being able to use redemption while dead lol

also there is some new stat called lethality

example; 15 Lethality: Physical damage is increased by ignoring an amount of the target's armor based on the target's level.

I don't know where the idea people "solved" the jungle came from within Riot but I think if they look at worlds there is proof that even at the pinnacle of competitive play the jungle hasn't been figured out which means it definitely hasn't by anyone of a lower elo.

e; what's funny is there was even more jungle inference and variety before they got rid of lane swaps

Rengar had a localized team stealth at one point. Was pretty fun. Will make a cool ability for a less selfish champion in the future.

Re: support chat http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/champions-skins/free-rotation/some-thoughts-support

looks like riot is going to put a bunch of supports in the free rotation and are going to look again into making supports more appealing

e; Especially relevant to ward discussion

quote:

Is Sightstone in the right place as a mandatory 800g first buy? Are there other adjustments to the vision game that would be good both for the experience of playing support and the game in general?

Can't wait to see what crazy shenanigans Riot has in mind for vision next. To be fair trinkets did work out quite well and the removal of green wards wasn't terrible, so I hope it'll be nice

Would Ivern be good on TT? I feel like the really early and fast denial of wolves to your enemy jungler would be phenomenal but after that Idk if his clear would just be abysmal

Ivern on TT is way better than I gave him credit for. Insta smite enemy wolves for a quick level 2, then just go annoy the enemy jungler while he does wraiths. They have to deal with you getting them low and wraiths only attacking them, so you can usually get them low enough to back before going back to your own jungle and setting up. smite stealing full camps is really strong when junglers already have a hard time keeping up. By the time I hit 6 the enemy rengar was 3 with 7 CS

Plants are fine I guess. There have been times I've used the explosion plant to juke someone and escape with my life over a wall, or knocked them back to create enough distance. The vision plant is fine, it sees stuff and getting the ones in the enemy jungle definitely helps with a bit of vision control. The health one I never see anyone ever use unless they just won a fight and don't want to back. Overall though, they are a lot less fun and strategic than smite bonuses and can honestly just be ignored about 95% of the time except the vision one.

It's weird to me how much people are like "WOW RIOTS LAST 10 CHAMPS OR SO ARE TRASH NO ONE PLAYS" when the last 10 new champs released has

  1. Ivern - new champ who is iirc on the upswing? There hasn't been any competitive chance to see him yet so who knows if he will show up at that level (I'm guessing no)
  2. Kled - yeah bad trash garbage
  3. Taliyah - Definitely not as popular as she was; she had a decent showing early on and especially once the dumb design of the lockout for combos was removed. Showed up a good amount in competitive play until Riot repeatedly worked to put her in the dumpster.
  4. Aurelion Sol - I don't know that he ever had a good playrate because his kit is pretty bland in terms of how it looks, even if he is powerful. Showed up quite a bit at the competitive level.
  5. Jhin - Of the newest 10 champs, probably the most popular if not tied with Kindred or Bard. Shows up at all levels of play frequently.
  6. Illaoi - bad bad bad bad bad
  7. Kindred - Another huge pick that showed up at a lot at all levels. Eaten tons of nerfs to fall off, but still seen.
  8. Tahm Kench - Still huge and seen at all levels of play.
  9. Ekko - Had to be nerfed 3128528950 times to get him to stop showing up in literally every game and he still makes appearancees.
  10. Bard - Still huge at all levels of play.

So really there are two major losers on that list that never really got off the ground, with the rest doing just fine. Not every hero has to be a bard or a Jhin to be successful

What's DOTA's particular bullshit? The absolutely worst designs in LoL to me are and have been since the moment they appeared Riven, Zed, Yasuo, and Lee Sin, so as long as it's not anything similar to them I can probably stomach it.

E: Oh, and also Shaco. The perfect game would ideally have no early game gankers at all, but that's probably too much to ask for. Easy to maintain, consistent vision would also be a boon.

Lee Sin is probably the least bullshit league has in it honestly.

Also, I don't have a problem with Yasuo fundamentally and I think windwall is a cool skill that makes a lot of sense in his kit, but I do think his mid-late game status is just a bit too good because he can be hopelessly behind and still be super relevant.

counterpoint: amumu exists and is cool and good super relevant being hopelessly behind late game???
