We also had H4xDefender who I think now works as an assistant coach at TL. There are quite a lot of high diamond players in Riot in NA as well. Here in EU the bulk of players are around silver-gold, but we also don't have a balance team here.

Interesting, I've just been running the standard Q max. I know strats like this have been common in the past for other champions like Ryze, didn't expect TF to be running it too.

There is a Dublin office in Ireland, and I work in security. There are a few others teams here :)

hard to get gapped when you're this good

I don't think anyone from the balance team works in my Dublin apartment building

absolutely not

Not on balance team, here's my read:

-10% attack speed on E is significant. You rank this one last. You're losing half the passive value of E which gives you a lot of wave control in the early game from level 2 or 3 onwards. Since you max E last, this is also a significant reduction in attack speed throughout the entire game.

The base damage nerf is TBD, but it might affect TF's ability to Q the wave twice with little AP. You'd need 400 AP to break even at level 9. With 3x demat on the caster minions and two Qs, right now you just about oneshot the backline without a red card as long as you are on-curve with AP. This might change that, but I don't know. If it does, that's a pretty big nerf because it means you need to spend more time actually hitting minions and less time running around the map, which makes you more vulnerable. Keep in mind that a minus 6% damage nerf (-15 at 100) is still a strong nerf.

It's entirely possible that these changes don...

not on the balance team but my 2c is that there are always going to be mechanics that have a place in the game that are also just fundamentally going to be taken advantage of more in pro play, and trying to avoid that is going to limit potential design space a lot.

given my champion pool this is not a new feeling to me

mfw my top 3 champions are in order Orianna, Ryze and TF lol

TF will still be playable but I'm going to lose so much CS having to re-learn my muscle memory with that missing 10% attack speed. T_T

Pros can you stop playing my favourite champions pls

EDIT: Also, I hope not, but that Q nerf might mean that TF struggles to clear the caster minions with two Qs with demats now

i actually did contact LS at one point back when he used Skype but we never really did anything

frankly i wouldnt want my inadequacy broadcast to his audience

I have been low diamond for years. If I could alter mmr, I would start w my own account

[evil kermit] make it 15

I hope you break it soon champ! You got this

Backseating can be really annoying, even if the backseater is right.

And, like others said, I often have chat disabled, particularly in ranked games.

He doesn't have many hard-counters. Most things that run against Viktor now are soft-counters - things that scale like he does or are useful in fights. Things like Orianna and Corki.

Of course, you can also take assassins against him and just beat him up, but you're against the clock

Hi!

The only reason you would be getting login code emails is if someone has guessed your username and password, and is either attempting to log into the account management portal with your username and password or you have multi-factor authentication enabled and they are trying to log into the game.

I know you mentioned elsewhere in the thread you've already changed your password, so it may be possible that these are just emails that are 'queued' , but it's unlikely.

Over the past few days we've significant increases in accounts being blocked from logging in due to MFA, to the point where it looks a lot like previously compromised accounts, like yours, have enabled MFA and have stopped automated attackers from actually being able to log in to the account, but because the username and password are the same, the attackers are just getting stuck over and over on the MFA screen, which sends you a token.

I wanna be clear: This is how it is ...

Yeah, so we're seeing situations where some people are getting a lot of emails and the team are already trying to reduce that.

There's no bug here; the system is working as intended, sending an email when someone enters the correct username and password for your account. If you're getting lots of emails - and it wasn't you who tried to log in - well, you should change your password :)

We'll be trying to reduce the number of emails sent in this scenario so it looks less like the system is freaking out and more like "oh, actually, maybe my account has been compromised".

Good job on enabling MFA, because you just saved your account from being sold.

Riot: "pyke is a support"

2019 G2: lol. lmao.

2019 G2 were monsters.
