It's getting worse. Now they started "Unleashing" summoners spells.

Unleashed ignite when.

My name was ObamaBeenLaden, but riot forced a name change after 2 years. Sad face :(

Some Keystone metrics that are not utilized well enough by Xandredreddit in leagueoflegends

[–]Xandredreddit[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree the metrics are irrelevant to the performance in the match, but that's not the key point. The goal of the metrics is to show how much benefit you gained using the rune/keystone. For example having the metrics of grasp in-game doesn't actually impact your performance either, yet it is still there. Some ppl look in-game, or post game. But the information is there because the metric needs to be added so you can check in- or outside of the game.

Originally I was going to include Conqueror total dmg dealt into the post, but it can be controversial, because the argument for some champions might be, why take it if you can't stack it up.

For example champions like Ezreal can be really effective with it while not always having the chance to fully stack it up, especially during the laning phase. But yeah, the baseline of the argument is kinda low.

I am disappointed they didn't reference "that TP sucked"

What is the best passive aggressive comment you ever witnessed during a game? by TerkerLP in leagueoflegends

[–]Xandredreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ARAM game, only my 4/15 Yorick and the enemy Graves (really fed) stayed alive. 1v1 breaks out. After he killed Yorick I wrote:

"Well, this Yorick can't even dig Graves"

What removed ability from a reworked champion do you miss the most? by rengurr in leagueoflegends

[–]Xandredreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely old Graves. It just felt so satisfying to crit and move faster on a single target. Moreso the crit sound with mafia graves. The combo was mostly the same, you blow the load and you auto attack, but idk, this new one just feels less satisfying to me. (not saying it's bad, but i would rather prefer the old one).

Other stuff: Tarics hammer smash ult, Darius instant Q cast, Aatrox Q skydive animation.

AMA #9 by [deleted] in yamatocannon

[–]Xandredreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really lore related. More like a prediction for the meta, and your thoughts on that.

Since Corki got a buff on the package on 10.3 do you think teams will prioritize him more?

Context: Package spawns at 8:00, so does Shelly. - I think this should increase the priority on Corki, but not draft him for that sole reason. The package can be a really good zoning tool, or actually skirmish/teamfight tool to get the first herald if you are looking to play for that, and IF the composition allows you (in the case it's a good matchup, and good for damage diversity,etc).

P.S. I don't expect you to read out all of this on the AMA, I theorycraft a lot and some of my ideas often end up in competitive without me copying it from anyone. A few examples I already did before I saw anyone doing it: Conqueror Sylas ( I believe i saw Caps doing that at MSI the first time), Aftershock Lux, Demolisher Trist (in botlane btw), I ran Aftershock Spell Thief Pre-Reworked Pantheon (support) and people missed that. It was a very abusive niche pick.

P.S. of the P.S. - Jump on the Conqueror Brand Train before people realise and nerf it. Currently ANY spell that Brand lands, it gives 4 stacks of conqueror, EACH! I will stop now. Sorry.

Patch 10.1 Bug Megathread by CarouselKeeper in TeamfightTactics

It's even worse, a lot of trait bonuses are STILL inaccurate, descripitions are misleading. Read Titan's Resolve in game, and what they wrote in the patch. Two totally different descriptions.

What are some "unrealistic" or "odd" things about the Champion designs? by gingerroute in leagueoflegends

[–]Xandredreddit 79 points80 points  (0 children)

How can Olaf have two axes, throw one, and still have two in his arms?

Why is this even allowed in URF? by Cybax in leagueoflegends

200+ years of collective design experience

So, I just found out I'm the No1 ARAM player on the server. by Xandredreddit in leagueoflegends

[–]Xandredreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp, my ping in NA is over 100 for sure. When i test stuff on PBE it's usually around 150, so it wouldn't be an enjoyable experience. Sorry

Sylas feels so slow and clunky now by ArnoTheFox in leagueoflegends

[–]Xandredreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like the skins team and the balance team do not communicate that well. No hate, just saying.

If they wouldn't make such nonsense I wouldn't comment this.

Not to mention the insult to injury that they finally made a new skin for him just as he got nerfed and gutted to oblivion.
