There was quite a bit yea, a lot of it was due to full-retard balancing of the new/reworked items (BotRK, Black Cleaver, Elder Lizard). This is a pretty big change compared to that. That's why there's at LEAST 4 weeks of "preseason", a.k.a. beta testing, for all this shit.

Most of the support changes definitely feel like a huge miss as far as competitiveness goes. But then you have Nami who got some pretty solid boosts. If Janna, Taric, etc. don't see their numbers go up they're just going to stay on the bench forever though. Taric moreso than he was even. Edit...

It mostly just amused me to have people question why a Silver I (me) was in their Plat IV promo :P My MMR has somewhat normalized as I gained ranks but still a little scary sometimes. I lean towards having this information just available to all the players all the time, but there's no chance of...

I think there was some of this in FO2. I seem to remember squads of either Brotherhood or the other dudes showing up in my random encounters out for my blood, depending what I had been doing that game. Baldur's Gate did this too I think if you were evil? Outside the stupid town guard thing I...

They had a functioning replay system on the PBE forever ago, that they removed because of reasons. It popped back up again with the 3.14 patch on there now, months later. Again, this is almost surely due to engine/platform/code issues. More than likely, how to not implode old replays every time...

Yea, the problem is the limitations it has. They could build a webpage with more features and power at this point, it's just dumb to stick with that client if they plan on staying with LoL over the next 3 years too. Yes, migrating to a new platform is hard. Designing it is hard. But when you see...

Yea pretty much

Lucian is at or nearly at 100% pick/ban in OGN the past week/two weeks and has a higher win rate than the other 100% champs so there's that. Maybe once teams get used to playing against him. His build varies a bit but usually very heavy on the AD/ARP items and light on the IAS/Crit items, much...

I think that's half the problem with Riot's productivity, they are fighting against basically a pile of ghetto indie code with hordes of people. They are doing a lot with what they have but wasting tons of money in the long run not starting a better engineered engine/base from scratch. I...

Hey, don't dis AD Lulu, I'm like 6/0 with her :P She is her own best peel, it's hilarious when a bruiser tries to get on you. Slowed! Polymorphed! Ult myself! Slow again! Meanwhile you're just shooting away. It's dumb but there's worse ADC champs out there~

I didn't even think about getting to play WW jungle again in Season 4. That'll bring me up to a solid 2 jungle champs :P

For jungle Nasus, Meteos is the go-to master of that as far as I can tell. It's not even about sure ganks, it's about pressure. Meteos rarely sits in a bush waiting for the opportune time, if he walks to a lane he goes into the lane and pushes buttons until the enemy is dead or they take a tower...

Quinn and Urgot arguably have a cost/benefit to their ults (although Urgot's is basically a glorified WW ult anyway), but they are also sub-par and Quinn is the only one where you actually lose anything (range)

They are doing a soft reset when Season 4 starts. Preseason 4 is not season 4. This is all in their news post splashed all across everything, and reddit, and here, etc. Everyone will start at 1200 ELO + their current ELO (that is, the current ELO when preseason 4 goes into real season 4) divided...

Or you could go even further and write a movie entirely out of one-liners, like The Last Boy Scout. It's pretty remarkable.

Yea that Ahri skin is all but another Surprise Party Fiddlesticks, it's basically a community skin. There's tons of community skin ideas I would have preferred but that one has been pressured since like beginning of Season 2. Pool Party had way faster turn aroundReally I just want more...

lol yea, I own all those games :l At least I've also played/beaten almost all of them too, so I don't feel so bad.

I think the gifting being bugged is the main reason the store is down.

He has some pretty high damage potential, but you can't pick him vs. any team that can make his turrets meaningless, which is... a lot. People are focused on his R-W nuke but his R-Q does terrifying amounts of damage 1v1 if it doesn't explode instantly. The Zed changes are meh. Makes him...

