It's not really a complicated web. You set it up you get RP, you don't set it up you don't get RP. Pretty similar to rebates.
I am curious if Paypal counts, though I doubt it.

It appears that it only covers federal funds and employer paychecks. Federal funds are probably the tax returns mentioned.

What advantage would an AD+Armor item have over, say, just getting a bloodthirster plus a randuins? There isn't a rule in lol that says "every item in your inventory shalt have offensive stats"

If they don't want to build health they can always just sit on Chain Vest/Warden's Mail and move on. They're not going to get significantly more armor than that from a hybrid AD/Armor item anyway.
The problem here is that now you have a dead end item. Warden's Mail doesn't build into an AD+armor item, so for certain bruisers you either sit on it forever or finish it into an item that gives stats you don't necessarily want. Same with Chain Vest. Note that that this isn't an issue with MR; there are two good choices for MR+AD, mercurial and maw. And maw has hexdrinker which is an excellent laning item for champs that want AD + MR.
Sure if you fast forward like 8k gold to your end game you have all the armor and AD you want, but it's better to have more options to get the stats that your champ itemizes best off of.
I guess I just want an item like hexdrinker but for armor.

It's a hassle to set up a direct deposit with your employer, especially if you want it to be a one time thing, a partial amount, or simply then and back again. The fact that the bulk of the reward would come from setting up a direct deposit (10k RP) would not be innocent. It's a trap and part of the complicated web of financial shenanigans that preys on the poor and unsuspecting. loooooooooooooool

Again, why does every finished item in your inventory need to have AD+armor? If your ideal full build includes two AD+armor items, you can do just as well with getting a BT+randuins.
And even AD carries will typically get 1 fully defensive item, so I really don't see any case where you'd want some armor but not want a full randuin's for some reason.
(Yes, I know randuin's has health, you can substitute thornmail/FH if you really want to even though randiuns is just so much better in most cases)
I guess what you really want is an AD+armor option that has the insane cost-efficiency of hexdrinker. Hexdrinker isn't good because it has hybrid stats, it's good because the stats are so damn efficient. And I'm not sure a super-efficient armor+AD option would be good for the game.

I disagree with the following premises:- It is a problem to have a dead end item.
- It is a problem to sit on an unfinished item forever.
- It is better to have more options.
Basically, we have a disagreement at a fundamental level.
I have a couple of questions for you that might help illuminate matters.- How much Armor and AD does our hypothetical bruiser need out of their 1465g?
- Can you name one bruiser for whom Randuin's, GA, Frozen Heart, and Thornmail are suboptimal items?

New Janna skin, to be honest, is better than Spirit Guard. Its like having a blonde April O'Neil.

Wood 5 player asking, but how does everyone feel about the Draven Passive change? I know there was a lot of complaining about it way back when, but the more I think about it, the more I feel it could be used to completely bully an enemy player that happens to be feeding. The gold penalty for killing a feeder wouldn't affect Draven nearly as much as anyone else, not to mention focusing the weak link of the group will only produce more toxicity between the enemy team even more. Now that his passive is twice as effective, I think that style of play completely fits his role as a showboating executioner.
It's not twice as effective during the game, just for the first kill really. It's going to put more gold in dravens hands sooner in the game especially in the cases where both players die as long as draven gets the kill first because he won't lose any stacks. To add you your point about killing feeders over and over, as long as draven has plenty of stacks to cash in it's well worth it. It's also better in team fights as seen below:
OLD passive with kill streak:
1st kill = 100 stacks = 150 gold
2nd kill = 50 stacks = 75 gold
3rd kill = 25 stacks = 37.5 gold (total=262.5)
NEW passive with kill streak:
1st kill = 100 stacks = 300 gold
2nd kill = 0 stacks = 0 gold
3rd kill = 0 stacks = 0 gold (total=300)
Essentially if you would steam roll their team with a PENTA you get the same gold only now you only have to get that first kill to score the same amount of gold. It levels out if draven ever falls behind so that he can cash in his stacks to catch up as long as he gets at least 1 kill before dying.
If draven is going 10-0-0 in games then there's really no difference from old to new passive.
If draven is going 5-5-5 in games then its a great buff to keep him from snowballing behind.
This puts more emphasis on getting that first kill in your lane, allowing you to snowball faster!
TL:DR It's a moderate BUFF to his passive, nothing game breaking.

Yi fell into the classic trap of being a viable melee carry. I shoulda known he was gonna get fucked.

So is the new Phage still going to build into only FM and TF?

Only Triforce.

this pretty much solidifies the Triforce as hot garbage now no?

Wat? He's a noob stomper and if you got sufficiently fed could spam Alphas until the other team died. There's nothing particularly interesting there, and he was (and is) super vulnerable to any kind of hard lockdown etc. How is that viable?

I think this is a bit much to say. If you have an MS advantage on irelia or Jax and get an opening, you can pretty much auto them all the way til they hit tower because of the huge MS disparity. You'll get fewer autos in comparison to a best case scenario phage, but compared to a worse case scenario phage, it's really, really good.

you are forgetting that Triforce now has 0 health

change got reverted. It's back to health from armor. Too much backlash I'm assuming.

They reverted that. Phage and Trinity Force and back to health.
