Sugar Rush OP. No joke, 3 of the last 5 skins Ive been Mystery Gifted are Battlecast Cho, Super Galaxy Rumble, and Nunu Bot.

I really want Super Galaxy Rumble, ****

Dre has it but USES THE DEFAULT SKIN. I'm so jealous.
Galaxy Rumble is technically slightly worse to use because it gives a visual cue when your Q is overheated. Of course people will just look at your heat bar anyway, but if you were at 45 heat and then Q'd, you don't don't gett he bonus but on another skin it'd be hard for the enemy to know that just by looking at the bar in the heat of the moment (if they weren't paying attention to your bar at first).

P3- Like I said, it's only slightly worse. I never said it was a huge deal.

Zano- It's not glitched. I guess you also don't know what 'slightly worse' means (hint: it means that it's technically inferior to the other Rumble skins, bot not significant enough to deter you from using the skin).

Doesn't rumble's skin for all of them like

change color when overheat happens lol
You don't play Rumble much do you....

They all change for overheating, but only Galaxy's Q changes when it's in the danger zone (ie. gets the over-50-heat bonus).

So when Rumble tries trade the opponent will be able to tell instantly whether he's in the danger zone or not even if he wasn't paying attention to his heat beforehand.

That honestly doesn't matter, which was why P3 made that post towards you lol.
For someone who doesn't even know the difference between overheating and simply being in the danger zone you seem awfully confident for what matters when playing against the champion.

Also I never said it 'mattered' in the way you guys are implying. I was just pointing out that it technically gives the enemy slightly more information about your heat and trading potential than other skins. I was just pointing that little fact out. I never claimed that it's significant enough to not use the skin, so I don't understand why you guys are overreacting and implying that I thought it was a big deal.

Unless you want to argue that it doesn't give them more information than the other skins, but then you'd be wrong.

Ok, so generally dre spews idiocy, but where exactly is the issue? wouldn't easily knowing whether flamespitter started in the danger zone as opposed to taking him into the danger zone be useful info because it makes the difference between a good trade and a bad one?

Speaking as somebody who never plays rumble and hates top lane, I'm curious if there's some other noticeable indicator of this.

the issue, i believe, is that dre doesn't use the galaxy rumble skin, for presumably that reason.

he's trading the "absolute awesomeness" that is the sweet skin for the "nonimpactful" information

Adumb- The difference between a non danger zone Q and a danger zone Q is huge because it's a 50% damage increase. At levels 4-5 Rumble outtrades pretty much every melee AD in the game (probably most melee APs too but I don't have enough experience with them) if he manages his heat correctly.

Technically the info doesn't really mean anything if you pay attention to his heat bar the entire time. But for example, on classic Rumble if you Q at 45 heat your heat bar will turn yellow (as you will now have 65 heat) but you won't get the DZ bonus as you Q'd under 50 heat. Now if you didn't see that his bar was grey when he Q'd, you won't know whether he has the DZ bonus or not on classic Rumble because his Q looks the same. On Galaxy Rumble however you'll know that it was a sub-50 Q because it won't have the blue flames. On many melee ADs DZ bonus or not is the difference between whether you should trade with Rumble or not.

Like I said not a huge deal but the extra info that Galaxy provides could help you sometimes. For example Rumbles sometimes get to 50-80 heat, then wait for it to drop to between 50-60 before initiating a trade or waveclear with Q. Now if you weren't looking at his heat for a couple of seconds you might not know where his heat was at when he Q'd (as it drops rapidly after 4 seconds of not casting spells).

I have said multiple times that it's not a big enough deal to not use the skin. I don't use the skin because I prefer the classic skin.

I think Super Galaxy Rumble is one of the best skins in the game.

Also on another note, Azir's release skin is a Galactic one.

What's his relationship with Nasus and Renekton?

I can see why people like it, but Rumble is the champion that got me into this game and is my all-time favourite champion, so the classic skin has sentimental value for me. Also I find the Galaxy auto animation to be clunky.

