Alright, we're going to call it a day with all the Thorin drama, guys. I figured if it was about SI, onGamers, TSM, etc, it had some relevance to League but somehow you guys managed to devolve the discussion into an issue about race of all things.

Enough is enough. Let's move along now.

I really prefer Vi. Her ult is pretty deadly too and she is way more mobile and flexible.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Unless your other two lanes lose because the other team has a jungler who can do something without their ult.

Someone from TL writes for Ongamers right? Should really notify whoever does the web design stuff to do a better job of separating interview videos, Reflections, Summoning Insight, and what not.

So what would it take for Riven to start seeing play again? Is it just that her hp/5 got gutted, or metagame shifts, or what? I feel like if she had better hp/5 she'd see some pocket play in pro games, not just as random picks from the guys who play nothing but her.

Also, carried myself out of bronze into Silver, basically used Vi to ult my way into Silver.

Edit: I know she can still carry/snowball harder than most champs, but it seems that if she falls behind or gets camped early on she'll just be a non-factor.

lol shes still really good. shes never a bad pick imo. she snowballs harder than almost any other champion with just one or two kills randomly and she will turn into a team slaying nightmare

There isn't a big problem with a jungler who needs lvl6 to do stuff, there is a big problem if such a champion can't jungle for dick. Warwick is the slowest thing that could still be barely considered a jungler. If you have a thing for champions who have strong lvl6 ganks at the cost of not doing anything before lvl6 try out Skarner and be amazed what a mspeed skill and 35 seconds faster lvl6 do for you

Most junglers use level 6 to make plays. Even Sejuani, Rengar, and Lee, champs with cc and gap closers before 6. I think it's partly because the jungle items don't add much damage to champions (machete adds none and neither does spirit stone), partly because the jungle is so tough (low on life so you start dueling someone and they threaten to kill you), trinket wards (even people who don't buy wards see you coming half the time) and teleport (top laners never stay when they're low).

Like I can certainly gank with Sej pre 6 and it's advantageous to do so considering Warwick can't even consider it, but given all the above, it's often hard to find a situation where the gank works out unless I have ult and ganks are way more effective with ult.

All I'm saying is that it's not strictly wrong to wait until 6 to gank as one of those champs. Don't force ganks.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I do think that it is necessary to specialize if you are going to make it into challenger/pro though. There's no way around it. Teams don't need players that play all roles and those that specialize will have a huge advantage over you.


Chances are that Player A played for a longer time and Player B is improving at a faster rate.
Obviously this is not prevelant in EVERY case but it is much easier to learn the game when you play specific champions - when you play 50 different champions you'll most likely learn less about the game and more about the champion you're playing.

When playing on comfort champions you can focus on different skills.

Edit: Basically what I'm saying is that if your goal is to learn the game, one of the most effective ways is to specialize and then when you get to the highest level you can start branching out.

I think they patched a thing where it was easier to kite camps in 4.8. I literally never had them full reset when hitting them as Kayle/Jayce. There's still an issue where often when I jump to camps (Lee, Sej) the camps don't attack me back.

I'd take knowing 2 champions really well and being shitty/mediocre at 8 others, than being decent at 10 champions any fucking day.

I started playing Karma in like D3. Peaked in D1 at around a 65% win rate over 20 games on her. Started playing Ryze somewhere around there and did fine on him as well. Same with Warwick.

Obviously there's no way to prove it and it's all personal opinion. Same goes with everything everyone else is saying about this matter. In pre-season 1 and season 1 I played all kinds of different roles and a lot of different champions (and I wasn't doing so well).
Then in early Season 2 I restricted myself to Akali, Kassadin and Sion and I saw myself quickly improving (not only with the champions but in general), and then I branched out from there by playing a champion a couple of times in normals before starting ranked and I was easily able to compete with other champions in the high ratings (from around 1500 Elo in Season 1 to top 25 EUNE in Season 2).

I know a lot of people in high ratings did it the same way. Bjergsen for example used to basically only play Cassiopeia and a bit of Morgana.

This new ardent cleanser is going to be crazy on Karma. Just mantra E your whole team at the beginning of a fight, then with 40% CDR you can just keep the attack speed buff up on your ADC 100% of the time. I can't really see it making it into the game in its current state.

I think the Athenes nerf is going to be big. When I mid, half the time I don't get blues. Chalice is the only thing preventing me from backing every 4 minutes. Catalyst might become a good replacement.
