Grand Old Thread: League of Legends!

Having 3 1k+ distance spells aren't broken at all. Also getting a free void staff isn't OP either. Let's throw him a movement speed buff to.

 

[HondaFoo]

Now that Riot finally feels safe having super long-range mages like Xerath around, I think they should bring Orianna back to what she once was...

 

[PhantomX]

Problem with Orianna was that she was strong both close (b/c of AP scaling per auto attack and shield + combination ms buff/slow) and far.

 

[Player-3]

orianna is still a very strong ap carry though

she doesn't need buffs

 

[john!]

oh boo hoo hoo. reduced damage while dead has given me a massive boner, thank god they're actually doing something to incentivize you to kill the opposing AP Carry when it's Karthus. besides, he's easily in the same power league as all the other APs they listed for nerfs, so I have no idea why you're complaining. only godly AP it doesn't look like they're hitting is Anivia.

see a doctor if it persists for longer than 6 hours

and yeah i know karthus is really strong, but he's only been nerfed for like a year and a half, and i'm afraid he'll become the next twitch or something

 

[DMG]

Make Cass actually have to use mana for **** sake Riot.

Make all casters based of energy.

Blue buff control not important anymore... gg

v1.0.0.130 - 2011-11-29

Wall of Pain
Wall duration reduced to 5 seconds from 7
Now only affects a target once (instead of reapplying every pass through)
Fixed a bug where Leona's passive and the Dominion center Sigil could cause an immediate double kill against Karthus

v1.0.0.126 - 2011-10-05

Fixed a bug where Requiem would sometimes not finish channeling when cast during Death Defied

v1.0.0.118 - 2011-05-10

Death Defied
Duration reduced to 7 seconds from 8
No longer reduces your respawn time
Requiem ability power ratio reduced to 0.6 from 0.7

Prior to this was the large series of buffs on him. Now, here we have 2 nerfs, 6 months apart, and the last one was over 2 months ago. They give him time after each set of nerfs to re-evaluate and he's been an S-tier lategame AP carry ever since his buffs in October 2010 if not even earlier than that. There's nothing to worry about, they're taking a level headed approach to nerfing a character that is on the high end of the power spectrum.

Gentlemen:

Jungle Karthus.

Thoughts?

 

[DMG]

Never talk about Karthus, John will have something to say

I think it's gross, but it does sorta work. He clears fast and ganks with wall are stronger than you'd think, but it's still really weak to counter jungling and shoehorning someone who's better in a lane into a sub-optimal role.




DMG, that's an uncalled for jab
john!, 2 wrongs don't make a right

Cut it out.

 

[UTDZac]

So. Bets on if I can hit 2k by only playing Teemo in solo q from now on (regardless of lane availability)?

 

[DMG]

Karthus OP? John knew about it 9 months prior

Small nerf to Karthus? Not needed Karthus not op.

Large nerfs to APs in general? THE WORLD IS OVER

Zac 50 Brawl dollars you can't

 

[UTDZac]

Wtf is a brawl dollar?

 

[Mogwai]

So. Bets on if I can hit 2k by only playing Teemo in solo q from now on (regardless of lane availability)?

as long as you don't have to mid/jungle very often, you should be able to do it. if you have until the end of the season, you 100% got this, if we're talking about like, just a month or something, might be tougher.

 

[john!]

i do think it is funny how pointing out that someone is a brawl backroom member is considered an insult.

you are my hero if you do this.

I didn't say it's an insult, I'm just saying that you're continuing a stupid and petty argument that has nothing to do with league of legends.

 

[Wave⁂]

How do you even build backdoor Teemo, anyway? Max AS, or tankier with like stuff like Mallet?

 

[UTDZac]

You think mech urgot is the character under teemo's left hand in this comic: http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws...011.10.07 Super Teemo/superteemo-promo-en.jpg

From the looks of it Zac, i'd say yes.

 

[Mogwai]

that's 100% rumble

 

[Sinister Slush]

It probably is, but I will argue that the right arm looks like a hook instead of flamethrower, since i'm sure it doesn't bend.

 

[PhantomX]

Even has Rumble's mace.

I'll make a bet that I can hit 2.1k before you hit 2k Zac. If you don't want to accept that condition then give me a time frame on how long you have to hit said goal.

What's your current ELO? Mine's 1861. I need 139 more points.

 

[BSL]

it's rumble

look at the head

 

[Z'zgashi]

What does the elo start at? Im thinking about finally getting into ranked (my rune pages are complete now) and Id like to know what Im going to begin at.

Where you begin is somewhere from 1000-1400 (I think 1000's the min?) Based on placement matches.

 

[Mogwai]

you start at 1200 and your first 50-100(? can't remember exactly how many) games are weighted more heavily to accelerate your placement into the correct elo (in theory).

 

[fkacyan]

And thats why you see so many people at like 1750 with barely any games played!

Duoq to start, play one game a month.

 

[DMG]

First 10 are placement, next 40 are heavier weight.

 

[Wave⁂]

Spoiler

 

[Faithkeeper]

i know someone who trolled their way down to 800 elo.

 

[UTDZac]

I just can't bring myself to buy that vayne skin...

 

[Leacero]

It's Rumble in that picture b/c it's a yordle town and Rumble is a yordle.

^^ Best evidence.

 

[MacD]

omg that vayne skin

i want

it's so red

 

[fkacyan]

I love how, when you're losing a game, telling people in a nice, educational way how they could have done better in their own role is "blaming everybody else." Even when the first thing you say is how you ****ed up.
