Vi isn't very Debonair as a character. its really out of place. but vi is very strong and popular so she sells skins better than someone like sona who would fit the word better. But for future reference, Debutante comes from the word Debut.

Maybe his opinion is that by trying to give small buffs to various skills for the ADCs that they're trying to make them more niche picks? I mean, in a general sense it looks like they want the various champs they buffed to do different roles:
- Graves will be a more bruiser-y, in your face ADC with strong cone-shaped attacks on the Q and R (they still need to give his R an execute though).
More like not have given Jinx a copypasted amped up version with global range to begin with... that spell alone steals his "niche" (since his passive doesn't do much to make him tankier, especially against frontloaded stuff like mages whose first spellcasts will put him too low for the additional 15 MR to do much).

It has more to do with thematic city-state/lore stuff. Debonair skins are looking to be a Piltover exclusive thing.

Listen, I just gave my impressions of what Riot wants, but lets be honest here: no one, not even Riot, knows what the *** they're doing 95% of the time. It's literally a bunch of chimpanzees smashing keys on a typewriter: eventually someone's gonna get Shakespeare, but until then it's gonna be a bunch of unreadable garbage.

Riot is turning Debonair from a Valentines day skin into a Piltover skin line, akin to how Crimson Elite, Commando, Bio-Forge, and Steel Legion are.

Then someone likely to actually visit high society like the sheriff would probably have been a more apt choice than an ex-con.

Reformed ex-con and now upstanding member of the community, even if she doesn't leave building in such a situation. Don't hate on Piltover Roffles.

Riot just wants a diverse meta with plenty of counter-play and no anti-fun elements

* Major rework for a popular champion
* Sick new skins for MF + Kayle

"with nerfing braum and thresh, nami might become a good pick, so we nerf her right now before that even happens".
This riot reasoning.
And also, they reduced the snowballing, so of course people are picking late game carries.
Are you guys really discussing skin-lore compatability?
How about corporate mundo, what a terrible skin, doesnt fit mundos lore at all. oO

totally fits his lore. he goes where he pleases. someones gotta tell his board room that the formula failed. might as well be him.
and i dunno if i'd say they reduced the snowball. at all. its more they nerfed the diving and the champs that were strong early mostly. games are decided based on the first fight still.

CLG just took full dumpster of LCS lol.

i didnt follow LCS, where does clg stand that they bootcamp in korea?

Are you fucking kidding me?
My main champ is getting an arcade skin?
Praise be to the Riot gods. They finally did something right!

cant drop out of playoffs, cant get the semi bye so all they lose is potential blue/purple choice.
Also Seraph is 100% missing so they probably thought they wouldnt get much use out of playing with a sub anyone so instead go for the bootcamp to make worlds.

I think that at worst case they go into playoffs in 6th place, but that would mean they'd play the 3rd place team (which will probably be TSM or C9). If the subs can get a win they probably get themselves 4th or 5th and will play against Dig or Curse.

Jet lag?
How long till playoffs anyways? Seems like a real risk. Basically at least 4 days of the whole team feeling shitty.
