Want to rage about your latest loss? Use the QQ thread. If you whine in GD, you'll get warned. ===== + Show Spoiler +If your [Stream] thread was moved to the general TL Stream subforum (aka SC stream land), find your thread and PM it to me and I'll move it back to LoL territory. I can argue with staff that moving a non-SC thread into a SC subforum is just asking for that thread to get buried.
- Neo, Dec. 15 2011, 6:33 KST I have admin approval. I'll be moving LoL streams back to the subforum. Stream name will be based on Summoner name. - Neo 7:07 KST |

Agreed, pre 6 he has no push.

It's obviously a business move, specifically because their business provides a service that doesn't use inventory (very unusual). They can "give away" something that people have to buy, yet not effect their bottom line, and it has the effect of getting people to want things from the store. effectively they give a little to entice you to want a lot (and if you want something enough, you'll pay money for it). As a business, Riot is pretty damn smart (their e-sports division is another matter).

So is there any reason I've seen less Gragas players lately? I picked him up a few days ago and I've been having a blast with him. I don't remember him being nerfed.

I don't remember him being nerfed. Gragas just hasn't been played as much since his major nerf a loooooooooooong time ago. I think people would rather get something like brand anyways or ryze.

He is my main AP carry.
People at my elo can't dodge for shit and i get fed pretty much every game

Do people still play Talon?
I've been doing bot lane talon/soraka shenanigans with orb in normal games and omg he's so fun to play. Really fun lane combo too.
But I wanna play him in solo lanes and I haven't seen anyone do that in forever. Is he still a viable solo lane pick? I imagine he still wrecks casters mid.
|
He got nerfed slightly twice and then everyone stopped playing him. He's still perfectly strong mid and a decent bot just people are all on other champion kicks. I'd play Talon more but he's just not my thing most times.
|
Gragas is still picked a good amount in tournies tho. His ulti and poke is still really strong.
|
I have to wonder if its because Gragas is melee so some people automatically assume hes bad.
same would be said of Kassadin, but he mainly wants kills as opposed to farm (though both are even better).

Well before his major nerfs he was basically unkillable, especially since back then locket still existed, so he was pretty OP as you can build anything and do well with him. They nerfed his W so it doesn't provide nearly as much tankiness anymore. With removal of locket+nerf on W his sustain wasn't as ridiculous anymore either.
Now as an AP carry, he's very reliant on landing skillshots and his ulti can really screw over a teamfight same way Janna's can. Relatively high skill floor and high skill ceiling, which is why you don't see him as much.

nevermind not worth sidetracking over

Gragas has always been only really played often after he is played in tourny games. =/ At least since I've played that's what I remember happening. Basically the general sheep who follow people like regi's every move. He's really good though as an AP carry. Can farm well, poke well, and is generally a good counter to AoE team comps by scattering the enemy. Fat man so strong though. D: Santa skin to be extra op. Throw gifts all day long. =D
As for talon, I always really just saw him as a counter to AP carries. He never was that great top lane, and he's even worse at it after the nerfs. Bot I've seen him doing okay with a support like soraka too though.

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/450-riot-points-awarded-nice-summoners
Since early spring, we’ve been working with you through the Tribunal to identify those summoners who have had a negative impact on your play experience. For your efforts, and to celebrate the holiday season, we thought it was a good time to thank all those summoners who’ve made a point upholding the Summoner’s Code this year. If you’re over level 6 and haven’t been banned from League of Legends in the past two months, you’re in line to receive 450 Riot Points as a gift from the co-founders and all of us here at Riot Games in appreciation.
Santa Gragas gives rp if you dont' call yer team a bunch of so and so's who should be !@#$! with thar !&*!&$ while sucking *!&*9!?! pants.
It's good to be a nice guy.

Sweet, my plan is working perfectly. Don't play for a month and only watch streams, acquire RP. >:D
|
i can barely go a game without talking shit to my teammates and i've never been so much as warned. I really don't understand how people can talk so much shit they get banned. I do report people for at all abusing their opposition, but being a bannably gigantic dick to your own teammates is just rare in my experience.
