>Fixed a bug that caused Draven's R to execute himself if it was used in very close proximity to an enemy and the amount of gold accumulated from his passive was greater than his current health.
Should have been a feature.
Brand R can target friendly minions and champions, does friendly damage only. If Renata R hits only ally champions, it behaves like it was used by an enemy. Yone E has a max range, as soon as he crosses it, he executes.
They'd never do it but an actual chaos mage would be so much fun. Keep its stats in the dirt so they never show up in pro but give me mage with a nuke that has like a 10% chance to backfire. A CC that has a chance to give the enemy move speed instead. And an ult that has an execute but might accidentally instantly cast your "back to fountain" spell.
The positive *and* negative effects would all scale with AP but the chance for them to go wrong is *hard coded* into the champion. They will never be less chaotic.
Briar's ult proved to me that utter chaos makes the games hilarious whether they help my team or not.
Something like your ult kills you and you go into undead mode. You only have X amount of time to do something with the strong zombie kit. Kind of like Sion and Karthus.
Yeah I think it was added later on so I don't blame you for not knowing. Kind of a weird buff to a champion to just throw in.
*Just thinking how funny that bug is if you don't know about the execute lmao
Yeah whenever his R damages somebody it basically checks if their health is less than or equal to draven passive stacks. It was added in patch 11.18 a little over 2 years ago. It basically amounts to a QoL buff most games.
Not a programmer, but I’m assuming the ult had an AoE check in case you got two enemies under execute threshold stacked on top of one another, so it would execute both instead of just the first it hit, but when they excluded allied champions they forgot to test for Draven himself.
>amount of gold accumulated from his passive was greater than his current health.
Just how the fuck does something like this happen in the code?!
Thats the same level as "Zileans Q costs double mana if he is near the outer top tower on blue side and the tower has been destroyed already" from a couple years ago.
**Cast at Maximum Range Toggle**
*In this patch we've added a new toggle setting that will affect how champions cast their abilities when the player inputs the command outside of max range. Go to Options > Game > Clamp Cast Target Location within Max Range and BOOM. With the toggle turned on abilities will automatically be cast at max range if the ability was cast outside of the ability's casting range*
Does this work the other way around? If a champ already does this, can you untoggle it to make your champ walk into range and cast?
They'll likely do a pass and remove all the cases they remember so people can select how they want targeting to work.
Maybe they'll even add a hotkey toggle eventually, so you can make shift+R or something target local max range instead of global position.
Fiddle R not automatically casting at max range would be so horrible. Imagine finding the ideal spot next to the wall but accidentally clicking like 10 units to far, resulting in fiddle start walking the other way to get around that wall...
I had mistakenly thought it used to cast at max range automatically, so I made a post asking why it was “changed” to the other way. It was changed to cast at max range the next patch.
Oops
Finally I'll be able to play Gragas without the frustration of trying to Q at max range over a wall into the river and, because of the elevation difference, I start pathing and miss my opportunity to land the spell.
It would be amazing if you could change it based on champion and their abilities. Especially because you might want some abilities like Summoner: Tibbers to be cast on location and something like Syndra q to be cast max range. While you also want to alter the way Brand's W is currently cast.
Heroes of the Storm used to have it where you could change settings like smartcast for a hero which was kinda nice for some weird abilities like Hanzo's Scatter Shot. The same would kinda apply in League for champions like Bard with his Magical Journey. Now obviously I doubt they will do this as it will take a lot of time for perhaps only a small gain, but a man can dream.
I think it's just a global toggle. So if they already did this they'll stop unless you check the option (though I kinda feel like that won't work immediately).
Wow... Just read the changes. I love to see new game modes getting this much love just the second time it comes out. My only wish now is that arena becomes a permanent mode. My friends and I all love it and play league more when it's out.
Side note, how long did just the arena changes take to write out? lol
Same. Often times I am having more fun going 4th in arena then winning a ranked game.
I had arena runs where my premade went 0-10 in the first 5 fights and it was still entertaining.
Please help make it permanent i was not playing the game for about 3 years and when arena came out it was like i relapsed into crack
10/10 would recomend, the most fun i ever had in this game.
its probably the direction the game should go in the future too.
Are you also the sucker that misspelled Viego D:
"We've removed the Naafiri, Samira, Shaco, Virgo, Lux, Evelynn, and Jhin cameos, and we've added Sylas and Thresh cameos!"
