Xerath rework is terribly out of metagame and is not superstrong in any way.
He's vulnerable to dives, his self peel is weak, he's only viable in poke comps.
His most damaging abilities give enough time to escape/minimise their impact for anything that can move fast or jump.
His passive doesn't scale into his lategame and is generally redundant with Athene's Grail exisiting.
Very few people will be able to play him spectacularly.
The core objective in dominion is defending and holding captured points to win. That's why people don't play that crap.ItsukiKun wrote:

it was somehow hard to farm against syndra so i rather chose to play safe instead of feeding her once i got to lvl 6 i became more aggressive and took that mid tower down and followed by roaming around to help the other lanes..i was quite furious with my cs but xD i needed to help others instead so i tried not to pay much attention to it,thing is that in the end i could carry and we all led to victoryBrokenArrow wrote:
dat cs on your Akali game tho
same thing always happens to me when playing her, I mostly end up roaming around all over the map searching for kills when I get ahead, how do I fix this

^ exactly the sameBrokenArrow wrote:
yeah, usually farm is very precious to me as well and each time I miss a cs in lane it feels like my heart is being shattered to pieces
but after like 20 minutes I hardly get any cs in my pocket anymore, but I guess that's ok because neither do the enemy carries because they can't cs when they're dead
this is really only the case on Akali for me, killing things other than minions is just too tempting ;-;

You could take Butcher if you're really struggling.
Could also use your E to farm if you don't feel you'll get engaged on.
Just practice lots! =D
Yeah, his AA is weird.Vulf wrote:

NA servers lagging again so I guess that's my cue to go out into the night.
You'd be correct. However, if you auto attack something and find you're just short of killing a minion, you can always use it if you don't think you'll have time for your auto attack to go off CD.Navizel wrote:

We are sorry for the ongoing server issues in many parts of the world including very recent North America and Europe problems. Lots of work has been done to help improve things and more work is still being done.
We have seen significant increases in hackers running distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS) against game and platform servers. League of Legends has not been the only target, most large game companies have been feeling the pain along with other online businesses, but we have been a more frequent target than most. In the last 6 months over half of all DDoS attacks we have seen against LoL have been in the last 2 months. We are currently seeing 2 to 4 attacks every day against one or more regions. The strength of these attacks has increased significantly over the last few months as the arms race against hackers continues to grow in scale.
League of Legends is made up of dozens of components, some of these are easier to protect against DDoS than others. Typically websites are easiest to protect, while game servers are hardest (most standard forms of protection would create lag in game like League of Legends).
In the last 2 weeks world record breaking DDoS attacks have been seen by several companies including Riot. These attacks are so big that the ISPs and Telecom's that service League of Legends have not been able to keep their Internet circuits up while the attack is underway. This means that our servers often do not even see or feel the malicious traffic itself because the Internet connections feeding our data centers are being cut off due to the size of the attacks filling the very large Internet circuits the telecoms and ISPs have.
When our data centers lose the Internet, your connections to game servers and/or PVP.net services like Chat and Login get disconnected in the worst case or lots of players will see serious in-game lag for the duration of the attack. If lots of players get disconnected, you will often see a login queue to get back into PVP.net or the game.
We expect the current attacks to get better soon. We already have been able to fend off many problems before they create problems for you. Our network team has been working almost non-stop for several weeks both fighting off DDoS attacks around the world and strengthening our Internet services. We have also been working with telecoms and ISPs to help them understand how to block these attacks so that their services are not affected. Some fixes have required new equipment and ISP circuits to be ordered which can take weeks to get shipped and installed. Some telecoms and ISPs are slower than others in applying the fixes needed to ensure they do not fall over from these attacks, we depend on many ISPs so its important that all ISPs make the fix or the bad traffic finds a way to knock off our servers.
Of course this is an arms race so as one defense gets put in place, eventually we can expect new methods to launch attacks that will often require time to put a defense in place. About half of the equipment investment in League of Legends is network gear with a large part of that in place to just handle the ongoing rise in frequency and size of DDoS attacks. We are investing even more every day around the world and will continue to work hard to win the fight. We are also working closely with our equipment providers and other services to make sure we are doing everything we can to protect the many components that make up League of Legends.
Sometimes we lose the fight and that sucks because it means players like you feel the pain too. It also means that instead of our engineers building cool stuff for players we have to fight off bad stuff from hackers, so players lose again. It's frustrating, but the reality of large scale Internet services, so we have to get smarter and better to make sure players around the world can have fun when you want to have fun.
I apologize for the pain and promise that we will continue to get better. New data centers with stronger and even more Internet connections are getting close to being live for Europe and North American players, with all other regions scheduled for complete overhauls as 2014 goes on. These new data centers will help us keep up the fight in the hacker arms race, they won't solve all the problems we deal with all the time, but they should level up our side of the fight a great deal.
In the meantime we are not helpless, teams are still working long hours, expect daily improvement.

