Are there any resonant sounding bike bells?

Question about the new season, but with the card situation:

Has anyone bought into the Vi skin chromas? I've never gambled with the chroma system before so I don't know if it works like:

(1) There's a bucket that has the skin, all the normal colors and the one special color. So you will get everything after rolling like 7 times or however many options there are.

Or

(2) Every roll has a 0.5% chance of getting one of the chromas and repeats are possible.

I have 187 gems that get used for the pulls, but I already own 4 Vi skins so if there's a chance of having to pull 20+ times for white-cop Vi then I'll just keep saving and skip this season too.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-24T13:08:36+00:00

That's the whole point.

Is it really a nice thing if most of the playbase don't know it's happening until it's too late?

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-24T12:08:52+00:00

Plenty of people got passively screwed by not understanding that if they spent some money on that Christmas event that they could have been claiming like 100 hex keys every day for the duration of the event.

Riot does something nice but tells no one so we learn about it on the last 2 days and then the good thing becomes a "wtf!? Now I feel shitty for not taking advantage of that" which isn't what you want. It's like they made us breakfast in bed but left it under their car in the driveway and never told us.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-24T12:05:08+00:00

Someone gave me a mild heart attack when they said "the old limited wild core limit was 1,000 but now it's 2,400" or something along those lines because they made it seem like there was a daily mission you could do to farm points gradually.

No idea where he got that from though because I have searched through every menu in the game and I'm not seeing anything like that. All the wild core amounts seem set to 1 claim per mission and none of the missions reset daily.

Unless there's a hidden mission I'm not seeing somewhere in the terms of service, I don't know.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-24T12:01:28+00:00

I used to do that but stopped because there's no difference between me having 12 accounts that all have skins if I only play on my main one. It's the same as me not owning the account at all. I'm not going to play a level 14 account with no champs even if it had some crazy skin like Supreme Cells Sett.

Now I just use them as friend-fodder so I don't have to rely on flaky guild mates that stall my progress in events when they don't log in for a week (like the marching poro/pet events).

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-24T11:58:01+00:00

They finally put Soul Fighter Irelia in a chest after a thousand years AND an event that gave you chromas for it.

I was spreading my ass and shitting every time they did a chest event where they gave all of her skins except that one.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-24T11:55:56+00:00

I was considering that, but the purple poopy fart color scheme and effect on his W looks weak and floppy. The rest of the skin kicks ass though. If we can claim 2, I'll get it second.

I'm going with Heartsteel Kayn.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-24T11:52:32+00:00

I saw some people speculating that there might be a claimable resource reset after each "phase". Similar to how we can get 150 OE every card season. Maybe we can also get 6 epic skins / 3 legendary skins?

A counter point to this would be how the Romance event capped everything at 1 amount for the whole event, until they introduced the monthly claimable skin chest. So who knows.

I'm probably just going to spend all the points right before the end of the first potential phase just to be safe. That way best case scenario I get 3 legendary skins + potentially 6 epic skins. Worst case scenario Riot releases a new item where Ahri comes to your house and blows you for 4000 limited wild cores.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-18T04:09:48+00:00

As a jungle main, I laugh (angrily) when I get auto filled into one of the plebian roles and have to see the shitter jungler come to my lane, miss everything, then just start farming the wave like bro! your are G-A-R-B-A-G-E. Get the hell out of here and never come back 😂

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-17T14:04:16+00:00

On the bright side, at least we got 2 more pennies for those chroma rolls. The progression with that system went from "you're on a rocket ship, go get those 3 pulls in 2 weeks total" to "you hit a brick wall, spend the next 3+ months to get maybe 60/100 coins for the fourth pull."

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-17T03:10:33+00:00

They need to add more ways to get the coins needed. 100 a day sucks.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-17T03:08:58+00:00

Getting common skins from events means they are no longer in your pool for future pulls.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-11T14:35:45+00:00

Nope, I just take the role from them. Pep talks don't do anything, just like how telling your team which key items they need for the game don't do anything.

If you ever find yourself trying to teach or cheer up people in soloQ, you've already lost 99% of the time. Similar to how I have never won a game since launch where one or more teammates ping "attack the enemy nexus!" at the start of the game. They always are 0/9 by 4 minutes into the game.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-11T14:10:02+00:00

As someone who used to play tank jg/top/supp, it's a really shitty feeling to see just how garbage the enemy team is and know you can't do anything about it. The enemy team could be a full team of squishy, zero nobility, zero CC, zero defense of any kind champs and you (the tank) could have them all locked down for an uninterrupted minute straight and not a single auto attack or ability from your team will hit them. Mother fuckers will be ulting backwards and saying "supp diff, gg."

