I vaguely remember hearing that they took them all out when competitive started taking off, but not sure.

There's still some gimmick mechanics.

If Rengar and Kha'Zix are on opposite teams, Rengar has fully stacked his passive, and Kha'Zix has used all 3 evolution points, they'll eventually get a "quest" to kill the other. If Renger gets the kill he gets a 6th stack of his passive and if Kha'Zix gets the kill he gets a 4th evolution point, both of which are otherwise impossible.

There's a similar gimmick with Senna vs Thresh, or Senna + Lucian vs Thresh, after Senna and Thresh have enough passive stacks (100 mist and 40 souls). If Senna wins she gets 30 ap and 30 armor, and if Thresh wins he gets 40 ad, 50 attack range, and 30% crit. Then if Lucian is on Senna's team the same thing happens again but with Lucian vs Thresh, so it's theoretically possible for a Thresh to get 80 ad and 60% crit for free :wtc:.

Now I wanna see some extremely gimmicky thresh adc strats that only work against a senna+lucian lane.

There's a few of those among the Freljord champs as well, I know Ashe can get a quest to kill Sejuani if she's on the enemy team.

I think it's Ashe, Lissandra, or Sejuani being on opposite teams to trigger the Freljord quest. I don't remember if there's a reward beyond the really lovely-looking crown.

I think all of the tiny Easter eggs (sunglasses vs Leona reducing damage by 1, multiple ninjas on the same team getting their HP reduced by 1, Cait and Vi vs Jinx getting 1g extra per takedown, probably forgetting a few) are gone, but they're so inconsequential that they're almost impossible to notice anyway.

It's also specifically Ashe Lissandra and Sejuani being on opposite teams in ARAM (because it's in the Freljord). The extra 1g takedown thing is still in game I think, or at least the counter for how many times you've tricked the cops/bagged the crook.

With Ashe getting nerfed by 2(!!) base AD next patch i feel like I wanna stop 1 tricking her. Ive one tricked Jinx, Jhin, and Ashe at various points in the season.

on 10.18 who would you one trick from the list of 10.17 "S tier" bot lane champs:

jinx
jhin
draven
kaisa
ezreal

That Samira inspiration sounds amazing hopefully they can pull it off, their champ dev has been killing it lately so I am hopeful.

If you believe the designers themselves the updated VFXs are just individuals squeezing effects in while they have time and don't have any bearing on the plans of the rest of the team.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Fat Annie started before she became a mainstream support IIRC which was a funny instance of goons being right for the wrong reasons. Yeah, she was great because she could be used as a stun/engage machine but why was the conclusion conclusion "Just build giants belts all day" and not "Put her bottom"

Serious answer here is Ezreal. He gets to cheat the items system. And you better believe that somehow, someway . . . he will be busted with the new items. SO get a good Ez now! With the changes to Ashe recently, I'd say Ez is the only safe blind pick in ADC at the moment if you care about team comp and don't want to just one trick a thing.

I got the S emote first game of the day and was hype as hell. I was playing Aphelios and just styled on a 1v2 and got it. Was good to play moon boy again. Felt like he is introducing me to the next ADC. :unsmith:
The spoilers for Samira say that ... her R is somewhat like Katarina's R, but she spins around with a machine gun, and the more enemies she is hitting simultaneously, the higher her style meter becomes - when it hits S, the animation becomes a giant rose. Sounds baller as gently caress. This was leaked by that Brazilian translator that also 100% leaked Yone, Lillia, and more and was 100% on the money to the point where people now believe the leaks are just free marketing.

E: The style meter only interacting with 1 potential ability sounds very on-brand for Riot, have to say. Think about Sett's secondary mechanic. She didn't mention her passive, though. I'm hype as gently caress about a new ADC, gang.
