Least I've seen in a game post-patch was 5-6 relic shields, most was 9. 4 is the absolute minimum you'll see, given bot lane duo will always start with it now. Most teams have switched onto 4 relic shields already. Wasn't that like, two days ago?  | ||

I played normally, like 2-0 in lane but still nothing too weird. And at 20min I have BOTRK + LW + Brutalizer + tier 2 boots? Also funny when our team pushes as 5 and I can just constantly hear the relic shield "dindindin dindindin dindindin dindindin" | ||

I want to stay up to date with the changes and adapt to the new season but I will let somebody else focus test this absurdly broken shit. It's just no fun. Every game is a boring, throw-filled slugfest of rage and 1-2 players per team who have no idea that there's been a patch and play like idiots. I feel like I dropped 3 tiers. You can just play the one-for-all mode or ARAM. It's usually a more relaxed atmosphere. | ||

The interactions are new but that's how new champs work. | ||

The problems that have emerged from the new patch have nothing to do with complexity. They have everything to do with incomplete QA. | ||

The orb animation is a bit obnoxious though, adds a ton of visual interference which is something Riot has worked hard to reduce for brand new spectators watching a tournament stream or something. My big complaint though is similar to Elementz video if anyone watched that. Not being able to pink your opponents lane wards blows. Scanner doesn't really stop it, maybe when Relic Shield isn't an auto-start I can go back to starting mass wards and both my AD and I can start scanner or something. | ||

His Q has double activation based on a secondary resource that also has additional interactions based on the other spells in his kit The result is you're going to end up with something that's much harder to balance. Like Lee Sin continues to be op as shit just because he has 7 skills | ||

All I can think of is: we should be more concerned about deflationary pressures than inflationary pressures, this question is bogus. In fact, in an ideal world, USD inflation right now would be a good thing, but as a world reserve currency, not happening despite QE. /endshitpost This delay for the last Quantic v. vVv game is agonizing. | ||

The problem is that with boots, sightstone and much dollar, supports currently don't want slot inefficient items and shouldn't get it. Atm i think we just dick around, enjoy it, but complain at all times in the hope that they fix the game before we get bored. | ||

You would think that if you wanted to reign in snowballyness it would be as simple as turning a single knob that controlled the exponential/logarithmic advantage curve, but instead we have all these mechanics working against each other that, while they work fine most of the time, can create weird edge cases (like suicidal split pushers). It's only doubly weird when I compare stuff like the new jungle experience mechanics to baseball or soccer which have completely flat advantage. I suppose that someone with experience in game design could tell me what it was all about, as it is I'm kind of confused as to why all these hidden things have to work against each other. | ||

5 Leona gets even dumber when they build IBG. Infinite hard CC, infinite soft CC, infinite damage. | ||

Come level 6, you have infinite chained single target CC and a stupid amount of damage from all the skills adding a passive proc and popping the one already added lol. Why not just 5 Vi and assault and battery somebody to dead? | ||
