Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

[Sinister Slush]

Syndra been getting a lot of play cause apparently she'll be good in S4. Not sure why, but sure it's cause of the nami effect. Buff after buff while every other good thing in league for that lane/jungle gets nerfed.

 

[Boofy!]

Agreed. That and people are intimidated by her high skill ceiling.

 

[Plum]

Syndra has been buffed a few times since release, and the characters that give her the worst time have been nerfed.
Plus she has a high skill floor and high skill ceiling, and people are starting to really figure her out at a high level.
Really not surprising at all to see her being so popular now.

 

[Okuser]

barrier is cancer

if they make any changes at all for s4 it should be to remove that stupid ****ing summoner spell.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I feel like ADC's can't survive without barrier.

Too many Ahri, Fizz and Zeds.

 

[DallasPhat]

Barrier makes bot lane so boring.... Regardless late game barrier probably won't save you from any of them. Barrier just so strong early to mid game where you essential increase your health by nearly 50%.

They did it all of season 1-2, and there were plenty of assassins back then that did the job just fine.

 

[Plum]

I would be fine with no Barrier. If you really need to stop early assassins as an ADC then just pick an ADC who can peel for themselves like Trist, or pick a support that can deal with assassins like Fiddle. Lategame it's not going to stop the Zed that can overkill you by like 3x.
We got along just fine without it before it was introduced.

 

[DallasPhat]

Barrier made bot lane more boring and indirectly made graves suck .

 

[KuroganeHammer]

iunno, i started playing at the end of season 2 so I guess I can't really imagine a world without barrier. lol

 

[Sinister Slush]

The old days of AD carries using Heal and cleanse. Barrier being removed off SR and back for just ARAM would be nice.

 

[Z'zgashi]

As an ADC main, I think Barrier needs to be looked at. Because of Barrier (but moreso Flash, Riot just doesnt want to do anything with Flash for whatever reason), there is rarely a reason to take any other summoner. Only other choices are Cleanse in specific match ups and maybe ignite in kill lanes. Barrier/Flash are way too over centralizing imo and something needs to be done about them.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Flash will never be removed and they nerfed the **** out of it already.
Ignite supports can carry.

 

[Wave⁂]

Riot would probably have to rework like 20 champions if they removed Flash

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I take cleanse when there's a Nasus <:

 

[Z'zgashi]

Yeah, Riot has already admitted that they balance the game with Flash being prominent in mind, but I still think it's just far too powerful and sometime down the line they need to fix that. Not soon necessarily, but they still should eventually imo.

And ignite on Support can be good, but again thats more for kill lanes, for specific MUs, or due to a lack of Ignite elsewhere on the team. That or they dont take Flash, which most do due to how strong assassins are.

 

[Kuro~]

barrier is fine in 3s too :x

 

[ShroudedOne]

I think Syndra's been good for a long time (release), but now that assassins aren't *as* strong, she'll probably become fotm?

I also think barrier needs to be removed. Why would you ever take any other summoner on any AD ever?

 

[Sinister Slush]

When they have a lot of CC so you get cleanse.

 

[Player-3]

when u lane against a fiddlesticks

 

[Ussi]

All they have to do is make barrier a 3:40 to 4min cd instead of 3:09 min cd then you can all in 30 seconds before barriar is up.

Also barriar isn't the end of bot lane fun tbh. I still can net kills down there, but i'm still silver so dumb mistakes still.


So i'm enjoying Elise. Happy i took the trouble to be carried in 3s to gold.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Barrier isnt anti fun, its over centralizing.

 

[Espy Rose]

Barrier prevents any real action down in bot lane.
It's anti-fun.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Ironic especially since Morello doesn't like anti-fun and think healers makes the game unfun.

 

[john!]

bot lane is anti-fun in general

 

[Sinister Slush]

I happen to love playing Jinx or twitch. Just anti-fun when they choose vayne or caitlyn and zone me out like ****** diamond players when they're plat or lower.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Barrier shouldn't shield more than Ignite does in damage.

 

[DallasPhat]

To bad jinx ****s on vayne and goes even with cait and twitch also ***** vayne in lane, so if you're getting zoned out by vayne you may want to learn when to trade and not to trade.

 

[Wave⁂]

Barrier shouldn't shield more than Ignite does in damage.

That's a misleading comparison, as Barrier does not last the full duration of Ignite.

 

[Boofy!]

**** twitch, stupid ****ing rat. I always lose to him.

 

[Sarix]

If I have to deal with Twitch I just pink ward the center of bot lane. Typically I play support since everyone despises that role when I queue but even as an ADC I'll buy a pink ward against Twitch.

I'm personally not wild about how barrier is over-centralized in bot lane. It essentially takes away from the supports job to protect the carry and allows the carry to get away with sloppier laning and positioning. But then again I'm looking forward to the changes for S4 supports and hopefully being able to do more than ward and be around to CC and use item abilities in teamfights and actually function as a support mage.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

So leaks running around about a nid rework and Riot is gonna Olaf/Eve her til they can.

 

[Player-3]

good .

 

[Vyke]

Yeah, **** Nidalee. If there's any champion I had the least amount of fun ever having to lane (or just play against in general) it's that mess.

 

[Shaya]

Dat never-able-to-come-back snowballing spear

 

[Plum]

I love the people who tell you to just dodge them.
Doesn't matter if you dodge 99, the 100th spear that hits you gives them a free 4v5.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Dunno what it entails exactly, but Riot is defiantly looking at her to be nerfed.

It's like the Rengar leak about his rework a while ago where someone on a stream leaked the info.

 

[Zano]

Learn to dodge 100 spears then kid

 

[Coney]

heard someone with an idea, just have the spear have scaling mana

kinda like kass / kog ult or something, each successive spear costs more mana.

it's probably the simplest solution, but having that kind of mechanic tacked onto a regular ability sounds weird

 

[SmashBro99]

Dat spear dmg
Heals
Escapes

Die *****.
