I think they hit on a really good stat for scaling for supports with current Items with Athenes' %mana regen scaling.
Should release champs with % mana regen damage or cc or whatever scaling instead of AP on some skills, gives them the ability to beef up the base stats or usability of those spells without making an accidental laner, by making those abilities pretty much only scale with dorans or support items.
since they are gonna ham fist a support anyway, they might as well ham first it in a way they dont have to keep them artificially weak in order to put them in support.
Stuff like ally bouncing from nami, or %mana regen scaling or leona passive are good ways to force a dual laner without just nerfing the champ until its just the only place they can go reliably (zyra, morgana).

I realize that our whole arguments are built on different premises, but did you really enjoy seeing Thresh every single game? Back when his numbers were a lot better, he was preventing people from even playing the likes of Janna because with one hook he could practically kill her, he would zone lanes harder than Leona because he had the leisure of choosing when to go in. And his single champion peel was/still is incredibly strong, it just isn't instant shielding like Janna/Lulu. Now he does pretty little damage, and his all in is almost non existant in tank support matchups like Ali or Taric, they just turn around and kill him when he goes in. yes. Good threshes won games. bad threshes were embarrassing. Skill determinant supports are good for the game. full stop. Stuff like Rakan, Thresh, Pre nerf and rework Alistar (when it was tougher to combo, and he could auto post headbutt), pre rework zyra, Tahm Kench. should be the norm for supports. the champs should be stronger than other roles, to make up for not having items all the time. But now that supports get free gold, they have to be dumbed down and weaker so they dont take over.
I agree with that sentiment, skill based supports are the best meta, watching the Mata playmakers clobber the enemy team is fun. My point was just that there was a time where Thresh wasn't just a skill champion, but pretty much defined the entire support meta, because a good Thresh had the possibility of winning the lane and the game with good play, and his kit was just so much better than everyone else.
Also don't think supports weren't swimming in gold before the Ardent meta, people weren't running Targons on ADC and gp5 runes to rush the damn item because they needed real stats to win the lane. Maybe they should remove Coin and replace it with another gold generating item, the other two seem to be pretty balanced right now.

I dont mind a support being so far above the others. if its a playmaker.
Thresh being perma pick/ban is fine. people will just pick/ban it. and if you know its a playmaking support, then you know the type of play you gotta put in lane to fight against it. disengage or tankiness or both etc.

While I'm not quite fond of the champions GI mentioned (except thresh), I think he did a fine job reworking ww.

Its safe to assume we aren't getting any more world's quests and the best thing to do is convert worlds tokens to BE now to maximize how much we get in the preseason

Remember when red pot thresh was a threat to 1v1 any poor soul who got hooked leve 1 (empowered auto was on q at release)

Xypherous' champions on the other hand are all besides Orianna a pile of cancerous rage inducing bullshit. Which champions did he make? Legit curious, I've never heard of the guy. Fizz, Riven, Lulu, Renekton and Heimerdinger basically nothing but champions that when you lane against them make you go fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Orianna is an outlier that doesn't count.

Converting 180K IP to BE was not fun.

and yeah orianna was the only one. but orianna is in that spot where if shes a little better shes so oppressive shes must pick.
Don't forget Xyph was also the mid lane main that did the S4 Vision/support overhaul that was designed to let people play more support when filling and still play mages.

Should put your client in the "potato" mode with animations disabled. Saves a lot of time

I also saw something about spacebar skipping animations, though never tried it. I've constantly kept my IP low by having periods of not playing at all and buying too many runes. I've getting over 40k back just from runes.

Any quick way to see how much you're going to get back from runes and pages? Got all runes and max runepages bought with IP calculating by hand is going to be ehhhhh given the random price for different runes.

It's 100BE/minor rune and 300BE/quint. I believe pages through IP was 1500BE/page.

Use this. Just note that any runes purchased in last like month or two won't be refunded so don't put them in.

stupid question here, but is rift considered as a minion? meaning that when he is the only one under enemy's turret the team will get the reduced armor/mr stats? or not?
