It turns out when they turned Guinsoos into a hyperscaling item that gives a huge-rear end flat % bonus physical damage it's really good on a guy who natively gets a huge-rear end flat % bonus physical damage, makes you think

More people post clips of their plays ITT please, I like seeing clips of people's plays and it makes the thread more interesting imo.

Last night I was a late pick as support, and the enemy chose Rakan. Drawing upon my unimpeachably deep base of Rakan knowledge, I know that the matchup against Sona is "absurdly miserable" so I chose to give my team a really bad team comp in exchange for counterpicking a champion that I don't even really play.

Here's our level one: https://plays.tv/video/5ad30c4680db96873b/why-gently caress-with-sona-at-level-one

  • try to never play Rakan into Sona
  • you can't play Rakan aggressively into Sona
  • especially at early levels
  • ESPECIALLY at level one
  • why do you have exhaust as Rakan
  • Don't Do This, Rakan Players

The rest of our team lost the map super hard but it didn't matter because I went 3/3/22 and Kai'sa went 20/2/3. I was second on our team in damage, and I didn't build damage.

Maybe the catchphrase is true that one person can't win the game, but two people... two people can win the game

How does everyone record their clips? Just use OBS and export to plays or something?

You only need Plays, it records by itself. It's unbelievably easy. It runs in the background during your games yet somehow doesn't use a shitload of resources, it's like magic.

The beta client sucks though, get the regular plays client.

That's an absolutely horseshit skillshot, the visual for it is literally PAST her when she flashes

My all time best Lux plays will always be nailing a release Zoe with R, she lives with <50 hp, dithers around and gets killed by comet

The other was pulling Mountain Drake with E, and watching it kill Keeby cause he forgot it did that much AoE damage :laugh:

There was actually a period of about a month or two after Elementalist Lux was released where the projectile VFX for Light Binding disappeared before it reached the end of its trajectory. I still have a highlight from ages back where I shot it at a fleeing Amumu and he gets rooted by thin air.

ARAM is the only good mode anyway; gently caress if two players are inting, AFK or toxic by god let the game be over between 10 and 30 minutes rather than how long it can take to close out an SR game your team doesn't want to surrender.

This sounds dumb but whenever I play Wukong I just always get fuckin creamed in lane even though I'm pretty sure he's supposed to go even with a lot and win some, like Chogath and poo poo I just got my rear end kicked, can I upload some replays or whatever and people just check out how I'm feeding so much in lane

I tend to still be useful later and a lot of times get back to even KDA but man I just start every game by feeding

lane wukong is oddly squishy and requires you to really abuse timing windows to trade early on

Clash was pretty fun when it worked.

I hope that they mix up the formats from time to time, though. 3 day commitments in the evening for multiple hours is going to be pretty tough for a lot of folks (myself included). It'd be nice if they did 8 team 1 day tournaments.

8.8 PBE cycle's winding down; you can find the tentative list of changes on Surrender@20. Nothing really crazy since this is a smaller patch, with the biggest change probably being LeBlanc getting a near-full revert to her previous state. I thought some of her rework concepts were interesting, but it's clear that the rework failed to capture the quick in-out nature of LB's previous kit that people enjoyed. Hope the Mimic R reappears on a different champ at some point.

Other changes include an Ahri mini-rework, Galio getting kicked in the dick again (I think they're taking the Azir/Ryze stance with him and balancing him solely around pro play, now), Braum, Janna, and TK getting dinged, nerfs to early waveclear on a few champs, and a pretty significant buff to Vi. Might end up seeing her pop up a bit more now that she can duel more effectively early on.

Ahri changes seem weird. I guess her sustain is a bit harder to do than before. Depends how good her all in lvl3 and lvl6 is. Ult damage is nerfed but charm amp dmg will probably make lvl3 all in better. Didn't Ahri's charm already have this amplification a few years back?

Galio will be probably unplayable mid after that imo. His ult cd is already insanely long. They should have just decreased his q dmg vs minion or something like that. Too bad he was my most played mid this season.

Happy to see LB reverted. New LB was strong with gunblade but not as fun as old LB imo.

Waiting for the first ult is a pain in the rear end already. You gotta really make it count even now.

I'll play him still because imo he has very few bad matchups. Especially if you blind pick him that basically makes an assassin pick useless. Only picks I don't like it into is Cassio/Yasuo because they have so much dps they can still bully you even if you build defensively.

Really glad to see the Sweeper change made it through. Support felt like this constant struggle between roaming to help lanes/set down vision and staying in lane to soak up enough EXP to crawl to level 9 before the game ended. I'm starting to think the only thing staying their hand on Janna is that she's seeing the overwhelming bulk of autofilled support picks and they're worried about knocking her too far down.
