Any meta where I can ban warwick and udyr to no objections from the team is a good one for me.

Imo I would rather see a range reduction, to compensate for her mobility and make it so she's more vulnerable to spells. I agree with this. She shouldn't have regular range (550). Also, get rid of the increased distance when jumping back. That's dumb. | ||

A fed ADC is scary but can be shut down with focus. A fed kalista? No chance | ||

A fed kalista? No chance Kalista doesn't have any armor shred. What she has is 1)Ridiculous Mobility 2) An effective steroid equal to her damage per additional spear, which is ridiculous at 27 + 27% AD at rank 5 and some of the most ridiculous mobility in the game. 3) One of the best "free damage" abilities in the game on her W passive... which can be applied to every member of the enemy team so long as your linked companion remembers to auto attack 4) A fucking nidalee spear that lets her hop walls at will. | ||

Adequate support and compensation for players is something that can only come with more exposure and thus, money. LCS is already a financial black hole for Riot; if more money is needed, that can only come from people like Alex or companies like Coca-Cola. I just want to point out a few things: 1. The BW competitive integrity thing had nothing to do with sister teams, or orgs influencing more than 1 team. It was basically something that could only be prevented by the rewards of playing exceeding the rewards of fixing. 2. What I just said further proves my initial point that having adequate teams/sponsors is still the #1 Esports issue. 3. Every "potential" match fixing/etc issue that has arisen in League (SKT SvK, BluevWhite) are all the result of the tournament organizers being lazy. You write a rule: Sister teams are not in the same group, wherever possible. You write a rule, teams are re-seeded in the elimination round. Its actually freaking stupid. The last 3 OGNs, and the last 2 Riot World Championships have had one side of the group "stacked" and its just laziness. | ||

Riot just wanted to have their cake and eat it too in this case (i.e. avoid KR vs. KR final while at the same time trying to avoid match-fixing possibilities). Not to mention, trying to get what are probably the two best teams in the tournament to eliminate one another early so you can have a more diverse final calls competitive integrity into question for other reasons. | ||

I want to emphasize that, at the moment, becoming a "pro" LOL player is not worth it for anyone who has another reliable plan. Yes, it has worked out for the Dyrus/Bjergson/Voyboy players, but lets be honest, the Velocity or Complexity players are actually worse off than if they had just gone to community college. That's untenable. You cant make the LCS and still be worse off than if you just took the easy path, because tons of people tried to get into the LCS and failed, and they are even worse off than your are. And hell, in NA, you could be great and no one would know because apparently the scouting is unreliable at best. | ||

The issue I have is actually OGN putting Blue/White/K on the same side 2x in a row...and now deciding to eliminate sister teams. Or Riot complaining about sister teams while taking none of the easy measures to fix it.

Becoming a pro gamer in general is not worth it for anyone who has another reliable plan except for the elite few. Doesn't matter what game it is. Unless you're literally the best in your region or have an incredible streaming personality, gaming is an awful fucking career option. But that's no different than practically every other entertainment career path be it sports, music, dancing, etc...

The combination of a cost increase alongside a cost decrease for morello is making me look elsewhere but morello just doesn't seem like enough when you have no guarantee of blue. Good. Resource management needs to come back as a player skill. Yes, resourceless champs are a thing, but perhaps they can be tweaked and brought into line. Grail was honestly really dumb. After you get Grail you literally can ignore your mana bar like 75% of the time. | ||

Maybe I am just really tired of playing against Zed though. Infinite abilities with no attenuation of damage to compensate is a standard all other champs have to be measured against in my mind. | ||

After you get Grail you literally can ignore your mana bar like 75% of the time. IMO its much worse than other entertainment sports right now. The "upside" is significantly less, and the downside is greater. Not that I don;t enjoy Bjerson, but he makes as much as the 11th man on an NBA roster. People can act confused about Voyboy resigning, but I understand he is a 99th percentile student in high school and had a scholarship to a major California university. Getting back on that track while streaming is a great option compared to the MAYBE 1 more year of 95% percentile salary. | ||

Just grab an extra chalice if you are having that much issues with just morello.Also is it just me or is mana regen much higher than before?Like I played a few sona games and my mana just couldn't end no matter how much I spammed with 40% cdr after like lvl 10 with just frostfang+chalice. | ||

Support mana regen is tuned 50% higher than mage regen at level one so it is pretty huge. I am not having trouble managing mana. I'm saying that I feel that mana management in the mid lane feels way clunkier. It can be done, I just feel that it will push the meta even further in the Zed direction. Resource-less/very low resource champions have been left completely unchanged and many of them were already S-tier champs so if this is a straight nerf to mages, which is how it feels, then it's a pretty big deal. I have only played a couple games so maybe I am still adjusting. | ||
