Yes, but idiots would stack traps on top of each other like Shaco boxes instead of spacing them out and dragging the big camps into them.

I'm not entirely sure what to do about them. I've sent in reports before, I've also sent in screenshot manual support tickets before. I feel like Riot is aware of the problem but don't care to do anything about it, because for every account stamped out you probably get 12 new ones. Not to mention that I believe most of the random name botted accounts are leveled up to be farmed and sold as new Level 30 accounts to other people and then those people end up buying RP and stuff, so Riot is actually making money on the tail end of this enterprise.

Depending on how careful the buyers are, the accounts get banned regularly. They don't just milk them.

I like Cass, but I feel the rework is the kind of thing that only highly skilled people can make use of, so I probably won't touch her again (I did a brief foray into support Cass before the rework, it wasn't too bad but doesn't hold a candle to actual supports).

If I were to lane as Cass nowadays, I'd probably be terrified through 90% of the game, assuming we live to see the late game where I am actually doing significant damage.

This is a real thing. There is a huge market for it. Pretty easy to do too and the general consensus there is riot unoffically allows it. You don't even need to vpn them separately.

This is why the whole leveling treadmill is ridiculous. Riot could easily still makes tons of money with it cut out of the game. Just make people play X games before they can play ranked. You start out with a limited champ set anyways so you will have to focus those games on specific champions if you are new and you will learn those champs that way.

I really like the targeting design for Sion's Q, even more so that the graphic charges to indicate when a knockup will be applied.

What situations do you think Sion would be able to use the full 2 second charge against actual champs? Seems more likely to be used in wave clear or something for how long it takes.

Pre charging it before flashing out of a bush or wall to hit someone by surprise. Face checks. Baron fights.

drat, a charged Q with a pre-applied W shield ready to pop at the same time would do some heavy damage. New Sion is looking real cool. I love these reworks because it's a new champion without the new champion cost.

I hope Taric is next...

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

At first I thought new Sion's walk seemed off because I'm playing with 200+ ping on the PBE which sometimes leads to jittery animations. Then I realized he's actually limping because of his prosthetic leg. He also has a special walking animation for when he's badly hurt (1/5 of his health left).

Different cultures just have different standards for what is appropriate to display in media. The Chinese don't like skeletons or skulls in games they consider it extremely disrespectful to the dead. It seems like almost every single game that caters to a Chinese market makes this exception.

It is objectively terrible.

Plastic sealed and refrigerated food is thought to be unfresh. Therefore leave poo poo everywhere to rot.

Loudness is totally fine because reasons.

Pooping is natural, therefore leave it everywhere.

Fish smells great. Therefore let it rot and don't clean up your pots or pans to get rid of the smell after you cook with them.

24/7 torrenting is cool because copyright, ownership and privacy don't exist in their culture.

Magic did this for a while, which led to some art that was way grosser than the original.

Do they like, not flush the toilet or just literally poo poo wherever and not care. Because that's a problem that goes far beyond culture.

edit: I always liked the premise that summoners were the players and therefore the ones viewing the battlefield from the birds' eye perspective and that the champion was just guided by the summoner but was still autonomous in terms of physical actions.

Any tips or advice for playing rework Sona?

From what I gather it seems that, other than poking the enemies, you are encouraged to hug your ADC to make sure your buffs and aura land. Other than that I don't see too many other differences. Itemization seems about the same too.

The shield on her W makes her play pattern a bit different. Instead of trading, then healing up whatever damage you took, you want to W a split-second before you and ADC start the trade. It heals very little.

I always thought this was cute too, but at the same time I think it is kinda silly when the Champion's lines were almost 90% talking to the Summoner. Though I don't mind it when it's kinda subtle, such as Amumu saying "Where are we going?" all innocent and childlike before you lead him to kill a pack of jungle wolves.

Well, Sona would literally be silent the whole game if she didn't telepathically speak with the summoner, which would be really boring for the player.
