:| so a couple lame interactions that I'll warn other folks about (and get confirmation)

don't use redemption and guardian angel on the same person, it'll just hit the floor and do nothing for you if you're in the rez animation.
apparently red buff prevents guardian angel from healing you up? Not 100% on this, but I did my stupid shyvana cheese as usual, so 260 armor shyv went down, GA started up, and with only a graves and a trist on the other side shyv INSTANTLY popped when she came back. Doesn't seem right to me unless those two units managed to do just a ridiculous fuckton of damage instantly. My guess is red buff prevented getting health back.

This thread is beneath my talent, but I....shall elevate it.
Kooriken's thoughts on the upcoming patch for TFT: Dear god nobles are going to be insane if you pull them off. You already have 2 knights just by going nobles, so you can have 2 knights 2 guardians and your full suite of 6 nobles as early as 7. From there you can add Ashe for Glacial/Ranger or another couple of knights for even more damage reduction. Heck you could even run GP/Another Blademaster for Gunslinger/Blades with your other synergies.

Yea someone did it to me, so I tried it next game. Double frozen heart on the pyke, versus a maxed out ranger knight comp, they barely shot the whole fight. Guy rightly asked what the gently caress. Void/Brawler with a pyke shoved in somewhere just wrecks.

I chucked in a zephyr, and had a blitz on board, just complete shut down while the voli came online.

You can make most ranged characters with mobility work top. Vayne and Lucian have been niche lane bully picks top for a while, and apparently Trist top is becoming a thing. You can bully most melee opponents, but it becomes less effective when you start playing people who know how to sustain and give up cs andjunglers who see a squishy top laner with no/little cc.

you also just have another adc and you're doing some real harm to your teams comp unless they run a bruiser bot and get their poo poo kicked in to make up for you playing vayne or whatever thing top

Stoked about Nexus Blitz coming back more, sad this means Hexakill on TT is probably permanently dead. That was my favorite rotating mode.

Also, I had no idea that TFT wasn’t permanent until now.

So yeah, let's be honest, we knew TT was doomed.

I don't think I have any words to add. The powerful and rampant lack of tuning in the mode while a very bad meta was practically mandatory enforced that most TT enthusiasts left or quit altogether. I had a lot of fun in it before that happened.

tier list of reworks it's ok to hate

I gotta say I had quit the game several years ago because of that poppy rework. I've never lost a game with old poppy, she was my secret top main weapon even better because no one else knew what she was like.
Years I considered coming back but then more reworks came. my support main, Galio, turned from batman anti-teemo shield with best ult in game to, superman galio. After that, Nunu, my second choice for support got changed, from boy with big ugly yeti whose so hideous only nunu can love to pixar/disney Nunu AND Willump TM whose description is basically owo brave boy finds big cuddly giant who is gentle and only wants to hug and make snowballs daaaaw. :barf:

Now they're remaking pantheon, which at first I was against cause I like face-less one man army dude, but then I saw that they're just getting rid of click to win for skill shots and mechanical buffs for the rest of his kit plus making his ult actually landable. It looked good until I saw the gameplay preview of it in yesterdays released video and what did they do? They gave the face-less one man army dude, a face.

These reworks are going to be the death of me, when are they going to get kill my jungle main, Feedlesticks? When?!

i made a long post earlier about non meta comps, feel free to read that to get more insight - what you are doing is running a ranged autoattacker as a bully, which is fine, but it inherently weakens your team comp and also makes you a priority target for junglers(if the jungler is worth their salt that is). it works perfectly fine in lane, you are just making your team squishier than you would ideally want

He was as much of a support as shen was, his blood boil and ice ball were good enough back then to bully the enemy adc as well as helping your adc get farm.
He was also fairly tanky and his Ult is generally really good.

pog boyfriend posted:

Hey I may cynical but I do believe the OG Nunu was way purer than new disney brand nunu.
Old Nunu was boy and his yeti having a close bond in a tough cold world. New Nunu gets two friends on an adventure with some references to darker elements. I'm also tired of hearing the kid beg the yeti to wake up, it's way too overdramatic everyone else just take it in strides...Except for Sion who goes full Oscar preformance.

Oh wow just like that.
I'm not sure why but after reading that I feel somewhat optimistic for the rework. It looks like they're focusing more on ambushing then stand your ground drain deal here which is a direction that makes sense. I enjoyed the concept of drain on fiddle in that he's constantly casting on an opponent who if they stay, will end up fighting a losing battle because of how quickly fiddle steals their health.These type of encounters become obsolete at mid-late game and crowstorm becomes the only way to go.

I only wish they make fiddle a lot more subtler with his demonic folk spookiness instead of the spikes and claws in the concept art.

Corki is being flexed between top and mid in pro play right now because he is just that good (100% pick/ban right now). Enjoy it while you can, if pros don't start picking other champs he will get nerfed into the ground before Worlds.

Yeah as a pretty regular fiddle player I'm on board with making GBS threads out skillshots.

The silence honestly probably should go, it's satisfying to get good bounces also but feels v bad to play against and the (usually) random targeting is kind of dumb.

Very on board for my ambushing spooky boy.

I guess I'm (maybe) the exception in the forum in that I've liked pretty much all the reworks, even for characters I enjoyed/played a bunch in their previous iterations, ie poppy.
