Viego aka the Ruined King aka the League's newest spectral heartthrob fades onto the Rift on 11.2! His passive lets you take over the nearest dead enemy champion's body and hooo boy can he take advantage of that fed enemy Vayne Tumbling a Teemo too far forwards.

Kraken Slayer is absurdly broken and inconsistent, and the upcoming changes don't fix that. Posted: 12 Jan 2021 03:12 PM PST For anyone who doesn't know, in League there's a difference between on-hit and on-attack effects. On-hit effects are (mostly) just damage, and things like Wit's End, Kog W, Vayne bolts, Sheen procs, and Ashe slow are on-hit effects. On-attack effects are things that happen when you complete a basic attack windup, and generally include "fancier" effects. Things like Runaan's Bolts, Pix, and Kayle's damage waves are on-attack effects. A number of spells that apply on-hit effects also apply on-attack effects, like Ezreal's Q and Yasuo/Yone Q. Now, with the exception of Kraken Slayer, everything behaves consistently. This does lead to some results most people wouldn't expect, but reading about on-hit/on-attack effects can explain the results. For example, Ezreal can shoot Runaan's bolts with his Q (even though they are still limited by his basic attack range). And then along comes Kraken Slayer. It makes, legitimately, no fucking sense. It doesn't interact at all with Guinsoo's or Runaan's. Okay, fair enough. Maybe it's an on-attack effect? On-attack effects don't interact with those items. But, as everyone surely knows by now, Katarina applies Kraken Slayer way too fast. For anyone who doesn't know how the interaction works, for each enemy hit by each tick of her ult or by her passive daggers, she gets a Kraken Slayer stack. That means if she hits 3 people at once with her ult, the first two people give her stacks and the third person consumes the stacks to deal true damage. This means that each tick of her ult can potentially do Kraken Slayer's true damage, and it ticks like a billion times a second for a grand total of three billion true damage. The most infuriating thing, however, is that her ult/daggers do not apply on-attack effects. They only apply on-hit effects, so the Kraken Slayer interaction means that stacks are being generated on-hit. This is also true for other melee champs. I tested it on things like Pantheon and Irelia; Irelia's Q gives her a stack, and Panth's triple attack will give him three stacks (dealing the true damage). Again, though, these abilities don't apply on-attack effects, only on-hit effects. The wiki says that Kraken Slayer applies on-hit for attacks without projectiles, and on-attack for attacks with projectiles. This could explain it, as Kat/Panth/Irelia are all melee and don't use projectiles. IMO, it would be a really bizarre and unintuitive explanation, but at least it would be an explanation. However, that statement isn't even entirely true. Senna Q, which applies on-hit but not on-attack effects, generates stacks, but only once, regardless of how many targets are hit. ?????????????? Senna's autos don't use projectiles, so to be consistent with Katarina, each target hit should generate a stack. MF Q, which applies both on-hit and on-attack effects to the first target and only on-hit to the second, generates two Kraken Slayer stacks. It should only generate one. Meanwhile, Twitch ult and Kayle E (both of which modify basic attacks to apply on-hit effects in an area) only generate one stack, regardless of targets hit. Aphelios's "fake autos," (the ones from his ult and flamethrower Q), which also apply on-hit but not on-attack effects, each generate a stack. This means if he hits 3 people with his ult/flamethrower Q, he instantly procs Kraken. Again, to be consistent, they shouldn't generate any stacks. Same thing applies to his heal-gun Q (the one where he attacks a lot): the attacks don't apply on-attack effects, so they shouldn't proc Kraken Slayer at all. Except maybe they should, because his heal-gun doesn't use projectiles? I'm honestly not sure about this one. Sidenote, his heal-gun Q is also really inconsistent. It sometimes doesn't apply on-hit effects at all, and it stacks energized attacks (energized stacks are generated on-attack, so they shouldn't be stacked). This is confusing, bizarre, inconsistent, and leads to a ton of broken interactions (ie Katarina). IMO, they should make Kraken Slayer an on-attack effect, which would make it more consistent with other 3-hit items (Guinsoo's), fix Katarina, and generally prevent abuse. But, at the very least, it should be consistent. What we have now is definitely not that. TL;DR: Kraken Slayer behaves super inconsistently regarding on-hit and on-attack effects. It should just be an on-attack effect. submitted by /u/Shaheenthebean [link] [comments]

