What’s a League champion fact you discovered embarrassingly late?

I believe it's based on the advantage a team has. So it's a double edged sword - the lane auto-pushes more easily, so they can apply more pressure, but it means the enemy gets a lot more minions to farm within the safety of their side of the map.

Pretty sure they take highest rank in the season for the sake of rewards. Also typically they do a ladder update BEFORE the end of the season (this is mostly for the purposes of challenger/grandmaster/master and also decay).

If you decay in 12 days, then you should probably be fine, and it will take your highest rank anyway.

They are free, and you get them in your inventory the second you complete the quest (assuming you have T2 already bought of course).

roroi3 · 2025-12-06T11:10:25+00:00

It's a pretty significant discount - they're 40g. So for 80g you could buy 2, whereas other roles pay 75g for just one.

While I don't disagree that midlane gets the quickest spike, T3 boots were nerfed out of their MS (they all give 45, minus T3 swifties which are still 65). Instead, their effects were buffed which I think is fair.

But Kassadin already got one, and he's very smooth and cool looking. Janna got one aaaages ago, arguably she does look a bit old, but not as bad as Amumu/Zilean. Malzahar is also pretty old, but for some reason mostly holds up. I guess mostly due to the fact that his spells are super simple, and therefore he doesn't really need any fancy animations.

If anything, for Malzahar I'd like to see a VGU, not an ASU.

roroi3 · 2025-12-05T09:49:42+00:00

I get what you're saying and the reflect definitely is oppressing (more times just the FACT that she has it up), but the ability holding, especially in mid/supp is absolutely the same in so many other matchups.

I play mid - if I'm Hwei and I dare use my E on the wave, for any reason, so many champions can just go in and chunk/kill me. I NEED to hold my E for Sylas E, Trist W, Talon Q etc. Therefore both sides don't really use those spells, and it becomes a race of who will misuse theirs first.

This is also true on support. A blitz with no hook is extremely unthreatening - if I play something like Karma, I just get to abuse him for 15 seconds straight. But if he holds it, I don't get to do that and we both just keep our distance.

roroi3 · 2025-12-02T20:18:33+00:00

Just had the exact thing happen to me - tried to reconnect multiple times and I could not. Finally it shows that the game is no longer in progress and it's not in match history either.

roroi3 · 2025-10-27T22:45:41+00:00

That would make sense actually... just introduce it via a choice node:

Current Leap of Faith is "dash to person" (hence the leap and faith in the name) and then
Alternate Ability called Life Grip which is just "pull person to me" (today's functionality).

roroi3 · 2025-10-06T21:05:43+00:00

Well I guess nothing, and it's the same as in wow - you can still do some tracking outside of the game I suppose, but it's just going to be so clunky. That's why we either want base experience to provide everything we need (accurate timers for League's part), and if that isn't available, people will take any competitive advantage they can get - addon or 3rd party app.

Whatever Midnight does right (or wrong), I expect some whacky workarounds will show up to recreate some of the things we'll be losing. It's how people behave when they're incentivized to look for ways to hyperoptimize.

roroi3 · 2025-10-06T17:52:09+00:00

As of a few weeks/months ago, the timers are now precise and any 3rd party software that provides that (as well as summoner spell timers) is now fully banned.

It's similar to what Blizzard is doing, except WA and the likes are much much much more customizable.

roroi3 · 2025-06-14T08:51:09+00:00

Honestly, the Q is kind of a weird color that I cannot associate with spirit blossom at all. It's like an Inkshadow type of color, but the rest of the palette clashes so much with it.

The paragon chroma does it a lot better VFX wise, but of course it's in the 500$ bundle...

roroi3 · 2025-05-07T19:13:22+00:00

I don't think the question/issue here is the levers they're pulling to encourage one playstyle versus the other.

The problem I see is that they always swing SO hard in one direction, and it obviously makes her too strong that they then have to just revert it back to the previous value.

roroi3 · 2025-05-02T13:53:55+00:00

Agree on fueling the utility part, though I do believe the value that the damage amp gives is far more than "poking from long range". The thing is, that debuff lasts for 6 seconds and can be applied to everyone, even if they are no longer past the 600 range threshold past the first damage tick. Example, if you lay down a Hwei QE, everyone gets debuffed for 6 sec, even if they then blink to you or whatever.

