you can't dodge his ult with blinks, otherwise everyone with flash would just dodge it

I voted Fid, I think he needs it way more than anyone else. They even talked about him as a jungler even though he's been a support for the past 29 years lol

replace Mundo and Shyvana with Tryndamere and Udyr and I'd like the choices much better, but I don't think the current 5 are *bad* options. I voted for Fiddlesticks though, such an unfun and uninteractive kit

what kind of things do you mean when you say > I think if I did even one of the things he did ?

So uh...6 months later and I haven't seen any mention about Clash anywhere. Can you give us some idea as to the state of Clash and when regions (specifically NA) can expect to participate in the future?

Those who find offense in things that are not meant to be offensive is the problem. Anything ending with the letters "coon" is now grounds to be punished for (under your argument) simply because people immediately jump to racism over anything else, and the fact that you put the blame on the free-going individual instead of those who are making accusations of racism is appalling. Words only have the power you give them. The only reason one should be offended over something is if it's being used in a negative context, aka namecalling and insults. If someone gets offended by "icecoon" or "racoon", 100% perfectly reasonable innocent names, then that's on them.

You go from +260% regen to +130. I get what you're saying, but I don't think it's necessarily bad for the item to be niche against specific types of champs. Tanks can always look towards {{item:3193}} or other items instead. If you're not against a dps mage like {{champion:268}} or {{champion:69}} it's almost always better to be stacking health (that synergies with both resistances) after {{item:3065}} + {{item:3111}} anyways, as it's a natural mitigation to burst damage.

Don't you think it's unique passive has a higher value than it's lost regen?

Can you define "True Damage" for me OP?

So Dark Souls-esque I love it

I literally haven't heard of that reason for the helmet, ever. If there's any reason to complain, it's that her "unmasked kayle" skin of whatever isn't as special anymore but like I think this is such a stupid reason to complain about

That's been a bug for ages, Riot doesn't care {{sticker:zombie-nunu-bummed}}

It's now been a full season since then and they haven't talked about it since, and that irks me because it seem's like a pretty standard thing an honor system should have.

Why was he permanently banned during the Trinity Force/Frozen Mallet meta? Or when he would build Blade? Or is he SO overpowered that one could justify banning him if he ran 5 tears? I mean he was busted during the TriForce/Frozen Mallet meta too. He was a mobile champion with enough kit buffs and base damages to abuse the item combination that provided way too much damage yet tankiness to those that could use it. So I really need to explain that further? As for why he's banned even when he's not good? That's simple. He's annoying. When people play against him, they feel like they're just watching a player play against them self. Even if he's not good, that doesn't mean he's fun to play against. You're only looking at it from a power/statistics standpoint while forgetting that this is also a game with actual people playing, people that have preferences and feelings. They simply don't *like* playing against someone who usually has something in their kit to deal with most situations. If you're melee, he can usually go even and has an auto reset, as well has pen/damage buffs. If you're ranged, he has windwall. Mobile/Immobile? He has his E. Under tower? His ult doesn't care. stuff like that may not necessarily break him, but his kit as a whole isn't fun to play against for a lot of players.

You have a supposedly high skill-floor champion rocking a [51-52% ](https://na.op.gg/champion/yasuo/statistics/mid) winrate with a *9% play rate*. That is quite absurd numbers for a champion that's supposed to be difficult to play. For context, his winrate went up by an entire 3% between last patch and this patch. Even if he's not "busted", he is most certainly stronger than he should be allowed to be this patch.

"why were my 0 effort spam/troll posts removed from the non-meme board" does this really have to be answered for you?

The thing about this is that it doesn't have permanent uptime by just having minions there. They have to hit 5 things before it comes online...which is actually pretty broken on some champs but overall more healthy I think idk, I'd have to hop on pbe to see how it feels

Maokai literally has less than a 1% playrate, either you have 0 understanding of statistics or you are cherrypicking lmfao

can I get the screenshots of both what the champion select and of your full conversation with the riot employee please and thanks edit: why on earth am I being downvoted lol

Olaf is broken on URF and you think having 10 deaths (let alone 94 farm in 15:30 mins) deserves an S?

