I don't like Riot nerfing the health-pot start, it enabled a lot of champions with terrible matchups to survive. They gave up useful stats for sustain, and if for any reason it didn't work out, they were really far behind. It bugs me that Riot is trying to limit starting builds. Next we will only be able to buy Dorans items for the first 3 minutes of the game.

I'm fine with it because the absurd number of potion starts was silly. If you need more than 5 potions to survive then you should probably adjust your build. It was too much sustain too early. 5 is plenty and all it really does it force you to go back to replenish them if you are blowing through them all.

It was limiting how much "bang" you were getting for expending mana.
I wish I could get mid in ranked so i could do more stuff like this. Note that MF left lane 0/4/2. I went bot every time i cleared a wave and would kill Draven so she could farm safely.
Things to note about this game. I wasn't farming creeps. I was farming champions. The lane phase ended really early and I let MF have a lot of the waves so she could get back into the game. I also gave her 3-4 kills as well. I am a team player.
i need to figure out why there is such a huge disparity in my games.
for real tho emotional rollercoaster
or should i say lollercoaster
Well it appears to be happening with increasing frequency. May I suggest quit getting mad at video games?
But seriously, looks like you deathspiral. Get disappointed in performance and then get sloppy.
Alternatively you are approaching your true elo and as such you will have an even frequency of good and bad games, wins and losses.
Either way the solution is the same. Stay calm, have fun, hone your ability to herd cats
You know oddly enough i'm not very upset about it at all. Disappointed yeah. But at this point it has become such a mystery to me that it's no longer upsetting. I think I lost 4 or 5 games in a row before the recent one I posted.
Actually now that I think about it maybe the opposite thing is happening. Whenever I have my promotion matches or start doing consistently well I just freak the fuck out and get sloppy. Whenever i'm not doing so hot I just /ignore all and stop caring then get good results.
But yeah. Not mad. Confused sure. But never really mad at this game.

They also messed around with Doran's which pushed everyone to pots and boots, and then they threw a tantrum about everyone taking boots, so they made it so you could go pots and whatever on purpose, now because they still have no idea what the hell they're doing, now pots is the ultimate sin against all creation. How about no one start with any items at all, since every time someone finds a good start that absolutely anyone can choose to take, but some people opt not to, their only answer is to drive it into the ground.

5 health pots should be more then enough to survive against bad match ups. I understand why they're doing it. It seems silly to have that much sustain early on. especially on snowball champions with energy like akali, she should be able to be punished for her early weaknesses.

If I have 9 pots and any sort of ranged farming ability, there's no way to stop me in lane, outside of being on my side of my ranged creeps to zone me, exposing you to ganks. There's just no real counterplay. Its like a soraka lane. Hit me and watch the damage disappear.

It's good to see you are taking your usual unbiased analysis of a change being made and looking at it objectively without jumping to conclusions fueled by conspiracy theories before trying it out or seeing how it actually impacts the game.

Not fucked per se, but you will have to adapt. It's a pretty simple flowchart: if the opposing team will every teamfight, then your team simply has to recognize that they can't teamfight. They need to focus on catching someone away from the team, on splitpushing, on ways to win the game that aren't teamfighting.
Of course, most teams are not organized enough to do that. Oh well! Shit happens, sometimes the other team simply has better players than your team. Move on!

My point is that their reasoning is schizophrenic at best. They'll go back to reducing the cost of Doran's down the line you can take one and a pot or two and we will have come full circle. Also, there's things like nerfing Lux's movespeed. They buffed the movespeed of -everyone- to dissuade people from going boots and pots. I just checked and before that her movespeed was exactly the same. They buffed everyone the same amount, so she's not faster than any of the champions that were already faster than her anyway. It wasn't an issue for -years-, now all of the sudden people are having fun and winning, and we can't have that.
The only thing I'm taking away from this is that I shouldn't play anyone I enjoyed playing that is doing well at LCS. As before, instead of giving people time to develop counters and strategies, they just hand out nerfs needed or not.

On another note, Karma still doesn't feel right.
The fact that you actually think they nerf things based on people having fun absolutely blows my mind. OR the idea that you think they make any changes whatsoever based on malice. I'm hoping you are just exaggerating here because otherwise it must be a truly fascinating view of the world from inside your head.

So if your mid feeds Kat, and your team has no snare or stun, you're just fucked, right?
Pick off kat or just murder her face instantly is your best option. Asymmetric warfare. Vision is king. Murder them from bushes when they feel safe. Push all the lanes then dive them when they split up. Tons of options

All champions are now manaless. Buffs!
i am sensing a trend in my play style.
dont worry this change wont happen for like 2 years minimum.
i believe in you
equip swagface
its hapened
nah the TT and Dom changes
oh no another one
six and oh nooooo
What do we reckon, Kassadin getting beaten to death with a nerf bat?
swag mode activated. i am so god damn inconsistent with this game. I just do not understand.
without context it may be one of the most incomprehensible screenshots ever
perhaps some strange mutation of myspace in an odd permutation of our universe where time compressed and trends found some implausible conjunction.

in the 1000s of combinations of champions, there was no CC on your team? WHO WAS IN YOUR GAME!
all nidalee javelins with an ult that makes them split when they hit people like a javazons lightning fury
yesss
Well top lane sure is going to be fun now (not)
