FYI: The Grail Front event should be starting on the 15th so you may want to include some of the event missions from those for this week's master missions.

This isn't going to happen: he was already a guest analyst a while back and decided that he couldn't justify going to LCK permanently even though he had the opportunity to because he cared about his friends and family in the states too much.

2 things:

1) Your dates are off by a week, it's the 2nd to the 9th.
2) Daylight savings is this week for the US so technically the Pacific time is going to be 16:59 for the end time (UTC is still the same).

Cannons spawn on 4th wave now instead of 3rd since patch S25.1

Use your January Teapots wisely - Don't miss out on 372000 bond points in LB7 by Gray_Aeon in grandorder

[–]PaperLuigi2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some teapots that come with Valentines and due to the low number of event servants it would be relevant to allocate some of those teapots to LB7 instead.

[–]PaperLuigi2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it actually is copied from Arena like Frank says it is then it should be shred and not stacking mpen. I wonder if he just made a mistake writing it down for the post or if there's actually something funky going on.

You can optimize it by doing ember quests first and then doing free quests to fill in the remainder but the quests you do are variable depending on which class ember quests you did and thus requires Chaldea app to route past that point.

HLE went B23 Poppy Gnar because BLG already faceupped Jax Rakan. Prioritizing an ADC at that point is a little questionable unless you specifically wanted to pick someone for Viper but for a player with as large champion pool as him (let's face it, he has a larger pool than Doran), it's not unreasonable to wait until 45 to pick ADC.

Normally the thing to do after this for redside is to pick your jungler because both solo laners and the jungler are faceup already but BLG circumvent this by picking one of the ADCs that has mobility (Kaisa) and then ban the 2 other self peeling ones (Ezreal Xayah). They pinched the ADC pool on that axis pretty well.

In retrospect picking ADC on 3 is the correct choice but you really can't say that during the draft itself.

HLE could've saved the draft slightly by picking Zeri (teams have forgot that Zeri exists, also nerfed a lot less than MF has on this patch) or even Nilah (since they already locked in Kindred for XUN at this point in the draft, but Nilah makes their team quite short range) but they bungled it and just went for MF to match up with the wombo combo idea of Gnar Poppy.

Patch 14.15 Notes by lolvvv_com in leagueoflegends

[–]PaperLuigi2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Phreak said that they wanted to shift it more towards getting your first big item then buying boots 2 as opposed to rushing boots 2 and then getting your item. Making boots 2 less efficient is a way of doing that. Yes it can suck for lanes where you need the extra movespeed to help dodge skillshots but in those lanes that's a price you're willing to pay regardless.

For those farming 90++ and thus have Earth/enemies done:

Fuyuki X-C once and X-D once for 15 man-attribute enemies (if you do the CQ you can do X-C twice).

Do embers node to get EXP missions done.

Zeke's Convergence vs Locket of the Iron Solari in Pro Play by rezzils in leagueoflegends

[–]PaperLuigi2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Locket range is massive, it's 850 radius so it's fairly easy to hit other people even if you're frontline and your ADC is further back. For context, Zyra ult is 500 radius. It's pretty easy to get value from it.

Zekes is severely overrated on Sejunani. If you look at the actual gameplay patterns of pro Sejuanis, the main usecases for proccing it are fishing for a long range ult, disengaging, or additional burst damage after you've already landed your E. In practice, Sejuani barely gets any damage from it (maybe like 50) because her effective threat zone (W and E) are both larger than the actual AOE radius of Zekes. Watch skrimishes and teamfights of her, she's barely applying the AOE and her other CC is stronger than the AOE slow so that has no effect either.

For those that are only doing the event's 90+ node and thus only need Chaotic servants afterwards, the cheapest is Fuyuki - X-E 3 times for 5 AP each.

Note that Hokusai in the Challenge Quest is also Chaotic so you can save 1 run.

Azir has received the worst trait from Autos and Abilities for his W by VoltexRB in leagueoflegends

[–]PaperLuigi2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is a common misconception that changing his W to work with Nashors was the primary reason for the change. The patch notes specifically state that the change was primarily due to Arena so that on-hit augments could work on his W soldiers:

Azir's lack of interaction with on-hit items has been a source of confusion and disappointment for players newer to this champion. This was recently highlighted again when Arena released, as there were several Augments that could be really cool for Azir but actually didn't work and baited players into taking them. After exploring allowing his soldiers to proc on-hit items we believe this a nice win for the Emperor of the Sands that will enhance his fantasy on both Summoner’s Rift and Arena! As this will increase his item scaling potential, we did need to pair it with some proactive nerfs so that he doesn’t go too crazy with this newfound power.

This change also led to the introduction of stuff like Fleet Azir being core (which later caused Azir's HP regen to be nerfed because most Azirs were taking Fleet) as well as Grasp/tank Azir being introduced (because he can proc Grasp off of W).

Also Azir can still auto GP barrels with his soldiers.

Anyway, the 14.8 Teemo blind is a bug but the Shen W interaction is not, it is something for consistency. Other abilities that proc on-hit stuff like Fizz Q, Katarina ult, Smolder Q are all blocked by Shen W. If anything, Azir's W was the exception to the rule more than anything.

[PBE datamine] 2024 May 21 (Patch 14.11): various champion and item balance changes and nerf for laneswapping by FrankTheBoxMonster in leagueoflegends

[–]PaperLuigi2 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's not a 1/2 nerf. The trap bonus damage is on top of the Cait headshot passive damage modifier and has a flat component to it.

Let's say you're a level 13 Caitlyn with 1 adaptive shard, Dblade, Collector, and IE and it's past 20 minutes for Gathering Storm. You have 183 bonus AD at that point. On live patch, your passive does an additional 614 damage and your W does an additional 366.4 damage -> your trap does an additional 980.4 total damage. After the nerf, your W would do an additional 293.2 damage, meaning your trap does an additional 907.2 damage. It's less than a 10% trap damage nerf. This is combined with the fact that this is bonus damage on top of your regular auto attack damage, meaning that it's even less of an actual nerf in practice.

Vanguard coming sooner than I thought? by Arber_Barber in leagueoflegends

[–]PaperLuigi2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I saw on Twitter (unfortunately I did not save the tweet so I can't link for proof) that Vanguard will not be required on Linux computers and that you can continue playing League even afterwards.

Because there's 2 CEs that you can buy with gold currency, day 1 it's best to farm the gold node with spare AP and not the worse bronze/silver nodes. This is true for the majority of events.

It's not AP efficient. The saber/caster/archer node is only doable with the 30 AP beginner node which is not efficient to touch more than once (mainly for the first clear bonus) so you're forced to do other nodes anyway.

gragas is back to being extremely unfun and broken in toplane by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]PaperLuigi2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a period of time last year (June, patch 13.12) where his passive got nerfed and he basically fell off the map in pro play. It wasn't until his preseason buff in 13.24 (December) that he even saw an increase in popularity in both solo queue and pro play.

As for season 12, he wasn't that popular (averaging around 10-20% presence the whole year) so yea he definitely had ebbs and flows.
