The difference between URF and other fun modes is that the drastically increased gold gain and 80% CDR make it the closest thing LoL has to a test mode for testing skill/champion/item interactions (creating repeatable test cases with 2 min CD ults or 5 min CD summoner spells is a nightmare). Though really a fully featured test mode should just be in the game already.

78% Sona win rate on URF - Enough said.

One for all imbalance is dwarfed at the sight of URF.

Cons of first picking Vi:
- Nocturne, Morgana, Sivir locked in
- after I do my "get fucked Noc" routine and countergank for the first blood, Jax gets wrecked by Rumble despite his TP and his completed item is a Banshee's Veil

Their mid was Nidalee so she just sat in the back and chucked spears. Urgh, once we got at least one tier2 tower and control around the baron area it was so hard to initiate on them. :[
Fuck y'all spellshields. Good thing Rumble was fed enough to melt anyone we caught or who decided to sit on us (Hi post-ult Noc) and I snowballed Draven hard enough that we could afford to initiate on Jax after popping his Banshee and still win fights.

I wonder who would win if the best EU, and best NA tl'ers played against each other.

EU maybe something like
teut/tolkien? (dunno if they've been playing much)
scip
?
enten/nafta?
sponkz/prog? (sponkz pls, y no d1)

no idea about na though, other then maybe loci

Great post that illuminates the problems with Riot's stance on 3rd party software:

Things that are now legal via "you can have it as long as it uses information that you already have!"

ENEMY COOLDOWN TIMERS
I can look up your runes/masteries. I can see your items. I can know what a skill's level is based on how much damage it does to me. (meaning I know the skill's cooldown)
EXAMPLE: enemy skill does 100/150/200/250/300(+1.0AP) damage with 20/19/18/17/16 cooldown
The enemy is level 8 with 200 AP and 20% CDR from runes/masteries/items I have 100 MR
The enemy hits me with that skill and does 175 damage
Do some basic math, and you can calculate that he has that skill at rank 2 based off how much damage it does to your MR. Now that I know it is at rank 2, I can calculate what the cooldown of that skill is. That skill's cooldown is 15.2 seconds.
I arrived at this conclusion based on information that is readily available to me. Under Riot's new 3rd party software policy, enemy CD timers are legal.

ENEMY WARD/TRAP TIMERS
I know the length of duration on enemy wards/shrooms/traps/etc. If I see an enemy place a ward, I know where it is and when it was placed. A mod that shows enemy ward locations that you saw placed is now legal.

LAST KNOWN ENEMY LOCATION
I can look at the map and see the enemy. When his icon disappears, I can begin to count. A mod that has an "Enemy last seen here X seconds ago" icon is now legal. Would be useful in knowing where the enemy jungler possible could be. "He was last seen 25 seconds ago top, heading towards his golems? We should be safe bot for another 30 seconds!"

ENEMY TOTAL GOLD COUNTER
You know how much each individual lane minion is worth. You know how many of each minion the enemy killed, since minions give vision. You can average how much gold they received from jungle minions. You know if they have gold/5 runes/masteries and you know the gold over time that everyone gets.

ENEMY RANGE AND TOWER RANGE INDICATORS
You can lolwiki the range of skills and tower shots. A mod that creates circles around enemy champions/towers indicating their auto attack and skill ranges is now allowed.
If Riot begins to allow 3rd party software, the game will become an arms race of who can get the best 3rd party software. You cannot say dragon/baron timers or ally ult timers are allowed because it uses information that you "earned", while the other mods i mentioned above are not allowed. It will then just become a "3rd party arms race of mods that Riot randomly chooses to be allowed" race.


League is a stats game. You can do some pretty seemingly unfair things if you can instantly perform complex calculations using all the stats that are "readily available" in-game. If you have 3rd party software that does complex calculations like this, there's no question you will have a huge advantage over a player that doesn't.

NA would be like skarnold/hazmat/smashgiz/chrispy/dusty? i think there are more high elo na players on TL, than high elo eu players. But not 100% sure.

I mean if we're working with WoW arena as the point of reference (which is the only possible point of reference really because no other comparable multiplayer competitive game was ever similarly open-minded toward add-ons except WoW), and we look at the amount of ridiculous stuff people got away with there, most of the stuff Sufficiency listed is not all that far-fetched.


It's not as comparable as WoW arena, but the Age of Empires 2 community embraced a large number of add-ons even at the tournament level (granted some add-ons were necessary just to make the game work), probably to a more significant degree than WoW arena ever did.

I don't like knowing teammates ult cooldowns. Even basic coordination is significant enough that riot gives duo queue groups an MMR disadvantage when they're facing groups without a duo in them, so they clearly think this level of communication is worth something tangible. Timers I could care less about. I agree with all the slippery slope stuff.

Also, I take back what I said about not enjoying non-FF lv4 gankers like Nautilus right now. The solution is just to build FF (eventually) since no-one will stop you from getting your levels alright, and counter-ganking feels less common now. I'm liking spirit stone -> madreds and boots -> tank item -> FF -> tank items, since usually when I build the wriggles it'll be close enough to 30 stacks that I don't have to sit on wriggles. Also enjoying the improved CDR/lv blues on him a lot.

Whenever I see a Teemo I pick Ol' Uncle Yorick and we have ourselves a fun time in the top lane.

Honestly I would play more Yorick if his ult wasn't a buggy POS that's impossible to control. Riot pls.

Come on, we all know how it works: you show up in a teamfight, they all start running at you, stepping on your shrooms, meanwhile your team is demolishing them. And if you get caught, you already demolished the top laner so hard that it's just a 4v4 anyway.

The thing is it'll be available in ranked 5s, which I think is laughable since hitting high challenger in ranked is one way to qualify for LCS qualification tournaments (I might be wrong about this though - please correct me if I'm wrong). So while it's disallowed in competitive play, teams will be able to use it to get an advantage to getting into competitive play.

If you actually believe a group of D1 players don't do everything the Curse Voice program does, already, your fooling yourself.


I have done Ranked 5's with a group of all D1 players where people are too lazy to communicate ult timers, and properly time dragon/barons.

It's mostly about how hard/seriously people are trying though. Doesn't help that 90%+ of ranked 5's games are stomps.

the context was "qualify for LCS qualification tournament", it's assumed trying to some degree of seriousness.

Hi Braum.

His W and R are almost exactly the same (in concept rather than technicalities) as 2 abilities I had for 2 "tanks"/disruptors concepts. Picture me pretty satisfied.
