Rek'sai is so good right now and if you enjoy the forest you should be playing her. I've been getting a stream of S ranks with her because probably no one is playing her. The QoL changes to her ult were exactly what she needed; everything else was icing.

E: The stream of S rank game is accompanied by a stream of friend requests - why do randoms do that?

I'll bite and stroke your ego. They recognize you are a beautiful, virile person who has sex all the time and is very wealthy. They wish to bask in your reflected glory (and also they want you to carry them).

It's more "Why do people send unsolicited friend requests?" than "HAR HAR I'M SO GUD LUV ME."

Seriously though, get on the Rek'sai bandwagon folks it's a wild ride.

I found it kind of funny that they took a champ who's entire power was in their super long range engage and went "hey, he has a boring playstyle cause this is his only good ability, maybe we should make 2 other abilities combo directly off it".

I legit don't understand what they were trying to do. Like with mao and sej they tried to retool their kits away from being overly strong at one narrow thing but with zac they just doubled down on it.

Day 5. I experienced the ocean for the first time. It was cold. Many hours of touring the city proper. Good angles to view the bridge and prison island. Ocean side drinking and snack session. Severe sun burns. Rocket assembly and launch session on the beach. Many hours of Japanese karaoke in a small room. I sang many songs. Yellow submarine is the only one that I remember and I did the best at. Also crazy train. Fight for your right to party and war pigs too. There was more. I was introduced to soju and sake. Severe sun burns. Good dogs at the beach.

That extra stun they gave him in place of what used to be a 100% filler skill is absurd considering characters like Zac are picked based entirely on how much CC they bring to the table and his Q also sets up his ult with how long the stun lasts.

On another tanky note, locket seems entirely busted on anyone who gets massive health, if I'm playing a tanky motherfucker and have gargoyle+locket I'm giving my entire team 2000+ HP shields, I'm doubling the squishies health.

How do you build her? Lolalytics has her at a 47% winrate, but that might just be the popular build(s) being crap?

Warrior, then Cleaver (sometimes with a Hexdrinker in the middle if they've got lots of magic or magic burst), typically into other tanky/bruiser stuff. 30-40% cdr.

i need to update my lumberjack* rotation, right now i have yi and amumu like... gra..gas..? may try reksai out, any other ideas?

*The area colloquially known as "the jungle" is actually more like a forest, so the term "jungler" is unacceptable.

different archetypes and play styles are healthy for the game. generalist picks you select any time are good, as are really specific niche bharacters designed for one thing. veigar for instance blows one guy the gently caress up. that is alright.

I hope that most of the missions continue to be something you can clear in bot games. That way wood tier players like me who rarely play still have a chance at the trinket of the week and at the same time aren't a millstone around the collective necks of the other four team members.

THE RESERVED LIST! THE RESERVED LIST! I CANNOT SHUT UP ABOUT THE RESERVED LIST!
I think there's some design space between missions trolling your team by making you play AD Lux or w/e (IIRC this was actually one of the examples they used in the missions devblog), and missions being completely pointless.

Has anybody actually shelled out for the cash shop thing that gives you exclusive mission chains? Are those any more interesting?
