That's just what the game needs. More people with a reason to play Lee Sin, perpetual Jungle God because pros like him.

Ultimate skins are meant to represent a "final point" for their champions - udyr with full mastery over the spirits, sona and ezrael cast into the distant future, masters of their domains. For the Lee Sin ultimate, we imagined a journey of great growth and learning, where Lee Sin progresses from a bitter hermit who desires only gromps to a master martial arts - enlightenment of both the body... but the spirit as well. Gentlemen, presented for the first time: Fifty Minute Meteos Lee Sin.

Galio champion spotlight for whoever that cares

he looks pretty streamlined and I kinda like his kit but something about it just screams "generic", like he's been given a hodgepodge of recycled abilities that were meant for other champs but didn't quite make the cut.

One thing I really appreciate tho is that dash knockup, that it can't go over walls/includes a backstep that makes it harder to use as an escape both feel like really good design choices that i wish were included in more engage related abilities.

From a lore perspective it is very amusing that Sion, who whilst monstrously strong and 8 feet tall, is a rival of Galio and seems to consider him a good fight. Galio is huge.

So imagine Sion just running and hacking at Galio's feet to break him down to size.

They probably shrink him down when they put him onto the rift like they do for Malphite and Maokai because both of them are like 50 feet tall or something.

No see the rift doesn't exist anymore according to official Riot lore, nor does the League of Legends. The game is completely separate from the lore, so in the lore Sion is an ancient undead 8 foot tall man with an axe whose primary rival is a 50 foot tall marble statue that he has fought against more than once. In the game they're both 8 feet tall champions with special abilities who tank for their weak and tiny allies.

While I agree that boot options suck for AD characters that don't need CDR or AS, they've made AD assassins and junglers so powerful lately that I'm seeing 4+ of them banned every game and everyone being skewed towards having to regularly deal with them, so buying Tabi a lot makes perfect sense.

The correct response by Riot would be to tone down the actual problem, not the counter to the problem.

This is the dumbest poo poo and heavily echoes the Magic the Gathering writing team also being dumb as a pail of bricks with their recent "story" changes that have totally loving ruined the setting. What the heck is up with nerd-stuff writers these days?

Overwatch did it so everyone else is falling over themselves to copy because Overwatch sold real fast and caught the attention of the internet. This is the cynical view, the non-cynical view is all the writers have changed in roughly the same way from their old writing styles to their new ones.

Also yeah the removal of the League and Summoners is incredibly stupid, and the logic is that the League made it harder to write interesting stories because everything was tied into the fact that this superhuman UN made to keep world ending wars from happening exists.

Actually I'm pretty sure the non-cynical answer is the old writing sucked on fire and they wanted an excuse to ditch it. poo poo excuse, mind you.

I dunno, the change from dropping magical UN to them being out in the wild isnt too bad. It was really goddamned dumb that Hecarim's old story was he marched from Halloween Town, scaring the poo poo out of everything to get to Summoner Land and go "I want in this poo poo for reasons unknown!"

As for new poo poo is bad I guess it kinda depends on the subject. All the guys from Shadow Isles were rewritten by a dude that used to write Warhammer books so it's kind of appropriate to be grim and dark as hell. But then you get Burch writing fruity crap like making Jayce and Viktor childhood friends or Malzahar having a tragic back story about his dagger instead of just rolling up in his Void Wagon

Basically the lore has always been pretty campy/not good but I don't think anyone here plays the game for its riveting storytelling

The old writing had Udyr being a homeless man Lee Sin trained in kung fu as a joke and Gragas being a guy who opened his own distillery because he had already caused massive fights and dodged on his tab in every bar on the planet. Though I can't remember if it's Gragas new or old lore where he gets his land (and Freljord water) for his distillery because he impressed Ashe by drunkenly charging into a peace conference they were having and headbutting Tryndamere unconscious for literally no reason but that he was drunk and angry.
