Looking at the patch notes I"m kinda confused about the zac change. They're trying to make it easier for the enemy's to step on the blobs, whlie making them harder for zac to pick up. But unless I'm reading the notes wrong, where before the blobs could land 100 units away, where now if Im reading it right they now will land closer to zac, although he has a smaller range to pick them up. It almost sounds like they'll be more likely to land right next to you.

Moral of the story?
Fuck Udyr, especially fuck jungle Tiger Udyr, that shit is retarded and doesn't work. Only champ I have a reasonable number of games with and negative W/L
Shouldn't have needed the rubber match, but on my second game in promo, team insists on positioning poorly and wandering around the map solo against fed Kassadin. Starting 5/0 Nunu can't stop that, even when I buy multiple Oracle's because my support isn't.
No worse feeling in LoL than watching a trainwreck game while playing it. 12-3 at 20 minutes, headed for a 30 minute win, turns into a 59 minute loss after we get aced + enemy takes 1st of 3 barons > my team runs away from pretty much every engage. Enemy carries farm 75% of the map and go from 2 items to 6 =/

From Meddler "Can understand your concern, because of the way distance between Zac and his blobs is calculated though this isn't as big a hit as it appears on paper. Previously Zac would pick up a blob if the distance between his edge and the blob's edge was 100 units or less, now he'll pick up a blob if that distance is 25 units or less. The amount of space the blob itself occupies is unchanged however. As a result you need to get noticeably closer to the blobs but you certainly don't have to run over their exact center or anything extreme like that."
Ok I fail at the internets. And the guy that had uploaded game one and 2 of the OGN on youtube, has yet to do farther, and has had one video removed it seems. Can someoby spoil the result for me? Although I think I saw the way it was heading.
So I promo'd into Silver 4! I didn't skip a division after all, but I am still getting +30 per win and now I'm +60 into the league. Both of my wins have been in the bottom lane, once as MF and the 2nd time as support Janna. Both times I exploited opposing support going 20+ points into the utility tree. The supports were so squishy we just fed off them. The Janna game was especially fun because I picked her to counterpick a Kennen with much success. Our jungler was Cho and I stacked my knockups, so his stomp and then before enemy trist lands my tornado hits to knock her back up. Was HILARIOUS.
Also, I continue to believe best way to support is by killing shit: @Junlea cause I was all "What would Jun do?"
Edit: I know 16-15 isn't anything special, but I ended placements at 3-7... It's 100% possible to climb dudes

Throwing a long game is so frustrating I usually just have to take a break for a little while.
I did something I almost never do; I threw good money after bad. Queued into another game, played Jungle Naut, went 0/0/6 in 20:15 and the enemy team surrendered after we aced them under middle bot tower.
Ugh. Tonight I have had the worst teams I have seen in a long time. And not like just bad players, there were plenty of those, but just horrible people. Bitching constantly, being assholes, it was so terrible. Down to 0 LP and I'll get demoted I'm sure if I lose again. It's so frustrating.

The Kha'zix in the game I posted above first blooded Lee, then got dumped on in lane, it was kind of amazing. Started being toxic, MF complained a bit that it was during her promo, Kha'zix started threatening to straight feed. Had to try really hard to get everyone positive again.
Following the nerfs to Blade of the Ruined King, we wanted to create more tools to help bruisers stick to their targets. Ultimately we focused on in-skirmish mobility as a valuable and healthy stat for all champions.
I strongly disagree that a mediocre MS buff allows a bruiser to stick to a target better than the icy proc. All they have to do is hit you with a slow and the buff is gone (and so is your Phantom Dancer equipped target, in all likelyhood).
Feels like it's going to be a significant nerf to Triforce.
I agree the RNG was BS, but I was hoping for just a whole hog Icy proc. Like you said, Triforce isn't exactly in a great place right now.
The reasoning they gave for the change is just nonsense. Old Triforce, random as it is, still does a better job of sticking to a target. Icy proc on Caitlyn before she nets (unless she nets through a wall)? She's dead. MS proc? She gets away, handily. Icy proc on Miss Fortune before she Makes It Rain? She's dead. MS proc? She gets away unless you have a dash off cooldown and either her flash is down or you can follow her flash with yours.
If it's just a nerf, fine, whatever I guess - but they shouldn't pretend it's a buff.
So I'm about to play Maoki in an ARAM. Which got me thinking about the SV on him. Its a buff to him as well as he'd like to build it. Has anybody tried it much lately?
Maoki pretty beast in ARAM building tanky ap. I got so many kills early thanks to my passive/chalice+ruby crystal start. went tanky AP with ROA/Lyandries SV/FF/ Mag pen boots/ holy grail (not in that order)

