I don't know... the last 10 champions were not all op (Vel'Koz not op, Gnar was not op before buffs, Azir was completly bugged, Bard was... really bad) but gotta agree a lot of them were completly broken (Jinx, Yasuo, Ekko, Rek'Sai, Braum, Kalista...)Vulf wrote:

I'm kinda hoping they focus on reworks (*coough*Gangplank) rather than releases but I have little confidence that that's their focus.
PBE looks super stale right now. I wanted something to do besides get dino skins. Bleh.

The lack of "real" reworks is one reason I quit this game.

It's not enough to make me quit because I still like the game. Just a preference thing to me.
It's exactly because of everyone whining about balance and reworks that they made the game so goddamn generic and meh in terms of quality.
EVERY champion back in the day used to be OP in one way or another (except Urgot, because fuck Urgot), and starting s3, when LoL became a giant, all the casual fucks started searching for EVERY flaw that might make a champion "OP" and spam Riot to nerf it.
If you think current champions are broken, you should've seen AP Yi's laning phase. Still, it wasn't hard to kill him at all with proper plays and CC. People just declare every champion as OP when they find it too much of a bother to actually THINK of a way to counter them and put some effort into killing them.
Of all the recently released champions, Kalista is the only SERIOUSLY broken as fuck one.

What, do you mean you'd prefer the return of stuff like AP Yi over what they have been doing over the past 2 years ? Yeah because Nida throwing spears from 2 miles away and chunking down 90% of your health was OP and perfectly balanced as well.
L M A O
And no not every champion was OP, so far I think they've done great with the changes compared to what it was like at that time. Yeah because look, they've made outdated champs viable again, added counterplay to stuff like Nidalee and Yi (!!! Oh noes counterplay what do we do they're not OP anymore QQ) and fixed flawed mechanics to prevent abuse.
OF COURSE they have done many stupid changes over time, but honestly I prefer how the game is now, with a couple champions being actually OP because of the changes they're trying to make (I'd say why not) than over a dozen being OP because they were poorly designed from the beginning.
K only thing I actually dislike is how their changes turned the meta into a dps tank fest but I can live with that.

Everyone has their own opinion, and I'm no different. The reasons I mentioned above is why I'll love s1-s2 above all the other seasons, not only because it was more fun to play champions that weren't sterile, generic fucks, but because the community was also more warm and welcoming than it is today, sadly.
What do you mean she can't kill tanks? She can kite virtually anyone in the game and stack those spears to infinity, and suddenly you wonder where 90% of your HP went.

Well she can, but in teamfights it renders her useless since her rend does no damage to tanks; it literally does no damage. In order for her to kill tanks, she has to go for a crit build sacrificing the runaan's which is something only Korean players do. That being said, I do highly prefer going for a crit build with Kalista, she just feels so much stronger and it's a lot easier to carry; no idea why people still go for runaan's, BT, BOTRK.Aurani wrote:

That's true, yes, but before all the teamfights come around the 25th minute mark, she can eat her lane opponents alive, and hopefully get ahead enough so as to not have THAT much of a problem with tanks later on.
It entirely depends, really.

meanwhile, playing ranked on EUW is still as frustrating as ever..
Currently Plat V since my provisionals went 2-8; previously P1 with average game MMR of D3-- pretty annoying, but I'm not really playing ranked anywhere enough to get out of it anymore after my hands got injured
Speaking of such, when the team just wont end.Jenny wrote:

Suddenly, every Bronze, Silver and Gold player looks at you in disgust as they reflect on the Hell they went through and are currently going through. :p
I know for a fact that every tier can be annoying as fuck, but up there it's not even close to what you'd experience in lower ones, like Silver, where most people reside.
That's the whole reason I only go through my provisionals to see where I'd randomly end up in, and then wait until the next seasons' provisionals to do the same. I just find ranked too frustrating, not because of my own personality (I hardly EVER get down from someone else being a moron - I rather enjoy it and laugh at it), but because of the sheer stupidity most people there are displaying.
I hope you get into Diamond before the end of the season, though. :p

On-topic: People claim they go through Hell to climb one tier but to be honest that can be traced back to them and how they performed, at least, in my opinion. I wouldn't say it's terribly difficult to climb from, say, Silver to Gold, but failing promos a whole bunch is the absolute worst :c
I know of one dude who failed their Silver 2 -> 1 promos like, 10 times, and then there's me who only failed their Gold 4 -> 3 promos like once...and that dude is still in Silver 2 ;_;

I used to be in Silver, I know the struggles - despite that, Plat feels like the worst, considering people always have the "potential" to do something but keep disappointing you so extremely direly every single time.
Bronze, Silver and Gold you can just assume everyone's gonna feed and suck at mechanics, in Platinum it's a somewhat mixed bag so it really hits you meanly x:

Yes, I can agree with that.
In Plat, from experience, people tend to (just like you said) have the potential to make incredible plays, but not only do they constantly fail to live up to your expectations, they also think they're entitled to at least high Diamond, not Plat, so they behave like total goddamn assholes.
Silver is worse, but in a different way. People there feel demoralised from the mere fact that they're Silver, and not Gold (something a lot of Silver-ranked people dream about every night), so they give no fucks about whether or not their mechanics are equal to those of a guy without arms, or if they'll feed and quit. They just lack the fucks to give about the game itself, mostly out of self-pity or on the other extreme end - complete self-centered behaviour, even more so than those Plats.

Plats are the worst; filled with tryhards that think they're good when they don't even deserve any better. Once you start getting high Diamond games start getting more and more chill.

