Currently looks like anyone who uses Guinsoo's got a massive boost in effectiveness, with Kog dominating the top slot for ADCs for the first time in forever. The surprising secondary winner is people who can make use of Stormrazor like Jhin and Jinx, since it has a solid build path, gives a good mix of stats, has some poke potential for midgame skirmishes, and has a frankly invaluable MS boost for all the immobile ADCs that lost out on early Galeforce.

Now with 22% more apathy!
I started playing again this year after a 2 year break.
(And this thread sure moves slower than it used to back then.)

I've had a "streak" of 43 games in ranked where in all my wins I had 0-3 deaths and in all my losses I had 4-7 deaths. Finally ended with a 4 death win. (Game before the streak was a 9 death loss.)
Thank you for coming to my Dave talk.

Current version of Shiv is loving hilarious. Don't know about regular games but it slaps in ARAM on both ad and ap. On Leblanc you can proc it 3 times quickly; start the fight at full charge so you can begin with a shiv, do a dash to almost fully charge it since it counts as movement, shiv people, mimic the dash and do it again.

I’ve only managed to build it once in aram because games end too fast but ludens/rabadon/lich bane/shiv on veigar is hilarious because you’ll clear the entire wave instantly or auto somebody for two thousand damage instantly, everybody should try it.

Yeah I built it on Sivir and was stunned at how much poke damage it can do if the enemy team is even close to the wave.

I think they may have just possibly overcompensated Ivern when they spread his buff sharing to everyone, give him a try before next patch nerfs him.

hilariously, phreak revealed that he straight up did not think about ARAM at all when designing new shiv, which is what led to the first week of veigar building it, autoattacking the wave, and causing the enemy team to lose 1/3rd of their HP

They've been trying it out in bits and pieces with stuff like individually lengthening the cooldowns on Veigar's W or Ashe's W, but there's some kits that are simply too good or too poo poo to function with ARAM's format without being severely warped. There's no real getting around the fact that Seraphine needs to explode in a quarter second for her to not massively tilt the game in her favor.

We still do not actually know how Valmer, Kai, or Varus identify as (beyond Varus identifying as, like, vengeance incarnate.)

if varus is three archers and they are all bisexual, that means he is 1.5 gay archers if my math is correct

Gameplay video, if you've ever had to hold a lane against a fed Yorick and he just hits you with E once and you died to his ghouls jumping you under tower, you probably know what's coming.

They're I think pushing a feature like this to the pbe in the next patch, so at some point it's supposed to be a thing

You might be thinking of team builder where you did that, but that's was like a decade ago lol

I believe Wild Rift has something like this, where you punch in your ban & draft and it arranges a match where your chosen hero isn't banned.

Personally I think it's kind of a lousy idea that undercuts the importance of drafting, but time is a premium for mobile games.
