    Would this br broken game design?

    What if there was a chacter that built crit and high ad, but all of their damage is magical instead of physical?

    Corki

    Shit i thought corki did like 15 or 30% magic damage, didnt realize it was 80%.

    I didn't think you could queue ranked before level 30? The algorithm served me a team of two bronzes and a level 19 for my third promo game, which seems a little off.

    Supposedly yes.

    I did it in about 5 games with Anivia jungle in bot games. You can farm at the fountain for at least 70-80 take downs a game.

    How do I know when I completed it? I've been getting 60 takedowns a game with jungle yi.

    *edit* i have over 350 just with jungle yi games, and I played some karthus ai farm minion bot games.

    I got it pretty much exactly at 350 (think I ended with 352). My only question would be did you get enough cs% from jungle camps in the ai games? A friend had to play a few games past 350 and he thinks that was his issue.

    I wonder if I have too many minions killed as my games often have afk's so after I kill 2 people I usually kill the creeps, go to kill another lane, grab a buff, another double kill, ,etc.... Gonna play one more see what happens.

    Played a couple games with the new champ, she seems okay. Powerful in games where the chips fall her way, but I don't think I'd pick her with confidence into every situation. Her early clear is a bit rough and she doesn't have a lot of late game utility, so you're banking on leveraging her mobility for some successful early to mid game skirmishes and snowballing off that. She naturally wants to build damage but has no sustain or defense in her kit, so if you fall behind, she is absolutely worthless. And her voice lines make you want to disable audio.

    Honestly, I don't think she needs to really build a whole lot of damage? She hits like a goddamn truck naturally, and her Q has true damage on it. Building one (maybe a Rylia's for a slow or a spookymask) and then situationally tanky so she stays alive throwing around that % health damage from her passive seems a better bet.

    I think she wants Liandrys in basically every circumstance (obviously) and she very much wants some pen to go along with that. She doesn’t have all that much utility so if you invest too much in survivability, my guess is she suffers in a lot of pivotal teamfights where her carries get blown through and she doesn’t have either the burst to remove damage sources from the table or the ability to keep her own team alive.

    She’s definitely interesting and I want to experiment with her more, but I think her strengths are in areas that are least important at my elo.

    She just needs to be in the middle of things, getting true damage off, and surviving. Anything beyond that is gravy.

    “All I know is that I can’t wait to play Yone as a support for Yasuo like a bad person,” Riot Pls laughs.

    “The brothers bot lane!” Riot Earp interjects. “It’s so good!”

    “We’ll both be 0/10. Get ready,” says Riot Pls.

    Yeah, I was wrong. That said, this is all clearly Riot's plan to keep Yasuo from hitting 200% ban rate.

    This game really has the worst community of all time, man

    I have had a frustrating time of it in the past few days
    Teams with extremely weak mental (e.g. top spamming surrender starting at 15 when he and his enemy toplane are both 3/3/0, and game is even cs, even kills, and we have better comp+better scaling, and continuing to ff as he gets more and more ahead, and eventually losing the game as he refuses to group, continuously pings me when I die and presumably rages in chat but I muted him, etc) are becoming a bigger problem
    So until I de-tilt I’m playing flex as ahri and Vayne so I get dating game points :D
    Also my shop knows exactly what skins I want (blood moon Sivir and Jhin) but I refuse to give in.
    Relatedly if I were the devs I would ensure that the loot boxes were customized to have a slightly lower chance of giving you skins with a high ‘my shop’ rating, so people had a slightly higher chance of buying skins.

    this game is full of BABIES

    had a malz support refuse to go anywhere close to our ADC because at like 14 minutes they took the enemy bot tower and then ashe went to roam other lanes and malz got mad (?)

    so malz would wander off during teamfights and then die alone somewhere and never use his ult.

    luckily i managed to carry with Sett and we got some good 4 v 1s in their jungle and finally pushed to win.

    but jesus christ, this community sometimes

    I swear it's gotten worse
    My hypotheses are:
    1. pandemic/unemployment stress
    2. leveling accounts to 30 got easier so it is faster to get back into it when your account is banned (although buying a new account is also pretty easy and cheap I think)

    I queued a few games the night before last and each of them had a person who was so tilted that they had no business playing another game, they were practically spamming surrender votes before minions spawned. I'll never understand why people keep doing a thing that is not fun for them.

    @pyromaniac221 because free to play games are literally designed to hook people in and incentivize them to keep playing to grind out unlocks. The unfortunate side effect of this philosophy is that when someone's having a bad time, they're less likely to call it a night and come back another day. Instead they will probably attempt to hang in there and keep queuing for another round even as they get more and more tilted. This gets especially bad in games that have things to unlock that are part of a one-time event, where the deadline before something's 'gone forever' provides additional psychological pressure to keep playing.

    This doesn't explain to me how much of this behavior ends up in ranked though. Most of the unlocked stuff doesn't require climbing the ladder but I still run into tons of mids screaming in all-chat how bad their jungle before the game hits the 15 minute mark.

    I'm really enjoying Lillia, enough that I'll probably do my ranked as jungle/adc or adc/jungle now that I've got her and Kindred and like, Vi/Eve/Sej (if they really need a tank boo hiss).

    Mostly just struggling with playing her in actual teamfights. It feels like she immediately melts if she touches a team even when built semi tanky and lacks any proper dramatic initiation tools/big drama ults to prevent that.

    From what I've gotten so far the path is:

    Get early lead, buy jungle Echo, boots and Liandries (or Rylais if there's a bunch of melee you can kite) and then go full tank.

    It's mostly just that build path both prevents you doing enough damage to be an insta gib magic threat and also means you are tanky but can't initiate.

    And yeah that issue of "dear god someone else start the party" can be a big problem in a lot of drafts.

    Don't play her jungle. Play her top. She's much better there.

    Jungle she has no cc for ganks, no burst for ganks, no tankiness, no hard scaling threat, and can't duel most common jungles. She's a mediocre jungler. Garen is a better jungler.