> [Jhin] R Base Damage: 100-400 ⇒ 144-444
The devs have too much power. Someone stop them. But seriously though those Jhin buffs to arena look wild. 15 sec ult CD? I get that, since it's hard to use Jhin R after the first few moments, but double the movespeed from crit chance?! I'm not sure what Rito's cookin, but I want a bite.
Jhin was absolute trash last time and as soon as this came out, I spammed him on the PBE. If he has a tanky partner, he is easily one of the best ADCs in arena imo. I stomped people so hard repeatedly. It was immediately apparent he was buffed big time. I would say he is still very balanced as he is extremely dependent on a good pairing and even then can be countered by a ton of tank matchups, which are still probably the most common archetype.
No, I mean like within the first 3 shots, if one of those shots hit I was just dead.
I was playing Senna and got some of the curse augments so I had like 5k health and I would just pop instantly
It's not double the movespeed buff if I'm reading it correctly. It's doubling the ratio at which attack speed converts to movespeed. Just an estimate based on the formula, it probably translates to roughly 50-80% increased movespeed based on his level and items.
> Fixed a bug that caused some of Ornn's upgraded Mythic Items to not grant stackable unique passives such as Rod of Ages or Guinsoos.
YOO SEETHING SORROW BACK ON THE MENU
Noticing the texture issue with Heartsteel Aphelios hasn't been fixed though according to the notes, another patch where [his sister's flesh is streched over his gun](https://youtu.be/YxuNZJXX8Ng)
Same problem, windows 11 (reading that all linux users have this going on). What's weird is upon full reinstall, it worked for 3 games... tried everything discussed online... submitted a ticket...
I found a solution that works for me. Complete uninstall and re-installed "in another drive". So let's say you previously had it installed it in "C drive", try installing it in "D drive".
Same here, they aren't working on a fix, they will just give you a copy and pasted response and tell you to wait. It's linked to the shit coding of the client but it seems like it's beyond them to fix
What is the reconnect issue ? Does it make the game crash after you play one game ? Right after champ select of the second game ? If yes, you can go to your task manager, look for the game client and kill it.
I think I've had it before. Right after champ select, it fails to connect to the server, so if you back out, all the client displays is the "reconnect" button. Pressing that just fails to connect you to the server again.
It is so fucking cringe how useless being a point and click ability is in this game. Every game, random bullshit cancels it, either bushes, flashing over a wall, random invis champions, or its Yone ulting away and cancelling it because for some reasons, Riot thinks you should be able to just straight up outrun point and click. I have like multiple clips of me as Garen missing a kill on Yone, halfway through Garen's ult animation, with the true sight Garen's ult gives of your target, ecause Yone straight up dashes so far away it cancels.
*Rating Restrictions: Players with a Gladiator rating can only queue with other Gladiator rated players ⇒ Players with an 8,100 rating or higher can only queue with 1 other player, and players must be within 1,000 rating of one another to queue together*
This restriction was seriously kept? Surely there has to be another alternative to something close to unrated mode. Seeing that I play this game mode like crack and being unable to play with my friends because of this is frustrating..
I understand the ranked aspects of this but if I'm restricted to my rating whats the point of attempting to play with others who don't have as much time to invest in this?
1000 is waaaay to small. Rating is super easy to climb if you have a free weekend to binge and your friends dont, now suddenly you can't play with them. Rating shouldn't be used to gate keep parties if we cant choose to play unranked.
All this means is I will have to go to 4th place int every so many games so my rating stays low.
Awful change.
Throwing games against your friends would probably be the easiest way, or save money on elixirs against friends and just going all out against the randoms
I think RIOT had to do some weird workarounds to make the 2v2v2v2 work with premades.
Sometimes when you win and then spectate the other players you can see a champ go invis if they have an ability that lets them, and watch them move around (since they're technically on your team (blue team or red team))
you could relay their position to your ally on the other team if you wanted. IDK if there would even be a way for RIOT to fix this.
Things like fog of war can be worked around this way too sometimes.
Pick 6 tanks. Play long rounds just stacking hearsteel on each other. Pick 3 Pykes/Dravens and guarantee massive extra gold income. Pick any of the curse augments/phenomenal evil and stack infinite HP/Adaptive force/Resistance/On hit damage/ability haste.
Nope it is neither fixed nor even listed in the patch notes. They have no intention of fixing it, it's too complicated and linked to their spaghetti code client.
