The rewards aren't even worth boosting and getting caught over. Funny how people still think gold, plat and diamond borders mean something.

I missed out on Silver last season. Ended Bronze 1 and everyone I knew/played games with had at least a Silver border.
Only thing borders do is fulfill the self achievement mindset, but other than that depending which one you have it can be looked upon negatively.
That's generally what happens when you have a ranked system that primarily rewards you more for grinding than actually being good at the game.

It's a good self achievement. xD Not hitting Silver last season was disappointment when pretty much all my RL friends got it, now I'll have it. =DVulf wrote:

Lol, I never really thought about anything negative, to be honest. I don't play much normal Summoner's Rift anymore, any friends higher than me understand I don't play the game 100% serious (I don't watch LCS/pro, for example) so they won't act like a dick anyway and anyone I get matched with in ranked will likely be Silver (or low Gold) anyway.
But hey, that's only my view. Obviously other people think it differently.
I know that feeling, I was in the same spot last season. Now I'm Gold and half of my RL friends are still in Silver \o/Justykanna wrote:

RIP Talon
"It's like Riot has decided that Zed, Ahri and Fizz are the only assassins allowed to be played, and whenever those assassins are not the only 3 viable assassins, they systematically gut every single one of them until it's Zed/Ahri/Fizz for another fucking World Championship."
fucking true
Even though I'm a Talon player I don't like him as a champion and I can understand Riot doesn't want him to be a strong pick. A long range point-and-click silence doesn't offer counterplay and is frustrating to play against. If the entire strength of a champion comes from a silence it's probably a badly designed champion. Zed, Ahri and Fizz (even though I think his untargetability is fucking hilarious and OP) have much healthier kits and gameplay for assassins.
If only Riot knows how to buff champions who aren't played much so those "OP" champs can be countered.
Riot is just stupid. Nerf champ> new picks in lcs> nerf them. Buff never

Riot already said this was coming several months ago. Nothing new at all.
He won't even be played as a counterpick to squishy mages now (what he has always been supposed to be).
Once the meta shifts again and other assassins return to popularity Talon will literally fall to Urgot-tier.

In terms of teamfighting he is still pretty good compared to other assassins
His lane phase will be brutal and he will become a niche pick again but he still has some crazy damage potential. Also he still works decently well against ap mids that rely on a skillshot like Lux/Syndra/Morgana.. if they play it badly.
People need to understand that a silence being the only thing that makes a champion good/viable is a mistake in champion design itself.
Think about it.
Talon definitly needs other changes. Removing the silence was a step into the right decision because it offered no counterplay, which is the definition of an "unhealthy" assassin. His other abilities need some love, including his passive, to make up for his loss of strength.
He might become bad, but comparing him to Urgot is just insane. LOL

A point and click silence on a high burst assassin that has stealth is extremely problematic. Relying on having little to no counterplay to be good is incredibly bad design. It's removal was justified.
I like that he can now proc his passive off his E but the problem is your need to have like 2 ping to do it. They should increase the slow duration to .5 or something since .1 is basically nothing.

oh lol I thought his E would slow for a whole 1 second

LOL IM DEAD
What's even funnier was checking his fb page, seeing tons of chinese / taiwanese people accusing him of being racist and at the same time calling him "white trash", "white pig". lol
though the expressions contain "white" anyway, no matter if the other party is black/white/whatever.
Only banned for 3 games while others were banned for a year or something. Cough cough shook cough cough nukeduck cough cough iwd
You guys should check out his facebook page though, I almost feel bad for him
not like I need sleep anyway

TSM HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEE
guys help me I need to figure out why Leona top is not 100% pick/ban yet
she gets so many free tanky stats and with 40% CDR she is a CC machine
with Iceborn Gauntlet it's just impossible to get away from her and she deals so much damage it's not even funny
yes she doesn't have an escape and that might be bad when playing from behind but there are so many champions that are played in the LCS that are bad when behind that it's not an excuse
I tell you like I told you about Zilean a few months ago: Leona top will be a thing soon

probably cause there simply are better picks, most top laners will just dominate her early, perhaps even picking up kills on her. Main reason why she is prefered as support is because she really doesn't support any damage to kill without help of someone else, and an adc is probably the best source for thisBrokenArrow wrote:

oh, did I mention she has no sustain? good luck against lets say jayce for instance.
Too many champs do well against her. Off the top of my head, Gnar, the uncommon Vayne top, Trundle, Volibear, Riven can't die or will straight out annihilate her. Not to mention she can't benefit from her own innate, which is better used in a duo lane. AP Leona is fun to play and can deal a fair amount of damage but it's not viable.
saying there are better picks and then naming Jayce is pretty funny, I give you that
guys stating viable champions can get countered by unviable champions doesn't make any sense, that's like saying Garen is a stronger pick than Renekton
top lane meta isn't about killing each other 1v1 anymore unless you are Nidalee, tp is a thing now
starting cloth 5 or doran's shield will help with her weak early lane phase, just avoid trading too hard
TRUST ME I CAN SEE THE FUTURE
