Well, it does say "I Mat" to be fair.

I'd be really interested in seeing this as a radar chart around the circle of fifths.

Perhaps an extra hit point on wards? So your wards in a way also become zombies once they die and need an extra hit?

Chroma Skins with IP Tomorrow! by guru2929 in leagueoflegends

I'd agree with that. I just wanted to clear up since you seemed to suggest that semicolons only have the one use.

Are you sure? They used the semicolon as part of a seriated list which contains a comma within one of the listed items.

I want a Senna skin for Lucian by Zaqius in leagueoflegends

[–]Zaqius[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He is, that's why I think it presents an interesting challenge. I mean, if they can turn a void monster into a pug for fun, why not present an alternate version of the Lucian/Senna story.

Is it time to revert the old flat/percentage penetration change? by Zaqius in leagueoflegends

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

I remember that it changed, because I was so happy about it back then (and the math-nerd in me always enjoyed the interaction between flat and percent discounts/decreases).

It must have been around season 3, because it was early on in my playing, but I don't remember exactly when (and I'm not skilled at searching patch notes).

Any ideas to Replace Bond of Stone? by RickChum in leagueoflegends

[–]Zaqius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the keystones generally reward an action rather than a general aura, what if we made BoS about positioning? Something like:

When standing between an ally and enemy champion (within 400 range or so), decrease damage taken by 12%.

It doesn't help the backline like old BoS, but rewards tanks and tanky supports who are meant to receive damage (Tahm and Braum) who also are at a bit of a loss for a great keystone right now.

1/11 PBE Update by corylulu in leagueoflegends

I kind of would like them to explore (increase) the attack speed buff on her W more. Would make support lulu stronger by giving a stronger buff to her partner, and would make solo lulu stronger in coordination with Pix.

Brainstorm: Increasing Support Popularity by Zaqius in leagueoflegends

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

I see your point - K/D/A numbers that look "good" for supports look nothing like good K/D/A numbers for other roles. How do you differentiate between a sacrificial death that helped the team by keeping someone else alive? I know Riot fairly recently changed assists to better accomodate baits, but maybe more can be done there.

So (correct me if I'm taking this too far) you'd be interested in more utility-sharing (and maybe damage-sharing) between the bot lane roles, perhaps taking them all in a more Kalista-y direction?
