You're not the first person I've heard of wanting to do tanky Veigar, precisely because he can still generate AP by using his Q consistently.  And yes, "what to build" is always the question.

Can somebody please tell me that the rumours about riot literally retconning pretty much the entire foundations of LoL Lore are false.

Because if true I might just lose interest in league altogether.

Not certain about how much they're retconning, but it looks like they're adding a couple lines to some champs to make them vaguely related to Shurima. Like Cassiopeia's curse that turned her into a snake is from a Shuriman tomb and Amumu woke up as a mummy in one.

No, the rumours don't really mention Shurima at all, they're saying things like the JoJ, the institute, the summonners and the League of Legends itself are no longer canon.

Like, I can't find a good source for this try as I might so can somebody tell me if this is fake or not.

Because I really really want it to be

@Edit

Yeah, the source was right under my nose, AKA Riot's own dev blog.

Welp.

Welp.

i haven't read the most recent thing they posted(so this post might be useless and stupid but i'm lazy), but what they previously said was that they don't want to be restricted to what they said in the JoJ and other sources of old lore as times were changing and the scope of what they could do and wanted to do were no longer the same as they were before

however they also said that as long as nothing in the JoJ is contradicted in the current canon, it's perfectly fine to consider it canon

tbh the separation between "then" and "now" seems more akin to pc-98 touhou to windows touhou rather than just "erase everything"

I'm still not completely certain how I feel about it.

I mean I completely understand its necessity - trying to forcibly justify what the actual game was with the world they wanted to build ultimately was a limiter, so they've made the choice to divorce the story from being beholden by the game.

Which I'm actually kind of okay with, but... the reality is, it's all up to what comes of it.

EDIT: For those who don't understand much about League Lore or why this is a big thing I've got a comment in here that's a little long but basically explains it.

...Actually I think I've reached my decision on the matter: I'm fine with it.

Realistically, even though I'm a lore fanatic of League, the Institute, Summoners, etc., has all basically amounted to nothing BUT an Excuse Plot.  It's not the institute I've ever given a shit about, it's the world and characters.

So yeah I'm cool with this, now to just hope Riot doesn't drop the ball.

Welp.

what even

And there goes our connection to the game's lore. On the plus side, summoners were essentially super smart and talented Mary Sues in lore, and I can't really reconcile this fact with most of the playerbase, so it's bittersweet.

I feel like pointing out that of the 15 players representing NA on starting rosters at Worlds; only 7 of those are actually from North America. LMQ is 5 Chinese players; and TSM has 2 from EU and 1 Korean.

That is depressing.

And it's blatantly targeted at the NA LCS.

I doubt it's just uproar about LMQ. It's also things like the NA LCS quickly approaching NA players being the minority.

Wait... if I understand it correctly, then the victorious ward skin will be awarded in S4 only for ranked TEAM games, and even then, not for reaching a certain rank, but for getting a certain amount of wins, yes?

Because I was thinking of buying a handful of cheap champs and then quickly grinding to silver within a week. Since I managed to reach silver 3 on NA (i.e. with a ping of 200), that should have been not a problem. But if the only tangible rewards are the border and the summoner icon which I wouldn't use anyways, that seems kind of like a waste. I mean, I could try to go for gold, and I think if I had enough time I would be able to get there on EUW, but... don't think I will get there in just 1~2 weeks...  :wat:

if you can play above bronze level in NA and get silver with 200 ping you're probably gold there with good ping.

And thus TSM will go out without facing a Korean team. Again. *Shot*

Also Gambit are against one of the stronger looking EU Challengers; SK Prime. We could actually not have Gambit in S5.

Although this does mean C9 will have to face Koreans I guess.

LMQ is in Fnatic's group. ALL will be against C9. SK is against TSM.

Rito did you match up NA and Eu on purpose?

And thus after CLG go to relegations 3-0 to Curse; they now face trial by Curse Acadamy.

This couldn't be better if it was written.

Although if CLG do lose and Curse Academy go into the LCS... who gets 4th place?

It might have something to do with Orianna wrecking teamfights and having a whole 3k item ahead. Against a champion that *should* wreck her.

AKA: Orianna being Orianna.

But seriously CLG's teamcomp is awful and they shouldn't be trying to teamfight Curse Academy yet they do. They needed to win lanes and they didn't.

===

They're playing the Doublelift interveiw again. I do love to hear that guy say 'maybe I'm the reason we suck' for once.

Also be honest: How many of you are waiting for a Saint Smite?

Ori's great, but I think it was more CLG grouping up and either whiffing their ults or blowing all their crap on Thresh. Also, Seraph got caught a lot.
