    Riot went on the other extreme, now they do minimal changes during the entire season and we end up with tons of filler patches

    The game is starting to feel stale. We more or less have the exact same meta since the beginning of the season (maybe even since the previous season), with very few changes. Patches just dont feel meaningful

    Im not saying to go back to changing massively the game every month. But now it feels they barely change anything during the entire season, and the preseasons arent even that impactful

    5 honor level rewards are unsatisfying and are wasted opportunity

    Posted: 21 May 2020 06:10 AM PDT

    For being super nice and friendly players, we are awarded with 5th honor level and tokens that we can exchange for Medival Twitch, Grey Warwick and chromas to those skins. But I guess I'm not the only one who thinks that these are lame rewards. Both Twitch and Ww have better skins.

    Don't get me wrong, I don't intend to complain about free stuff. I complain about the fact that these rewards are wasted opportunity to fix community's attitude. Imagine the situation where you get Cosmic/Dark Cosmic Lux for 5th lvl, moreover, these are exclusive skins, not avaliable any other way. I don't know if it would help a lot, but surely it would help more than current rewards.

    Have you ever met players who said that they are nice because they want those sweet Twitch/Ww skins? On the other hand, can you imagine situation when someone is nice because they want those cool skins like High Noon Lucian, Pajama Guardian Urgot, Astronaut Bard etc.?

    BUZZLIGHTYEAR99 The Climb

    Posted: 21 May 2020 07:25 AM PDT

    As of right now, T1 is sitting in Grandmaster at 272LP the cut off for chsllenger is somewhere around 410LP i think. I for one am surprised how fast hes climbed sfter purging his champion pool and wanted to ask what the communitys opinion on this is.

    He used to play Karthus, Kindred, Jarvan and Olaf

    Recently he started playing almost exclusively Ivern and Olaf and has gained like what, 400LP since??

    Now i know going from grandmaster to challenger is very different than climbing in lower Elos, but is a champion pool adjustment good advice for anyone failing to climb?

    I work at a wrap shop and needed to practice some techniques. So I put Pulsefire Ekko on my truck door.

    I was working on a new door handle technique without having to remove the handle completely. My boss said I could do whatever I wanted and practice on my own truck.

    Ask Riot: New Game Modes? - League of Legends

    Posted: 21 May 2020 11:25 AM PDT

    Summoner Spells Locked on New Accounts is Nonsense

    Posted: 21 May 2020 04:48 PM PDT

    I love playing Ghost/Heal mid vs Flash/Ignite Zed. That's fair. People take note of Flash down so they can take advantage of you. My Flash is down the entire game. There is zero benefit to making a match so unbalanced.

    If you think there is a good reason for locking sums, fine. Don't match me with people who have sums unlocked. WHY would that ever happen?

    A Rioter's personal stance on the state of marksmen (from last year)

    Posted: 21 May 2020 12:49 PM PDT

    https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/a3pp81/a_rioters_personal_stance_on_the_state_of_marksmen/

    I'm going to heavily caveat this with "this is just my opinion".

    Marksmen are systemically overpowered. That's gonna be true of a role that is functionally mandatory to the game. Yes there are some cheese counters - but they are seen as cheese. If they were actual accepted counters to them, we would see pros adapt rather then literally bench themselves and wait out until we make their role OP again (looking at you Rekkles). And there are also really good reasons that we keep them overpowered. They create a very understandable game-flow for all players with inevitability (they will win the game if not dealt with).

    That said, Marksmen have low agency. Agency is a measure of how impactful their own actions are at determining their success - and I strongly suspect this is what marksmen actually complain about. They got this weird conception that they are supposed to be carries (adc lul) - but that's literally the opposite of what they are. The more reliable your output is (repeatable ranged unmissable dps), the less agency you can have. Really you can view every ability as a way to buy agency - and the more unreliable (missable/dodgeable/high cost/difficult to position/long CD) your ability is the more agency it can buy. And since Marksmen put the majority of their power budget in a very reliable ability (AAs), they can buy the least agency. Imagine how miserable a fight would be if Marksmen had the most agency. You can't outplay an AA, you can't wait for it to be on CD or dodge it, and therefore the Autoattacker also can't outplay with that AA. Anything you tried to do to stop this, the marksmen would negate because they have higher agency. Every other role MUST have agency over them - or they reliably lose because marksmen are reliable. So as long as their AAs consume the majority of their power budget, they are functionally very powerful cannon minions, not carries. Carries are the players who do something proactive that wins the game - definitionally something that requires high agency (ie: Malphite Ulted 5 ppl).

