League of Legends Thread XIV - Rebel Without A Vel'Koz

[Garlyle]

Summoners,

With the introduction of Ultra Rapid Fire mode and our ultra rapid game pacing, the summoner spell Revive was (ironically) killing other summoner spells as the best ultra rapid fire choice of all. Ultimately, for the good of League of Legends and its ultra rapid fire future, we've decided that disabling Revive was the best decision to accelerate your end game fantasies.

No more Telerevive for you

Spoiler though: Guardian Angel is like a 1 minute cooldown 8D

I was 1v3ing their team regularly


EDIT: All of the Pro URF games from around the world are listed here

[Raikaria]

Well Revive was supposed to be removed months ago from SR.

[Yookie]

I wonder if the cake guy from the first game (I think) will become a thing. Like the redshirt guy. :V

And Taric is really silly in URF mode.

[Cadmas]

I thought it was removed, but even so with the right team those revives don't amount to much if you just run back out and blow up instantly.

[Mr. Sacchi]

I have decided to let Karma carry me into Gold.

Of course, being a Bronze I game I can't say anything about it since the entire enemy team was absolutely terrible and had less kills than us despite being ridiculously ahead and we being short Olaf.

And Corki raging.

But Nidalee and Garen picked up the slack along with me and we managed to win because they were absolutely horrible.

My only death was when their entire team ambushed us at top lane after picking out Renekton, I was right behind Garen but as soon as the enemy team appeared he bailed and I got bursted by Orianna, but a win's a win. Also, the merc threads were once CDR Boots, I just changed them because of blue elixir giving me max cdr already and needing the tenacity.

Now on to play another 684769516874 games as Karma and not do nearly as well.

Also, isn't it lovely when people don't listen to you? Nidalee calls MIA twice, Orianna roams down bottom, dragon's warded so I can see it, I ping for Corki to GTFO because we're pushed to their turret, he only starts backing off ONCE ORIANNA GETS INTO LANE AND USES HER ENTIRE COMBO ON HIM and I have to pop everything short of flash to save him.

God damn.

@e

KARMA IS CONFIRMED OP

This team was beautiful this Jinx was beautiful everything in the history of ever was beautiful we stomped bottom lane it was beautiful holy shit.

URF mode adventures day 1

[Garlyle]

>Me: "Ban Sona"
>Captain: "wtf would I ban Sona"
>Proceed to go Sona and hypercarry the hell out of the game, even outassassinating the Leblanc

Syndra's ability to reduce gravity is confirmed for definitely making it easy to carry though.  She just eats people like holy shit.  A Nocturne jumped on me at one point when I was at <100 HP; I hit Barrier -> Q -> E -> R and he was gone.

Also no, Nidalee isn't really that great in the long run; but constant spear barrage and heals make it an extremely dangerous and rather unfun lane.  Much like how Teemo didn't actually get much of a power spike from URF but does have permablind and shrooms for miles, which are major irritants, some people just don't like dealing with it.

Pretty much. Just like how Kog is not nearly as good as you might expect, since his artillery spam is far too short ranged in this high-mobility mode until your R is rank 3, and sometimes you won't even get to that point. Plus anyone with mobility will jump on to you and melt you.

As for things that were suprisingly effective: Warwick. The enemy one built gunblade, Spirit Visage, and other things and ended up so tanky and with so much self-heal that you could not kill him without perma-cc, his ult could take out one of the squishy artillery targets instantly every teamfight, and his aoe AS buff wreaks havoc due to it being doubly effective on his ranged allies.  :V

Oh no, she's not that great. She just throws spears as fast as most autoattack which twoshot, is almost completely uncatchable unless you're Maokai or Hecarim, heals her entire team to full in 10 seconds and has a spammable AoE and Excecute. She also has a permamaent pretty large AS boost in her human form, is is ranged, so she even pushes like Yi.

Don't kid yourself. Nidalee is easily top 10 or top 5 in absurdity, and EFFORTLESSLY number 1 in terms of poke.

And then you get the smart ones who give their As steroids to other ranged characters, who proceed to hit 2.5 AS.

[Cadmas]

The key is not ever letting her poke. Mobile champs just run her over even in lane. URF is full of teleporting and split pushing and nidalee can't duel most of the champs when they have no CDs.

Most of the danger comes when entire teams picks nothing but pokers.

Same thing with all the luxs im seeing. Dangerous in a poke comp, dinner in anything else.

[Aba Matindesu!]

I dunno, the one time I tried Syndra I had to go against Jarvan mid (oh, how I miss S2) and he flagdragged me all day :|

[Raikaria]

Oh yeah Lux is dinner because she's immobile.