[Comic] I drew a comic about trying to assassinate a fed carry Posted: 12 Jan 2021 08:16 AM PST After a surprisingly long game of League, it's come down to a final teamfight. The enemy Ashe is super fed but also super immobile. And a certain speedy assassin plans to take advantage of that. ​ Would strongly recommend using Imgur's old design to view this (the new design destroys the image quality). Feel free to zoom in for a crisper resolution, and please read left-to-right. https://imgur.com/a/ue3yJgH?nc=1 ​ Feedback always welcome! I also have a Twitter where I post other drawings: https://twitter.com/noKone4 ​ https://preview.redd.it/ucsdbn73dxa61.png?width=1100&format=png&auto=webp&s=31ed8321972d5d2c074c67639fbc0ff40c2b2e64 submitted by /u/noKone [link] [comments]

Froskurinn will not be a part of the LEC next split Posted: 12 Jan 2021 03:04 AM PST https://twitter.com/Froskurinn/status/1348948297122246659 I have decided not to re-sign with the LEC for the 2021 season. I cannot reveal the next steps yet, but I've always felt strongly about moving into management and development positions. I wish the LEC broadcast, teams, and fans the very best. I absolutely loved it there. in an incredible act of self-irony, I will post her words about reddit here: Ahhh one last reddit hate thread. Nice. I gave you so much of my life and effort and it was never worth it to try for your acceptance. You don't know anything, you torture players and personalities. You truly are - and I mean this - the worst aspect of this incredible community. submitted by /u/Aromatic_Reindeer [link] [comments]

Multiple CLG members catch COVID, experiencing visa issues. Solo and Griffin (Wiggily) for Lock In Posted: 12 Jan 2021 05:00 PM PST submitted by /u/Nick_Geracie [link] [comments]

Ruined skinline has been confirmed as canon Posted: 12 Jan 2021 07:59 AM PST So, turns out Viego really did capture Karma, Shyvana and Draven. tweet link: https://twitter.com/notquitefrodo/status/1348890186248187906 While I was a bit torn initially, I like that they are advancing the plot through skins. Their skin bios indicate they weren't killed, but they were 'ruined'. In other words, they are corrupted/possessed by Veigo and it's a situation that can (and hopefully will) be reversed. submitted by /u/Garretz [link] [comments]

Making Zed Mad Posted: 12 Jan 2021 03:07 PM PST submitted by /u/G3tBard3d [link] [comments]

Clash should allow bench players Posted: 12 Jan 2021 08:05 AM PST Assembling a team is hard enough and some people are not sure wether they can commit to the time window or not. Sometimes games can get really tiring or sometimes players can only play 2 matches or so. So Clash should allow teams to recruit players on the bench and field five players before each match. The enemy team can then scout those fielded players and not worry about the benched ones so there wouldn't be extra work for them. What do you think of the idea? Should all players be rewarded too? I think if benched worlds players get their skins and glory for the worlds title then it should be fair that all players would get items no? submitted by /u/yasumasa [link] [comments]

