Jesus, how the fuck do people get into leagues anymore? I was extremely disabled by various substances, so I made an account to futz around on like AD lux without getting pooed on by plat/diamond.

good lord

I played 4 games at level 1 and in every one there were at least 4 people smurfing around gold level, not only that but in all of them there were organized duo ques playing kill lanes and coordinating each other's ganks. WTF. It was basically a normal gold/silver level ranked game with 1 or 2 really unfortunate beginners getting instakilled by some dickheads on skype organizing repeated three man tower dives. And all these smurfs were flaming.
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.

How about you stop playing Shaco. Thanks.

I wonder what would happen if Grail did something to interact with bonus mana. Something like 1%/5 missing + 5%/5 of bonus mana.

Probably would be broken on Nid, but for anivia, swain and kass, they're all not in a great spot atm, it could be the bit of a push they need.

They win 10 or so games, they get matched amongst themselves. Smurfs get weeded out pretty fast for new accounts.

The change to Athenes passive reads as completely irrelevant to me. The 20% you get from it +DG now is more than enough to keep you going in any fight where you get assists and kills. They probably just added it to solidify its identity as the safer/less aggressive pick. It will still be less efficient and 400 gold more expensive than morello so I think both will see play.

Very strange. I played a game at level 1, and went 45 - 1 as GP mid. And I`m in silver. Maybe I just got lucky. I don`t really run into smurfs until a few games in usually.

Grail does interact with bonus mana. The unique ability is mana regen based on your missing mana. So if you have twice as large a pool you have twice as much potential for missing mana and so twice as much potential regen from chalice/Grail.

Edit: its for this reason that it is actually currently really strong on ROA mages who can double or triple their mana in the mid game with rod. Anivia or Swain with rod and cup will basically never run out of mana

anivia still runs oom hard w/ rod
tear + chalice is the minimum necessity to not run out without constant blue buffs

Seconded. Even with blue, you'll run oom with just rod or tear. Chalice alone gives a fair amount of regen, but you can spend far, far faster than it comes back in, and while you can get away with blue+chalice, there isn't really leeway to sustain ulti simply for area denial. Have to get chalice+either rod or tear to even stay somewhat mana neutral in lane as well as give a pool for usage.

The idea behind that was to buff the mages who actually built mana items in addition to grail. I feel like almost every other mage who just buys grail already doesn't have mana constraints. Swain/kass already have mana sustain built into their kits and need the pool only for sustaining mana burst in fights, which leaves anivia as the only one who really hard OOM's while clearing waves.

Uhh 1.5. Rod + chalice. = 4900 gold.

The point was that chalice interacts positively with bonus mana despite the claim of the person I was quoting. If you have 1500 mana base and are missing 1000 of that then chalice provides an extra 20 MP5. If you have 500 mana and are missing 300 of that then chalice provides an extra 6 MP5.

The bonus mana on Rod or Tear (or any other bonus mana item) then significantly increases the bonus MP5 that chalice provides.

Edit: indeed, without bonus mana (or early in the game) most mages get very little out of the unique passive from chalice. Since it will cap around 6 to 10 MP5 and that is around 50% of your base (such that the cdr double fey charm item is as or more effective)

It was so obviously the scrim recordings that caused CLG to lose.

No but it's still a bit of a dick move.

TSM should have harder time finding good scrims now, and the guy who did it should be done for

I don't know. t3azer was kicked the moment it got out he was the one leaking. TSM (Darkness) handled it about as well as they could. One of their players did a shitty thing and they kicked him for it, I don't think this has to hurt the team any further.
