I'm basing this off of "I havent played Akali outside of ARAM in a few months" so you might be right

These are probably not that obscure but they're fun to play with:

  • You can hide Renata Glascs's Q animation in her E; E and immediately Qing will make her Q animation harder to see.
  • You can use Flash to redirect Renata Glasc's ultimate by executing ult and immediately pressing Flash. This can also be done with other champions with cast times on their abilities, such as Qiyanas ult, Pyke's Q or Gragas E (a more well known example). This is useful for hitting someone over a wall with very little reaction time.
  • Pykes E stun occurs when the shadow passes thr...

This is a backpack that was given out to all new Rioters until a couple of years ago as part of their onboarding. I still have mine from 2016 :)

EDIT: I realize this is like trying to control the weather, but these - like most company merchandise - aren't really meant to be sold. I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to sell it on.

This typically happens because your account has been sold without you realizing it. Attackers will grab username and password lists found on the internet and use it to log into League. Sometimes the person buying the account is a little too invested in playing and won't change the password right away (and, if you have a verified email, they can't), and this situation happens.

Any account they get a successful "hit" on, they will note down what that account has, and will then either list it on a website or (more typically) send an announcement on a Discord channel that is filled with people waiting to buy accounts.

The upshot of this is that your username and password is compromised; you probably re-used an old username and password from a website that got hacked. This is very common. You should consider checking out ...

Plus shift, ctrl, and shift+ctrl mods for every key so I just never run out of available binds. The two biggest things I did for making it comfortable to use more binds was rebinding one of the buttons on my mouse to ctrl and then swapping over from using wasd to qwer (a and f for strafe, then holding left and right click for moving) so my fingers rest on 4 main abilities instead of all on movement. I actually realized how much more optimal that was after I played league for the first time haha

Yes, that's with CTRL + Shift mods. I don't use a MMO mouse. I don't use shift+ctrl either - just shift or ctrl with wd for back/forth movement and qe for strafing (useful when healing in raids, since you need the mouse for targeting).

the following are all bound without mods, and with ctrl, and with shift:

asdfzxcvtg

I also have `, f1/f2/f3 bound without mods (they're awkward to use with ctrl/shift). so actually I have 34 binds, not 36.

I simply don't have enough binds. I have 36 binds on my keyboard that are comfortable to use.

Trolls having Berserking which made them easily the best raid race for most DPS, and let's not forget Arcane Torrent being giga-bonkers in Mythic + before it got reworked because you could AoE interrupt entire rooms of enemies when the M+ meta was to pull basically the whole dungeon at once. And then the reworked version (AoE dispel) was practically mandatory on Zul in Uldir at the start of BFA not too long after..

And let's not forget that even the fact Humans get more reputation is quite a big deal because it makes the rep grinds (mostly for old stuff) quite a bit shorter in many cases.

I don't know how much you know about racials in WoW, but you can find racials on both sides of the spectrum there. They've done a good job with some racials, and a shitty job with others.

Racials that contribute to player power are terrible in my opinion. I don't want to have to play as a troll because their racial makes my class more efficient in combat.

On the other hand, a Goblin gets to summon a personal banker for one minute on a thirty minute cooldown. That's not going to make me more effective in a raid, but the flavor is pretty good for the race in the game, and it's a nice feature to have. Doesn't make me want to roll exclusively Goblins, but if I'm playing a Goblin character it's nice to have access to.

With reservations for how it's going to play out in Dragonflight considering the increased focus on professions, the profession related racials are also pretty good imo. Makes sense for some races to be a bit more efficient with certain professions...

Commenting as a WoW player here, I don't work on the MMO!!!

This is kind of the problem with racials right now. There are many powerful utility racials that become essential for pushing in high M+ specifically; some players will end up race swapping on specific weeks to accomplish (very) difficult PvE content that would otherwise be impossible due to things like Stoneform. This was especially true in S2 of Shadowlands to deal with all the bleeds and poisons from the seasonal affix and from high tyrannical Plaguefall.

The problem with entirely personal utility racials is that they can sometimes be difficult to make feel impactful enough to justify using a keybind to activate them - a good example are the racials from Zandalari Trolls, where they have a slow fall, b...

I assumed LoL was like WoW so I built Trinity Force on Anivia because I thought I'd be casting abilities as frequently as I did in WoW. I was very wrong.

I unironically played Evelynn. This was back when Evelynn was the champion with the lowest winrate in the game and could barely jungle without dying.

I still pick Ryze.

Sorry, when I say comfort pick I don't mean "this is my secret pocket pick", more like "coach, I want to play this, this game"

i'm not saying it's impossible for pro players to make draft mistakes but if youre in an elimination game, as a player, youre probably gonna ask to play what you feel comfortable on rather than what is theoretically the best pick and it's kinda wild to me that there's a pervasive attitude on reddit that they know what to do in that situation better than people who are one of the top 4 teams in the world

it's not like these players are picking these champions to take a dive

i feel like if i went to the worlds finals and i lost like this to t1 i wouldn't even be mad. they're cracked

Tho truthfully I think scaling was pretty even, or even a bit T1 favored. Renata is so much better than Naut late game, esp. in 5v5s.

on paper (i.e not considering composition) i think RNG's champions outscale but in reality i needed a 2nd line for the meme. renata/xayah is such a nasty combo to counter engage, but if that jayce was anyone else it would have been a 4v6

RNG: You're down 5k gold and 3 dragons

T1: yes
