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 |

Do we have more to go on than Viktor being added and dodge being removed? We also have some PBE stuff that gives us a hint of what may come.
Mind filling this in? I've seen several posts about Ninja Tabi, Vlad ap nerfs, shen buffs. Is there much more than that, say new Jax mechanics to replace dodge?
Edit: nvm, for some reason I didn't realize that PBE changes were just listed in the regular forums, my bad.

Everything you've seen posted on TL is pretty much all we have to go by until the patch preview comes out. I'm honestly really curious what they're gonna do with Jax. I'll be pretty annoyed if they just remove dodge and leave Jax in the dust while they work it out similar to what they did with Panth after the ult nerf.

Who is Chu8 anyways. I heard he was a Hon player? Haven't watched much but he seems good from what little I have seen and he spams actions and changes views like an SC player.

I got 21/9/0 with her. 21/0/9 is just as viable as well. For runes, armorpen reds flat armor yellows mr/lvl blues flat health quints.
Flash/ignite
open either boots 3 pot or health regen 1 pot.
philostone->boots->sheen->finish boots (usually merc, depends though)->phage->finish triforce->atmogs->w.e tanky ass item you want.
Also if you aren't laning well, you can get heart-o-gold after philostone, just for more gold per10.

i run irelia 0/21/9 straight down the mres tree with 3 armor/3hp5
runes arpen red flat armor yellow flat mr blue hp5 or mspeed quints
ghost/tele
open cloth5/reg1/null2/boots3 depending on my item build, lane opponent, and their team comp
reg build is usually philo -> boots -> phage -> boots2 -> tri then situational build
sometimes i go wrigs/wit's -> phage -> tri -> atmog's
other times i go philo -> boots -> wit's -> phage/mallet -> atma's
point is that irelia has a lot of flexibility with her item builds.

Chu8 hit rank 1 last season to prove a point. Hon >>>>>> League
He played under-rated characters like Maokai and Karma, and did them justice by being ridiculously good at them.
His Moakai was really famous for a while, he ran AP maokai with Trinity Force.

Adding to the AD carry discussion:
It's difficult to talk about "balance" when referencing AD/Support bottoms, because the relative strength of each combo is dependent on so many factors. You have to think about everything the AD brings to the table and also consider what the support brings and the interactions between the two's abilities. You also have to consider the opposing combination, so you have to factor in the selection of 4 champions.
Right now there are a few AD carries that excel regardless of the support (Vayne, Graves, Caitlyn) and a few that work well depending on the support pick (Corki, Ezreal, Tristana, Kog'Maw, Sivir). Conversely, there are two supports that seem to excel no matter what the AD (Soraka, Sona) and a few that rely on matchups (Alistar, Taric, Janna, Leona, Nunu, Blitzcrank).
You also have to take into account the relative skills of both the AD and support on both sides, as well how well they can work together.
Basically I guess I'm trying to say that Vayne, Graves, and Cait are (in general) the class of the AD Carries, and Soraka/Sona are the class of the Supports....ehhh, it's all so dependent on matchups and other stuff I feel bad even generalizing like this, Ezreal/ Corki/ Trist are so good in the right hands too, and Alistar is my most played character so I know for a fact when you get the right matchup you can faceroll but idk.
Not sure if I'm gonna leave this up, but yeah those are my thoughts.

Yeah, I had the OP set up to read "The Nine-Tailed Fox" before I saw what they called her at release. Changing that back for sure...
Edit: rofl, just realized why her passive has nine charges -.-

I've never been excited for a new champion like I am for Viktor.
Hope they release him Wednesday, since they probably won't release him today. =\

Haven't logged into LoL in months due to computer problems. Did everyone else get their 450 good behavior rp? I logged in and don't have RP, but pretty sure I haven't been banned. Also suggestions for spending 450 RP? I'm thinking of an IP boost or a for sale skin... Not much else you can buy really.

just won the most epic ass 4v5 in ranked to gain 8 ELO
we didn't have a top laner and jungler refused to go, so did bot lane. But everytime we went for dragon, I would get doubles with cassiopeia. Also, our ashe literally landed every single fucking arrow she shot. Like I got 2 kills for free because a random arrow hit the enemy brand in mid twice.
Anyways, Ashe + Amumu + Cassiopeia = win at initiation if their AD carry is out of position.
EDIT: point of this post FUUUUUUU loss forgiven. They deserve to lose ELO for losing 5v4!

I've had half a dozen games in the last few weeks won or lost because of server instability without a single instance of loss forgiven.

they should really enforce it more often, or never enforce it at all :/

Never gotten a loss forgiven, plenty of times when servers went shit, mass dcs, 3v5, 3v4 w/e, not a single loss forgiven. Riot really needs to tell people that the jungler isn't their bitch, plenty of games where the jungler gets flamed and blamed for everything. Jungler got his jungle invaded @ lvl1 and is set back way behind? OMG GANK NOOB WE LOST BOT CUZ U NEVER GANK, shit like that. Makes a lot of people not want to jungle, same for the support but haven't seen support get blamed that much. Maybe the reward program will improve the general attitude.

I find that I get Loss Forgiven at the most random times, I've never seen someone complain about lag ingame when it's active (which people usually do the second they die..), no d/c's, nuffin'. I just take the 'free' losses, but it's kinda stupid.
