Don't play support Willump. Don't support with a literal do-nothing skill as a melee champ at level one.
take camp -> go to lane -> relic shield x2, consume x1 -> level 2 power spike

It kind of screws over champions who are dependent on vision and auto-attacks, which bums me out a bit.

Maybe if getting hit takes you out of stealth for a moment, it might work?

Thats how it worked in HOTS, yeah. Taking any damage (even their Sunfire equivalent) removes stealth and makes you targetable. I'd be cool with this addition (so long as less mobile stealthers got a short grace period on entering stealth).

Rework Consume so that Nunu has a window after consuming to regurgitate the health into his carry, baby bird style

turns out even when you can barely run the game and get a constant 4 frames per second and 160+ ping if you build sorcs first item on teemo against a melee when running flat ap runes and do not get hit you can do absolutely despicable things to people. at one point i had a 3 level advantage, at another point i had a 100cs advantage. still the most fun you can have in the game, imo. *

* to be fair my MMR is still sub gold as a result of exclusively queueing with my bronze 5 friend for several months so that probably played a part into it as well. but still, play yeezy rush teemo and feel the rush of power as you blowdart people to death

Give Nunu the ability to eat his allies to carry them out of danger. Also to consume enemies but only if he hits them 3 times first.

What if Yasuo decides to Flash -> E -> Q you? Personally I think he's one of the most unfun champion to play against, and a clear example of both the mobility creep making this game less and less fun to play and Riot's record with balancing resourceless champions (it's not very good). Also, Malzahar flash ulting kinda doesn't do poo poo now unless he a) gets a gank b) manages to set up a good voidling.

I don't have a problem with any of the resourceless champions in their current incarnations, they mostly have been balanced around having long cooldowns or other types of resource management, or have major weaknesses of some other kind.

A lot of players also seem to forget that there is a whole role dedicated to stopping champions like Zed from diving and killing dudes, noted good champions such as Janna Sona Alistar Soraka and Taric all are effective at shutting down assassin bullshit.

Riot is literally never going to delete a champion. If they don't like them they'll just completely redesign their kit, visuals, lore, and theme from the ground up and keep the same name. See also: Poppy, who kept her wall slam, "short demihuman with a shield and hammer" description, and name but essentially nothing else. They even changed her race :v:

They deleted cool Arnie impersonator AP Sion and it was bull loving horseshit.

I just got Aether Wing Kayle from a hextech box, and now I'm torn because I already had Battleborn and don't even play Kayle. But it's not like I'm going to use any of these lovely recolour skins that have otherwise come out of the box, so ... uhm? Any guides on Kayle? Can she still jungle and support?

Aether Wing is so much better than any of her other skins it's not even close

Like honestly you should judge skins based on how good they are for spamming CTRL+1/2/3/4 and annoy your enemies and Aether Wing is the only Kayle skin that has one (CTRL+1) so it wins by default, also Battleborn Kayle's splash art is garbage, looks like a Michael Jackson's wet dream

Kayle is the only champion that can actually play all 5 positions in the game and not be considered completely troll

Suppression straight up does not belong in this game, especially when activated from range. It makes playing against Warwick and Malzahar completely binary, especially if there is layering cc available. Also it being a unique form of hard CC that cleanse does not work against is absolutely awful counterintuitive design for new players.

Suppression was always their hamfisted way of appeasing players who complained "my ult is useless against a 1300 g item RITO PLEASE". It never should have existed like half of the dumb, overthought mechanics they've added since Season 1 (jungle items, drakes, trinkets, weaker bottom turrets, conservation stacks).

they're merging ranked 5s with dynamic queue now. also people at lower than masters queue will find a new thing to blame

Dynamic queue means you can queue with up to 4 people and then 1 person is left out in the cold and/or ganged up on by the premade group. It's really common to see people boosting a friend using this method and makes rank less meaningful.

Solo/Duo means only a max of two people can queue up, so there's more potential chances that someone will actually have to solo carry instead of just relying on others.
