So, anyone playing League of Legends?

What I don't get is why not just sell the nu-trundle as a skin, it is pretty nice quality so I would have bought it probably. Now they just messed him up for no reason.

So now Trundle has a healing increasing skill. How about combo Spirit Visage + life steal/regen with that?

 

[Hellraiser]

New patch day!

Changelog

Thresh nerfs seems good, zed nerfs seem somewhat meh. Quinn and Karma get buffed. Also the expected OP red elixir+pots nerfs got introduced.

 

[Grunker]

people who actually care about something as godawful and comicy as lol-lore freak me out a bit

also: yay, patch

I think he doesn't need anything more than a Wriggles. He steals AD and he gets attack speed increase, his damage should be pretty good.

With "old" Trundle, I usually stopped at Madred's and then went for cutlass->BoRK as my sole damage item. Visage is decent as a MR/CDR item, even without the passive which has great synergy with Trundle's own passive and his new W as well I guess. No real reason to get any other MR item over Visage on Trundle, I think.

Also, new ARAM map is nice. So good to finally be able to get into a game without 5+ people dodging in a hissyfit because they didn't get the a champ they like or "OMG, their team is so OP!".

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

Maybe Iceborn would be the best luxury item for him though since his Q is on such a low CD.

Tried new ARAM, got Teemo, fucking Teemo, while their all champions had higher range too 'cept Evelynn, and we had no tanks just two assassins and two adc's. So I built him basically only health and resistances and still they would go after me cock hard for the tiny Teemo ass.

Good to see everybody else hates Teemo too.

Tell me about it, I just played my first match ever with no ranged autoattackers, only AP Kennen & Viktor for us, Syndra for them. Viktor is an asshole when the enemy team is mostly all melee, but I don't feel dirty, I just spam his laugh when he's not laughing at his lasers. Before this you'd just get LUX EZREAL CAITLYN YEAH IT'S LEAGUE OF RANGED even in all random.

 

[Azael]

Iceborn was great on old Trundle, should be great on new one too.

Meanwhile at Riot Games Inc. HQ

Let's introduce a new map. Let's add snowing weather effects on it that are rendered poorly and make people get framerate drops for no reason. But let's make them optional by tying them into the particle effects setting, which means players will see them disabled only when they have the effects set so low other effect are barely visible like banshees veil or morgana's snare making the game indeed more unplayable than with framerate drops.

FFS Riot!

Also r00fles at people picking ignite+flash in ARAM like its SR. Ignite I can understand but flash is the dumbfucks choice unless you need it to initiate like on Galio.

 

[PlanHex]

The bushes and healing thingies on HA are kinda annoying. They look like part of the backdrop or something. I WANT PROVING GROUNDS BACK WAHWAHWAH

Seriously though, having an ARAM game mode that gives win of the day, infinite IP, and what seems like a lot more ip per minute spent playing is awesome.
People need to not be stupid with their re-rolls though. I just played a match with someone who re-rolled Orianna. Sure, we had an AP heavy team, but at least try asking if anyone else wants her first.

 

[Azael]

Two negative things I've noticed about new ARAM so far is that mirror matches are possible and that people seem to take it more seriously now, which leads to more hostility as well. On the whole though I think this is the best new feature of LoL in a long time.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Wait a week for the novelty factor to die down and it'll be back to normal. It's probably just the typical soloqq ragekids trying it out now, they'll be done with it soon.

 

[Renegen]

So many noobs in ARAM it's hilarious. Two games ago we had a Lux and I as Soraka fed her the mana she needed and she sniped people all day and won us the game. Then last game the enemy had a Lux except they lost and after the game her whole team raged at her for not building any mana items, LOL.

Even got to play 4 games with Karma so far in ARAM and finished 3-1. The last game I decided to go for a 40% CDR build and shit was quite intense as all I was doing was spamming abilities as their dive heavy team was all over us. I felt so useful it was almost like I was an AP carry. I think the enemy noticed my Karma too because I even got +2 honorable opponent for it.

 

[Grunker]

So many noobs in ARAM lol I won a game

Cool, tight match-up or..?

Lux and [...] Soraka

 

[Hellraiser]

Lux is easy mode in ARAM, we knew as much since our first codexian ARAM game where that 2k elo ahri stomped us. Never forget!

 

[PlanHex]

It's true though. I played a game earlier where the enemy had the all powerful poke-all-day-u-mad-bro of Jayce and Nidalee, yet somehow still managed to lose hard.

Managed to ruin their day with AD TF of all things.

 

[Hellraiser]

Hey I saw adc TF+nid stomp our ez+nunu bot. Possibly because nasus kept ganking them and nunu said he's not support so he didn't buy wards. That TF carried harder than our ez even after he got more kills. Such a dumb game.

Nautilus jungle is fun though, apart from when your oblivious teammates are sleeping even when you ping mercilessly on the target. Slow as hell though, both in clear time and movement speed. Movespeed quints+AS reds don't help much even with a machete. Still those ganks are so hilarious, hi there ziggs here's an anchor with your name on it. What? You're running away? Here, catch! See, you and the anchor are inseparable! Much more fun than Vi ever was IMO, even if Vi is a mean punching machine dishing out mad damage.

 

[Renegen]

So apparently there are some perks to going 12-5 in your first ARAM games.

I had a team full of plats and we beat this guy who's fucking diamond 1 playing with pros. His team was full of silvers, too heavy to carry gg. But seriously, I feel like I met royalty or something.

 

[HanoverF]

AP Yi and Lux so dumb on ARAMs, Riot should ban because unfun. I mean it was fun for me stomping face, but even my own team was getting mad at me. Might try it with locked camera next time I get Yi to cut down on a few deaths where it's Q reset Q and I lose track of my champ.

 

[Azael]

Yi/Lux/Nid are champs that I seriously would consider re-rolling in ARAM simply because how cheap they feel.

 

[Grunker]

Ezreal is my favourite ARAM-champ, though Blitz is up there somewhere as well.

 

[Jim Cojones]

There's like 30 - 40 champions that are as good as the ones perceived as ludicrously OP in ARAM. Yeah, champs like Nidalee or Lux are good but their influence is definitely overrated.

I'm inclined to say that you're right, except for Nidalee. She makes such a huge difference she can almost win the game on her own. Her Q and W are the two best skills in ARAM period, and they're stuck on the same champion. Top this off with being a pokey champion that is useless on dives, brush-control and good 1v1 capabilities and you have everything that's good in ARAM - on the same champion. The only thing she doesn't have is initiation capabilities.