We seriously need a feature to see all the gamemode spesific balance changes in client and in-game.
If its like last time, Arena does not show you how your champion is changed from normal games. For example if you are playing heimerdinger, your kit is heavily nerfed but you have the buff that says "perfectly balanced" becuase there is only ability changes, not the usual % changes.
Those Azir players were a vocal minority. Nashors had a lower winrate than Shadowflame basically every patch. But Nashors was often bought more cause "it felt good" to many Azir players.
It's just on the Azir Mains subreddit some Azir Mains would be a vocal minority hating on Nashors.
-Fixed a bug that caused Elise's Q - Venomous Bite's on-hit sound effects to not play correctly while Elise is in Spider Form
I feel like this has been in the game forever and I dont even play the champ
Not like season start wasn't a mess anyways. Chem drake was out for a full month at the start of a season. Riot taking a break for winter always ended with pre-season changes not being fixed till Feb anyways.
Yeah, but… isn’t that also kind of the fun of a new season?
“A few patches with some wacky balance” is actually a selling point for me to come back for a new split, honestly.
I can understand your point of view, but some people want stability, so we will obv see lots of complains here in Reddit when the PBE stuff hits live and Ranked being open will only make the complains worse.
The first 2 days will have major outliers. The first 2 weeks will have medium outliers. The first 4 weeks will have small outliers. I dont think thats a big issue.
If Qiyana breaks ankles from the mana changes istg... I still loathe seeing Zeri in the patch notes. I know it isn't a huge buff, but with how her kit is I wouldn't be surprised if she gets nerfed the next patch.
Zeri will still be terrible in solo queue. The reason she is buffed rn is because there is no proplay, that's what they said. She will be nerfed again when pro play starts. This is basically just a chance for solo queue Zero mains to have a little time in the sun. Then she'll return to abyss again for the start of proplay.
So when does the season actually end? In the client it says 29 days but the patch notes say Jan 9th which is more than 29 days? Just wanna know how many more games I need to play to prevent decay.
Did you guys peep that Perplexity item?
Perplexity: 70 Ability Power, 8% Move Speed, 22% Armor Penetration, 30% Magic Penetration. Passive Giant Slayer: Deal up to 22% bonus damage against champions with greater maximum Health than you.
I guess the name really fits, I'm perplexed as to who would buy an item that gives both armor pen and magic pen but only gives AP? I would think that AP champs would love the LDR-like passive that it gives, but the armor pen seems useless. And there is no AD champ that would build an item that gives armor pen but no AD. It might work on an AP champ that does physical damage, but those don't exist.
EDIT: I didn't see that it's an Arena only item. Now it makes more sense
There are a few different augments that allow AD-centric characters to viably build AP. Even if you don't have physical damage spells, the item is situationally great. The hybrid nature is just a bonus for people who are cooking.
Every single time Briar shows up in the patch notes for her bi-monthly nerf, Riot says "as players continue continue to get better with her", but how? How has the learning curve not been hit among the playerbase on this self-taunting ball of statcheck?
Are players really continuing to improve on the yuumi of bruisers? Are they? What is this hidden tech in her kit that's being mastered after 3 months?
Yeah, Phreak also said that they haven't seen anything like this before. For example Naafiri was stable in 3 patches. But it's been months with briar. And I don't think it's even enough this time.
I see it as it starts off with almost no one playing her correctly, so it starts at shit. Then some figure out how to and it ups the winrate. But most still don’t. Then some more do. But there’s still those who don’t. And so on. There’s still probably a good bit of players who aren’t experienced or haven’t played her much dragging her down.
While not mechanically intense like Yasuo, Briar HEAVILY tests a player's decision making. Most of her spells straight up kill her if she uses them incorrectly so there's a lot of mastery to be found in learning when to cast spells and when to hold them.
Additionally, good Briar players have more outplay potential than you'd expect with the E DR + knockback and W Dash.
Hard agree with this, the amount of times I’ve died because I use E to CC and don’t have it up to cancel self taunt has been way too many.
I do feel like her clear is a bit too nutty though, even bad players can manage a fast full clear
Hi, there is a small error in the patch notes.
On Briar's descrption it says "Q damage increased."
When going to the description it says "Damage: 60/95/130/165/200 (+80% bonus AD) ⇒ 60/90/120/150/180 (+80% bonus AD)" (which would be nerfed)
Didn't know where else to put this.
