    Alistar flashes to take a bullet for Samira.

    [16 FANARTS] All my Ahri fanarts.

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 07:22 AM PST

    [16 FANARTS] All my Ahri fanarts.

    I wanted to make a compilation of all my fanarts about this character, Ahri. She has always been a source of inspiration and experimentation for me.

    Here are all the drawings I have made of her throughout this year, the most recent being that she has another caption. This first one will be perhaps the best known, but I have added new ones and some others that I have not published.

    More LoL art Twitter and Instagram

    What is your favorite?

    Today I wanted to experiment a little with the classic styles of painting to make a sketch adapted to the character of Ahri. I've taken as spiritual reference the version of Ahri KDA, in order to better implement her with this theme. The idea is to be able to transmit the 'old school' feeling in this one to make a good crossover between fiction-reality.

    I call this something like 'Messy sketch', I hope you like it.

    We need a Kog'Champ emote

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 07:37 AM PST

    so, Pog champ was removed from twitch, and we are left without a way to express ourselves.

    Yes, it has its subtitutes, but they're not like the original.

    We need a Kog'Champ emote. there's nothing else that needs to be said.

    (We can also have a Pog'Maw skin, where he has the face of the old pog instead of kog'maw, Either one would be great)

    Frosk on diversity in LEC.

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 01:32 AM PST

    Froskurinn on Twitter:

    As always, very excited for the #LEC to begin and watch my peers continue to thrive. That team is fucking amazing.

    That said, we really need to talk diversity in esports broadcasts because holy shit that is a lot of white. Just blindingly white. As far as the eye can see: white.

    I really disagree with this take. First of all why does she have to bring politics and race into it? Does she know that europe is not like america where every white/black etc person is seen the same? A greek to a german is so different grouping us all "whites" together is so wrong and disrespectful.

    Simple fact is: There's very little POC in europe, at least where I live minorities are mostly albanians (again as she would say more WHITE people) but just because they're white doesn't mean they will be getting better treatment than chinese or black people or that they are the same. Our ethnicities and backgrounds are diversed enough so we shouldnt all be grouped up.

    Forced diversity is not good diversity

    Stop seeing everyone as black and white we are so much more than that

    Edit: to note do not send hate to her. I just find this low-key disrespectfu or even racist that she thinks I'm as a greek the same as a scandinavian, german because of our similar skin I don't relate to them at all. Having people from different countries even if they're the same skin color is very diverse

    LS & Nemesis tier list for all roles for competitive play

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 10:44 AM PST

    LS and Nemesis just did tier lists for every role. Champions not in the list are not worth putting, most of the times because no one will play them anyway.

    Keep in mind this is for competitive play, not solo queue.

    [Fanart] Blood Moon Diana

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 11:29 AM PST

    [Fanart] Blood Moon Diana

    Greetings fellow summoners,

    I wanted to share one of my recent League Fanarts that I've spent quite a while on. When I started playing, Diana was one of my first champions that I mained, so she'll be close to my heart forever. The original Blood Moon Diana splashart is one of my favourites in terms of colors and composition and lighting and I wanted to capture that but put my own twist on it. She put off her mask, destroyed her necklace and is having a quiet moment free of the weight of her armor.

    Hope you guys enjoy it :)

    Interview with Perkz after his first week at the LCS: Thoughts on reuniting with Zven and Mithy, redeeming his Yone soon, how his role as a player looks to change between G2 and C9: "On G2, I had a bit too big of a say. And that was just natural. [...] On Cloud9, I'm just trying to be a player."

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 12:31 PM PST

    Pretty insane stats for an ERL match omg

    That was an incredible game and insane backdoor by KC Saken & KC Adam with a synchronised TP and a noice back cancel by KC Cinkrof (70k on OTP and 70k on Kameto).

