Zilean. I climb with this old clock boi at the end of every season when my attempts to pop off as a yasuo/irelia/akali zoomer fail. His wave clear mid is insane, damage is insane, your team almost never flames you because you always bring utility (if your ults are bad you might), and nothing keeps your heart rate down like knowing you have a get-out-of-death-free ult. I find I can chat more on stream when I play Zilean, I can listen to whatever music I want when I play Zilean, and I can generally play with my mind alt-tabbed and still win when I play Zilean.

Super cute! Well done. :)

u/auberaun πŸ‘€ These are the coolest proposed changes I've ever seen for league. Thoughts?

Speaking to the idea of a farming item where the power depends on an ally being nearby (and assuming bot lane ADCs are the ones who use it), the initial thing that jumps out at me that I'm not a fan of is that it puts a burden on the support to play around the ADC so that they can access their item. Maybe not an unsolvable issue, but the bigger thing is I think ADC agency can be resolved without introducing a new item system - they've been okay in the past without this.

There's also the philosophical argument of how much we should be prescribing lane assignments and a meta through the item system. We already do this with the support/jungle item system, but leaving things as open-ended as possible is cool IMO.

Why is it worded as doubled then? Can you change the wording to "New effect: You now also get a smaller speed boost towards enemies an ally has cc'd"

Dunno, probably design craft. I think your brain gets more excited about something doubling under a condition then gaining half of a baseline under some condition Β―_(ツ)_/Β―. Total guess though, I am QA!

Will it only be here for a month again or for the whole year? I'd pay money to keep this trans flag trail all year long because I love it so much

I believe it's just for the month and not the full year.

So it’s a nerf then?

Basically the trade is the current enhanced MS towards CC'd allies for the new enhanced MS towards enemies that your allies CC. MS towards enemies you impair is unchanged. Probably worse for someone like Kench support, but on average I suspect it'll be a little more useful.

30% increased movement speed towards opponents who are crowd controlled by Approach Velocity? Massive buff for Tahm Kench, Braum, Nasus, Cho'gath, as well as potentially new volibear. I can't help feeling like this rune will be very op on champs who use it well.

Current tuning is that it's equivalent to live approach velocity if you CC someone yourself. The new part is that you get half of the value if you are heading towards an enemy that another ally CC'd.

i dont get how you are supposed to trade into guardian in lane now?

like, poking to proc it is the counterplay. the ms it provides is more than enough to run down your enemy in a 2v2.

It doesn't provide MS anymore.

I am glad we are seeing mechanical changes in the middle of the season. I understand the resistance to introduce a lot of change after your failed experiment of a new patch cadence in Season 8.

Game is getting stale in my opinion.

Yea, the 10.12 work we hope to freshen up the game a bit.

We still think that major disruptive mid seasons are too much, but it doesn't mean we want no systems changes.

Completely understand, I work in Graphic Design and it's incredibly hard to spot your errors when you're scrutinising it for hours!

Course it sucks to see but at the end of the day it happens and I can bet a good few people didn't manage to catch it.

We're all human.

it's weird how when you stare at something so long you can accidentally ship it with LOREM IPSUM and not see it until the next day

Writer here. We try to catch all of these (or prevent them) but honestly there's a LOT of content going to a lot of places, so sometimes we just miss.

I'd say this is on us (the writers) primarily for not catching it, but I think everyone feels equally bummed across all teams when something like this happens.

Ty for the cool stuff, I think it genuinely means more than people give credit. We all out here gay af in 2020.

I only worked on some of the comms around it (posts coming out ON May 17). The team deserves all the credit in the world for the hard work they did.

Can someone show all of them? The colors etc

I don't have an image or gif of all of them. I think someone posted one in the comments somewhere. But I have this, though.
