It will make the process of getting one if you're a player from China/any other "developing" country significantly easier.

Also Shiphtur pls.

Can a champion like Kog'maw ever be designed again? Referring to his passive here, which is kinda out of place on an ADC. I love him just for that though.

Been trying dorans blade start in the jungle with lee/udyr/xin, it's pretty strong. Never losing hp in jungle is nice. I usually get 2 lifesteal quints and go 9/9/12. The transition to going golem spirit stone and full tank is really smooth too.

judging by the comparison to NFL etc, the visa extension was for P1-As, which really is big news since the criteria include that the LCS is recognized as a 'major sports league'. see more at the uscis page

Yeah Spellbreaker is gonna be pretty ridic. I wants it on mid Quinn.

I heard they were making it melee only though, anybody have confirmation on that?


In other news, I find it hilarious how many bans are junglers. Nobody likes junglers.

Typical bans are like Blitz+Thresh, maybe Shen, and then 3-4 of your least liked junglers.


Well it's unfeasible to ban all the really strong champs, so your best bet is just to remove the most annoying ganks from the game.

Also I feel like in solo q its just about removing the champs with the easiest initiations. When the matches aren't as coordinated, having a Malphite/Hec ult is a pretty good signal for everyone to go in, and if the jungler is decent, it's usually a good call.

Also, Nunu is just dumb right now lol T_T

Wonder if EU guys will get a similar treatment since just traveling within Europe to different countries can be such a pain sometimes.

Riot may have cut down on international tournaments, but this will sure make any future ones easier on the players.

It's very easy to travel in all Europe if you're European yourself. I can imagine it can be complicated for other countries though (Gambit for example).

I agree with this so much. I never understand why it becomes my fault that you lost lane without their jungler showing up. It's not like I have a permanent tp up to just go places.

I guess that's one of the nice things about playing support, no one seems to notice your presence and just blames the adc (even if you made the play mistake).

I have also been doing this on shaco, with varying results. Though i have'nt ran it with lifesteal quints either. But it makes those first 3 ganks very scary. However if u don't get any kills u get so far behind, more then usual on shaco

Q max is solid; even in passive lane; the strong Q stun pretty much outstuns anything ran in botlane; so they're essentially forced to play safe or fucking eat giant shit from your Q and Vayne condem.

The biggest support I hate playing against is Janna; she forces a really passive lane; she's the only one that shuts down nami's offensive potential.

The circle doesn't get any bigger, and the stun doesn't last any longer when you max it. Why would you max Q on Nami instead of E (scaling slow) or W (stronger heal/more reliable poke than Q)

Q max is nice mid game, especially during Dragon fights when the CD gets low enough you can hit two important bubbles in a single fight. I can get behind E max, but I would almost never max W (mana cost too high for unreliable bounces)

The CD goes down (the other 2 skills have flat CDs), the mana cost stays the same (the other 2 spells have increasing CDs), and the damage per rank is exceptionally good for a support nuke.

The idea that leveling W gives you better poke compared to Q is totally laughable, particularly early game where you would be heavily hamstrung by the high mana cost of W if you actually used it like that.

Too bad I don't like buying Philo anymore I guess if Q max is out of the question I'd rather just max E.
