Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Plus they made his most damaging normal move even more damaging (wtf why).
He's cool to lane with and against, though. I don't disagree that his heals needed a nerf, but his damage has been changed in such a way that he can't really push a tower anymore. That's...Really rough. His passive nerfs are excessive.
Which is good because it's fine just the way it is.
His damage wasn't changed that much either, in fact for pushing purposes it's basically the same since I would hope you're not using his ult just for pushing.
Stats can be deceptive. I'll go over the ways each one can be flawed.
Kills -- A kill is an assist where you dealt the last point of damage. Nothing more.
Assists -- This can be a very important stat, certainly much more important than kills. That said, not all champions are particularly great at killing the shit out of people, or healing/buffing the people doing that. For example, Heimerdinger wrecks minions and towers -- and towers are the point of the game. Not kills.
Minions -- Some champions are just terrible at killing minions. Rammus generally will have godawful minion kills -- that doesn't make him a bad champion. You should focus on last-hitting when you can, but this as a stat mostly fluctuates with champion, and less so with what role you end up taking in the team makeup.
Destructions -- This is kills but with towers. Since there is no such thing as a tower assist, this is an even more deceptive stat. It's just who dealt the last point of damage to a tower.
One of the most retarded things pubbies do is judge someone's worth based entirely on their stats. There are so many interconnected variables in this game that it's impossible to levy a statistic that truly denotes 'skill'. Sometimes you just get fucked and your score is horrible through little fault of your own. Frankly, only an examination of the actual gameplay can reveal whether someone actually did poorly or not.
The stats in this game are really deceptive. I play a lot of Morgana, and although I usually get a lot of kills early, I have much more assists. I've gone 7/3/27 before and been much more proud of that than my 29/2/5 games with her. And with some good BS's I've kept pushes alive well past they're expiration date. There's a lot of champion killers, but I prefer the kill enablers.
Does anyone else have a problem with Tris? I'm fine with literally every other hero, although certain ones are extremely annoying (Jax, Twitch), but tris is just ridic.
And yet they continue to buff her...
Edit: SuperRuper is my in game name too, if you wanna get a game goin.
LoL Stream:
I was aggravated by the way you chased enemy team members into the jungle and then died in ambushes, repeatedly. I was also aggravated by the way you ulted yourself and not me (Ryze) or Jax, who were doing most of the damage in team fights, and were getting focused every team fight for that reason.
I wanted to write you this note to tell you that you hurt my feelings by doing these things, and ask you to avoid doing them again.
Sincerely,
Ferox, who has had a bad day already, thanks so much

Take it from Mr.Tower-Push Mundo; if you get a chance to kill an enemy or two and don't immediately use that breathing room to destroy a building if you can you are losing the game one silly 'I gotta b to heal' at a time.
Nobody could be expected to learn this game in 2 days. It's just not that kind of game. If you want to try to get better, watch videos/livestreams (Phreak's spotlights are decent and he always talks about more than just "I used this skill to kill that guy", and read guides for whoever you're playing. Also try new champions, even if just in a practice game. Knowing how the other champions work and what skills they have to kill you with helps a TON when you face them.

i understand sivir and ashe
but nidalee? far from boring
having 6 skills alone makes her not that boring
Hiding behind a wall and barely missing a bandage toss to initiate, then having to walk around in order to fight.
Also: Not being picked
LoL Stream:
his mystic shot was already really good without being 120% of your damage, i feel like this could push AD ez over the edge
sheen would make him stupid, trinity force doubly so (130%ly so?)
not to mention the fact that he must be a first blooding machine now
mystic shot with long sword as your first item takes CHUNKS out of level 1 champions
120% must make it take a chunk and a half
Sheen and Trinity Force both work from base damage, not adjusted damage. Not that the extra boost is bad, it just won't be THAT huge.
but his mystic shot still works with sheen and triforce, right? even if the math is a bit different than i thought?
Yeah I totally misread what was going on (well, had it relayed to me incorrectly, but that's pretty much the same thing). Note to self: Read the patch notes for yourself before you comment, people in ventrilo are dumb and cannot read.
I guess this mostly changes how he'll push towers with the team. I can see that. I still think the Ult nerf is really, really lame.
I would play Ashe but she's just so goddamn boring.
I don't remember if they ever changed it, but the way it worked with Gangplank is he casts Parrley -> Sheen procs -> Parrley impacts, taking Sheen's damage bonus and applying it to the shot, so it basically boosts Parrley straight up without needing a melee swing. I expect it would be the same for Ezreal -- you simply get the base damage boost listed applied to Mystic Shot.
There's the cooldown on Sheen, of course, so if it's still cooling it won't apply to your Mystic Shot (if you fired another spell first).
i had a good time when ez first came out and was free doing attack damage, SOTO and triforce etc. i was pretty OP, mystic shotting for 30%+ of the enemy's health while teleporting/ghosted chasing them down across the map
They disable matchmaking an hour before maintenance starts (maintenance starts at 4AM EST).
Hon/dota/lol are the hardest games ive ever played when it comes to learning curve. It takes aaaaaages bro. Just dont worry about, listen to what other people say (take insults as constructive criticisms) and look up guides in the blogosphere.
Well, at least now I have a reason to switch it up and give an AD build a shot.
DO NOT FRET SIR
PLAY AP CORKI AND DIE EVERY GAME LIKE ME 8D
Look on the bright side; at least you aren't new and using gimmick builds every game like me!

HMMMM.
So I open up Yahoo and read the first news title:
Fickle oil slick scatters its threats across Gulf
Except I read it:
Fiddle sticks scatters its threats across Gulf.

But that doesn't work for a melee character. I don't know which items to go for (like how much lifesteal emphasis), nor do I know when is a good time to attack creeps, or when to attack champs, or when/how to run away from champs if I'm likely using my CC ability just to get within range of hitting them.
It will probably take 100 or so games played before you really start to get the hang of everything and start participating in the meta game aspect of it.
Try and be patient with it.
Who're the free champs this week?
