Weird bug in the game where there's 5 carries: Someone eventually does more damage than the other 4

It is mentally and physically exhausting to do that.

Why I stopped playing SC2, even though it's ~the greatest~ competitive game.

One thing I do really wish league had from SC is the really specific training maps - like, the marine splitting micro maps or what have you. The training tool's great, but having something where you could i.e. drill dodging skillshots or flashing tough walls or whatever would be handy. Probably never going to happen, but I can dream...

My all-time favorite throw is still the time when my team was down, like, 6k gold and a couple drakes and the enemy team had just nabbed Baron. I recalled and went to mid to try and push out before they could siege, noticed that three members of our team were hanging around top, and that the enemy team (save their toplaner) was clustered around bot, and so me and the jungler went up top to join them. They decided to base race us with a vastly inferior pushing/objective-destroying comp and we anticlimactically won the game while they were still chipping down our second Nexus turret. Definitely the most bizarre ending of a game I've ever had.

Also I came back to playing this game and I was playing like decent winrate champs like Wukong and Pantheon top (well not great winrate but you know, at least >50%) and kinda middling around in gold and then I went back to just playing Rumble even though he's in the winrate dumpster and now I'm climbing again pretty fast so maybe I guess just I should just play whatever I'm comfortable with

But if they want to give Rumble some buffs or a good keystone that'd be fine!

Glad my girl Lux got some nice buffs; I think the last time they touched her was around the same time last season. E being mildly harder to hit and a little less effective at zone control is a small price to pay for an incredibly smooth W that isn't as punishing if you whiff the first hit, a 10 second CD Light Binding at rank 1 (!), and even a little bit of extra dueling power with the bonus attack speed.

I'm already looking at it and I think the new dream Jhin Build is 2 Zeal Items of your preference, IE, Lifesteal of some sort, Stormrazor and the one that gives a big damage boost when you ult. You will run fast, deal big true damage crits with every attack and die immediately to a stiff breeze.

Who needs shoes when you run fast naturally.

Uh new IE looks amazing on Trynd. It's basically 35 crit and the true damage passive.

Essence Reaver looks underwhelming though.

I don't think Jhin is the best user of this item. His fourth shot crit is going to completely waste the second passive, since he's reloading, and the attack speed (while converted into AD) isn't going to be as good as on people that actually want the AS.

Looks like a Twitch/Vayne item to me.

It lets him run away faster after the fourth shot, as the MS bonuses will stack, more importantly it guarantess his first shot will also be a crit, which is huge for Jhin.

And he can still pop a dancing grenade after his fourth shot for extra damage if needed. But it's definitely more about the critical first shot because that + firecannon range = broken poke.

They're exploring ways to phase out crit. It comes up every once in a while in dev chats that they'd like RNG to matter less on things you don't have time to plan around, which is why dragon types are known before they spawn and I guess why scuttles spawn location will be broadcast early.

Various ad junglers will love it though. Kha'zix could put in some work with it for example.

What's mystifying about it? It serves a clear purpose in both cases: a way of increasing individual damage against defense-stacking characters that's more immediately readable (in that you can see from damage popups how much true damage is being dealt to you) than the usual ArPen/MPen route.

Lucian doesn't like leading with his ultimate imho and it's really going to depend on if it's coded to be used on Cast or on Channel End, because if it's part of the cast then you eat up nearly half the time firing off Culling (which doesn't scale with attack speed anymore)

I mean, I think it's okay for one or two female champions to have "flamboyant character who enjoys flaunting their physical assets" as a gimmick. It's something that's been written into Miss Fortune as part of her persona from the beginning, and it's not entirely out of character for a rakish quasi-pirate bounty hunter. The problem is when female characters' models and/or splashes are made to accentuate T&A even when it has nothing to do with the backstory, let alone when it actively doesn't make sense in light of the premise (viz. Kai'sa).

e: I am of course assuming that you are looking at GGMF's massive cleavage there and are alluding to the Kai'sa boobsuit controversy
