Not sure how recent it is but Blitz' ult active now completely removes shields.

Morg is always banned so Blitz is good and you can completely take over a game if you can actually hook a mans

Janna is also good but I still like Lulu more for carry potential because Janna relies on your team actually having brains

I'm annoyed you can only get three rewards per week. You already have to buy in in order to get rewards, so it's pretty lovely that they want to limit the amount of rewards you can get.

It's in line with their ethos for the game where they don't want there to be a large gap between f2p players and people who spend a lot of money

The blog last week explains a lot about how they are doing progression/monetization https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/progression-by-the-numbers

Yeah, but also limits people from going infinite. They specifically said 'if you do well enough you can even pay for your next one!' and then made it so you could only pay for your next one twice a week.

But you can keep those rewards to pay for next week, and you get to freely play the draft mode anyway, just without rewards.

It’s super free to play friendly.

I remember IronStylus talking about swapping E and R three or four years ago (Christ, I'm old). Really can't wait to see what they decided to do with it. It's actually Diana's most iconic ability to me, even moreso than Q/R.

You guys are right Janna is fine but the players who play Janna seem all boosted. Sometimes you see some duo where its just draven janna and they stomp everyone. Especially in the good old days you would see some smurfs build sword of the occult.

Also I literally opened my 3rd true damage orb and got true damage Akali lol. My friend is so pissed, he is an akali main and he used all his pts for true damage orbs just got garbage.

I burned all my points on Orbs and got a few decent skins like Star Guardian Rakan, Odyssey Jinx, and PROJECT: Yasuo. None of the previous prestige skins really tickled my fancy, and I'm probably never gonna play Qiyana or Riven in a real game as it is. I understand why they're doing it (money), but having a prestige skin as a special once-a-year thing felt a ton better than them pumping one out with every other content patch. I still only have Prestige Kai'sa, and it'll probably stay that way.

It’s a mixed bag to me. Old Broody McGrimdark Aatrox was boring as hell, new Crazy East-European Aatrox is a lot better. New Ashe seems super-focused on war and conflict, but Old Ashe felt like it was a tourist just making references to bows and arrows.

I remember when Twitch got the complete make-over and people were lamenting the loss of his joke. When each of his abilities now has memorable lines, way better than one single joke.

And while they don’t need to take the Overwatch approach to VOs, it’s nice that they now (as of the Senna patch) have a person of color voicing Lucian (the same guy who already did his legendary skin).

The worst are the interactions she has with Kayle, because in ARAM you will hear them repeatedly.

Oh gently caress that might be it. As a season 4 Diana player, I ditched her after Ekko came and then Sylas who are basically better versions of her imo + similar builds. I hope they make the e range a lot bigger if they make that an ult or else it will be very underwhelming.

Diana is actually good in lane vs a lot of the s8-s9 mids but her pre 6 is old Kassadin levels of bad but if she gets the dash on e that would make a lot of the matchups free lanes for her as she doesn't really rely on her pullback/cc to win most lanes anyway. She just has decent dps and tankiness vs most mids. No idea if it will make it through live but I will start playing her just to get used to her again. I got the infernal skin on hextech a while back and always waited for some kind of buff.

Ra Ra Rasputin
Apr 2, 2011
It really doesn't matter how strong they make Diana's new R after they swap the current ult to E, just having her entire kit online at level 2 or 3 is huge and now she has a extra button she can press that will probably win teamfights every 2 minutes.

She is a entirely combo dependent champ that doesn't get the combo until 6, would be like if Lee could only dash with his Q after hitting level 6.

I always thought her ult should just be a regular skill without the reset. She needs something flashier for an ult.
