The thing about Azir is that soldiers don't apply on hit effects. So while you get a nice free 40% attack speed from nashor's tooth you don't get the delicious passive except when your soldiers are not in range.

Also, banner of command doesn't work with soldiers. Probably a good thing because they're untargetable.

i cant fucking believe they still didnt nerf cancer nidalee

A few months ago everyone thought Nid was weak ass shit. I'd hit spears, and often not be able to follow up.
She had like the lowest win rate in the game.

Her winrate on the 24th was like 45%. That's really low. In addition there is counterplay to Nid which is just staying behind minions. The hitbox is no longer so stupid that it hits you through minions sometimes. Cancer is stuff that makes you feel like you have no options. That makes the game no fun. Nid can't get in range post 6 in laning to poke many champs without fearing for retaliation.

In addition she has no CC so she can't support ganks except with damage. If you get some lifesteal to keep your health up, you shouldn't get so low she can outtrade some of the melee duelists.

Her mid game spears can still be considered annoying, but almost no one builds her AP anymore so the spear damage doesn't hurt, and the range, damage, and hitbox were all significantly nerfed in her rework. I'd consider long range APs like Ziggs, Lux, and Xerath to be far harder to play around. Lux and Xerath less for their cooldowns and mana costs.

The Q on veigars hand has the tail on the left side instead of the right.

It's not even just a giant NOPE skill, it even looks like a giant NOPE skill.

He's also got the biggest requirement of a sieging/pushing champion - An obnoxious laugh.

I am excited about this guy. I haven't been this excited about a champion since Lissandra. Plz don't fail me Rita.

At least his wall ability is an Ulti, not a regular skill.

Pretty sure NA is dying, or at least spazzing out really hard.

twitch is also dead.

i wish the authorities would be more interested in catching those ddos attackers, they cause a lot of damage, but all the police will see is kids shutting down a gaming website or a game for an evening and wont bother to backtrace.

The FBI was/is able to backtrack users of that TOR network thingy by very sophisticated routing analysis, but they only do it for drug cases etc.

Possibly? I mean, I'd assume you'd max the soldier summoning spell first to clear jungle faster. I guess the ganks could be ok too, seeing as the Q slows and the ult can potentially stop them from retreating to a turret or force them to blow flash over the wall.

You'd want some CDR though, so I guess I'd probably go Wraith > Morellos on him to get 30% before blue buff.

Well, with like straight CDR runes though he'd have wicked atack speed.

Then you could build tanky and essentially be a slow / knockup / gtfo my AD / Pick bot.

Well, now maybe with Amazon involved, Bezos et al will direct some focus.

if you're talking about the Silk Road case it's a little different. The guy who ran it got caught cause he got stupid. After he got caught and Silk Road got shut down, the FBI got their hands on a bunch of records, which certainly helped them track users. Plus, the whole Silk Road investigation was like...5 years long.

I'm sure they can still track ddosers who use VPNs, but it takes time and is mostly predicated on the ddosers being stupid and/or making a mistake.

Regardless, when the ddosers get caught, they will go federal prison unless they have a damn good lawyer or are based abroad in a non-extradition country.

I mean if they were really upset about corporate greed you think they'd be trying to shut down exxon, comcast, CJ, Koch industries.

and not valve, blizzard and riot, who while all may maintain some element of greed, are pretty much small fish on the scale of corporate power and abuse.

holy shit at this ranked restriction thing on the pbe what a terrible idea lol

"Hey all,
For a while now, the Competitive and Player Behavior teams have been working together to develop ways to improve the quality of the ranked play experience, and we’re now ready to test a new feature on PBE. This experiment involves a feature called Ranked Restrictions. Negative players will have their in-game chat restricted, and also be temporarily prevented from joining ranked queues entirely.
In this test, restricted players will be unable to play ranked until they've completed a certain number of games in Normal Draft queue.

i'm willing to bet this is due to pressure from people on reddit crying about how Dota's lpq is so good and riot should do the same.

it's a terrible idea imo.

But sometimes I play normals because they're more relaxed and the people are generally nicer. Please no, I can only play so many arams.
