camille is loving broken, she's been the new Irelia since before there was a new Irelia

I despise her whenever I see her
Hmm never played her but it sounds like it's time to check her out in Nexus Blitz since god's greatest gift aka Teemo is usually banned

Is anyone posting metrics for nexus blitz I'm really curious if what I think is broken is what's actually broken in that mode. I've played a shitton of Nexus Blitz the past two weeks and I hope it comes back soon.
It never went away, at least on the US servers. Currently queued for a match. There's a tier list here https://lolalytics.com/blitz/worldwide/platinum/plus/tierlist/

In my own experience, Yasuo, Yi, and Brand are the absolute shitwreckers that really need bans if you want to have a fun match

Well it's random so you can't pick, but if you manage to get Riven or Vi you will most likely wreck the poo poo out of the enemy team. Also Kayn is fuckin ridiculous in that mode

stay your blade - aram only player does not mean aram only account. it is honourable to have most of the champions and play only aram
Oh yeah I guess I should have clarified I am not one of those lovely aram accounts, I have been playing since 2012 and have literally every champion and still 130k blue shard things. I'd be a nexus blitz-only player but they took it away :mad:

Went from a few days of Underlords to this today and man the UI is just lacking. I'm spoiled by the draft screen that shows you how many of each of a unit you have, or if you have none, how many more of each faction it will bring you. Also the faction icons need to have colors and not just be all grey.

However the LoL champions are more interesting imo, and now that queues are unfucked it's fun!

Starting to get pretty annoyed with the "put a three star item-stacked draven/trist in a corner and surround them so no assassin can reach them" tactic which 99.99999% of people seem to be doing right now

TFT is just a D20 simulator in which I roll a 1 fairly often

How the gently caress did they think having creep waves that give you no item whatsoever was fair in any way

TFT is bad because the item rounds are worse than just RNG, they turn the game from "playing the odds" to "did you get randomly assfucked by receiving no items while other dude has 3 completed items they can put on their draven"

Underlords is definitely the superior game but maybe some QoL improvements to TFT will happen and it will be actually kind of fun at some point

This game is too rng to win, says me, the guy who can reroll, level up, choose to buy and sell the champions I want, place items on who I want, pick what I want from what's available in the shared draft, place champions strategically to win fights, choose to work towards specific synergies and change later, strategically pick champions away from other players to ruin their comps, and literally see exactly what all the other players in the game are doing at all times

it's just too rng gut dangit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The point from last page was that the item RNG is hosed. You can literally finish a loot round without getting a single loving item. People would be herp derping about draft rounds too if there was a chance that no cards would show up to choose from

Spent some time playing Legends of Runeterra and it appears to have the solid foundation of MtG/Eternal/TESL but with everything turned up to 11 and seemingly way overpowered and wacky. Attack on the opponent's turn? Sure. A 9/4 hero who dies and instantly becomes 9/9 with additional abilities? Why not! Ball lightning that is resummoned every time an allied unit attacks? Why the gently caress not?

The games are short and generally pretty crazy and everything feels like it belongs in a combo deck. Looking forward to playing a lot more of this.

Protip if you quit/lose a LoR match you still get 50xp (You get 100xp for a win) so if you're in a hurry to get a champion bundle or something on your reward timeline you can just chain quit AI matches.

I'm sure this will be fixed pretty quick

I'm on this path too, have lost 7 placements and have 1 left to do, will likely drop straight from high silver to iron. Hugely discouraging as I had some great games in there, but I guess that's what TFT and Legends of Runeterra are for until it resets again!
