Doubly so for lower ELO's because we tend to have more fights. Why wouldn't I want to toggle the item if I am trying to conserve mana for when I really need to dish out damage? The assumption is at lower elos people are incapable of using toggles and therefore this is better for them I think. | ||

... Wat? What a crappy design philosophy. Hell, the only reason bad players realize BoC is because it has pretty animations. Just give MM pretty animations and people will be gargling the balls of some pro who used it well within 5 minutes. Bad players don't notice good skill usage, macro and map play, or pivital gameplay mechanics unless it's expressly clear to them via fancy rewarding animations, or an LCS analyst spams it 500 times. That's why they are bad players 90% of the time. | ||

Also Alpha client preview is pretty neat for the most part, except for their detail-level typeface has horrendous readability. | ||

This time even before I start spamming the champ Hey M2, drop me an info on which champion you're about to main next so I won't play him, cause it will get nerfed in next PBE cycle probably, haha. | ||

I am so beyond mad that because Lulu is dominant as a top and midlaner instead of a support, they fucking nerf the base health of her ult. Lulu support is in such a nice state right now, between op and useless, but noooooo, let's give Lulu support another round of deathblows. It is so sad that one of the most fun supports to play with is now approaching it's final form, where she is outclassed by everyone, and you can't even have fun with her, because between her mana costs and now fucking joke of an ultimate (200hp until you reach lvl 11 with a support? Disgusting.), she will be everything but fun at bot lane. And I don't even care if the balance team gets busted on getting high on LSD while making these changes, the sheer fact they even considered this is just infuriating and reeks of incompetence. It's no secret I love Janna, she's my favorite champ after all, but holy shit, seeing how she has been barely touched compared to what she would "deserve" (including current PBE nerfs to her), even though she has been super strong for a very long time (long-long before pros started to play her competitively again in last season), but as soon as nerfing Lulu comes up as a topic to them, they do not hesitate at all to castrate the living shit out of support Lulu. Oh, and meanwhile Riot is trying so hard (for years now, mind you) to balance Alistar to be not THAT overpowered compared to other supports... For some reason they can stomach him being this crazy good tank-initiator, but God forbid Lulu s allowed to cast 5 abilities without running out of mana, doing any damage, or having an actual ultimate. I swear, this company is shattered to fractions. There is no other explanation how can they look like the coolest developers ever, with admirable thought-process, and then BAM, in an instant Swain and support Lulu are nerfed cuz reasons. I need a drink. | ||

Something brutal like 50% reduced damage to minions (and monsters?) with some (more) AP ratio nerfs should ensure that solo Lulu will never see the light of day again. Then you can give support Lulu some love without risking anything. I get that Lulu is a rather unique pick to solo lanes, but she can't be balanced without making support Lulu completely unplayable. So maybe, just maybe, they should give some love to some of the long forgotten top and midlaners, instead of abusing this poor yordle, and then everyone could be happy. | ||

"I get that one o your champs will be unlayable now, and to top it all off, for all the wrong reasons, but don't be sad!" Sona with maxed W gives you an effective health between 150 and 205. (can't remember how it scales with Crescendo) Nami with maxed W heals for 185 and I won't even mention that it deals decent damage and can bounce back for either more heals or more deeps. Kayle with maxed W heals for 240 and she has an actual ultimate. Donald Trump would say "beautiful". Taric, the best and most contested support out there with maxed Q heals for 220 + have an hp scaling on a champ that goes tanky anyway. Soraka might be unfair to bring up, as healing is basically her job, but hey, there has to be some irony in that she heals exactly the same amount with maxed W as a lvl 1 Lulu ultimate, except it's on a 2 sec cd. Janna with maxed E shields for 240. One tick of her lvl 1 ultimate heals for 100 in an aoe. But here's my fucking favorite: Lulu (!!) with maxed E shields for 240. You see, these champions basic abilities outheal Lulu's ultimate in effective hp gain at worst when they reach lvl 9, whch means Lulu still needs two extra levels to get rank 2 ultimate, which takes time as support. I did not forget that WG knocks up and has a slowing aura, but it's not like most of these basic abilities don't come with their own plus. Like Janna's bonus AD or Kayle's long lasting and decent mov. speed bonus. The one edge Lulu support had over her competitors was that WG ignored grievious wounds, but ever since the completely bonkers change to how gv works, it doesn't even matter. There is absolutely no reason not to be dramatic here. Once they go through with it, it wouldn't matter anyway, as Lulu would just get an instant ticket to the waiting line for a rework in 2017. edit: And the moral of this complaint should not be that we must all feel said about Lulu. I know not many people play Lulu support nowadays, so it's understandable most of you don't give a flying fuck if Riot erases her. The thing you too should be upset about is how it's done. How is that some champions gets the graceful, slow treatment to find the perfect spot to adjust, and some just gets chopped up in the butcher table without any prior sign of even trying to make that champ fit into his/her role. | ||
