    Riot has stated they're getting rid of it. mind you, they've said this before a few months ago and nothing was done, so take that for what it's worth.

    Why get rid of it? It seems like such a key part to how this game is played.

    i'd prefer it if one of two things happened

    a few second cooldown happened on it whenever you were hit, or they put it on an item so people had to pay some kind of price for such a good ability

    That's the exact issue, I think. They don't want a summoner spell defining the game, they want the champs to. A lot of people consider it to be too much of a "get out of jail free" card right now, especially with flashing over walls.

    I personally don't run it because I'm not very good with it and usually find ghost + something else to be more useful over all.

    Maybe they could just remove the flashing over walls? That seems like a better idea to me.

    i'd be more interested in them making flash not pop projectiles

    none of the characters who have built in blinks are able to make projectiles disappear with their blinks, but flash does

    don't see why they can't make flash not do it

    That's what pisses me off about flash too. When a champion tower dives you and gets away with it because flash cancels out tower projectiles, or Taric stuns, or both in one flash.

    are you able to blow up lucent singularity while casting geno beam?

    i'm always afraid i'll interrupt it and by the time i finish using my laser they are out of the aoe :(

    that is one thing i need to get down about lux, timing lucent singularity so that i maximize the time they are slowed but still hurt them with it just before they get out of it

    He was literally ZOOMING on the minimap after the revive. It was absurd. Like the minimap couldn't even update fast enough at one point so he was just blipping through their jungle.

    man, we got rolled so bad

    i usually play a competent ashe in mid but i was against a swain who made me feel like a doofus. he killed me once p. early, then again, then came back with better items and a level disparity, then even with me playing conservatively around the tower he'd simply charge in and ult and kill me

    i guess maybe i should have conceded the tower and been zoned out and allowed myself to get out-leveled? at least i wouldn't have fed him

    he finished like 13/0/8

    it was demoralizing, i don't even want to play again today

    I've been playing Malphite recently as he's the first character I bought. He's in now way a killing machine, and has to have some form of high dps support to do anything unless the opponent is brain dead. But his ultimate is so ridiculous that it all makes up for it. Oh hay, how would your team like to be popped in the air, and those around me get more damage and a 40% attack speed reduction, while I add a bunch of armor and damage to my melee attacks and slow someone.

    Usually the range dps now has a melee next to them and freak out and run or target me, and my teams dps is left unhindered and go crazy.

    It's super long cooldown is a bummer until late game when I get something to lower it, which is pretty much frozen brain since not much else armor wise lowers cool down.

    I will say that Teemo is a total cock to fight against as a tank. There's no way to tank his poison and early game he'll eat me alive because even if I hit him with my slow, he'll still escape with minimal damage. Only time I can kill him is with help and ultimate.

    Also, I'm getting close to 3k IP and want to get a ranged caster, any suggestions? I prefer non-skill shot stuff, I'm terrible with skill shots.

    notice that our katarina is the xin zhao from the game that spectrum posted with the zeal stacking last page, lol

    she was probably the DIVIEST katarina i've EVER seen

    she was like 6-5 in the early game from diving for kills and getting bad shunpos that put her just behind people and in tower range

    then out of nowhere i got mega fed and NONE OF THEM bought magic resistance and i was 3 shotting people, especially warwick and kennen

    the best was when i teleported in behind their push, killed the SHIT out of kennen, and immediately used zhonya's while my team got on top of them all

    i was legendary and 16-3 til the end when i got a little smartcast-happy and while smartcast riftwalking away i hovered over lux's portrait, causing me to teleport towards lux, who was behind me in the lane while i was running away in river... and i riftwalked on top of tryndamere while i had 100 health

    Completely changing subject, I gave Sion more love these days, and I need a bit of help building him correctly. So far the only thing I'm sure is to get Sheen->Lichbane, but other than that? I guess Zhonya is cool but unlike Morg I'm not seeing much utility for the active on Sion.

    4 blades on Tristana because we killed her twice during laning, then I had advance wards in their jungle, so I was able to stick around near their second tower solo (ie way the hell past river) without fear of being ganked and kept her and Teemo still harassed while they were trying to farm/push back the lane.

    I had a game like that yesterday or the day before. I usually play Mordekaiser really well but I was top lane, forgot who I was with or who I was facing but I got rolled that game. I average 2 deaths or less each game as Kaiser and I went 1/8 this game. I felt so embarrassed since I usually take a bit of pride in how well I roll with Kaiser. Second game I used Garen, didn't do too well, 2/3 at the end of the game. Was disappointed in myself.

    Ya'll should try out Sunfire eve on an alt account, though. Not because it's fun, or because it's easy, but because they will undoubtedly accuse you of cheating because they don't understand how stealth and Sunfire capes work.
