Quinn is relatively short ranged and her vault is buggy as poo poo. Her ultimate is also bad for teamfighting. She's a great splitpusher and duelist but not really what you look for in a marksman.

quinn plays much better as a more mid/late game spiking carry top, than the very early spiking marksman she is billed as. her trading is very awkward against a ranged champion since she relies heavily on her passive to win trades unless you spend Q which is always gonna be less damage than like a Lucian Q or whatever, or unless you vault which tends to really not work because smart supports will try to catch you knowing it's down. she can be very oppressive against melee champions tho.

People are supposed to get hurt by things. It's fucked up to not. It's not good for you.
i'm super jazzed about the new patch because I feel like that new Luden's Echo thing is going to kick so much rear end on Annie.

more burst damage and movement speed on a champion who relies entirely on the former and badly loving needs the latter? Yes! Yes I will! Also that champion mastery thing looks like dumb fun, but this game could do with that sort of thing, with ranked currently just bouncing my rear end up and down the same division boundaries it does feel a little directionless so I could very much do with a different dumb number to rise to keep myself amused. I write in that way but I do mean that completely unironically.

also those new skins are fabulous

Any high bronze / low-mid silver players with a flexible schedule interested in a ranked 5s team? So far it's me, RC Cola, and Andichu, and a couple pending invites. I say flexible schedule because in my experience if we are restricting time slots it makes it hard to work for all people. Flexible schedules (or no life like myself currently) are best for this.

Team name is Silver Squid

So did Karma get nerfed in that patch or am I reading this incorrectly:

So they don't get the shield any more? just the aoe damage?

They get the shield, but it's about half as strong as it used to be.

I'm a (terrible sub-30) Karma main and this feels like a really nasty stealth nerf, since R-->E is the main thing that's been letting me stay relevant in lategame teamfights.

i feel like people say quinn ult sucks when its the only ability in the game that has like 20 different uses.

1) it gives 80% attack speed for 20 seconds with rank 5 w
2) it lets you get back to lane
3) spot someone trying to camp a bush with your w and just blow them the gently caress up
4) 20 seconds of 80% attackspeed on 0.668 delay lets you take 3 towers in a side lane almost in the span of those seconds
5) when the leona jumps on you in lane you can jump on the cait trying to stay back and just blind her while you carve her to pieces
6) clean up the team fight that happened in mid while you farmed jungle because eh you didnt really feel like going mid for no reason
7) run away from people
8) run at people
9) gank mid from toplane and get a crucial kill only because you arrived at the perfect time due to your ult
10) manfight low mobility dudes with lovely damage
11) go from being really really far back in the the teamfight to actually being behind the enemy team
12) rush the inhib after the teamfight is over
13) go from the teamfight to kill the enemy split pusher
14) 1v1 the enemy adc with your blind that isnt a skillshot in ult form
15) hunt down the 25% hp dude running through the enemy jungle
16) be in bot or mid while your team does dragon because you can use your ult to come at the enemy team from a strong position if they actually fight
eh gently caress im not gonna type any more

There hasn't been a tribunal in NA for the last year, that doesn't mean there are no repercussions for poor behavior. They're testing a number of automated systems (and possibly handling some cases manually). I don't know how much of this applies to OCE, but no tribunal does not necessarily imply no punishment.

fun fact, all of the stuff you just typed out can be summed up with: "has a ghost", "has an as steroid", "can duel people"

alternatively, you can play other champions who do these things but don't require an ulti to do them and they can do these things with their ulti! amazing! wow!

oh hey since you're here i need to ask you something about ADC's:
why do I keep seeing people upgrade their boots to zerks when they could pick up a finished IE like 99% of the time with that money? Is it more damage with zerks+bf+pickaxe or something? If this is the case if you can get IE+dagger instead of zerks+bf+pickaxe is that just as good or better?

People who are reported enough will get chat bans or bans from the whole game, and people who leave too many games will be placed in low-priority queue for being a dirty leaver. It's just automatic, and I don't think anyone will read any comment you put on a report.
