I've been playing ranked lately and wow the games really do feel very one sided. This is usually the feeling I get around gold mmr where people have some mechanical skill but the concept of an objective based game is still harder for people to grasp.

See that's astonishing. SC ranked was always infinitely more stressful than League because when you screwed up it was always your fault an no one else

This, and the fact that there basically aren’t any peaks and valleys to the gameplay. You either are always 420 APM blazing it :420: or you are falling behind your opponent by 20~30 seconds in the macro game over the course of a 10 minute match, which is a large enough army difference to lose you the game. It is mentally and physically exhausting to do that.

At least with League you can bounce back and forth between low-APM precision/strategy gameplay and high-APM adrenaline fights.

Also scouting. gently caress scouting.

There's also talk about the work they're going to be doing on Marksmen over the next couple patches. You've heard the song and dance before - lane sustain is too powerful, crit item scaling is too oppressive, marksmen are generally too powerful and lane bullies aren't as prevalent if your name isn't Caitlyn.

We're getting Infinity Edge and Zeal item nerfs, Infinity Edge is apparently getting ~true damage~ now, Last Whisper is getting reverted to total vs bonus armor pen, which means Giant Slayer is being remove, Essence Reaver is being worked to be something more standalone, and there's gonna be a new big-ticket BF Sword item in the works.

Ashe buffs too depending on how IE's True Damage Crit works with Frost Shot.

I'd be down for those. Lucian was my favorite back before he got shitstomped into oblivion.

using Destiny so he can constantly be surveilling all the gaming women on the map. Constantly invisibly cycling between how he wants to either damage them and build back some of his own mana, slow their careers and everyone around them, or just put their lives on hold. Metaphor apt. Looking forward to setting a cupcake at his teleport point and crushing him..

Sounds like they're keeping the Mortal Reminder upgrade path, which is good because now ADCs might actually build grievous wounds when there's a Vlad or Swain in the game. This is also bad, because I play Vlad and Swain.

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.
Those new Pulsefire skins, especially Twisted Fate look awesome and simultaneously make Pulesfire Ezreal look even worse

That would require people to actually think about builds and not just build what [insert build site of choice here] says.

Didn’t the whole thing originally spring out of a community demand for a “Mega Man Ezreal” skin of some kind shortly after his release? It might have also been Riot’s first “expensive” skin way back in the day, although my memory is fuzzy.

For it’s time it had more stuff than anyone. Models, custom effects, voice lines, and animations. It’s a shame the skin was literally inferior for about 4 seasons

Think it's some good steps forwards. I'm never going to complain about ADCs losing lane sustain so that I can cyberbully them into irrelevance. Not getting instantly popped by Tristana come 3 items'll be nice, too.

Those IE changes are gonna be real interesting - IE + two AS items mean 80% true damage on your crit damage - so if you have say, 200 AD, you'll be hitting for 160 true damage plus whatever physical damage you can deal to enemy tanks, meaning they're gonna pop really hard to ADC autos.

so like, is yasuo just going to deal true damage moving forward or what? his ult already does huge pen

As I read it, the true damage on crits is instead of the bonus crit multiplier, so Yasuo probably gains less from the change than someone like Tryndamere, since he already ignores a lot of armor.

Lol remember when these champions got nerfed because they didn't let anyone escape the lane and let hyper carries scale at all? That was Riot's excuse for massively nerfing them and their itemization. Well Riot don't really care about balancing the game rather keep it fresh.

Ya I also don't see straight up zeal i.e nerfs help Yasuo in anyway. I will probably keep playing him, someone will find a new build. Maybe time to go back to Zeal/mallet/bortk if Crit is heavily nerfed.

I mean, this is probably the sixth or seventh time in the last few years where we hit the "botlane sustain is too strong" point. Even the big post talks about it like the phases of the moon.
