i dunno, a magic doll is probably an upgrade from "Most would say that death isn't funny. It isn't, unless you're Shaco - then it's hysterical. He is Valoran's first fully functioning homicidal comic; he jests until someone dies, and then he laughs."

the thing about olaf is that he's actually just some kid who got really into norse mythology and is therefore a white supremacist and also loves trump

Rek'sai was already kinda alright and caught hella buffs this patch and is really strong now. They were probably just bad on her; she's not super demanding, but her burrowing mechanics and creative gank routes take more games to understand than a Xin Zhao or Nocturne

Reminder that the "hella buffs" amounted to Q missile giving 25 Fury, W cancelling Q if you stayed burrowed, and her ult no longer being subject to dodges with mobility skills.

The latter is certainly a buff (and was one of the biggest criticisms of the rework). Largely, her play rate has gone up this patch because people were reminded she exists. Junglers with good mobility and CC are never not good.

Nah they turned Shaco into a magic doll that came to life I remember seeing it in one of those did you know facts before a game starts

Kind of like turning skarner into a brainless scorpion or nautilus into a generic sea monster it sucks

Nautilus thankfully is still the same angry vengeful guy who was abandoned at the bottom of the ocean. Skaner I got nothing for.

I don't like that she lost her unique ballgown shape, that the bewitching / blackthorn skins lost a lot of detail, and that her wings appear to be growing out of her butt now. But the new model is certainly not bad, and I don't play her much so I don't really care.

New Kayle looks awesome

Judgment Kayle finally does not look like garbage with dirty brown wings.

I'll miss the Judge Dredd Shoulderpads though

Wait Orianna isn’t a recreation of his dead daughter any more? That is Bull poo poo

I’m reading her new lore now and it’s soooo dumb. She needs to be mechanical because she took off her respirator to give it to someone who couldn’t breathe, then she got sick. Way worse concept because the original is really creepy!!!

Ogres are like onions
They never get round to adjusting the VO to suit. Ori still sounds like a creepy robot that wants to 'play', varus is not... new varus, MF still talks to the summoner

Also anyone else get confused with bullet angel kaisa and project vayne, I see one and think its the other

Her original story of being a replacement daughter for a daughter that wanted to join the league but got murdered by her dad's replica of a summoner's rift tower was far better goddamn

The lore was better when there wasn't this idea that everything needed to be *~consistent~*. It's all fiction who cares if there's inconsistent poo poo. Give us just random dumb poo poo we can laugh at like Hobo Udyr, Angry that he's alive Maokai, Jax and Gragas drinking buddies etc.

the lore, which i do not care about, was much better when it was written poorly haphazardly, which i do not care about. also the new lore, which i don't care about nor have to interface with in any meaningful way, is worse then it was before, when i did not care about it, and when it was good. not that i cared about it

for real tho this is the dumbest take this thread has had in a fuckin while

some of the new lore is pretty egregious (varus) but most of it has been a good pass and i appreciste their attempt to make things consistent. several bits of lore are way better (Ionia in general is way better than where it was, Aatrox's new lore kind of giving up an idea of wtf the Darkin are, I actually really like Galio's new lore even if the old lore was p good) and in the process of making the new lore they've has to actually double down and worldbuild in a way that makes sense - pog's complaint about Piltover is valid, part of it is the piltover champs are all over the place with how they look because Piltover's big thing, hextech, didn't have solid thematics until like a year ago. so until they get around to making some sort of 'visual unification pass' on them the way they did, say, the Shadow Isles champs, thats always gonna be a problem.

i do not get all of the people who go “wow, who cares about the lore” like there was not just a huge discussion about the lore. if you choose not to care about that canonical aspect of the game that is fine but there is no reason to try to seem too cool to bother caring about the games lore in a thread for discussing that game. obviously the topic is going to come up

I mean I don't really flame my teammates like I use to, I use to get banned every month like in season 5-6.. I really don't type other than missing ping to tilt people who do misplays. Also that is just for fun, I hope people don't really get tilted by that. Sometimes people take this game too serious.

Hey pro-tip, ask your parents and educators to help you get socialized before engaging in a social activity like multiplayer video-games. Until then maybe stick to AI games. Also ideally don't leave your house where you might expose others to your douchey behaviour in the physical realm.

Missing pings are actually great for asking a question. For instance when I flash accidentally I will ping my flash and then missing ping myself 5 times.

im permabanned poster teemostomper58. i first started playing league when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "tilting my teammates with missing pings" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "mia??" and "i love pinging mia" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "tilting my teammates with missing pings" style of ulio humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" ulio to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

While we're on the subject of stupid lore changes Jax actually has a reason to have a lamp now. They made him Icathian and gave him a magic desert lamp that's the last light of Icathia oh noes!!!! It was way better when he was just probably a former League administration guy that kept winning so he went "hey lol I'll fight with something stupid!" then kept winning anyway and used the lamp forever because gently caress you I'm Jax and I do what I want.
