It's kind of strange to me that the Elemental Dragon buffs are permanent, but the Elder Dragon buff is temporary.

Odd, I know, but I'd think that the "big bad" dragon buff would not be temporary if the lesser buffs are permanent.

I'm 100% convinced that the changes to dragon/rift herald/turrets make sense if you look at it in terms of how it affects the pro game and breaks up the scripted feeling of lane swaps in 90% of the pro games right now.

I think both Poppy and Ryze are bad solo queue picks right now TBH (agreeing with Keeby, not sure whether Verv is saying "gently caress that dude, or "gently caress, that dude". I was thinking about trying to learn Poppy but her numbers took a loving nose dive on this patch and I was just like ah gently caress it.

im saying "gently caress ryze" because he is essentially impossible to deal with as most top laners right now. you need a pretty high amount of knowledge/skill with the champ to make it work though, but if you know him, he's very powerful. dunno if he's worth learning considering he's apparently on the dock for another rework?

edit: thankfully he's getting banned more and more, but of course that leaves open all the lovely boring tanks. i hate top lane right now

Dropped from silver 3 to silver 5. My actual scores are improving but I can't seem to get that 8/0 hard carry run. I know I've been playing support but Its rare that I've had the least amount of gold. Not sure what to really do since my go to game winner was poppy and she's been mega nerfed.

if you're losing but you think you're getting better, its probably just variance. in your case, you could probably stand to focus on a role or two, or at least a smaller cast of characters

i mean, just keep pressing "show more" http://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=Kerffy+the+third

edit: lol look at all the 0-1 champions at the bottom. you'd probably be gold right now if those games were graves or kog or one of your good champs

thats probably too many and too shallow to expect to climb, unless you're actually a plat player. imo, if you have a goal (like gold for the skin), find 4-6 guys that really mesh, get there, and then branch out once you're safely entrenched in gold5 (or plat5 or whatever)

edit2: would you consider yourself a really cautious player as opposed to an aggressive one?

i dont play rengar but my understanding is that the 6.3 bola changes totally broke the spell so im guessing whatever these changes are they're supposed to fix it. it might have been changing the delay that broke it, im unsure on that part.

rengar being too poorly coded to survive his bola cast time being reduced isn't a much better explanation, tbh

I'm probably overly cautious, just trying to survive the lane. It's why I get annoyed at other players for repeatedly dying (Riven in the first Sona game, Bard in the Vel'koz game) . My real power picks Poppy and Kog both got nerfed pretty badly or pre-nerf often got banned. I have a bad habit of trying to think "What's good for this lane/comp" when I'm just not good enough to properly execute it, hence the 0-1 list. I could try picking up poppy again and trying to get used to her post-nerf but with the changes to Guinsoos Rageblade, I think Kog has to be on the backburner. How bad did graves get nerfed?

It really, really doesn't, and here's the best way to show it:



It's much more niche now and directed at champs like Kayle, Kog'maw, and Jax. Otherwise it's just a lot more gold for a lot less pay-off than what it currently is.

E: And it's even more hilarious that now that it requires an attack speed item to build it gives you less attack speed than the live version.