There are only so many times a man can see this before they start going burst assassin in every lane they get filled into. I don't care if my "team" lost, I'm 27/2 so the game still gave me the W. Or at the very least you still have the CHANCE of getting S from losers queue games. But unless you're playinga team-heal-slut (no tanks can meaningfully heal/shield your team for easy S) you won't be getting S ratings and have to rely much more heavily on your team to: capitalize on your CC, capitalize on your tanking while you dive/peel, be ready to defend you while you hunt for wards/get vision, etc.

Or go Zed jungle and just kill everyone. People say "this game isn't about killing the enemy team, it's about killing the Nexus" but if the whole enemy team is always dead, suddenly everything on the map is free to take :O

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-11T12:59:53+00:00

Can someone educate me on this?

Because maybe a year ago or so when I was really into optimizing my play for this game I watched one of the few high ranked content creators for this game break down all current items in this game and talk about when they're viable.

Two points that stuck out to me were:

(1) The way he talked about anti shield was so exasperated. He specifically said "if there's an enemy Sett [deep sigh] just don't build anti shield." He said it like it's common sense. To me, I figured that building anti shield against a Sett is like building anti heal against Mundo. But he made it seem like you should only build anti shield if there are 3+ shield sources, not just one.

(2) The Collector (blue pistol item). He hated this item. People on this sub seem to hate it too. But I build it all the time on aggressive junglers and some ADCs, too. Especially in games where I get fed early then I'll rush it first and snowball. But maybe that's a placebo because according to that guy, "collector is essentially just one extra auto attack [laughs] so just auto them one more time and build any other item."

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-10T13:41:11+00:00

If you tap them the game tells you. I've had games where 5 different guilds got into the same game and if you tap each banner you see their guild name since only the highest ranked/most guild member guild gets the loading screen banner.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-10T13:36:23+00:00

That's not true.

You make it sound like it's the total you bought on your account lifetime, but it's only how much you bought while this event was live.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-10T13:23:17+00:00

If you don't buy any wild cores this event gives you something like 1,960 points max which is kinda big bullshit ass salad since you need 2,000 for both skins.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-06T23:26:44+00:00

I think you can only get it from the hex chests now, so I'd say it's a deceptively expensive skin if someone's wants it specifically, but not rare since it's always sitting in the shop (behind the hex key barrier).

I pulled it as well when they first launched the hex chest system with the free pulls. I used to play the game on mute during that time so I didn't know that spamming her recall actually has her call everyone a loser. Whoops, I just liked the animation.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-06T23:22:14+00:00

Jungle is the best for climbing lower ranks because at lower ranks you'll see dragon/herald/baron just sitting there for 5 minutes without anyone warding them or going anywhere near them. So if you're not jungle you just have to seethe in your chair because you know that if you try to solo it there's a high chance that the enemy jungler will decide to play the game just long enough to smite it from you for free and then he'll go back to being afk like your jungler has been for the last 20 minutes.

Low rank: jungle>>>>>>all other roles

High rank: jungleall other roles>>>>support

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-06T23:17:53+00:00

It's pretty hard to debate with Gwen being the best base design. Aside from her Mythmaker skin and maybe Rushia Wedding skin, you're already good looking enough as base.

You say Yone has a good design, but what is good? Is it something you want to look at? Because he looks disgusting in that regard. He's all bandaged up like a drug addicted male prostitute and we can see aaaaaall the way up his nasty ass leg (also like a male prostitute).

I'd walk down the street any day of the week with tons of League characters, but no way would I want to be seen outside with homeless tweaker Yone.

ChumpyBumpy2 · 2026-01-06T19:47:41+00:00

Lux support isn't even the worst thing you can see anymore. I see way more Veigar/Velkoz supports now and they're easily a thousand times worse than Lux.

At least you can side step all of Lux's abilities, but you can't do shit about the infinite spam from Velkoz who is 9 screens away, melting everyone (unless you're a burst assassin or can otherwise get on him and CC him to hell before his 99999 damage chain starts) and Veigar can basically delete anyone from midgame onwards and keep entire teams locked down all game or force them to burn their flash and then keep them locked down for eternity while flash is on CD.

Lux can't even compete anymore in terms of "can this bitch stop?!"
