This should open up a lot of space in support for the poke champs that are currently Worse Brand (xerath, lux, zyra, neeko, etc)

Also a big buff to the already-super-strong Nami and Sona whose worst matchup is Brand

Really, it opens up a lot of space for everyone in general. I think Brand being as good as he was also had a knock-on effect on ADCs, too, since anyone without a dash could get annihilated by him if they went to CS.

That E change will help him stay healthy during early clears. He's struggled ever since the armor nerf.

It's just a 5% passive attack speed buff to J4 and his allies at all levels (or from 2 and up for lane J4). It's neat but not exactly huge. I was hoping for something burst related as I still only play J4 in bot lane with Leona, and this buff won't do much there.

the brand nerfs remind me of how loving funny it is that riot took a bunch of MR off of everyone at the same time that they also removed the trade off of not getting sightstone if you wanted to upgrade your spellcaster damage item as the support and holy poo poo can you believe it anyway nobody knows why mid laners are such good supports this season

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Wew, just browsing Reddit and there was a glitch in the Blood Moon event internationally that let people buy capsules for 1 blue essence for about 15 minutes or so. According to Riot, in most regions less than 100 people on the whole server were exploiting this but both reddit and the official forums are mad that Riot aren't going to take the freebies away from people who exploited the system or ban the users who did it. Because you know, most sane people spend $75 on event capsules a couple times a year and get pissed off when people get that content for free (Probably because they didn't get the chance to exploit it themselves)

I'm just laughing at all the people mad that they couldn't get stuff for free and demanding Riot ban or take away the content people got for free. Who cares

as someone whos spent $0 on this game, it seems pretty reasonable to be unhappy about this

it would be insane and unjustifiable to ban them, though

There are some games where exploiting bugs is bannable, but making that rule after the fact would be pretty wrong.

People getting mad because other people got something for free. Turns out reddit manchildren were also secretly republicans all along.

Exploiting a bug for in-game advantage is bannable (eg old masteries with no CD on flash), banning for exploiting faulty pricing in the store would be super dumb though.

LoL has a history of “this one region had unintended downtime and gets some sort of compensation, why aren’t we from
an unrelated and unaffected region getting free stuff?”. So yeah, not surprised at this recent behavior.

basically old players get entitled and think because they had to have bad experiences then other people have to have bad experiences, instead of just being happy that things are being made better. this is pretty much the most ubiquitous mentality in established games around

Congrats, you got top lane banned in your first game and as such no longer have top laners. It's clearly working as per game 2 and 3

Pls list out the discord etiquette. Every goon discord is like a mirror mirror universe of the thread it spawned from, but it is difficult to articulate. On average how long does it take to get a duo going?

I feel that sitting in an empty voice chat channel is an invitation for me to just roll in and say "My dude, I am a Bronze 2 Tryndamere One Trick. Are you ready to go on a magical journey?!"
