Peckerhead isn't used enough as an insult if you ask me.
I think yasuos design is super lame and an embarrassment to character design.

I did say I love Veiger's gleeful evilness and I'd be upset if they changed him from that.

to me league of legends was only okay during its days where it controlled like scorched earth. having to move your guys is unfair and unfun for a lot of us, and it causes a skill gap and its the fault of mobility creep

Hyped for the practice tool. Will make learning champions a bit easier I don't like playing normals or trying out champs in ranked blindly so that only leaves bots as of now.

Also anyone else always having issues with the patcher. It always bugs out the first time for me and I have to restart client or repair it to make it work.

Yasuo is a champion like RIven in that he's got layers of mechanics that many other champions just don't have.

I miss the simpler days of League of Legends when you just pointed your cursor and tapped your ability to make it happen instead of all these abilities that do multiple things.

I have consistently not liked these more complicated champions, whether playing them, on my team, or on the enemy team.

Honestly, with how far their design has tilted towards skillshots and multi-part abilities, they could make a simple character whose abilities are all point and click and it would feel new and exciting. Let me click on a man and know that that man will be stunned.

Basically what I'm saying is give me Rubick and Vengeful Spirit.

I really like most things about Kindred. Her skill set. Her marks mini game. That you can get them from jungle camps and objects or from killing enemy champions. I like the idea of the companion wolf thing. Voice acting seems ok.

Unfortunately, she is purposely tuned down right now and she seems like she doesnt quite fit with the current meta.

I don't really like that she is some sort of weird anime lamb thing, but its hardly a big deal. Almost wish i could swap out the skin with Ashe or Vayne or somethin. Don't know if that is possible ans I doubt that would be a very smooth swap.

I just finished playing two games as Miss Fortune support. If you get an open minded team, it's really fun. Build AP and get a liandrys, frozen mallet, and rylais for on hit effects. Spam E and ult. Bronzes can't handle that poo poo, and we push lane like crazy.

...I'm sorry. I can't seem to remember any of the rest.
it was a specific counterpick to zyra (and probably malz now) but it's still kind of a weird pick and the worlds picks were singlehandedly responsible for tanking her winrate in solo queue for about a week, so people are understandably iffy on it

Yeah, I was thinking about the Cleaver, but it seemed a better idea to go with the stuff I built in those two games, as there were no heavy tanks on the enemy teams. All assasins and mages. I'll build it when I see a malphite or something. Unless I'm missing something?

Kindred was a good idea but the execution was...odd. They're probably the best personification of death I've ever seen in a video game. The aesthetics and voice acting are stellar. I really liked the lore that got put together.

The problem is that somebody thought "hey remember jungle Twitch? We should have an ADC that is supposed to jungle!" They're difficult to play and aren't garbage bin nerfed but that was...not a good idea and now Rito needs to figure out what the gently caress do with them. Like they deliberately did their best to balance ADCs out of every role but ADC but then specifically created a jungle ADC. Like...what?

The other snag is Kindred is expected to be a heavy damage dealer but do so on a jungle budget. Plus you lose out on a lot of the things that junglers are expected to do when you pick Kindred.

You can't reliably apply many ticks of E outside of laning, your E already slows, and the damage of bullet time when you stack AD is so high, even with one or two items down from eye of the watchers or FQC + Sightstone, that it's just better to get a cleaver and stack AD so you can blow poo poo up. With cleaver you effectively hand your ADC an extra item because YOU supply ArPen. There's zero reason to go AP on support MF.

i think the jungle ADC thing actually works well, she doesn't feel more out of place in the jungle than nidalee or graves. I just hate playing with or against that ult, it blatantly belongs on a support, not an ADC. if they replaced Kindred's ult with anything else i'd like the champ a lot more.

This is Riot we are talking about. This game released 9 years ago and it is finally having a client update now when the old client was probably one of the worst in any online game. Even older F2P games had better clients. They are probably run like poo poo because it takes them forever to add new features. The only thing they add on a consistent basis is skins, champions and balance updates. Sandbox mode is also finally being added on and they have the lovely replays which replaygg already offered.

Also they haven't made a single other game for 9 years not even a small mobile game or browser game that is somehow connected to the main game. Well they bought a development studio last year which were making Rising Thunder a f2p fighting game but then when Riot bought them they canceled that game. That studio had lots of developers/people from the fighting game community so I wonder if Riot wants to make a fighting game which they have shown interest in the past. Riot eventually does the right thing but it takes them years examples being the server move,client update, graphics overhaul, dynamicq etc etc...

Personally I'd love to see a Dynasty Warriors style game, but I'm wondering if they want to codify competitive fighting games like they'd done with their MOBA.

In all fairness to Rito, the coding side of things was slowed down by bizarre and arcane spaggetti code mixed with Air, and the graphical overhaul was set back when people didnt care for the first try.

Also people were making fun of WW having four gapclosers, but IMO if Singed is going to have a frankenstein pet it better be 2fast4u

I don't think they'd be able to do it to nearly the same extent, because SF2's been out for years and years already and what is and isn't in a fighting game has been more-or-less set in stone by this point. Before League, there was DotA, a small handful of spinoffs (Tides of Blood is the only one that really comes to mind as being anywhere near the same level as Allstars by TFT's time), and some weird experimental poo poo like Demigod, so they had a lot of room to maneuver.

I played a few games with Draven last night and he did seem pretty good.

Also, just as an fyi, and I'm sure a lot of people know this, but Rengar is totally and completely busted right now. If you play in high elo it's super obvious, but people are generally playing him wrong in bronze/silver (that is, they are playing him like old Rengar). I actually think that, even though he is obviously too good right now, his rework is really fun and is way more interesting to play than the old instagib Rengar. You also want to build him completely different now:



Basically this is the way I always wanted Rengar to function, as a bruiser, not as an assassin.
