False enemy or true friend?
It'd be super broken if it did that


I'm still amused by how stupid that Sona and Ezreal were and the Thresh yelling at me to tell you to stop throwing. Also that Graves at the end there was nuts. The sustain that character has is just gross.

How's AP Dunk Nunu now that revolver fills the space before Skitchinbane? It's always been funny to poo poo all over gimmicky buttonmash heroes in top lane or yungle with snowballs and munchies.

(Though free wards/sweepers has slightly gimped bush ults)

She doesn't even need to level her E, she gets so many free plants it doesn't matter, and her mana costs are low enough that you never run out of mana and if they ever attempt to move up into the lane to harass or farm, you just spawn 4 ranged plants on their dumb asses

Freelo baby wooo

You also can give god-tier jungle leashes for free

Take advantage of it before it's nerfed

I'm boosting my smurf out of bronze and oh my god I forgot what it was like to play in low elo. Get my ADC 7 kills in 10 minutes because of a bad invade and a lovely jungler gank so I go to snowball other lanes and less than 4 minutes after I've left he's 30 CS down and has died three times as Ezreal.

Bronze is amazing.

ELO/MMR in solo queue will always be a representation of how well you can carry/offset dead weight, rather than an actual measure of skill.

What I'm saying is, duo queue or always assume your bot laner will have the effectiveness of AD Carry Fiddlesticks and Bard.

Pantheon Support absolutely puts the screws to the kind of retarded miscalculated aggression you get in games at that Elo. I'm not sure if there's a stronger pre-6 kill pressure champion. I've definitely seen many people feed that early and the only way to recover is to play the super long game with tons of vision and hopefully pick him or someone else doing something stupid at like 40 minutes -- which again, you aren't going to get good vision coverage at that Elo so it'll be a clown car of 1vXs until the game is probably over.

I'm not sure who everyone is but I think the item is better now as a first item core on fast attacking hybrid marksman like Kog'Maw and Tristana. It's better as a rush item that can be an endgame core item. It's definitely not as good for melee hybrid dudes who built it like Jax or Xin or maybe Kayle (not sure).

It's fine on Jax and Kog and Kayle though not amazing. Definitely not good on Tristana. And there's a special place in hell for Vayne players that build it.

exactly. people don't leave lane at the right time in bronze. people dont leave lane at the right time in high plat either but at least in the latter case they (usually) have the reflexes to flash/heal if they see a killing blow incoming. bronze players will gladly stand around and get murdered

What was his position, again? Community manager or something to that effect?

Wait, was he the guy who justified no no-cooldown practice mode because it would lead to people expecting their teammates to be good?

I don't really get the hate he got. Taking a data-driven approach to behavior and using automatic detection algorithms that automatically account for most outlier cases seemed like a logical way to handle things. Lord knows we needed something better than the glacial pace of the Tribunal.

While there are certainly still assholes, I think the ultra-extreme nonstop profanity style has dropped off the radar entirely. Their approach completely makes sense if you view it as Riot trying to grow the market share of their game by getting people who aren't OK with being called faggots because they gave up first blood.

Maybe it worked better on the large-scale, but personally getting restricted for being annoyed at intentional trolls (no expletives, no impact on team play) or having to write a pre-determined apology for leaving a game (because the patcher didn't detect missing/corrupted files until after I loaded a match with no models) just made me more frustrated. Losing free skins for 60 days because of an automated decision just makes me want to play other MOBA's.

Like, it's okay to be annoyed sometimes in games; not everyone is an esports player who needs to pretend to be happy in service of Winning The Videogame. It's okay to talk things out and have disagreements.

Neither Lyte nor any member of his team ever said anything like that. That was purely a statement by a random Riot PR guy, I doubt he had anything to do with sandbox or the lack thereof.
