No, that change destroys her. If it goes through MF is donezo

plus it's a loving retarded change because it makes her much less fun to play too

It takes a lot of the skill out of the champ and is not a great change but MF will still be really strong without that. I mean right now MF Q bounce can literally 1-shot an ADC or support in the right circumstances, nerfing that doesn't make her an un-viable champ.

BTW here are my plans for playing MF in 7.4: build exactly the same items as in 7.3, with the possible exception of building Mortal Reminder over Lord Dominic's Regards every single game.

I'm often in a similar situation, I take large chunks of time away from league. I just use champion.gg and go from there really.

Also my NA account was recently recovered (made it in NZ before regions were introduced) and its got some whack runes. My ADC page has attack speed, my tank book has like +150 HP. Think I was playing a lot of shen at the time when his passive scaled off HP.

check champion.gg or lolalytics.com for specific champions although you can make like 3 or 4 generic rune pages and cover everything decently

marksman/ad
9x ad red
9x armour yellow
9x mr blue
3x aspd quint

mage/mid
9x magic pen red
9x hp/scaling hp yellow
9x scaling ap or scaling cdr or mr blue
3x ap quint

top/jungle tank
9x aspd red
9x hp/scaling hp yellow
9x scaling mr blue
3x armour quint

support
9x magic pen red
9x flat hp yellow
9x flat ap blue
2x armour quint 1x ap quint

Masteries same sites as above, generally pick what keystone you want (Warlords, Thunderlords, Grasp, etc) and build your page around it, most of the choices each tier are fairly straightforward.

We do need a Doctor House Swain skin though, with a Vicodin pill in place of Beatrice.

As a meta slave and op champ abuser I will feel bad for a few days until I find something else Riot didn't nerf or became op indirectly. I have just been playing Corki/Jayce and Leblanc lately. Such fun champs to play also playing them means I don't get to play vs them.

I'd bet in general transforming characters are a gigantic pain in the rear end even if they briefly sit in one form. Udyr has like no skins as a result

Still Swain is entirely way too unpopular for anyone to want a skin out of him and anyone really clamoring for dragon lord swain or whatever doesn't even play the drat character but wants to whine about things Morello said five or six plus years ago

gently caress, does Morello even work for Riot anymore?

Huh.

The latest Ask Riot had a pretty cool lore tidbit for Malzahar, about that dagger he's got: http://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/2017/02/ask-riot-malzahar-kills-the-lady/

It's the little things like these that show that Riot is leveling up their storytelling game, even if it's slowly.

PBE values can be reverted to previous values if it seems too much but I think even the values from yesterday were a huge nerf. This will definitely put LB out of the s tier unless q max is works really well but I don't know. Also I feel like they need to nerf Camille she might be even stronger with the new Cleaver and Ferocity buffs. Her e cd is way too low late game you can close more distance than a LB.

It's fine, her passive damage is still insane. They've been trying to do this forever, as she always got way too much out of leveling w. It would be like if Zed could keep all his poke damage and not have to deal with a 20+ second cd on shadow during laning phase.

That is true, since you need to design multiple characters' for one skin. I still think its kind of silly how much focus they usually put on the humanoid heroes, would be interested in seeing if its a chicken/egg "this hero doesnt get skins because nobody likes this hero because this hero has no skins/isnt involved as heavily in stuff", or if its just as simple as people being really boring and preferring people cosplaying.

Speaking of dragon stuff, one of the dragontamer chromas is a reference to DOTA2 Dragon Knight, which is cool.

Why does my LP gained drop after every win? I've won 8 games in a row to win my promos from S3->S2, and then 0 lp -> 67 (i think). The past three games I got 24 for the first, 23 for the second, and 22 for the third. Shouldn't it be the other way around? I have a 63% winrate and my MMR (according to na.op.gg) is gold 5, so I don't think I'm getting past my MMR.

I've lost my gold promos 3 times now. I'm not even sure if I've had more than 1 win across all 3 promos. As soon as I get in there it's loving troll city. Just had a loss due to my JG inting for no reason any of us could figure out.
Just straight up walking into the enemy nexus, "XD!! I got far that time!".

The next game: My JG apologetically told us his keyboard wasn't activating his abilities, so he had to mouse click all of his abilities and would not be PVPing this round.

Take me now Jesus.

LP gain is also affected by the MMR of whoever else ended up in the game you just played. It's possible your later games were actually against slightly weaker opponents due to matchmaker not always finding perfect matches and having to compromise a bit.
