Are you able to share if delaying the mage has affected the Ruined King story or the events associated with them?
It has not no. In fact we might be introduced to the new mage in the story a little bit before we release her ;)
/u/Reav3 are you able to share who is working on the bot lane marksman
August, Lonewingy, skiptomyluo
Finally, the decoders can theory craft now that we know Reav3 %100 made some wordplays between the lines lol.
Oh you know it. Reddit detectives activate!
Not the first time something like this has happened either.
IIRC, Zombie Brand had a different run animation chasing champions and that would cycle even if enemies were in an unwarded bush
If it's the clip I'm thinking of, that's not true.
It's a spectator thing: The animation is played client-side if you can see Brand walking at an enemy champion. So if you watch Zombie Brand as a spectator you'll see the custom animation of him walking toward an enemy. The Brand player doesn't see anything different.
Isnt it more correct to compare fasting Senna to ADCs? She is picking up ADC items, she is fulfilling the role of "sustained damage dealer". The only difference that she give some farm to enable her support more early (and due to soul giving gold - not that much in gold equivalent).
My impression (I may be out-of-touch) is that the frostfire build this post is about is played largely as a support in conjunction with a marksman/mage bottom laner. I have personally yet to see a Frostfire Senna "fasting" with a Tahm or something similar.
As for the fasting "adc items" Senna, that is actually 4% lower win-rate in SoloQ. In pro it's definitely much more effective, but it's no secret that SoloQ win-rates don't translate 1-1 to pro.
Thanks for the honest replies and insight! Curious on your personal opinion of the newest lulu buffs on pbe? If you're able to answer that, that is.
Sure, obviously completely personal (not reflective of my company's stances blah blah blah), but I've found Lulu to be very average right now in the meta and historically she can sit at a slightly higher win-rate without it being a problem (a-la Jinx). With that said, polymorph is my personal least favourite part of Lulu so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the buff doesn't mean more casts on enemies and instead means more casts on allies.
Since you're talking champs with crazy spikes, does Taliyah have an item like that?
Like how MF has Kraken slayer, yet no one wants to buy it on her for some reason.
No one plays Taliyah much so unexpected builds pop up a lot less.
Good question. It's a little tough since her play-rates are pretty low across the board, but it appears, glancing at the data, that Ludens remains her best mythic (hello move speed), with Horizon Focus/Rylai's being some interesting/unexpected legendaries she can pick up midlane with good win-rates. The caveat here is that there's only like 5k game sample size for each of these (poor Taliyah) and I'm not quite data savvy enough to know where the sample size is large enough to reliably draw conclusions from.
If Hecarim/Udyr remain the norm and there's no tanks top she might see play. It's hard to imagine she has a higher priority than Jinx, Kai'sa, Trist at the moment. I could absolutely eat my words as dive comps become god tier again, though.
With Kai'sa the premier "Dive-buddy" marksman, Samira would have to be pretty good to take that role I think.
Spoiler, she won't, not while Varus is slowly becoming a contested pick in the meta
Yeah I also have a hard time seeing her take priority over other historically strong pro-play marksmen, but only time will tell.
im here wondering why you havent nerfed leona yet when shes been top 4 supports consistently for so long, often the best support
I don't make the decisions on what we buff/nerf, but I will agree that I personally find her to be getting a bit stale with her being at the top of the support pool for a while.
You know who is also slipping past everyone? Samira..She will be the number 1 pick/ban in MSI.
Funny you mention that, I actually wonder what she will look like as far as pro priority goes. She's sitting at a comfortable 51% win-rate, I wonder if that's enough for pros to pick her up. The game has seemed to move away from her style of marksmen though so it's a real toss-up.
Great!
Let's nerf support.
I used support just as the most adjacent comparison, but because I already have Lolalytics up:
Top
Jungle
Mid
ADC (It's a little tough to find these since marksmen spike after 2+ items traditionally)
TL;DR: Overall this stat is not a great measurement of the strength of a class/role.

While I appreciate your feedback, I do play the game fairly often and any more would cut deeply into my personal time so I keep it (relatively) light.
My coworkers work extremely hard every day to continue to provide the best gameplay experience they can to our millions of players. I hope you (and other people with similar thoughts as you) can find the decency to respect us and recognize that these are human beings you're insulting on the internet over a video game.
For reference to anyone keen on downvoting this guy, first-item Frostfire Senna has a sample size of 82k games and a 54% WR. Generally speaking, the highest first-item WR of champions is often around 51%-52% and only nears 54% if the champion building it is strong or has insane synergy with the item. E.g. Stridebreaker Darius and Garen are 53% WR.
Frostfire Senna is crazy to put it simply. I doubt its going to get nerfed though. There's a number of champions like this and Riot basically never touches them until everyone begins abusing their best item. E.g. Urgot and Hydra, Katarina and Protobelt, and Talon and Goredrinker. Actually, yea, she probably will get nerfed within the next 3 patches because Frostfire's PR is spiking on her.
To be fair, if I look at the current support pool I can very quickly identify multiple examples of champions with a higher/same win-rate than Senna+frostfire on current patch:
So it's not quite as severe as you're representing it to be, but it's definitely picking up steam and if it represents itself as a larger problem than it is so far then I'm sure it'll be addressed one way or another.
Tahm Kench has a couple of wonderful zingers. Telling Dr. Mundo "Your diction is as exemplary as your intellect" is a work of art. Love me some strong tomato Neeko, but Riot put in the work with Tahm Kench and it shows.
Taunting an enemy Ezreal:
“Your youthful rebellion is as tedious as your hairstyle."
I will dodge if you put me on jungle, even if you ban me for 30 days for it.
Look, I only have time for a couple of games. I am not going to play a game I don't want to play, and jungle is a game I don't want to play.
👋🏻
Will we still see you in twitch chat?

The good ole days huh xD
LOL yes the good ole days one whole year ago 👀