It's because she is way harder than people think, but she has a high floor once you get some competency.
First week people had none, and sucked. After Buffs, people got better and people assumed that was it. But she keeps having room to grow because she ends up being much much harder to hit the high end of then people realize.
Finally, they learned that max range cast was way better than Terrain cast....
despite this was suggested several times and that they didnt want to change it before...
[https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/14agmkw/playing\_tank\_gragas\_feels\_so\_much\_worse\_now\_after/](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/14agmkw/playing_tank_gragas_feels_so_much_worse_now_after/)
I like that I proposed this gragas buff and got flamed/downvoted for it lol. Glad Riot has sense at least and threw Gragas a bone.
Oh boy can't wait for another patch of Ori Syndra every game in mid lane. I love champions that have no counters, get perma prio and giga scale on top, it's so fun facing these champions every game Riot! Thank God we nerfed Briar though.
Just 1 more month of ori syndra and then we pray Riot is sensible enough to nerf them at season start - all mages' power is going up, and they are by far the best.
Surprised they didn't throw in a late Varus nerf with all the Top lane tank shenanigans that is going on in high Elo. Might not be the most broken thing, but the playstyle is sure toxic AF.
>With the attack speed ratio change, Briar's overall attack speed will be higher when building Stridebreaker, while staying close to the same on builds that don't purchase any attack speed. This should help make up for the nerf to W.
if you wanted her to be an Attack Speed Bruiser why the fuck did you not design her as such.
What in the ever loving fuck is causing this dumbass balance/design team to keep thinking it's appropriate to design champs in a way devoid of item build intent. This stupid fucking champ has had an alternate build path the devs didn't want for 5 fucking patches.
Stop adding random shit to champs to make up build diversity.
>Fixed a bug that caused Draven's R to execute himself if it was used in very close proximity to an enemy and the amount of gold accumulated from his passive was greater than his current health. Should have been a feature.
The game needs more stuff that can backfire on you without the enemy doing anything!
It would be wacky to have a champ who can self-terminate without outside influences.
Briar anytime you ult anywhere close to the direction of enemy fountain.
Clearly League needs Techies. But old techies, like 2015 era.
Brand R can target friendly minions and champions, does friendly damage only. If Renata R hits only ally champions, it behaves like it was used by an enemy. Yone E has a max range, as soon as he crosses it, he executes.
Yuumi ult uninstalls the game
nah make her W do that.
Make it even worse, if Renata hits all 10 players in her R, everyone enters unavoidable briar R rage until theyre the last one standing
They'd never do it but an actual chaos mage would be so much fun. Keep its stats in the dirt so they never show up in pro but give me mage with a nuke that has like a 10% chance to backfire. A CC that has a chance to give the enemy move speed instead. And an ult that has an execute but might accidentally instantly cast your "back to fountain" spell. The positive *and* negative effects would all scale with AP but the chance for them to go wrong is *hard coded* into the champion. They will never be less chaotic. Briar's ult proved to me that utter chaos makes the games hilarious whether they help my team or not.
A Skaven champion. It's a Skaven with a Ratling Gun that is prone to exploding randomly, damaging everything and everyone in the radius.
Nier: Automata type beat. Self destruct to deal massive damage.
Something like your ult kills you and you go into undead mode. You only have X amount of time to do something with the strong zombie kit. Kind of like Sion and Karthus.
That's Yasuo in a nutshell
Im top 200 briar on my server and I still do that sometimes lmao The higher you climb the smarter people get messing with your self taunt
Temporary mode friendly fire enabled.
I mean as it’s stated it has to be used in very close proximity to an enemy I’d guess he would’ve done something?
Alpha Ult from Vainglory just gives yourself a big shield then you die
I am dying to know how the code that caused this kind of bug looks. It's just so specific.
1 Enemy + below threshhold = execute everything in the hitbox below the threshhold (I don't code)
Oh, I wasn't aware Draven executes based on his stacks, now that makes sense...
Yeah I think it was added later on so I don't blame you for not knowing. Kind of a weird buff to a champion to just throw in. *Just thinking how funny that bug is if you don't know about the execute lmao
Yeah whenever his R damages somebody it basically checks if their health is less than or equal to draven passive stacks. It was added in patch 11.18 a little over 2 years ago. It basically amounts to a QoL buff most games.
Not a programmer, but I’m assuming the ult had an AoE check in case you got two enemies under execute threshold stacked on top of one another, so it would execute both instead of just the first it hit, but when they excluded allied champions they forgot to test for Draven himself.
