The upcoming changes to the jungle look insane.
Will this be the season where Riot says they're changing jungle so they can carry, and mean it!?

Well, dunno bout that. When I think of people carrying, it was Mid laners or AD carries. Rarely top laners since mundo renekton shyvana trundle for like almost 5 months.

I actually really liked when mundo renek shyv and trund ruled top lane. good times, funny how meta shifts so quickly.

She still kinda is.
Only reason she was good is because of that 2.5 second long shield based off her ad. So press R and get over 500 ad (Old BT) and have a shield worth almost 1k

Remember when you can click on the character's minimap icons to get their stats and items? I miss that the most. :applejack:

new summoners rift is pretty sexy
it feels like some parts of the map are a little stretched out compared to what they were before. it may just be due to the aesthetics of the map but yeah

Speaking of minimap icons, I think they should make your own icon have a different color border like your HP bar. I know its not that important, but for consistency's sake I really want it; having my health bar and everything else be a different color than the rest of my team but then have the same color on the mini map triggers my ocd and I dont even have ocd lol.

There were also different win strategies back in the day too ;\
For so long the flow/process of winning in this has been set in stone with no variation. I earnestly find Chess to be more dynamic than what we see these days; but maybe that's because I'm by no means a Chess expert, haha.

"OH THAT WAS SUCH A GOOD MOVE WOW" [Chess]
vs
"woot, one weakness in map pressure = sudden group up on an objective into a clean sweep in map control that gets stalled out with the same result for 30-40 minutes" [League for 2 and a half seasons].

he means build variety
which is basically non-existent in recent characters
Ah fair enough.

That's a result of development of the metagame more then anything else. I mean there are still moves and prediction but the general choking stategy is because the game has becoming more solved in understanding what you can reliably control based on phase and level of advantage.

Actually chess has this problem to a LARGER degree, gain a material advantage without an equivalent or larger positional gains it's easy to simply force trades that result in a won game. Furthermore in chess, at high levels of play people often remember a lot of these positions as truly solved and the game is actually over.

I used to play chess and the issue of stagnation due to the game being too solved was why I left. Not that I was amazing, I was just considering going full on into the competitive scene and this stopped me.

Fiora 'nerfs'.

But really it just makes one shotting a carry easier.

Super great.
That carry should probably get a team to reduce some of those bounces. Besides, those base damage hits are huge.
The whole point of those nerfs is to get Fiora to stop autowinning teamfights and in exchange gets to **** over top lane even harder if she gets fed.

Isn't Guinsoo supposed to be reworking her so she's more like a duelist and less like a walking R button?

Still increase my minion dps by dumb amounts? Give CDR? Super Minion?

If it's a defensive item that's honestly/possibly better, haha. I gotta fit in a defensive item at some point :> Although banshees is maybe was so good.

it doesn't increase minion damage anymore, it just makes the seige minion immune to magic damage and buffs it a bit more
