League of Legends Thread XV - aww lookit the cute little BLARGHARGH

[Suikama]

Aphro and Doublelift get stunned

Link ults Aphro

[Raikaria]

The thing about Triforce/PD/BotRK Vayne is sure you attack fast and get Silver Bolts.

But you don't actually hit that hard. Triforce procs don't proc off Final Hour; it's base AD.

And the thing about having Lee Sin and Zilean is even if you count someone twice; it's still a 4v5 lategame.

CLG might actually be going out. Here's hoping they ban a certain broken champion who's been wrecking them Game 3. [*coughOriannacough*]

Zuna and others on the analyst panel are calling out Doublelift's Trifiorce too.

[Mr. Sacchi]

When all else fails; protect the DoubleVayne.

AND THEN ORIANNA IS BEING BALANCED AGAIN [And Links ults Nami > Doublelift]

Also Doublelift mechanics: flash into Lucian's Q.

AND THEN ORIANNA BEING BALANCED AGAIN AT BARON.

Could you please stop.

We all know that Orianna can win teamfights by herself when she has perfect farm and deal tons of damage you don't need to remind us of that.

But, as we stated before, Orianna in LCS is a completely different champion than Orianna in Solo Q.

[hyorinryu]

Aphro and Doublelift get stunned

Link ults Aphro

When they said CLG should stop focusing on Dlift so much, I think he misunderstood.

[Suikama]

i cant believe how fucking good bunny is at thresh

why did clg not ban this character

[Raikaria]

BunnyGodFu.

Edit: And then Seraph suicides

[theshirn]

I just watched it like six times in a row

it's literally the best pro play I've ever seen

dlift uses all three escape/peel moves and bunnyfufu just gives exactly zero shits

[Suikama]

R - GNAR!
NEW
COME ON AND SLAM

E - Heroic Charge
NEW
AND WELCOME TO THE SLAM

E - Condemn
IT'S TIME TO SLAM JAM

dammit riot


also the clg runback

[Mr. Sacchi]

Y'know, thinking on it, ulting a Vayne as J4 is going to be absolutely stupid now.

Like, not only can Vayne tumble over your wall, she can pin you to it, you're pretty much dealing some extra damage to her while giving her more damage and a 1.5 second stun. So only if you can kill her pretty quickly or on a teamfight.

[Suikama]

wat

_#RIGGED

[theshirn]

this is the goddamn best

[Suikama]

rip soloqueue

[Mr. Sacchi]

I suggest everyone to not do solo queue for the next few days,  I have a feeling Hecarim Mid is going to be a thing.

@edit: choo choo i'm a train

goddammit suikama

[Aba Matindesu!]

link with the 3000 elo shockwaves

They're finally doing a proper CLG. Get Seraph fed and keep Link at least even so both can protect Doublelift even better. It's genius.

also rip yoloq

[Suikama]

so once again curse loses 3-0 after being up 2-0

the curse curse is eternal

[Aba Matindesu!]

forever kt

on the plus side CA's a shoo-in for the expansion tourney

was getting pretty close to posting this myself

[Raikaria]

Seriously? I go to sleep with them 2-0 up and of course it turns into a 2-3. Why does this keep happening?

Also I missed Hecarim mid. Can someone fill me in? AP Pony?

[Garlyle]

recent results are great yo

Game #5.

EDIT: Okay turns out the VOD isn't uploaded at the exact moment I posted this so here

[Raikaria]

Considering how the rest of his team did that dosen't seem too awful.

Also if Orianna was banned in Game 5 that's a 100% pick/ban rate in the series for Orianna and a 100% win rate.

[Garlyle]

I've formed a ranked team for twisted treeline with friends

gold bronze v here we come

I still need to, at some point, make a ranked team with friends where the goal is to have your team play ultimate bravery every game. And then see how far we come.


Unrelatedly, the new shurima champion lore is in the game. Which is, um, yeah... What? I mean, I get that they want to change the lore, but I would expect them to replace the old one with new one, rather just ripping away the old lore and leaving a gaping blank space where they may add new stuff later...

[Mr. Sacchi]

I'm pretty sure that Riot said that, within the client, the lore of every champion is gonna be as bare bones as possible, and that the actual lore will only be posted in the website.

[Iryan]

I'm pretty sure that Riot said that, within the client, the lore of every champion is gonna be as bare bones as possible, and that the actual lore will only be posted in the website.

Even then I see no reason to remove 95% of the lore from the client tab, they might as well remove the "Lore" tab from the champion description alltogether and replace it with a button that immediately opens a webpage on the champs lore. I mean, for stuff like the Feats of Braum or whatever, it might be impractical to have that in the client, yeah. That doesn't mean that they should replace Braum's client lore with "Braum is a former goat herder from the Freljord who strives to help all in need. He once found an indestructable door that he now uses as a shield." or something.

I just see no reason to remove the lore from the client at all. Especially if there is nothing within the client indicating that there is more, much less a link to the rest...

[Mr. Sacchi]

I think it's part of their little crusade to completely separate League of Legends Lore from League of Legends The Game.

Which I frankly don't agree AT ALL with but not much you can do.

[Iryan]

Apparently Xerath is the Viktor to Azir's Jayce. Also Nasus's sweet voice does not prevent me from thinking that the narration is kinda lame. Oh well. I guess I really shouldn't care about LoL lore.


This gamemode though... is a thing...

I kinda don't like how random it can be WHO gets the ascension buff since you will usually have at least one person of each team trying to get the killing blow, but aside from that, seems fun enough.  :3

[Raikaria]

I stole Xerath Buff

As Karma

TWICE

My jungleing skills have never been more relevant in a featured game mode.

i'm pretty sure they want to separate it because a MOBA isn't really good for telling stories in, but they have a lot of good characters and a decent universe to tell stories with

the separation means that they can focus on the MOBA as a MOBA entirely and expand the lore in other places instead

small reminder that riot is a steadily growing company with a lot of people from many varying disciplines

small reminder that the company name is "riot gameS" with an s as in they aren't limited to just making league

[Mr. Sacchi]

I understand where Riot is coming from ryuu, don't get me wrong, I just don't agree with it. Game Lore should be a part of the game itself - not separate from it. And if it's not in the game (which is the part of league that really matters) then the lore might as well not exist.

That's my take on it though, feel free to disagree.

Also, what are you implying.

True. I'm just still salty about Warwick/Soraka and Trundle Lore Changes.

That's my take on it though, feel free to disagree.

It's not a bad idea, but it limits what kind of stories they can tell. I mean as it is now, effectively nothing really big can happen because summonersop. What I think would be a bad idea is if they make the out of game lore required to understand what going on in the game, but I don't think we'll have to worry about that.