Champions That Scale in S11 Posted: 11 Jan 2021 07:52 PM PST This post is mainly for new players. I have seen a lot of misconceptions about champions that scale. For example, I have seen the following included in lists of scaling champions: Vladimir, Nasus, and Vayne. None of these champions scale. I have spent many, many hours perusing the literally thousands of champions in league, in order to find the champions that scale, so that you don't have to. ​ In summation, here is a comprehensive list of the champions that scale in league of legends: renekton https://preview.redd.it/gptu79snota61.jpg?width=1215&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de34270fc1b6097b6add5293afa6663185fc1587 cassiopeia https://preview.redd.it/8hxdsaqsota61.jpg?width=1215&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=967721364e039246b42bad672e93e33573cca28d rammus https://preview.redd.it/84w1nqytota61.jpg?width=1215&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e78f217b96a712d192861ae1a4f3371996cee235 And that's it. But which one scales the hardest? Well, that would be rammus. His scales are very hard which is why he is so hard to kill. Please let me know if I missed any. And please do not try to troll me by trying to convince me that jax or kayle scale! They don't. I checked. submitted by /u/A_Deadly_Sloth [link] [comments]

Glorious Champion Capsules are not given beyond level 1000 Posted: 11 Jan 2021 11:46 PM PST This is a repeat post but I intend to repeat it until it's heard by officials. Once an account has reached level 1000, it stops getting glorious champion capsules at 10 and 25 level milestones like it should. And before anyone says "you don't get GCC at 25 level intervals, you DO because it counts as border upgrade milestones EVEN THOUGH you get past level 500 where border upgrades stop. I'm currently at level 1083 and I'm missing my 1075 and 1080 level GCC's. submitted by /u/Sandyclawz9317 [link] [comments]

Hextech crafting is frustratingly slow Posted: 12 Jan 2021 06:42 AM PST They need to speed up the process like having the option to remove the animation and/or being able to craft/shard multiple copies of the same element at the same time. Like I had 19 token event and after doing the 10 for 100 token I had to do it 9 different times to get 90 blue shards... And seeing the animation 10 times... How rewarding.. I bet a lot of you have a shit load of champion shard sitting there, waiting for the next chroma emporium to painfully slowly get shared. submitted by /u/FulminatorMage [link] [comments]

Broxah/Finn might be having visa issues for LCS (replaced by Solo and Keel) Posted: 12 Jan 2021 04:29 AM PST https://mobile.twitter.com/Shakarez/status/1348968381010096128 As posted by Shakarez, Keel and Solo were just added in the GCD to CLG. Doesn't specify if it's academy or main team but given how multiple teams are having visa issues right now and Finn was streaming in Europe just this week it seems like CLG might be running substitutes for the opening tournament Also sucks for Broxah that this shit happens again after last year submitted by /u/zkfq [link] [comments]

Why was AD Katarina allowed? It's literally the same as AP Katarina Posted: 12 Jan 2021 02:19 PM PST Okay lemme explain. Back then in 2018, Riot August, a rioter that reverted Rengar's Q back to the old one, decided to add AP ratios in Rengar's kit. He experimented with it, he wanted to make AP Rengar a thing. But THEN he chose not to, because, him saying, "it was still the same playstyle as the AD" , that was the reason AP Rengar was never allowed. So here i am, waiting for the answer on WHY tf is AD KATARINA allowed when it does exactly the same thing as AP KATARINA. - Riot's comment about this submitted by /u/Ryo_Marufuji [link] [comments]

Rell's ultimate should be a ground Posted: 12 Jan 2021 11:48 AM PST I've been enjoying Rell for the past couple days, but honestly the ultimate feels kind of lackluster with the amount of mobility in the game. Enemies can dash, flash, or even just walk out of your ultimate, so it's impact feels even weaker. The typical Riot thing to do would be to just buff it's damage or something, but honestly, to give the ability and the champ some identity, I think giving the Ult AoE a ground would work quite well. It might be broken but nerfing the duration as compensation would be an option to consider too. A ground on Ult would mean enemies which you ult most likely stay in your ult, as escape is now way harder, and the whole "Iron Maiden" with metal and magnetic abilities character they tried with creating Rell would feel more fitting with an Ult that actually doesn't let people go submitted by /u/paeddym [link] [comments]
