how'd all that jhin get in there this was supposed to be a midlane only smurf
but its purity of purpose was compromised at some point and it's at the exact same elo as my main ;_;
When does a smurf become not a smurf account
Anyway, yeah, this is kinda neat:
hah welll it's more of an alt account at this point
also @Roz (dunno if he's around here any more so I should probably just message in client) my alt account played against you in placements 2-3 days ago! I wanted to allchat and be like hi Rozz this is credeiki! but I thought it would be weird
it was a very one-sided game where only Rozz did anything at all for his team. All my lanes won handily ;_;
Nocturne still ended with positive kda though lol
i really really wish they would use their new aram tuning tools to fucking gut mandate w spam ashe. just give her insane cd increase, like, literally 200%. it's so fucking terrible to play, play against and it has a 53% winrate in aram which is honestly broken. just needs to be removed.

This is very funny considering Ashe is far and away the most nerfed champion in ARAM already; I have a friend that loves to play Ashe in the proper ADC manner and laments how that's impossible on ARAM with the nerfs saddled on her by W build. It's like -15% damage done, +15% damage taken, -20 ability haste—genuinely ridiculous numbers.
That doesn't stop her from continuing to be a menace of course (nor the second-most nerfed champ, Ziggs). Really don't think it's solvable by doing anything than going in and manually changing her W's cooldown in ARAM specifically; make it go from 14 to 8 seconds instead of 18 to 4 like it is now.
(Why is it an 18s cooldown at level one, anyway? What kind of scaling is taking 3.5s cd off per level? Wacky.)
Got my first auto-fill into jungle in a random normal draft, that was interesting but kind of fun?
I just picked Xin Zhao and spam ganked mid like 4 times in a row.
Then mid game came and we int'd everything away (wanted to gank top and then grab second herald, instead we died 2 vs 1 to an unexpectedly beefy Sett + fed him a 700 g shutdown), and I had no fucking idea what to do to get back into it and they snowballed and ran us down!
It was pretty fun though? Liked being the one to decide where to make plays early, and Xin Zhao is easy as hell to actually play so it let me focus a lot more on macro stuff.

Hahaha sweet well done. I think I remember being like "damn this karma is good". Our yasuo was having a rough game and getting flamed. I was trying to play emotional support animal to team that wasn't doing well mentally.
hm details of lillia’s buff are in, im curious to see how it turns out. i think the ap buff needs to be bigger than that to balance out the nerfs as her ap builds are so bad right now, but we’ll see
Speaking of Karma, I tried a Radiant Virtue/utility Karma build in a different game and it was pretty interesting and worked in this comp
Had to keep everyone alive during Nocturne/Twitch and then enable people to kite Mundo and chase down stragglers
tons of CDR, big shields. I sort of hoped that the radiant virtue would trigger every time I ulted but it's on about 1 min cooldown. So you actually have to be careful to not trigger it by poking with R+Q if you think you're going to want to activate it in the teamfight.
So I'm not totally sure if it's actually good, but I did like it for this particular weird team setup where I just needed to maximize shields rather than do damage.
RV is really good right now. It's broken on all the jungle tanks who can build it, but it's still good on anyone that wants to teamfight.

It's trickier on SR but if you're willing to get your roaming boots on 1000% take ingenious hunter on virtue Karma; cuts it down to I think 35s or so CD. And she's a super strong cheap shot user with Q so that's a secondary set.
Tank Karma was actually already one of my SR picks when I had to fill for our toplaner, so giving her a good tank item that also happens to be a strong support item is wild.
Virtue is also outrageous on Shyvana because it gives her *40* ability haste during ult. I think she's straight up the champ whose damage scales the hardest with AH, and it's when you ult that you want it most so it works out incredibly. Going either it into demonic or vice versa is putting up HUGE numbers right now, which is exactly what I predicted the moment I saw the preseason notes.

Guys I think new Asol might be a problem
(I got a third fuckin pentakill this year today!)
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
new asol is mega broken, especially in lower elos where we take longer to end.
he's already been hotfix nerfed once but it's not enough, he's going to be a balance nightmare most likely. if you win a teamfight against an asol after 20 minutes the asol player is probably inting lol.
someone at riot needs to explain to me why a gold queuing with master = better put them in gold games.
if your elo is way higher than the rest of your party i don't care your elo should be the matchmaking point, or at least weighted very hard. it legit ruined 2 games in a row because i'm getting buzzsawed by diamond/masters functionally smurfing in gold, it's just riot approved because their matchmaking system is insane.
like a riven with just black cleaver is literally 1v5 because it's a master riven and we can't do anything because the champ oneshots everyone on screen and full heals every half second when piloted by a master player against golds.

Thought you couldn't duo in ranked anymore? Did they walk that back?

In lower levels you can; Diamond has to be within 2 divisions (not tiers); beyond that it's solo only. A flat ban was never implemented--they just talked about it and then everyone complained.

They’re adding the ability to get mastery 6/7 tokens from ARAM finally. Thank god. I’ve wanted that for years!
Man, I sorted through all of today's news and missed that somehow.
(I don't care that much one way or another because I kinda hate ARAM, but I did always find it an inconsistency--if you're going to put S+ as an achievable grade it should probably mean something.)

it's very tiresome to play against. he's a champ that just can't be allowed in jg, and he's S tier at all elos. his ganks are too good, and his only weakness is that he's vulnerable to early invades except early invades are trash because riot removed them.
also make people stealing your camps while you're on them because they mental boomed since you didn't read their fucking minds or do the EXACT play they wanted you to do bannable
it's so fucking infuriating having to blow smite on my normal ass camps because otherwise the shen who mental boomed at 4 minutes or the orianna who mental boomed at 6 minutes has decided that they are going to troll me for the rest of the game.

how is riot gonna make a skin line called faerie court and lillia isn't in it
riot have mercy on me, a poor speed deer enjoyer. i already can't manage to win a game on her for a month and then you betray me like this?

The first corpse kill after you throw yourself into the initial engage.
Chasing half their team away after they kill you, while you team burns down the tower.
Ulting past everyone with a jaunty wave to go kill their almost dead base when they thought they were going to win because we wiped staggered and they just had to book it down lane, kill you and then just finish.
