I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with releasing a champ with an intended role, it doesn't instantly make their kit not cool. Makes overall balance much easier, and you still get cases like Elise where people found out she was way better at tanky-ap top instead of glass canon mid.

Edit: Also with the new support items, a small amounts of of AP might be able to be itemized while still offering utility.

i find great humor in playing Lux these days. I can't hit her stupid binding for the life of me (which is wierd because it's easier to use than morgana's and I have no problem with her) and i always flub her E... but she's so encouraging

Funny how clg is the next team getting ddosed after they got a gaming house, one might think that they have prepared themselves after seeing the tsm ddso incidents.

also it's quite scary to have platinum and silver players in one game atm. Like we had this Mordekaiser who was silver and got abit lucky in his first few placements and rose to 1620 and didnt buy a single ward in 25minutes and went 0/9

Probably because they're still caught up in their heads that AP is a stat that supports want to itemize in some significant capacity.

That is the line of thinking that led them to constantly label Morello's as a support item.


I thought Morellos was considered a support item because old DFG + blue buff + 4% from masteries gave any AP mid 39% CDR and therefore those building Morellos would be non-AP mids?
Hey! How you doin'?

That makes it a non-AP item yes.

But it's still laughable that they thought supports would ever buy it, because somehow they thought supports would be able to justify buying an NLR's worth of AP.

As you can tell by the examples they use they intend to convey that support heroes are a subset of the support lane role. So when they say they mean support in the first sense, not the second, they're not excluding the second sense, they're saying it's not the complete definition they're using. I'm absolutely certain she's intended to go bot. It's pretty basic english.

basic english? are you serious? nice underhanded insult.

there is nothing that says support heroes are a subset of support in bot lane.

honestly riot has no idea what they are talking about. i don't see how zyra isn't a support hero. by their definition:
Show nested quote +
Support characters are defined by being assisters and enablers for their allies – this is the core “support psychology” we want to achieve.

Show nested quote +
Zyra, while able to play the support role, is not a support champion by these definitions – she’s more like a mage with an off-spec.

i don't see how a bind (E) and a popup (R) and a slow (WE plants) are not assists/enablers. because they have good AP ratios? i don't know.

i am hoping that nami can be played in multiple lanes but i wouldn't be surprised if they try to pigeonhole her into a role. it's interesting to have support characters in solo lanes, like zilean/morg/janna, and that their role in teamfights is partially sustained damage but also partially support.

Think of the difference as this. Shields and heals are assist abilities. Movespeed slows or buffs and cc are enabling abilities. Syria has enabling abilities, but not assisting abilities, whereas Janna lulu and sona all have both. In contrast, soraka only has assisting abilities (maybe silence counts as an enabling ability... Seems like a stretch though).
Enabling abilities may be good for 0 farm bot laners, but that doesn't class them under the 'I'm going to help out my teammates by making them better' support archetype.
As has already been pointed out riots terms refer to underlying concept, and character design, rather than the comparatively narrow top jungle mid adc support.
Note I'm not defending anything, I'm just trying to show how it isn't a hard concept to grasp.

Having had any problems with stream loading on own3d, but own3d seems to be lagging a lot more on average than twitch. Definitely wasnt like that for me before.

That is actually a perfect explanation for why Riot thinks morello's is good/should exist. Yango so smart.

Edit: zzz sry for double didnt realize i could edit.

New HUD and Store look pretty cool.

Apparently you can also type TONS OF DAMAGE into the new search bar and Triforce will be listed. Well played.

You're suppose to put your E down first, to make it easier to hit your Q. If that helps at all.

They need to buff Lux by making her do the Sailor Moon taunt more often.

Make it happen Riot.

If it makes you feel better, I learned Lux before Morgana. The snares go at different speeds, and I feel very comfortable with Lux's snare, but I cannot land Dark Binding ever.

Liking the new HUD, seeing the skill leveling will be nice when watching streams. Shop stuff looks nice too, search function will be super useful. Although I wish they would have done the thing where consumables are just constantly shown in a bar at the top of the shop. Still, a welcomed improvement.

Supposedly the bindings go at the same speed.
It doesn't feel that way but I remember a Rioter saying it at some point.

I think Lux is one of the best champions Riot made (good job Shurelia). Despite being (AFAIK) hugely underpowered since her conception, she has enduring popularity in the playerbase. It's partly because she is fun to play, but also due to her artistic designs.

She has a surprisingly high skill cap to be played to her full potential. I've seen some pros make Lux look pretty overpowered. I think being able to hit skills shots consistently might have something to do with that.

Playing Lux was definitely a lot of fun. I kept getting on my team's nerves with my uncontrollable optimism while playing her.

surprisingly? all of her spells are skillshots
the key to lux really is just hitting your q, everything depends on it
