League of Legends: Let's Talk About uhhh??

what is with people getting so angry on the internet about skins, like if you dont want to buy it then dont but really even at it's full price its not that bad. i've dropped $25+ on a party before that only lasted one night and left me in a worse condition than the previous day, so like $15 for the best skin in the game doesnt sound too bad.
 
Not even close, a few months at most.. I remember hearing about it and rocketeer trist in the second semester of this past school year

What does hearing about it have to do with when they actually started making it? Considering how long they take to do other things (not to mention their schedule) I'd say it's been in the works for quite a long time.
 
i'm considering playing ez just for that skin. he's a pretty awesome champ in dominion: fantastic poke, flash over walls whenever you want to be annoying, and global ult to help maintain map control. downside is that he is one of the harder champs to play correctly, all skillshots are not for the faint of heart and i really don't have the twitch reactions for him. ;.; but dammit, i wanna make it work. (that and i really need to learn casters. lulu doesn't cut it when my team needs AP)
 
<Thorns> there is a point where cass can't kill things anymore

Builds chosen for ease of comparison: Ashe has average base AS for an AD carry and no steroid. Cassiopeia is straight-up glass cannon though she will usually have a Rylai's or something. The difference between measuring spell range and autoattack range gives them approximately the same max attack range. Amusingly, they also both have stuns as ultimates.

Ashe - standard AD 21/9/0
Berserker's Greaves, Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer, Last Whisper, Vampiric Scepter - 10335 gold

.658 base AS + (.658*.0334*17) + (.658*.84) = 1.584 attack speed
46.3 + 2.85*18 + 80 + 40 + 3 + .5*18 = 229.6 attack damage
25 + 30 = 55% critical strike chance for 260% damage

THE DEEPS
229.6*.45 + 229.6*.55*2.6 = 431.65 average damage per attack * 1.584 attacks per second = 683.73 damage per second
Less Armor, with 6 + 46% armor penetration, and 13% lifesteal. Rune setup will vary.

Cassiopeia - standard AP 21/9/0
Sorcerer's Shoes, Rabadon's Deathcap, Void Staff, Hextech Revolver, Needlessly Large Rod - 9795 gold

(330 AP itemized + 21 [Blast + 3/4 Mental Force]) * 1.35 = 473.85 AP

THE DEEPS
Noxious Blast = 78 + 473.85*.266~ = 204.36 * 1.015 (Havoc) = 207.4254 DPS
Twin Fang at one cast per second (e.g. hitting a poisoned target at range) = (190 + 473.85*.55)*1.015 = 457.3767625 DPS
Total combined 664.80 damage per second
Less MR, with 20 + 46% magic penetration, and 12% spell vamp. Rune setup will vary.

tl;dr Cass does the fucking deeps
 
Yea man, APs fall off late game duh, maybe we should just have 2 ADs on a team instead because they scale better!

(Although AD Tristana mid is actually a viable pick)
 
Awhile back having 3 or so AD carries was considered normal. If you didn't have 2 or more AD carries your team was "noob" and you were about to get stomped.
 
Ugh, played on EUW because NA isn't working right now. I'm only level 9 there. Our Rammus went 0/28/5 and just ran straight to turret without attacking for the first 20 or so deaths. We still managed to win since our Kat seemed to also be smurfing. She beat me in kills but only because Rammus was feeding my lane not hers and because they would fight without me but not without her.
 
Liking this patch a lot, I'm a big fan of when Riot just makes little tweaks to make minor improvements to the game. It's something that the LoL fanbase really takes for granted, but I honestly get excited about updated splash art.
 
Most of the splash arts they're updating don't need updating, hence why a lot of people are complaining. Blood Moon Akali? The NA art is great. Why the hell aren't they instead changing her terrible default skin splash art?

This patch has turned into a whole lot of ass anyway. No major changes, still need server downtime to apply it. Choose to do it on the weekend for some reason, when they don't even normally do that with major content patches. Still break the game and have to kill the server for the entirety of Sunday to revert the changes. Good work, Riot!
 
Does anyone have a link to all the new splash artwork?

I am also kinda angry that they decided to do the patch on a Sunday. Completely wasted a day that could be used to collect IP to get swain :3
 
Well TF's art did need updating because it is so grainy. I really liked how they redid his.
 
Fuck the community sometimes. Dominion solo queue, I was Panth. Rest of the team was Kass, Volibear, Karthus, and Xin Zhao. I volunteered to go bot because apparently in solo queue people think going bot is the equivalent of being castrated (bot is only boring if you are shitty at pushing, I honestly think that it plays similarly to solo top in SR). Found out my lane opponent was a Rammus who started Warden's Mail, and requested that someone switch with me because I can only hold for so long, much less push, against that. Our team won top, and Karthus went bot. I thanked him for the change, to which he responded with "u are a bitch and suck. just sayin". Ouch, but I ignored it. He proceeded to intentionally feed in anger and make shitty plays because going bot is apparently the most offensive, terrible thing in the world. If that wasn't bad enough, Volibear proceeded to bitch the entire game about how our Kassadin was awful and didn't assist him in his attempts to 1v3 their team (Kass led the team in bases captured and kills may I add) and stopped trying while we were still many points ahead. Karthus and Volibear's poor attitude and lack of cooperation lost us the game. Gah. I normally don't rage, but I do so when people don't use common sense, don't try, and most importantly don't listen to the team...and in this game all three elements were present.
 
Why would you go bot with a character who can't push in the first place? And Rammus bot makes no sense either since bot takes away the advantages that powerball gives him and he has no AoE for pushing.
