My store has sacred sword Janna for 70% off. I like playing Janna, so this is tempting. But should I hold out for forecast Janna in a few years once that one rolls around on sale? Basically is sacred sword Janna better or worse than forecast Janna?

Forecast Janna has like, new voicelines and poo poo. I think Sacred Sword is only visual changes. Also it's just inherently not as fun. That's my onion anyway.

EDIT: LOOK AT HER

Ya know something I never see? Glacial augment. Well, I did see it yesterday on an AP support Shaco and by looking at his profile I found that that's the only thing the dude ever takes for runes.

Anywho, what champions do you like to use it with? Wasn't Glacial Vladimir a thing recently?

The number 2 frequent Quinn on Opgg tried glacial augment for several games the other day so I gave it a run against an Urgot since that's one of her worst lanes and I was doing pretty well with it until the total failure of my teammates snowballed up to my lane. I think glacial augment Quinn is probably very good especially if you jungle her.

Nah, he looks sick. They did a good job of keeping his basic silhouette but making it more aesthetically interesting (the horn design, the beating sword-heart, etc.).

8.12 is winding down on the PBE; you can get a preview at the usual place. This is the final midseason patch, featuring Janna, Lulu, Karma, and Orianna getting kicked in the can with shield duration nerfs, all of the Heal/Shield Power items getting percents carved out of them, and some new bruiser items. Please look forwards to every lane containing even more bruisers than they currently do.

Adc is currently full of Irelia yasuo Camille, etc. How do we fix that? By nerfing the supports that adcs like and buffing bruisers of course.

Well, great news: it and all of the other bruiser items with the exception of the change to Sterak's are getting pushed back a patch or two since there's already enough wackiness in the meta as it is.

Any advice on how to match up with players of our calibre? We're 4 new players and 1 decent player (me), 30-40 somethings (so watching youtube videos is out) who just like dicking around and my friends wanted to try League Of Legends. We handle bot matches well, but then of course they wanted to try human players, where we got instantly and expectedly decimated

Three of the 4 of our team is literally out of the moba box, so like level 3-4ish. I figured if we play enough ranked games we should lose so often to finally meet the right level of enemies, but is there a way to play 5 newb friends vs 5 other newb friends?

edit: im summoner level 50ish, been playing on off for a couple years. One guy played years ago, is like level 10, and the rest are whatever we leveled to in a single night of matches (like 6 i htink)

would we fare better if me and the level 15 guy made new accounts when creating a party of 5? I think I read pre-mades get matched with very different player levels

Anything that pairs new players and anyone level 30+ is gonna be super janky, so yeah in this case I’d make a new account if you want “fair” games. But every game pre-30 is super low quality, especially due to smurfs, of which you’re apparently going to be one!!

I would tell them to suck it up and just get used to getting annihilated until they get better

I’m almost 30 and I can certainly find the minutes necessary to watch YouTube videos on the bus

Tell your friends the best way to get better at the game is to fight people who are better than you.

Terry knows what he can do with his bloody chocolate orange...

Clash was, as expected, a clusterfuck. We played the first game after a massive wait, won, waited for another half hour and they cancelled it. Annoyingly, it counts as 1 win 1 loss and we got a 2nd place reward without playing for it. Why do they have so many issues with clash? (EUW)

i originally thought humans guided the match making process for clash (otherwise it wouldnt make much sense) but i wonder if its just some insanely intensive computation they run on the servers or something
