    I thought it was hilarious at the time

    Watching IEM I saw an impressive Karthus who built tanky dps (RoA and Rylais) and would constantly run into teamfights and flash ontop of the enemy carry. It worked really well.

    well this was more of him being a bonehead, getting annihilated, then getting mad that I used my ult to get a kill back instead of dying with him

    not saying that doesnt work

    Man, I had a similar experience with a Garen a few days back too, I was around level 19. I was as nocturne, I'd harass sometimes but mostly farm for minions so I could get money and he'd 1v2 our lane opponents and tower dive and then go 'Nocturne, you're just standing there, help me asshole' or something like that. Meanwhile I was at the 35creep kill mark and he hadn't killed 5 yet. He was raging so hard that I wasn't tower diving with him every time, or that I would break off the chase of an enemy champion who was retreating but still at around 75% health.

    You were so boss you gained an extra level than the game limits.

    The thing about being snarky is that sometimes you look like a silly goose. He meant summoner level 19.

    Think he means the game logic, not the lore logic. I think it'd be rather annoying/confusing if on-next-hit spells were only sometimes blocked by spell shields. I thought that only AoE bypassed shields, so I'm lost.

    Some AOE does, and some doesn't. Like, first tick of GP ult will break spell shields, so does mummy, galio, blitz, morg, and panth ults. However, MF ult, make it rain, spirit fire, black pool, etc doesn't break spell shields.

    Generally, but not consistently (see make it rain), aoe effects that do not effect move do not burst spell shields.

    Anyone ever had that problem when you just... can't log in, and it keeps saying your user/pass combination is incorrect, but it isn't?

    But it only does this AFTER the queue tics down from 20 minutes to 0?

    .55 reduction to the ratio on Nid's heal.
    holy shit. I mean yeah, it needed a nerf - but down to .7?
    Not really sure what her role on a team would be anymore... she no longer has enough sustain to solo top effectively.

    the pounce change is intriguing, but stupid from a balance standpoint. basically all it means is that you need blue at all times even more than you already did. With blue you are even better at chasing/escaping than you were before -> without it Nid's kiting ability (which is her whole niche as a character) no longer exists at all.

    Also profile summary now has a drop down menu that lets you switch between stats for classic ranked and dominion ranked stats.

    Exact numbers haven't been confirmed but it looks like:

    1900 Platinum
    1519 Gold (I confirmed by looking up summoner profiles)
    1400 Silver
    1250 Bronze

    Summoners!

    Season One will conclude with our next scheduled downtime. We have some additional important updates for you!

    We wanted to let you know we're updating our Season One reward tiers to better represent and reward the competitive gamers in the community. We think the new structure provides more players with a chance to achieve higher tiered status without compromising the exclusivity of each rank.

    We made these adjustments based upon the percentage of our playerbase that we wanted to recognize at each tier.

    The new ladder reward tiers are:

    -Platinum (Top 0.2%) - 1900 and above (3v3: 1700+, pre-made 5v5: 1750+): a framed summoner icon in platinum, a platinum banner in summoner profile, a platinum forum badge and a special skin for Jarvan IV

    -Gold (Top 3%) - Between 1520 and 1899 (3v3: 1490-1699, pre-made 5v5: 1500-1749) : a framed summoner icon in gold, a gold banner in your summoner profile, a gold forum badge and a special skin for Jarvan IV

    -Silver (Top 10%) - Between 1400 and 1519 (3v3: 1410-1489, pre-made 5v5: 1410-1499) : a framed summoner icon in silver and a silver banner in your summoner profile

    -Bronze (Top 25%) - Between 1249 and 1399 (3v3: 1249-1409, pre-made 5v5: 1249-1409) : a bronze banner in your summoner profile


    As we enter Preseason Two, we will be performing a graduated reset of the League of Legends ladder based on player performance in Ladder Season One. The vast majority of players (97%) will have their Elo reset to between 1100 and 1300 rating, with top and bottom performers falling anywhere between 906 and 1490 rating. Ladder gains made during Preseason Two will carry over into Season Two once it begins.

    Season One will conclude with our next scheduled downtime, so be sure to work on that ladder rank quickly!

  • FeldornFeldorn Mediocre Registered User regular
    only reason i wish i'd done more ranked is for that jarvan skin. i'm only 125 ELO away from it too.

  • unintentionalunintentional smelly Registered User regular
    you have until next patch to grind up to 1520

  • Minerva_SCMinerva_SC Registered User regular
    I think I will try to grind to 1500. I haven't played a ranked game in like, a year, but I'm so amazing I'm sure I can carry myself, to 2200 even, in a week. god I'm so good.

    Cool, that makes me gold on the arranged ladder. And plat actually sounds kind of achievable now.

    The new score screen is really really nice. I think one of the most illuminating things is the combined KDA.

    Last game I played it was 26/17/61 to 17/26/22. I also played with a really great Skarner. I'm not really sure how he did it, but all people said about Skarner is true - his total damage dealt was through the roof at the end.

    Actually our team comp was pretty sick - Anivia Jarvan Skarner Teemo Lux. Teemo shrooms kept everyone out of danger, someone would land a stun/root/good wall, and whenever 3 people were close, Jarvan would thunderdome, I would shoot an iceball in and stun all 3, and then Lux would laser.

    Personally I'm kind of doing a new style on Anivia, getting a Soulstealer early and picking up assists to get stacks. I'm not exactly topping the kills board but my damage dealt is always very high.

    I really hope that not being able to see when a team mates ult is up is juts a bug and not a "feature". I don't know how knowing your team mates ult is up is redundant, when it was only shown in one place.

    So, this is what happens when you realize bot games just aren't cutting it anymore. Outside of 2 kills, me and Simpsons got the entirety of kills that match.

    Green dot on the corner of their portrait is the ult indicator

    Varega, I'm just surprised it took you this long to get to the point where bot games stopped cutting it.

    P.S. how to 51 kills in 23 minutes?

    I think siv is my best ranged AD carry. I don't even have any questions really--I mopped things quite nicely, went 12 and 1 in one of my first games with her in months.

    Now to find and murder someone with a code for her pax skin...

    I don't really get the point of playing a bot game and then talking about how good you are and how bad your allies were... it's not like it's that hard to kill bots