    This is made worse by how well marksmen scale with gold, which just means they need to be weak early game. Since games snowball and players tilt and get mad at teammates, mistakes can easily compound to functional defeat before they get enough gold. This effect is generally sharper the further away from coordinated professional play you get (especially with flaming teammates in game - something I assume basically never happens in actual profession matches). I would go as far as to say that a significant amount of our players should probably not even be playing marksmen at their MMR since they and their teammates simply can't play around them well enough.

    The Review: Patch 10.10 Balance Change Analysis by the Numbers

    Posted: 21 May 2020 09:41 AM PDT

    Hey all, Aldonall from LoLTheory.gg here! Welcome back to The Review, where I use tables and numbers to talk about what Riot's most recent balance patch actually affected, and by how much.

    Check Out the 10.10 Notes Here

    A welcome change from 10.9, there's a little bit more going on in 10.10. Not a ton of huge WR changes, but a shift in what's being played, which is usually the precursor for those bigger WR moves. Check out this giant table and you'll see the trend:

    Champion Changes:

    Champion Role Change WR 10.9 ⇒ WR 10.10 PR 10.9 ⇒ PR 10.10
    Annie Middle Buff 50.92%  ⇗  52.30% 1.23%  ⇗  2.66%
    Diana Middle Nerf 51.68%  ⇒  51.22% 7.80%  ⇘  7.05%
    Irelia Top Buff 46.82%  ⇒  47.16% 6.55%  ⇗  7.38%
    Irelia Middle Buff 44.77%  ⇒  45.31% 3.45%  ⇒  3.77%
    Katarina Middle Nerf 52.27%  ⇒  52.55% 7.39%  ⇘  6.47%
    Kayn Top Nerf 49.15%  ⇒  49.13% 1.76%  ⇘  1.05%
    Kayn Jungle Nerf 51.33%  ⇒  51.11% 13.46%  ⇒  12.78%
    Kled Top Nerf 52.70%  ⇘  51.70% 4.11%  ⇘  3.37%
    Maokai Top Nerf 52.71%  ⇘  51.22% 8.45%  ⇘  6.97%
    Maokai Support Nerf 52.20%  ⇒  52.06% 1.92%  ⇒  1.64%
    Miss Fortune Bottom Nerf 51.74%  ⇘  50.63% 17.51%  ⇘  13.18%
    Nidalee Jungle Buff 49.88%  ⇒  49.85% 3.52%  ⇑  6.76%
    Sivir Bottom Buff 49.16%  ⇒  49.45% 2.56%  ⇑  4.43%
    Soraka Support Buff 50.60%  ⇒  51.12% 5.22%  ⇑  8.76%
    Taric Support Nerf 52.31%  ⇒  51.58% 3.66%  ⇘  2.98%
    Twisted Fate Middle Buff 50.07%  ⇒  50.32% 5.27%  ⇑  7.83%
    Udyr Jungle Buff 50.05%  ⇒  50.57% 0.98%  ⇗  1.48%

    Notes:

    • Annie: One of the few outright winners of this patch, Annie sees a WR increase of ~1.4% coupled with her PR doubling.

    • Miss Fortune: Opposite Annie, a rare outright loser here. WR down by ~1%, and PR falls from 17% to 13%. FotM players starting to shift away.

    • Nidalee: Steady WR, double PR. Keep an eye on her through 10.11.

    • Sivir & Soraka: See: Nidalee.

    Which Champion quote becomes a great entrance line when you add the word 'bitch.' at the end?

    Posted: 21 May 2020 03:44 AM PDT

    I mean the truly sassy, end of sentence kind of Bitch. When I lock in Leona I just always say

    "The Dawn has arrived - Bitch."