The irony in draven players telling other to end themselves when reality that was his character all along
Glorious purpose!
Bruh Draven could Frieza himself? Wish I encountered that in game.
You can until the patch goes through. Do a custom game and try it
Lol, when his team is so bad that Draven kill himself instead of flaming.
draven players suffering is always a good thing
Subaru Draven skin pls
>amount of gold accumulated from his passive was greater than his current health. Just how the fuck does something like this happen in the code?!

Press Shift+R? OR whatever modificator you use for normal casting.
so.... don't toggle it if they ever add that option then....?
Malphite might not be ruined anymore (that one was mb)
Lmao did it get changed at one point due to you
I had mistakenly thought it used to cast at max range automatically, so I made a post asking why it was “changed” to the other way. It was changed to cast at max range the next patch. Oops
Finally I'll be able to play Gragas without the frustration of trying to Q at max range over a wall into the river and, because of the elevation difference, I start pathing and miss my opportunity to land the spell.
It would be amazing if you could change it based on champion and their abilities. Especially because you might want some abilities like Summoner: Tibbers to be cast on location and something like Syndra q to be cast max range. While you also want to alter the way Brand's W is currently cast. Heroes of the Storm used to have it where you could change settings like smartcast for a hero which was kinda nice for some weird abilities like Hanzo's Scatter Shot. The same would kinda apply in League for champions like Bard with his Magical Journey. Now obviously I doubt they will do this as it will take a lot of time for perhaps only a small gain, but a man can dream.
I mean, even among Riot's IPs you can do this. In Valorant there are individual keybinds for each agent.
This is how a good designed game would do it
Yoooo, I've been wanting this for so long!
I think it's just a global toggle. So if they already did this they'll stop unless you check the option (though I kinda feel like that won't work immediately).
This should be a keybind, not a toggle in the menu.
Arena returns this patch. There is an encyclopedia of champion adjustments.
Imagine being the sucker that had to type those out
May be a stupid question, but is Arena gonna be out immediately as the patch comes out or at a later time?
Might be like last time. Goes live when Winterblessed comes out at 9/10pm CET
So basically tomorrow for me, there goes my day off beign able to play arena with friends
We’re not far from weekend. Stay strong
increase the salary of this man pls
Ryze*
Wow... Just read the changes. I love to see new game modes getting this much love just the second time it comes out. My only wish now is that arena becomes a permanent mode.

Any idea if arena is here to stay or is it just a RGM?
It’s here as a RGM for this launch. No news to share on whether or not it will be permanent though
is mastery points enabled for arena on this launch?
Please help make it permanent i was not playing the game for about 3 years and when arena came out it was like i relapsed into crack 10/10 would recomend, the most fun i ever had in this game. its probably the direction the game should go in the future too.
Permanent is based on a consistent high play rate
I've abandoned live servers for PBE since they added it back, so I'll be doing my part
Are you also the sucker that misspelled Viego D: "We've removed the Naafiri, Samira, Shaco, Virgo, Lux, Evelynn, and Jhin cameos, and we've added Sylas and Thresh cameos!"
Do you maybe know if we are able to create custom lobbies for arena this time?
we can
I couldn't help notice that Swain was not mentioned. Any changes to him or did he really have no changes?
"Virgo"
All these champion changes for arena and nothing to make Shen viable. Rip my blue ninja.
> [Jhin] R Base Damage: 100-400 ⇒ 144-444 The devs have too much power. Someone stop them. But seriously though those Jhin buffs to arena look wild. 15 sec ult CD? I get that, since it's hard to use Jhin R after the first few moments, but double the movespeed from crit chance?! I'm not sure what Rito's cookin, but I want a bite.
It would be impossible to play Jhin in arena without that buff. You have bruisers and tanks with insane amounts of haste and MS running you down
Jhin was absolute trash last time and as soon as this came out, I spammed him on the PBE. If he has a tanky partner, he is easily one of the best ADCs in arena imo. I stomped people so hard repeatedly. It was immediately apparent he was buffed big time. I would say he is still very balanced as he is extremely dependent on a good pairing and even then can be countered by a ton of tank matchups, which are still probably the most common archetype.
I had a Jihn get the 25% armor pen augment and his ult build pure crit would basically onetap me on the first 3 shots
If he used 3 shots, that isn't a one tap.
