I got Alien Invader Heimer. I don't think I played him enough to justify it... Have there been any really good skins recently? I picked up Count Kled and it's fun. Maybe the KDA Akali? I like the music drop on your W.

ToxicSlurpee posted:I've admittedly not been impressed with most of the reworks. Poppy's was great. New Sion is pretty great but that I don't consider a rework; new Sion is a completely different champion. The changes to Gragas I didn't even find really noticeable; he's still a fat mage that belly flops people. Eve's I despise. Swain's is...meh. I get that old Swain was unpopular as hell but I liked old Swain more than new Swain. I don't play Taric like ever so I can't really say much on that one. Gangplank's was OK, though. Not good just...OK. Those barrels are annoying. Terrible

The only bad rework was LeBlanc because they decided to put half of her kit's damage into her bonkers passive and never realized that was the problem. All of the reworks y'all complain about are for champs that were useless before. Like old Swain was legit "Am I up 2000 gold and has the enemy forgot to buy executioner's?" if not I'm useless. Fake e: the Garen villain system also is bad but that champ is irrelevant without snowball or flash so w/e

Firebert posted:The only bad rework was LeBlanc Morde, Rengar, Janna maybe, Morde again, Fizz, Zac... A lot of the Group Rework champs had huge issues, which is I assume why they’ve gotten rid of that system. Either it barely changes the champ, or it adds in some entirely new way for them to be busted (jungle and support Malz, Support Maokai) because they didn’t have the internal design and QA work necessary before they went live. The Marksman update was their best one by far. Quinn, Corki, Graves, and Cait have legitimately interesting mechanics; Graves has needed 999999 nerfs to bring him in line because they refused to just take out the knockback mechanic, but anyone clamoring for old Graves is a whiner

I'd say Morde is unequivocally their worst rework, but the other ones have all ranged from "eh" to "very good." The assassins are the only ones where they hard backpedaled on reworked mechanics, largely because they realized that assassins need to have a certain feeling of unfairness if you get ahead on them in order to be satisfying to play. One of my lowkey favorite reworks they did was actually Gangplank. I feel like the rework itself was overshadowed by how bullshit he was on release and his comical permaban status at Worlds, but he's got a single mechanic that his gameplay revolves around (barrels) that's simultaneously intuitive to understand, fun to execute, and enjoyable to play against once you understand it. It's actually pretty incredible how much of his old kit they managed to salvage to fit into the new paradigm.

I liked rework LB a lot better than neo-old LB, but I’m saying that as a support player who just doesn’t wanna die to that bullshit over and over. RR was a really cool ability In a game at Worlds LB pops someone in .05s and the caster goes “bring back old LeBlanc they said, it’ll be healthy for the meta they said”

Skarner was reworked in a way that maintained everything boring about him while somehow adding even more boring stuff on top.

Build Righteous Glory, run at people, shoot them with your shortgun crab legs, suplex them, fire your ult when they either try to run from you charging at them or disengage after that. There's probably more to it but I haven't played Urgot in a hot minute, he was pretty fun when I did though, and I know a bunch of people who play him. He's also one of the most pick/banned champs at Worlds right now, probably only second to like, Akali. Monathin fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Oct 27, 2018 |

It genuinely amazes me how many people forget that grievous wounds exists. The other team has Mundo, Yorick, and Swain! Their ADC is Draven he has a few kills and a blood thirster whatever shall we do?!? ...gee I don't know, maybe buy one of the items that has GW on it and LITERALLY EVERY CHAMPION IN THE GAME benefits from at least one of them.

i took a loo kat the last 10 reworks, and reviewed them on if they were better based off design sensibility, gameplay, and balance, and came to a conclusion that aside from a few losses, the reworks over the past year or two have been largely better and improved the game. with that said, gently caress you riot games for the akali rework. undo that piece of poo poo. keep the voice and stuff but just go back to the old akali kit because this new one is terrible.

I have slowly realized over the past like year that basically all my toplane go-to picks are just all the reworked champs I like: Sion, Yorick, Urgot, Swain, Aatrox. I guess also Darius because Darius got touched on in the Juggernaut rework but more the total reworks than anything

I just noticed that the worlds token rewards have been changed while the spooky event is on. I've got ~1300 tokens at the moment and am definitely not getting Popstar Kaisa, I figure I should buy the position orbs now rather than wait for it to swap back to the normal orbs?

How do I beat Le Blanc and the new Akali as vlad middle? I feel like the burst from le Blanc doens't let me just succ my way to 100% health. I am always too low and can't get the life back fast enough. Akali is just really slippery and hard to time my combos because of her cloud. I feel really immobile against her. In general, I feel like I have been really playing well but these are 2 heroes that I seem to always struggle with at mid.

It just sucks being down a ton of CS and then I am pushed into my tower. If I leave to match roam I lose my tower pretty fast. Not sure what is better to try to match a roam (late) or to just try to save tower and equalize the lane.

How does kennen work? I want to learn him, but he's so awkward. His poke is blocked by minions or requires you to get really close with your E. His ult is suicide. Twice I ran into a team fight and stunned most of the enemy team, then watched my team run off as I got murdered. Would he bet better off as a tank AD?
