A stronger version of Soraka's old starfall would be a neat idea. Maybe offers alternative build paaths focusing less on burst and more on staying alive in extended engagements to get some exponential damage growth.

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.

No I totally agree the e r swap is enough to make her finally decent but just add some special effects to her e to make it look more powerful lol I don't know. If they do add anything to her ult such as a post slow or increase area of effect, she will truly be busted.

Man the old Starfall was so busted, aoe auto targeted spell with short cd + decent scaling. The ap Soraka mid was truly a thing of beauty, with rylais.

I do hope if they are looking into Diana they also do something about her ability to delete towers anytime she is left alone in a lane for a single wave, that third strike damage chunking towers does busted damage and it's frustrating when the teammates who are able to match her in lane just ignore her and suddenly the entire base is dead with one push.

i spammed jungle diana when she could do drake level 3 faster and safer than any other champion in the game. i hope this makes her a better ganker pre 6 because shes decent in the jungle when she gets ult

the long move monologues are cool acrually. Aatrox and Mordekaiser's are especially rad.

it is genuinely bad, on a very real level which is that audio cues are very important in league of legends as anyone who played against a kled can vouch(and other champions to a lesser extent. you can react to audio cues faster than visual) ... you can reduce the champion voice level, but i think players should not have to adjust their audio levels for each champion.

The only time the long quotes play is when you're moving long distances, IE when you're not in range of basically anything apart from maybe a Kled ult?

I like Mord and Jhin. They have good fun lines. Kindred is also good. The right kind of weird I guess.

Looking forward to whatever they end up with for new fiddle. They wanted to do a dual voice thing. I hope the idea sticks!

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.

Back in Season 3-4 it was always incredibly fun to play Diana into one-trick Katarina players because you could usually make them ragequit by midgame.

heres new fiddle:

when you click to move: i am chased by eternal darkness across several hundred dimensions while my soul suffers for all eternity in a pit of boundless hatred for all mankind, only the torment of innocents can sustain my broken body for i am fiddloesticks, the ender of all life and joy muahahahahahaha you see when i was seven i was a a scarecrow created by an evil wizard to destroy good things and help bad things i think maybe? and then i killed some guy in my old lore hold on let me look it up ahem ahem Niram and his fellow brigands readied their horses beneath the noonday sun. He fastened the buckle of the last satchel on his horse. Each was filled with an assortment of ornately carved daggers, snowfox furs, and cured meat. The stolen wares weighed his horse’s saddle down so significantly he decided to walk her back to their camp.

Minesh slowed his horse to walk by Niram’s side.

“Why aren’t you riding?” he asked.

“A man who is kind to his horse receives kindness in return,” answered Niram.

“Maybe she’ll reward you with a fine trade at market,” said Minesh. “She’s too swaybacked to ride anyway.”

“Not at all. This old girl’s got many a mile left in her,” said Niram. Minesh rode past, shaking his head.

By the time the men reached the barren field before their cave hideout, the setting sun was casting its rosy glow over the horizon. A hollow, whistling wind blew through rotted stalks and choking weeds. Moldy bales of hay were strewn about like corpses on a battlefield. Watching over this abandoned land was a crude scarecrow of cloth and straw balanced on two legs of thin willow. Its tattered rags fluttered in the wind, and a rusted scythe hung limp from one arm.

The brigands passed through the field and into the ragged thicket at its edge, where they approached the mouth of a cavern with stalactites protruding like bared teeth.

After hobbling his mare with the other horses near the entrance, Niram joined the bandits who were kindling a fire beneath its lofty stone ceiling. Rimeal, a man with a scar bisecting his face, nodded to him. Niram reached into his pocket to examine his most prized treasure: a shining red amulet hanging from a delicate chain.

Niram recalled the moment he saw the necklace around the noblewoman’s neck, framed by lavishly embroidered curtains in the window of her carriage. He and Rimeal had halted the travelers under pretense of warning them about an approaching pack of raiders, when in fact their men were already lying in wait.

It had only taken the guards a moment to spot the trap, but it was enough. Niram had silenced the first with a slash to the throat, while Rimeal gutted the second. Their compatriots slew the others in a hail of arrows. Niram entered the carriage, demanding the necklace, but the woman held it tight to her breast. The stubborn wretch had slashed at him with a concealed knife before he plunged his own dagger into her neck and ripped the necklace from her grasp.

Niram held it now as tightly as he had then, wiping away a spot of blood from the amulet until it reflected the rising moonlight. He replaced it in his pocket as a whinnying cry drew his attention to the horses near the entrance.

“Rat in their meal again?” Niram asked.

“They’re jumping at shadows! Some brave horses, eh?” said Rimeal.

“Not shadows,” said Minesh. “It was a ferocious bird, the great and fearsome… crow!”

I mean Riot is and for a long time (always?) has been poo poo, but I don't think "putting women, POC and POC women in charge of entire projects" is a "token change." That's pretty demeaning and downplaying the impact these leaders can potentially bring to the company as a whole.

Facefarter should absolutely be shitcanned and I don't know how he hasn't been yet.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
