Another way to read it is as the cooldown reduction being a penalty for missing more then a bonus for hitting, say burst mage A has their catch CC on a 10 second cooldown and caster B has theirs on a 15 second cooldown that refunds 5 if it hits, it might look like a bonus, but it's really a penalty.

Course that argument is invalid because zoe's sleep was absurdly spammable.

one should stop playing ranked if that happens, but more prudently, one should post the replay of the adolf hitler game for us to witness

The biggest reason is that they're conceptually easy to develop skins for due to their relatively clean, simple silhouettes and uncomplicated particle effects. Taliyah's been one of the most popular midlaners worldwide since her release, but she's just getting a new skin (the SSG one, and even that's a bit up in the air) in 2018, two years after her release. The reason's because her silhouette requires those long, flowing sleeves and rock or rock-like particles to make her instantly readable as Taliyah, constricting an artist's ability to design a creative but readable skin. Someone like Lux, whose silhouette is "girl with wand" and particle effects that merely need to read as "light," is far easier to design a skin for.

I mean, you ain't ever gonna hear me complain about Luxanna Crownguard, the Lady of Luminosity, getting more skins, but I can understand the frustration if you're an ASol one-trick wondering if you're ever going to get to be something other than "ASol but redder."

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
The weird thing about Lux skins is that I hardly ever see her anywhere except ARAM because she's still kind of slow and sluggish. Just about every streamer girl on Twitch plays her in every lane, though.

It's been a while since I checked the numbers, but she's been historically popular in lower MMRs where people don't play the lane well, which makes having dogshit waveclear and an incredibly linear combo less of a burden. Once you get past mid Diamond, you generally only see two or three people who are insanely dedicated one-tricks that can still spin out wins, and then people who occasionally play a game of her on a lark.

Speaking of League babes, Kai'Sa's spotlight is out and the PBE branch's been cut, which means we should expect a patch this Wednesday. Nothing really crazy on the PBE aside from some decent Jhin buffs, a few nerfs to overperformers like Galio, Azir, and Ryze, and Cloud Drake now giving a bonus to total movement speed instead of just out-of-combat speed.

No, it's very obvious why they release skins for the three anime protagonist knockoffs and the big tittied pirate lady and it's fuckin' annoying, there are like 130+ other champions they could make legendaries/ultimate skins. It can't possibly be that hard.

Also Taliyah is boring and lovely, that's like admiring Quinn's visual look for being so clean lined and identifiable and blah blah blah

it can be two things and also saying "it can't be that hard" about anything related to game development let alone a game that has some sort of constantly on component like MOBAs/MMOs prove you know gently caress And All about this poo poo

e: like seriously it does not take a rocket scientist to understand that silhouette/particle readability is a huge issue in any game in which you have a cast that is meant to have some sort of basic "easy to identify as x" visual cues like most online multiplayer games try to do
