    League of Legends Free Talk Tuesday - August 4th!


    Free Talk Tuesday - August 4th!

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 01:19 AM PDT

    What's up, /r/leagueoflegends? IcyColdStare here with this week's edition of our Free Talk thread - hope you've all had a good weekend!

    The Spirit Blossom event is in full swing! With visual novel-esque dialogues, bone-crushing conversations and strangely-appropriate disrobing (yes, I'm serious) there's a ton of fun stuff to do with the Spirit Bonds section of the client! If you haven't read some of these interactions, I seriously recommend them - they're a treat to go through! I've gotten to S+ with Riven and Vayne so far - what about y'all?

    Speaking of the Spirit Blossom event - Yasuo 2: Electric Boogaloo aka Yone, The Unforgotten is making his way onto the Rift on the 6th! I can't wait to mess around with him once he hits live, as someone who loves champions who just bleed crazy complexity and combos he seems like he's right up my alley! What do you folks think about The Unforgotten?

    That's it from me for this week! Gonna toss that Swirlseed right over and let you peeps get to chattin'. Remember to abide by our FTT rules, of course; talk shop, play nice and as always, have a good week!

    How did this happen? What are the odds? I can't even comprehend how unlikely it is to actually do such a thing. I wonder how surprised the players actually were.

    Riot’s Taking a Week Off

    Chatting is way more fun when you replace the champion names with what they are

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 03:17 AM PDT

    You want your Yuumi to create a higher amount of vision for your team?

    cat plz ward

    You want Wukong to help out on your lane while you recall?

    ape plz hold

    You need an additional companion for doing Herald? Ask your toplane Nasus with a friendly

    dog plz help

    Your GP is a coward?

    pirate plz attack

    If there are multiple champions on your team that could fit into one category, you can prevent confusion by adding an additional qualifier.

    For example, if you have a Yuumi, Nida and Rengar (and don't know that Nida is a cougar), just say:

    book cat plz heal

    spear cat plz heal

    bola cat plz delete heal

    Similar stuff with humans wielding blades. If you can't call them with "swordsman", just use these:

    running swordsman plz don't gank (Yi)

    angry swordsman plz buy crit (Tryndamere)

    carousel swordsman plz play def (Garen)

    And, of course:

    idiot plz uninstall (Yasuo)

    other idiot plz uninstall (Yone)

    plz report caster minion (enemy Veigar)

    Thanks for letting me waste your time and have fun with this exciting new way to communicate! internet plz approve

    EDIT: I can't believe I have to clarify this, but of course "ape" and "dog" can be interpreted as toxic, so don't say those to random teammates. You can now stop writing comments about this.

    The Odyssey Event some years ago had the best Event Rewards.

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 07:06 AM PDT

    This is something that recently came into my mind when looking back at all the Events.

    For those that are not familiar: The Odyssey Event consisted of a skin line along with a new Gamemode where you had several missions tied to it. The Gamemode was PvE oriented and the goal was to defeat several enemies and a Boss in a team consisting of five champions with new unique aspects called Augment. Sona for example could take an Augment that would let her shoot her Ultimate in a more or less circle. There was no limitation when it came to Champion Combination and as such, you could have practically went 5 Sonas for example.

    This Gamemode had a mission line that was available to everyone, as frequent Passes were not introduced yet. As such, you started with a small mission where you just had to finish the Introduction. After that, you had to continue with new difficulties such as Normal and Hard.

    However, there were also some very unique missions with great rewards attached to it. As far as I can remember, you had to clear one of the harder difficulties with a team consisting of only Sonas in order to get an Event Orb.

    The best mission line was the one that was attached to the Use of Augments. You had to clear the hardest difficulty with a limited amount of Augments. For example, the first mission in this line required the use of only 4 Augments or fewer in order to get the Reward of a Skin-Shard and Border. The most difficult mission only allows 2 Augments, but gave you a "Odyssey Gem" and a extremely rare Icon. The Gem is similar to the 1-3% Jackpots you receive nowadays when you open an Event Orb.

    The Gem gave you different options that you could turn it into, for example a Revel Bag that gave you a Skin Shard of every Rarity (520 to 1820) or a Birdie Bag that could give you the line-up of a Skin Series in the form of shards (All Pool-Party Skins for example).

    When doing all the missions, you receive: 1 Event Orb, 1 Mystery Emote, several Event Icons (different rarity), several Event Emotes (different rarity), Skin-Shard with a Border, Blue Essence, 1 Ward Skin and for those that finished the hardest mission, the Odyssey Gem.

