Some games have a thing where you can "recruit" lapsed players and if they start playing again you get a bonus as if you got a new player signed up on your code, but I guess league doesn't have that.

I should probably see all the champs they've reworked, poo poo looks a LOT different now. I was about to ask if they ever fixed Mordekaiser's trillion bugs but it looks like he's changed.

Mordekaiser is next in line for a full champion rework, so all his poo poo will be changing in a month or 2.

Champs released since Taliyah (the rock thrower):

Kled - The god king of tower dives and unending aggro.
Ivern - A support jungler who frees camps rather than killing them, spawns additional buffs from red and blue buff camps that can be picked up by teammates.
Camille - Sword legs, has a hookshot, is cool.
Xayah and Rakan - Bot lane premade, birds.
Kayn - Edgelord, can walk through walls.
Ornn - Big tanky goat, can buy non-consumable items in lane.
Zoe - Took the title of most hated champ from Teemo.
Kai'sa - An alright ADC, intended as a marksman who can work on AP but her AP build sucks rear end.
Pyke - Assassin support, gives allies additional gold when he kill steals with his ult.
Neeko - Chameleon top/jungle/mid/bot/support seriously you can play her literally everywhere it owns. Better AD/AP hybrid than Kai'sa.
Sylas - Can steal other people's ults, generates hilarious interactions like stealing Sion's ult to chase after him.

Reworks since Taliyah I believe: Ryze (of course), Yorick, Katarina, Talon, Rengar, Warwick, Galio, Urgot, Evelynn, Swain, Irelia, Aatrox, Akali, Nunu (and Willump), and most recently Kayle.

Also there's a practice tool now, so you can just take a champ in there and try their poo poo out outside of an actual game.

oh gee ryze got a rework that's SOOOO unexpected

Urgot got a rework? Thank loving god. And Yorick? Maybe riot did some good somewhere. And Rengar? If he's not back to AP Rango then my interest is ZERO. AP Rango and roaming Alistar were the best things back when I was really into league


wait a second they reworked Eve again? What now, does she instantly give gold to the enemy team every time she stealths so that the pubbies don't lose their minds over stealth mechanics? I don't see Twitch on that list so I'm guessing YES.

ivern sounds interesting, my other main man was maokai so another nature dude is good with me

Urgot's rework was really good (he has shotgun knees now) and Eve got a full rework where she can charm enemies to do additional burst but when the charm locks onto them it pops up an arrow so you know what direction Eve is coming from. Yorick is also cool, they reworked Leblanc but people hated it so she got reverted and now people still hate it. All the reworked champs got new champion spotlights on the Youtube channel if you want to go look over those.

ACSHUALLY there is something for returning players. If you haven't played since runes or keystones or whatever they're called were introduced, you should get a chunk of blue essence relative to how many runes you bought back in the day

As a person who came back from Season 2, nope. It was only available for a limited time, so I didn't get any of the refunds at all.

any aram only accounts is a travesty. the practice should be entirely outlawed and the practitioners permabanned. if there are 2, it is unacceptable. if there are 3, we should be rioting in the streets.

i recommend giving a look to ornn. zoe is still the best designed champion in the game, but you would probably get a kick out of ornn i think

You're not wrong but those moments where you successfully pull off a great Zac ult and dump the entire enemy team under your turret to be slaughtered are higher than any high you got from the old ult.

I kinda miss his old Q because I think it was better for top lane Zac, but it's way better for jungle Zac now.

I'm a left click attack move user and just tried out an .ini file hack to bind both Move Click and Attack Move to the right mouse button, which allows you to see your AA range indicator every time you move with right click. So far I'm liking it, let's see if I can find any downsides.

Is it just me or does the game seed the worst possible teammates during your placements? All my games are lovely until I hit that wall and then it finds the divas, trolls, and braindead people to heap in. Maybe it's just the MMR analysis overcorrecting after a long win streak?

Since you can check games on things like Porofessor it wouldn't shock me if there were people checking and then deliberately trolling placements just to be dicks.

yuumi is best picked with a roam heavy team, being roam heavy herself. her w effectively doubles the power of every single mobility skill in the game - imagine for instance if vi q read “propel yourself and one ally forward”. similarly, when paired with a gank heavy jungler or say a zed, you can use their mobility to make yourself more mobile and increase the efficacy and decrease the risk of ganks.

if the enemy tries to counter gank and turn a 3v2 into a 2 for 1 instead of 2 for 0, you can hop to a guy and heal them. not only that but you can not be targeted yourself. for lane pairings, yuumi seems strong with say, an ezreal - you can leverage ezreals escape to make your lane disgustingly unkillable while poking people down
