    KDA has become progressively more cringey as it has gone on, and now we are reaching peak levels.

    The music videos and stuff were cool, same with the skins and the music itself. But now we're getting these weird "interviews" with the characters, and it's just getting more and more cringey to me.

    Take this Akali one for example. Using a different voice actress than both the singer or her in game character, she sounds like a 13 year old trying to sound cool. The animation on all of these is getting worse and worse, she looks like an animated Ps2 character. I legitimately think they are using some form of the face-tracking webcam software that just places a 3D character over someone else, that's how bad it looks.

    And don't get me started with the poorly photoshopped people using hand drawn KDA heads. And yes, this is from the official KDA website, not fan made. I can't see how that was approved by anyone to post, it looks so bad. I really thought all of the videos and posts I have been seeing were fan made, but nope, Riot is responsible for them.

    EDIT: FOR THE BLIND WHO CAN'T TELL A BAD PHOTOSHOP WHEN THEY SEE ONE

    EDIT: I GUESS YA'LL GONNA SAY THIS ISN'T A BAD PHOTOSHOP JOB EITHER, HUH?

    I liked KDA and what it started out as, and I still do to an extent, but this just seems super desperate to appeal to a younger audience and it's comical to me.

    Edit: since there are apparently an abundant number of people who have poor reading comprehension, I want to elaborate on this point even though I shouldn't have to: it's the QUALITY of the content, NOT THE CONTENT ITSELF.

    Saying "this isn't made for you, it's for KDA fans" doesn't even apply, because I said I liked KDA right out the gate. It's the poorly made videos and promos that are bothersome, not because of what it is, but because it looks so rushed and thrown together last second for a cash grab that it's almost insulting to people who legitimately enjoyed it. As a KDA fan I AM THE INTENDED AUDIENCE and what is being made SUCKS.

    Edit 2: everyone who keeps saying the "drawing" doesn't look bad, look closer. That's a photo of a real person with Akali's head photoshopped on it. Look how much bigger her head proportionately to the body. Now notice the hand drawn art style of the head vs. everything else. That's not a full drawing, it's just her head.

    Man editing Wukong into all of Seraphines photos

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 09:24 AM PST

    I've never posted before but just wanted to pull attention towards a Twitter page I found while scrolling through the seraphine tag. I'm dumbfounded he has posted over 50 tweets and shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. On one hand, I find it rather funny but on the other, I feel concerned for the mental state of this man https://twitter.com/seraphineswu

    How can Aurelion Sol/Taliyah still gutted, while other roeaming mid laners are still accepted ?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 05:29 AM PST

    Title says it all.

    The problem is that it was officially announced that Taliyah is unpopular and it results in cutting every Taliyah content by promising some small but long well deserved buffs on PBE only to cut them on the next day while announcing Rell had interactions with her only being Cut because Taliyah is unpopular.

    For Aurelion the developers provided weak laning phase after rework to put him on leash for his E Comet of Legend exists. The powerspike on the champion hits after 2 itmes where, most gams, usually decided already so your impact as Sol is minimal because most of your teammates, no matter what elo, just don't care about your roaming.

    Katarina is one of the most oppressive mid laners now who shoves and roams asap. Nunu mid a was thing in s10 for quite long and he was showing and roaming (know 2 guys who went from gold 4 to diamond 4 by one tricking nunu mid till they could). TF just roams without the need to shove the lane. Talon has the fastest roaming ability in game and still a decent midlaner.

    Read this post about Sol, written by DiabloV2 who who is perhaps the highest level and best Aurelion Sol player.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Aurelion_Sol_mains/comments/jxr8hd/the_inconsistency_of_aurelion_sol/

    I would like to clarify that Both these champion Right now feels like mid lane supports without any significant advantage over any other champion in game that makes them worth picking.

    If we no longer want/need roaming mages then delete their roaming potential and swap it up into some laning mechanics and gives us back our beloved champions.

    Sol was reworked more than a year ago and Taliyah got zero changes since 2 years.

    I'm asking for corrections here and small changes to these guys to make them more viable and make them worth playing.

