born on a buy you posted:

Won’t the Ult and Passive let them spam kill teams low on health as clean up without even using the champions abilities? It resets the cool down on the ult when you possess. You possess on kill. Ult hits nearest low person.

Depends entirely on Heartbreaker's numbers, and I suspect they'll keep the actual execution portion of it on the lighter side so that there's less incentive to playing him like budget Katarina.

his ult scalings on S@20 right now are...fucky? He has what looks like crit chance scalings on his ult but the tooltip number is just absurdly high right now

Nah, one AoE ability dealing 4950 extra damage from crit chance at full build is fair.

He's explicitly been designed to work with Blade of the Ruined King (the item) and presumably other ADC adjacent things like Master Yi does. They mentioned it in a dev blog somewhere that if they ever made The Ruined King a champion it would be a failure of design if he didn't want on-hit items like BotRK.

The scaling is wrong but he probably has crit chance scaling on abilities to help him use ADC items. Or just so that if he body-jacks an adc his ult becomes more powerful when leaving. Oh, it's because it literally hits the primary target with an auto-attack, applying on hit effects and having the chance to critically strike now that I think about it.

I imagine they want to discourage bruiser/tank Viego as much as humanly possible, as a huge amount of the balance of his passive is going to center around how difficult it is for him to actually get involved in fights to bodyjack someone without exploding.

Literally the only reason I'm not voting for Monster Tamers as a skinline is because they chose Ezreal to show it off.

I get it. He is the anime champion. This does not mean he needs to be in every anime-themed skinline.

I got banned / hacked / someone was playing under my account and I'm not sure who or why.

I also have no way of figuring out why I was banned, as Riot sent me no email.

Guess I'll hit up Support and figure out why. Glad they didn't change password at least.

The sentinel will probably have a shirt and be male.

He might be the energy based ADC they’ve discussed in the past, which would mean no shirt potentially.

Thank god I was really worried for a second there riot wouldn’t release another mana less champ with an extremely safe farming skill, and for some reason a %hp dmg aa reset. Better yet, a self resetting execute ultimate just in case you forgot riot keeps adding those.

Honestly every champ they add now seems to be more and more overloaded. Tanks in particular seem really hosed now since they all tend to be mana champs and just can’t deal with this onslaught of mana less %hp dmg champs. Kinda ridiculous.

The only reason malph is viable right now is because his poke is insanely safe and strong with the current runes so you can often just shove champs out of lane with it, and can then press r in a team fight to auto win.

(checks notes)
Mage Teemo support is underpowered. Lower his Q CD, make his E also slow by 25% for .25 sec, and make his W scale with AP like Janna Please god don't, I think Teemo is in a pretty good spot as a solo laner and supporting with him is funny, but rarely successful. His W scaling might be interesting, but I feel like there's a good reason that it doesn't

So whatever tweaks they made to Wild Rift versus main league makes it takes less time is nice. The lack of inhibitors and final turrets is different, I think.

I dunno I haven't played main league in like 4 years according to the account I just logged into to check

There’s also roughly triple the gold for killing minions and they have less health so waves get pushed faster and you get items faster. I enjoy it but touchscreen controls are hell so I’m waiting until it comes out on console to really get into it.

So I get incredibly sick of carries getting super farmed like 14/2/5 and so forth and throwing the game by diving the enemy tower to get the enemy 0/6 support three times in a row. So I picked up Jax thinking that if I am the carry then the team is kept from this urge. I get such stats and realize to my horror that even if I am super fed and resistant to this unecessary throwing urge, it wont matter in the slightest because then your entire team will do that instead, even if their KDA is horrible and they died to that same guy 3 times already. Turns out you can only have 6 items and after that point the enemy will catch up. The simple idea of waiting 2 seconds for everyone to form up and have a solid 5v5 is foreign to them and they took 0 advantage of my lead by dying 1 by 1 in no particular area for no reason.

TL;DR

Knowing or even caring about macro means nothing if your teammates dont.

Just remember that the enemy has to be just as bad as your teammates in order for them to still be at the same elo and end up matched together.
Instead of hyper-focusing on stuff you can't change ("Wow my team in [literally any level below challenger] is real bad and keeps making mistakes!"), look for the enemy mistakes you can take advantage of or your own personal mistakes that you can improve and fix. Because I guarantee that unless you're in challenger there are thousands of each