    Of course you also received some Event Tokens both in the Gamemode and normal Summoners Rift, enough to craft several Borders or whatever you wanted from the Event shop by just playing the Game. Borders during these Event were 80 Tokens each and you got 300 I think just from playing.

    Even though the Gamemode was unpopular after just some time, it still had some great rewards attached to it, which made it feel like a real Event with Challenges. Nowadays, the Events are focussed around playing the Game, doing the requirements for the missions and then having enough Tokens for maybe 1 Border and some Keyfragments (Or paying for a Pass in order to get more tokens the more you play).

    I will try to win any argument you make about League, even if you’re obviously right.

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 01:36 AM PDT

    Title says it all.

    I wanna test myself today, mainly because I'm bored. You can write any argument about anything that is related to League of Legends and I will try to either win the argument, or make you skeptical about yours. Give me your hardest ones and don't forget that this is supposed to be a fun thing. Don't make it a hate/offensive discussion! Let the games begin.

    I miss Trinimortal, one of the only Positive Yasuo mains this community ever had.

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 11:38 AM PDT

    The man was hilarious, creative, talented, funny as hell, and had some amazing videos over on his YT channel.

    He wasn't a high elo guy, he was just your everyday goofball that liked his weeby champions and had fun with his friends. He wasn't some toxic over the top streamer that bullied kids by looking at their accounts through OPGG and talking shit to them. He just wanted big ass anime moments in his games, and I appreciate that. Hell, he even had his own "Story Arcs" in his videos about liking even more horrendous champions than Yasuo.

    He doesn't play League anymore, not for Yasuo, not for Yone, not even for Spirit Blossom which was a Goddammed Dating Sim Parody. He doesn't enjoy it, and it doesn't help his mental health, so he quit. Its a shame too.

    This community needs more personalities like his hitting the front page; every other day its Dom or TFBlade or Yasuo or some other Toxic streamer getting called out for some shit they've said. Where just some folks having fun? Isn't that the point of Video Games anyways?

    I just wanna say I miss the guy, I miss his humor, the energy and, for a time, the positivity he brought to this community. I'm happy he's not as stressed about this game by not playing it, but I miss you; you dancing goofball. :(

    Ezreal has now overtaken Miss fortune as the champion with the most skins.

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 01:23 PM PDT

    So as we know, Miss fortune has 14 skins and currently has the most skins in the game.

    But with the new Ezreal skin accompanied with the Prestige, Ezreal now has 15 skins.

    Ezreal has taken the championship belt from Miss fortune and is now the champion with the most skin.

    Pros losing to shopkeeper again (Senna math)

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 06:52 AM PDT

    Pros losing to shopkeeper again (Senna math)

    Hi, I'm InvertedDisciple, back with some more math. So lately I've seen a few pros buying IE as their last/second last item on Senna. So I decided to do some math to see if IE was the best item to buy or if there was a better option. The item I'm going to compare it to is Dominik's.

    The builds I'm comparing are.

    https://preview.redd.it/3anwegg8iye51.png?width=673&format=png&auto=webp&s=d3b751f906c0beda8b4d2bc2fe010c55330ab280

    Scroll down for TL;DR

    In this math Senna is level 16 and she has 100 souls. The target I'm using is a level 16 Aphelios with no bonus armor. At level 16 Aphelios has 71 armor and Duskblade gives 20 armor pen meaning that vs the IE build Aphelios effectively has 51 armor and takes 33.8% reduced damage from physical.

    With the Dominik's build Aphelios armor is reduced by 35% and then by 20 flat armor which means he effectively has 26 armor, giving him 20.6% reduced damage from physical.

    Aphelios has 1804 health and Sennas passive deals 16% current health meaning it deals 8% max health on average so 1804*0.08=144

    https://preview.redd.it/aslhqeifhye51.png?width=411&format=png&auto=webp&s=2393ed4e952088e9a84a2bbf49989cbb4c566415

    Before we get into the damage math I need to talk about how crit interacts with Senna. Sennas crits deal 130% damage instead of 200% like a normal crit. IE increases Sennas crit damage to 146.25%. What this means is that Sennas crit multiplier with IE is

    0.4625*crit/100+1=0.4625*1+1=1.4625

    Duskblade proc

    Dominik's

    136*0.792=108

    IE

    136*0.662=90

    Dominik's deals 20% more damage with your Duskblade proc

    Passive damage (soul proc)

    Dominik's

    144*0.792=114

    IE

    144*0.662=95

    Dominik's deals 20% more damage with your passive.

