Seems like aery is by far the best control mage rune if you can proc it consistently.

Work Friend Keven posted:So right now there's a ton of huge damage runes and a ton of runes that snowball through every means you can imagine, stats / objective damage / vision / speed, just everything. And also everyone has less defense at low levels due no longer being able to pick defensive runes appropriately. So things are extremely snowbally............................... Average game time has gone down by 5% since the patch started, apparently. The defensive runes bit is the biggest problem I have right now in bot, because, unless you want to really gently caress up your keystone, there's no way to effectively play against certain kill lanes aside from staying 800 units away and soaking whatever farm you can under turret.

I think Comet's good for Lux since you can consistently clip most people with E (since the slow on E lingers for 0.25s after detonation), but it's otherwise not great on most control mages.

this used to happen in HoN too where every skin was a separate champion. ive always assumed that their method for syncing the changes isn't super professional and someone just makes a mistake when entering data or whatever.

I really hope they change some things around in the Inspiration tree. I want to play around with some glacial augment builds in the jungle, but you end up giving up a lot of damage/utility for biscuit/stopwatch and you're basically forced into futures market since you cant really avoid boots and don't use minion dematerializer. It's just an incredibly niche tree when you compare to something like sorcery or domination which just hand out copious amounts of CDR and damage for free. e: this is obviously not including klepto builds which are their own monster Primetime fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Nov 11, 2017 |

Looking at Zoe's kit I'm sorta wondering how Zoe is not going to be old nidalee levels of "you get hit by 1 skillshot, you lose" Imagine if old nidalee had a CC she could throw out before tossing a spear, now imagine those spears could come faster and sideways and had a AOE on hit.

Now imagine Nidalee spear damage based on distance between her and her target and not how far the projectile has traveled, which you could manipulate by ult pounce backwards flash.

it seems to me like it has incredible power to play the siege engine champion, but it comes at a giant cost of permanently putting your team a man down, thus forcing someone to take the mantle of a 1v2 and explicitly unbalancing the game(enemies are forced to play extremely aggressive to snowball early to counteract the free passive gold siege engine team gets from automatically destroying towers), but it is hard to say. obviously assuming reasonable balance with the time the enemies towers are destroyedElentor posted:Give me more tools than that to interact with the map from the fountain and I would play the poo poo out of that champion. having like a giant bow or something that you can make cross map skillshots and blocking off escape paths by dropping rocks from the fountain could be pretty cool actually. it would definitely tilt bronze players who have a bad siege engine player on their team but

HOTS has a couple of siege guys where you basically turret up and drive a little dude around or do semi global buffs & skillshots and stuff. I don't think it makes sense in league.

Have it take some 10 min for each lane tower and you have to choose whether you want to spread faster through the jungle and increase map control or brute force a single lane. Maybe also allow you to take control of any tower against minion if you want to micro the hell out of them to help your laners CS/troll them. Maybe let you build mini Zz'rot portals on your creep and choose their routes. The possibilities are both stupid and endless. quote:[phreak voice] introducing balistotle, the fountains fury.

So after the reddit breakdown over how we now get our BE drops on levelups instead of after games they're changing it to: FWotD: 575 XP + 0 BE -> 400 XP + 50 BE Average XP to level after 30 is 3k. Meaning you now get one less level per 17 FWotD. Instead you get 850 BE. Which is ~50 less than the average levelup-drop before the change. People whined their way to worse rewards and are probably happy now because basic arithmetic is hard.

I am really struggling in bot lane to gauge trades with the new rune system. It seems the damage I'm expecting to take / dish out is not in line with reality. Unfortunate for my teammates on the rift I guess. New runes are supes cool regardless.
