Screw Caitlyn. i was so happy when Garen killed her building, only for her to pop up in another one.

Riot has announced a brand new game!

Spoiler:

Raikaria · « **Reply #512 on:** April 01, 2013, 02:20:31 PM »

^ Slow.

Although I'm more intrigued in the countdown... what does it mean?

Also where is the Urf Skin?

P.S: LOLKing is DravenKing. Think that's bad? Go look at the Wiki.

Garlyle · « **Reply #513 on:** April 01, 2013, 02:47:24 PM »

crap I am slow augh

I just kinda glanced down the thread and didn't think I saw it being discussed oops

anyway uh the countdown might be for the actual announcement of the australian server since the final stage of CHEW is set in Australia, the only place without a league server presently that is in the game.

and oh my GOD the wiki ahahahaha

That and if you look at the HIRING NOW thing, there is [or was] a whole of of positions in Sydney.

I'm scared now. Astro Teemo is way more fun and addicting than I expected. Someone help me.

I'm using the music for my study music right now, haha.

Man does it feel good to hit max range Varus Ults, Varus Ults perfectly timed to hit a Strutting MF, Varus Ults timed and lead so it hits the foes who have just took a step after a Nautilus hook, hitting Fioras as they finish ulting, and generally landing every single Varus Ult prety much every time it's off cooldown.

It's just so SATISFYING every time you hit that Ult. Especially on a hapless Melee. Like Fiora.

It also feels good to have IE/Cutlass/Zerkers/Double Dagger at 19 mins, and IE/BotRK/LW/PD/Zerkers and a ton of gold in reserve at 33.

Smashy · « **Reply #517 on:** April 01, 2013, 11:30:43 PM »

Meanwhile, Smashy attempts to promote only to run into 600+ damage Kayle Qs at about 12 minutes and rambo Ezreal.

(ok, my Olaf game was bad but even then I would have been staring down a hella fed Wukong and I had no flash to escape J4 ult)

Raikaria · « **Reply #518 on:** April 02, 2013, 08:50:43 AM »

So, uh, was the countdown for anything but the end of CHEW?

Also who are you voting for all-stars?

NA:

Dyrus/Oddone/Nyjacky/Cop/Muffin

EU:
Darien/Diamond/Froggen+Alex Ich [Will alternate, because I want either/or and they have totally different strengths]/Hosan/EDWard

Yes, I actually think Hosan is the best mechanics ADC in EU, even if Dragonborns isn't doing great, he won't be playing in DragonBorns.

Also both times I voted the toplane based on the jungler, since that synergy is important in my eyes, as a jungle main. Still probobly would have voted Darien, but the tie-breaker for NA Top was Oddone.

Taboo · « **Reply #519 on:** April 02, 2013, 09:48:11 AM »

NA: dyrus/svicious/aphromoo/scarra/chaox, while he was still there, voted for wildturtle after
EU: cyanide/soaz/alex ich/yellowpete/nrated

i /really/ like fnatic

Riot's true april fool's prank was having different free-week champs than the homepage says, again. BV

Also there is plenty of PBE notes on different sites all or some of which might be jokes, annoyingly.

I dunno, Reign of Gaming's were posted on the 2nd, and seem legit.

Well I hope the notes on S20 weren't April fools. I've been waiting for custom recommended items 4ever.
Even more so when they introduced the new shop. I hate that thing. Every trip to it becomes a game of find the pots/wards.

The custom recommended items is an actual thing, I can guarantee you that much, though they're still in the process of testing and gathering ideas about how they want it to work.

Esifex · « **Reply #526 on:** April 02, 2013, 03:16:00 PM »

Unless they disabled CHEW, it doesn't work on Macs

Also I think I'd die less if I stopped picking up my 3DS to play Monster Hunter every time I die. I start thinking 'oh hey I almost have enough ore for my next set of armor- YOU HAVE BEEN SLAIN'

Zerviscos · « **Reply #527 on:** April 02, 2013, 03:21:28 PM »

Anyone here on SEA server? I'm thinking of moving there since I have better connection there...damn I need to restart in level 1, reset runes, masteries...and champions. Sucks, but hey...good to start fresh.

You know I played that 'cause it said I was gonna get a Gentleman Cho'gath skin...I thought it was a code for LoL, but nah...it was for that.

is it just me or is the new karma not really any better :/

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #529 on:** April 03, 2013, 12:50:56 AM »

I feel like she's much better... as an AP Caster.

As far as support Karma goes, though, she's pretty rubbish to me.

Parallaxal · « **Reply #530 on:** April 03, 2013, 01:38:51 AM »

We got news on the incoming visual upgrades/reworks for Trundle and Sejuani.

Not really liking what they did with Trundle, but I do like the new Sejuani in terms of both looks and kit.

Cadmas · « **Reply #531 on:** April 03, 2013, 02:23:37 AM »

Only thing about Trundle I disliked was the voice change. The changing of the lore I can deal with it.

Least the traditional skin keeps the old voice, and here's to hoping the new animations fixed the dps drop from his Q.

Sejuani looks great.

I have the same opinion tbh.

Welp poppy has the highest winrate of any champ according to lolking.

I stop playing for one month and THIS happens. Now who do I blame for this?

Suikama · « **Reply #534 on:** April 03, 2013, 02:50:48 AM »

poppy's winrate spikes up and down between highest and lowest winrate in the game because of how little she's played

Cadmas · « **Reply #535 on:** April 03, 2013, 03:20:46 AM »

Well just asked my brother. Seems there is a platinum player that's played like 188 games with poppy (100%) and has a 68% win rate.

Raikaria · « **Reply #537 on:** April 03, 2013, 09:53:51 AM »

*Waits impatiently for new Sejuani to stomp with*

More tankiness, more C.C, more damage that comes out faster [And her Winds HP scaling is better as well as coming out faster, even if it doesn't increase on frosted targets], and her Ult stunning everyone for the full duration [If it hits, but considering I almost always hit Ashe arrows and Varus Ults...]

When new Sej comes out, I am going to faceroll with it. She's pretty strong already. I already dominated most of the time on her. My K:D:A on Sejuani is the highest I have... something like 6:1.

On the other hand I dislike what they are doing with Trundle. They basically, as it says on the page, made an Ice Trundle skin, then decided 'Why not ruin who Trundle is and throw him in to celebrate Lissandra coming out!'. Trundle was a unique character with his own charm.

It's like they changed Karthus, and removed the mystery of Evelynn's origin, just to throw them in with Elise's release.

A character should not have who they are rewritten just to accommodate a release of a character that wasn't even linked to them in the first place. At least, unlike Karthus, it seems new Trundle is actually linked with Lissandra [Oh come on we all know she's the Ice Witch, or at least is behind it]

EDIT: Her Northern Winds is 16% bonus HP, not max HP now. Meh, still strong and looking foward to smashing some people with Sej.

Ye, that name sounds right. At least that's whose guide it was.

Think the account was someone different.

Iryan · « **Reply #539 on:** April 03, 2013, 11:36:05 AM »

Yeah, the new trundle is cool (pun not intended), but it is completely different from the old one, which was also cool. Why not just add a new cool thing without removing an existing cool thing?

What bugs me about this a lot is the contrast between that one promotional video where riot employees mention that they are proud of the uniqueness of their characters, for instance how annie differs from the typical mage/wizard depiction in fantasy, and between the statements by iron stylus & co. that karma and trundle got changed to more standardized versions of their characteris in order to "fulfill the fantasy" better, i.e. they deliberately made them less unique on purpose.

I like the new trundle, but not at the death of the old trundle. :derp:
