where I learned to love and accept AP Nasus (and only there, but still). Lucen's Echo infused Spirit Fire chunks are a thing of beauty.

 

[Deeks]

splitpushing as Kayn feels like I'm playing the game wrong but hey, it worked

even got a really nice baron steal in there

 

[Era of not Yakuza]

I tried to play ranked match and honestly it was my biggest disappointment with the game over the last 4 years. It seems that people take more seriously Normal game or ARAM.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Holy smokes, that new Miss Fortune splash. Her head is like...ridiculously small and out of proportion compared to the rest of her body. That looks...not great.

Click to shrink...

Yeah. People take Ranked pretty darn serious. When I came back after my 9 month break from League, I played nothing but ARAM for the first few months. Really helped me settle back in with a crowd that mostly didn't give a shit so I could let loose and have fun.

 

[cHinzo]

Febiven wooooo

 

[Brewster123]

Petition to rename Hakuho to Hookuho. He seriously made Thresh look like a point and click champion.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Is Vel'Koz terrible this patch? or did everyone else just get a lot better? I had 5 ranked wins in a row last patch, and was winning 75% of games. This patch the only games I've won have been due to my team carrying me. I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong all of the sudden.

 

[Orochinagis]

Gonna try the new adc girl, is she harder than Kalista?

I am surprised MF have the muscle to lift those guns, the japanse wallpapers are sick.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

OK...never mind about Vel'Koz comment. I just absolutely unleashed the beast in a 19/5/8 Ranked win.

 

[SoulBlighter]

Pedro you here? Fite me!

Also, new MF skin is trash.
And this thread is deader than the game.

Spoken like a true redditor.

That MF skin really is terrible. It looks like nothing special in game which like, is fine, but it's supposed to be an ultimate skin? Nah.

Yeah I agree it definitely isn't worth as much as the other ultimates. I just found it funny that I literally saw reddit post that said the exact same thing (The skin sucks and LoL is dead).

 

[Deleted member 1041]

i can't believe they spent all that time on a bad mf skin and didn't make swains dragon skin even dragonier

 

[Orochinagis]

Riot didnt learn about making different variations of the same skin would be a disaster and lost focus on the skin design on first place.

Worked on Udyr and Sona because its part of their moveset to change stances and worked organically

 

[Kenai]

Finally finished my promos and got put in Silver 2, even got an S- on good ol Taric at the end there (lane buddy Jhin also got an S-). I finished last season Silver 2 as well (didn't play ranked much) so I'm not quite sure if the game is telling me to get gud or not. Most people finish below their old standing yea? I went 7-3 so I did good but not amazing or anything.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Trying to improve my Vel'Koz game so I've been watching some higher ranked players. One player, AzzApp, pretty regularly buys Dark Seal. I have never purchased this item, ever, so I'm curious to hear some feedback from pros on here as to when it is good (in general on any champ) to buy Dark Seal, and went to stay away.

 

[SoulBlighter]

The dead gaem meme is more of a dota 2 thing than reddit tbh.

I'm pretty sure it's a soft MMR reset. If you had gone 5-5 you would have stayed at the MMR you were reset to.

Omg the doublelift news is the saddest thing ever. like damn.

 

[Flow]

Irelia is a ban

 

[Luigi87]

Hopefully by the time I get my account I lovingly named IreliamFeelingIt to 30, she won't be so highly banned.

 

[Jarsonot]

I'm in love with Tahm top. Almost always demolish my lane. (I'm in bronze, however.)

Why isn't this played more? Tahm's a great tank, good damage, good cc, can save peeps in a team fight while also being extremely annoying/dangerous to enemy team...

Illaoi gives me some trouble, but I think I'm just bad against her because of lack of experience against the champ. I've been crushing everyone else, even Vayne, after I rushed bramble vest.

 

[Acquila]

Tahm top (and I think JG too?) used to be meta; pick or ban, in fact ("unbench the kench!").

They just gutted him all around (especially his damage output) so top Kench is nowhere as good as he used to be.

 

[zkylon]

tk is a pretty big pick in lck at least right now (and he's getting nerfs soon i think?)

Click to shrink...

He's picked pretty often at pro level as support, but (at my level) he's pretty OP top lane. I'm not saying he's necessarily the BEST top lamer, but against melee he's really strong, and he's a lot of fun to boot.

And from what I remember it's a small nerf, something to do with less movement speed towards enemy when you have an ally in the belly.

 

[Hero]

I used to play TK jungle when he came out, it was glorious. I did it recently and I guess the enemy team wasn't prepared for the unbench.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I should play Tahm top. I really like top lane. There's a lot of cool champs you can pick.

 

[Orochinagis]

Holy cow, Lux hits like a truck, I couldnt do anything to save my adc and lost

Yeah, if she gets ahead it can be rough. Tahm can swallow your ADC out of her bind, or Morgana can spell shield them to avoid it altogether. Otherwise if he can't dodge it.. good luck. =)

 

[Tizoc]

So next champ is Bilgewater based? Wonder if it's a shark or fish creature :P

Nunu is getting redone which is interesting, his ult is pretty tricky to land properly, but brushes in ARAM usually guarantee it damaging peeps :V

New champ's a support, and they've said how they want to make new champs play the game in new ways, so I'm really interested to see what they've come up with. Shouldn't be damage oriented (support) so maybe some unique CC or movement abilities?

Looking forward to it. I imagine with so many champions already it's hard to come up with original ideas.

Hi friends! I know I've been flying under the radar lately, but I'm a motion graphics artist at Riot who works on tons of login screen animations among other things. I wanted to share a tutorial I recorded for this interested in seeing how we animate and rig the characters of said screens in After Effects. Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

(Note the target audience is After Effects users, but you might get a kick out of it anyways haha)

Thanks!

 

[Scar]

Do you guys ever team up?

I used to play this with a squad, we all quit like 4 years ago.

I just got back into the game, but it's not the same.
