The rest of us take it and are pretty happy to have it.

I saw the mystery gift box pop up but I didn't see what I got. Is there any way to check what came in?
Edit: Ok I found it in the gift giving section of the store. So far I have the poro icon but nothing else.

I was honestly just confused because I didn't even know I didn't have Volibear. Its not like I dont have the IP to get him whenever, I just literally never thought to do it.

I ended up getting a summoner icon.
Can't say I'm particularly impressed.

How do you see what you got if you already had Riot Kayle?
|
Not to shit on a free gift, but I find it odd that they chose riot Kayle for an anniversary skin giveaway, when anyone who's been with them the whole way was already given Kayle + a skin.
weird choice to me

weird choice to me It's because kayle has been played top mid jungle and support, and is cheap AF.

I just think nobody thought about it.
like the uncaring husband who gets his wife the same exact kitchen utensil on their 10th anniversary as their first.

That's the thing, I got the icon and I saw that the mystery gift was delivered, but I didn't see any indication of what I got, plus it is not showing up on my gifts section.
Edit: Just to update, I learned that the gifts can come separately from each other. If after next weekend comes and you don't have it, you can put in a Riot ticket.

Runaans vayne is love.
With recent q buffs, BF -> runaans -> IE and then whatever depending on game feels soooooooo good. Runaans has a lot of synergy with warlords as you heal off of the bolts and the waveclear is more constant than shiv too. Shiv just offers more burst. The stats itself on runaans arent to be underestimated either. Yeah, the bolts don't spread her W but that's fine. It helps her get to midgame in a much better state thanks to the sustain and waveclear it offers. Also, the build path on runaans is really nice too.

Recent discussion about how Oriannas are starting to build Rylai's second after Morellonomicon is basically proof of how busted Rylai's Crystal Scepter is. In no world should Oriannas be building an early Rylai's.
Worse, it's exactly against the whole spirit of the AP itemization rework, which, if you'll remember, was all about carving out distinct identities for items, instead of having Athene's and Zhonya's be both offensive AND defensive AND utility-oriented items.
Rylai's, though, has basically no tradeoffs. Here, take the second most AP on any item in the game. Then get 80% of the HP of Randuin's / Sunfire. Oh, also have insane slow on all of your abilities. Everything it does is basically best-in-class.

The build path is pretty friendly too. A mage would be getting large rod anyways and the ruby crystal and Amp Tome are very cheap starting items.

yeah unless you're an assassin/ someone who can kill someone with one combo (basically want to stack pure deeps) rylai's is the best option. i agree the item is just too efficient.

if auto filled is enabled in ranked in what world should dynamic q with teams of 3 ppl be enabled and expect balanced games. riots logic as good as ever

Yes Rylais is too good, but AP itemization is, IMO, screwed because Deathcap isn't the "core" of AP anymore. Back in the day everyone got their first item (Athenes, Tear, Morello, or Rod depending on the time and champ) then you needed DC, basically for everyone to do your job. I think item flexibility is a good goal, but not a good practice in a game with so little powercurve diversity.

AP itemization is always going to be funky so long as Deathcap and Void Staff exist. But I think the current state of AP itemization, Rylai's aside, is not bad. A lot of AP champions do forgo Deathcap and Void Staff: Diana is probably the best example of how her various itemization paths allow her to be played differently depending on which utility options she prefers. But Orianna is about the most cookie-cutter "MOAR AP PLZ" champion there is, which is why Rylai's being so good on her is such junk.

Yeah. It kind of has a mixed identity. Champs like sol need it for tankyness and to apply that on magic hit slow. For sol at least the power is in te slow, so I would hope any nerfs are to its ap or HP rather than the slow which is really needed for some champs.
