It's been revealed and known about since this time last year at E3.

I'd say 12 months is enough time to do something.

I dunno I saw it and I instantly thought 'Splatoon'. Other people may think other things.

yeah but they had no idea if they game was going to be good or even popular until it came out

Raikaria · « **Reply #121 on:** June 17, 2015, 11:18:09 AM »

It's Nintendo. What do they do that isn't popular?

Anyway, that moment when you single-handedly win a game against Ekko as Lux by E'ing both Draven and Ekko and then taking both of them from 60% to 0 with a single R.

Especially cathartic since Ekko is so mobile and annoying to lane against.

I'm also pretty sure now that Ekko; while a massive pain to lane against especially as an immobile champion; is pretty underwhelming in a teamfight. Put simply his damage takes too long to apply and he's too soft to do it. Also he's pretty bad against really long ranged champions. I only died once to him in lane and that was because I got greedy and screwed up. [He got fed however in skirmishes and Thresh attempting to gank him once but failing epically; missing his hook only to get Chronobroken on...]

Most of these were still popular by normal standards; at least on release. They may be hated now [EG: Other M] but that didn't stop hype and initial popularity. Sure people might not say Brawl is as good as Melee but that dosen't mean Brawl wasn't insanely popular.

But this is getting off-topic.

I dunno. I've been contributeing using the RedditLFG chatrooms.

I was playing a game as Malphite Jungle.

Someone drophacked the game. I know it was a drophack because:
1: I disconnected while I could connect to everything else and even use the chatrooms.
2: Attempts to reconnect to the game just crashed instantly
3: The game vanished from match history.

A normal game.

Where the point is to amass points so everyone gets a free skin, and the enemy team were probobly a group of 5 too.

Scumbaggery knows no bounds.

Also this is after that big banwave.

Really, I remember people trashing most of these on release(Other M, Zeldas.) and people warming up to them later.

Also, we can get skins through normals now?

As far as I've seen, only about half of those are true. Brawl was only disliked by tourney 'whiners' (for lack of better word), because of tripping and because it Was Not Melee. I haven't seen anyone bothered by the kirby games - by nature they're supposed to be easy to play and cute. Sunshine was only unpopular on launch because it wasn't a Real Mario Game but people have been clammoring recently for an HD remake, so it can't be disliked that much. Don't know anyone who's complained about the Zelda games. There hasn't been a bad Zelda game since.... uhhh....
hmm...
The CDi ones, I guess, but we don't talk about those.

Where are you getting these facts?

I wish I had internet so I could play around with the pool party week.

yeah but just because a game has hype doesn't mean it will do well, and nintendo is no exception to this rule

so it wouldn't make sense for riot to start making parts of a skin based off of something that wasn't out yet and could have sucked

Ekko is pretty effective when he builds one or two offensive items, and then goes full tank. AP Bruiser rather than AP Assassin. Since he can reapply his passive after only 3 seconds, he's pretty well-suited to longer fights. (Also helps position his ult.)

I disagree. The first couple buffs have little to no effect on early game when nobody has any bonus AD or AP for the buff to raise signifigantly. Gold and XP is a straight buff to whoever kills the dragon, and has a more immediate effect, and can make the first dragon as important as an early tower kill

Dragon buffs only matter once you stack 3 or more (movespeed is a large buff), or when it's lategame and the buffs start really getting kicked into effect.

Moreover, dragon buff is only really most noticeable once you stack 5, as the fifth one is a huge buff.

Baron is a huge buff just on kill, though, but there's the downside that Baron is only easy to kill late in the game when death timers are high or when you already have a huge lead anyway.

Geez, is Raikaria still sticking to the Splatoon Reference thing? holy hell, Raikaria, Splatoon came out in the summer like the skins, but the only matching thing about them is the fact they're both squids. Her hat doesn't even look like any Splatoon characters. Come on.

In fact, now that I look at it again, there's not even a Squid Girl reference there. It's just a squid hat.

This is what I was meaning that speed bonus is a killer, add in now that every champ is a dashing aoe platform and things have gotten nuts.

I can hardly keep up in team fights anymore.

But mainly its that the bonuses just cant be farmed like money. You have to get those dragons or get fucked.

http://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/champions-gameplay-feedback/q2694bqE-513-core-ap-items-pass

Some big changes are coming for AP items. Most notable things are:

NLR costs 1250 and gives 60 AP

Zhonyas is 300 cheaper but gives 20 less AP [Net nerf considering Amp Tome cost]

Liandry's costs 100 more but gives 30 more AP; not making it an automatic noobtrap on champions not named Swain or Rumble. [Or Sejuani/Amumu I guess] Still a noobtrap on burst casters.

RoA gives slightly less HP but more Mana and AP.

RCS slows for more in general; but instant AoE's that are not DoT now apply a 40% slow just like single target. Suddenly Mordekaiser E applies a 40% slow. And his W/R apply 20%. Suddenly Mordekaiser became sticky if he's got a pal he can W who jumps in.

Void Staff is nerfed somewhat hard.

He eats the gambler and takes him to a faraway land.

LIFESTEALER IS THAT YOU?

[I don't mean he is lifestealer. I mean expect a similar mechanic. I actually think his ultimate might be like an AoE charm; seeing as he 'charms' the gambler and the princess.]

Thanks to Suikama and Homura(especially Suikama, he trucked though all four games with us,) we finally got those reward points.

I don't think our teams were the best either. As long as I've had you on my friend's list, I think this is the first time we were in the same game.

Well we unlocked everything but Mundo. Not bad. I can't wait till 6/26 because I really wanna buy the Zac chromas and that winter bundle because I want Poro Rider Sej skin real bad. I might even play those mages a bunch.

New champ is Tahm Kench, the peeler.

TL;DR
AA and Q apply stacks of Taste, at 3 stacks you get ~special stuff~

Q applies damage and slow. Stuns minions/monsters, and stuns champs if they have 3 stacks of Taste.
W eats the target. EATS IT. Devoured enemy takes %HP damage and has severely reduced vision. Enemy champs can only be eaten if they have 3 stacks of Taste and severely slow Tahm's movement speed. Allied champs can also be devoured and boost movement speed towards enemies. ULTIMATE PEEL. Enemies spit out do damage to targets they hit.
E is boring. Recovery % of HP lost after battle ends, or convert the same amount into a rapidly decaying shield. Effective, but still boring.
R is Wisp ult. Teleport to target location. Telegraphed. Devoured target travels along so you can devour your ADC, teleport mid and pick up a kill. Or you devour your ADC from base and teleport back into lane. GG. Also all your damage now scales off of max HP.

Tank Support/Top Lane intended role. Wouldn't be surprised to see people try him jungle. Ult passive makes Cinderhulk look like a great pickup on him.