    An even greater number of viewvers is expected Thursday for the classico between the KCorp and Solary (OTP, Kameto and SolaryTV will stream the match)

    My friend and I put in hundreds of hours, and we’re excited to finally introduce you to streamtracker.gg — a site providing real-time game info on all your favorite League streamers

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 08:44 AM PST

    Hey everyone! My name is Chris, and over the last couple months my friend and I have been developing a new concept site that provides real time info on League streams to help viewers pick the most entertaining or educational live stream to watch.

    Please check us out at streamtracker.gg (No sign-up or personal information of any kind required)!

    For all our tracked streamers, large and small, we give you live information including players and champions in game, win rates, summoners etc. We also provide searching, filtering, and sorting based on in-game info for example by champions, ranks, roles, servers etc.

    Some neat features that we think are worth checking out:

    • Want to learn how to play Aatrox/Irelia (@Tyler1)? Try filtering by "Masters+" and search Aatrox or Irelia to find the high elo gameplay you need.
    • Since we love seeing our favorite streamers/pros face off, we designed a feature to highlight streamers/pros in other streamers' games so that you can easily see which big names your favorite streamer is facing off or working together with.
    • We also highlight smurf accounts in the games in case you're into laughing "with" your favorite streamer as they go 0-15 (#Justice for thebausffs).
    • Cute poros (check out settings).

    Also be sure to visit the watch page for a rundown version of the live info side by side with embedded twitch stream/chat (and soon to come, multi-watch).

    Since my friend and I have been playing league and watching streams since season 1, we are really excited to create something for the community we grew up with. We hope you enjoy!

    With all that being said, these features are just the tip of the iceberg. We're even more excited about the completely new "VODs" and "Feed" features that we're developing right now!

    P.S.

    We created a brand new discord so if you love the site, drop by https://discord.gg/MuMGPUj7dq. It's another great place to hear announcements from us, make suggestions and to be a part of the project.

    What is the point of removing promos if it's almost impossible to get to 100 LP without a winstreak?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 05:01 AM PST

    Title

    I was p4 last season and now am in g1, I have 60% but when I win I get +12 LP and lose -19. Is this something that was intended? And if it was then what's the point?

    Patch 11.1 | Vedius Picks to Watch | 2021 LEC Spring

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 05:04 AM PST

    I have an 83% winrate in 12 games, winning 8 games in placements. i have climbed a total of 138 LP placements included.

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 02:11 PM PST

    https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=remove+assassins op.gg for reference.

    I ended preseason in D2, so i started placements in P2.

    My first placement win gave me 30 LP, and the last placement game i won gave me 12 LP. I won 2 games outside of placements, and ive gained 9 lp both times. I still have no idea how much i lose, but its probably a disproportionate amount to how much im gaining. Has riot not said that you just have to win more in order to increase your mmr? My mmr has been fucked since the first game i played, and has literally only gone down the more ive won. I just dont understand how winning 8 placement games and 2 out of placement games can move me so little as 1 division and 38 LP.

    For the love of all things holy, why isn't the 'enemy vision here' ping on the standard wheel already?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 09:01 AM PST

    Riot Devs: Respectfully, please consider including a discussion on expanding the ping wheel systems utility. Thank you.

    For those who aren't sure what I'm getting at, I'm talking about this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STPyhnLiEpc

    I hate having this thing bound to another key. The ping wheel is already super convenient. It would be a ridiculous expectation if every ping had its own dedicated key you had to map.

    The only other thing I can think about as to why enemy vision is not among the ping wheel is that the ping wheel would be considered "crowded" .... Come on. Can't we just add an option to extend the wheels relative size and transparency so it can be used with 5 ping types instead of 4?

    Ideas I had to improve this:

    • Add an updated 'full wheel' that is a toggle that gives you all pings in one wheel.

    • This wheel would be larger and more transparent. Leave the current ping wheel as the default, name it 'fast wheel'.

    • Update emote wheel at same time so we can have more emotes. Sell us more emotes -> Funds the ping wheel update work.

    • ZThrows idea, add a 'enemy has no vision here' ping. Would be excellent.

