Sexpansion posted:Any thoughts on Kassadin and the new runes? I've tried aery and comet, both of which seem reasonable, but not ideal. I've heard that press the attack kassadin might be a thing? Dark Harvest is nuts if you get rolling. It's probably the biggest late game damage boost to a full combo, and it instantly resets if you kill a squishy, allowing you to combo the next fucker right away

I know it was released in 2009 and started production in like 07, but it never fails to amaze me just how insanely poo poo old League looked whenever I see videos.

How Rude posted:Mordekaiser Yasuo Shaco. What I was really hoping you'd notice is that the game ended at 15 minutes with a 14K gold disparity. Did Shaco's red (since he started mine) and blue into gank bot, then just circled around and did bot again before rolling mid, etc. Absolutely poo poo stomped everywhere. We took bot tier 1 at like 4:30. Was just trying to show that Xin is currently super strong for applying earlier pressure basically anywhere he wants to. In other news, Tank Meta is absolutely a thing that is going to happen. Games I've recently played that have had 2+ tanks have always ended with that team winning, regardless of how much of a pounding their team takes early. All tanks are currently making GBS threads out a lot of damage and CC while simultaneously being incredibly hard to kill.

Yasuo actually sucks because he is competing with Shyvana, Irelia, Jax, Udyr, and Xin Zhao, all of whom dick him hard throughout the whole game.

Yeah, tanks are ridiculous right now, and Aftershock really doesn't help. That's a tremendous amount of damage basically for free, while also making them even more unkillable. Riot fix your poo poo.

I start tp, use it once or twice for lane, then switch to an optimal summoner spell (on malz usually ghost, cleanse, or barrier). You can always switch it back to tp if you need it for late game, which can be extremely powerful in some lategame circumstances.

They used it in kespa cup a couple of times; start off with an optimal laning summoner and then switch to TP or something useful later on. Cannot tell whether it's worth speccing into the inspiration runes or not but at least people are trying it out.

The inspiration runes are useful, and you get the trait from your secondary runes plus a buff to potion duration. It's not quite the hit people think it is.

One of the ancient race of darkin, Varus was a deadly killer who loved to torment his foes with arrows, driving them to insanity before closing for the kill. Possessed of wondrous beauty, Varus was imprisoned at the end of the Darkin War, but escaped, centuries later, in the remade flesh of two Ionian hunters. The two men had unwittingly released Varus and now bear the bow containing his bound essence. Varus now hunts those who trapped him in order to enact his brutal vengeance, but the souls bound within him fight him every step of the way. The mortal mages of Runeterra wielded wild magic, heedless of the consequences beyond their own world. Their reckless use of magic attracted the hunger of the darkin, who sent their fiercest warriors to conquer this new world. Varus traveled to Runeterra with the second wave of invaders, and with his crystalline bow, he assassinated enemy commanders and champions, helping the darkin defeat the mortal armies with ever greater ease. Soon after Aatrox’s fall, Varus was cornered by vastayan moon-stalkers and human mages in service of a golden-armored warrior queen. They bound him within his crystalline bow, leaving him to howl with impotent rage. By now, the corrupting influence of the darkin was known, and the warrior queen alone wielded the deadly bow in the final battle of the war, loosing the last bolt that broke the bridge to the darkin world forever. At the end of the Darkin War, the queen carried Varus’s bow to a land that would become known as Ionia. Her last act was to imprison the bow deep within a lightless cell sunk deep beneath a mountain temple overlooking the village of Pallas. There it remained, imprisoned by the natural magic of Ionia and the ritual ministrations of its guardians. The bow remained hidden deep underground for centuries, unknown, untouched, and all but forgotten until Noxian invaders attacked Ionia. Two beast hunters - Valmar and his heartlight, Kai - fought the first wave of these invaders at the Temple of Pallas. Though their courage was great and drove off the attackers, Kai was mortally wounded. A grief-stricken Val carried him inside, praying the temple’s magic would restore him. But the temple held only damnation, and both hunters were consumed by the unleashed power of the darkin. The very matter of their bodies was unraveled and bound together in a warp and weft of new flesh to craft a perfect body, fit to bear the soul of Varus. What emerged from the temple was a gestalt creature, pale and inhumanly beautiful, part human, part darkin, Varus was reborn as an entity with a war for supremacy being waged in its soul. The human and darkin elements of this newborn body are in constant flux, with each element sometimes managing to wrest control of the body for a short time before being reined in by the other. Varus fights to overcome Val and Kai’s resistance once and for all so that he may wreak vengeance on mortals for the destruction of his race. But Kai and Val fight on against his malevolent influence, hoping against hope that their love can overcome the darkin’s baser urges. How long Val and Kai can keep Varus fully at bay is anyone’s guess, but should this sadistic and egotistical darkin killer come to fully dominate his new body, it is certain he will seek to reunite with the survivors of his race in hopes of reducing Runeterra to an ashen wasteland.
