Ogres are like onions
Here's what I hope riot do for supports - give us 3 new pings:

One that says 'OK ADC, you've hosed up your positioning real bad and eaten an easily anticipated thresh hook. You're going to die unless I do something. I'm going to have to give my life as it's better that I go down than you. No, don't turn around and continue fighting, that defeats the point. We don't need 2 deaths here. Seriously, stop, Lee sin is here and once he kicks off my head he's going to waste you under the tower. Its 2v3 why are you going back in? Oh god, support is the worst'.

Another that says 'OK Adc, you're on 30% HP, your summoners are down. Not a good time to fight. I'm just hooking their ADC to chunk off a good portion of their health to set up for the next fight when my cooldowns are ready again. In 20 seconds we can get a kill. No, don't go in, for gods sake don't go ham, it's not the time ah Jesus another double kill for Draven ohgodno'.

The last one can just say 'gently caress me how do you keep eating thresh hooks seriously you can see him spinning his scythe before he does it, also of course he's going to try if theres no creeps blocking, ohmygod stop it already'.

Pretty easy fix IMO thanks rito

It does, but it looks like the main complaints are "This doesn't look feral in the slightest", "This isn't even related to the look of the skin I payed for", and "I paid 975 for this skin, why is the cheaper skin looking better now? This looks like a recolour of the base skin" They're asking for a redo, which Riot has said isn't happening, but their reasons are a tad weaksauce since they've reworked other skins in a way which negates their excuses:

Reav3 posted:

Feral Warwick

So there have been many comments about how Feral Warwick isn't Feral anymore. We don't plan on doing big changes to the skin except small adjustments to the splash to match the in-game color more and a bit of model polish on his clothing. I did think I should at least explain the thematic and how we got to where we got. We definitely didn't intend to take away his feralness or ignore his previous thematic. Pre-Rework Feral Warwick was a feral beast that got captured and then escaped due to how feral and out of control he was (hence the broken chains on his wrist) We had to preserve the tanks on his back and claw for each skin so we needed to incorporate those into the new skin. The thematic is supposed to be similar to pre-rework feral in that he was a feral werewolf that gets captured and is experimented on and then escapes the lab, killing everyone and running back into the wild. We just added a bit of a twist to it. I thought it would be at least fair to explain our reasoning behind the changes.

Just to note, several of the other skins don't feature the mechanical stuff. It's fine to just say you're pressed for time and can't devote time and money to it, man.

In the end, it doesn't matter to me one way or the other what his feral skin looks like, because I already have his best skin, the grandma skin, although the hyena one is up there.

I wonder if warwick is going to favor AD/cooldown over on-hits now, he gets some decent ratios on his Q and R and his R was reduced from 5 hits to 3, I feel like he is going to want to max CDR with how good his E and ult are, but he might have massive mana issues to overcome.

learning to get carried is a real skill that basically nobody possesses because god told them to lock in syndra support, and that their adc would fail entirely of his own accord and that it would then be time for syndra to win the game

As someone who was really excited for her, I have come to really dislike Illaoi because she feels like the personification of the buzzword "counterplay" that Riot loves to spout from time to time. She has counterplay! You can kill her tentacles! If you get hit by her e and don't want to fight, you can run away and kill her tentacles!

And that's obnoxious.

If some other top-laner hits you with a skillshot and you don't want to fight them because you're behind, then your "counterplay" is to blink/dash/flash/walk away from them. They might chase you and dive you, and you still might die — but all during this time the enemy player is making decisions and directing their champion to do things. But if Illaoi hits you with hers, then you get to play a mini-game for the duration of its cooldown after which she can just do it again. That mechanic by itself gives her really oppressive and lasting zoning power, which she doesn't even have to actively pay attention to or direct once it starts because the tentacles follow you irrespective of what she does.

Sure, you could just ~git gud~ and not get hit by her e in the first place, but that's not "counterplay" to Illaoi inasmuch as it's advice so obvious and universal as to be useless. "Don't get hit by it" is obviously the thing you want to do against any skillshot. Or any attack or ability at all.

She shouldn't win, that is a really bad lane for her. If she pulls you with E, fight her because it will lower the duration of the vessel. Otherwise she can't do much, the Q is super slow and yeah that's it. If she's 6 and you're not don't fight her? Like her one good move is E > R to get multiple tentacles and then slamming you to death.

Also I cannot wait for ten bans. I keep letting things slip through bans and it destroys me every time: "Oh good, the diamond player in flex got the kha'zix jungle" *goes 38/5/something* or some other bullshit like a platinum LB. Also I keep seeing tryns lately which is a massive coin flip on whether their team carries them or they can split push for just long enough. Really unhappy to see him again.

10s a good start but I want 20 bans and each player sets 2 bans when they queue and it does it automatically when you get into lobby. If a champ is double banned they're unbanned but if they're triple banned they're banned again.
