Also for the sub-30 people saying this change ruined the game and you don't like having to play against Heimer or whatever, what exactly do you think everyone else has done from the time they started playing to S1 release a week or two ago?
Suck it up, ladies.
They all bitched at how OP'd Heimer is, all the time?
Seriously though; the roughest change from ranked to normal is the game mode. Give me banning draft in normal games and I wouldn't be complainin. Has there been any mention of this, or including any other game types for normal games?
Heroes of Newerth had a nifty game type where it gave you three random champions to choose from, each with a different primary stat and therefore function. Perhaps LoL could have the same thing, though with broader categories to lump heroes into.
Thornmail on Rammus/Shen is fine since you can taunt
It's better on Rammus since you stack it with Defensive Curl and do more damage
No, it's really not. If they are not auto-attack heavy, then they are not going to attack hard-enough or fast-enough to make Thornmail worth its cost. Rammus' Taunt lasts a grand total of 3 seconds. That's about 3 attacks, unless they've got AS items or abilities. So basically, we'll round up and say that they'll deal an entire attack to themselves as magic damage (30% reflect from Thornmail, plus like 150 from Ball Curl).
Compare that to Yi, who will probably get about 6 attacks in and severely damage himself. Enough that he probably either has to run away or risk dying. Which is exactly the kind of situation you want to put their DPS carries in.
EDIT: Also, I'm pretty sure it hits for pre-armor damage. Because otherwise, it would be near useless on Rammus when he's in Ball Curl, as he's taking maybe 100 damage a hit from extremely hard hits. That would be 30 damage back. That is definitely not what happens from my experience slaughtering various Yi and Tristana players in this fashion.
I'm getting a team to do ranked 5v5 and 3v3 pretty much everynight if we have takers. Anytime after 6pm PST (9pm EST) I should be up and around ready to rock. Just give me a whisper or a shakedown on steam if you're interested. Be ready for srs business.
Are you in the pennyarcade channel? I shouldn't be playing late at night, but I always seem to. Lots of times when I look at the people in the channel though it has all newer players (from like summoner level 6 to 16)
I typically don't hang out in the PA chat channel in LoL. Vent or Steam for me.

WHAT ELSE ARE YOU NOT TELLING ME!?

See, Cognisseur, I can be mean, despite my friendly appearance.
Did you guys see that there's a new hero preview up? Kind of annoying that they're already talking about new heroes when the previous one is still so broken.
He's a vampire with Sephiroth hair.
Of course, it was only yesterday (or was it two days ago? I forget) where I was saying that we needed a character like Magus for Team Chrono Trigger. Looks like this guy will fill that role quite nicely.
why can't they get it through their head that the passive that "gives x amount of stat number 1 for each point of stat number 2, gives y amount of stat number 2 for each point of stat number 1"
is almost guaranteed to be overpowered or way good (jax, kayle)
plus the rest of his abilities do a lot of shit at once, making them all very multifunctional and such
plus his itemization, just from looking at his abilities and such is hp + ap
Passive: Remember Jax before his nerfs?
Q: Spammable nuke that heals?
W: Fine, 15% hp. Probably the best escape spell you can get though. Great synergy with his ult
E: AoE damage AND heal? This one's cost is not by %...
R: % damage increase on enemy champions AND flat damage after 5 seconds AND it spreads? 15% is not enough

I wonder if it can spread back to a champ after getting hit for the 250.
re reading his ultimate I don't think the plague can spread outside of the "targeted area" It seems like it periodically spreads within that area I could be wrong though
Its a targeted AoE that inflicts units. Units spread it as long as they are in contact with others not afflicted. They can't be afflicted twice
How do you know they can't be reafflicted after the 5 seconds is up? Will there be a debuff on them saying they can be afflicted for a certain period of time?
First they steal WoW's design for their interface and now they steal Kael'thas.
I wish they stole the vampire blood mechanic I put up on a couple forums instead of just doing burn your own hp mechanic that they've already used before. I even posted it on one of the non-official forums run by a few of the developers.

Seems like he'll be fun though.
I'm assuming you suggested using blood similar to the way Morde uses his shield. Dealing damage / using a leech ability gains blood, using abilities loses it. That would have been much more interesting I think.

you don't have set categories like str/int/agi
i mean you could try and split stuff up, but there would always be some ambiguities

i get huge boners for DoTs that spread
killing people with Malzahar's E that stood near a different champion i killed with it erryday
Was just against a twitch that started 6-0 and went on to like 13-1 and ended 18-6 or so
When I was at 4-3 I bought an oracles (maybe 20 min in???) and finished at 11-3
Literally would just go
ult -> deathfire -> charge -> hammer over and over (throw in rest of team abilties throughout)
AP poppy is literally the anti-carry and I love it
poppy is there to hammer it into oblivion

looks to be balanced*
*in riot terms of the word
come come now do you see what some of his abilities cost? 15% health! thats not really something you are going to be spamming
Well look, everything about him is rather OP

Opponents: 4 super squishies and a Sion.
Guess who my team spends every fight focusing.
Then their Zilean gets his ultimate, and throws it on Sion every fight.
Guess who my team STILL spends every fight focusing.
Then the Sion gets a Guardian Angel, and Zilean can still ult him.
Guess who my team STILL spends every fight focusing.
PS: We lost.
Wordup
People who go out of their way to kill someone who has the Zilean ult on him.
Especially when I call it out on vent over and over.
Especially when they do it and get killed doing it.
edit.. also limeade is a fantastic drink. Superior to lemonade. I don't know why people are so into lemonade when you can just get limeade instead.
