Malzahar's pretty good with J4. Get a couple people in J4's ult, W + Q in there and everyone dies.

So it's the 14th and so far I still only have a single skin on a single of all my accounts... Did rito do this on purpose?
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

I think I would like something that maybe disables bonus HP for a few seconds instead of just increasing damage against it, on some kind of Zilean time-bomb effect. This seems pretty roundabout and silly, but I think something to this effect would create a window for tanks to become vulnerable to standard patterns of burst (for mages) without "just dying instantly" or "nullifying an entire build". Has counterplay etc.

It also wouldn't make a single character capable of blowing through multiple tanks, and keeps the power of multiple tankbusting mages somewhat in check.

Its so interesting that riot and the league community took people messing up and turned it into "outplay" rather than a fuck up. if one player screws up, the other "outplays" them rather than them screwing up.

Would you rather have me say: Force the opponent into making a mistake by pressuring him and trying to fake him out so he steps out of line and makes a wrong input, or just outplay?
Its funny because outplaying doesn't exist according to you, its just capitalizing on your opponents mistakes you say. But isn't that outplaying in itself? Playing better then your opponent so you abuse his mistakes, outplay literally means playing the situation better then your opponent.

I mean technically by your definition you are outplaying someone by standing still and autoing them to death while they keep throwing out skillouts in random directions until they die. thats pretty stupid to praise as 'outplaying'. if both players are reacting to eachothers moves and someone comes out on top through their good play, thats outplaying someone. if someone walks to close to talon and talon blows them up in half a second, its not outplaying its a mistake. people refuse to acknowledge mistakes in the community and it leads to a lot of weird issues where everyone is trying to feel good about themselves, and i have no doubt that attitude has contributed to the issues that league has in its community over almost every other game.

a news from China,
Currently, there is a broadcast rights issues regarding LCK in China.

Keahorl, a company that has established a long-term partnership with OGN, has claimed that they own exclusive broadcast rights of LCK, which is certified and verified by CJ, the owner of OGN.

The proof is on the CJ websites
http://program.interest.me/ongamenet/ognglobal/3/Board/View?b_seq=7

They sue PLU, the company hosting LPL and backed by Tencent, for broadcasting LCK.

However, PLU broadcasted LCK by being an observer in the game, which obviously need the approval from OGN.(Keahorl is only adding Chinese commentary and ADs to the korean stream).

It is interesting to see how it turn out

I'm actually really looking forward to the dfg removal.

I've played a lot of the champions which heavily use dfg over the years, but I've always preferred the non dfg builds and play-styles over dfg rushes, even though they've generally been worse. If ahri/fizz/lb/syndra etc get small buffs to compensate, then I'll be more then happy

My main fear is the ideology they're basing the changes off though. The idea that you should be able to "counterplay" your way out of a situation where an assassin got the drop on you sort of goes against the very idea of assassins. They live and die by their ability to catch people out, and now it sounds like riot wants the adc you just completely outmanoeuvred to be able to escape (I'm sorry, "counter-play their way away") anyway, because punishing people for poor map movement/lack of map awareness is apparently "anti-fun".

If they're removing dfg because people can't handle getting punished for facechecking a bush which a leblanc/zed was sitting in, or blindly standing in range of an ahri charm or fizz ult and getting bursted, then there isn't really any hope for assassins at all, because that's what they're theoretically designed to do :S

Other than ahri and syndra, who aren't really traditional assassins, more like generalist mages that have burst tools, none of them have been very stable. From a balance perspective.

Although I sincerely doubt that is what riot is thinking, that at least would be a decent line of thinking for making the change.

It's not like Ahri is supposed to be an assassin, but because she's one of Riot's teacher's pets they kept buffing her whenever she wasn't showing up, including her AOE, mana costs and other non-directly-assassin-related stuff till she had the staple of a mage with the single-target burst of an assassin.
Nope, not at all.

Syndra's a mage who happened to receive the damage and patterns of an assassin (I blame how absurdly forgiving her E has become), but Ahri was designed as an assassin from the start. It's just power creep made them forget there's a reason AoE and waveclear weren't Akali's or Leblanc's forte.

Yes, I think Ahri has potential as an actual mage - it's just that after Riot nerfed her base damage and buffed her ratio, she became an assassin. Her E changes kind of nailed her to that role.

I think the DFG nerf might return her to her old playstyle when she was released. It is just a guess though. There is no teling what Riot might do.

And akali/old Leblanc never or almost never saw competitive, except when ridiculously overpowered.

But maybe that is the point. Assassins might not have a place in competitive lol.

When I talked about design, I meant the nature of her kit, not how her numbers are shifted. Vel'Koz and old Annie have better base than ratio, that doesn't make them assassins.
Ahri's supposed to use her orb to deal some poke damage/whittle down her opponents a bit, then use her ult to maneuver around the fight and/or engage unsuspecting targets from afar and immobilise them with Charm while she unloads her burst to kill them.
The way her kit worked at release allowed her to deal significant damage to multiple threats instead of killing a single one, and when Riot noticed how high said AoE damage was, they had to reduce it (because of the "I don't even need to aim or point'n'click you to kill you" situation) while maintaining her single-target burst (and making it rely on actually hitting a spell).

The issue is when even after the nerfs, Ahri hurtling amidst several people can still wreck up to 3 because she's still got very good AoE on Q and R, and the true damage part of Q allows it to scale very well with AP. Why kill a single person when you can do it and harm 2 others?
(Not that that was what Kha'Zix did too, 'cept he harmed everyone then tried to kill one to get the penta, and Zed keeps doing that because his W steroid and E cd lets him dish absurd amount of AoE damage.)

The problem is if Ahri uses all her spells and it can't kill someone, she just straight up won't be a popular pick anymore. If she can kill someone with all her spells she'll use them as front end burst and be labelled as an assassin. She's right on the edge of being an ordinary mage and being an assassin, and unfortunately people only seem to want to play her as the latter. If she had to poke someone down before being able to kill them, people would rather play other champions, and history has shown that immediately following Ahri nerfs. Riot doesn't like that so they buff her back up again.

It's not like Ahri was ever Orianna level of "safest and strongest pick ever, can go every matchup with her". Only Azir is close to Orianna probably right now.

She comes and goes away, there is nothing wrong in it and she will still be good without dfg.
