Established Auto Chess players invited to the playtest liked it, it's good for people that like the style. If it brings people into the genre, that remains to be seen.
look i am just salty they never considered me. i made it to bishop one time. i am established. this is the biggest oversight in gaming history

Ok. Back to the actual game and whining about it. Please for the love of god, let the jungler control the Dragon/Herald/Baron. I can't count the number of times I have had a dragon snatched, either because someone hosed up my pull by walking into its face or they simply started on dragon while I had no smite. Happens way less often with Baron, but its even more infuriating when I ping "Smite 15 seconds", then enemy snatches it and they say "OMG NO JUNGLER".

Also, unless the enemy bot lane is dead, just loving let me take down the dragon solo. Don't blow my loving cover to add measly 5 DPS if you are support. If you join the pit, then enemy bot lane + their jungler will just pounce me and steal it. Just let the jungler make the calls when it comes to jungle stuff and if he wants your help he will ping you. You would not want me to steal all your CS every time I came to gank, so please dont mess with my stuff.

well the league auto chess is the actual game, its a different game mode but its built into the client

So I played a game today on Kayle, had a rough start dying to an early gank for FB. Jungler flips a lid and starts calling everyone hateful names, mostly centered on my Kayle play. I try to stay positive, and the ADC kinda joins in and we get closer to even. Then all of a sudden, at 22:00 in, we are able to pick off their Yasuo as he roams bot, and the other team surrenders 4-1 with a slew of "report yasuo omfg" and the like. They were ahead by 5 kills or so, and we found out in the post game lobby that the Yasuo was throwing around hate speech and being a serious rear end in a top hat the whole game. The team got tired of it and wanted out.

Lesson: /mute all, stay positive, and take a break when you get tilted. The other team is just as likely to have assholes or idiots as you are.

yeah, the thread itself moves slow as poo poo right now, if we absorbed the auto chess thing in here it would be fine too, depending on how big autochess as a genre becomes itself could warrant a thread for all the offshoots. basically wait and see.

Every day, thousands of magical cats are abandoned at the fountain by their ADCs and are forced to walk back to lane on their own. Sadly, many such ADCs die alone and without companionship less than a minute later.

For less than 1 cs per minute, you can avoid this tragedy. Never leave fountain without your Yuumi. The life you save could be your own!

Kai'Sa is getting another loving skin.



I really want to know how much money she's printed for them. Most newer champs - even those that fall into the same "cute girl" category as Kai'Sa - are begging and pleading for new skins, but it seems like she's getting one every second patch.

This is her 4th skin after she's been out almost a year and a half.

Incidentally this skin will put her even on skins (not counting Prestige K/DA) with Jhin, Taric, Azir, Lissandra, Quinn, Rakan, Rumble, Skarner, Swain, Udyr, Urgot, Viktor, Xerath and Zyra for comparison sake.

It's easy to forget that Kai'sa is Kassadin's daughter AND she is supposed to be this human possessed by a symbiote like Venom from Spider-Man because every single skin she gets has nothing to do with the symbiote

To be fair most skins are pretty divorced from the base skins theme, that's kind of the point of a skin. Base Kai'sa did have a very dull design to what she should have had though, you're right.

I kind of wonder if she's supposed to be the female void champion. Yes I know that Rek'Sai exists but people keep forgetting that she's, you know, a she apparently.

I would've been fine if they'd done more with the VO when she's in her helmet mode. I think the most she does is go, like, "Grrrr!" once or twice after using Supercharger. Have her hiss and click and poo poo when she's actively hunting someone and you've already got a way better champion.

It's a nice little change. I was actually kinda surprised to look at her numbers and see that she's holding a very respectable 49% winrate that climbs up to 51% at Master+. I thought Lux would've pushed her out of that general niche of nuking support with a shield, but apparently not.

(Apropos of nothing, it's still really weird seeing Lux at basically the same pickrate as Janna.)

I had one of these yesterday. Jungler went top to gank for Riven at like 3 minutes and they both died to Jax, they start flaming each other constantly over the next 20 mins. Me and the midlaner repeatedly tell them to just mute each other and play. Neither of them runs it down a lane but it gets close.

Meanwhile, Morgana in botlane has a ping spike or something and dies to it, their Caitlyn has a complete meltdown in all-chat and starts actually running down midlane (tells our mid to buy a mejais) and bragging they won't get banned for it. (spoiler, they got a 9x report and I got the 'a person you reported has been punished' message immediately afterwards.)

Despite their ADC literally inting we almost lost due to top/jng intentionally loving with each other. I started joking with our midlaner that this was a battle of who had the more dysfunctional team. We did eventually win but man... What a wreck of a game.

Her shield has always felt anemic compared to pre-rework and the 1.5 duration is a big reason why. I'd like if RE was also extended, but that'd probably be considered too much of a buff to support Karma.

Yesterday I didn’t have time to sit and work out a valid counter strategy and every game i queued for either had somebody in my team (trying to) choose him or the opposite team did so. Lots and lots of dodging as people who wanted him didn’t get him.

I instabanned him one game and my top lane spat the dummy insisting i gank him as jungle all the time to make up for it.

That’s all the evidence i need to keep justifying banning him.

You can literally duel support every time without much punishment.

then absorb the AP of that support and crush the ADC.
