    League of Legends Free Talk Tuesday - November 26th!


    Free Talk Tuesday - November 26th!

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 12:52 AM PST

    Hey there, /r/leagueoflegends! It's that time of the week once again - Free Talk Tuesday's back up - now with it's own 80 page primer! (I kid, I kid.) Hope you've all had a good weekend!

    Aphelios has made his debut, and everyone's talking about the complexity that is his kit. With five weapons, a sisterly spirit-bond and a haircut that'll send you reeling into 2003 he's giving the big brain champs of the League a run for their money. He looks cool as all HELL though so if you're interested, here he is! Fair warning though - it's a lengthy read so strap in, folks!

    That's not all we've got, though! There's a plethora of skins making their debut soon(TM) and this go round there's more than just a few lines - this update brings us the return of the Nightbringer/Dawnbringer lines, Sugar Rush and last but not least a Hextech skin for Swain! My personal favorites so far have to be Karma (SHE'S SO PRETTY I LOVE HER) and Nidalee (See Karma). What do you all think of this year's lineup? Sound off below!

    That's it for this week! I think y'all have had enough of walls of text for today so I'll try and keep it sorta short, so have fun and remember our FTT Rules: talk shop, play nice and as always, have a good week!!

    Tarzaned cries at the end of Twitch Rivals, and announces 30 day ban from Twitch

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 04:42 PM PST

    https://clips.twitch.tv/PowerfulJoyousDinosaurThisIsSparta

    Can really tell how much the tourney meant to him, he really smurfed on alot of current and ex pros in the jungle this tournament. Sad he doesn't get to cash in on his success immediately but on to bigger and better things for this guy.

    He just released a Twitlonger : https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sr2tb9

    Added the VOD which got him banned: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/507882692?t=02h39m40s

    Added the clip for non subs: https://clips.twitch.tv/VenomousCooperativeSpaghettiSmoocherZ

    Justified ban for sure, hopefully he can truly reform and move on from this because his talent is just unreal.

    Twitch Rivals: Tarzaned steals baron

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 02:56 PM PST

    "I want Riot Games to copyright the moon" - During Aphelios's development cycle, CertainlyT wanted his power level to change based on the phase of the moon IRL. "I want players to go outside, see that it's a full moon and run home to play League"

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 07:21 AM PST

    https://twitter.com/JustNovalas/status/1199043169964314627 https://twitter.com/JustNovalas/status/1199043296791629824 https://twitter.com/JustNovalas/status/1199043868206891009 https://twitter.com/JustNovalas/status/1199067943314681856

    From QA Analyst @JustNovalas. The copyrighting the moon thing was surely facetious but still hilarious. At one point, CertainlyT wanted Akali to have a special interaction with Nami where she was able to surf Nami's wave. https://twitter.com/JustNovalas/status/1199070029418876928 https://twitter.com/JustNovalas/status/1199056301143117824

    On a more endearing note, Novalas wishes he could have partnered with CertainlyT on a project at least once during his Riot tenure citing his sheer impact his words had on him as a fledgling in the industry.

    100 Thieves confirm addition of Cody Sun to the bot lane

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 10:02 AM PST

    100 Thieves confirm via a meme video on Twitter that Cody Sun has joined the organization. Video includes a close-up shot of Meteos saying "Hey, look at us." The video then pans to Cody Sun, who says "Look at us. Who would have thought?" It then pans back to Meteos, who says "Not me."

    Why the heck do I have to change my account name after 10 years?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 01:20 PM PST

    I assume everyone else is being forced to create a "Riot Games account?" I am trying to create mine, but every single name I've used is taken. Now I get it that there is a chance someone already snagged it, but its just a combo of letters and numbers I always use as my main account. I have used the same one for years and years on multiple platforms and I am literally the only who uses it.

    How can you implement a new system and not start fresh? So now millions of people have to create new accounts without using the tens of millions of ones already used? Sorry I am frustrated. I picked those characters because I always use them and no one else does. It is annoying and frustrating. I can only image how frustrating its going to be for everyone else.

    Edit: From what I have gathered it's from having the same account names on different regions. Ticket is in and still waiting for a response.