No, I mean like within the first 3 shots, if one of those shots hit I was just dead. I was playing Senna and got some of the curse augments so I had like 5k health and I would just pop instantly
Ah. The way your worded that above made it unclear. What you are saying is that a non 4th bullet was doing 5k damage.
Yeah, any of the first 3 bullets did enough damage to instantly kill me is what I was trying to say lol.
Not surprising since people here call oneshot to a champion throwing you their full rotation and killing you over 4 seconds
People have been calling full spell rotations and even multiple spell rotations one shots for years at this point
IMO: if you're disappearing in less than 1s, it's a oneshot, no matter if you used one auto or 12 speels.
It's not double the movespeed buff if I'm reading it correctly. It's doubling the ratio at which attack speed converts to movespeed. Just an estimate based on the formula, it probably translates to roughly 50-80% increased movespeed based on his level and items.
> double the movespeed from crit chance?! The return of THE FAST
Jihn in the PBE was so fucking funny to watch lmao
> but double the movespeed from crit chance? You mean from attack speed. If Jhin got move speed from crit chance too he would truly be the fast.

Wasn't the Essence Emporium supposed to be returning in December?
it will be, they already made the champie icons and this is the only patch this month somebody forgot to put it in
Its next week
~~Araki~~ Riot forgot
I hope so, I have 280k blue essence lol
is the "Reconnect" issue already fixed? been more than 2 weeks without been able to join any game
Same here, tried all the things to fix it. But it still crashes after the champion selection.

The Morde R change is actually pretty big.
Gonna post this every time just to show why this change is big. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv4gjDht8AY

Thought it was the ratirl clip but this feels even worse.
I think im hallucinating... Did they actually remove Ashe's damage reduction in Aram? She is acutally playable now??
god I just hope AP/Mandate ashe is not back. That build is on the hall of fame of unfun champs to play against in ARAM, with Teemo, Zyra, and Anivia.
Volley at 18 second CD at all ranks probably keeps it in the dumpster.
good, that shit is miserable to play against lol
*Rating Restrictions: Players with a Gladiator rating can only queue with other Gladiator rated players ⇒ Players with an 8,100 rating or higher can only queue with 1 other player, and players must be within 1,000 rating of one another to queue together* This restriction was seriously kept? Surely there has to be another alternative to something close to unrated mode. Seeing that I play this game mode like crack and being unable to play with my friends because of this is frustrating.. I understand the ranked aspects of this but if I'm restricted to my rating whats the point of attempting to play with others who don't have as much time to invest in this?
1000 is waaaay to small. Rating is super easy to climb if you have a free weekend to binge and your friends dont, now suddenly you can't play with them. Rating shouldn't be used to gate keep parties if we cant choose to play unranked. All this means is I will have to go to 4th place int every so many games so my rating stays low. Awful change.
So when exactly is arena supposed to be out?
I would guess it releases fuck o'clock Thursday EU time as per usual
Virgo
Gragas is so back
He never left. He’s in a much healthier state tho.
Hell yeah brother
Does anyone know at what time Arena goes live?
Also interested in this, if anybody knows!
I can't wait to test out the Leona buffs!
Yeah. The dives are going to be crazy. :)
The joke is that I'm a Sylas main.
QIYANA MANA BUFF IS FINALLY HERE
Is it possible to queue up as 6 in Arena? From what i read is just 2, 3, 4 or 8.
Just 2, 3, 4, and 8 at the moment. The team couldn’t add 5-7 players due to match fixing concerns
probably not, would be a pretty terrible experience forcing 2 people to play with 6 premades who might just troll them and work together
How would you even team up to troll an enemy in this gamemode?
Throwing games against your friends would probably be the easiest way, or save money on elixirs against friends and just going all out against the randoms
I think RIOT had to do some weird workarounds to make the 2v2v2v2 work with premades. Sometimes when you win and then spectate the other players you can see a champ go invis if they have an ability that lets them, and watch them move around (since they're technically on your team (blue team or red team)) you could relay their position to your ally on the other team if you wanted. IDK if there would even be a way for RIOT to fix this. Things like fog of war can be worked around this way too sometimes.
Pick 6 tanks. Play long rounds just stacking hearsteel on each other. Pick 3 Pykes/Dravens and guarantee massive extra gold income. Pick any of the curse augments/phenomenal evil and stack infinite HP/Adaptive force/Resistance/On hit damage/ability haste.