    Auto damage

    Dominik's

    (329*1.3+146)*0.792=454

    IE

    (364*1.4625+153)*0.662=454

    Dominik's and IE deal the same amount of damage.

    Q damage

    Dominik's

    (272+146)*0.792=331

    IE

    (286+153)*0.662=291

    Dominik's deals 13.7% more damage with your Q.

    W damage

    Dominik's

    445*0.792=352

    IE

    470*0.662=311

    Dominiks deals 13.2% more damage with your W.

    R damage

    Dominik's

    779*0.792=617

    IE

    814*0.662=539

    Dominik's deals 14.5% more damage with your R.

    Now that we've looked at the damage math let's look at some other variables. IE gives 14 more healing on Q (+19 from lifesteal) and 14 more shielding on R. It also gives 8.75% lifesteal from your passive since you overcap your crit by 25%.

    This means that your autos heal you for 364*1.4625*0.662*0.0875=31.

    TL;DR

    In this math Senna is level 16 with 100 souls and the target she is attacking is a level 16 Aphelios with 0 bonus armor, health and MR. Against targets with higher armor the numbers for Dominik's get even better.

    Remember that even squishy champs like ADCs and mages often build some armor like Death's Dance or Zhonyas. In those cases the damage numbers will be even better than the numbers shown below.

    Dominik's costs 600 less gold than IE

    Duskblade proc deals 20% more damage with Dominik's

    Passive soul proc deals 20% more damage with Dominik's

    Autos deal the same amount of damage with both items.

    Q deals 13.7% more damage with Dominik's

    W deals 13.2% more damage with Dominik's

    R deals 14.5% more damage with Dominik's

    All out combo (all abilities and item procs+1 auto) deals 10.5% more damage with Dominik's

    Q heals for 33 more with IE (14 from ad ratio and 19 from lifesteal) (20 vs healing reduction)

    R shields for 14 more with IE

    Autos heal for 31 health with IE due to Senna passive converting overcapped crit to lifsteal. (19 vs healing reduction)

    Bonus math

    In this part I'm going to show you what the difference between the two items is if I add 17 AD to Dominik's since 17 AD is worth 605 gold making it so both Items are worth almost the same amount of gold.

    Autos deal 4.6% more damage with Dominik's

    Q deals 16.5% more damage with Dominik's

    W deals 16.4% more damage with Dominik's

    R deals 16.9% more damage with Dominik's

    All out combo (all abilities and item procs+1 auto) deals 13.3% more damage with Dominik's

    Q heals for 25 more with IE (6 from ad ratio and 19 from lifesteal) (15 vs healing reduction)

    R Shields for 6 more with IE

    Autos heal for 31 health with IE due to Senna passive converting overcapped crit to lifsteal. (19 vs healing reduction)

    Psy Ops skins have a second wave

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 02:38 PM PDT

    according to SkinSpotlights. Sona's VO mentions Voli, Viktor, Kayle, Zed, Pyke and Samira

    I think these will be the BRG skins that the icon leaked for

    edit: THE EMOTE ON THE PBE THAT LOOKS LIKE SAMIRA, ACTUALLY IS NOT SAMIRA

    Mordekaiser's Q is the most humiliating ability to die to.

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 11:09 AM PDT

    Morde's Q is the perfect combination effects to make people feel like trash.

    The wind up hurts. You can see where it's gonna hit. You can see Morde wind the mace up ready to end your whole life. When it's coming it's inevitable and you have to sit there and watch yourself die to this slow ability.

    Then it comes. Resonating in your headset. "BONK" the sound of metal slapping your soul into dust. Morde's Q sounds like sound took an electric guitar made of metal and tore a riff while slamming their guitar into a tuning fork shaped like an enemy champion. You see the wind up and then you hear the sound and it's over.

    The worst part is the effects. His mace gets so big it looks like you're getting fly swatted. It looks like you're being deleted from the servers. And then the effects last so long, when you finally get to look at your dead character. You're either raw flattened on the ground or dissipated into thin air because the Q's visual effects last so long. When you get Q'd to death you're just gone. No death theatrics just raw deleted from the Rift.

    With the new PsyOPS skin line on the PBE, we now have 9 different tech/mech themes

    Battlecast, Hextech, Mecha, Mecha Kingdoms, PROGRAM, Project, Pulsefire, Praetorian, and PsyOPS

    What do you guys want the 10th mech theme to be and also when do you think Riot will come up with something other than robot/light/dark/ice/space themed skins?

