That support part isn't even true.

 

[Boofy!]

Masteries feel incredibly static.. even moreso than last season. Just me?

 

[Player-3]

nope its not just you.

 

[Sinister Slush]

The AD masteries honestly feel like the easiest thing to mess with. Though now item choices at start can be a tad different since d blade nerf.
Fer some reason I'm not having fun with S4 yet, the ugly bars and trinkets being 4 doesn't help.

 

[Espy Rose]

I'd hope not. Season 4 hasn't happened yet.

 

[Boofy!]

Riot said they were hard resetting the MMR for preseason so maybe it's alread happened.

 

[DallasPhat]

I don't remember reading anything about a hard reset. You mean the soft reset like they did from season 2 to season 3? I think the formula they used was (your current mmr elo + 1200)/2.
They do soft resets so bronze players don't have to play diamond players in their placement matches.
Also.. a lot of diamond 5 players have MMR around gold 1 since they can't drop divisions, people should really stop thinking that diamond players are good.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

is it better/easier to play ranked early in the season or does it not matter at all

 

[Espy Rose]

I mean, in the long run, I doubt it matters when you start playing ranked. Starting sooner does give you more time to rank up or recover from a nosedive.
Especially since the game's always getting patched.

Also, what Dphat said. I see a Diamond and I don't get intimidated or anything. Gonna beat that ass just like any other.

 

[teluoborg]

Well Dphat I could swear I saw a Morello post on S@20 saying they would hard reset for preseason and then soft reset for season 4, but after looking for it I can't seem to find it, so maybe it was just a dream :T

 

[Sinister Slush]

A lot of em are boosted, half the time I pop into the /vg/ chat they're discussing how annoying it was boosting X account or whatever. Those boosts are ****ing expensive btw, just silver 1 to gold 5 for example is like $100+ lol

Anyways, if it's like Diamond 4 or 5 I'm not intimidated. But when it comes to mid Diamond 2 or Diamond 1 then I'll be a bit ehhh... at most. Let's be honest here, plat is basically the new gold of this season (or rather last season?). Though oddly enough I never see diamond 3 players now that we're on the subject.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

diamond v players in gold games is basically "hello I was boosted"

 

[Leacero]

Stop being mean guys, diamond players have feelings too.

 

[Sinister Slush]

And lots of money.

 

[Espy Rose]

Yeh. Player 3 is rollin' in dat dough.

 

[Sinister Slush]

He's rolling in ******* and swag.

 

[Player-3]

$$$$$$$$$$$$

So... Yasuo looks balanced.

... AT LEAST HIS BASE STATS ARE SLIGHTLY WORSE THAN FIORA'S.

I miss Nike, dude was awesome at apex.

I wanna play the dude on the PBE when I get home.

Dude personality wise might become my favorite champion.

Drinks, his kits interesting, quotes are fun.

 

[Dekar173]

Wes where the **** were you for some of these changes man?! Stop playing melee and balance the game you ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111111one

@Red: Reported for double post.

 

[choknater]

evelynn is so good with these jungle changes

 

[HondaFoo]

Utility support just feels totally underwhelming right now...looks like all those low elo support-only bads have completely ruined it for everyone. I'm just gonna go LeBlanc in every lane from now on, dis game suxxx

 

[Zano]

annie support building full ap

[Shaya]

If riot's goals were to have support going from like 5% gold to 15-20% then they've over achieved it.
People are obviously still stuck in a s3 metagame mindset, different strats may be more effective, traditional supports may still have an awesome niche.
From what I've seen though, high burst AP casters are the bomb here, for the very same reason why Sona/etc were the bomb in S1/Mid janna/lulu/etc; they scaled too well with gold.

Theorycraftan here, but traditional supports as proper solos (mid) and "kill lanes" elsewhere be looking super effective.
If things don't change though, AD's best lane is also going to end up being mid too.

 

[Ussi]

utility scaling isn't bad.. but they nerfed their subpar AP ratios even further -____-;;

I think Lulu is actually still good though. Giving your adc an AP ratio auto or getting nashoor's tooth on yourself xD

Utility scaling needs to be on more than just SLOWS.. put utility scaling on HARD CC

 

[Player-3]

traditional supports are still fine if you're running a hypercarry


but if you're running like a varus or ashe or a utility carry theres no need to run a peel/traditional support better off doin the deeps

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

People are telling me Wiggles sucks.

I think it's fineish if people can drag the landing phase out and be ok with little to no ganks.

Razors needs that gold passive though and for wiggles to be a cheaper.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

So far preseason 4 patch is great. imo the only fixes that are currently needed are:

Nerf jungle creeps (plus make them give slightly more gold)
Buff supports slightly
Fix unbalanced items (Relic Shield, Wriggles etc)

Next on the to do list:
Nerf Yasuo.

lol @ him having a reworked Vi and Tryndamere passive.

Meanwhile you can buy Fiora's passive for 180 gold.

Dat power creep.

Fiora is a lot newer then even the reworked tryn .

I will agree that while power creep exists, it's not as drastic as this would suggest and not every subsequent champ is an example of it going upward.

Plus we don't even know his numbers on the shield (as last I saw), it could be pathetic.

 

[Zano]

I don't think it's possible to lose with annie support now even playing dumb. I tried.
