@Eragonnogare @RiotPhroxzon @MoleculeLOL i hard disagree towers felt squishier this season. in solo taking them yes, but in team situations it was way harder. this might be the main reason why games are longer this season. so many situations where teams can't end after a won fight cuz towers fall too slow

@RiotPhroxzon @MoleculeLOL Since most towers have plates now, that feels like a lot, no? Towers already felt a bit squishy this season, this might make "one bad fight ends the game" be the most true it's ever been late game. (& I doubt it'll help the "don't ever leave lane" stress crystals puts you in 😔)

Patch 26.3 Full Preview! Ranked - Apex Negative LP Gains: We've found and are resolving the cause of some of the Apex tier negative LP issues. There will still be some negative LP gains at the super top of the ladder as the very very best players are pushing the limits of what's possible in the system, but it shouldn't be as widespread as it is - Aegis of Valor Eligibility: We're upping the value required for Aegis claims from C to B; we're seeing C's be too easy of a criteria, we think B still accounts for players needing to "play well enough" while accounting for players being on an unfamiliar role - Duo at top of Challenger: After being able to observe the power of duos on Live and how they're performing across the ladder, the very top of the ladder duos (eg. rank 1&2 together or 2x top 10) are too strong together. So we're making some adjustments to make these games more fair. - Enabling climbing indicator on 26.3: Climbing indicator is a feature that will help players understand whether someone's rank is low, but their MMR is higher (they are still climbing!). This will help players have a better idea about fairness of the match when there's say a Silver in a Plat game Jungle Champs - A lot of the proposed changes yesterday that were causing alarm were actually Jungle specific changes; don't worry we're not trying to buff Naafiri mid for example - In the new Season we wanted to increase Jungler ability to take objectives as part of their unique role power, amongst a few things like Epic monster durability adjustments (+armor to Drakes for example) - This & some new item additions caused a large internal shift of which champs were strong and weak in the jungle - This patch is our first pass at rebalancing these champs across the board - In general, many AD junglers are getting buffed, AP jungler nerfs (along with the Dusk & Dawn context from yesterday) Item Changes - There's a bunch of concern about Riot specialing certain champs (like Dusk and Dawn users) - For the most part, this is targeted at being power neutral on the item, but shifting its power budget somewhat - Some champions like Diana, Ekko, Varus synergize disproportionately extremely well with D&D and will receive targeted nerfs (but still find the item very attractive) - Actualizer is being buffed, and so to compensate as it's current only user, Ryze is receiving a nerf Mel - Riot Emizery put out thoughts on the changelist and I tweeted about it a while ago; can read up on thoughts there for more context - We will follow up where necessary for any balance adjustments required for Mel - We intend for these changes to overall be winrate neutral, but frustration down

@tarzaned @Arktheos Bro one picture has messages from april and one messages from august. He probably did the coaching in april, and 2nd picture is probably just how he didn't want to schedule a new coaching session in august. looks like bait to me.

Hey @Arktheos, don't pull a Neace and scam people willing to pay for your coaching.

@Drututt Im 90% this happens because streamer mode hides ur mastery level. And when you mastery emote the game doesn't know what mastery level to show and it crashes. It doesn't crash for you cuz u still have the mastery level info for yourself

There is a game breaking bug in the game right now that anyone can exploit If you have streamer mode enabled and you flash your mastery anyone who has emotes enabled will get DCD and you can just do that non stop without you crashing Disable your emotes and fix the game

@mukanjyoo @Drututt @drewlevin bro just full mute all so you dont see emotes/pings/chat. Then u wont dc

@Drututt Just got a game like this by a freak, my whole team got penalty for afk, i reconected like 15 times and couldnt play. SOS @drewlevin . The guy won 2 games in 15 minutes hes gonna spam this shit

@Speedylolx Sir if im understanding right that's not unranked to master, thats getting a high dia acc split 2(which was also master before) back into master 🤓 Regarding the high mmr acc split 2, they probably decided ur "real elo" is lowmasta and now they're soft locking u there. I <3 Riot

Funny how my high mmr acc (split 2) has impossible games on 100 lp yet in 24hrs i grinded unranked to master without any issue. Good system 👍

@StarrrXd you have to stop the evil before it grows too big

@StarrrXd n-am dat block, i never block, only unfriend. it was ptr ca danuts a fost porc si v-ati luat aoe toti gg

@jazzvillany @Pyrosauru @chaseshaco its nerfed in aram and only increases 1 per kill afaik

@Pyrosauru @chaseshaco this rune underperforms in aram in 99% of games and you are better of taking comet.

a keystone giving 20 flat damage at level 18 is hilarious

@DesperateNasus Kayle probably didnt realize Xerath had 1 more ult charge(cuz nobody knows nowdays), and he pressed S then move to the right 2 times to bait E there then move left. He probably accidentally dodged the last ult with S.

@DesperateNasus Baus being impressed by the most textbook xerath ult dodging is disturbing. Followed by the most basic moving right for a bit then switching left to dodge skillshot. Literally even emeralds do this sometimes. Pressing S 4fun only shows how broken having 700 movespeed is 4 dodging

LET THE ALLEGATIONS BEGIN!

