They have good, distinguishable silhouettes with good color schemes that express their respective personalities (Xayah's a little sullen and withdrawn; Rakan is outgoing and personable), and their chimeric features blend well together. Everything else about them sucks rear end.

I guess from a design purpose perspective, sure.

Someone once said to me that Varus' pants look like woven pubes and I've never been able to look at him in the same way since.

Oh, I wanted to come back to this:

Sexpansion posted:

oh also, the inspiration rune that lets you go into debt is underrated right now imo

Future's Market is extremely underrated, in large part because playing around proper back timings is something you only really start to see extensively in mid-Diamond. It's especially good on Spellthief supports, since there's a high level of variance in terms of how a lane shakes out: you might have a huge number of opportunities to proc Tribute, or you might have vanishingly few. Going back to base with just enough gold for Frostfang but no sustain is an unbelievably bad feeling. Future's helps to smooth out bad backs and turns good backs into even better ones, especially on gold-starved supports in the midgame. I almost never play without it.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate for all League of Legends champions. They presented him the words: "Their previous lore was better."

It's a pretty common English idiom?

Tired Moritz posted:

Hoping against hope? What

It's an idiom that comes from the King James Bible (Romans 4:18), but the changes in nuance with the word "hope" over the years has made the idiom seem kinda janky to modern ears. A better rendition might be something like, "Even if things seem hopeless, you should have hope anyways."

I <3 Alton Brown.
So someone on my team declared Zoe, and I banned her anyway. I told him that I am playing draft to avoid Zoe altogether. He was 4th pick and told me to gently caress off. Our nasus top left at ~15 minutes, never to return. We won 4v5 because of Zilean, mostly.

The moral of this story is ban Zoe.
