    Grievous wounds works better if you buy it before healing champs get fed, instead of building it BECAUSE the healing champ got fed

    Posted: 03 May 2020 11:38 AM PDT

    I see a lot of complaints that grievous wounds isn't worthwhile because it doesn't reduce healing enough, but in my experience people never buy grievous until it's too late. Yes the 2 levels up, 5-0 Mundo is going to drain tank 2v1 regardless of grievous wounds, but you can't look at it from the perspective that being able to kill someone is pay off.

    Buying early executioners into heavy sustain lane can help you win that one more trade for lane priority, it can help pressure a dive onto a matchup that's comfortable healing up on waves at tower, it can help you force a back out of your opponent where they would've liked to hold out for a powerspike.

    Let me give you an example, how many times have you been a kill up in lane and ahead in CS, and the enemy (insert conq user here) shows up with their first powerspike and 1v1s you despite you being also on first item and up, let's say a 900-1100 gold in components. Instead of a couple long swords or a Caulfields, you can use executioners to extent that lead, delay that powerspike, or win that 1v1 and not give the enemy a chance to swing the lane back in favor.

    Grievous is extremely useful in unnoticeable ways and gets a bad rep because people thinks 800 gold should negate the 6000 solo gold lead a bruiser has 30 minutes into a game, and that's just not how it works.

    I strongly believe grievous wounds is useful despite the community perception.

    Unless you're a mage, tough shit.

    The hard Truth: 99% of the complaints on thus subreddit are from people who shouldn't be busy with talking about balancing but improving themselves.

    Posted: 03 May 2020 01:40 PM PDT

    Since the official boards closed this subreddit has less quality posts.

    You complaining about Garen and Darius being broken?

    You complaining that you die to midlane roams too much?

    You complain about the amount of healing in the game?

    All the energy that some of you spend talking about balancing could be used to improve your shitty ass gameplay. I know this subreddit has a lot of great players.

    Have you ever made a play so shamefully bad that you muted all

    Posted: 03 May 2020 02:01 PM PDT

    I had a game as Ashe, my Jax jungle was being invaded at blue and I was near my turret. He turned the fight around and by the time I was range, it looked like he was gonna barely win. I use my W to get some damage on the enemy or atleast for that sweet assist gold and not only did the enemy die before it hit, the W hit gromp and aggro'ed him into the critically low Jax. He died and I immediately muted all chat to hide from the shame.

    Am I alone?

    Why do minions still randomly reacquire targets?

    Posted: 03 May 2020 11:33 AM PDT

    I can't say how many times I'll be trying to farm in lane at a cannon wave and my cannon minion will have the audacity to last-hit a minion for me when it was shooting another. Its original target didn't leave its range or suddenly die, it just decided that it would screw me out of CS.

    This problem gets much worse when it's the enemy cannon minion that decides it's bored of shooting the same target and wants to walk all the way into turret range to start wailing on something that wasn't its concern.

    Miss Fortune's E is almost impossible to see in ARAM

    Posted: 03 May 2020 02:03 PM PDT

    Especially her base skin, captain MF, and arcade skins...

    The lack of border and the smoothed/blended animations makes it impossible to see in ARAM's bright/snowy ground background.... (not sure about SR).

    This is not just my opinion. Most of the people I play with complain about it too.

    The only thing that comes to mind is that we all play on ColorBlind Mode. If that matters.

    Can we look into visibility/clarity issues on that skill?

    Much Appreciated. :)

    I think the simplest way to reduce toxicity would be to give out a free "sorry" emote.

    Posted: 03 May 2020 06:46 AM PDT

    You fucked up an engage, missed a crucial skillshot, accidentally stole a buff or a creep?

    These things just happen sometimes, but by the time I can even attempt to apologize by typing, Id have already gotten spampinged...

    Garen should get a resource system: Oxygen

    Posted: 02 May 2020 10:19 PM PDT

    Garen constantly runs around, spins in heavy armor, throws swords on other people's heads and ignores enemy slows - all while screaming "CHOOOORGE!" and "FOR THE KONG!".

    Maybe he can somehow do this without the help of mana that fucking anti-wizard racist, but you can't tell me that this bad Death Lotus imitator has endless lung capacity.

    So, here my proposal: Garen has a Heat-like resource bar with 100 oxygen units. Every time he cast a spell or triggers a quote, some of the oxygen is drained. If the oxygen drops to or below 0, he hyperventilates for 6 seconds, becoming disarmed, slowed and having his armor and MR set to 0.

    Garen can refresh his oxygen bar immediately by standing still (out of combat) for 4 seconds. If he hyperventilates, all oxygen is restored after the 6 second "punishment" period.

    Players can reduce Garen's resource consumption by casting spells less randomly, moving away from combat frequently (synergizing with his passive, btw) or turning off unit speech in the option menu.

    As a bonus, an allied Janna can cast her W on Garen, restoring 20/21.25/22.5/23.75/25 oxygen + ((20 - 35%, based on level) + 2% AP) of his missing oxygen. However, pressing CTRL+1 within 1000 units of him causes immediate hyperventilation, so take care.

    Thanks for letting me waste your time with this semi-serious idea. Maybe this would even accidentally make Garen more balanced. But I'm already happy if he will become less of a ferocious screamer. The only more annoying things are Yasuo, Olaf and God King Darius' W (wuuuuuuh!...).

    I will now listen to some scientific recordings of Kai'sa's E, please excuse me for 20 minutes...


    Next week: New resource system for Katarina - Daggers! She carries around 30 daggers and needs to visit the base to refill them. Death Lotus drains all remaining daggers. - Will it be fun to play as Kata? (Who cares!)

    Seeking feedback on whether the subreddit would enjoy regular posts translating LPL content

    Posted: 03 May 2020 02:11 AM PDT

    College student here who's about to finish his papers and finals in two weeks. I've recently started browsing lots of Chinese League of legends forums, social media, videos, streams, Weibo (Chinese twitter), etc. It's a really interesting league with lots of interesting storylines and players and history and fanbases and it has imo the best memes. It's been so much fun and I feel like the LPL region in terms of translated content for an English audience is just so undercovered. Would there be interest in regularly translated content of the LPL like:

    interviews (can only do typed summaries unless someone here wants to do video-editing)

    popular discussions/storylines

    community reactions (to like important games and series, free agency/trades, meta, news about NA or EU, Worlds)

    Hupu and tieba front-page posts, etc

    And perhaps spoken like an idealistic first-year college student, I also hope that through sharing some aspects of the Chinese league community with you guys, it's also offering an avenue to learn more about China, its culture, and its people (even if its through memes about Clearlove being the Doublelift of LPL).

    TLDR: Interested in regular translated LPL content from Chinese forums?

    Yuumi deserves either nerfs or changes

    Posted: 03 May 2020 11:46 AM PDT

    Yuumi has nearly 50% average presence in games (she's either picked or banned). It varies depending on region (15% in KR- which is still very much- and 65% in EUW, these are the extremesI think).

    I think she's straight up too strong (despite her average ~49% win rate in masters+).

    A lot of recent champions tend to be overloaded- Irelia and Akali come to my mind. I don't think that Yuumi is different. She does everything a support could do (shields, heals, CC, poke, MS boost, stat boost). I'd say it's basically a Soraka mixed with Sona, deprived their biggest flaw- being easy to kill- and I think that's what makes her so problematic.

    First of all, I don't think it's a good/fun concept. I think that being unkillable means, that a support like Yuumi is either too strong or too weak, since permanent untargetability is something really strong and other abilities have to be balanced around that. She was changed several times since release and there never was an 'in between' option. She always was either too weak or too strong.

    Second of all, there will always be champions that too often become literal monsters with Yuumi- Master Yi, Garen, Darius, Vladimir, any fed ADC or Bruiser. The amount of their survivability and damage combined with Yuumi's additional peel can make them literally unstoppable, even through grevious wounds. Normally killing an enchanter is the best way to weaken carries like that, but in this case it's impossible.

    Third of all, thanks to her ability to stick to the carry, she doesn't have to worry about things like positioning. Next advantage of that ability is that she can take an additional summoner spell in place of flash, which I think is another, pretty big benefit of her W

    Also, you've probably heard of Saskio, the guy who played on two computers- one was his 'real' one, on which he played ADC and the second one was there only to let him play Yuumi. He basically played 2 champions at once. I think it shows how little work playing Yuumi takes and I'd say that's her next problem. There's not such a thing as skill expression on this champion. Thanks to that, there's not much difference between challenger Yuumi and iron Yuumi (other than utilizing her passive, not all Yuumi's do that).

    These are the problems I think Yuumi will always have unless she gets reworked or mini-reworked. I also think that tuning her down would be good before that happens (if it ever does).

    Thanks for reading.

    It's 2020, it's time we got 2-Factor Authentication

    Posted: 03 May 2020 10:15 AM PDT

    Every other major online game has it, from Fortnite to WoW to Steam, 2FA is a necessary security feature that we have lacked for a decade. It's honestly ridiculous that for the playerbase size that league is we don't have such a basic security feature.

    LDLC OL vs Vodafone Giants- EU Masters 1st Tie Breakers Post-Match Thread

    Posted: 03 May 2020 09:42 AM PDT

    LDLC OL wins and qualify to Quarters final !!

    VGIA really did int the draft from start to finish though. They focused two ban on Bando, banned Taric for no reason while LDLC got Graves, Varus and Zoe (big comfort for Vetheo)

    LFL will replace Superliga as the number 2 ERL ( so 3 teams from LFL next EUM) ?

    to summurize : Tynx LVL 10, Lama bear lvl 6.

    thoughts ?