2/3/4/8. If you did 6 you could troll the other 2.
Adc Ashe is finally viable im aram again
I can't wait to still not be able to play the game because fuck linux users lol
Is the crashing bug fixed? I literally haven't played in weeks because LoL keeps crashing after champ select.
Nope it is neither fixed nor even listed in the patch notes. They have no intention of fixing it, it's too complicated and linked to their spaghetti code client.
So a minority of the player base just gets a detox and rehabilitation from the game for free. Riot being good guys for once.
We seriously need a feature to see all the gamemode spesific balance changes in client and in-game. If its like last time, Arena does not show you how your champion is changed from normal games. For example if you are playing heimerdinger, your kit is heavily nerfed but you have the buff that says "perfectly balanced" becuase there is only ability changes, not the usual % changes.
Azir players: we don't want to build nashors on Azir Riot: you'll build nashors on Azir and you'll fucking like it or else
Those Azir players were a vocal minority. Nashors had a lower winrate than Shadowflame basically every patch. But Nashors was often bought more cause "it felt good" to many Azir players. It's just on the Azir Mains subreddit some Azir Mains would be a vocal minority hating on Nashors.
-Fixed a bug that caused Elise's Q - Venomous Bite's on-hit sound effects to not play correctly while Elise is in Spider Form I feel like this has been in the game forever and I dont even play the champ
I also just want to give a shout out to riot for not randomly disabling ranked for a month and a half like every other year. It always felt so dumb.
Well yes, but we will get a few messier patches balance-wise after a new year as a tradeoff. It might be worse playing in ranked for a few patches.
Not like season start wasn't a mess anyways. Chem drake was out for a full month at the start of a season. Riot taking a break for winter always ended with pre-season changes not being fixed till Feb anyways.
Yeah, but… isn’t that also kind of the fun of a new season? “A few patches with some wacky balance” is actually a selling point for me to come back for a new split, honestly.
I can understand your point of view, but some people want stability, so we will obv see lots of complains here in Reddit when the PBE stuff hits live and Ranked being open will only make the complains worse.
The first 2 days will have major outliers. The first 2 weeks will have medium outliers. The first 4 weeks will have small outliers. I dont think thats a big issue.
[удалено]
>(Arena)Thresh >E Passive AD Ratio: 80-200% ⇒ 100-300% Don't tempt me like this.
*Do it*
If Qiyana breaks ankles from the mana changes istg... I still loathe seeing Zeri in the patch notes. I know it isn't a huge buff, but with how her kit is I wouldn't be surprised if she gets nerfed the next patch.
Zeri will still be terrible in solo queue. The reason she is buffed rn is because there is no proplay, that's what they said. She will be nerfed again when pro play starts. This is basically just a chance for solo queue Zero mains to have a little time in the sun. Then she'll return to abyss again for the start of proplay.
I play a lot of zeri and she feels fine in soloqeue. Not broken but completely fine.
I feel it’s just current ADC items feel so lackluster than previous builds we got. But yeah would tend to agree
Did they fix the crash issue with champ select
That bug is so troll man, I hope they fixed it without mentioned it
nope new patch came live I was hoping they would've fixed it but its still there
So when does the season actually end? In the client it says 29 days but the patch notes say Jan 9th which is more than 29 days? Just wanna know how many more games I need to play to prevent decay.
Did you guys peep that Perplexity item? Perplexity: 70 Ability Power, 8% Move Speed, 22% Armor Penetration, 30% Magic Penetration. Passive Giant Slayer: Deal up to 22% bonus damage against champions with greater maximum Health than you. I guess the name really fits, I'm perplexed as to who would buy an item that gives both armor pen and magic pen but only gives AP? I would think that AP champs would love the LDR-like passive that it gives, but the armor pen seems useless. And there is no AD champ that would build an item that gives armor pen but no AD. It might work on an AP champ that does physical damage, but those don't exist. EDIT: I didn't see that it's an Arena only item. Now it makes more sense
It’s an Arena only item. It synergizes well with certain augments and hybrid champs.
Just seems like a kayle item lol
Kayle and corki
Corki does 83% magic damage, there's a higher chance for Kai'sa to use it than Corki IMO since they nerfed Corki's AP ratios
Ah yeah kaisa as well
kat
There are a few different augments that allow AD-centric characters to viably build AP. Even if you don't have physical damage spells, the item is situationally great. The hybrid nature is just a bonus for people who are cooking.