    Lore Power Level Analysis: Lillia, the Bashful Bloom

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 03:25 PM PDT

    Well this got set back. What's up ladies and gentlemen, I am the one and only Hyper10sion! You might know me as the lore power levels guy. Today, YES TODAY, we take a look at the powers and abilities of the newest addition to the League of Legends roster, Lillia.
    Everyone knows how this is going to go at this point. I am going to analyze Lillia in five categories: Makeup, Physical Abilities, Magical Abilities, Weaknesses, and Feats. I will then place her into one of my five tiers (which can be found at the bottom of this post), explaining the placement as well, while covering any other updates to the tier list that didn't merit an entire assessment.
    Also before we get started I will put all of my sources here.
    Bio
    The Garden of Dreaming

     

    Lillia, the Bashful Bloom

    Makeup/Background: Lillia is a nature spirit, what effectively amounts to a dryad from real world mythology. Her form is very similar to the mythical centaur, except with the bottom half of a deer rather than a horse. Given her lineage, she is technically the granddaughter of Ivern, as she is the child of a God-Willow seedling. Lillia was mostly kept away from the world of mortals, outside of viewing their dreams. Physically, Lillia is closest to a mix between spirit and a vastaya, and possesses no real notable qualities sans her deer-centaur status.

    Physical Abilities: Lillia's physical abilities are largely left unsaid in the content delivered thus far. However if we assume she has the same running speed as your average white tailed deer as a child, she's still capable of 48 kph top speed, or 30 mph for the Americans. She would also be able to leap about three meters in a single bound, around ten feet. Other than the simple fact of being half deer, Lillia is rather unremarkable physically, sans that atrocious accent.

    Magical Abilities: Magical prowess may be Lillia's strong suit, but there's a catch. We actually haven't been shown much of her overall power, but what we have been presented with is simple yet incredibly robust. Lillia can magically make those around her fall asleep, with no defined range. It is fair to assume that there is a small quantifiable limit to this power, but overall it doesn't change the useful skill. The other notable ability of Lillia is to cause short term memory erasure in those she has put to sleep. In combat, this could be absolutely devastating, confusing the enemy after rendering them unable to fight in the first place. These two abilities are the extent of her magical power we have seen used practically, but remain very powerful on their own.

    Weaknesses: Lillia appears to have the same physical weakness of most mortal creatures. She also is rather inexperienced in a combat setting, and fairly naive about most other sentient creatures.

    Feats: Lillia is a grandchild of the original God-Willow that Ivern combined with, has put numerous enemies to sleep in a sizable area all at once, and then wiped their memories of recent events in moments.

    Summary:

    Lillia is an interesting specimen as far as champions go. She's uplifted by the sheer amount of practical use in her two exhibited magical abilities, and has some physical specialties to boot. She seems to be a safe placement within the Magus tier.

    Tier: Magus

     

    This was significantly delayed by a myriad of real life factors, apologies for that. I'm happy to get this finally out. I'll see you guys in the comments.

    Lore Updates

    I WAS RIGHT

    While these are not actual updates, these are more just confirmations of information I have been pushing for years.
    Bard is now confirmed to potentially be the oldest and most powerful champion in the League of Legends Lore. He is far older than the first stars ever created, and can fashion his physical form to his liking. The meeps are no longer a true race of servants to him, but beings given life by the energy given off between stars. His dimension hopping powers have thankfully been retained. He gives Aurelion Sol a strong fight for that top spot.
    Zoe is confirmed to not only be separate from Myisha, the Aspect of Twilight featured in Twilight of the Gods, but also to be at least 1400 years old, as she is far older than Mordekaiser. She is also specified to be friends with Aurelion Sol, NOT to be more powerful than him. She simply protects him from the backlash he would receive by fighting the Targonian crown on his head.
    Nautilus has been kinda confirmed to be about the size I previously estimated in canon lore that supersedes LOR, and now is also confirmed to be the Runeterran version of Davy Jones. The size confirmation comes from Dead in the Water where he manages to sink a brigantine, a ship on average about 30.5 meters, or 100 feet, in length. His anchor doesn't quite cut the ship in half as it would if he were far larger.
    This confusion comes from his LOR cards where he would be much larger, as seen by the hammerhead shark and giant squid being dwarfed by him. But LOR is considered soft canon, so the main lore takes priority.
    But one thing is clear: You don't pay the tithe, you pay the price. Nautilus is your 12 meter tax collector here to drag you to the ocean floor. Oh yeah he can now float using the magic of Nagakabouros, so there's that.

    That's it for the updates! Check back either next week or the week after for the Yone power level analysis!

    Here is the updated Tiermaker
    And here are the rest of the tiers for this cycle of lore: Cosmic, Transcended, Harbinger, Magus, and Mortal