Only other skin I ever really use is the jungle skin if I jungle with him normals.

I should try Feral Flare Rumble.

I'm not THAT ignorant of his kit, I just haven't played him since season 2 when i was tramatized by top lane and even then infrequently.

My question is whether there's another indicator of this fact.


his resource bar goes past 50% and turns yellow as opposed to gray
I know that much, but my understanding of his abilities is that he gets the bonus when he casts abilities in the danger zone, so it's entirely possible he could've cast flame spitter when at almost there, pushing him into the danger zone but not activating the bonus for that cast, right?

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're asking. Are you asking if there is any other way to know whether his Q has the bonus or not? On non-Galaxy Rumble there's no way to know other than seeing his heat before he Qs. The tooltip won't tell you. An icon will appear when he Qs, and a DZ icon will appear when he gets into the zone. The Q icon doesn't change if it gets the bonus or not, the DZ icon will just appear next to it when you get into the zone. So you can Q at 45 heat and icon-wise it would be the same as Qing at 55 heat.

I know that much, but my understanding of his abilities is that he gets the bonus when he casts abilities in the danger zone, so it's entirely possible he could've cast flame spitter when at almost there, pushing him into the danger zone but not activating the bonus for that cast, right?
Yeah that's right, which was my whole point. From 31-50 heat Qing with Galaxy Rumble will give the enemy info that they would not have gotten on another skin (if they didn't pay attention to your heat at the time of casting the Q).

complaining about anything on super galaxy rumble clearly implies you didn't watch gurren lagann which implies you have a vast hole in your life

So when the season ends in November, do your ranked stats like Champion winrates etc. get wiped? Also what do preseason raned matches count towards?

Using Galaxy Rumble is like the opposite of using Frostfire Annie back in the day.
Frostfire Annie was technically a better skin for the longest time because the stun indicator was harder to see, but ultimately who the **** cares.

I get that feeling with a few champs as well. Pulsfire Ez' auto animation seems really clunky to me, I prefer the basic skin for that.

It's so ironic that people call you out on saying things which are true with the disclaimer that it's negligible for the choice, yet noone flames [with DZ Q] you for wanting to FF Rumble.

From last pre-season, it seems like you can keep ranking up or w/e and effectively just alter your MMR which is what will be the basis when you do the 5 re-placement matches at start of next season.

all of this **** happened because dre accidentally said "Q is overheated" instead of "Q is danger zoned" and a few people were too stupid to know what he meant and now this thread blows

on a slightly less cancerous note... i may have a new favorite streamer:

Are MR blues necessary against APs in lane, or is it ok to take AP/CDR.
You've heard me rattle on about how CDR blues are bad on SR. So many items have that stat it's not funny.

CDR blues are great for arams though if you're playing like Morgana or Soraka though they have devastating spells that need CDR.

AP blues are also fine in any game mode and are a fine sub for MR per level if you're someone like LeBlanc, (but not if you're melee)

I only get CDR blues if I intend on getting max CDR. So normally if I get CDR blues it's because I can't get max CDR from items alone.

To me it's more a question of how necessary MR blues are for trading/winning lanes against APs. I figure that if many mages take AP blues over MR, then the MR isn't totally necessary if you play the lane right.

uhhh
how?

theres plenty of top-lane (and jungle) champions who only get 2.5-5% from masteries and would like to get 10 from the get-go because its a lot easier to get 30 than 40, esp if you dont get ionian because tabi and mercs are OP lmao

anyway i saw this chinese guy go 9x health yellows and 9x armor blues when they dont need MR. looked pretty cool

Frozen Heart, Jungle Items, Locket, Cleaver, Frozen Fist, Ghostblade, Spirit Visage

All popular items with CDR that a top laner or jungler might buy

also blue pot and blue buff exist but to be fair it's not likely that you'll buy a blue pot early game, nor is it likely a top or jungler will get to keep blue buff (unless mid laner doesn't care).