    Monitoring enemy vision is one of the most essential team skills to develop in League, and is part of mastering the game. Being able to communicate suspected enemy vision is important. The enemy vision ping should be among those on the ping wheel. It would also help players who don't think about it as much to have another UI hook into the vision system they otherwise aren't aware of or forget about in the heat of the gameplay.

    I don't get it.

    ZThrows made an excellent point, why don't we have 'enemy has no vision here' ping? This could also be added to the full wheel idea I proposed above.

    How much would Boris the Shopkeeper sell a Scuttlecrab for? [Theorycrafting]

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 05:34 PM PST

    When you go to the shop and you buy a control ward it costs 75g. Now the scuttle crab is worth around 100g and also gives vision.

    If Boris got his hands on a scuttle crab, how much would he sell it for in the shop?

    1. We know that the vision it gives lasts around 1 minute. Furthermore, the vision is in a fixed location, you don't get to choose where to place the circle. However, the vision cannot be removed by the enemy team.
    2. In Season 4, you could buy stealth wards for 30g I believe which lasted around 2mins. Hence the gold value of 1 minute of vision is 15g.
    3. Now, for vision which cannot be removed by the enemy team, we must use a difficult comparison. Maokai saplings are the only comparable vision tool which cannot be removed by sweeper. The average Maokai kda is 2.6/6.1/10.6 (source https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/maokai), and with a normal distribution this implies an average Maokai kill value of 303.48g. i.e Maokai has an average bounty of 3.48g. Since the average Maokai throws 75 saplings per game, this gives a gold value per sapling of 303.48*6.1/75 = 24.68g. However, saplings last for 30 seconds, and from our previous calculations we know that 30 seconds of vision is worth 7.5g. Thus the gold value of the unsweepable vision stat in Maokai saplings is 24.68-7.5 = 17.18g.
    4. Finally, for vision in a fixed location, we can consider the scuttle crab itself. Other methods may use Ashe E or Quinn W, however our analysis suggests these conventions for gold value of fixed vision are inaccurate. The scuttle crab gives 70-126g based on the camp's level, which averages to 98g. We have already determined the other attributes from the scuttle crab are worth 17.18g and 15g. This leaves 98-15-17.18=65.82g value for the fixed location of the vision. Clearly this number is erroneous, so we may adjust this relative to inflation of 8% on summoners rift to give a season 4 gold value of (98-15-17.18)*1.08^-4=48g.
    5. Assuming Boris wanted to make a profit of 10% per sale, this gives a final scuttle crab shop value of (15+48+17.18)*1.1=88.198g

    Conclusion: Boris would sell a scuttle crab for 88 gold.

    With this knowledge, would you buy a scuttle crab instead of a control ward?

    IWillDominate saying that calling Perkz Lane Kingdom player is misinformation

    Posted: 19 Jan 2021 09:06 AM PST

    Yesterday I made a comment of Perkz being a lane kingdom player who calls for resources and plays more for himself early rather than for his jungle or side lanes. While Nisqy is somewhat opposite of that, a player who looks to help his team out rather than team focusing to help him.

    IWDominate made a tweet calling me out on it about it

    How is this the second most upvoted comment in a thread about Perkz. The misconceptions about who he is as a player and where his value comes from are ridiculous. How can people so confidently spread misinformation.

    It is true that where most of his value comes from is not his laning or that he is stomping every lane. Also I should have said that he uses junglers attention to get advantages on enemy mid instead of using word bully enemy mid.

    Anyway I decided to make this post just to clear out what I mean with my comment.

    At no point do I try to make a case that Nisqy is as good of a player as Perkz, which he clearly isn't. Only thing I try to make clear is that they have different play style early game which provide teams different things early.

    I think the less controversial part about that is Nisqy being more DoinB like mid laner who looks to roam. There is even interview with him talking about how he studied Doinb and implemented his roaming style to his game play

    After Worlds, I started to watch Doinb's games and studied how he plays champions. I think I learned a lot from him and his playstyle, especially on picks like Rumble and Qiyana. I'm trying to implement it into my playstyle, so I can help my side lanes, but I can also carry when I play Irelia or Pantheon.