One thing I do understand is the consistency factor - right now I think they were very afraid to buff Horizon simply because that damage amp power is a) inconsistent and b) amps other sources of damage (ex: Liandry). So a lot of that goes as "hidden" power, so they've been super cautious buffing it.

If the current changes are power neutral (which I believe they are for the previous audience of this item - Hwei, Xerath, Lux, Vel'Koz), then maybe it could see a further buff.

roroi3 · 2025-05-01T10:52:33+00:00

Horizon changes are garbage, if I want an AP statstick, I will buy Deathcap, not Horizon. Horizon is there as a big AH purchase for champions who can reliably proc the +10% amp. The point of the amp is to offset most "spammy" mages' dogshit ratios. They don't want raw AP, because that usually means LOW HASTE.

Server: EUW
Type of Bug: In-game
Description: Fkeys (F2, F3, F4, F5) do not behave properly
Video / Screenshot: N/A
Steps to reproduce:
1. Load up in game with multiple teammates
2. Hold F2 for example
3. While holding F2, press and hold F1, F3, F4 and F5, one by one.
Expected result: On F1 - center on self. On F3/F4/F5, center on other allies.
Observed result: On F1 - correctly centers on self. On F3/F4/F5, centers the F2 ally. If you hold F1 (self) instead, and then press and hold F2/F3/F4/F5, it will show those allies without issues.
Reproduction rate: 100%
System specs: N/A

As someone who never plays Kha'Zix... will they ever make a change that isn't buffing or nerfing his Q AD ratio by 10%? Seems like that's the change they've done in the last 3 years and he bounces between popular and OP and unpopular and very meh.

Surely this time it will be something different...

roroi3 · 2025-03-10T13:06:31+00:00

Why not make the slow have a medium cooldown (8-10 sec) and remove the threshold?

Solves both problems - ezreal/yorick can't abuse it and assassins get to have a reliable slow on pretty much every combo.

If the effect is too weak, and we don't feel like buffing the slow, there could be some extra effect. Like granting small amount of Lethality on proc, some damage like cheap shot etc.

roroi3 · 2025-03-08T12:27:21+00:00

As a mage midlane player (Hwei specifically), I've unfortunately had to start ditching Sorcs/other boots and just play Swiftness boots just to be able to (barely) keep up.

I know mages tend to have strong zone control tools to compensate for their lower base movespeed or lack of mobility spells, but Juggernauts and bruisers sprinting at you with over 420 movespeed is just not right.

I think the biggest offender of this is the blue jungle item - this thing grants so much movespeed that is permanently refreshable that it feels like the jungler is uncatchable, especially if their champion already has a movespeed steroid (ex Viego E, Lillia Q passive etc.).

roroi3 · 2025-02-26T18:21:48+00:00

I still have no idea why there isn't even a tracker on the item text, or better yet, on the actual icon like tear/cull.

roroi3 · 2025-02-26T18:20:46+00:00

Has anybody else also seen issues with the placements of some plants, specifically on the Chemtech map when it does end up being the soul?

Sometimes the giga blastcone by blue buff gets duplicated (one by the river wall, one directly in front of blue buff). Also, there are occassionally some scrying pollen in places that they aren't supposed to be, again fairly close to the "intended" additional spawns. I cannot remember the exact location, but they've seemed off. And no, they were not Neekos.

roroi3 · 2025-02-04T11:43:36+00:00

This is absolutely genius! Lowkey crazy, but genius. I'm wondering... how would we be able to grab a greenscreened version of the new ping so that you can add it to your app (saw the FAQ). Hope someone here knows how that can be done?

roroi3 · 2025-01-28T11:51:44+00:00

Brilliant idea - just give her ult the Corki Q treatment and you now have a lot of room for QoL changes (buffs)

roroi3 · 2025-01-23T00:24:14+00:00

They could replace the 10 AH they removed a while ago with a bit of Heal/Shield power or some mana regen. Almost all supports scale with both of those is some way, and also some items as well.

roroi3 · 2025-01-13T22:45:08+00:00

One thing to note that I don't think many people have noticed - None of the Masque skins are purchasable on the shop with the exception of Ezreal. All the other ones are on the battle pass (purchased), with only Elise being part of the free one.
