I mean yeah, that's what I'm doing? I was asking to see if anyone else had thoughts on it
Theory seems sound. I do kinda wonder if Phase Rush is strong (though they did buff his passive movement speed so maybe it's less necessary), but I also wonder if you're underrated Overheal: that sounds like it might actually be solid on Morde depending on build? Could go green secondary for Shield Bash and Revitalize, though, still, and keep Conqueror. I imagine, though, there are certain match-ups where you'll struggle given that you have to auto to proc Grasp, but it sounds legit.
(Now I kinda want to run Moonstone Morde with Grasp and Overheal in secondary...)
Personally, I'm bad for theory-crafting because I rarely spam a single champion enough to try out different builds / approaches; even getting me to play the same role multiple times in a row is often untenable. I don't tryhard all that much as a rule, though I've actually shifted a bit into playing Sejuani more as a main just to pick up a first-win bonus.

I hadn't tried overheal myself, but a friend who did a lot of statistical analysis (mostly recording things in excel) said that overheal very quickly showed itself to do basically nothing in the average game; there's a lot of aspects that make it worse to the similar effect in bloodthirster (which makes sense, since one is attached to an expensive item and the other is a rune you start with), but the shorter duration and it not helping you get to max health where it has any effect make it a real uphill battle. I could give it a try myself and see though, yeah.
On a separate note, there's a site called Aram Academy that gives you some neat stats. Though these stats in particular should be tempered by me playing with a 3-5 stack 90% of the time, which means I can get heroes I like more often and probably win more than average.

Nothing is more satisfying than having the enemy ADC say "shut up bad swain" and then put on a fuckin clinic and do triple their damage

Yeah, a friend of mine linked me to her leaked kit (which I won't link because I don't 100% trust the site) and it looks...interesting? I don't understand some of the abilities as written, but that's pretty par for the course for riot.

Had a game against a masters vex (top) today. Our top was gold.
Enemy team had a 10k gold advantage at one point.
But I said “no, fuck you” and hard fuckin carried us to multiple barons, soul, and elder.
Enemy team surrender 4 to 1 after we had baron + elder.

Upon seeing this Bel'veth gameplay I now know I need to main this champion because of it's fucking amazing attack animation. I want to build all the attack speed in the world and lethal tempo so I can just chant "FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAPFLAPFLAPFLAP" like a drunk parent at a mighty ducks game.

I don't know if they were doing it to be meme-y, but all the clips I've seen make it look like people were doing basically exactly that. (One has her with GA and Shieldbow--maybe an AD / hybrid / on-hit champion design.)

More clips. If you look at the end she has another stabby animation so I'm not sure if flap attack is early levels and it ramps to stabs or what.

Guy A invites me along.
Guy B is his best friend and was invited too, and made time to show up.
Guy A plays on an amateur team.
The amateur team wanted to try out a masters level ADC during clash. So they wanted to kick Guy B
Guy B very, very clearly did not want to leave and thought he had earned a chance to try out (he’s apparently a sub on the team)
Team responds that you gotta be D2 to be main roster.
Guy B says he has gotten diamond1 multiple seasons on multiple accounts.
Team then kinda bulldozes over guy B to get him to say he’s fine with sitting out.
They kinda didn’t even acknowledge I was in the discord call at all until the end, when guy A mentions that he didn’t think I’d care (I mean, I don’t and wasn’t feeling great anyway, I was just excited to learn more by playing with good players).
Very big “your friend invited you over for dinner and you walk in on him loudly arguing with his wife about divorce” energy
EDIT: There was one thing that made it all kinda worth it. When everyone said "Who the hell is Munkus" Guy A said "He's my friend, he's basically a plat support."

In tangentially related news, we played a team where one of the players was 0-22 from Clash. Thankfully we did beat them.

only losers need the ego boost of winning, real winners win by sharing in the glory of other winners because their self-worth is unassailable keep the mental iron
There's a solid chance it's elsewhere, but Bel'Veth full abilities have been revealed. (I'll link Ross Boomsocks because I like him.)
Short text version: Infinite Attack Speed scaling based on taking down monsters and champions (but not levels) and has a few things in kit that mean likely jungle-locked.
I feel like I could read what her ultimate does a thousand times and still not remember everything.
Like with Aatrox, I'm just going to remember it as "steroid ultimate" and not try to remember what all it does.

Yeah she's pretty interesting overall. Her QWE all seem fun and I feel like the multidash gameplay will lead to some pretty feel good moments when you're able to just quad dash all over someone.

You can see the skin (Battle Boss/Arcade) here! I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Conceptually, I really like it, but there's something a bit off about it that's bugging me--maybe the color scheme? I think I don't love the pointer hand over the coral, too--that feels like it should be more of a "player" focused aid and not something a boss would have.

Theory seems sound. I do kinda wonder if Phase Rush is strong (though they did buff his passive movement speed so maybe it's less necessary), but I also wonder if you're underrated Overheal: that sounds like it might actually be solid on Morde depending on build? Could go green secondary for Shield Bash and Revitalize, though, still, and keep Conqueror.

I didn't realize Kai'sa had a cool Samus helmet thing. She should just look like that all the time.
Legit only thing I could think of when watching that
You can toggle it in-game with /toggle or /g. Some of her skins don't have a noticeable difference, but I hit it when I remember to.
If you want the story that happens immediately after the cinematic, it's up!
Her bio is also available.
