So, anyone playing League of Legends?

[Azael]

TF's passive gave a lot of hidden power to his team, so I can see why they'd want to change that really. In general, global passives might be a tad too strong really.

 

[HanoverF]

Uh oh, Janna.

 

[Mystary!]

New TF passive incoming.

I thought the point of loaded dice was to avoid the randomness of a roll, shouldn't it always give you 6?

 

[dibens]

Playing Singed 24/7 has really fucked up my last hitting skills. Thankfully no-one instalocks junglers, so I can avoid the emberassement.

THOSE BASTARDS BETTER KEEP THEIR FILTHY MITTS OFF MY FAVORITE SUPPORT!

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

Janna is banworthy but simultaneously she's the best friend of my every favourite champion because of the passive. Free MS for Xin WOOOOO I'M MOVING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT

 

[Renegen]

Every fun thing getting nerfed. Janna passive gone I can't wait for the +15 move speed every time she casts a spell on her ally passive. Having a global passive and magically finding your teammates aren't feeding or your teamfights going better than expected is half the fun of them. It actually helps the team as opposed to just getting yourself stronger.

 

[Jasede]

They won't do that since that's Nami's passive.

 

[Ulminati]

They'll pull a shyvana. Remove the +AD from her shield and put it in her passive instead

 

[bloodlover]

Oh dear Odin, the games in Korea make LCS look like shit.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

The best thing at being noob Gold 5 player is that you get to play fun ass champs like Mordekaizer. Enemy jungle and top jump at you? IT'S A DOUBLE KILL

 

[Jasede]

Oh dear Odin, the games in Korea make LCS look like shit.

Can you tell me where I can watch Korean games, ideally with English commentary?

 

[Ulminati]

Monte Cristo does the english commentary on the OGN. They're on twitch live. Or you can search youtube.

 

[uaciaut]

Oh dear Odin, the games in Korea make LCS look like shit.

I don't think the difference is that big generally, NA/EU teams just derp a lot more when it comes to communication/coordination but i don't think the difference is by any means insurmountable.

On a sidenote i was so sad Gambit lost to SK :<

BEWARE! FILTHY KOTAKU BEYOND THIS POINT!

http://kotaku.com/league-of-legends-player-jailed-after-terrorist-threat-610691101

Trash talk during video game play isn’t all uncommon. And, while it’s troubling when the chatter turns sexist, racist, homophobic or extremely threatening, many games and communities have their own remedies: penalties, bans, negative consequences for player reputations. The last thing you’d expect is for someone to wind up in jail. But that’s exactly what happened to 19-year-old Justin Carter after a League of Legends match. He’s been in jail since February.

Carter was playing Riot’s hit MOBA game in February and jokingly responded to another player’s comment. His words, according to Carter’s father Jack, were “Oh yeah, I’m real messed up in the head, I’m going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their still, beating hearts,” followed by “lol” and “jk”.

After seeing the comments on Facebook, an unidentified Canadian woman looked up Carter’s personal information, found an old address located near an elementary school and called the cops. The then-18-year-old Carter was subsquently arrested on February 14th on charges of making a terrorist threat and has been in custody awaiting trial for more than three months.

Many people feel like mass killings like the Newtown shootings are nothing to joke about and any remark that seems to hint at violence at that scale should certainly be investigated. But, according to a petition letter written by his parents, a police investigation of Justin Carter’s home turned up no weapons of any kind. Carter has a hearing on July 1st to review his case and could be sentenced to eight years in jail if found guilty of the charges.

Welcome to last month Ulminati (and Kotaku).

 

[Ulminati]

Sorry Renegen. I don't check Kotaku as religiously as you do.

 

[Renegen]

Oh it even made it on CNN. But glad to know thanks to you it was on Kotaku.

tldr Janna passive will go out eventually and Morello is a douchebag as always

also aura items are toxic

FFSRIOOOOOOOOOOOOT

 

[Erzherzog]

At this point I call incompetency on Riot, because pretty much half of what is in league has been described as "toxic" by the damn designers themselves.

 

[Berekän]

In a few patches every lane will be closed for everyone but its original laners so you don't get any outside help that might give you an edge, making it a true 1v1 lane. FFS Riot how are aura items toxic? This is a fucking team game, they give your team an advantage the same it would give it your AD carry getting a IE 10 minutes before the enemy

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

I'm guessing they want to replace them with active items so there's more decision-making in play.

 

[PlanHex]

People forget to active items all the time though.
I know I do. Especially stuff like Randuin's or Shurelya's.

 

[Ulminati]

Well... Ever since I started playing World of Tanks, I haven't even opened LoL. I think ELO decay is about to set in. It's strange - but not entirely unpleasant - to play a multiplayer game where people on both teams are friendly, even when they die.
