I know it is cost effective to spend your IP on hextech champion shards and disenchant them to get blue essence, but do I have to disenchant the shards now (before the update) ? Don't want to get rid of them if I don't have to, might need them for stuff like unlocking champion mastery or some new stuff riot may introudce in the future.

Okay, now that I'm actually educated on the topic, disenchant them now. After the update they are reducing the amount you get when you disenchant.

So what are we meant to do exactly, buy Hextech champ shards then disenchant those shards into blue essence? Effectively converting IP to Blue essence now but then Blue essence gets increased by a bigger multiplier than IP to Blue will be when update hits?

To piggy back a bit, only keep a shard if you might want the champion itself. If you have zero desire to have the champ disenchant it now, if not keep it and use your essence you get at the start of the season to upgrade it

Alright, thanks for advice. Got 10.4k blue essence now. Kept 7 for upgrades and mastery unlocks.

I don't have a lot of IP so just throwing this out there hoping it's the case lol. Saving my RP for this eve rework, need to see how lewd her skins are!

Btw how are people finding Kayn. I'm starting to like jungling more. Just sticking with WW,Kha,Ramus mostly as jungle pool isn't too big for me.

edit: Do I do anything with Skin shards?

Kayn is bloody obnoxious and really strong, his gank patterns are so unique most (including me) fuck up ward placements against him.

Yeah. Some guy on reddit did the math and the conversion comes out to an 8.something% increase in IP/BE after the switch multiplies BE with the change, adjusting for what champion you get(I assume 450 and 1350 pull the # down from being something larger).

I don't own him so can't say if he feels good but playing against him is very annoying when he gets to invade my shit and I can't punish him because he just runs through walls. I also feel powerless when he goes red and outsustains me in duels, though that rarely happens because I mostly play WW, Gragas and Elise (he just runs away if I'm strong or I run away if I'm just a tank). When I feel like playing Diana or Nidalee seeing Kayn on the opposite team makes me shiver. My Nidalee is terrible though, I probably should stop playing her but I'm telling myself I need to practice ap junglers for those games where my team picks full ad.

Don't remember about the update affecting anything about skin shards. I hoard them.

No, it's just orgasm sounds
quite a lot of characters do them when you ban them in Japanese. I think Ahri has one too.

The new rune system looks pretty interesting, but they will have to look at every champ closely to make sure some setups aren't busted. Like endlessly scaling Grasp of the Undying sounds like a hilarious bonus for the likes of Cho and would make Stoneplate incredibly strong. In fact Riot seems to have added quite a few 'permanent buff' features if I'm seeing it correctly. Same with endlessly stacking attack damage, it seems skewed towards high AS champs and duelists, someone like Jax could be pretty stupidly strong.

My Nidalee is terrible though, I probably should stop playing her but I'm telling myself I need to practice ap junglers for those games where my team picks full ad.


Why don't you just play Elise then, Nidalee requires actually being good at the champ to get anything done, Elise can win games just by landing cocoons.

Rumble jungle is also legit. A good Equalizer against a team building little MR is gonna destroy them.

When you play Elise you can't talk about how much you Need-a-Lee though. And that's why you play Need-a-Lee.