Nidalee is not.

Edit:

Suddenly; Twitch VU.

Sneaky Sneaky~

[Schezo]

Twitch is my favorite hyper carry to play even though I'm god awful with him. This is exciting.

[Raikaria]

So I played Viktor in U.R.F

The evolution of LoL? More like the GLORIOUS EVOLUTION!



I almost got the Pentakill too, but Tristana literally sold all of her items for AP just to jump off the fountain and burst me, catching me off-guard because she was AD before, before I could finish her.

What a scumbag move. How oftenn do you see a VIKTOR Pentakill?

[Widermelonz]

10 champions objectively better than Nid in URF: Hecarim, Sona, Soraka, Malzahar, Lulu, Zyra, Kayle, Lux, Jayce, Urgot.

Nid seemed really good in the first few games of URF, but after you figure it out she's that strong anymore. She's pretty much outclassed by someone like Lux in a lot ways. The only thing Nid's got going for her is her pounce for mobility, but any decent assassin type in URF can catch her no problem. For everything else it looks like Lux can do better.

[Aba Matindesu!]

All these glorious changes, I can't ლ(?ڡ`ლ)

I like the new exhaust more personally

Double exhaust wreck bot incoming.

Irelia is better because of it btw.

[Raikaria]

10 champions objectively better than Nid in URF: Hecarim, Sona, Soraka, Malzahar, Lulu, Zyra, Kayle, Lux, Jayce, Urgot.

Malazahar is short ranged and most of his damage is DoT. He isn't mobile. He'll be better after the crab AI patch, but he's certainly not better than Nidalee. Sure AD Malz splitpushes like a boss with with the cooldown on teleport and his lack of mobility he'll be suicideing to do so most of the time.

Lulu is basically a shorter range much lower damage Nidalee with more C.C in this mode, but she'll get blown up in most cases before she can spam Poly. Also Glitterlance is a lot less impactful when everyone has dashes every 2 seconds.

Kayle's ranges are too short and even with Intervention's cooldown it's not that good. Especially as any C.C at all messes her up, and again, short range.

Lux is worse than Nidalee. Nidalee is hard to catch and kill. Lux is not.

Jayce is basically a less mobile AD Nidalee without a massive heal.

Nidalee is complete hell to play against at every phase of the game and is really, really hard to take down outside of targeted, homing C.C like Twisted Advance. You cannot underestimate her Primal Surge either, she wins battles of attrition with ANYONE. [Except Sona]

Zyra's too hard to compare so I went benefit of the doubt there, and the others probobly are better [Urgot Charge = Dead, Blenderrim and walking fountains]

Now excuse me while I spam Super Galaxy Rumble.

[Cadmas]

Seems like every patch from here on out will be riot nerfing leona's Eclipse.

[Iryan]

I don't like the Lulu changes... Why would they cut down on the base damage of higher ranks of pix as a measure against lane-bullying when AP lulu doesn't max pix first? Just seems like a random nerf. While the pix follow duration makes sense as a nerf to that pattern, it affects support lulu exactly the same way, and support lulu tends to get max cdr sooner than mid, and the utility of keeping vision of the enemy (in particular if it is someone like vayne) was always important utility that is now weakened...

Granted, aside from reducing AP ratios on damage (which are already not that amazing on AP lulu to begin with) I am not sure how to make changes that would affect mid-lulu stronger than support lulu... hrm...

[Raikaria]

I don't like the Lulu changes... Why would they cut down on the base damage of higher ranks of pix as a measure against lane-bullying when AP lulu doesn't max pix first? Just seems like a random nerf.

Because they are flat-out lying when they say they 'like' AP Mid Lulu. She already has a pretty weak lategame, let's make her offense late even weaker!

Also Support Lulu in a defensive lane sometimes maxes her Sheild first, so it hurts that when she's useing it for aggro [Or a longer range slow]

They also took away her ability to sheild a creep to mess up lasthitting or tank tower shots while pushing.

[Iryan]

Oh right, that too. No more E-Q-reverse-last-hitting (in soviet Valoran, creep last-hits you!).

Overall... why? And what would an appropriate Lulu change even look like? Is AP-mid Lulu even too strong? It seems to me like it is annoying to play against but not overpowered, and that description fits plenty other champs like Teemo and Nidalee... am I wrong?  :wat:

[triangles]

Got to play some URF mode.
Made the other team super mad by MJP and I playing Teemo and Nami I call that a success  :V

Twin Shadows is super amazing in URF now with the return ghost changes - if you don't find a dude and the ghosts come back, it's already off cooldown pretty much.  No more stealth jungle ambushes!
