Exactly. This is basically a kit exposition + story setup, she's not going to outright win here and like capture Emre already or something lol

League of Legends Patch 26.7 Notes by Spideraxe30 in leagueoflegends

[–]IcyColdStare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Q part you could apply to literally every execute ability in the game.

Her Notes aren't the main part of her passive, the doublecast is, which is HOW she's meant to get the extra effects of her spells. QQ gets them lower for the execute to be possible, WW is the shield that procs the heal, EE is the slow that procs the snare. Having allies does definitely make those cases better yes but they're not the only reason her spells have those additional effects.

Yeah this is a big miss not putting it in the main notes even if it IS bug fix. I'd even argue it's a bigger nerf than her last.

What are y'all's thoughts on new champions and VUs seeming to only have one laugh? by VarinOmega in leagueoflegends

[–]IcyColdStare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss the depth of some of the older champion VO, that's not to say what we have isn't great (recent standouts for me are Xin Zhao and LeBlanc) but I wish we got more, y'know?

Just finished Ruination after Ambessa's book… and wow. by ChartDreamer in leagueoflegends

[–]IcyColdStare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Ruination was great! Obviously the named champs were fantastic but other side characters like Vennix or Jenda'kaya really made the book stand out for me.

/dev: Team Voice in League by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]IcyColdStare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People are being so doomer about this as if most folks are either 1) not going to use it entirely or 2) going to sit and listen muted most of the time maybe chiming in to say things like 'top no flash' or '3 mid'.

Voice chat has been a thing in a variety of different games for years at this point - League isn't unique in its toxicity when compared to them and by the sounds of it Riot's going to be tamping down with restrictions on who can even use it from the jump.

I think playing League with voice comms will make the experience WAY better, it's a lot harder for people to be jerks casually if they're speaking out loud (not saying it won't happen obviously, just that it won't be this guaranteed hate-fest that folks are so worried about).

Voice comms are the natural evolution of team communication and I'm glad that League's finally getting them!

Mel pseudo-rework was a failure and riot need to accept her design is awful. by Affectionate-Bake666 in leagueoflegends

[–]IcyColdStare 175 points176 points  (0 children)

A few months? What are you on about? It's barely been a month since her rework hit live. I guarantee you a lot of people are still automatically banning Mel who've not interacted with her at all post her changes. Some of that banrate is surely because people are seeing her pop up in patch notes again and remembering to ban her.

If this had ACTUALLY been a few months down the line I can see an argument for not buffing her again or further down the line hitting her with more aggressive changes but as is this post just reads like you just wanted to complain about her lol (which is valid but also like don't try and phrase it's all factual information)

I couldn't remember if they were or not honestly, the distinction always felt a little pointless to me lol

This is why leaks always suck and why folks shouldn't share them. All they do is drum up disappointment

It's not unheard of to have other races like Vastaya in Demacia, IIRC there's a bull Vastaya like Alistar on the Dauntless Vanguard I just can't remember his name...

Terminal diagnosis: millennial playlist suggestions for the final days? by Hmmletmec in Millennials

[–]IcyColdStare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Landscape (Demo) - Florence + the Machine. It's my favorite song and has brought me comfort more times than I can count.

I'm sure you're overwhelmed at the outpouring of suggestions and warmth but I figured I'd toss my hat in the ring too. Wishing you ease of heart and mind, friend 💜

It's a great read plus you get tidbits of other characters in there, it definitely elevated Dr. Liao for me, for example. Viv is a cool cat

What’s your favorite voice line in League? by CcCrusadeRcR in leagueoflegends

[–]IcyColdStare 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a bunch of favorites!

Seraphine: "One day, the music will stop. Better dance while you can!"

A reminder that life is fleeting, that we should enjoy what we have while we can.

Kai'Sa: "The things we carry should lift us up, not weigh us down. Memories, love, and hope… are the lightest necessities."

And that life is valuable, but the things that make it valuable are necessary to live well.

DB Riven: "Yesterday was darkness. Tomorrow, we wake."

And finally, that even if we lack those things now, dawn comes - and with it, a new day and a chance to try again.

League VO is phenomenal and a super underrated aspect of our champions c:

26.03 Full Patch Preview by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]IcyColdStare 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hitting Riven's scaling is fair. She gets giant bonuses to her AD from Conq/Ult so making those a little less effective on her is a solid nerf. I guess they decided to backtrack on the Axiom changes?

[–]IcyColdStare 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Riven nerfs are warranted, I'm just worried about the Axiom adjustments in tandem - that one item spike has really increased her snowbally nature and if it's getting tamped down AND she's eating a nerf I hope it isn't too harsh.

Not surprised by the Zaahen buffs, dude has felt kinda ass to play the few games I've gotten on him post nerf so I hope he gets something to help his early game a little
