(1) There's no if about it; (2) the only leaked gameplay footage is of the recall animation, so I'm not sure how you could have an opinion on the appropriateness of the price at this point, and (3) you don't play Thresh, do you? Deep Terror, Championship, and Blood Moon are his only commonly-available skins and all are 975-tier (SSW being limited).

He's never even had a 1350-tier skin, so he's way overdue for a Legendary or Ultimate skin to fill the void. Many were hoping it would either be Void-themed or something similar to this fan concept for an "Arclight Thresh" which, similarly to Justicar Aatrox, turns his classic lore on its head and presents him as a "savior" of souls, rather than a warden. I was excited about something like that, but I'm sure this Void-esque Thresh and any other Dark Star-line skins will be well worth the price.

How many MSers have PBE access? Can/should we create a group on that server too?
I feel like it might be a fun, easy way for different regions to play together, if nothing else.

^ Basically that. I've taken to just clicking Fill nowadays because if I'm going to get support a lot of times anyway, I may as well not limit my options to NOT play support on the off-chance somebody else picked it. I have at least a couple champs I can deal with in each role so it's also fun to do for variety in Normals.

That being said, Fill Life has its merits: you get placed faster (on average) than if you picked any specific role, and I'm actually pleasantly surprised by how often I don't get support if I'm playing between midnight and 9 AM.

You can't even speak for everybody in this thread on a vast majority of issues, Panzer, so I'm not sure it's fair for you to purport that you represent everyone when you say "nobody would be sad" if support were removed. Kinda silly to say that. :P

In post 788, PJ. wrote:And can you even really disagree Maestro? Doesn't Klazam support in the vast majority of your games?
Draynth already mentioned the difference in the terminology you're using (e.g. "vast majority of players" vs. "most support mains" or whatever), but also what
I
specifically was referencing was that it's kinda clear most people in this thread disagree that the support role is "worthless" (and IIRC, that was your original point), so how can you extrapolate that the "vast majority of players" agree with you, when this sample size would indicate otherwise? :P It was a half-joke, really.

RE: the point quoted above, given that you use "vast majority" again, no, he doesn't. He definitely doesn't like ADC (and he's worse than me at CSing on Marksmen, I believe, but he can drop his $0.02 here), so if we're duo botlane he supports me, but we don't do that nearly as often as we used to and WHEN we used to it was more me supporting him...

Not sure what your point is though RE: Klaz and me?

And/or as others have said: he should've stolen more kills. :P
Not something I'd factor in for Support but that does seem to matter.

ADC Junglers have always been something I'm very wary of - Kindred is obviously at least built for it, but her, Twitch, Graves... I have some rough first clears on other junglers, so I can't imagine how I'd work with them.

What is he supposed to be nowadays? A jungler?

EDIT: Serious question, not trying to be sarcastic.

EDIT2: I guess he's an AD caster now? He still mostly goes botlane, with a support, in an AD role. That's what I would categorize as an ADC, but maybe I'm wrong.

WHEN DID THIS GLORIOUS REMAKE FEATURE BECOME A THING

We were prompted to surrender because of a player who DCed at the beginning of the game - we didn't even get 3 min in and a warning came up in chat, for everybody except them it said "Remake" on the endgame screen, but apparently they take a loss. That's AWESOME.

I like that a proper teemo build involves some actual thinking compared to what I do with most other champions these days.

It was the most fun I've had playing League on Live in awhile. Not even kidding.
I think we won both games? I was MF in the first one, then Leona in the second.

UGH SO FUN

Spoiler: Apparently this was "not cool" -_-


The only thing he didn't get in the video is that the Bard ult is just one of a myriad of little evil effects the Doom Bots can get from Devil Teemo throughout the course of the game, and they ramp up and persist / desist according to how much time you have left on the timer.

Almost all it takes is time or an abnormal / test-worthy hardware setup to get accepted for opt-in PBE access, and the information is available on multiple sites like Surrender@20 and Rift Herald, not to mention in at least a dozen YouTuber video demos by now. Not spoiler-worthy and not a big deal at all, IMO.

Agreed with Ray - give us a little more context for the ones where there's a lot going on (like the teamfights). I rewound once or twice just to make sure I knew which champ you were, even if it was pretty obvious based on the pwnage going on in each clip. Personal preference? Have a liiiiittle extra time on the end of each clip. I personally like seeing if there's any reaction to amazing plays in chat/allchat, like, for instance, in that Thresh lantern play.

You would identify champions with these qualities and assess winrates across the spectrum of abstracted champions strengths? How would this be quantified, exactly? Would totally be interested in some data on this subject, 13/10 would recommend.

5100 x 31 = 158,100 IP + (some Blue Essence)

So I should be buying Shards with IP if I want champions?

I think RayFrost has the right idea. With Janna and Nani E's they directly buff the target's AA's. The damage is still from the ADC or whoever is buffed, and the supports get assists based on that damage if the ADC gets in the damage and an enemy is killed.

