That has to be the most ridiculous thing I've seen since a team bought as many wards as they could to bumm-rush mid turret.

Summoner's Rift is balanced, yo.

Summoner's Rift is balanced, yo.

Moreso than Dominion in my mind at least.

Moreso than Dominion in my mind at least.

I'm almost inclined to agree with this. But when Summoner's Rift stops getting screwed over by one asshole, I'll change my tune wholesale. >8C

So I just lost a game where the score was 28-18. We had 28. Did I mention I was 15-4? Did I also mention it was a 3v5 and my team was the 3? They finally beat us at the 34 min mark, at which point I was able to go 2v1 against any of them and walk away. Le sigh, I hate leavers or else we would have won.

So, they didn't nerf Fizz.

And it's also free Fizz week.

I'm going to hide under my covers for a bit.

[Thigrai]

There's nothing nerf-able on fizz. His damage isn't what people are complaining about him, it's his E. You can't really nerf a whole mechanic.

[Deleted]

Spotlight is out



I think he looks alright, he got his singed throw, his tryn slow and his blitzcrank passive

The ult is gonna mess team fights up i guess, at least the first few weeks. Frenzy with the "use" attack after 5 swings also looks insanely strong

[sam86]

His E need to increase its cd 3 times

[Thigrai]

Frenzy was anounced to require 4 swings, it now requires only 3. Not 5.

His Q was supposed to be a knockup, like blitzcrank punch. I don't know if fling is a better form of cc, or not.

It is, you can put people into your tower or team instead of nowhere.

Also, that 5 AD carry game, this is why you need someone with AoE on your team, kids. People try push teams in DotA all the time, except low level heroes to next to zero tower damage and one person with an AoE nuke will end it while the other 4 free farm. Same idea in LoL, though champions do a lot more damage to towers, one brand maxing W and E would have pissed all over that strategy...

Still one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. Wave 1 tower, wave 2 tower, 4 minute inhibitor...

Just watched the spotlight. This champ looks like the closest they've come to an anti-fighter in about ten champs. Considering he can build support items and still smash defensive Shyvana, it looks like a success. Too bad he's only one champ, maybe they can continue the trend and change the meta in a few more champs.

Fighters are all melee, which means they can't pound on someone without also being pounded on. To compliment this, he has a slow to ensure they can't attack and then peel off before he comes to help. He's got an anti CC to throw people into or away from his team, and interrupt trash like Katarina. If built tanky, he is a massive bait champion with his passive that will encourage fighters to target him when he's low instead of the carries they should actually be going for. Finally, his ult does AoE damage while he beats the fighter's skull in, making him a huge threat to be dealt with regardless. All in all, one of the first champions I've actually looked forward to seeing in real action in months.

Will have to see how it actually works out, Phreak's videos are all conveniently centered around team fights where he has 6k gold on the entire enemy team and is obviously going to win. Considering none of the fights are ever "here was a fair fight I engaged and won because Volibear is awesome," it remains to be seen. I guess there is something to be said about being able to only fight the fights you have an upper hand in, but that's not how most of us end up playing LoL.

New skins on two chars I like. Silverfang splash art looks disappointing, haven't found Imperial though.

EDIT: New skins here. Splash for Silverfang looks disappointing, but model looks pretty sick. Lux is meh, Hyena Warwick looks cool, Frost Janna is awesome. Couldn't care less for Trist honestly

[Deleted]

Do we know when the patch hits the US servers? I would like to see him played on some stream before it hits EU

[Thigrai]

Patching is already in progress on the NA servers. It's been 4 hours since the servers went down.

The new skins can be found here, i believe the last is Hyenna Warwick. Awesome. I was considering buying Feral WW, now i have to wait a couple of weeks for this one to be released

[Typhron]

Oh shit. OLD (and good) Commando Lux.

STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM.

I just played Akali and Corki free, and now they are gone and other champions are in. They weren't in last weeks rotation either, wut?
