They are talking about adding stat runes in addition to the effect runes for 2019.

Kind of an inventive idea. A bit confusing though, maybe they could call stat runes just runes, and effect runes something like "masteries."

For a comment that’s actually about the patch, I played against a team with a Pyke mid the other day and it was pretty successful. I think that after this patch Pyke building lethality now does comparable damage to Talon building lethality with comparable mobility and sneakiness. But Pyke has a fallback plan where if he falls behind instead of being useless he has a ton of CC and utility.

Pyke is pretty strong right now, I've seen him snowball out of control loads of times, and he's also incredibly slippery if you can't blow him up straight away. I've been banning him because he's obnoxious to play against.

Pyke is a chaotic hero to me, I can't make sense of him. He's kinda supposed to be a support but can be effective in almost any lane if he's played well enough. Super annoying if he gets fed.

I still don't ban him though.

There was an item you used to be able to get called a random champion permenant which, when crafted, would give you a random champion you didn't own of 4800BE+. It was intended for you to only be able to get it when you had 10+ qualifying champs unowned, but wasn't restricted initially. I think it was only around for the BE Emporium and Riot has since learned their lesson and aren't reintroducing them, since they were stupid BE efficient and there's effectively no BE sinks in the game anymore.

Yeah, on the other hand accumulating BE has become quite tedious. Grinding for a month now, I've found out I've only gotten BE for a single 6300 champ.

I dunno, I have over 40k BE sitting around and I rarely even play anymore. Hell, as long as you just play a botgame a day you outpace champion costs.

I mean, I'm not really complaining because I own almost every champion besides 5, but I noticed it because I didn't own Aatrox and it took quite some time to get him again. Also I have like 100 champion shards but not for the champs I don't own, wtf is that.

The math was posted on Reddit when the change was Announced and it was definitely nerfed, Riot buffed it to respond to the reddit post but I don’t know where it’s at now other than to say the eyeball test looks nerfed to me I gained ~15k BE From lvl 30 to 80 on my most played account and that’s with max free chests from January until the wow expansion came out

I bought both new champions but not the first week and some amount of mastery tokens that I can’t recall we’ll guess 10k) so about 37,600 or 752 BE/lvl

IIRC it was a buff if you played a few games a day because the FWOTD bonus is comparatively larger, and a nerf if you played a lot of games per day. Not sure on the exact threshold though.

I think it was level capsules give at least 9XX BEnow , and then there's the BE you get from FwotD.

Ummm I hope you know this and just meant you got 100s of champion shards but disenchanting shards is how you get blue essence. That's probably why it took you forever haha

Since it was asked about before, as a reminder, all the Worlds token stuff is back in crafting now. Will only be around for a few days.

These Nunu changes don’t address his problem at all which is that they shifted so much of his power into a meme ability. For the first time I can remember an ability (e) was both converted to a skill shot and made weaker with reduced range and significantly more conditional utility. His best late game ability was gutted to make it weak enough to be a passive and his passive which was probably fine to get rid of for the most part does remove his huge lvl 6 power spike.

Outside of him getting significantly over buffed I can’t see a reason to pick him ever, Ivern does his old job better and Nautilus does his new job better(cc bot?)

Legit the only thing I can think of is full ap biggest snowball ever YouTube videos.


Yup, his design is interesting as a concept but its pretty irrelevant to high levels of play. Before Nunu was stronger the higher you go because of a better understanding of jungle pathing and counter jungling but now he seems like a champ that does better against idiots that let you get your full combo on them.


I also am confused by the new design. It feels like it was created by an uncoordinated 8 year old.

Yea they seem really adamant that Pyke must support. It's a shame. If the design team changes at any point they may open up Pyke more.


I think Pyke is a symptom of an existential crisis of trying to invent new concepts while also enforcing a strict metagame.

I figured it out yesterday . I think I kept them around because I thought they could be used for something else, apparently not. I am not a bright man.

What I hate about his rework is that it encourages people to just run at the enemy team, hit a snowball and ult. If it misses you look boosted, if it hits you can blow up squishies. So boring to play against...

I mean, they are. You can use them with mastery tokens to level up to 6 and 7 mastery without paying BE. Other than that... nope.
