Placements

See your rank after just one game.

"Placements suck: Deposit ten games into the anxiety box and hope for the best. We fixed that."

JUST ONE - See a provisional rank after just one Ranked game. It’s only visible to you until your placements are complete.

ALL THE WAY UP - In your remaining placement games, you earn bonus LP in wins and can’t lose LP

UNLOCKED - After your placement games, your rank will be available for all to see

NO RESET - There’s no reset during preseason, so you’ll need to be unranked in a queue to try new placements before season start

Provisions are the exact same, except now, they pretend that its better. You will still end up in the same spot, but since you can see your upwards progress it will feel better (*). Y

Your first few games are probably still worth the most points.

It doesn't seem that consequential honestly. A small heal on your execute ability is usually not gonna swing a fight. I'm worried about Akali to be honest. She has AD ratios on her passive, her Q, her E and her R and currently, Death's Dance stacks with Gunblade.

Oh nice, they nerfed Akali shroud by a second or two. That's totally the issue with it, and not that it gives her complete impunity to dive towers.

I dunno, it could be a lot of health back, especially combined with something like Triumph on kill reset. Death's Dance/Spirit Visage Darius might be interesting.

nerfing by a second or two reduces her impunity to dive by a second or two. should they change it to work like it did before? yeah. but that ability needs to be nerfed to the ground if riot wants to give her room to grow and be heathy

Do replays generally not work across patches or is the time window for downloading them super short? Had some nice plays last night that I wanted to watch more closely, but it says that every replay has expired.

Neeko is everything I wanted in a support. Great poke, solid CC, game winner ultimate. The passive ~*mindgames*~ are so much fun too. Deep warding as your ultra-fed toplaner and watching people flee in terror will never get old.

yeah they don't persist through patches for whatever reason

probably because they would just desync if anything used in the game got changed

They're apparently planning on some heavier mechanical changes, which will probably involve the tower dive business.

Akali is kind of a weird champion because, I guess, the idea is her damage output is slower but she has the defensive capacity of the shroud to make up for it. But if she gets a bit ahead she can blow somebody up almost as fast as Eve or Fizz or any "normal" assassin so the shroud mostly just lets her never die or blow someone else up a few seconds later with impunity.

The real problem though is she's really hard to play but the shroud makes her potentially extremely strong in organized play, so she may end up in the Azir/Kalista/Ryze box.

That's correct. It's replaying the events of what happened in the game, but in a deterministic way. If you changed, say, Ezreal's Q to do 20 less damage, you could easily end up with situations where a champion that would've died in the previous patch survives in the current patch, which can cause weird errors to start popping up.

I mentioned it in a previous post, but Twilight Shroud is a cool conceptual idea that is completely impossible to sensibly balance for both overall power and the frustration factor of playing against it.

I think the best way of retaining something of the original concept would be to give Twilight Shroud a brief vanish effect (akin to Shaco's R) and then have it act as an "obscuring" effect that prevents vision of an enemy Akali or allied champions that are within the Shroud unless you're also inside of it or have true sight. This still gives her tower dive capabilities and the ability to play around her Shroud as a defensive tool, as well as giving her an interesting niche (denying vision of a potential target to prevent things like Soraka W or Tahm W from saving them), but it gives an enemy a clear cut way for dealing with her that isn't "spam AoEs and pray."

Tales of Woe

akali shroud is pretty close to being a workable ability but riot won't greenlight a new champion kit anymore unless it breaks some fundamental rule of the game so she gets to ignore tower vision and thus be miserable to play against

The real problem is that even wards and sweeping lens won’t let you target her. That would help some.

Low key but Rammus is a ridiculously good jungler right now in these skirmish based fights because of his e taunt that can shut down mages and movement assholes like Yasuo. The op and champion websites have him listed tier 3 or ranked 21st (except u.gg which has him S rank but thats less well known) so he doesn't show up anywhere and can obliterate teams with amazing gank speed and shutdown potential and a tank that still works.

Rammus has never been bad as long as I've been playing and I started in season 3. He's just been varying degrees of good. Considering how much of a zoomy, tanky poo poo head he is and how strong his crowd control is I don't think it's possible for him to actually be bad.

rammus is in the same genre of champion as old janna, characters that at no point were ever anything but good but are considered boring so people never actually think about them
