Other than Amumu, i don't care if the yordles are nerfed (especially teemo, i hate that little rat).
Honestly, I am not too excited about Dominion. Yeah its going to be fast paced, but at the same time I feel its going to take a while for people to take it seriously.
For now I am going to stick to SR, and after a bit of time I will see how good Dominion is going to get.
I'l be on the lookout for bugs though

Yordle nerfs = amumu, maybe trist? I don't see how Poppy, or even Teemo need any nerfs. Whole lot of champs that should be on the firing line before Poppy(although maybe nerf Poppy's burst as a way to allow her to become a better champ overall? a remake of sorts).
|
for obs, maybe just let your friends obs you? would fix the possible 15k HSGG Fans crashing the server.
|
Does yordles in the firing line mean yordle nerfs... or that there are yordles going to be released?
Also lol, rioters lurking.

RIOT lurkers, also moonbear
any idea when the "achievement" tab in the summoner profile gonna be used? hopefully season 2?
(hint, i'm asking cause 82/82 champs ranked wins)

THE MORE I PLAY SKARNER THE LESS SENSE HE MAKES
REAL WTF
Current thoughts:
-9 21 0 is the way to go I think. Makes you bulky, gives you MPen and the only thing I really miss from the utility tree is movespeed.
-For Runes I'm currently running full ArPen / Armor / scaling Mres. For Quints I'm about to kick out my ArPen for Movespeed.
-Summoners I'm currently running Flash/Exhaust, debating to switch Exhaust out for Ghost.
-Skill order.. here it already get's weird. Like, E is great and a cool little poke and all, but lvl 5 W/Q is just so slick. For W usage it's important to decide whether to use it as your gap closer (bad) or as your steroid (AFTER the enemy blew most of his cooldowns).
ITEMS KEEP GETTING WEIRDER.
I'm playing around with everything and Skarner, to me, feels like the Jax no one knew how to build properly.
-Gunblade/Triforce builds work, but I feel the Gunblade has wasted stats. The slow is great though.
-Frozen Mallet is a great item on him.
-Rageblade works decently, not sure if it's really cost effective on him atm.
-Force of Atmogs builds work, but kinda have the same issue as they have on anyone without a real gapcloser: You take ages to get into range.
The more I play Skarner the more I think he is the strongest possible carry babsitter out there atm.
Stuff like Akali/Nocturne/Irelia is like COMPLETELY shut down. The low CD on Q makes you great at sticking to a target once you're on top of it (and those guys mentioned before have a tendency to come to you first, real handy), your ult is an op lifesaver if your carry really takes a lot of heat from one guy.
More input and random thoughts still appreciated (Especially on items. Or more on "What items to get when and why?)
I'm more and more sure that the only "real" core item should be Triforce, but I'm open for other completely random ideas. =D

Personally I would like to see the 2-phase ban system taken from DotA, as IMO it would add depth to the ban/pick system. As is, if someone picks a given role in their first or second pick, the other team loses any necessity to pick a champion of that role in their following picks, because the other team is incapable of picking another champ of that role without making their comp extremely screwy (e.g. if the enemy team first-picks Fiddlesticks, you no longer have any urgency to pick your jungler). Needing to consider those picks for the second banning phase (e.g. we still need to get Nocturne now because the enemy team could ban him in the 2nd banning phase if he looks too good for our comp) seems like it would make the ban/pick system more interesting.

Jesus christ, I've been playing Zilean for like 2 days now, great champ in every way....but fuck me NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HIS ULT IS....
I'd say I waste half my ults on people who are like oneshot who then frantically flash and blow every escape skill they have trying to get out and squandering the ult....most frustrating thing ever.
what??
You're not supposed to pay attention to other people in solo queue unless they are beast and carrying you l0l.

Skarner also solo pushes well. Triforce is mandatory on him IMO but after that I like tank and CDR items, with ghostblade as my "other" source of damage if I need it.
My endgame build, arrived at in random manner, looks like
Triforce
Randuin
Wit's End
Merc Treads (unless I can get away with Tabi or CDR Boots)
Ghostblade or Nashor's
GA
with variations based on enemy team of course.
I tried tossing in Shurelya's somewhere, but it never fit because I always wanted to get triforce as soon as possible and then it was always ARMOR OR MR. Gotta try it some more though.

I think the game should have 4 bans each side

What about Smartcast for items?

I think the problem with 4 bans a side is then you need 18 champs to play ranked. Otherwise I'm sure they'd do it.

OH FUCK SHURELYAS YES.
Completely forgot about that, that has to be great on him.
tbh I'd run philo -> HoG -> Triforce -> Shurelyas -> Tank. Gotta try that out.
Actually I think this build should run well without more HP thrown in there, making Randuins/Frozen Heart and Banshees the way to go for armor/mres. For more HP funfire could work, too, I guess.

I have more of an issue with the fact that there would then be certain champs that you'd NEVER get to play ever. 8 bans in all? Say goodbye to every Fotm and possible OP champ.

"without more HP" "Randuins... and Banshees" ... wat?
Also, is something wrong with server right now? My launcher is stuck like it's looking for a patch, so I thought maybe there is a patch and went to get food and watch some MLG... 20 minutes later still not working, tried restarting it still no good =[