So every time someone in the game or after the game says "X is carrying us/you" you just say they're using the word wrong, instead of accepting other people use the word differently than you? Wave clearing is not carrying. Sona with items can kill a tower or Nexus as fast or faster than TF...

The typical use of carry by what I have seen in game and on the forums is a person exerting a significant influence on the outcome of the game, way more than the other players on their team. That is "carrying". That's why Diamond I players can "carry" their way out of bronze on any champ in any...

The argument is your definition of carry, which is different than everyone else's. That's why. Just to be clear, there is NO champ that can 1v5 a game to victory. Not one. Every person in a 5 person team, regardless of champ, is changing the game in some way. Supports and junglers are getting...

If your only definition of "carry" is doing the most dps 1v1 in the shortest time span, then yes, supports will not be doing that. That is not really what carrying is, though.

I'd be down for duoing with any high gold/low plat or above players that want to - according to lolnexus that's all I'm fighting despite being in gold v and I feel like doing it solo is slowing me down :P

I think he means from the purple team side, playing "down" the map. The overall UI and the Minimap are actually two different sliders in options, so yea you can set them separately. I make my general UI pretty tiny because all I really need to see is the map and if my abilities are off cooldown...

I was playing on my level 10 smurf the other day and both teams had junglers in all but 1 game. Getting through the jungle mobs can be pretty easy this season :P

Nasus is probably a fine lower level jungler. He levels up Spirit Fire first in the jungle for clearing and objective taking, has built-in lifesteal, is beefy and builds beefy, and stays relevant all game.

The tier-1 junglers become more impactful the higher skill level your games are. Below Plat and gold probably, you can do crazy carrying with tons of shitty junglers. Carry junglers are feast or famine obviously but you just need to be able to pick which lane will get you a kill early as a carry...

Could the whole uniform/freedom themes from the trailer play into a movie version of the civil war? Without mutants and spidey it would be quite different from the comics, but I think it would have to be different regardless.

The problem with Jinx's W is the higher skill level you get, the less it matters how good you are with it, it just matters how good your enemy is at dodging it. It's REALLY easy to dodge during the laning phase, to the point where I think I've been hit twice(?) in all the games I've been against...

Yea. I've mentioned before, but for my gold 5 promo series (both times) I was matched against mostly low plat/high gold people. I think that happened pretty much since halfway through my placements. It throws off people using lolnexus :P I think I won a lane just because the guy was like "lol a...

They do seem pretty rare, I think it took me 6 worlds to find one, but living tree is not exclusive with them, this is my latest world where I finally found them:

I prefer the KB/M controls for the Arkham games for everything except the gliding challenges, for those I dug out the controller. Those were gay.

The stun area still isn't huge, and it bounces away, and it moves way faster now, so I don't think there's any way for one person to get stunned multiple times unless they're REALLY trying to.

Yea, and that shows pretty much best-case way-ahead shots too. Even after the rework Heimer feels kinda iffy. His ult cooldown is over 100 at rank one and much like Karma doesn't give a 'free' cast (like Rengar) so you don't get to use regular missiles + super missiles. You can get the super...

Annnddddd still no multiplayer mod support.

Everything I've seen points to that. There's tons of people on my friends list with 2 times as many wins as me that get nothing but the normal-queue equivalent of bronze V all day, whereas I get mostly get the same experience I do in my ranked so far playing against gold-platinum players.

Blitz + Thresh is fine for punishing bad players as long as you're ok. Wife and I just laned against that duo and they lost pretty bad to our Lucian + Lulu. Blitz rarely landed anything and even when he did we just disengaged and ended up trading even usually. With the latest 'nerf' to AD thresh...

There's something to be said for a variety of times and days for different types of matches though. Unlike the NFL, Americans are only a percentage of the viewership for League, and even the non-english streams still have to stream live whenever the games are actually on. With VoDs being free...

I would much rather watch double elimination best of 3 in the quarter finals or beyond than the nearly pointless group stage we had instead.
