So, anyone playing League of Legends?

[Undead Phoenix]

Anyone else going to be migrating to Dota Smite after that patch?

 

[dibens]

I love the changes tbh. I usually jungle with bad duelers and no leashing will hopefully reduce those pesky early invades. Also nerfs on that obnoxious spiderbitch, which is always good news.

Wouldn't know. Haven't touched LoL since I picked up WoT again

 

[Renegen]

There is still a leash, the buffs are spawning at the same time.

This is funny because complaints about the newish jungle in Smite dwarfs the complaints about Aegis changes.

 

[Grunker]

jesus christ juul you are an autist when it comes to moba news

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

Lol I just played Udyr and jungle Malphite tried to invade me. Suffice to say he was level 4 when I was 9 as the reward for that little tactic.

 

[Markman]

Ive been trolling EU West out of boredom and dayum its nasty to jungle without runes and masteries.
So I was like fuck it, bought Nunu and won 5 games in a row. Best 450 IP eva spent.
Seems EUW client is way more instable and buggier. Always some crap like Active game not found, 30 sec freezes when someone declines a game.
gg riot gg

Full of smurfers tho. Barely any noobs there at lv 6.

I heard Riot use that t word again ('toxic', not 'tranny' for reference)

Apparently phage is a toxic item. I was not aware. Seemed like a great item for melee against range top, but apparently it was some magic I win button for lane. (No bullshit, that's how one of the developers described it.)

FFSRIOT.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

In Melee vs. Melee, which doesn't exist, it kinda is, when one of you is winning all he has to do is get into melee range and it's inescapable all-in because of permaslow. Against ranged it doesn't matter so much since they can farm from afar and the melee guy probably wasn't winning in the first place.

They also said Skarner is kinda toxic. To me he's kinda shit too, but when he gets in range there's nothing you can do anymore ('cept mash Vayne abilities and laugh I guess).

I'm more concerned that Yomuu's was nerfed in S3. Why was that again?

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

I hate buzzwords.

A year ago all you'd hear in a game was "REPORT CUNT REPORT BITCH ASS COCK BALLSACK ASS CUUUUNT FEEDER REPORT"... and some Polish if you're REALLY lucky. But now a days it's all "TOXIC TOXIC TOXIC TOXIC" I mean Christ has that buzzword gone viral or what?
LoL is going to need the Toxic Avenger in about six months if this shit persists.

3.10 Patch notes, should be up later today:
http://euw.leagueoflegends.com/news/patch-310-notes

RIP AP YI, goodnight sweet prince

Looking forward to trying the rework though.

 

[Mystary!]

AP Yi is dead, long live AD Yi.

 

[Markman]

Always liked him more AD based instead of instagib Alpha stike one trick pony.

 

[Darth Roxor]

I... don't see how this rework is supposed to change anything for him. He's just gonna get focused and melted in every fight, like he always did.

 

[Mystary!]

You... haven't seen AP Yi in action? He was played like Katarina, shows up late for fights when everyone is low on health and cleans up with resets.
AD Yi will play the same way, the difference is he wont have that ridiculous sustain in lane anymore, and he now has better follow-up damage should he fail to get a reset.

 

[Darth Roxor]

I... meant only the AD version, given how AP has been [redacted]. ffsRIOT was supposed to make melee carries more viable and shit because even they've recognised how horrible they are, except for Trynd who is an IDDQD-cheesepick, which is the only thing that makes him effective. The changes do nothing to make Yi "viable", in fact, he's hardly been changed at all.

 

[Hellraiser]

It changes everything about AP Yi Darth Roxor.

 

[Renegen]

Holy crap, the new Master Yi has the fastest clears of any jungler out there. I may just have to play him.

I see him being picked up by others too.

 

[Mystary!]

Picked up? More like, "oh hey a rework lets try it!"

 

[Jim Cojones]

I haven't played all that many games with the new patch but so far it looks like cheap, tanky build path was so heavily nerfed I'm not sure if it's worth getting Locket on supports. I feel like I don't really get any tankier if I get it, I'm just fucking squishy.

Sure, on the ones who already have some natural tankiness it's not horrible and if you want to initiate with Leona, Tresh and similar champs, you don't have much choice in terms of cheap, all-around defensive items anyway. But if you don't plan on initiating then it might be better to take someone with decent AP scalings, buy guise/shadows etc. and become 2nd rate caster instead of building a 2nd rate offtank like one usually would ever since meta of support + AD duo lane became standard.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

What do you mean, support itemization did not change in any way, it is still just philo/shurelias, ruby ss, random boots and ward plus oracles. That is all you get for being the teams bitch.

I dig nu-Yi in theory, it seems better to try to have him alpha strike as often as possibble than just right-click. I dunno if this iteration works yet, but at least ap yi is dead even while nu-yi plays a bit similarly.

I am getting the hang of utilyr, just zoom around the map at supersonic speeds, tank with infinite shields and deal good damage. He is really fun, i use ms/as runes, 1/8/21 and boots 4 opening on him. I had a rough time learning him but now I am getting mostly wins with him. I also play some Rengar jungle now to good effect, his ganking is still crazy good even if his other jungle aspects kinda suck.

Lies, this doesn't apply to any level of play outside professional tournaments where supports get much less gold from assists since it hardly ever happens for them to get full assist gold without sharing it with jungler and there's generally much less deaths in early stages of the game.

For normal and ranked games, even in diamond, you can expect to follow your initial standard items (boots/stone/gp10) with first big item by 25 minutes. In a 40 minute game you can easily dish another one. If your lane was doing particularly well early, it's possible to build something like Aegis by 17 minute mark if you skip philo.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

I disagree, warding costs so fucking much you can not buy anything while doing it, and when you get ahead you just gain vision advantage. If you get really ahead you might get kindlegem or something. Maybe if your teammates ward too you can buy an item but that just does never happen.
Fucking shitphone collapsas all my text into a blob. Why? What a piece of shit

 

[Erzherzog]

Totally disagree. When I play mid, or god forbid, top; I almost always am able to have enough spare gold to get a ward or two. What good is that extra 75 (or 150) going to do when I'm back out in the lane? I have to kill what...three extra creeps before I return again? Easy easy day. Especially considering that I play a lot of champs that farm easily like Morde or Viktor, and they similarly depend more on wards due to a lack of escapes. When I used to play LeBlanc a lot I didn't care as much but that's because LeBlanc in laning really does not give a fuck what with the jukes and the sheer damages early game.

The only time I hate it is when I play jungle. Because if the jungler is either warding alone, or with assistance from the support only, the map coverage is terrible. Not to mention the gold problems you inherently have as jungler.
