I wonder which of my favourite champions is gonna get destroyed next by a "rework". They absolutely butchered Skarner, he lost everything that made him Fun to play and they nerfed him overall on top of it.
Hope they leave shaco be for a bit, I'm sure his rework will make him generic and boring aswell
wtf, the skarner rework frankly is one of their best. There is nothing good design-wise that comes from having a permanent but melee range slow, the heal was good for AP lulz but nothing else, the ult (the signature part of the kit) was flat out buffed so people no longer flash away during windup. In-game he actually plays almost identically to how he played before except you now have a reason to use E. The rework didn't make it so that you don't Q when they're in range, don't do the flip movement when you use R, or don't use W to help catch people. In terms of reworks this one was SUPER MILD. I mean, just look at Xerath, who's from THIS PATCH: he went from constant W->Q spam siege tank mechanics with RE for teamfights to... rooting himself every minute or so just for ultimate while gaining two more skill shots. His button-press gameplay is completely changed. And yet you say *Skarner* was the one butchered who lost everything that made him fun!
I'm not complaining about Xerath here, I'm just saying that if you think the Skarner rework utterly ruined him then I can't imagine a rework in the universe that you'd be satisfied with unless you actually didn't like the champion to begin with.

Yeah, I saw the messages too (there are different colors on the minimap to show the buffs too), but Yezzus is talking about in his smurf games in Silver on NA. I mean, you'd have told me back in s2, I could have understood, at there were macros somewhat popular at that time, but a bunch of people have picked up the habit of timing shit (well, mostly drake, I'm the only one I saw timing buffs and wards (Scip doesn't count it's in IHs)), if only after seeing TOO do it on stream, back when he was the most popular streamer.
Edit: uh? Never saw that one. Well, my bad then.
And damn lifesteal working off of Draven's Q is so disgusting in that video, when he kites Renekton (who was pretty fed too, he had 6 kills at that point iirc and took the outer top tower, so he must have had some damage).
I also time inhibitors. I am the only person whom I have ever seen do that though :3

psst ... the timer bot for inhibitors is integrated into the game itself

It only tells you 20 (25?) seconds ahead of time. Often you need to know a minute ahead in order to properly time a push :3

It also makes you a tryhard and I dont know about others but I dont want to be considered one.

Why haven't I ever seen you time inhibitors when we're playing inh-
Oh.

On a second review it wasn't funny, that's why I edited it out. Not nearly clever and enough witty enough.

I think there was real value to Skarner not needing to have his E in the old kit. Its not even a 1 Point wonder now, which is really an important thing to have in most kits.

So how am I suppose to playout the leblanc matchup as lulu? Or any caster for that matter. It feels impossible to retaliate if leblanc gets the silence off.

I really want a baron/dragon timer program to be honest. There is no actual skill in timing numbers and add 6/7. This is the biggest reason why I don't like playing jungle.

You know there is an option that times baron/dragon if they are in vision and you just need to add 6/7 rite?

My troll sense is tingling....
Too much work implies you know this is the case but simply don't care. I get that this is more than likely the case, but I feel like you do care or you wouldn't have gone out of the way to find a mod for it.
Also mods in league is dumb. Equal playing field is what makes this game worth it to me. The second you start adding these things in means all hope is lost/abandon ship/go to dota2.

Is the first paragraph to me? Because I never stated I found it . I am highly against it. It gives a slight advantage esp on teams where no one times anything. And I sai too much work as semi sarcasm because I rarely time things I rely on my team lol. U less it's a late game important baron

If lulu is like soraka, you can press whimsy on her out of range and if she dashes at you she'll be cc'd before she can cast