And I don't even have to speak in hypotheticals. I'm not sure I'd be positive which one it was if I looked over my history, but I distinctly remember a very polite and fun and encouraging Caitlyn (maybe?) who wasn't too good at being an ADC, but it was just an enjoyable lane and I really didn't care about my rank so I had fun, made some good plays (IIRC) and we did ok. No idea if we won or if the sunshine and rainbows was specific to laning with her.

RayFrost and I are having fun in Blinds, if any want to join~~~

Highlights of Game 1 - full-tank support Draven, mirror Akalis in mid who flamed eachother the whole game, mirror Caitlyns (ours went PD->BT->RH, no IE), and a Hecarim jungler (theirs) who ignored all epic monster spawns...? We won.

Highlights of Game 2 - Ray going bot on Yasuo with me on Vel'Koz support, BUT he forgot to change his Maokai masteries out AND we still whooped a Tristana/Galio botlane, where about 5 minutes we also had a 2-man gank from our Riven mid (???) and Shaco jungler, who I believe was drunk and never grouped with the team for a teamfight once. Their Udyr was carrying HARD (tiger stance) and was just destroying us until a couple teamfights where we ran back and forth across the map basically taking inhibs and Baron back-and-forth. We eventually lost.

Highlights of Game 3 - Ray is apparently having problems with his masteries! After switching/saving them with "plenty of time", he ends up having to play AD Zyra mid. He goes 9/1/6, with as much CS as the Renekton top (he was AD too). Everyone bows down, including the enemy team, who surrender at 22:xx after we ace them in a teamfight mid, where they'd been hanging around FOREVER trying to get our outer mid tower.

I already messaged Klazam directly about that, but figured others might want to know in case you don't like to read:
The League of Legends Snowdown event Hextech crafting page wrote:A new themed Snowdown Chest will be available each day, containing a guaranteed thematic skin shard and three bonus Snowdown Sweets. Each themed Snowdown Chest will be available at least twice during the event, but you can only buy six Snowdown Chests each day. Snowdown Chests have double the chance to drop a Poro King’s Treasure Chest Fragment.

Each chest will only contain skin shards within a specific thematic (like Fire skins or Robot skins). Check in each day to see what cool new chest is available!
Today's Snowdown Chests (prefixed with "
Fi
red
Up
") will
ONLY
contain skin shards for the following skins, and I
believe
it's also limited to skins for champions you own, which greatly reduces the variability, hence the triple Obsidian Malphite:

Spoiler:
Foxfire Ahri
Infernal Alistar
Infernal Diana
Shadowfire Kindred
Obsidian Malphite
Charred Maokai
Phoenix Quinn
Molten Rammus
Scorched Earth Renekton
Firefang Warwick
Volcanic Wukong
Scorched Earth Xerath
Wildfire Zyra

The "Fired Up" chests will be available at least one other time during the event. As will every other type of themed Snowdown Chest, apparently. Hope this helps people who wanna throw money at Riot Games this Christmas - at least have fun and get what you want while doing it. :P

Question for the group: I have 5 Gemstones, almost exclusively from gifted RP going to Hextech chest packs. Do I bow out and go for the ward now or wait for forever to rack up the other 5 and forge a skin? I don't play Annie or Vayne a ton, but evidence would suggest they'll add more 10-Gem skins by the time I get there so... maybe worth?

Why is it that if they want diversity they couldn't just go the smart route to it and use the actual black characters?

The Assassin/stealth changes and the ADC neutering, in general, all seem to combine to create a meta in which neither of those roles can snowball with any consistency, even when looking within a single game. I agree that Junglers decide the fate of the game nowadays.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Camille is ridiculous, for those who don't know. Hookshot is one of the most abusable skills I've ever seen on a champion, and Q's AA reset feels amazing to use in-lane for CSing (top) or for Relic procs (support).

Still get sup all the time. I thought this shit was fixed.
What do you mean "fixed"? That's the system operating exactly as intended. If you include support in your pref positions, or if you select fill when you support a lot, the system will give you support because it's almost always (still) the highest in demand.

The system fills based on the demand, and when you see "Autofill Activated" at the bottom of the lobby that means it takes your prefs into account even less. What's to "fix"? The only way to "fix" it is to get people to select roles with the perfect distribution to get teams where everybody has their first choice...which is... unreasonable?

If Autofill is activated, it means more people disagree with rather than agree with this sentiment, or it means that the system isn't necessarily able to fill the requests of all people who think this way. IMHO, you should click Fill or Support for a game or two, after which point you'll be protected against this (like I am the vast majorioty of the time) and THEN you can think this way and get upset if it doesn't happen. "Do the time" like everybody else. :yawn:
( I love that new emoji )


PEDIT: Note that when I say "do the time" I don't even mean play ADC or Support or whichever-role-is-in-meta-as-least-desirable-for-most-players, I mean play whichever role you're given when you click Fill or Support, and then you'll be in the clear to play how you will.

