Just double checking: Ranked decay only effects LP and has 0 effect on MMR, correct? I'm getting close to decay time but would rather avoid ranked until S4 actually starts.
I am 99% certain decay is disabled from preseason patch until the s4 starts, they chose to do that instead of 2 resets.
The ranked decay - which lowers your ranking based on extended periods of inactivity - will also be disabled, so if you choose not to play at all during League Of Legends Season 4 preseason then you won't be at risk of lowering your ranking registered on the 11 November.
With that said, the inactivity decay will still be active on the Challenger tier - so that's worth noting.

"X build tanky" As if you have 3k on you to drop for a randuin's etc.
Edit: Kpop Ahri is out.

Jesus christ look at this big LoL streamer list right now. Are we actually on TL?

I think Amumu needs to build tanky, but Sejuani can build things like Liandry and get away with it...
The reason I say this is because Sejuani has 3 different CCs and has very strong sticking power... you can stick to your target for quite a while so damage items will give you some pretty big boons... Amumu gets kited too hard, so damage items don't help as much. You might ad well build tanky because your APs won't do anything if you can't stick to your target to work your W/E ratios.

I think everyone needs to build tanky, by far best choice right now.

They said he is temporary until they find a new support. Unless they don't find anyone better.

No new models for that skin. They just recoloured the particles as far as I can tell.

I'm holding out for a Fox Fire sale myself.

There will be some good support free agents after the promos (NiD's support is free atm)

Sweet, they'll release 1vs1 as a featured game mode too

It would be stupid to not try and capitalize on the LoL market for TL. Although this is a site dedicated to the games from a company who could have pretty much owned the MOBA genre from the start

Also, on the tank or damage debate: OddOne has been saying for a few days now that going tanky is useless, you get instagibbed regardless (or rather, don't do enough in the short amount of time you are alive). Better build damage. Although he does go 21 defense on some champions. He just builds damage on all champions. Anecdotal evidence from his stream is for example an enemy nocturne who was tearing shit up early game. After two offensive items (i think Elder Lizard and Cleaver) he went tank. Proceeds to feed and not do ANYTHING in game. OddOne on Vi proclaims "PEOPLE IN LOW ELO WERE CORRECT ALL ALONG, THIS IS THE ULTIMATE BUILD!" - Elder Lizard, Triforce and Last Whisper.
Soooo yeah. That and the fact that he said repeatedly that the only champion to EVER build tank on is Olaf. He usually goes Tabis, three DBlades and Sunfire.
Edit: Btw, does anyone else feel like you can not farm properly in jungle anymore? People taking jungle ALL THE TIME directly from the start of the game. I feel like I have to farm nonstop so nobody else takes my shit. Oddone says a lot of stuff. Sometimes just to troll. Tank mumu and rammus still wrecking solo queue. I've seen AP Amumus and they suck.
I'm amazed oddone played the game for so long and doesn't understand mechanics like this. Often, especially when carries get more items building tank won't make you survive longer, but building damage might because you can insta kill someone. However that means you have to be in range to insta kill them.
If you build tank it still means you can get in range to help someone else kill them as well.
Also theres a point in the midgame where being tanky can make you massively unkillable and you can zone their team a lot.
This is highly situational, if they have 2 ADCs and zyra support an another AP mid and elise jungle then they have no tanks and being high damage is useful because they kill whatever is in range anyway so if you engage and have a bit more tank stats it wont help as much as doing way more damage on the engage if not killing one person outright.
If you are against a bruiser or AoE heavy team building squishy is just asking to get insta killed and then they collapse on the rest of your team

because they nerfed amumus AP ratios. ap amumu should be played like an assasin, but most people still play him like a tank and then die. when he had 1.0 scaling on his q and r people could play him wrong and still pick up a kill and then they nerf him to a more reasonable level and all the retards playing ap amumu because it was easy suddenly couldnt faceroll.
im not saying he was a strong pick ever, just that was there a dumb way to play him where you would feel important, and thats a really strong feeling in low elo.
on the subject of tanks and damage,i think its genuinly too early to tell. it seems like such a cop out to say that but i think its true here. people are playing so dumb/weird for mostly no reason at the moment that nothing can be said for certainty, especially not such a blanket statement like "all tanks are worse because of X". when people settle down and go back to play cautiously in ranked i think tanks overall will be roughly in the same place as before.
Although there is elements to amumu that help you to go for squishies (The best I think is just high magic pen and max cdr Q), most definitely the prime directive is to engage, you can then follow up and chase a squishy. However amumuas AP ratios are so bad that its definitely not the best way to play. Builidng tank is much more important because you get more time alive to Q people which is damage cc and a gapcloser. However building pure tank might not be worthwhile against a damage heavy team unless you're too underfed that you need tank just to engage and die.
Also the point of being a tank is that you don't die, not that you do. People play too confident on tanks and go in too deep and die far too often because they're tanks and "lol they focus me and we win".
