I dont get how cool fights where no one dies are considered way less exciting than fights where someone does.

Strategically the issue isnt that denying early kills denies building early leads,
teams are still building big leads it's the midgame where everything starts to stall out.

How are fights at six minutes where multiple people use the same item active from the same mastery to stall out early action cool?

Sometimes you get insane fiestas (usually in the LPL) where everyone's popping stopwatches to juggle tower aggro and it is a sight to behold.

Something very freeing about accepting that you're going to be trash tho especially when suddenly you realize you've been farming long enough while everyone ignores you that your basic attacks are now tiny freight trains because you have all the items

Cait and Ashe are both fairly straightforward to pick up and learn, you might try those. Lucian is also fun as gently caress but much harder and I dunno how good he is nowadays.

MF is the best ADC, if she gets picked/banned before you get to pick her, just dodge.

She's sitting at a 49.8% winrate right now, I don't think this is correct (sadly)

MF has a strong two-item spike and then falls off like a rock. She's better at lower MMRs because you're more likely to go up against people who have no idea how to handle your Q. The current best ADCs are Kog and Varus, both of whom have strong one/two/three item spikes and scale a lot better (Varus especially).

MF has one of the better level 2 spikes in the game in my lovely silver opinion. Make it rain makes landing a game-over skillshot like leona all in or blitz grab easy, MF/Leona or blitz is almost a guaranteed kill at 2, provided the jungle doesn't show up and ruin the party.

8.3 notes. Huge and well-deserved Azir nerf for his laning phase; should make him a lot more vulnerable and will hopefully break his back as the #1 undisputed midlane champ.

His updated backstory that was released a few months ago is now that a gay couple, with one of them on the verge of dying, made a trek to some forbidden pools in the hopes of them being healed and instead had their souls and bodies fused together by a trapped demon and became its new host.

The Darkin are a race of demonic weapons that attempt to take control of whoever is using them. For some reason Varus had his lore reworked to become one of those, with his host being two gay men fused into a third body.

Vermain

They've been gradually trying to tie everything together in the lore, so I don't think it's too weird that they'd make his bow a Darkin when there's already precedent. I can only guess that Kayn's development took place before they started working on Varus' lore update and thought that two champions with a similar conceit (normal human wielding a Darkin while attempting to fight off its corruption) wouldn't work well narratively, which is why his new story is such a massive departure from the old stuff.

:siren:Activating Stopwatch or Zhonya's now cancel's [sic] Ryze's ultimate as though he had been interrupted by crowd control.:siren:

On one hand, this interaction was pretty gamewarping in pro play and I'm glad it's gone. On the other, I wonder how low Ryze's winrate can get.

I don't think that J4 nerf will do much but we'll see.

Also Kat is getting nerfed so I'll just play Zed I guess.