The feeling when u have your last promo match and u failed to select a champ cause you disconected it hurts
If you have trouble running League on your toaster, here's something you can do:
When you are in the loading screen or ingame, open your task manager and kill the LolClient.exe. https://imgur-archive.ppy.sh/ody5Dlu.png
This will get rid of the resourcemonster that eats about as much as the game client itself. You will have to log in again after finishing your game, but it could be worth it if your machine struggles.
Be careful not to kill your "League of Legends.exe" instead, that's the actual game. I suggest you test this in a custom game so you know how it works.
All credit for finding this goes to my good friend lllIllllllllllll[EU-W], I'm merely parroting what he told me. (Yes, that's a different person.)
Yup, I like to do that too.tyrael6192 wrote:
one cool thing though is that you can alt tab while the game is loading and find the 'riot' icon in your task bar, click it to open the client window, and carry on talking to your friends while the game loads ^.^
You'd think so, considering they've tweaked it a couple times semi-recently (the notifications section and the status bar... or lack there of).BrokenArrow wrote:
There are just so many things that are not optimized about the current client, I'd really love to see a completely new one somewhere around this year, but since Riot is so slow at everything I doubt it will happen. There are games 10 years older with a much better client in terms of stability, performance and features and Riot certainely has more than enough money to create something better. Why aren't they doing something about it?
I'd rather see no balance patches for 3 months so Riot can focus more on stuff like that.

We are working on getting game servers more centrally located in North America. We can share more on this soon. We are also optimizing our connections to many large ISPs in the USA and Canada which should improve things for everyone in the meantime. A few more were just hooked up just last week. Comcast, Level 3 and Cogent are now in the mix. Key changes coming first is a direct connection to the San Jose, CA and Seattle, WA located Internet Exchanges, this should reduce ping time a bit even for East Coast players (while also improving our DDoS defense). These Internet Exchanges bring us direct connections to many more USA and Canadian ISPs, cable companies, and telecoms than we have directly connected today in NA. Connections are ordered, so not too much longer to wait.
We also have truck loads of game servers built and waiting to be delivered closer to the Eastern US Coast as soon as we nail down the best place to put them to benefit the most NA players. This year for sure, hopefully soon. Won't be able to give everyone in the US 20 msec ping time but I think we will achieve getting most player closer to the same ping time (and still keep almost everyone faster than a Ferrari FXX can shift gears).

Using empowered shield means you're gonna have even less burst for a while.
Not using empowered shield means you have to be either that much ahead or in/against a right team comp to be able to go back and forth into fairly close range utilizing your poke, missing hp regen and snare.
Even though Karma's kit changed a lot after rework, in general she still is a team reliant lane bully.
The problem is, that Gragas will still be viable...this nerf isn't a real nerf, and that's kinda wondering me...BrokenArrow wrote:

"Krusher - you haven't missed it yet and it hasn't been cancelled. We've been going through iterations of it to make sure its awesome. Once it's ready, we'll make sure you're aware of it. Thanks again for checking in!"
He continued:
"We're still working out all the details, but I do know it will count any purchase you made, regardless of the Season. As for the amount to qualify, we're looking the set the initial threshold really low, but again we're working out all the details - so just keep an eye out for this in the future."
When asked about how awesome it will be, he commented:
"On a scale of awesomeness I would say it's up there with an 11 Yordle scout squad given too much caffeine and free time. It's going to be awesome (at least we're trying to make it that way).
But on a serious note, I don't want to spoil too much. As Moons posted back on page two, we have some ideas around this and we're currently getting feedback from some of our players.
There are a lot of variables in play here, and if you look through the threads, they echo some of our concerns:
- don't alienate the players between those that have spent a lot vs. not a lot
- account for those of you that have spent "abnormal amounts" (quoting Kay911kay) vs. those that have spent less.
- most importantly don't suck
Our initial thought on this back on 2012, was to give our fans different Summoner icons, but that was at a time when icons weren't readily available and as Lavasioth pointed out - icons won't do.
Other details around tiers, rewards, and timing, are still under review."
