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

I'm a little late but, I played against this really good Hecarim. (I could tell. He wasn't that bad. He had 100 CS 10 minutes in compared to my 60.) His w gives little to no sustain if you don't put points in it. He does no poke if you don't put points in q. He SUCKS if you max e. But, anyways 6/0. AS POPPY. Like Hothot said, if there is nothing special about him, there is no point in putting him top. Shen has global presence and sustain. Udyr had sustain. Lee has insane poke pre-6. He doesn't have insane poke, sustain, or global presence. It's underwhelming.

Which is just as well, blind pick is virtually unplayable as it is.

QFT. I'm buying some more champs and playing draft this week, lol. I thought the last free week was pretty awful (just some shit I personally detest playing against / am prejudiced against the players of when they're on my team) but this one tops it...

I'm happy that some champs I would like to try out are gonna be free this week, though <3
 
I'm gonna be playing blind pick as Shaco this week.

I main jungle, but I mostly play junglers with fast clears and bad ganks. But with Shaco, I can try the opposite: godlike ganks and a meh clear.

Also, while I'm posting here, Jungle Teemo is godlike.
 
As my first 3150 champion, Shaco can fail hard. Rammus does whatever he wants though.


Lame free week for me, only 3 champions I don't have and only 1 of those I actually like (graves).
 
Actually I was reminded about Kennen replacing Karthus in the August 30th rotation when Karthus was glitched and disabled at the time. IIRC they never actually removed Kennen from the free champion pool after re-enabling Karthus.

Everyone knows Riot tries to pretend Evelynn doesn't exist, so it's not shocking that she doesn't get placed on free rotation. It was pretty amazing that they even acknowledged Twitch not too long ago.

I've got 6500 IP saved up for Varus when he comes out. I main AD bottom and I intend to make him work no matter how crappy he is on release.
 
Morellos Evil Tome
75 Ability Power
12 Mana Regen per 5 seconds
UNIQUE Passive: 20% Cooldown Reduction
UNIQUE Active: Inflicts target enemy champion with Grievous Wound, causing 50% reduced healing and regeneration for 6 seconds (20 second cooldown)

Why?

New item seems too good. Mana based Mages now have unlimited sustain (eg: Poking Mage Meta) Other item nerfs are pretty funny.
 
Oh my God that item looks awesome. I'm a LoLnoob though, so experienced people tell me if my first thoughts are correct.

EDIT: The "new item seems to good" part from the above ninja kinda answers that question I guess.
 
Grail looks amazing, unlike the introduction of Maw. CDR is incredibly underrated for the most part, mostly thanks to "blue buff," and to get it on an Abyssal-like package for a similar price is awesome. When the enemy team comp forces Tabi/Mercs, no longer will casters be forced purely offensive (DFG/Morello's) or defensive (Frozen Heart etc.) to itemize for it. The fact it upgrades from Chalice and retains its huge mana regen passive is just icing on the cake for the Anivias and Swains of the world that need it, though still useful for every mana user if not overkill. Also it kinda obsoletes Tear -> Archangel's entirely except for last-item Ryze. :[

Personal mathy comparison I decided to share:

Sorc Shoes + Grail relative to CDR Boots + Abyssal:
(-) 350 gold more expensive, -62 gold value in the AP/MR changes (NLR and Negatron as comparators).
(-) Personal penetration doesn't boost ally damage and penetration fails in the rare case someone is actually reduced to negative MR.
(+) Your penetration (reduction) isn't restricted to 1000 range, in instances where you might out-range your own aura.
(+) Huge-ass fucking mana regen. Even if you're not playing someone like Kassadin that can use absolutely every point of mana you could possibly have, a little regen is useful to every mana-using champion.

The Morello's change has been on their minds for a while now, back when they were contemplating removing the healing debuff on Ignite to ensure casters still had an option for applying one. I guess they decided the item needed some love now, though I'm still not sure how I feel about it relative to DFG. Even where you're not using it as part of a 100-0 instagib combo, taking a big chunk of health out of someone is functionally similar to the indirect damage you deal via lowering their healing. I suppose the favorable secondary stats, including lower cost, make it a no-brainer purchase now against sustain-based champions (Vlad, Mundo, etc.) but eh, whatever. I wonder what the range on the active is.

also ryze buffs lolwut
 
Small thing to note is that neither the cdr or 12% mana restore are unique. Maybe stacking them on Galio (Grail + Grail as opposed to the old Chalice + Abyssal) may be worth something idk.

Ryze's changes are pretty funky.
 
I played Dominion bots on Inter a few times today with some people from #tf2. A bunch of people told me it was really boring, and, um, there's like absolutely no way to lose to the bots at Dominion, as far as I can tell (you can even lose against Intermediate bots on SR if people feed hard enough then let the bots get full build...), but I played DUNK LULU and it was pretty fun imo!!! I may have been enjoying running around at >600 ms more than the actual gameplay though :x lol

Ghost / Revive
21-1-5 ('cause not level 30) with Revive, respawn time, and movespeed masteries
Move Really Fast Boots / 5x Doubleswords
Whimsy

ZOMBIE LULU SO FUCKING FAST

I saved the masteries and I'm pretty sure the next pvp SR game I play as Lulu or something I'm going to 'accidentally' use them oh god (also fast and fun etc.)
 
Actually you can lose to Inter Dom bots if over half your team is on under 10fps and lagged too badly to fight/survive. And you're trying to teach newbies Dom but ofc are too lagged.

In other news I had 60fps on PBE for the first time and it was really weird. A lot of particles are messed up: I was Cass and half the width of my tail vanished when it slithered left. The minions also looked different, almost more dimensional. I'll have to see today if things are better or still glitchy.
 
Under 10 fps doesn't count; under 10 fps, anything goes ~_~

Also you think 60 fps is weird bc you're not used to it? @_@ Are you sure you didn't accidentally change any of your graphics settings, because once I pressed something (still don't know what) and all my graphics changed and my LoL resolution lowered dramatically, causing heaps of confusion until I checked my settings and fixed them lol ._. It made them lower quality, actually, but I noticed a significant change between them and the default settings, so if you have your settings lowered that could account for it...?
 
You people with your good fps... My fps topped out at around 20 before I decided to lower the graphics settings all the way, and now I'm usually at 30-40.

How the HELL do you get 60?

With everything else screwy it is hard to tell if the 60fps was disorienting me or the glitches.. minions were moving very quickly at times but almost too fast to just be from faster frames you know? The game actually did alter the screen res on its own and shrunk everything on the loading page so I had to change that but I don't know what it was before.

I'll play more PBE tonight a bit and see if anything else odd pops up.
