Turns out, "learning how to CS and manage mana is good" and "taking the rune that nullifies a champs' biggest weakness is good" are not mutually exclusive

I submit that playing out 70 minute comeback games Actually Owns, as almost invariably you get to watch someone on the enemy team slowly lose their mind as they realize their team is throwing

I played a ranked game once where we were down like 9k gold at 20 minutes against 2 hypercarries, one of which was a jinx that over the course of the game went from saying "ggezpz" before they cracked our base to demanding we report their shaco for splitpushing

What I'm saying is that with enough skill and coordination you will 100% be able to beat a team of solo queue players who have been playing the game casually for 5 months no mater what champs are in play, and therefore it's not decided at champ select you just need to Get Good

granted if you too are a solo queue player whose been playing the game casually for 5 months then yes obviously there may be an upper limit of your ability to win a given game if you're at enough of a disadvantage, but that's user error rather than a fault of the mode and arguably something true of summoner's rift games as well

Man, poo poo, they're really cheap now, too. Relic tier 3 is 1900, Spellthief is 1800, and Oasis is only 1500. That's within around 400-500g saved getting Sightstone, which is fantastic.

Other PBE changes: Aftershock now gives 100 (!) Armor/MR with no scaling and damage is down to 10-120 from 40-140. Guardian's up to a 70s cooldown. Ornn got whalloped (30s CD increase on his rank 3 ult, no more unstoppable on Bellow's) and Jinx got buffed with a bunch of QoL stuff.

Yeah one of the first things I thought of when I saw those changes is the support items are getting just cartoonishly gold efficient between the passive/quest reward/bandit/free sightstone

e: oh I see the old quest rewards are replaced by sightstone but still bandit alone probably gets you back like half of the 350 by itself

Yeah tahm kench has easy mechanics but he also has the single highest capacity to gently caress over his own team of any champ in the game, and that's done by doing the exact same stuff you have to do to play him well

Basically if you can't read teamfights etc really well as (support) kench you're at best an otherwise useless wall of hp and at worst making your team fight a 4v6

You'd think being trapped in Actual Hell for multiple years and having to bond with a Guyver suit would gently caress you up a little bit, but she sounds and acts like a bad audition for a Caitlyn VGU. I don't need them to go all grimdark or anything, but she should probably hiss occasionally or something.

Kassadin: acquired a shitload of magic/forbidden armor and tools to survive the void which got torn through immediately, had to let the void consume him in order to survive making him a floaty teleporty ghost man

Malzahar: tripped into a puddle of void, lost his mind and may or may not have a head

I dunno if it's a bug or what but I realized last night Swain's E counts for 2 hits for electrocute which is really really good for mid swain. It's somewhat useless lategame but getting outranged by every midlaner is a lot more manageable when your basic combo is good for a third of their health

This is apropos of absolutely nothing but I keep thinking about one of the zoe nerfs this patch namely her getting a partial reset on her bubble whenever she slept someone, and the more I think about it the more I lose my mind at how nonsensical and obviously awful that passive was in the first place

Like a burst mage's catch ability having a (partial) reset is obviously silly for reasons that I'm sure I don't need to explain to all of you, but like look at other burst mages in the game, even ones that have been around in mostly the same state for ages. Lux, Veigar, Ahri, Brand etc all have high cooldown, usually-single-target catch abilities, it's a time tested and established way to keep burst mages strong in the way they're supposed to be strong. It's been a thing in the game for years.

So why did Zoe's just

have a reset

that triggers when you land it in any way

God help me I'm playing this video game again for the first time in a few months and after 2 years of being a mid/adc shitlord I can't stop playing Sion top. I always got annoyed at my silver/gold teams ARAMing constantly while at the same time not being able to actually do anything about it with whatever immobile teamfighter i was playing, playing a champion built to live in a sidelane and be barely contestable when the other team even realizes I exist is so cathartic and freeing