In post 2485, zoraster wrote:If auto-fill is on it's because people want certain roles, not that they want to wait less time.
I never said that "Autofill Activated" was because people wanted to wait less time...? I did say that if people want to wait less time
AND
get "Autofill Protection" for some of their games, they can auto-Fill themselves...? Maybe that's where I confused you.

I'm drawing a distinction between "Autofill", the feature that Riot has in place to fill games quicker and sometimes disregard player queue prefs, and "auto-Fill", when a player selects "Fill" in either pref slot to get in a game faster. The former is something I don't mind because if a player is subject to the Autofill feature they then get "Autofill Protection", which disables the feature
for them specifically
in their next 2 games (or whatever it actually is). The latter I also think is a good thing, since it allows you to manually bypass the Autofill feature (via the same "Autofill Protection) for the 2 games (or whatever) after the game in which you've selected Fill as one of your prefs.
In post 2486, Ser Arthur Dayne wrote:Not sure but rn for ranked for me autofill is always activated and if I ever get autofilled I get 2 games of guaranteed one of my primary or secondary ("you recently autofilled or played support so you're guaranteed one of your primary or secondary").

I also get guaranteed one of primary or secondary in promos/series.
Yeah, I knew all that. It's why I really like the system; all of that is good IMO. It's a small price to pay to play Support / the-least-desirable-FOTM sometimes if it means I get guaranteed pref for a couple games. And the fact that it isolates promos/series is awesome.

What I was confused about RE: your tactic(s) for never getting Autofilled was my understanding of the system. I was under the impression that, for all intents and purposes, it sort of adds a 3rd pref ("Fill") when the Autofill feature is active for the queue you're in. That way it can dump you in whatever role it wants if it has a group that needs to be completed with a certain role so that they can get in a game. If you're the odd one out, and you get Autofilled into that final role the system needs, you get "Autofill Protection" for your next 2 games (or whatever it actually is). I wouldn't think that would all be bypassed by re-queuing every 3-4 min or whenever anybody dodges in a Champion Select lobby, but I don't know the code or anything and I'm only making educated assumptions on how it works.

You have not 2 but

No? The evidence I'm seeing from the YouTubers I've been watching and my own PBE experience indicates that there's almost literally something for everyone. I can't think of a large class of champions that can generally be said to suffer under this rework.

Ok, if you don't like the lack of AD, look to Inspiration - the whole new tree dedicated to Gold guarantees and quirky, wonky, fun things that should help your game even if you're behind. Like, unless you don't play the game to have fun, I don't see a problem.

s'true, there were warnings in the client to disenchant leftover shards before the switch to maximize efficiency - but the Hextech item in the shop now is just called "Hextech Mystery Champion" and is 3800-something BE, which is comparable / worth it for ppl like me who only have 4800's and 6300's and the new champs released in the future to look forward to.

Why do you always have to say shit in the rudest way...?

I was willing to help set something up - I wasn't going to go as far as LLD did, so we're probably better off with that help. The point I was making was that I didn't specifically want or expect this to coalesce in the next... week or two? Semi-RL shit on this forum doesn't seem to work that fast, in general.

Yeah, random it’s best not to try to have this discussion with some ppl in this thread

/belligerent

In all seriousness tho, I really think the people who hate on URF are not the target audience. Simple as that. Feel free to play ranked, and do what you like to do, and we will do the same. Winning is not always the priority.

can confirm

Newnu in Game: idiot Jungler goes Sorcs but at least with Cinderhulk, ends at 8/8 and helps us come back from basically all going even in KDA except Ornn top (not that we all had few kills... just we also had a ton of stupid deaths - including me, but in my defense: first-time Kai'Sa)
however
I will say he was never fucking around and just lolSNOWBALLED all over the map and was generally pretty toxic.

Newnu in Very Next Game: idiot Jungler goes Runic Echoes and we end up early surrendering at 17 min because he had absolutely 0 pressure and a 2/5 Katarina botlane was feeding an 8/0 Lucian mid. Ouch.

So yes, basically plz don't build them AP

Yeah, I was curious how long your opinion from the previous post would last. I've seen exactly 1 Newnu do well in-game, and when I looked at his build I remember seeing Cinderhulk, Dead Man's Plate, Spirit Visage, Tabi, etc... every single Newnu I've ever seen go Runic Echoes has failed spectacularly - usually by over-committing or not having a good gauge of the damage they can do vs. how ham they should go. That might be solved eventually by people who learn the champion really well (it's kindof FOTM right now) but I really think people are better off if they play a disruptor rather than make an attempt to be a play-maker/second AP.

That seems... unintentional? I don't think ghosts should retain whole champion passives like that. Does a Jinx ghost Get Excited! if she happens to K/A one of Morde's enemies...? Does a Draven ghost proc passive and give the Gold to the Morde...? If the answers to those is "no" then Lissandra's ghost shouldn't work that way either, IMO.