Sorry, but doesn't this change his level 1? From what I know, lucians take W lv1 because it does the same damage, but it has a further and unconditional cast compared to his W So from what I see, his level 1 is now noticeably weaker. I'm not saying it's gonna shove him out of the meta or make his winrate drop by even a full %, but I also don't think it's fair to say that it does nothing

http://prntscr.com/mbtby4 yes, because everyone knows Riot employees are inherently the best players in their games because reasons and stuff. It's not like you've _never_ fed in any game you've ever played

Flex Queue can often be plagued by an almost blind-pick like mindset by many players. It's not nearly as competitive nor strategic, especially because it isn't even a guaranteed 5-man queue. Not to mention Flex Queue rank simply isn't worth sacrificing Solo Queue rank. Champion select in solo queue and flex lack any strategy as you just ban what is most op/annoying and hope your team can pick up the rest (more or less, it would take a bit longer to properly explain that but that's the gist). Clash has more strategy as you can look at you opponent's history and craft a proper ban/pick order, including picking away mains or baiting teams into certain comps you have an answer for. I would describe Flex Queue as an attempt to bridge Solo Queue's competitive environment with Normal Queue's friendly/enjoyable setting, and as a result it possesses very little competitive integrity, something a tournament setting and Clash would not lack. That plus the lack in champion select strategy and the significantly different mindsets by players cause me to believe Clash is clearly a better and more competitive setting for teams to compete in. Sorry if you disagree, but that's how I see it.

Probably because they want them to be able to be viewed in all regions, and there are _some governments (cough cough_ china _cough cough_) that are [very touchy](https://dailycaller.com/2018/12/14/report-china-ban-video-games/) about video games and Riot/Tencent doesn't want to overstep any boundaries

Just because they are preparing for shit to happen doesn't mean they expect for shit to happen. It just shows they've learned from Clash and don't wanna fuck up unprepared. Murphy's Law if you will. But anyways, them preparing for a big change is no reason to critique them. I'd rather them be ready to revert it if needed than them *not* be ready to if it is needed

He is diamond in *flex queue*, he's just another plat 4 in solo queue. There's a big difference between flex and solo queue

trying to make a lore-based argument to excuse an outlier op champion is incredibly, ridiculously, absolutely stupid...

That doesn't mean Shaco is good. Because if he was he'd be played competitively. That just means everyone is bad and allows Shaco to win due to that. This is incredibly wrong in every way. 1. They cited more then winrate. They cited winrate, playrate, and curves/changes through elos. You can accurately determine the strength of a champion based on those observations. 2. "A population that doesn't know what they're doing in the first place" ...like what? Diamond players don't know what they're doing? And even though Ru didn't mention it, there are *several* diamond-challenger shaco mains out there...did they just get up there because no one knows what they're doing? 3. The idea that if a champion is strong in solo queue then they're automatically going to be played competitively has been proven wrong over and over and over throughout the years. The reverse is true too. I thought it was pretty basic knowledge that competitive league of legends is *vastly* different then solo queue, it's why Galio (when he had a ~47% wr and awful pick rate at all elos) was pick/ban for a time for professional players. It's why Azir and Kalista had to be dumpstered. There is no statistical, mathmatical, or any other respectable reason someone can claim shaco is bad. Anecdotal evidence maybe, but that's it.

What do you mean? Shyvana is a classic half-dragon/half-human who can shift between forms, Orianna was literally made to look like that in likeness of her creator's daughter, Brand displays types of changes after experiencing a world rune in the same way as Ryze so that's consistent, and Zyra (who is probably based off Poison Ivy from Batman) + Kalista who is an original concept with nothing to compare to (at least in the league universe). How are any of these champions looking in a way that is contradictory to their lore? Again, the only case I can agree with you on among these examples are Kassadin, who entered the void *prepared* and still was changed more than Kai'sa who fell in as a child and lived there for 10 years.

Then she'd just be kai'sa but with blue skin. Don't forget that kassadin has been looking for her for as long as sshe's been missing. Actually she'd be more like a female Jax (who survived the fall of Icathia, but not before his skin grew purple and mumpy). Jax, you may know, covers himself with the cloak because his appearance scares others. The void tainted him, corrupted him, and disfigured him. Karthus is from the Shadow Isles, they are not comparable, at least not nearly as much as Kai'sa to Jax. I'm confused as to what you're trying to argue for the rest of your comment though? I've already established that humanoid figures can be attractive or ugly. None of these champions have gone through anything that would scar/harm/disfigure her body or drive them insane like Kai'sa should be, so would you mind explaining what point you're trying to make? Edit: Kassadin is the only one who should be fucked up, and so I'd also argue that he's in the same boat as Kai'sa.

The original argument was that Trundle was the last "ugly" champion we've gotten, and so Oleandervine pointed out there have been several champions who haven't exactly been top-of-the-charts in the beauty department. If you're argument against his point is that they don't count cuz they aren't human, why even join the discussion in the first place if the original comment was about an ugly champion who isn't even human. Imo Tahm, Pyke, and Kled should *definitely* count as "ugly" champions because they're *humanoid*, just as Trundle is.
