Anivia pick was genius
also, while I appreciate that Targamas isn't taking over the game, it feels like giving EU supports Pyke is always a bad omen. stop giving EU supports Pyke
or don't. i'm still in EU until MSI ends so I'm absolutely fine if EU does well so I can go and meme on my NA colleagues when I go to NA.
"hey Dan, can you tank this this week?"
"yes. unfortunately, NA lol"
"true"
Can I ask you whether MFA by TOTP on app (either Authy like or Riot Mobile) or even a hardware security key is planned in the future to settle for people's needs?
TOTP support is something we are working on. I don't think we have any plans for hardware security keys right now, but it would be cool if we could one day do that.
i’ve seen silver pykes do that
not against pro players you haven't
It's about 200% efficient if you're alone. But it's not at all efficient if you're grouped, plenty of more efficient options.
Hullbreaker is actually more gold efficient than many items. Not a great comparison, but it is more efficient than Goredrinker, Stridebreaker etc. One might compare it to Death's Dance as a legendary item, and it is more efficient than DD as well (although you buy DD for its passive and not for the stats necessarily)
It's the fact that on it's own it's a decent stat stick (as legendary items don't tend to have combat effects anyway, that's what Mythic items have) that also gives you the option of being stronger in split push which I think is making it more seen

Messing up not taking broken dodge yellows
I don't think I was playing when dodge yellows were available, but I definitely got my money's worth out of mpen reds and hp/lvl yellows
also I remember the flat MR abyssal scepter rush meta where you would just stack MR in your blues and maybe even quints and hope you won the scepter rush first item or you would lose
Don't forget your special Razor, Intel, and Christmas quints.
3 ms quints and 1 crit red, 9 hp yellows, 4/5 mix of scaling and flat mr
dear lord this is a nostalgia hit
Yep. My acct got hacked twice, once for 2 months and once for 3 (data hack issues from a while ago kept resurfacing).
Both times, by the time I got my acct back, it had been banned for hacking, apparently within a month of my info being stolen. And the hackers bought champions and skins for me, how nice!
The hackers buying accts on regular must go through them like crazy, and that’s assuredly expensive. An expensive, stupid, assholish hobby with what payoff? Slightly better orb walking? Getting to play Karthus for a thousand games? Oh man, what a reward, playing karthus!
If I had to guess, the reason hackers don’t bother with league is because it’s much less effort to hack just, just anywhere else really. The payoff is garbage anyway. Your team is still toxic. You’re still gonna lose a lot. Your wins are worthless because you’ll be banned in a month. I’m no hacker, but I can’t imagine there’s much allure.
We do see people buying compromised accounts and using them to do nefarious things like use scripts or evade permanent bans for toxicity. Hackers aren't "hacking" League to get these accounts, though.
The vast majority of accounts that are compromised are stolen because the user used the same username and password for League as they did for another website which did get hacked, perhaps several years ago.
Change yo passwords, friends. Use something unique for each service. And, enable multi-factor authentication (God, it's good that I can finally say that).
Shaco jungle. It feels so hard to fit into a team comp
Kassadin. You're hoping the mid laner is a god because you're going to give up mid prio for 20 minutes and then lose otherwise
Demonic Embrace gives AP = 0.02 bonus HP. Akali had at least 900 bHP.
oh true i didn't include the passive
You mean around 80 AP, not 60.
DE only gives 60AP and I wasn't including runes
No flame but here in reddit we just type "git gud". No point explaining things to somebody who wants to disagree
It's very easy to confuse how things are with how things ought to be :p
Hey Riot Dan, why are you arguing with these people? They just want to validate their feelings by ranting on Reddit and hope people agree with them.
I wouldn't really characterise what I am doing as arguing, I just like talking about League.
I mean, i build that because the other part of the team were all AD, Akali was the only AP user on that team, so if im not mistaken, from now on, I should build only to counter Akali? I have to focus everything, throw all armor and just focus on trying to counter an AP champ with 2 items? how is that even balanced to begin with? bare in mind she wasnt even that fed to begin with.
No wonder people are just using Mages as supports, "tanks" arent even that good if you have to either a) counter most of the team, or b) Counter one champ in special that can 1 shot everyone with 2 tank/AP items
Picking Galio support into a composition where you have to itemise primarily armor is an uphill battle. If not being played vs a primarily magic damage team, Galio loses a significant amount of his tankiness; he has no innate tankiness compared to most melee champions if not against magic damage, with his only really defensive addition being the active portion of his W. Galio support is mostly picked for its disruption and anti-dive capability, as well as being good against magic damage heavy compositions; it's not picked for its tankiness, because as I've discussed, Galio on his own is not very tanky even when building tank items when he is at a level deficit.
There aren't many items that give resistances of both types for a reason - It is intended that if you heavliy itemise toward armor, that you will be weak against magic damage champions. The way to view this is that because you've itemised full armor, your team should focus down the Akali because that's what will deal...
Read moreI like how you didn't read the part where I said it was bad for playing against an akali in isolation. Isolation means by itself, so if you were playing against just an akali in your game (which you obviously weren't, it would be bad. I know that reading is hard and you're probably slobbering all over your keyboard, but I'd try to learn to read a little bit more.
Also tanks are very strong when they actually build tanky. If every nautilus and leona started to build ever frost instead of a tank support item and then building only armor and complaining about the akali on the enemy team, then we'd have some serious issues.
When you play galio support with ever frost instead of locket like it's intended, you are essentially playing a mid lane galio, except now, your galio doesn't deal damage, isn't positioned in the mid lane so it can easily ult to both sides, and it isn't tanky. Well played.
I know that reading is hard and you're probably slobbering all over your keyboard,
there is no need for personal insults.

Lets see, Akali and myself were almost same level (maybe 1 level lower), my items were, Support item, dead mans plate, thornmail, everfrost, her items were embrace, riftmaker, mejail. I had around 2,9k HP, she had around 2,7k hp.
How with 4 items that gives more HP than hers, she is tankier and deals more damage?
How with 4 items that gives more HP than hers, she is tankier and deals more damage?
The only way that Akali is really tanky is due to her base magic resistance, which is higher than average by 5 points. It's more that Galio is not very tanky for the class of champion he is; His base health is 62 higher and he gains 7 more hp per level. He also has 1 more armor point than normal. However, this is compared to Akali. Compared to a pure tank support, like Leona, his base armor is 23 points lower, and his MR growth is slightly lower.
Akali also built two of the highest health AP items in the game which do not bring any resistances. This means that while your health pools are similar, you have far more effective health than she does.
She deals more damage simply because the gold that you itemised toward armor resistance, she itemised toward AP. Mejais is also one of the most slot and gold efficient items in the game b...

Disclaimer: not involved in gameplay balance.
Levels are a significant portion of innate champion tankiness. Akalis health growth is only slightly lower than Galio's. If you're 3 or 4 levels below Akali, she's going to have 400 more health than you.
Akali's current popular build involves her building a tank mythic item, as well as an AP bruiser item (chemtank into demonic embrace). These are some of the highest health items in the game, but it's only around 60 AP.
Without commenting on the state of Akali's balance (I am not on the balance team, and I haven't played as Akali recently), I would wager the reason why OP felt so squishy is largely down to the fact that:
I just played as Irelia in an ARAM vs you as Leblanc. I hate you.
