ArbitraryC posted:The thing that concerns me about diana's change is it's obvious the intent was to make it better for teamfights but it's also obviously going to function as making her even more sticky in a chasing situation. But no one plays here anyways so she prolly could use a buff. It won't effect 1v1 chasing at all since 100% of the time she would use moonfall is immediately after ulting directly on top of her target. It will make her better at teamfighting though.

the riven change is fine because good riven players basically overkill people by two times in the span of her bullshit knock up and stun

riot wasn't happy with how riven could beat everyone except trundle and renekton, so they made it so she still loses to trundle and renekton, but crushes every other matchup even more now

Eh those Jhin nerfs aren't too bad. Less access to his ult sucks but it's not as bad as when they were talking about hitting his passive crit movespeed bonus. He'll be a bit worse for wear but his ult was always exceptional for executing more than being a basic nuke anyway. The hit to Rek'sai is painful, as are the hits to GP. I think this might be enough to put both out for a while which is a bummer because Rek'sai is one of the few junglers that has a lot of very dirty tricks people don't grasp. New Yorick looks like an amalgamation of Necromancer from D2 and the fetishes from the witch doctor in D3. I'm down.

I don't know what he did in HotS but I played only a witch doctor in Diablo 3 which was the only correct class to play in that game anyway but yeah they definitely were channeling Diablo with him. Now for a champion that throws jars of spiders at people...

HotS doc has the corpse circle (with a talent to make them uproot and hit things at the end of their duration), frogs that explode on touch and go out in a wave, spiders (cant be attacked, talent makes them leap and become unescapable for immobile enemies), and two ults; one that he channels to have a giant spirit float around attacking poo poo, and the other to have a giant zombie bodyguard. Yorick's ult looks like a compromise of both.

Nazeebo in HotS basically has the exact same "Bone Prison Cage" CC circle with the aforementioned jar of spiders, bouncing frogs, and a big unit ultimate that is kind of like Tibbers. One of the more fun mage type classes in the game. ^^ beaten

Libertine posted:Excellent Veigar players are already pretty terrifying even if they are extremely rare, his passive now scaling at 5 AP per kill/assist instead of 3 AP makes me terrified to think of what a fed Veigar will look like. If you get 5 kills this buff is a massive 10 ap increase. Seems pretty broken imo

Work Friend Keven posted:Worlds is coming up and that means it's time to buff riven I think it's probably more that they're re-releasing Championship Riven and want all the scrubs to buy it. The Corki, Orianna, and Malphite buffs are definitely "worlds is coming up!" buffs though.

The corki changes over the last two patches haven't done a lot for him and i don't think this one will either. Orianna has always been strong late but I don't see her becoming overpowered or anything. The ult change gives her a 6 second lower CD if you're at 40%, and 5.5s lower cd if you run 45% cdr. Although if malphite and poppy are strong enough to survive lane they will be excellent candidates for a ball delivery system

Riot has the mindset that people don't like playing ugly monster champions, but they never seem to connect the dots that those "ugly" champs have some lovely buggy skill sets and 40% win rates for years, usually because they ended up nerfed a week after the one time they were used in competitive, like urgot. Reading the new backstory on yorick just now and quote:If you aren't caught up on the latest Shadow Isles lore, here's a quick summary: Long ago, the Ruined King travelled to a place then known as the Blessed Isles; He wanted to use the Isles's eternal waters to bring his wife back to life. But the waters were never meant to reverse death, and when the King lowered her corpse into the magic waters, they became corrupted. and literally just a little bit further down. quote:Whenever someone is close to death, Yorick can decide to bring them back using a vial of holy water around his neck Ra Ra Rasputin fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Aug 24, 2016 |

I don't really understand what is inconsistent about that? The first one says the wife was dead, the second says that Yorick can revive people close to death but not yet dead. "The holy water can save people close to death but if you try to revive the dead it fucks up" seems pretty reasonable and "healing magic can heal fatal wounds but not death" is pretty basic Fantasy Magic Limitations.

So, uh, okay, this is a weird situation. The last time I played this game - the last time I even had it installed on my computer - was mid-2011. I just got my account back - apparently some dude hacked it and has been playing on it as recently as last week - and as far as I can tell, the most recent champ I can recognize in the store is Wukong, and that's only because I vaguely remember some Monkey King champion was announced back when I quit a half-decade ago. Anyways, the amount of new information is pretty overwhelming - on top of the fact that whoever hacked my account bought a whole bunch of more recent heroes (so, uh, thanks for the gift I guess hacker), I seem to remember that I quit right before seasons got implemented as like, a thing, and now there's stuff like item crafting and boxes and poo poo and it's all pretty different and weird. I'm split on whether or not I should just start fresh from a brand-new account, but I did invest a fair bit of RP into this game and I own a good 50ish champions (although whoever hacked my account seems to have sold off all my old skins, which sucks). Should I just scrub fresh or try and figure out what the hell happened to my account in the five years I was gone?

Toxxupation posted:So, uh, okay, this is a weird situation. The crafting is just free loot, you or someone on your team gets an S rank after a game, you've got a chance of getting a box. You randomly collect three key shards after matches, you open your chest, it can include anything from the store + retired skins; you pay for it with the new crafting currency. Best thing to do to relearn things is probably to start playing ARAM exclusively and find out what champions you like, then go look up guides for those champions.

Keep in mind that the crafting system is not unlike a form of torture; you will obtain an amazing string of high value skins, and then be forced to recycle most of them to be able to get even one