    Mages building Muramana wouldn't be a problem if Seraph's Embrace wasn't so awful

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 09:00 AM PST

    Seriously, how does the mana item for mages, the ones more likely to want something like Ability Haste, doesn't get that? AP and mana isn't bad, but it sure as hell isn't enough for that item. Besides, the reason Muramana has that stat is probably because of champions like Ezreal and Corki, whose damage comes from using abilities a lot, but now they're also getting nerfed because the item will no longer proc on their abilities that deal magic damage. The answer to this issue isn't to nerf Muramana, what should happen is a buff to Seraph.

    Essence Reaver should be the 4th ADC Mythic

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 06:07 AM PST

    Let me start this off by saying that I KNOW that noone is forcing me to buy a Mythic item first item, but not building one at all is obviously not very efficient, so let's just look over some points why I think Essence reaver should be a Mythic:

    • Essence Reaver has always been an early game item you rush to win lane. The mana restoration and CDR (now haste) support aggressive and proactive play in the early-midgame. Mythics are USUALLY the first item to rush, so it would only make sense to have ER as a Mythic option.
    • There is no Spell Haste Mythic for ADCs. ADCs are focused a lot on basic attacks, but their primary identity is sustained damage. Spellhaste + mana is also a ways to fullfill this fantasy of never running out of damage to deal.
    • The ADCs that like ER don't really love the 3 existing Mythics too much. Xayah and Sivir are currently not very good, other spell-based ADCs are getting either Eclipse, or are Ezreal. Lucian is fine because his passive has good synergy with Kraken Slayer.
    • Almost noone is buying Essence Reaver in it's current form.
    • Lethality builds for ADCs are fine and continue to exist, but it's quite obvious how these items are not designed for them and an actual combination of crit + spells shouldn't be discontinues as viable playstyle.

    Ardent Censer build path is being nerfed on the PBE, and Riot is claiming it as a buff.

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 09:40 AM PST

    Ardent Censer currently builds out of Forbidden Idol (800g) and Blasting Wand (850g), +650g combine cost.

    Players have complained that the build path sucks because blasting wand as a base component is really expensive for supports. We rarely have the luxury of sitting on 850g+ on a recall, especially since we build ardent censer after our mythic, so our gold generation item has stopped at this point.

    Riot responded by changing the build path to include two amplifying tomes.

    However, by the time supports build an ardent censer, their inventory looks like this:

    1. Gold Generation Item
    2. Mythic
    3. Boots
    4. Control Wards slot
    5. Forbidden Idol (building towards Ardent Censer)
    6. Amplifying tome (building towards Ardent Censer)

    This means we will have to wait for 1065g (combine cost + amplifying tome that we can't buy) to complete ardent censer. We can't make use of the second amplifying tome in the build path, so the PBE build path is worse than live.

    Ardent Censer lost 8% MS and 10% CDR since last season, and the cost is unchanged.

    Enchanters other than Janna are struggling hard to keep up with the huge amounts of movement speed available to everyone.

    An easy solution would be reintroducing aether wisp or fiendish codex as an ardent censer component.

    Third Amazon Prime Skin Shard - Now Available

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 09:01 AM PST

    Resistance Jayce appears when you search for "Elf" in the shop.

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 03:45 PM PST

    This is just really strange, man.

    Possibility that Jayce's skin was originally planned for Snowdown but they cancelled it for whatever reason? This is just really confusing as nothing of this sort happens for any other skin in the game.

    Cloud 9 Academy Roster Announcement

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 05:44 PM PST

    "Our most stacked Academy team ever. Please welcome #C9ACADEMY, the 2021 #LCS Cloud9 Academy team! #C9WIN"

    Top: Darshan

    JG: Shernfire

    Mid: Copy

    ADC: K1ng

    Support: Isles

    https://twitter.com/Cloud9/status/1334664349026316290

    Personally, probably a solid contender for top 2 in academy. K1ng returns after a dominant performance in 2020 Spring, Shernfire w/ another chance in academy, Copy getting a shot after his run with 100 Thieves Next, and Darshan to guide the team in Academy.

    After this signing, this also means that everyone from 100 Thieves Next landed on an Academy roster after the 2020 season.

    C9 - Copy

    100T - Poome, Kenvi, and Tenacity

    FLY - NXI

    TL - Yeon

    CLG - Auto

    Can't wait for 2021 Academy!