So amazing that two people on the enemy team gave me teamwork honors. Don't come at me with any of your logic and what probably happened shenanigans let me make believe.
I just played zac top lane for the first time, as somebody else took jungle and nobody called. Wow. Maybe (oddone? Bigfat? one of the big junglers) is right. They don't like his as jungle case he's an amazing top. Now they had a fucked up team comp, but that was like singed, but without the worry for mana, and a way better passive.
I'm going to stick to jungle, but I might try to get jungle top after that before automatically defaulting to support most times.
edit also no clue how much lp i got, but back up to bronze one. I think I'll hit silve this time, and think I could make it through to gold as long as I keep playing smart. (IE like earlier. Really shitty mood began right as I fired up the client. some shit external happened. So I played 3 or 4 arams, got lucky and got fun champs, and calmed down) Thats a big thing for me. Don't play ranked when 1)in a shitty mood 2) really drunk
Big elo swings. Well, that and jungle has helped. As tip # 1 is buy wards, and as I usually jungle zac and take nice lane tax, I can buy wards for the map. Wards OP.
edit, also, I didn't have a page prepared for runes on top zac I liked. So I think I took Mpen red, HP level Yellow, AP lvl blue, and 1 or 2 HP quint with 1 or 2 AP quint. (its an AP and HP page I made for vlad lol) and went 9/21/0. I got first blood and got an early haunting guise, and I must say, having some AP behind Zac was quite fun.
Edit
WTF ranked disabled. 2 patches in the same week. And both on nights I had/have time to play. I just missed que time by a minute or so too cause I saw no warning. That sucks edit 2, all because I wanted to have a smoke and relax before being up for my promo.
ARAM makes me wonder sometimes. Without fail, I'll be on the team with a skarner/udyr/Nasus/Morgana/Kha'zix or something. The other team will pretty much always have Ashe and Lux. Then just insert random Veigar/Zyra/Nami/Sona/Soraka/Kayle/Yi/Heimer/Nidalee combinations in afterwards.
Five games straight I've been stuck as a melee ranged person against god-tier poke teams. It just makes me sad.
Also Leona is still amazing and I really want that pool skin for her and Renekton.
For everyone that plays top lane, something I just saw in the qualifiers in LCS that I do, and maybe you do, but I've never really thought about the importance. I'll often ward blue if say I'm purple top. And at respwan tim around 7 minutes, I'll often try to take it if I know where the jungler is, or just be a pain in the ass if I have lane control like I hope to and often do. Even if you don't take it, if you can force the jungle to smite and not give it to your mid, thats often a huge gain for your mid lane. One of those things you can do to carry and help other lanes. I've often done this, but just cause I could, not really thinking about what it did until the announcers mentioned it.
edit also watching this game, I think I should maybe consider ignite more as a support. Especially when I get thresh, as I'm in brozne, and it's probably more useful early than exhaust. Not sure
Ya i"m going to bump this up. all you lulu fans? go to twitch. Ad lulu mid coming up in the world qualifier wild card thingy tourny (should be lulu mid even if its ap. )
Oh, gonna be nice to see mid lulu played in a semi pro game.
And it really is hilariously onesided. This shows rather clearly why you don't pick trynd in a serious game :P. They are misplaying it badly, but he is so easy to shut down early.

You'd think it'd be a case of not picking Ad lulu. but, besides that stupid /l by tower, lulu has been fine, and the only person good on the team. Trynd has single handely lost this game. Like, i have no clue WTF he has been thinking since 1:21 lol.
Edit I'm bronze 2 and he's seriously done a lot of stuff I find questionable. That first face check.....
Edit 2 I'm not trying to say better than him, cause obviously I'm not. But nerves, or whatever, he made some really dumb plays that cost host team the game, starting at 1:20. I assume they lost, I am now in bed watching futurama to fall asleep
@Roz so, have you played much Nautilus? What are the operational differences between Naut and Sej, in your opinion? I love the Big Daddy but I could always use some variety in my tanky initiator jungler lineup.
In the chat room there should be an option you can set that automatically opens the room when you log in. It is the same spot where you can enable time stamps.
Apparently Riot collaborated with the Crystal Method, that group I only know for doing the re-mix in Shootmania's trailer, for Lucian's theme music. It's pretty fantastic stuff but kinda just highlights how under used music is in League when they've got so much talent going into each intro song to only ever be used as a log-in screen.
BIg thanks to 2sang, Varega, Cass and Fancy Lad for the game last night.
Cass has shown me the light of toplane Shyvana. She went up against knifekitty and was a total boss the entire time. 2sang does not miss blitzcrank pulls O_O. Also don't fight sej in small enclosed spaces even if your team is ahead.
Still waiting for them to implement Killing Spree re-mixes ala Awesomenauts.
Or play the track on Champion select.
Or do anything with this great little collection of music they have.
I gave Awesomenauts a spin a while back, and while I didn't enjoy it that much I loved just how different the game felt when you were playing as each character. Turns out that mixing up the music a bit can change the feeling of a game pretty substantially!

Triforce Icy being changed to MS buff is

Feels like it's going to be a significant nerf to Triforce.
The RNG on Phage was pretty bullshit anyway.
Procs twice in a row on two consecutive Parrrleys! Doesn't proc after 5 melee attacks in a prolonged fight!
That's why they removed dodge. Crit is still there, but eh.
The reasoning they gave for the change is just nonsense. Old Triforce, random as it is, still does a better job of sticking to a target.

You'll pry crit out of my cold dead hands.
Of which my right one is a lot stronger then my left one.

Draven killing sprees.
DRAAVEN DRAAVEN DRAAVEN, just building up half way through a teamfight on the first kill, then as the last enemy dies it kicks into full volume.
Like seriously Riot. Do eet.
In general they really should get some new, more crazy announcers.