Bronze are, in my opinion, one of the most laid-back and kindest people on ranked. Yes, they might be terrible game-wise, but not many actually rage and feed deliberately, unlike virtually every other tier up to Diamond.

Of course there are going to be people like that all the way from Bronze to Challenger, but some tiers have more than others. Plat, in my opinion, has the most of those "know-it-all ragers".Conor wrote:
Here's a Diamond player raging even worse than the Bronze guy. 3:57 is the funniest part of the whole video. Both of these videos are probably nothing new to you anyway.
Also, why is that retard raging, he got caught like a moron - nothing to blame your team about. Lacking vision in your own jungle? Stop telling your jungler to kill himself and buy a fucking ward yourself, so you don't look like a braindead child when you get caught like that.
I really fail to see why so many people take this game that seriously.... the last time I played ranked, I lost 4 of my games due to either my bot going completely haywire and feeding up to 1-10 and 0-12 (so 22 kills versus 1 on their side - due to me actually TPing in when I had that bit extra time and ganking the lane), or due to my jungler afking for the other 3 games. Did I get annoyed? Yeah sure, but did it affect my mood overall? Not at all. I would be in agony if I was playing for money, but since I'm not, I'm actually just having fun.
My point exactly. Plats are the worst of the community.Aurani wrote:

The grass is always greener on the other side I guess
I've been on both sides, so that can't really apply here. Plat definitely has more people who should get a life, or at least a reality check. :p
Hmm I don't know, I was stuck platinum all season 4 & never found it uber toxic. Yes, there was some toxic players but just like in all other leagues from bronze to challenger I guessAurani wrote:

I feel nothing but pity for that guy. He's just mentally challenged, and I feel a burning pain in my chest when I think how he was raised and how twisted his heart is. He is not even worth a second of my time.
I still don't understand how ekko works, I guess ill have to try him in some bot games or something..
he kills
everybody dies

Basically, after you get your ult, plan it so you bait your opponent into being near your image (easy to do versus guys who have no awareness), and then you have 2 choices:Renevant wrote:

If you are certain they'll remain around it (I mean your ult DOES have an enormous aoe) drop your Q, and with a little skill, they get hit twice, E onto them to proc those 3 stacks and then ult.... if they aren't dead by then, use ignite. :p
The other choice is doing it backwards - ult first, then when you're right next to them, Q, and while it's floating and waiting for that second trigger, E onto them, and when it returns, it'll proc the 3rd strike, dealing tonnes of damage. :p
Alternatively, you can use your ult to TP back into the lane, but then you have to be certain that either you'll win every trade against your opponent and can kill them without using your ult (which is a BIG damage dealing and HP recovery tool), or you have a premade jungler who will camp your lane hard.
No, more often than not Ekko ult is to save you, similar to Zed ult. But if you can safely use it to damage, then yeah
That's not what I've seen.OzzyOzrock wrote:

And what? Zed ult mostly used to save you?
I can safely say that his ult is always going to be used in higher ranked (during the laning phase only) as a free TP back to the lane, above everything else, as I've watched numerous games and almost every damn Ekko I see is never using his ult in the laning phase for damage/heals, but for a cheap, low CD TP.
Back in lower elo, it's easy as shit to just let your opponent walk into your image, and they're mildly screwed from that point on, as his ult has, I believe, 130% AP ratio, with 200-250 base damage (too lazy to check) on the first rank. That's more than enough to rape a third of a level 6 midder's HP. He is definitely going to receive a nerf on his 3-hit proc in the future, too.

I wanted the new Lee skin but it becomes less and less appealing as I see it :c
That's not the main function of his ult, re-think your statement.OzzyOzrock wrote:

Ekko's pretty much is however. The damage portion of the ult is rarely a good option, and it is more used as a way to let you go ham, then go back. Zed was just an ability to compare it to.
Yeah it allows for safe dives and grants access to very reliable escape. Using it to deal damage is rather tricky assuming the enemies are not stupid enough to keep walking on Ekko's hologram.OzzyOzrock wrote:

Crashing? I've been playing every day and am in a lobby right now - no crashes to this date. Also no glitches or weird bugs, either.
Though, I DID experience what it's like to play on EUW for the first time, the day before yesterday, when I was on the TTL, server completely died for some reason and everyone had 700 ping. Killing shit was fun - one second you're csing, another second triple kill. lol

I feel like the game would be a lot better if Riot would actually give more qualified people access to the PBE server instead of random kids that never report any bugs and are unable to give any sort of constructive criticism or give valuable feedback.
I haven't played in over a month because I dislike the state of the game as it is right now (and also because The Witcher 3 and ESO have kept me busy).

I find it hilarious I still have PBE access even though I haven't logged into it in over a year. Since the Feral Flare testing/nerfs.
Even the people who report bugs (unless its something major) and post good informing stuff are pretty much ignored. The thread I made about that shitty jungle item that got Warwick nerfed was completely ignored despite the math I provided and the upvotes I got.
It's less about unqualified people having access and more about Riot simply not giving a shit.

You missed the thread, mate. There is one above this dedicated to sharing your darn name with other people. :p
That thread is dead though.
We can get a mongrel mod to edit it so it becomes a place where you share your name with others, basically like the "find a friend" thread. Add a couple of details like the number of games you've played so far, your preferred mode, ranking (if you're into playing ranked with others) et cetera et cetera.
Maybe, just maybe we could make it work, perhaps?

I merely used it as a reference. Of course I'd love to avoid such a circlejerking and attention-seeking, feces-filled thread, but it's the best reference I could think of.
If someone really wanted to, they could just collect all of the names from the last couple months and put it into a list, then ask a mod to edit it into the first post.
