Gnar is crazy amounts of fun, though difficult to learn. I was just taking to quadz earlier, and I have enjoyed playing him every game, regardless of whether my team has won or lost, and for me to find that in a champion is pretty rare.

I'm seeing an insane amount of Veigar lately (I assume because of the new skin). Also I hate him. Related.

Them totally ret-conning the entire lore about summoners as characters and the league itself is an interesting move...

(Too bad they won't retcon away having to grind to 30 to get full runes)

TBH I don't know anyone who is invested in the lore. Find it interesting, sure, find it fun, sure, but invested?

Honestly i would say that's more to do with the fact that Riot had basically Foresaken the lore, i think a lot more people would have been into it if they had kept up the lore they had going (Journal of Justice, the League's Judgements etc.)

The reason no one is into the lore is because it was foresaken long ago, and now they are rubbing it in harder by saying it's all non-canon.

Yeah I'll agree with you.

Anyway guys: Today I have risen to new heights. I am in a higher league than I have ever been. With no appearance of stopping.


Bronze Two. I can almost see the silver horizon.

Summoner name, server, main role/champs?

I've been up and down between BII and BIII on NA, if you're also NA we can duo sometime!

Main roles for me are
Mid: Malz, Orianna, Akali, Orianna, and niche pick Rammus as a Talon counter.
ADC: MF, Graves, Trist, sometimes Ashe or Sivir
Supp: Nami, Sona, Morgana
when top, I tend to play Malphite, currently training Fiora in normals with hopes of moving her to ranked soon.
please don't make me jungle. But if my team needs, I can play J4 or something. I love jungle, but I've been sucking at it basically all season :(

Wait, are they actually retconning the whole concept of 'Summoners'? I didn't realize that was like, a done deal.

OCE man. I'm on the same server as ErectGymnast, so maybe just be jealous of that :P

I usually play

Top: Trundle, Lulu, Ryze
Jungle: Xin Zhao, Kha'zix, Sejuanni (Need more suggestions for tank junglers plz team)
Mid: My least played role. Usually Ryze, Lulu. Basically someone I play somewhere else. And yes I've played mid Corki and it fuckin' rocks.
ADC: Trist, Corki, Lucian
Support: Bruam, Morgana, Lulu

In descending order: ADC -> Jungle -> Top -> Support -> Mid

Not much - I'm pretty much always around, but school started and whatnot.

It seems dumb. They can add to the universe instead of continuously retconning it.

That awkward moment when the guy you agree to swap with in champ select swaps you Elise instead of J4 for no apparent reason....

That happy moment when you win anyway thanks to that guy playing Darius and an epic Syndra carrying you.

http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends. ... 8/50095874

On a related note, how do I midgame as Elise? I went from 3/1/2 to 4/11/16, so something clearly went wrong in my midgame.


EDIT: Also, hey Saki, how do you mid/late game as Fiora? I've been practicing her a little in normals and stuff, and the laning is going ok, but I'm not sure what to do after that (how to teamfight and/or splitpush as Fiora, basically).

Not really? It means I get to see cool stuff in advanced, like the pool party skins and various champs.

I wasn't attached to the lore anyways.

Guess i'd be gutted to hear this, because from what i can tell, League of Legends is now just... a thing?

Like league of legends just happened because, and all the lore is whatever the champions choose to do while they weren't dicking around in some random arena.

Can someone link to something that isn't the dev blog saying "hey man we're gonna make Some Changes (TM) to the lore" with no specifics at all?
