    Have to say I much prefer Brightwing's more sadistic/self aware take on being insufferably cutesy.

    fwiw, I've been really enjoying Shyvana lately

    solid bruiser, solid ganker, moves around the map quickly, fast at clearing jungles and big waves

    With Illaoi finally getting a skin she's probably finally going to get a balance pass too a patch or two later because of how not fun it can be to play against one.

    I think Illoai is in soft re-work territory considering she's an exceptional bully but then loses almost any game because her kit does nothing if you don't choose to fight her.

  • JookieJookie Registered User regular
    Eh tentacle on enemy tank is never a bad thing. Transfers a sizable amount of damage to it. She's about as threatening as Orianna in the jungle and it's really rate that there's a win condition of don't fight and your team can actually capitalise on it. Solo queue 100% gonna solo queue.

    oh god everything about that new champion irritates the shit out of me
    did I just walk into an offbrand cartoon designed to sell toys to 9 year old girls
    I mean that said the classic tween girl aesthetic is not reflected in Riot's champion pool, really, so it would be nice to have a champion that young girls could in relate to or something

    but I pretty much hate that aesthetic (fortunately there are 130 or so other champions to play)

    Checking out her announcer pack after hearing how great it was in HotS was quite the experience. Figured it was going to be standard cutesy stuff based off of the voice (Prepare for combat, friends!) but then hearing her remark about a corpse making for good eat and yeah I wasn't expecting that.

    Edit - after checking out the trailer finally I will say, the animations in general are pretty good and compared to a lot of other champs the facial animations are amazing. They end up looking completely devoid of life since they don't exist on most of them, she actually has some.

    This isn't exactly true, but I really miss the old Rek'sai. Tankier is my thing, and I was crushing people on her before the rework.

    Get kited to oblivion.

    Udyr is just 7 year old design. They would never release a champ like him today.

    At one point in time I was also a Singed main. I'm an okay Garen even if I rarely play him.

    Look I just really like running at people. Don't take that from me.

    It'd be interesting if they added some kinda CC immunity item that stacked in effectiveness the more you're CC'd in a period but reset if you dashed or flashed. Be a nice soft buff to all the people left behind by the League of Mobility.

    Worlds finals
    Super fun to watch. I was rooting for SSG cause I was done watching SKT win. SSG was super smart about their picks--when stuff worked for them, they kept using it. SKT tried to figure out how to beat their style but failed. I appreciate the ballsiness or trying Yasuo. The teamfights were pretty fun, especially the second game with Ambition J4. SSG played really solidly and I'm glad they won!

    I'm super excited to see what kind of Worlds skins that will come as a result of this. I assume Malz is one, maybe Gnar, and Sej(since J4 and Zac already have WC skins).

    I'm really sad that SKT lost just because game 2 had me dreaming of a Yasuo skin.

    Few things are as satisfying as seeing an enemy's win objective and comp like a book when you're last pick jg and countering it so damn hard.

    Hi. You guys are a stupidly agro dive comp with a split pushing Trynd.
    /locks in Jungle Taric.
    /proceeds to save teammates from dive/burst
    /proceeds to easily 1v1 Trynd later and stop his split push dead in it's tracks as he can do absolutely nothing to me.

    My husband and I discussed this for a long time yesterday
    Like did Faker go home and get wasted and have a good cry and is ready to get back to winning
    Or now will he never be the same and his performance will slowly decline after his spirit is broken

    Somehow the scenario evolved to the year 2050 where a young aspiring midlaner meets an old hobo who is actually Faker who teaches him ancient midlane strats
    who even plays Cassiopeia mid in the year 2050, they wonder
    and then in the world finals the young midlaner has an unexpected family obligation and 70 year old Faker triumphs on the worlds stage with his season 7 strats and redeems himself
    ...
    ...
    um yeah I don't even know, it was so sad to see him so sad even though I was rooting hard against SKT

    Either the rest of the world caught up or he really bought into his own hype and stopped improving, because this year he wasn't anything special. I feel like this is his downslide.
