Even EA can't fuck *that* up. There's nothing *to* fuck up. Literally any change you made to anything would be balanced by the fact that everyone has it. Put strongest weapon and gear behind a paywall, boom you just imbalanced the game. This is what they did in Blops 4, so not "everyone had it." Add to that if you have systems that lock it behind progression that also creates an imbalance plus some weapons being clearly better (ie snipers almost, if not, one shotting targets)

Unless you're EA, it's pretty hard to make a shooter imba. It's all twitch reflexes and spacial awareness. I've beaten MGs using SMGs and rockets were no match for a knife to the face. Plus, grenades are the ultimate equalizer.

It's a League-themed card game. Enjoy your version of Hearthstone <3

I was not a fan of NB because it was too chaotic for my tiny brain. I'm holding out for BMB which may never come. As well as that, there is no incentive to play in general. Either win or you just wasted at least 30 minutes of your time. Sure you get XP and MP, but I miss the days when I got IP even on a loss. Made getting beat not feel as terrible.

No one needs me to tell them that this group sucks. But it's also worth pointing out that there are nice communities as well, depending on what you surround yourself with. For example, I'm now a member of a Discord server dedicated to the Lore of League for a few months, and they are one of the nicest, most diverse groups I've ever met. Honestly, this kept me from abandoning League (and everything related) altogether. There's a mentality thing to it, namely I don't have to hold myself to a standard and don't feel as if I need to constantly "keep up with the Kardashians" as it were. To me, it's a hobby, to someone else it's a career. At least that is how I see it. But it's apples to apples. It's a shame that it's hard to find nice communities when almost every group is surrounded by angry players shouting that things weren't good as before like some hipsters. Okay, I get it, you don't like change so why are you screaming in my ear why I shouldn't like this? I am not you and you don't speak for me, while I do have my own issues, please don't pull me into your rage. My main concern is the vocal minority overpowers the silent majority whom are afraid to speak up lest they get tore to shreds. I can't say something like "I think SAO: Fatal Bullet is an amazing game" without being told how horrible the story and characters are. Can you just nod and be no your way? I just want to talk, not really argue which is a growing problem. Also, sorry for late reply, lightning took out our power, yay.

There's also the matter of "trading kills" when one is your 2/0 Jungler and the other is an 0/2 Support. The jungler loses out so much more because shut down, objective control, as well as all the gold pocketed from it through assists. While the reasoning is there, it doesn't detract from the hostility that breeds from every death being an "intentional feed" when you simply get caught. It enforces a negative mindset that the person who died did so to bring your team down and thus lowers the morale of everyone else. It could be a 1v5 under tower, but hindsight 20/20 in that everything could be prevented simply by avoiding the situation which is impossible unless you're a mind reader. In short, every death I could easily argue is inting because you _knowingly and willingly_ took a trade / decision that resulted in your demise. Ergo, you can't say "I didn't know they dive me" when you stayed, their team was missing and you were being pushed which means it would be a better decision to forfeit the objective for your life. This should not be the case in a **_team-based strategy game._**

Off-topic question, when are we going to get this scheme across all the rest of the boards. On-topic THANK YOU I WANTED THIS SO BAD <3 http://imgur.com/hgj4jit

*Sips coffee* gut everyone.

They have two now, Mechs vs Minions which my oldest brother constantly drools over the packaging.

That's not Irelia, that's Karma, you lied to me.

I like taking it as a safer option compared to thunderlord's where proc'ing it mostly consits of E-E- auto which means I have to get in range and, being a burst mage, is bad as I'll become prone to ganking.

For some reason, listening to her reminds me of Joanna Dark from...well Perfect Dark.

{{champion:7}} pro plays, probably why.

Pretty sure Teemo needs to be swapped with vayne

Yasuo is having none of it.

ADC, Jungle, Support, Mid, so we're just missing a top laner. Of all that's seen play or is super popular, I'm going to guess either Fiora or Galio. Unless that Pulsefire Caitlyn is real then that's the next one.

I'll do Support-Mid from time to time. If I q for Top/ADC/Jungle, I'll somehow manage to get it every other game. Not that I'm terrible (apart from top), I'm not all that great either and I get the luck of facing high plats on their mains whenever I'm filled in those roles.

Well, if you're at 0 LP, and you dodge, it goes to -3 and so on, not sure if there's a limit and wanted to make a joke. In a more serious note, take a break if you're on a losing streak or learn what's going wrong (and don't say "omg, shit teammates are holding me back" because you're missing what exactly is going wrong such as mis-positioning or bad map control)

If you're at -80, you might want to stop dodging...

{{champion:99}} _puts on blublocker glasses_ "DEMACI-blergharrgh!"

Love the music and like the art. Sidenote: I've always loved the "glassy" shine of eyes when it came to waifus, never understood why.

