Yeah I think the biggest hit the CDR boot change would have is on ADs who wanted to build it, since they just don't have good CDR itemization options.

Even stuff like CDR boots Riven or Corki or Ezreal or whatever I think a lot of people already argued as being bad, and now it will be even worse.

No. But we would complain about the cap being 35%

I feel even 40% is pretty arbitrary and that we're just used to it being that way for so long. With proper champion cooldown balancing, LoL could have worked if it started with a CDR cap of anywhere from 25-50%. People just like to complain about stuff =(.

40% hits some pretty important CD timings.
In progames, you only need to hit around 20% cdr with items, the rest should be covered up by blue and blue pot.

Although, this nerf does hurt Blue Build Ez quite a bit. Can never get 40% with items now.

Considering how awful it is to play against a low cd ranged aoe slow, this is acceptable collateral damage.

Lemme make this clear to everyone reading.

If your teammates are idiots, why are you in the same bracket as them? Some people can have bad games. You probably have bad games too. Shit happens. Fucking deal with it instead of crying about how you're stuck in some ELO hell and you can't get out. If you can't progress, maybe it's time for you to realize that maybe you suck cock too.

How do high ELO players get to where they are? It's because they play better, have good mechanics, and probably have somewhat of an understanding of the game. Why are you stuck where you are? Because you probably are not as good as you think you are.

Stop crying. Stop bitching. Play the fucking game. It's the same shit every fucking season. If your mentality is that you're absolutely better than everyone else you're playing with, you're most likely deluding yourself from recognizing your misplays and preventing you from improving.

Play the game, and stop fucking crying about your teammates. Prove that you're truly better than those "idiots".

I feel like both of these posts deserve some sort of moderation, but that's just me.

Those support item changes seem kind of neat. It's a straight buff to all three items though, I wonder how that will effect stuff and things.

I agree that the boots changes seem exceptionally strange. It might make CDR boots more attractive to supports, but will certainly make them less attractive to everybody else.


look again and I think you'll find the changes solidify coin as the best gold item by far.

That might be true. It's still a buff to all three of them though.

oh for sure, but with dshield nerfs on the way did they need buffs outside of making all 3 options viable?

edit: actually Targon's route is imo, heavily nerfed. I go into (way too much) detail in the PBE thread

I agree with this trail of thought so much. but im still waiting for the massive winstreak im going to get after all these losses from the megafeeders D: (seriously though, roffles 100% right, my last 30 games = exception to rule.)

I feel like both of these posts deserve some sort of moderation, but that's just me.

A better response: to advance MMR, you need to stop caring how well your teammates are doing, and focusing on your own performance/play. For instance, Nightblue3 suggests you treat all teammates as bots. If they do poorly, whatever; if they carry, great job annie bot! You get the idea.

Raging at teammates is the #1 sign that you aren't improving.

Also the QQ thread is thadaway.
edit: and whatever Roffles just said.

6 CDR blues ought to solve it. You trade off 7-8 MR, but whatevs.

Riven I can live with getting nerfs.

unless you've played around 150-200 games there's really no point in discussing "where you are" it takes time to climb the ladder. I quit and decayed down to gold but now after 200 games im back at mid diamond, just keep grinding.

Yeah even if you could consistently maintain a 60-70% win ratio, it seems like it would take hundreds of games at that ratio to climb from a 1200 MMR starting position to the top of the ladder.

if you can maintain a 70% ratio it would take you less than 100 games.
