Want to rage about your latest loss?
Use the QQ thread.
If you whine in GD, you'll get warned.

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.

Vs champs like noct or rammus you need to ward further down in the river. Otherwise you won't even see them in time to react correctly.

The whole "why should we have true damage" statement is retarded to me. Having different types of damage is perfectly fine. An alistar ults. Problem? NOPE, TRUE DAMAGE. Different types of damage can counter different things.

I'm pretty sure his ult did reduce true damage at a certain time XD


Yeah but it wasn't supposed to. :D
They finally fixed it so it doesn't anymore lol.

True damage is fine, some things can just build so tanky and be like herpaderp(HP>last whisper/void staff aswell).
If you think they should remove true damage why not remove all types of damage and only have like physical damage, so dumb that you have to buy both armour and mr if you want to reduce physical and magical damage.
Buying hp effectively reduces true damage(except for vayne, which right now can be reduced with dodge).
Changing most of the true damage to physical/magical damage would barely affect squishies and only make the shit that builds tanky harder to kill. League of Bruisers.

In fact, I have the precisely opposite opinion, true damage is good for the game in small doses because like JackDino said, it provides a check vs. tanky characters.

True damage serves one very important purpose... to feast the Bear when his passive kicks in, and also Alistar when he pops his ult way too freaking late. :D

It doesn't provide a check. It causes tremendous inconsistency since so few characters have it. There is no good HP option to be built by carries, whereas MR and Armor can be picked up in a normal build by both AD ranged and mages.

This may be true for AD carries, but I don't think you can say RoA doesn't count as "a good HP option".

There is no normal build for ad carries that picks up MR and armour, going wriggles isn't really a normal build but a situational item over 2-3 dorans(which happen to give HP) of the time and the only MR you'll ever build is most likely going to be a BV or QSS, 1 of these also gives HP and both are gonna be build quite late.
Ad carries are so squishy in general dealing true damage or not against them doesn't matter that much anyways.

You already have a check for tanks, hybrid damage. If you're letting a tank get farmed to the point of being an issue without true damage then there's a huge issue in the play, not a need for a mechanic like true damage. It's like "oh this vayne was way too strong, nerf" when you let her farm bt, ie, pd and cleaver. Kind of your own fault. Also tanks are made to be precisely that, tanks, they're supposed to be able to take a lot of damage.

Except, at some point a vayne will get whatever items she wants, at which point dealing true damage or not doesn't really matter that much vs most champs.
Tanks are not made to be able to take a lot of damage, they're made to take damage and disrupt the enemy team, but right now they also deal a lot of damage.
There are no pure tanks in this game, maybe some champs like amumu when they dont build any AP.
As for letting tanks get farmed, having abilities like alistar ult or exhaust has nothing to do with letting champs farm.

"Tanks" don´t safely divert damage, they allow their teams to punish anyone that uses CDs on them. In general Defense outscales Damage, you get more survivability compared to killingpower for the same gold - until % penetration is picked up.

Do you have to log in to get your 450 RP for being a good boy or can I just wait until January when the computer I'm on is actually capable of running the game?

Just check the client, there is no need to start a match.

The whole point is that I don't want to patch the client on this computer though

But if you're not playing much wouldn't all that RP go to waste? *wink wink*
