So, is the consensus that Lucian is OP despite the fact his Q sometimes costs twice the normal mana?

He's probably not OP but he's got some decent deeps.

Edit: Although the ult CD is pretttttty low.

Well, that intro is far far better than anything they've done before.

Haven't seen a lucian yet on launch day despite playing ranked much of the day. Not a bad day. Also grinding my way up to diamond, 4-6 points at a time. Going is slow, and throws are massive, but making progress.

I'm not quite sure why alistar has such a low winrate on lolking, is it because people don't take the time to learn him? He's pretty strong especially if your team needs initiation and beef from the support position. Can't really pick him into a pokey lane, but he's so good otherwise.

If you're the top or jungle, what do you do against that? Pick someone who can handle a ranged lane and try to get a Thornmail and build tanky? I feel like Thornmail is so strong but never used.


Just pick a "sticky" team. Basically, just pick a team that is impossible to peel off. Lots of slows, lots of gap closers, lots of speed ups, etc. Off the top of my head, mundo, jax, irelia, rumble for top and xin, j4, lee sin, and maokai jungle. You also need your team to be able to follow up for this to work.

I think Zyra, Sona and Nami being so popular these days makes Alistar a sad cow.
I'm not even sure how he performs vs a thresh in lane.

Because he's old as heck and costs 450 ip (and therefore suffers from power creep and lolmana), and that headbutt pulverize combo is a little finnicky-- if you mess it up, it really sucks. I've got at least 100 games with him, and I still mess it up sometimes because of ping on different internet and other reasons. He's not really an amazing initiator without flash for a surprise WQ, and he still needs HP to be effective.

Like, why would you play Ali with a risky WQ combo when you could play like Leona (EQ so much safer, W makes her tanky R great initiation) or Thresh or Blitz for a much safer and easier hook? He's a melee support with no real way to get around the Sona/Lulu/Nami triangle except a mediocre heal.

This is not a rant, nor i need to go to QQ thread, its a genuine concern, ill try to be as explicit as possible, yet i have a mediocre english at best, so please bear with me.

I liked to play Starcraft 1, back in the PGT days, used to be B- Rating(not much by foreign or korean standards but still lets say i was very bad at the time, and i would own the random pug).

Im completly lost in this game, i dont really have much time to play as i used to when i was in school(work as an internal lawyer for a smallish company in Mexico).

I try to play ranked using the best possible mindset to me, i tend to withstand losses very well and not to rage at all, i used to watch smashgizmo stream to find out about the current meta, as he tends to ramble(not sure if this word is correct not trying to be offensive or anything) about the whole scene and the viable strats today.

I know there is a "how to get better thread" i think i need to get pointed out my mistakes to me, anyone willing or is there an initiative to people that are bad, but are willing to get better.

Thx in advance.

And some guy in my one game suggested to make a burglar lucian skin. LOL oh god.....this is so terribly wrong.


This is what happens when for you have 3 year drought because Riot's policy on champion ethnicity was "we aren't racist there just aren't black people in runeterra". If champions had been ethnically diverse sooner it wouldn't have been so unusual and the community might have move passed it by now. But then maybe I'm giving the community too much credit...

The funny thing is they would rather have a 6 year old girl fight a giant tentacle monster from the void. But a black guy? NOPE, we ain't got none of them here. lol
It's so ridiculously funny to me. Glad we're going to have more variety than "giant boob with feet" and "tall muscular white dude" though.

Just popping in to say that I am black like most of my friends and that we are excited that there is finally a black character in the game. I re installed even. Just saying it's about damn time!

California is way more ethnically diverse than Runeterra is.

I didn't have a concept of what "racism" was growing up until I left California, really.
