Joxam · « **Reply #1661 on:** March 28, 2012, 05:04:45 PM »

I'm sorry but a lot of the time I'm logged in and not even there. For instance I've been logged in since about Friday despite working all week end and half the week.

I could play the game with you, but mostly I'd make you regret all of the mistakes you've made in your life and the threadbare material trappings that you use to try and warm your cold, DotA heart.

EDIT:
That is to say I'm still tremendously bad.

Self-deprecation vis-à-vis League of Legends:

François · « **Reply #1669 on:** April 18, 2012, 05:06:21 PM »

Two mana cost reductions, and a new guy who scales off move speed. It's like Zilean is getting an April Christmas.

Envy · « **Reply #1670 on:** April 18, 2012, 05:08:43 PM »

It's saying SSarah is not a name in game.

fullmooninu · « **Reply #1671 on:** April 19, 2012, 02:46:15 AM »

Ill make the american account.

Unofficial patch notes from the beta server

Quote

New Item:
Athene's Unholy Grail
Item Cost: 2950
Recipe Cost: 500
+80 Ability Power +40 Magic Resist +15 Mana Regen per 5 seconds +15% Cooldown Reduction Passive: Restores 12% of your max Mana on Kill or Assist. UNIQUE Passive: Increases your Mana Regen by 1% per 1% Mana you are missing. Does not stack with Chalice of Harmony.
Components: Fiendish Codex + Chalice of Harmony + Recipe (500).

Hooooly crap. My Galio, Anivia, Karma and Swain have a new favorite item. Here's to never buying another Abyssal Scepter ever again.

Other news that caught my eye:
-Evil Tome gets Executioner's Calling healing reduction active, builds from Kage's instead of BW;
-Haunting Guise gives more AP and %MS instead of health
-Ryze gains mana scaling on his E, loses his ult's mana passive but gains MS on the active;
-Shen's ult no longer global

EDIT: No wait it still is.

I unlocked Sejuani on a whim and found out she's more fun than a barrel of monkeys wearing fur bikinis. I haven't even managed to do poorly with her yet, it's like she's rocking right out of the box. Once she gets in the middle of the enemy team it's like they're all "wait this is Sejuani she can't hurt us, we got a 4v5 lol" and then their health bar melts down and they can't move. I mean, it's not massive damage by any means but if a squishy stands in her W it's gonna take a hefty chunk out of them. The way she can destroy an entire team's ability to position itself is pretty rad; it's not Amumu- or Varus- or Morg-grade but it gets the job done and isn't on an ult cooldown. And her ganks are downright delicious. Early jungle is kind of terrible but I run flat armor reds and yellows so the minions aren't killing me and if I'm invaded the other guy is usually just wasting both our time since he hits me a couple times for no damage and then I jump over a tree. (Had my first PvP game and win against a Lee Sin who took my red as soon as it spawned but I didn't care because I was too busy murdering his buddies.)

In other news, the Grail is looking good; tried it on Swain and I never ran out of mana. Unexpectedly I think it might replace Soul Shroud in my support builds in the future; I guess it depends on whether I can spare the 500 or so HP for a bit of extra punch. It also has that subtle Soul Shroud advantage of being composed of individually cheap items so I can slowly build it bit by bit as I pick up wards on a support's income. If it needed like a Blasting Wand or something like that it would be kind of out of reach in that regard. Only problem is that Grail + Reverie + Ionian Boots = 45% CDR, so I might start getting Mercs instead, which isn't bad (since I no longer have to resort to Eleisa's Miracle if I need Tenacity) but shifts my acquisition of CDR to later in the game.

I haven't had time to play as much as I wanted this weekend, but in like eight support games (unlocked Nunu and Leona, so rad) I've laned with exactly one ranged AD who knew what "last hit" meant. It was in a vs AI game.

In my last Nunu game I've had 6 kills before 10 minutes were up. Too bad they were all because I mopped up after Varus kamikazed into the other guys and retard-lucked both of them to down to single-digit HP before getting vaporized himself. By minute 15 I had more kills than anyone else on either team... but the rest of my team had 2 kills total, and the others had like 20.

Effing double IP.

Ziiro · « **Reply #1675 on:** June 16, 2012, 05:17:58 PM »

Fired up LoL for the first time in a year to see how things were. Had the IP to buy draven. Got Draven. Holy shit, this is a fun champion.

François · « **Reply #1676 on:** June 21, 2012, 12:12:57 PM »

I haven't ever actually faced a good Draven but I can totally see how he could be pretty brutal and amazing in the right hands. Honestly, as I unlock more and more people I find that the difficult champs with high skill caps and unique mechanics are where the real fun is in this game. I had sworn off Orianna after a free week because I couldn't keep track of the ball, but I unlocked her on a whim a few days ago* and it turns out I was a moron and I shoulda got her way sooner.

*: I ran out of champs I -really- wanted a while ago, so nowadays I just let IP pile up until something strikes my fancy. Which I assume is what happens to everyone if they play long enough.

Doom · « **Reply #1677 on:** June 21, 2012, 05:34:56 PM »

Have they buffed Orianna recently? A few months ago she was meta'd to uselessness pretty bad(a combo mage that can't instantly combo unlike every other combo mage.)

Niku · « **Reply #1678 on:** June 21, 2012, 07:58:21 PM »

I think they went back on one of her range nerfs, but otherwise she is still a far cry from her must-ban status.

Which isn't to say that she's not crazy fun to play, she's just outclassed pretty hard still.

François · « **Reply #1679 on:** June 22, 2012, 06:21:03 AM »

Her basic attack range went from 550 to 500 to 525, and her Q range went from 900 to 800 to 825. Apparently somewhere along the line her Q's mana cost stopped increasing per rank and is now a flat 50. I usually aim for late game, rush Chalice and pick up a Grail eventually, so there's really no such thing as a mana problem with her anymore.

Just like with, say, Corki or Viktor or Karma, I think there's a fairly big hidden advantage in how a lot of people just aren't very aware of what she can do. I tend to get away with a lot of stuff I really shouldn't be allowed to get away with just because it's clear some opponents don't know how to react.

I've even ran into one guy in Dominion who built her halfway like a ranged carry (IE and PD and Nashor's Tooth, IIRC) so he could chunk people with her passive and it seemed to work surprisingly well. She's tied for AS growth per level at third place with Riven, just behind Eve and Kass, and by level 18 she's like 6th fastest in the game.
