    The korean challenger mechanics.

    Using ult as soon as she got it to dodge the Q. Then looking away from the Cassio ult. Then weaving AAs along with each spell. Then using ult to reposition perfectly to hit the true damage. Then using ult visual to mask the charm so it won't be flashed.

    Yep, checks out. These are things I'll never do on Ahri.

    there's nothing impressive about an ahri killing a cassiopeia post-6

    Wanted to try out new Fiora. Entered team builder and the enemy top was a Heimerdinger.

    Didn't really get to test much.

    Actually that kill was pretty impressive. Dodging the cass ult on animation is really tough

    It has less to do with dodging it and more to do with assuming it is coming. Since she already cast and auto attacked it's a natural precaution to just turn around while waiting for the next attack to be ready. No reason to willingly look danger in the eye when you have no reason to.

    there is absolutely zero reason not to assume that cass is going to try to ult you when you dash up next to her to kill her and there's still a second of your dash being on cooldown

    So QSS clears Fiora ult. Not that you would build it just for her, but it's nice to know you can say no when she challenges you to a grand duel.

    Darius vs Darius is the dumbest lane. It's like jousting with axes, or the most cowardly game of chicken.

    It's easy to have one catchy line but maybe they couldn't make a full song of it.

    I find it almost more likely that they know who is/isn't really stingy about going after copyright suits. These probably wouldn't pass a parody test (because its not parodying the song in question its parodying League) and so they don't use anyone who would actually sue.

    So the Veigar changes were apparently hilarious. .25 second reduction on his W drop and +AP on assists catapulted Veigar from a 50% win rate to a 54% win rate.

    I had a game the other day with him where I managed to get over 800 ap with three items. The AP on assists is huge.

    The AP on assists isn't all that much actually. Like 50-100 Ap end of the game maybe (10-20 assists)

    i'm pretty sure the quarter second off drop was also huge for landing dark matters

    Yes, i think its larger than the gold on assist. Well maybe/maybe not. Gold on assist smooths out viegars early game and provides a buffer if he gets wrecked, for coming back in. Its hard to assess how valuable that is. But the .25 second w boost is great.

    Poppy (big)
    Taric (big)
    Shen (medium)
    A bunch of small marksmen updates (like the juggernauts)

    There are others that we've talked about (yorick, akali etc) but those are still in earlier phases.

    Come oooon AP Ezreal made official Ezreal.

    How the fuck is Yorick still in the early phases of a rework? He's been out of the free rotation since 2012 because he needed a rework.

    I like him.

    I'm particularly fond of his passive, "Completely ruin another player's fun for twenty minutes".

    So if it is a juggernaut type update that means several or all the marksmen get updates with a set of new and reworked items in mind.

    Heeeeey how about we remove RNG crits and rework marksmen with a new set of items in mind? Come on Riot.

    Given that that is ashes thing now and if they did it it would actually make ashes passive a damage reduction (because you wouldn't do bonus damage the first hit unless you w'd them first) I don't think it will happen.

    It should, but it wont

    Several champions would have to have their passives reworked, sure. If they are doing a full pass on them they should do it right. Yasuo, Trynd, etc. are among the first to come to mind.

    There are a lot of them in progress, and we've mentioned a few already (MF/Quinn). Not sure if I should spoil the rest.

    There will be a bunch of them with like 1 skill or mechanic change (like the juggernauts) focused on making them more unique. Some marksmen, Lucian and Graves for example, have a ton of overlap in playstyle and strengths/weaknesses. We hope to fix those type of overlaps.

    On top of the characters getting "reworks" we are probably going to do a stat/scaling pass on nearly all of the marksmen to go with the updated marksmen items that are being worked on by the systems team.

    Let's just say given how juggernauts worked out I do not have high hopes. Just so many dumb/unfun mechanics coming in

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

  • GoumindongGoumindong Registered User regular
    I have decided that whenever I am forced to mid/top I will just play nunu so that the enemy top can feel as uncomfortable as I do.

    I walked into lane cloth 5 against a talon and he was just done right there. He ran out of pots at level 2 and backed. He got back only having more pots. He ran out of pots at level 3 and backed. I was 6 when he was 4. They tried to 4 man bot and I got a 4 man ult triple kill on the follow

    Regarding Valor and Quinn, a hopeful but non-informative answer:
    Talith wrote:
    This might be outside the scope of what you are working on, but now that we've seen The Kindred the whole Valor and Quinn tag-team just feels lame in comparison. Is there anyway to further emphasize the whole tag-team aspect instead of merely having a mobile landing platform for Valor?

    We're hoping to hit more of this, but it won't be in the way that Kindred does necessarily.
