the 102 cs mid lane TF...

though if he died 19 times is it fair to say he spent almost half the game time looking at a black and white screen?

he spent the first 10 minutes "lagging" and repeatedly walking down mid and dying to fizz, then the next 10 randomly making decent plays that we were able to capitalize on using his ult in between going back to really dumb feeds because of "FREAKEN GF". then just sort of existed for the last 15 minutes or so of game time

the best thing about the taric rework is that when he's selected in champ select his head is cut off because of the circle splash art so all you see is his chest

National tragedy.
I had lost a bunch and was sitting at gold v 0 lp because I can't stop playing sion fill. I decided since I want to actually win a game again I would lay off sion for a bit. Queued three times, got first pick top each time, picked sion and hard carried all three games. I'm sorry choochoo train monster, I'm sorry I doubted you.

with the new way voidlings work but also the integrated field with the malzahar ult ad malzahar is going to be a LOT scarier. having one less cast and less prep required to get your 2-3 voidling swarm out makes a big difference for in lane all ins, and now the timing windows are significantly more forgiving. the maximum damage the voidlings do has actually been increased for some reason too(320% AD scaling at max versus 300%) and with the ult being a lot easier to make voidlings stick up on people(not to mention extra movespeed) you are going to absolutely shred the gently caress out of people in games now. he is absolutely going up there with amumu and fizz for my most played jungle if they do not nerf something about that kit

Which is a shame, he's actually pretty good right now. I've been playing him more lately (4-1 in ranked with him at the moment, admittedly tiny sample size) and he actually feels pretty strong. A lot of other junglers are either doing the semi-cheesy clear that gets a really early 6 or trying to gank earlier to counter that, which gives a lot of room to steal stuff/powerfarm to a stronger 6 (and 150 gold earlier item spikes) etc. More significantly, Runic Echoes is so much better on him that the jungle sheen item, and the CDR boot buff lets you flash ult a lot more if you need to go that route.

Still an awkward little scarecrow, but definitely worth trying! For whatever reason he seems to mostly be played by people with 100s of games on him and nowhere else, but he's honestly not that hard to pick up and is fun to play atm.

I've been playing him with mpen/scaling hp/cdr/ap, max w - q - e, level w-e-q, go Runic w/blue or teal smite -> CDR/Sorcs Shoes -> Hourglass -> Abyssal/Dcap/Void/Rylais in approximately that order, if anyone wants a standard build to try.

e: Although if most fiddle's perform like the one in that game, then maybe it's a mercy so few people play him...

What exactly does the little ward indicator dot mean? "Ward spotted here in the last X minutes"? How long does that last?

Are you in or are you out?
Just had a team as Taric with Kindred Katarina and Tristana. Two reset champions and two invulnerability ults. Every important fight basically went get jumped on, Kindred ult, both teams get low, chain Taric ult on only our team and the reset champions go to town and the entire enemy team dies. Like, just Kindred or just Taric with glass cannons is good, but Kindred and Taric is just disgusting.

It's "ward debris" -- all wards leave them behind when their timer runs out and they die, regardless on if you had vision of them being placed or not. Stays there the entire game.

The idea is that it's supposed to give you clues at to where the enemy team is regularly warding but I dunno if it's meaningful information at all.

Ignite Memories
Feb 27, 2005

What?? That's weird. I thought it was an indicator that a ward had been spotted going down. So you're saying they don't appear til the ward dies?

Yep. They tossed it in in this preseason.

Preseason Changes posted:

For the second goal, we’re removing Stealth Wards from the shop so teams will need to rely more heavily on their pink (and blue trinket!) wards to get the vision control they need. In tandem with this change, however, we’re also adding a new feature in ward ‘debris’ when a ward passes on. By giving you the ability to see the dead bodies of wards who’ve moved on with their lives, you’ll be able to learn more about your opponent’s vision habits as well as your own.

I'm not even a little surprised this happened. Malz was basically going to have an 18 second CD that says "Kill target jungle camp" which - while it might have made him viable as a jungler - meant he could just take wolves/wraiths on cooldown with one button.
