Hey all!

Really enjoyed doing this episode on Nisqy from a few weeks back vs Eika's Yasuo. It's sometimes really unclear how someone is able to get themselves into a position where they can make a solo kill happen in pro play w/ the observers following all 3 lanes + junglers so I wanted to highlight this game which features some really incredible movement by Nisqy.

Watching the game back I was so impressed with how often he was able to sidestep / dodge Eika's Q's and as a result put himself in an HP advantage allowing him to properly setup the lane for a potential solo kill. One of the hallmarks of a great player is the little micro dodges they're able to consistently do with tiny unpredictable movements back and forth and this is really shown off here.

The episode would've been out a bit earlier but we felt this content wasn't time sensitive and our content team is absolutely swamped with all the stuff we've been putting out this year! I already have a ...

You have access to the exact same numbers I have. Google "League of Legends old Masteries" as I just did three minutes ago and look up all the old info you want.

Truly, the moment Runes Reforged launched, the itemless PvP combat of the game was unchanged. They fine tuned so hard that they gave Ezreal R 10 flat damage to compensate for the fact that it had a Bonus AD ratio. And again, I went back and spot-checked a few cases and the numbers really came out to nearly-identical. The only thing people really lost was 10% scaling CDR in Glyphs sometimes, and even then that was soft-refunded by the flat MR they gained.

In general, to your second point, people really didn't change rune pages very much. They didn't really even change mastery pages much.

In general, people still don't really make pregame choices because either they don't think to (fair), don't believe it's worth doing (it is), or don't think they know enough to make good choices (also fair). I think ...

Well done.

Mathematically untrue.

When Runes Reforged came out, champions were all compensated for their Seals choice (mostly, just flat Armor, except for mids who were given HP/level). By contrast, mages lost their flat magic penetration marks and other champions lost their magic resist glyphs. That came pretty close to treading water.

There were lots of people, commentators included, who would say things like, "Ah yes, he died because he doesn't have his MR glyphs anymore." That was also fraudulent. For example, most mid laners ran CDR/level runes and so the Runes Reforged base stat changes actually made mages tankier against one another. To claim otherwise means you didn't actually look at pro rune pages and just regurgitated what other people said.

I went so far as to dissect some of the specific cases where this refrain was used, considering all the old runes (Deathfire Touch, Thunderlord's, etc.) they used to run and comparing to the new ones (Aery, Scorch, etc.)...

I learned how to jungle on WW. 10/10 would recommend because the "vision" you get on injured enemies is really handy. His clear is also pretty fast and his kit's pretty simple.

Amumu is also a great one because you just farm until you can press R and then you win.

I recommend Blitz! It's a desktop app that takes care of item builds, rune selection, etc and generally allows you to focus on the game more.

I keep it hidden so I don't get targeted and flamed haha. It can get pretty brutal out there D:

I'm just the messenger :) I fed this back to our team after I laned against my first Zyra mid in several years on Sylas. That was a painful experience.

I'm not sure on this specific interaction, but the interaction where Petricite Burst doesn't kill summoned minions (Yorick Ghouls, Zyra Plants) in one hit is a bug and will be fixed.

With all the content he’s creating I can understand why Jatt is in therapy.

This really is the Weirdest Elise penta I’ve seen

Don’t worry, you can always mute them. :)

Good luck! Jungle is a little rough upfront but it’s a fun role.

As a fellow Vi main, I’ve been really enjoying Ekko and Zac jungle. Zac has healthy clear, great ganks, scales well, and ultimately carries by way of being super disruptive. Ekko is fun as a more assassin-y jungles with a nutty ultimate and great clear. W takes some time to get down but it’s an awesome tool once you nail it.

180 no scope

yeah hes also getting renamed to cheek slapper

Tyty <3

since we see one of the main snowball strats right now is 4 man diving bot tower and pushing it, I see this as pulling snowball from that and pushing it into solo lane melees taking towers

100

Ok, if you all really want an adc vote that isn't "building my own team..." I'll throw Kobbe's name out there!

Don't worry, the real all pro votes at the end of the split will be according to the rules :P
