With the improved Tiamat and Ravenous Hydra I think we're going to see more lane swaps.
1v2 lanes would be better (I'm looking at you Olaf) and more champions could go bot in a 1v2 (Health regen + Life steal + Active AOE Ability => Sustained Waveclearing anybody?)
Then with early towers down in your 2v1 lane (if you don't get countered / you don't screw up), the support can buy the promote item => promote your botlane => you group and take objectives.
This would counter people trying play lategame heros in the new jungle

I think the only problem with lux is that her passive requires her to move into a far closer range than all the rest of her skills. Kind of contrary ideas

I hate lux players so much,I don't know why but I just do.(ares you don't count)

Really like most of the changes, especially the search bar. The new look looks more sharp and smart, however while its nice to see the skill leveling when someone is streaming more easily, I actually dont like the skill level icons, looks weird to me for some reason. I feel like there should be an option to toggle item hotkey display and skill level indicator, I can see it getting a bit too cluttered, I get the same feeling when I play dota regarding the item skill level. It's a minor thing though.
Overall liking the changes.

Also, I doubt an underpowered champion would be picked up during the world finals.

Okay, maybe not that surprising, I guess I just meant her kit is pretty straightforward.
Also slightly off-topic, whats a good, relatively cheap gaming mouse for LoL?

Also, I doubt an underpowered champion would be picked up during the world finals. the champion pool for pro tourney plays and solo queue are starting to differentiate quite a bit. Zilean can be quite powerful in coordinated plays, but very underwhelming in solo queue. I think a lot of Lux's strength are amplified in a very clean kite comp, and poke comp play, but it's pretty hard to abuse these strengths in uncoordinated solo queue play. There quite a few champs that aren't great in solo queue, but significantly better in coordinated plays

Isn't gaming mouse a scam? The increased precision won't help you for LoL.
|
Most of it is a scam, IMO. Even fps players tend to play on low sensitivity to keep precision

Precision in what sense? When I think of gaming mice I think of mice like the N-52 which have lots of easy reach buttons so you can have easier access to more hotkeys. Are gaming mice supposedly more precise in how they read mouse movements?

IIRC the way a lot of pros do it is max the sensitivity on the mouse, and then lower sensitivity in menu's to the desired level. Gaming mice aren't scams, however I purchase mice based more on ergonomics than specs. Still using MX-518(3rd one, probably the last one I will go through).

man didn't they just redo the HUD and people complained because they couldn't resize it like the old one? still looks nice though. i had also thought they were gonna add summoner spells to the side icons but i guess not.
i love how you can finally search for items though. one of the things i got super used to in dota, along with shift click for shortcut buys. too bad those aren't in there yet.

Yeah, you go 0/0/35 on soraka and you're like, man, if only I got mejais...
The next game you get mejais, but then people actually start focusing you, and you're soraka

The new HUD screenshot shows some interesting stuff about the new Zeal: -20g -5% Attack Speed -1% Movement Speed
The cost reduction is because Dagger now costs 400 instead of 420.
Also new Catalyst and DFG Active. Also RoA 225g cheaper. Catalyst: -125g -90 Health -25 Mana Passive Health restoration reduced to 150 (currently 250).
|
I was hoping they'd make bigger changes than that, to be honest
|
Looks like catalyst is getting a nerf along with a 150 g price decrease (sorry if old). Also Dcap nerf.
