League of Legends (Old)

Oh man, that Skarner rework. So depressing, and I don't even play Skarner.

yuuuup

he's basically just warwick except no survivability (i.e., completely terrible)

He has a slow and a stun tho. ^_^

[hiplop]

I only started Elise like 3 days ago, and I liked what I've been seeing.

That's great! Learning new champions is always amazing, and even if you don't keep them in your pool forever, you'll learn how to deal with them.

However

, don't go on a giant bitchfest like your favourite champion has just been gutted when

every single semi-rework has been AMAZING for the champion

. For that matter, don't go haywire period. It's fine to state why you dislike. However, shit like this:

NOOOOOOOOO WHY

Just feels like entitlement and that Riot has to do what you want them to. I honestly think the last rework to completely fail on it's intended purpose was 4.2 Skarner. Everything else since I'd call at least a moderate success.

not sure if the first lucian nerf was before or not, but that was pretty terrible

[Iecerint]

You mean the Lucian nerf that gave him a 60% winrate?

[FakeGod]

holy shit ani

whole series of posts were in jest

[animorpherv1]

Sarcasm and whatnot is hard to understand over the net.

[FakeGod]

Ok, that's fair. I'll help you out.

NOOOOOO WHY

^This is me just joking.

[Iecerint]

Fakegod never does bad things, so that knowledge will probably help to rule-out would-be bitchiness.

[FakeGod]

I mean I even gave away the fact that I only started elise recently.

Doesn't that like 100% give it away that I'm joking?

I thought you guys played mafia!!!

[hiplop]

You mean the Lucian nerf that gave him a 60% winrate?

yes that one

i just assume fakegod is always at least 70% tongue in cheek

[animorpherv1]

I thought you guys played mafia!!!

I don't!

[Iecerint]

Spectating Fakegod is really fun btw.

Like I'm not doing it right now and it still occurred to me.

[Iecerint]

I like new Jayce. ^_^

[FakeGod]

me too

[Iecerint]

Event #1: Faker plays Master Yi mid.

Event #2: I observe Master Yi mid in my personal life.

Grah. Time to change my stuff

It's all still on PBE yet.

[JasonWazza]

So wait, now 9 points in Defense = increased tenacity?

Possible, but tenacity is generally not a great stat for squishies because you die if you get cc'd at all anyways.

[JasonWazza]

Debatable, and it'd be for laning phases (EG. take against Annie.)

If you're laning against Annie I would recommend nine flat MR blues and an early null-magic, not tenacity.

[JasonWazza]

But the tenacity is a bonus, and it's easy points is my point, it's not very hard to take 9 points in defense and they gimped it for tanks.

[hitogoroshi]

new adaptive armor is horse manure

but new enchanted armor is pretty neat! Tank masteries focusing more on the lategame makes them feel tankier for sure, even if in general you get masteries for early game

even though it kinda sucked I will still miss runic blessing because the troll factor of Biscuit Bruisers was fantastic

[PJ.]

Ani lecturing anybody about entitlement or bitchiness is quite the laugh.

I personally think tenacity is good on anyone because it decreases the amount of time before you can wall flash the rest of the burst.

[Iecerint]

Putting enchanted armor deeper in the defensive tree will reduce the noob trap factor.

I could see adaptive armor being OK on someone like Taric.
