I really like this video: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/champions-skins/skin-preview/legend-dragonblade-riven

The media featured in the video are pretty simple, but it feels really good.

That interviewer was pretty good. He knew what notions the audiences had which had to be dispelled, and he knew what would impress them, and guided the discussion towards those topics. Was refreshing to see an interviewer who actually asks relevant questions and guided the discussion, rather then giving some really open statement, then leaving the interviewee to their own devices for 2-3 minutes at a time.

A shelf-life of decades seems like a rather ludicrously optimistic prediction given how quickly the gaming industry cycles.

some of the comments on the renekton """""""buffs""""""""" are actually hilariously funny to read


I don't know how on earth you could consider reduced healing until q is level 5 a buff. The damage on slice and dice is also way down at level 5 (up by 10 at level 1), unsure about the % armor penetration being removed and being made a slow, but accounting for the 30 damage lost on both the slice and the dice I have a very hard time seeing that being a net buff. It's not like Renekton is a pick champion, and he's already stunning whoever he happens to be on so a slow isn't exactly the most enticing thing in the world. Not to mention Randuin's pretty much already does that for him (and its active slow is better).

I thought he was being sarcastic since there was a Red post that said they were looking to nerf Renekton's early game and buff his lategame. The PBE changes are nerfs all around.

As some might have noticed l, I have been posting rants on Lucian last week during the NA LCS thread. I want to hear people's opinions because I am not sold on him as a top AD that everyone thinks he is. I feel that he is strong vs a team comp of squishes but in this meta with my do and shyly so strong I don't see him doing damage. Mind you I have over a hundred ranked games with him but I quit him because he doesn't feel right anymore.

I feel that unless you get fed early in lane or my team gets fed, that I don't do much damage throughout the game to tanks supports such as Leona Taric or the tanks top and jungles right now. Why do teams value him so much? I watched him in LCS and he has been doing pretty poorly yet almost always picked. I feel like cait and jinx are much stronger , even ez real .

I'm not sayin he's bad because I know his power, but in this meta and vs tanks I don't think he's the best like he is considered top 3. Thoughts?

Take this for what it's worth from a scrub, but I really don't find he does enough damage early on to make up for his late game. He's still an ADC, but really, in teamfights I feel like he's forced to skirt around fight a lot more than others while not having near the damage output others have. He is safe though, so there's that. I'd put him in spot 3 maybe.

His latest nerfs have gated his ability to be an unmitigated lane bully, and other top ADC picks (Jinx, Sivir, and Varus imo) can go roughly even with him with a "better" late game.

He remains a very strong pick if you want safety, but his early/midgame transition is nowhere near as dominant as before.

Still utterly crushes a number of ADCs though even after Q range nerf. He's no longer a worse matchup for Vayne than Cait but...still pretty close.

He's somewhat close to Ezreal in terms of ADC niches..

Kayle's burst was ridic. I'm glad I can no longer get 2-shot as an ADC. Now I can worry about getting 3-4 shot instead. That's better.

Still a very viable counterpick against a number of champs, however. Kha6 and other reset assassins hate her with a passion.

Lucian is the safest ADC right IMO. I dont think think hes that great, but his existence stops a great many other ADCs from being viable, like S3 Worlds Corki (although he was uber strong).

Any ADC with a free, highly responsive (not 90 caliber net) flash is going to always be very safe. Lucian's in a slightly better spot than Ezreal right now due to his skirmishing power, so he's seeing a lot of play for the safety reason.

All of them except Kha are alright.

On Vi: people will learn to pick support Morg against her.

Vi/Elise don't 2 shot you. Vi sets you up to be 2 shot, Elise can kinda 2 shot you early but her damage falls off hard.

Kha/Grag can 2 shot you, but they're both receiving pretty hefty nerfs.

I see many people bring up Lucian's safety not power. My question is do you think he's good to "carry" in soloque. I feel like he can't carry games or be a game changer like jinx, cait, vayne etc. he's very reliant on his team
