Does anyone happen to know what type of damage Ardent Censer's passive provides? It says "drain health" but I'm assuming it's akin to Grasp of the Undying where the damage portion is magic but the heal always heals for the same amount regardless of mitigation.

Good question, I honestly dunno.

As a followup does the healing count as done by them or by you cause it'd be p sweet if it kept triggering windspeakers every auto.

I might test it in a bot Game when I get home, it says it drains 20 health which leads me to believe it's just true damage though

With even the smallest modicum of critical thinking bronze players could be gold immediately via building actual items that work.

Half the players in this game are complete idiots

Just stop having a child's level of thought and you too can win games easily

To be fair, League has gotten pretty complicated without also adding dynamic build paths instead of static Dendi-Approved paths. In the wood division vid I linked literally every clip shows off a different mechanic or quirk of the engine, let alone the various items (Ardent, Redemption, Sunfire, BOTRK, etc.) that can muddy damage types and obscure the biggest type of threat on the enemy team. There's DOTA players who cant handle "im playing a strength hero, an enemy who just attacks a lot is killing my team, I should build the strength item that forcibly removes the ability to attack", let alone the funky stuff League tosses on.

Thats not to excuse allies that cant build anti-healing items against carrying supports or finishing boots early against kiters and other basic poo poo, of course.

I squinted real hard at a game where I built it recently and it appears to be like I expected: a magic damage on-hit buff (there wasn't anyone in the post-game screen who had true damage who shouldn'tve) and a 20 per-hit heal that isn't affected by mitigation.

It was definitely a magic on-hit before they added the drain component so I wouldn't be surprised if it still is

Lol ya his winrate is actually decent. I don't know why so many people lie in champselect. Do they not know that opgg exists? I don't always look at opgg pre game because sometimes it can be depressing seeing your teammate pick a champ they never played or have awful winrate/losing streak. Just earlier I had a guy say he doesn't have any supports on this account and he wanted to trade mid with me. I checked his opgg and he had like 100+ games on Janna as his most played. Unless he is playing a mean ap janna last I checked Janna is the very meaning of a support champ. Anyway I didn't point that out I just told him I am really bad at support. Well we still lost he picked Karma for some reason and fed with his adc.

Do chat channels in client not exist anymore with the new client?

Also good to see that after being away months with tons of changes I've missed the constant is that players are still bad so crushing out of the jungle has been a breeze.

Jungle is far and away the most impactful role in the game right now, I'd say, so you can breeze through lower Elos if you're even mildly more competent than the enemy jungler.

All of her base stuff looks pretty bonkers, but it's hard to tell. Ivern released with some absolutely terrible-seeming numbers, got a minor buff soon after his release, and is now absolutely loving unbelievably busted. It might end up being the opposite for Camille (although I struggle to think that any champion with scaling true damage is going to be anything but good).

That kinda seems like what they are going for with stuff like Knights Vow, Redemption, making Triumphant Roar a passive ability etc.

I'd be cool with that, since Rito's idea of a support seems to be "someone who feels very ineffectual and acts as a killsink for our increasingly wacky assassins"

In all fairness, he kind of feels a bit weak without it. His target leap range is pretty low and he doesn't have a crazy base movespeed, so the terrain leaping doesn't feel OP, just makes him unique in how to escape compared to other heroes (I.E dont juke around corners and side paths).
