A wide smile and perfect hair
He had complete control of the rising tides
And a medicine bag hanging at his side

In the flowing blue world of the death-dealing physician
I was still playing when zoe came out, in 2018 I've basically only played long enough to discover that the reworked swain is my new favorite champ and then promptly went back to overwatch

Riot, wisely: ah but this one is called Zoe

the most annoying possible champion design actually would be a character that has a skill that prevents people from auto attacking for like 5 seconds and another skill which is a giant silence and their ultimate is a global 3 second snare on both teams

All of my least favorite champions to play against are the ones where it looks like you have them 100% dead to rights and they press one button and lol nevermind

Ekko, LeBlanc, Zoe for that and seven other reasons, uhhhhh forget who else

yeah you are right they have to give global timeout guy a dash on a 10 second cooldown which also heals him but makes him unable to do damage for 25 seconds so that he is borderline impossible to kill and will keep preventing you from doing actions

Hi guys riot games here. We know that all of you loved playing against old Mid Lane Nidalee, so we’re pumped as heck to announce that we’ve given her even longer range hard CC along with every summoner spell in the game and called it Zoe.

Hey I think I'm gonna try to get back into league after barely playing at all this season because hearthstone's economy is pretty bad. What have I missed about top/adc/mid besides "play sion"

ADC is about to be massively reworked (items, champion stats, runes to an extent) so that'll be a good time to relearn, since everyone else will have to relearn too

Ekko is one of my favorite champions to play. I use to play a lot of Diana but Ekko feels like a better version of her. Diana has the same design problems of many older champions. Like Akali she feels like half a champion pre 6. Ekko is actually decent pre 6 because of his pushing power and with e + w you can get out of many ganks. Only thing is Diana can build a bit more tankier but Ekko also builds hp + resistance and Diana is braindead to play.

Morgana support feels very good on the patch but only if you have an ADC that is somewhat on equal footing as the other ADC. Last night I had an Ashe versus Cait/Zyra who for the life of me could not get to play around black shield. That game was tough to lose .

distortion is really well designed and interesting because of how it puts its cards up. you see where she is blinking, and you know where she can blink back to. the amount of depth the ability has makes it astoundingly interesting and it lets people pull off really flashy mindgames like distorting and then flashing into a bush across another wall backwards or something along those lines

Or it's a double jump forward or back which is outrageously boring and annoying to deal with

It's an ability that would be cool in another kit but not in the one it's actually in.

LB's power budget includes the strength of distortion. If she uses both of them to approach a target, she can't use them for damage.

reworked swain and irelia are both very good.

swain can be flexed top or mid depending on needs and it allows you to play a somewhat tanky AP champ so your braindead soloq mid can play whatever zed/yasuo/talon/whatever without loving over the team

nu-irelia is a Carry Toplaner who's pretty slick but takes some time to master. I think she builds Triforce Steraks and then attempts to 1v3.

zoe got nerfed into the ground so don't worry about her

kaisa is the new Hypercarry ADC who has ~flexible build paths~ (read as: build guinsoos), she seems ok

adcs are getting a pass during midseason so we'll see where that lands them, lucian might finally be making a comeback

as always, Yorick is Cool and Good and you should Play Him, but iirc the steraks change to give it tenacity and not make it as outrageously synergistic with triforce hurt him pretty bad

Steraks changed from +30% base AD with +30% on proc to +50% base AD at all times when the tenacity got added. It got more expensive too, but I'd hardly say the synergy with Triforce got nerfed

You can actually stack a ton of tenacity on bruisers now with the changes. Merc treads, steraks and the tenacity rune is around a 66% reduction in cc length. Think it jumps to 80% if you throw in an elixir of iron.

It also has a big windup and is really slow. Leona's spear into 8 days of CC is far worse IMO.

EDIT: And Nautilus Q, it just has the a very unpredictable hit box.

i am not saying it is overpowered, just that it feels terrible to play against because it is just slightly more everything than you would expect out of an ability you can get on a ~6 second cooldown

Which would be a reasonable claim if Alpha Strike actually worked to dodge anything at all instead of being a buggy awkward mess to use as a dodge move.