    LPL fans call Nemesis "Lemonesis"

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 02:21 PM PST

    SOURCE: https://bbs.hupu.com/30510150.html

    SOUR in Chinese culture means SALTY
    When people say you are so SOUR, it basically means you are so salty in English.

    And Lemon is a sour fruit, so they start calling Nemesis Lemonesis
    I just think that is funny so I translate and post here

    Evil Geniuses announces Kumo as starter

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 09:27 AM PST

    https://twitter.com/EvilGeniuses/status/1199378444485828609?s=20

    We think it's time for this top laner to have the opportunity to prove his abilities full time in the big League.

    Welcome to the EVIL family, @c9kumo .

    This makes sense since they are likely importing a mid laner

    Ryoma Joins 100 Thieves

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 04:28 PM PST

    I edited DB Nidalee's hair and golden accents to make them look less vibrant yellow and more splash accurate.

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 06:41 AM PST

    I edited DB Nidalee's hair and golden accents to make them look less vibrant yellow and more splash accurate.

    The skin is pretty so no shade to whoever made the textures, but DB Nidalee in her splash art (aside from being white for some reason) has light blonde hair that in the model looks just too yellow. Again, no disrespect to the people behind it. Rather some feedback on the skin as the actual feedback thread on the boards seems kinda dead.

    PapaSmithy on why he chose Ryoma for 100 Thieves

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 05:08 PM PST

    https://twitter.com/PapaSmithy/status/1199494189215412224

    We selected @Ryoma100T to be the mid laner for @100Thieves because he ticked all boxes:

    • High baseline of skill (Assessed by panel of four coaches/staff) with clear upside.

    • English first language for communication

    • Performance exceeded expectations in NA tryout

    • Good references

    Imported players come to #LCS for many different reasons - For an OCE player, it represents a higher level of competition where they can truly compete on a big stage.

    This is exactly the kind of player I want in my org - Someone who understands the opportunity he's been given.

    No player who we talked to and scouted this offseason better represented themselves than Ryoma and it was a unanimous decision to bring him on as our mid laner.

    He's got a lot of growing to do, but I'm excited to watch the journey up close!

    11/26 PBE Update: Aphelios, Twelve New Skins, & Much More

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 01:59 PM PST

    Omnistone was made for Aphelios

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 04:53 AM PST

    How to play the most confusing champ in the game? Play the most confusing rune in the game. The keystones you get are random and so are his guns. How can the enemy know what you will do If you dont know what to do?

    Something that bugs me much more than it should - Aphelios' weapon names all have Latin origins apart from one which is Greek.

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 02:20 AM PST

    Severum - from the Latin "separare" meaning "disjoin" or "divide" which later became "severer" in Anglo-Norman French which later became "sever" that we now use today. An appropriate name for a scythe shaped weapon with high DPS potential on the Q.

    Gravitum - From the Latin "gravis" meaning weight or "gravitas" which can also mean seriousness. Obviously today we have the word "gravity" - the effect of this weapon is to slow and root, much like the effects of very heavy gravity, and also putting opponents in a seriously heavy situation.

    Infernum - From the Latin "Infernus" - I'm not gonna explain this one more, I'd really hope you get it.

    Crecendum - Our modern word Crescent also has Latin roots - "crescere" meaning grow or increase or develop. Also an appropriate name for the weapon as it allows your attack speed and damage to grow with your aggression, and it grows your offhand weapon into a turret.

    And then just to ruin the whole pattern we've got Calibrum, a play on "calibre" which has the GREEK origin "Kalapous" because I guess fuck consistency.

    Therefore I suggest that Calibrum be renamed to Linum - from our modern word "Line" because it's Q shoots in straight lines, but also from the Latin word "Linea"

    Amazing confirms he'll be on an LEC team next split

    Posted: 26 Nov 2019 02:57 PM PST

    https://twitter.com/Amazingx/status/1199461406757793793

    Signed with my new team for 2020, extremely excited for the work I'll get to do. All I can say for today is that I'll return to Europe, and I'll be part of the #LEC again :)

    he doesnt specify in what capacity he's involved with the team he signed with, wether he's gonna be a player, a coach or something else (he posted that hes definitely not playing, but didnt say what hes gonna do), but having amazing back in EU is cool!
