So, anyone playing League of Legends?

[Azael]

Fuck it because people on your team builds it, right?

Build is pretty sweet in the hands of people who know what they're doing but on an everyday, team-fighting Ezreal it's just an AD carry that deals less damage.

Besides that, I don't get the disdain for Ezreal. He's so much fun to play. Or is this more of the Codex' lore-faggotry

I just got dead tired of seeing Ezreal every fucking game back when he was FotS and this build makes him both annoying to face and you can also be dead sure that an Ez on your team doesn't understand what the build is good for. Ezreal is p. fun to play, I can agree with that. I don't think I've even read his lore, so it's not that at least. Something about needing maps?

 

[Renegen]

Exactly we could use a map with shorter or longer lanes, different jungle paths/camps, maybe different creep wave sizes/compositions. Something to change the pace from SR and *gasp* make picks somewhat different. Think how Riot keep changing the jungle each season, why not have two classic mode maps suited for different types of junglers? That would already shake things up a lot.

There's lot that can be done with classic by just changing a few things in a map and not getting rid of the things that make classic what it is.

It's too late. For this to work, we need more than two maps. A good map pool also keeps everyone on their toes as they try to find out which comps work on which maps. This also causes greater diversity within each map because training and researching becomes stretched on more maps, so finding the exact best way to play a map becomes much harder.

I think the problem with maps is that Riot is happy just making money with SR. I see the additional maps as a way to sabotage the competition by offering the same gameplay as them then as truly innovating new gameplay and metas. Apparently there's a lot of MOBAs out there, and some are built on the "fast and fun" Dominion gameplay, Riot can say they offer that too so there's no reason to switch.

And yeah, fuck blue build Ezreal. The worst part about that build is that he has 150 armor.

Been having a LOT of fun with jungle Elise lately.

It's not the joy of max range cocoon (although it's pretty sweet). It's not the fact she can continue jungling while OOM AND regenerate health (although that's great too). It's not that her EQWRWQ combo nukes about 60-70% off someones health during laning when you gank (although that's pretty sick). It's all that AND the fact that once they panic flash, you can rappel->Q again and nom their head. It never gets old.

The recent nerfs didn't really impact her jungle, since you have your spiderlings to tank for you. The only time she really gets below 50% hp is during her first clear if she's forced to solo blu with no pull.

Instead, they waste their time on useless garbage like Dominion. Which they just announced they will spend more time on by assigning resources to make special changes to champions on that map so it becomes more balanced. Who called that shit out as a useless concept that would split the community and waste RIOT's time? Hate to say I told you so.

To fully realise how much talent is wasted on this shit you have to know that a guy who designed awesome champions like Janna, Anivia and Cassiopeia has spent last two years on designing and polishing Dominions and Proving Grounds.

 

[Ulminati]

So you're saying the new maps fulfill the noble objective of ensuring there are no "traditional mages" so Grunker has something to complain about?

 

[Jim Cojones]

PBE buff for champions with charged abilities looks great.

 

[Hellraiser]

Blue buff restores charges? R00fles!

Too bad it won't last.

 

[Ulminati]

Akali just came.

Heck, Vi with infinite E would be sick.

 

[Azael]

Confirmed as a bug, but a fun one.

Grunker, META is not an acronym either, it's not supposed to be capitalized. ffsGRUNKER

Ok after I got the wonders of W-Q combo down to some 8/10 or 9/10 success rate I have fallen in love with Alistar. Spam heal, best bodyguard, best plays save from maybe blutz but easier to pull off IMO, best tankiness out of all supports as you basically can't be killed when you ult. I just played against Yi Darius Trynda Nidalee (I NO SUPPORT AP INSTEAD) Ezreal. I didn't even think about it when I picked Ali but you can guess the hilarity of AP Yi wanking and I just walk to him Q-W him to teammates, fuck you Yi I guess there's a downside to just wanking still. Now that I have learned something about him I have five straight wins with him (and before that I just lost with him always). Yeah fuck these newfangled thrash and nami and whatever supports it's back to the first support champion I owned.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

This is worse than fucking reddit, where they have made an acronym out of "I am a" - the acronym is "IAMA"


Come to think of it, it isn't that bad.

 

[Jasede]

I'd assume that's short for "I am a [x], Ask Me Anything."
Makes sense to me.

 

[Ulminati]

That awkward moment when you reorganize your rune pages and end up with blank ones. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing from my lineup? I got:

Magic Pen red, Mana regen yellows, scaling MR blues, AP quints

Flat AD Reds and Quints, flat armor yellows, scaling MR blues.

3 Apen/6Aspeed reds, flat armor yellows, scaling MR blues, lifesteal quints

3APen/6ASpeed reds, flat armor yellows, flat AP blues and quints

Hybrid pen reds, flat armor yellows, scaling MR blues, move speed quints

MPen reds, flat armor yellows, sclaing MR blues, flat AP quints

Flat Armor reds and yellows, scaling MR blues, gold/5 quints

MPen reds, flat armor yellows, flat AP blues, gold/5 quints

2 blank pages.

 

[PlanHex]

Could always make some semi-defensive AP mid pages with movespeed. I like a little extra movement speed most of the time.

Mpen red, armor yellows, AP blues, movespeed quints when against AD mids
Mpen red, manareg yellows, flat/scaling MR blues, movespeed quints when against AP mids

Maybe exchange the manareg with hp/lvl to use with manaless champs too.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

random crit chance lol runes, full armor, full mr

something with scaling ad check the gold value on those

 

[Markman]

I use like 3 pages for 90% of the games, AP/tank one, AD/jungler and support page. Having 2 AP more than armor at start I found pretty much insignificant. Mastery pages I usually flip more and experiment. Most picked are Warwick build from that 3 hour guide for Mao,Naut,WW etc, another AD/tank for APless or manaless champs, Ulminatis Taric for most supports and a pure AD or AP page.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

So I realised that even while I'm doing pretty well with Zac my build actually fukcing sucked, Spectral Wraith is completely inefficient on him as is a fast haunting guise, what you want to do is have just sorcs and rush a couple of kindlegem items, golem and visage preferably and then randuins and/or sunfire, I don't know why I thought building some AP on him does anythign at all (well I used to get so fed it didn't matter what I build) when that leaves him so squishy he can't spam his W which is the way he deals damage and he can't disrupt without CDR. I don't know why everybody's jizzing their pants over Sejuani, is that initiation ult really so amazing that it justifies picking her over Nautilus and Zac who exel in every other way over her?

 

[Jim Cojones]

1v1 competition was every bit as retarded as expected. Hey, let's see which jungler is better at going 1v1 mid in Caitlyn vs Caitlyn matchup!

I think the idea is okay. I just have no clue why they'd set it up like this. I thought they were going to use it to fill out time between matches.
