    You know, it'd be pretty interesting to see a straight up sexualised male champ at some point, though I wouldn't put good odds on it ever happening. The closest thing at the moment is, what, Twisted Fate?

    it looks like the end of year sale is going to be a bunch of legacy skins that they retired because no one wanted to buy some lame recolors, because people think they are going to bring back holiday skins. oh well no need for me to spend money so I'll call that a perk

    Maybe Jayce or Varus as well? With the new splash, maybe even a bit of vladimir. But I think you're on the mark for TF as the king of the hill.

    arg the guides all go into anivia with 21 in offense. quints are all over the place, only thing consistent is MPen Reds and Mana Yellow. Seen MR flat and straight Blues, Mana Blues, Scaling AP Blues, MS Quints, Straight AP Quints.... Help me PA You're my only hope!

    I run 21/0/9, MPen reds, mana regen yellows, scaling AP blues, flat AP quints. Move speed quints would probably be the best on her, but whatever. It's not enough of a difference to make or break your laning phase. Just go with whatever you like best.

    My friend who plays a lot of Anivia uses 21/0/9, MS quints, MPen reds, Armor yellows, and MR(/lvl?) blues, FWIW.

    I've seen seen far more green ribbons than yellows. I've never seen a blue, though. I actually have more Teamwork points than Honorable Opponent, but I still have the red ribbon. Whatever, I guess.

    I was duoing with my brother in normal a couple days ago, and we got matched with a 3man premade. One of their guys called top and went with Xerath. I had wanted to play Kat mid, but went with Riven. Calling top instead. My brother highlighted Shyvana with his jungle summoners(smite/exhaust). One of the the other guys went with Ezrael. Then their last guy went Fiora. I was like, "support fiora, that doesn't seem like it will work."

    The game started and the fiora d/c'd. My brother not wanting bot to get dumped on, goes to support Ezrael until Fiora gets back. Fiora gets back, and goes top just in time for me to pick up my first kill against Darius. I kill Darius and their jungle a total of 5 times, then notice that the enemy adc is 6/0 and their mid is 8/0 with the standard "Lol, haven't played Xerath in awhile oh wellz" dismissing his feeding. I actually say in chat as the fed bot and mid start really applying the pressure, "I can't believe I manage to go 5-0 top, and also have to surrender at 20."

    My brother and I were so mad.
    Fiora Ezreal is a pretty murderous kill lane, actually.

    That's a pretty standard Lee Sin play, tbh.

    @Roz it's not the lee sin play, it's the orianna play with it.
    In the span of around a second and a half:
    -Lee Sin Safeguard
    -Lee Sin Sonic Wave
    -Orianna Protect
    -Lee Sin Resonating Strike
    -Orianna Dissonance
    -Orianna's ball returns to her
    -Lee Sin Dragon's Rage

    -Orianna Shockwave
    -Lee Sin Tempest

    The bolded part is the really remarkable part. If orianna's ball hadn't returned to her, then katarina might have been able to flash, shunpo, or both, to safety, before orianna's ball got within range to shockwave. Additionally, if Orianna hadn't used dissonance at the right time, it could have been wasted either after returning to her or before dragon's rage kicked her close enough.

    You're right. The Oriana play there is superb, Lee Sin's play was fairly standard.

  • unintentionalunintentional smelly Registered User regular
    i am willing to assume that orianna had no idea that that would happen

    In that Lee Sin + Orianna play, I feel like Orianna intended to use her ult once Lee Sin closed the distance. Instead, lee flashed over Kat and broke the ball's max range, returning the ball. Orianna was hitting R and the ult went off after the ball returned, but lee's R knocked Kat into the max range of the Ori ult and it all worked out in the end.

    This is also plausible.

    *edit* It looks like she starts the ult after Lee Sin makes the kick, which suggests she knew that the ball had returned to her. If that's the case, and it's not just dumb luck, then that's a pretty masterful play.

    There is also a delay now before being able to use the ult if the ball is sent back to you.

  • RiusRius Globex CEO Nobody ever says ItalyRegistered User regular
    That makes either scenario more plausible, heh. Either the ult was masterfully timed to snag Kat as she entered it's max range and before she recovered from Lee's kick, or Ori was spamming R to fire the ult and didn't notice the ball had returned because tunnelvision.

    Either way, it's a fun play to watch. Needs a Blitz hook at the end of it.

    I bet this changes at 30, but I'm really tired of seeing the same champs all the time. Low level normals are a morass of low RP and free champs for the week.

  • RiusRius Globex CEO Nobody ever says ItalyRegistered User regular
    Hmm... in my experience, at 30, most people play the "best" 3-4 champs per position.

    This. Whether this is an example of a master at work or a beautiful display of luck, it is still awesome.

    Well uhm... you like Ezreal right?

    Which is a sarcastic way of saying that the main thing that happens in 30 matches are that people play alot of the 'best' champs as viewed at that time.

  • SampsenSampsen Aggressive Berserker Registered User regular
    I just want Ezreal to go away. I don't consider him OP anymore, he's just annoying and I've seen too many in the past 3 months for it to be fun anymore.

    I witnessed a Darius versus Darius lane once.

    It was quite possibly the only time Darius had no desire whatsoever to rank his pull.

    This just makes me wish they'd put in cooler custom game stuff.

    Stuff like forced mirror mode, the ability to adjust players levels and gold or baron spawns etc. That'd be awesome (especially for practicing jungling).

    The best mirror matchup in the entire game is Karthus v Karthus, especially when it's free week.

    Now spectating Nasus vs Malphite top.

    Complete murder in all other lanes, 0-0 top, Malphite trying to poke but having his shield Q'd away by Nasus in return.

    Nasus currently at +360 Q damage. *makes some popcorn*

    Yep, Nasus went to +450 and said "OK, I'm done!" and then nuked towers, inhibitors and enemy team.

    Saw this posted on reddit, and the Orianna in the clip admitted she didn't know the ball had returned to her. Was trying to ult Kat while the ball was on Lee Sin, and it was just pure luck that he kicked her into where the ult was now going off. It looks like a perfectly orchestrated play, but in reality it was one of those oh shit I just ulted and the ball came back to me Orianna ults that happen and it just happened to be at the perfect moment. Ah well, there's almost always some luck involved in a play like that.

  • unintentionalunintentional smelly Registered User regular
    see it looked like an OH SHIT THAT WAS SO FORTUNATE play to me because i've played orianna like 100 games and have self-ulted in...a lot of them...

    I would watch the entirety of that match, at minimum, 10 or more times. It's like watching two infants try to wrestle by seeing who can roll into the other one harder.

  • SpectrumSpectrum Archer of Inferno Chaldea Rec RoomRegistered User regular
    What do you even do in that matchup if you're the inferior Karthus and can't land skittles?

    I would probably say fuck it, max Defile, and just Wall of Pain and walk in.

    Did you play top lane and max W? One of the silliest things in this game is getting 300 AP, showing up for a team fight at level 11 and murdering two people in under 2 seconds.