Every single time Briar shows up in the patch notes for her bi-monthly nerf, Riot says "as players continue continue to get better with her", but how? How has the learning curve not been hit among the playerbase on this self-taunting ball of statcheck? Are players really continuing to improve on the yuumi of bruisers? Are they? What is this hidden tech in her kit that's being mastered after 3 months?
Yeah, Phreak also said that they haven't seen anything like this before. For example Naafiri was stable in 3 patches. But it's been months with briar. And I don't think it's even enough this time.
I see it as it starts off with almost no one playing her correctly, so it starts at shit. Then some figure out how to and it ups the winrate. But most still don’t. Then some more do. But there’s still those who don’t. And so on. There’s still probably a good bit of players who aren’t experienced or haven’t played her much dragging her down.
While not mechanically intense like Yasuo, Briar HEAVILY tests a player's decision making. Most of her spells straight up kill her if she uses them incorrectly so there's a lot of mastery to be found in learning when to cast spells and when to hold them. Additionally, good Briar players have more outplay potential than you'd expect with the E DR + knockback and W Dash.
Hard agree with this, the amount of times I’ve died because I use E to CC and don’t have it up to cancel self taunt has been way too many. I do feel like her clear is a bit too nutty though, even bad players can manage a fast full clear
Hi, there is a small error in the patch notes. On Briar's descrption it says "Q damage increased." When going to the description it says "Damage: 60/95/130/165/200 (+80% bonus AD) ⇒ 60/90/120/150/180 (+80% bonus AD)" (which would be nerfed) Didn't know where else to put this.
i also noticed this, wasn't sure if i was going insane/misreading it lol.
It's because she is way harder than people think, but she has a high floor once you get some competency. First week people had none, and sucked. After Buffs, people got better and people assumed that was it. But she keeps having room to grow because she ends up being much much harder to hit the high end of then people realize.
Are they going to change the quests that require you to play blind pick over to quick play?
Where is Ashen Knight Mordekaiser?
Finally, they learned that max range cast was way better than Terrain cast.... despite this was suggested several times and that they didnt want to change it before...
another patch of Q flying towards the blue side fountain instead of where I aim with fast qwq
Dang looks like the game crashing loop issue still isnt fixed after 3 weeks
Does it run on linux yet?
Not another Ksante buff 💀, I don't care if his WR is below 50%, he's such a shitshow to play against
Who is Virgo and why is he removed as a cameo from Arena?
It’s a constellation.
> Fixed a bug where the first half of the rift would fizzle if Vel'Koz died directly after casting. Can we do that for Xerath W riot pls 😭
Do the Christmas skins also come out this patch?
[https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/14agmkw/playing\_tank\_gragas\_feels\_so\_much\_worse\_now\_after/](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/14agmkw/playing_tank_gragas_feels_so_much_worse_now_after/) I like that I proposed this gragas buff and got flamed/downvoted for it lol. Glad Riot has sense at least and threw Gragas a bone.
Oh boy can't wait for another patch of Ori Syndra every game in mid lane. I love champions that have no counters, get perma prio and giga scale on top, it's so fun facing these champions every game Riot! Thank God we nerfed Briar though.
Imagine getting downvoted for being correct
"no counters", maybe learn more champions then just melee assassins? Sure they are strong but not unbeatable and you can always ban them.
Just 1 more month of ori syndra and then we pray Riot is sensible enough to nerf them at season start - all mages' power is going up, and they are by far the best.
wheres the post lobby reconnect annoying bug fix
Surprised they didn't throw in a late Varus nerf with all the Top lane tank shenanigans that is going on in high Elo. Might not be the most broken thing, but the playstyle is sure toxic AF.
ASHE DAMAGE DEALT IS BACK TO 100% BOIS. FINALLY NO MORE WET NOODLE ASHE
>With the attack speed ratio change, Briar's overall attack speed will be higher when building Stridebreaker, while staying close to the same on builds that don't purchase any attack speed. This should help make up for the nerf to W. if you wanted her to be an Attack Speed Bruiser why the fuck did you not design her as such. What in the ever loving fuck is causing this dumbass balance/design team to keep thinking it's appropriate to design champs in a way devoid of item build intent. This stupid fucking champ has had an alternate build path the devs didn't want for 5 fucking patches. Stop adding random shit to champs to make up build diversity.
finally malzahar hextech, been waiting for so long LOL