    Edit: Here are some of my favourites so far. Turns out Aurelion Sol is pretty OP and the clear winner for me here.

    My personal winner: "Boop, Bitch."

    "May I enter? Just joking - star dragons don't need permission, Bitch."

    "Cosmic dragon 5, everyone else 0, please, take notes, Bitch."

    "There simply are no other dragons like me, bitch."- Aurelion Sol (all 3 above incl.)

    "Ok, bitch." - Rammus

    "It's me, Bitch." - Twitch

    "What does Rhaast mean anyway? Obey, Bitch." - Kayn / Rhaast

    "Ya science, Bitch." - Heimerdinger

    "Never underestimate the power of the scouts code, Bitch." - Teemo

    "Mundo goes where he pleases, Bitch!" - Dr. Mundo

    My favorite color is spring, Bitch!" -Ivern

    "You can't milk those, Bitch." - Alistar

    "Brain over brawn, Bitch." - Heimerdinger

    "Rock Solid, Bitch." - Malphite

    "Stand Behind Braum, Bitch." - Braum

    "Youre on the list, Bitch." - Pyke

    "King of Trolls, coming through, Bitch." - Trundle

    "Not so fast, Bitch!" - Poppy (W block)

    "You belong in a museum, Bitch" - Ezreal

    "Where's my fishy fishy fish for my dishy dishy dish, BITCH?" - Yuumi

    "Come closer, Bitch." - Evelynn

    " You may now appreciate me, Bitch." - Qiyana

    "You've earned a good death, Bitch." - Rengar

    "Beaten by a little girl, Bitch" -Annie

    "Afraid, Bitch?" - Fiddle (Ban)

    "Surprise, I'm back, Bitch!" - Jax

    "Trust me, Bitch." - LeBlanc"Classic Misdirection, Bitch." - LeBlanc

    "I'm gone, Bitch." - Twisted Fate (ulting away)

    "Indeed a wise choice, Bitch." - Heimerdinger

    "Feel my Sting, Bitch." - Skarner

    "The Truth, Bitch!"- Illaoi

    "Our duel beings, Bitch." -Ayayatrox

    "Let's start the show, Bitch." -Jhin

    "Your Emperor has returned, Bitch!" - Azir

    "The whole I dig is for you, Bitch." - Yorick(?)

    [skin idea] I finished my Yuumi concepts

    [skin idea] I finished my Yuumi concepts

    https://preview.redd.it/eo1g6ecd46051.jpg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=221fa914bd53798387805fd90bb35ea086f2b953

    A little while ago I posted a few sketches for Yuumi skins and now I polished them. :)

    Where the first bunch included variants or alternatives. Ths time around I made one definite concept for each direction. It#s the same story tha I mention before: The initial idea was a bewitching Yuumi in form of a black cat on witch's spellbook and from there other ideas came up.

    I tried to turn Cheshire Yuumi into a candy version for a while, but that didnt quite work so I kept it like this after all. Instead, I added "Yummy" first because of the pun and second because it's a fun idea.

    Yuumi is the biggest mistake Riot has ever made, prove me wrong

    Posted: 20 May 2020 08:33 PM PDT

    Nothing says fun like playing against an utterly unkillable juggernaut with Yuumi permanently perched on top of them. Just finished a game in which an Urgot with Conqueror, Death's Dance, Spirit Visage and Yuumi was basically winning 1v5 the entire time. Everyone on our team had a way to apply Grievous Wounds, but no amount of Grievous Wounds in the world is enough to put a dent in all that healing.

    There seriously needs to be a way to force Yuumi off of whoever she's attached to. Or at least make her share the CC that her host gets hit by so you can CC-chain them to death. I know that Mordekaiser's ult gets her off, but that's not exactly the most applicable counterplay (and it probably involves Morde trying to 1v1 a most likely fed Garen, Nasus, Yorick or whatever, which is a crapshoot as well).

    Movement speed is completely underrated.

    As long as my team doesn't int too hard I can go back to shop, sell all my items and buy nothing but movement speed and make it to the enemy fountain before enemy finishes. They won the battle but you won the race.