Being a support main, I have an ass of an ADC once maybe in 200 games or so and usually it's been my fault (not sarcastically, I actually legit screw up and get my teammates killed). I think people just want to complain cause they got stuck in the role and want to carry but instead tick off teammates. ie Support Singed and "omg, I'm helping my team!" and play more like a second role. My biggest complaint is people yelling at me to stop dying even though it gets us an Ace and my score is some 2/6/45.

I'm willing to bet SKT is going to win again simply because the West don't really put out good enough teams. C9 gets overconfident which makes them run into a wall, TSM chokes when on the spot and the only real competitor were Edward Gaming and Rox Tigers, I think. Who knows, though, last year saw an almost upset when they were dethroned. Still, given how eSports is viewed outside of Korea, I'll be surprised if a NA or EU team wins.

If you're doing this, you better add block and the ability to leave clubs. As it stands, those two components are still missing.

REK'SAI ATE KHA'ZIX WHY

Losing is never fun no matter the champion because "I'm Challejour, these nubs I carry." P&C is unfun CC is unfun Skillshots are unfun {{champion:17}} is the antithesis of unfun Why the need for a graduate level word? BECAUSE...

Screw you, Sony. Not available in my country. Fine, I'll just go to nico video {{sticker:slayer-jinx-unamused}}

> Morgana = Snare, stun "Death Sentence" Also kind of surprising there's so few unique hard CCs (silence, taunt, pull) and it's more about the stunes and knockups (...Must be Yasuo's doing). A lot of them are skill-shots which would make sense, how many are targeted? That would make for an interesting fact. Lastly PUT IT ALPHABETICAL ORDER, YOU'RE KILLING ME

She's still decent if you invest in a Rylai's. 9/10 nobody ever expects it and I get a slow/stun off.

I just realized that I used to build it a lot on Lux and Sona, hardly Soraka but didn't play her a lot. Now I don't, not sure when it happened but I think the new Redemption item made it far more valuable of a purchase to ignore.

Fizz tends to be a problem for me since he can dodge most of your stuff, takes less damage and has a bleed. Katarina's another one since she can just pop you under tower.

I think you need this since it's more skill-based http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256681301/movie480.webm?t=1489478846

Pretty sure Banshee's is the only decent mage item now, everything else is just pointing to rip any burst mage and potentially any other mages/ap assassins simply because Adaptive Helm alone nullifies their ability to take out squishies whom are going to be rushing {{item:3814}} as a second item Woo, a spell shield, how amazing. Now, let's see our armor options: {{item:3191}} {{item:3047}} {{item:3157}} and if you were desperate enough to build Tabi's, you're essentially cutting yourself in the Achille's since you need all the penetration you can get. As any Ahri knows, an Anivia Lane is quite literally the worst because, by the time you do a full rotation of spells to kill, you need to do it again on little to no mana. When Zeds and Talons are getting GA as a core item, good luck to any hope you have for winning or even surviving to get to the mid game.

I'd honestly say they'd be in the low to mid 20s range. Just because you see the under 18s doesn't make up for the entire range. I'm 26 myself, two others I know are around there, gbay99 is there too. I'd say they're all playing Minecraft and Overwatch right now, though a poll might help a lot.

I'd have to say Shen's E. I'm good enough to thread an Ahri charm between two minions with only like a pixel in between but for some reason I can never get his taunt off.

Meanwhile I'm sitting on 28 key fragments and no chests.

Well, I mean I got to do Support Varus with a Caitlyn carry into a Kog-Galio Lane. We somehow won lane and won game, I don't know how, but my supporting skills are legendary.

Doesn't Ragna drop an F bomb now and again?

Not sure when it happened and am too lazy to search, but congrats on getting Arbiter!

At least it's not in the knee, you can still be an adventurer.

With so many items being made towards MR, is there any possibility of changes to Rabadon's Deathcap? It's too expensive of an item for a single raw stat. I often think of it as the mage version of Infinity Edge. Maybe lower the AP and add a tiny bit of Magic Penetration? There's not really much in the way for mages to deal with tanks apart from Void Staff. I remember getting cap as a second item way long ago. Now I hardly ever buy the thing because 1) I don't have enough slots to make the base components worth it or 2) if I build it early, I'm losing out on statistically better items including Morello's and Rylai's.

I think there might be a tad too many terms, but I wouldn't mind something like Specialist or Tactician since that's usually the main function of a Support. They're the ones running around the map, keeping teams up to fighting and in general have the best objective focus second only to junglers. Speaking of icons, has there been any talk of bringing back the old Team Builder icons? While on the subject, I just remembered something as I was on the PBE: could there be some way where hovering over the icon tells you what it is? It would be great for in case I forget the name or why I even go the icon such as the Birthday Poro.
