Hey I 1v1'd a full build crit plank that game and beat him. (Somehow)

Escaped with 4 hp! :D

Instagibbing squishies is so much fun with Diana.

W>R>Q>Auto

Zed Spotlight

Looks pretty high-skillcap. His kit looks pretty damn good, I guess it all comes down to the numbers.

 

[Deleted member]

Find me a character who has a 20k odd build who doesn't wreak face against enemies with half of that.

sona probably

 

[Mogwai]

sona probably

GA, IE, TF, PD, LW, Zerker's Sona will ruin people pretty hard.

 

[teluoborg]

I guess I will also poke around on the engineering side to get this prioritized. The creation of ARAM originally has been a PuG during a programming contest at Riot, few Rioters just decided to form a group to make an ARAM map and then add it to the custom game. Adding ARAM to the matchmaking queue requires a little more work, but once (game) design approves the concept any platform engineer can do it within a reasonable time. Then it will go though QA, release, etc...

Aram queue ? Riot pls.

Jump on this people. Skler is champion.

HOLY CRAP! You post on smashboards.

That's actually funny you mention AD Sona.

Because when I play with friends and I'm forced to be the ADC I just take Sona and make my support go Soraka.

There is no end to the sustain.

Sona actually has really responsive autos lol.

 

[UTDZac]

I main ADC. Sona autos hurt me inside. I cry a little too.

 

[Pikaville]

Because they are so good?

 

[Ussi]

Sona autos got nothin on Lulu autos

 

[adumbrodeus]

Sona actually has really responsive autos lol.

What are you smoking good sir, cause I want some of dat sh**.


Though I feel like sona adc when paired with leona in lane is a really powerful pubstomper setup, especially that insane level 6.

 

[Ussi]

I like Janna adc for the AD steroid and movement speed passive to position better over Sona though. Can also peel for herself

 

[Vyke]

I just realized Zed's icon looks like Robot Karthus

 

[Oro?!]

Janna 375 range not good enough and no burst. Getting a crit on a Q powerchord with a sheen proc is better than anything Janna can do.

 

[adumbrodeus]

Why not just pick an actual ADC then? I mean you can make that statement generally but sona offers a concrete advantage with her strong general early-game and crazy aoe level 6 burst and she actually has standard ADC range.


I think sona has a niche that if you build around exploiting it gives her a reason to be chosen over traditional ADC. Janna's only real benefit over most ADCs is self-peel, and if you're gonna do that why not just go tris because she has that and is stronger when build as an ADC at every phase except for the super early game, but tris actually has kill potential so she can be slightly less useless midlane and eventually transition to a hyper-carry, Janna is just safe.

"The one mastery we are adding specifically gold related in Utility is a mastery called "Pickpocket" that grants gold upon attacking an enemy champion. This will allow active supports a bit more gold while harassing their opponents, while also being useful for other character types that spec into deep into Utility."

that's one thing i didn't expect

 

[Lovage]

wow that sounds ******** HAHA

could be cool excited to try it

9/0/21 25 AD runes Taric confirmed for OP

 

[Ussi]

Dragon trainer Lulu is really 1350 RP?!? What the hell is Riot thinking.. Give me some unique dance, taunt, jokes if you want 1350 for a skin.

it polymorphs enemies into derpy little dragons, it's hilarious IMO.

 

[Ussi]

Lulu's unique polymorphs with a reskin just cost 975 RP cause turning people in cupcakes and cats aren't any less funny. Even squills still make me laugh.

She doesn't even get a recall animation that new champs and reworks get. This is just plain sad from riot.

 

[Espy Rose]

I'd consider buying it if the face wasn't hideous and the hat didn't look totally lame.
Wicked Lulu remains the best Lulu.

 

[ArcNatural]

Hey smashers, do any of you play this game in like, ranked 5s and stuff? I kind of want to get into a ranked 5s team that plays a couple times a night. Uh, if ELO matters I'm 1510 and NO I AM NOT RAISING IT UNTIL S3 STARTS.

I'd be down, you know all the roles I tend to play D:

 

[Vyke]

New Lulu skin is definitely worth the price. Love Pix's new walking animation.

 

[PhantomX]

So is Zed awesome or not? I want to get him b/c he looks cool and fun to play... basically same reason I bought Kha'Zix.

Ew... his ult animation is so ugly.

 

[Vyke]

Visually he's awesome. He's probably considered underpowered being an AD Assassin with no real item build besides the usual bruta -> BT etc.

 

[PhantomX]

His scaling doesn't seem great either, from what I've seen.

 

[Ussi]

New Lulu skin is definitely worth the price. Love Pix's new walking animation.

.. It's a Pix skin with a skin of Lulu on the side

I want a Lulu skin with new stuff for Lulu.

 

[Vyke]

Different strokes.

 

[adumbrodeus]

NO! My opinion is the only one that matters!

 

[Espy Rose]

Lulu's skin is ugly and hard to look at. Pix's skin is amazing.
Not worth the price tag though.

Clearly is if people are buying it. :O

 

[Ussi]

I had intention to buy it, most of my friends know how much I lulu and how much i want a skin for her, but this skin just slapped me in the face.

 

[Asdioh]

it polymorphs enemies into derpy little dragons, it's hilarious IMO.

but... the cupcakes are hilariouser!

 

[Espy Rose]

It really isn't.
But people have spare RP lying around. Or a couple of bucks.

maybe the item will finally be good like Battlefury was in dota

 

[Geoberos]

Xin [or insert natural sustain-y AD bruiser] with Ravenous Hydra? Sounds glorious -- unless someone can beat my hyped expectations with theory crafting with the two.

 

[PhantomX]

Xin will be godly with that item. New Tiamat is great for him. HE ALREADY HAS HIS OWN CRESCENT.

But basically it will help give him waveclear, which is what can stop him up.

It may however be better suited for melee burst assassins or something... champs that build a lot of AD.

 

[Espy Rose]

I wonder how well this'll work on Poppy.
Wouldn't the splash damage further increase because of her ult?
I mean, what if you ult one person, then target someone near enough for the splash to affect the ulted target? I'd imagine her ult would increase that specific splash damage.

Plus, Poppy's wave clear sucks.