    Worlds really taught me that this is not a 1v1 game, it is entirely 5v5. In the Worlds Finals, Doinb wasn't even laning when FPX swept G2 Esports. He was just roaming around the whole map, making plans on his own, and I think that's something I've kind of put into my play, as well. Since then, things have been going really well for me.

    Now we have to go to the term Lane Kingdom. To my knowledge it comes originally from Forgiven and how he played his lane as ADC pushing the waves and bullying other bot lanes. Then it became known for Perkz because he started to use it as his own. For example, here is an Inven article about Perkz Lane Kindom in 2017. EU broadcast also used that narrative to describe Perkz.

    Even IWD himself has used Lane Kingdom about Perkz before.

    So the term Lane Kingdom basically comes from how originally Forgiven and then Perkz played the lane. What Perkz brought to this calling resources from jungler to get ahead early, which in the end led to him snowballing in mid game and carrying. Perkz calling for jungle resourses can be confirmed by multiple podcasts and interviews G2 players have done during S9-S10. Some notable tournaments of Perkz Lane Kingdom internationally have been S7 MSI and S8 Worlds. Perkz's play style can be considered somewhat of the opposite of the roaming play style that was popularized by Doinb in S9 Worlds. In Doinb's style mid laner leaves his lane to roam even at the cost of his own lane to help his team get a lead. Something that Caps of G2 Mids does more often than Perkz did.

    I watched the first 10 min of S10 Spring regular season (except the last troll game of season) when Perkz was last mid laner and put up a quick summary in google docs. Also it is good to remember even S8 it was his style. For example G2 playing around solo lanes vs RNG or funnel that G2 played during summer where you basically have no jungler just to get your Mid Lane massive amount of resources so he can carry.

    Summary of those S10 Spring games is basically that G2 uses more resources Mid on average than their opponent, which helps him to gain leads in CS, Gold and XP. This does not show on his KDA early though because he is 5/6/13 @10 (1/5/9 when in mid lane and 4/1/4 when roaming) and he clearly is not someone like Chovy who consistently gains massive CS leads in Mid, but even more he is not someone like Nisqy who looks to roam early. Most of the Perkz (and G2) snowballs happened during mid game. Still it is good to remember that G2 did play towards Perkz more early than Perkz played towards other roles.

    It is also good to understand that even if playing towards mid is most known of Perkz play styles that does not mean he is bad or unable to play other styles as well. For example he played Sett and Ornn during S10 Spring and when comp needed it G2 would play towards Top or Bot with Perkz helping too. They just weren't as prominent.

    EDIT: My main points about the discussion

    1. Nisqy and Perkz have different play styles.

    2. Nisqy looks to roam more early game than Perkz, but it can be in cost of his own lane

    3. Perkz plays more towards his own lane early game and gets more help from his jungler. Also Im not claiming this way of playing is worse or better than Nisqys way of playing. It is just different.

    4. Perkz way of playing tries to secure leads mid, which often leads really strong mid 2v2. Nisqy way of playing tries to get either Jungler or one of the side lanes ahead, but usually leads mid being weaker.

    5. Perkz is better player than Nisqy, because he is better at his style and is able to carry more consistently with his style of play

    6. The main value Perkz is not about his early laning (which is still good), but the mid game play where he can snowball those small leads and is able to carry team to win.

    7. Even though Perkz often plays towards his lane does not mean that he doesn't play other styles well. They just are not as prominent.

    Why was Seraphine buffed in patch 10.25, shes too strong rights now and everyone should know it

    The champion was doing fine with a 50% wr last patch, literally for a fresh champion with a lot of new mechanics thats pretty good, but she just got buffed for no reason. Such a frustrating and strong champion to play against with crazy cc, range, and damage.
