Who wants a piece of the champ... :(

Didn't people get mad about Lux's VO redo or did that go over okay? Because Riot said they were gonna do more VO-only stuff. It's probably a pain in the rear end since they need to do them all at once so that means contacting a bunch of voice talent in multiple countries.

MY TREEEEEEEE!
I'm getting a little tired of trying to claw my way up through the ranks as a support. I think I want to try top. I am mastery 6 with Taric, I and I have done OK with him up there. I was wondering if I should take him up there, or go with a more dedicated top like Garen? I think a good Taric is a real help to the team in late game, but laning phase hurts for him.

I've done taric top a few times. It is kinda fun and you are definitely a boon to the team in late game but if you're gonna be a dedicated top laner I'd get good with 2-3 other champs (who are actually good tops). Nothing wrong with busting out the taric top tho if you think you can keep up.

I'm not good with any other tanky tops. Good advice. I'm gonna learn garen.

Fair enough. I'm also a support main who messes around in top occasionally and doesn't really play tanks there. My favorites are swain and urgot: both are solid laners, easy to learn and are impactful in team fights. Neither of them are 6.3k champs either which is nice

learn one other top who's not banned as much, like trynd or irelia or aatrox or something. you really only need 2 or 3 champs per lane but you can't just do 2, especially if it's banned a lot like garen

I know other mage tops like Lulu and Karma, also Trundle and Poppy now that I think of it, since I use them as support occasionally. Looks like I am all set.

Just got an S on Taric top, but it was against some knuckleheads who decided to duo top: Ekko with Zed as support. I just farmed under tower and until Nocturne came and ate them. Repeatedly.

if you want to do something dumb to climb you're gonna have a significantly higher win rate just spamming zyra and brand support than you will playing taric in the top lane

That's how I got to silver. I dunno. It just feels so dirty. I will say that my win rate was higher with Zyra, but I learned a lot more about warding and map awareness with Taric.

sion will always be a good pick as a tanky top so long as 1: you can farm decently and 2: his W exists

seriously, it's like a free warmogs at like 25 minutes or something dumb like that, and i'm not even good at farming

also sion has so much cc he's never going to be a 'bad' pick

It went over fine, but that's mainly because it was the exact same VA as before. They'd gotten her in to do the Elementalist Lux lines, so they decided to get their money's worth with a voiceover update for the base skin. The one they've said didn't go over well was a Miss Fortune voice update they only tried internally. Despite the characterization shift she's undergone, people still like the tongue-in-cheek sassy version of MF more in game.

The problem is apparently they made her too grimderp

which yeah is a poo poo fit for MF. It's not that a more serious MF doesn't work (her comics and stuff have been rather well received AFAIK), but nobody wants to see her become a Grim Fightman, But With A Blouse Taxed To Contain Her.

wait does DH trigger when you knock someone below 40% and not just when you hit someone that's already below 40%? that's a pretty massive semantic difference
