RealFoxy posted:The score is intentionally ambiguous so people don't take advantage of it but generally your warding is compared to other players at your approximate skill level doing the same things, so if you're playing Yasuo mid placing 3 wards will probably get you an S rank but if you're playing utility mid they tend to ward more often Given I don't have a smurf I don't know about how the ratings work at low levels, but I know the weighting above is heavily favored since champs that both lane and jungle (e.g. J4) are heavily skewed in favor of S+ grading in lanes. That is, you can be 11/1/5 in a 20 minute game but if you only have 50CS you getting slapped with an A or B.

Reminder that you're rated against the top scores that champ puts up, so on Kayle if you pick up a high kda but you're not a literal farm vacuum you're gonna take a hit to your rating

Hello, I played with one of my Bronze coworkers again today, and a friend of his who is unranked. We went 2/2 and I made the enemy surrender both times with my S rank Wukong and Karma "skills". I also got an otherwise toxic Akali to sing my praises. Thanks, Bronze league. I needed the self esteem boost.

All the cool kids seem to be running barrier on ADC + heal on support now. What's the deal, theory crafters?

el dingo posted:All the cool kids seem to be running barrier on ADC + heal on support now. What's the deal, theory crafters? Pro play, I think. The idea is that Barrier + Heal is the safest secondary summoner combo that allows you to just farm lane and ideally make it to late game stage since all the 'in-meta' ADCs are hypercarries/all the 'in-meta' supports are Ardent users. So Barrier/Heal keeps you from eating poo poo and losing lane too hard and makes you nigh-impossible to threaten without huge coordinated dives.

That has been the pro thing, though I've seen it on early game ADCs in pro as well so it's not entirely about safe scaling.

Heal is affected by heal power buffs and applies ardent censer and windspeakers, so it's unambiguously better for the support to use it than the ADC. Double heal doesn't work because when you get summoner healed you get a debuff that makes any more summoner heals weaker for a while. Exhaust got nerfed in 7.5 so that it doesn't debuff AS or resists, so unless they have a champion that bursts really hard and has to do their damage in a small window from quite close (like a Zed or something) generally barrier's flat health ends up being more useful on the adc. If Twitch is ulting or Trist is level 18 or whatever, your adc won't be in exhaust range anyway. This is only in proplay tho because gently caress trusting your support to heal in solo queue Taciturn Tactician fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Oct 16, 2017 |

Barrier also comes up a full minute faster, and can't have its effect reduced by grievous wounds, which is ubiquitous thanks to the new thornmail.

My ADC asked me to take Heal over Exhaust and I had a perfect game and they went 7/2. Conclusive evidence (to just keep your delicate flower of an ADC happy) But when most supports are building Censer and Redemption anyway Heal is actually a pretty nice choice all round.

Rygar201 posted:And Morellos. Someone has one of those items every game it seems Morellos is pretty much in every game because it's unambiguously the best first item for like 90% of traditional mages due to its mix of massive AP, high CDR, mana regen passive, and, yes, Grievous Wounds. It's also the only item that builds out of Lost Chapter which is one of the best bang-for-you-buck partial AP items. There's not really a comparative AP item that gives you what Morello's does (AP powerspike, high mana sustain/cooldown reduction) without the GW, like Lord Dominik's vs Mortal Reminder. That might change in the post-preseason patch since I know Riot has wanted to do an AP Itemization pass for a while now and are aware of the problems Morello's creates in the AP item space but  who knows how long that'll take.

Yeah I'd say morello's vanity item being popular is in a large part due to lost chapter + d ring passive nerf. Lost chapter is so vital for traditional mages in laning that you sort of are compelled to rush the full item because what, are you going to do lost chapter and then build into something else which might well include a codex? Just finish morello

20% CDR and 100 AP is massive in a single item. That included with a huge pool of mana, an amazing mana restoration passive for teamfights, and grievous wounds makes Morello an obvious choice for almost every mage that likes CDR/Mana. Just about the only mage I can think of that skips Morello is Annie because she doesn't need CDR or Mana to do her job.

I'm not really sure what they can do to fix the root of the issue without adjusting mages as a whole so that mana regen from items is a luxury and not a necessity. Otherwise people are just going to figure out which one has the best combination of power and efficient build path and then we'll have 90% of mages building that item instead of Morellos.

It was actually a little different back when death fire grasp was in the game, or at least I think so.

Morellos used to be 100% mana Regen, 80 AP, and non-unique 20% CDR, it's always kind of been a problem in some way or another. I think reducing it back to 80 AP would be a decent start - 100 AP is just too drat much for an item as stat loaded as Morellos is natively.

Morellos makes mages more enjoyable to play and it's only a problem if those champs are outperforming others. If you want more build diversity then make 2 or 3 slightly different versions of it like with the zeal items.

On some level they must be okay with just pushing every mage onto Morellos though - when they realized Taliyah was doing too much damage consistently, their solution wasn't "reduce her damage," it was "increase her mana costs." And since she obviously would never build Athene's....well, what's up Morellos.

Morellos is also great item because it fucks tanks who get a lot of regen in fights (WW, maokai, darius, for example).

Just give like, 3-4 different mana options that you can pick from with varying effects and you're golden.

 I like olaf mid. Zero wind up time, unlike anivia where you're useless for the first 15 minutes of the game. That xin camped me so hard, but if you're olaf you can just 1v2. Methanar fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Oct 17, 2017 |

I like this game but the more heroes I buy the closer I come to the realization that eventually I'm gonna run out of cheap heroes and saving 4800+ IP for a new one will take weeks, and I refuse to spend a single cent in a f2p pay to win scheme. Thank god they're getting rid of runes, but would it kill them to drop their prices a little? A 5 year old hero shouldn't cost as much as one released today.

Additionally once the new system kicks I think you will get chests (containing champ shards sometimes) as you level. Sounds like the lower level you are, the more you get champion related stuff whereas people who have been playing longer will get more vanity focussed stuff
