allowing skarner to get his passive when popping an E was a good idea but it's way too short, you hardly even notice it if you don't already know it works like that

Anyone know if Riot will provide me with my full purchase history if I send them a ticket, or should I not bother?

Redemption is incredible and I got my first kill with it yesterday (though it wasn't a sick snipe attempt or anything, just in the middle of a teamfight).

One of my favorite new support things this season is the counter on Locket that tells you how much damage you've blocked total + your best. It feels really good to see something like 1500+ blocked with a single activation and 5k+ total

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

they can, it's just a matter of whether or not you're caught by an auto bot or if you've gotten a CS Rep that doesn't care. It's up to whoever picks up your ticket as to whether or not they want to go thru the effort for you sonce it's a low priority ticket

it's also really nice since it procs on his ult which gives you the speed boost to haul someone further into your team.

Imo he's in a pretty good spot, the new passive prevents him from gassing himself in the jungle and he immediatly threatens a kill if he lands his E on someone when coming in to gank (massive slow +stun when skarner finally gets in melee range). The only thing he's lacking is a reward late game for picking someone off with his ult, especially since qss counters it so hard.

Shiphtur is actually doing pretty well in challenger with AP Ziggs "ADC" and an AD mid like Yasou. I'm not sure if this says more about NA challenger or ADCs in general.

I accidentally took smite and JG masteries w/ CotC on Vlad mid because I was on the phone during champ select and totally spaced out.

Proceeded to have the most hilarious game ever. Pushed my lane and then stole buffs, sniped dragon, made sure we always had both scuttles. Ended up 7/2/7

It's not really a weakness of adcs that Zigg's retarded pushing power can be abused to quickly take out the artificially weak bottom lane towers.

It's a legitimate strategy to four-man bot and even if they run away you just take the first tower

What the gently caress, is this real? Isn't it bad enough bot gets endlessly dived this season but the towers are actually weaker?

it was part of their strategy to prevent lane swapping since you can no longer trade top and bot outer towers in roughly the same time frame anymore

Yeah, and it happened to Bot instead of Top because there was a previous problem where getting ganked top once meant you lost your tower. By contrast theres a significant chance that at least one person will survive a bot gank and defend the tower (in concept, not in 4-5 man gank practice)

I can't find the post in the last ten pages but someone mentioned ziggs adc is a thing now. How do I do that. Also malzahar is a support in Korea so my friend and I are going to pair them next time our top mid and jg all pick ad champs.

You play regular ap ziggs in the botlane instead of an ADC. That's all

what does that even mean

just play a champion that normally goes support. it is literally just putting Ziggs in the Bottom slot and playing him normally because your idiot teammates did 3 AD and you have to play Bot.

Tips for Malphite? What lane, what builds, what strategies?

I'm currently trying him in jungle but it feels weak and flimsy compared to lane Malphite, but then I have issues vs ranged champs that know to keep my passive off. I feel like he could be strong as support, but the early game until 6 would be very rough.

Play him top lane, go for sunfire cape first in most matchups, wait until 6 and then go bot and press R for a double kill. Repeat every time teleport is off cool down.

If you are getting harrassed by a ranged top just max q and play passively. It's ok to be denied a couple last hits as long as you are in range of xp and catch the wave at your tower.

what do you do to win lane against mundo as teemo? i rushed executioner's calling thinking it'd be enough to keep him from running me down but surprise, it was not

i'd never done the matchup before so i wasn't prepped for him being able to safely farm with cleavers, and i got him in kill range early but i would have had to flash for it and he took barrier so i decided against it :(