@graves42069 @_Aribo_ 52.76% with 100k games. rank 3 jungler S tier now, before it was B+ rank 28. The reason why aribo was so 100% confident on the change making him strong is we saw this exact change happen multiple times before with the same effect

@SLiviuD @_Aribo_ It’s 52.94% with 30k games and will keep going down, will prob be like 1-1.5% higher wr than before with same sample size it’s not broken lmfao

Rejoice

@josh_joa @duoking1 @katevolved you could queue 4 people and as the solo get reported by 4 premades. it even took them some time to realize they should care less about the reports coming from 4 premades (but ofc they didnt revert the bans). Needless to say, the horrible implementation might have been the reason

@duoking1 @katevolved Already existed back then and people hated it

Current amount of players with at least ONE ranked game this split NA: 515,000 EUNE: 520,000 EUW: 1,151,000 KR: 1,140,000 I think its about time we stop calling NA a major region💀

@katevolved There's a decent chance the EUNE numbers are boosted by asian players coming to script/boost/grief

@graves42069 @_Aribo_ still at 53% with 30k games. for sure it will be different when its 300k. delulu

@_Aribo_ I care heaps about 3k games sample size hahahaha get a job man 😂😂

@DeDudekkk @Cee_Dubyuh @RiotPhroxzon exactly, for 3 games. over way more than that everything changes. plus a lot of league players are addicted, and funny enough keeping them angry enforces that. if they win too much they get bored and its easier for them to quit.

@Cee_Dubyuh @RiotPhroxzon And many of the papers that deals with losersq are stating that for 3 games, churn rate is highest for 3L combination meaning that this is most unwanted combo. The one that is giving best outcome is LLW,WLL,LWL yet people are showing their 20g lose streak and say losersq

Losers queue doesn't exist We're not intentionally putting bad players on your team to make you lose more. (Even if we assumed that premise, wouldn't we want to give you good players so you stop losing?) For ranked, we match you on your rating and that's all. If you've won a lot and start losing, it's because you're playing against better players and aren't at that level anymore. It's not because we matched you with all the inters and put all the smurfs on the enemy team. For 99.9% of people reading this, even if you think you're "playing perfectly" and post a good KDA screenshot with the rest of your team "inting", I promise you that if a good player reviews your games there's 100's of things that you could have done differently that could've changed the trajectory of the game. Sure there are games where your teammates play poorly, that's just the nature of a 5v5 game. In the long run, you're the only common factor and the only one responsible for your rating is you. If you took an "unwinnable" game and replayed it with any Challenger in your spot, it would probably result in a win. A good non-giving up attitude (see the top post on front page reddit rn), a growth mindset, investing in a good coach/asking reputable people for advice will help make your relationship with League a lot better. There are 5 potential giver-upperers on the enemy team and only 4 on yours. Don't make it 5. I mainly wanted to make this post because in the process of helping people debug their accounts, there's so many people who legitimately believe we're putting them in loser's queue that it's driving me crazy. Some observations from coaching over the last 12 years: 1. Most players play too conservatively with a lead. Playing on the edge to draw pressure & waste the jungler's time, while not throwing is extremely impactful. - Playing for KDA, so you can post a screenshot of "doing well" while your team feeds so you feel better is not going to help you get better. 2. Review every death. 95% of deaths are avoidable until you hit very high ranks. Find the root cause of why you're dying; are you managing the wave incorrectly and not getting a ward out for a common gank timing, are you overcommitting to fights when they're respawning, are you flipping it to crash a sidelane when an objective is spawning. 3. Play to your win condition, while identifying & disrupting theirs. Find which lanes are volatile and most likely to carry the game from either side and prioritize your resources there. If your top lane is some swingy matchup and you get them ahead, they're gonna create so much pressure for you that the game becomes very easy to navigate.

@uncetateanmodel they make champions more broken at release to compensate people playing them badly. they usually slowly take power away after release. if they dont do that lowiq community puts the "weak" stamp on the champion and 90% of the playerbase never touches it.

One game of Hwei today and it only took 5 minutes to see how broken this champ is. In a few days it either gets hotfixed or it will be broken constantly for months unless they cut his damage by at least half. For now if you care I think it's worth investing the time to learn it

@AwpMid @uncetateanmodel remeber what gigike is saying here, "insanely hard to play". i think this will age well xD. or he realizes its a straightforward/easy kit and tries to mind control people into thinking the champion is fine so he can abuse it in peace xD

@uncetateanmodel he has a lot of damage, but he is insanely hard to play imo

@KeshaEuw i think i saw somewhere they confirmed they fix it next patch, so 13.21. Why did they have to wait a whole patch and not hotfix it.. Idk

NOT PLAYING MORE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS UNTIL NUNU IS BUGFIXED, MOST USELESS CHAMPION IN THE ENTIRE GAME FEELS LIKE BEING A PARALYMPICAN SPRINTING AGAINST USAIN BOLT IN WORLD FINALS, IF NUNU ISNT FIXED NEXT PATCH I WILL PLAY ANOTHER GAME UNTIL HES FIXED TY

@hawolt eh, programming in bigger teams is way more social, especially if u work on site atleast a few days. u dont do lone wolf coding that much in proper teams

wait until you hear about programming

@uncetateanmodel @GankedBySkemo He's truly living up to his name. Everybody, and i mean everybody, is @GankedBySkemo

And people said I am unreasonable when I flame @GankedBySkemo for losing 3 lanes and jungle at the same time 😤
