League Of Legends

It's a similar... concept? Design? I'm not sure what the word is I'm looking for. He's almost entirely utility mechanics, like Thresh, and most of them are totally off-the-wall-new to most players, like Thresh was. Bard also pushes (practically forces) a tactic that is rarer in soloq with the roaming support, which means that's another thing opponents have to deal with. I can't imagine soloq getting used to Bard in anything resembling a reasonable amount of time.

I don't know if he'll ever work in solo queue, cause people getting "used" to Bard is just gonna mean super diving the ADC the second Bard leaves to go find chimes.

I think Bard is balanced by his ability to open one-way portals into the fog of war and kill himself.

Would you say Corki is new player friendly? He has a dash so you have a chance to escape and his ult is just a long range poke spell. He does build a bit different from most ADCs.

No. Playing Cork properly involves atk moving + weaving abilities inbetween auto attacks. I think a champ like Cait would be better for a beginner.

Yeah Corki is very hard to play well and if you aren't good at him you will feed extremely hard.

Can you jungle bard with the new tank item? Is nautilus awesome now?

I'm with Ronne, if they pick Bard, you grab Annie or Leona and piledrive that poor adc while Bard is on walkabout.

What was the program where you can have all skins but only for you to see?

Early impressions: lack of CDR is a huge cockblock for Zac. Sej is as dumb as expected. Voli is annoying.

Joe Miller, Doa, and Monte on the tri-cast. So good.

No ones talking about new AP item?

I'm about to hit 20 and figure I need to finally buy runes esp since t2 so cheap now. Any suggestions for a generic fits all loadout for like physical bruiser (top/jg) vs AP? (Only 2 pages, maybe can buy 3rd)

The needing so many tailored loadouts/pages/masteries irks me about this game, added complexity for not much of a good reason I think. As is I generally play all characters with the misc/support whatever it's called tree for extra starting potion and other things. Always forget to try changing it based on hero.

Also feel like while certain things accepted, sometimes I wonder if certain say adc's wouldnt benefit more from some defence tree stuff since they get plenty rapey just based off items in game.

Buy T3 when you hit 20.

armor or health yellows
MR or MR/level blues
Red and Quints for AP or AD.

You're set for awhile.

I've got only like 10k IP, still kinda want to grab darius or at least a good support when I get stuck as it. So perhaps t3 as much as I can and just get by on t2's as I keep grinding. (Problem with only 1-2 games a day skipping some days)

Sej has passed Heimer for top winrate in the last 24 hours. Only 56.5 though, like 2% higher than she was.

IEM is so much fun.

To clarify, go for the flat +amount, or should for on health do % or scaling? Only scaling on magic resist?

Should probably just do flat armor yellows for basically every page for every character unless you want to get really deep into rune minmaxing. It's still pretty rare that anything beats flat armor yellows for value. MR I do a mix of scaling and flat but I go mid a lot. Runes have their biggest impact in the early game so it makes it a little harder to justify scaling ones.

Got a survey from Riot asking me how I would feel if they went back up to twelve champion releases a year. Trying to keep up with a dozen characters all as mechanically distinct and unique as Rek'sai, Bard, Kalista, Gnar, and Azir would be crazy town.
