Awww...I got Rek'Sai. Which I've played and don't like.

I've learned to love Braum though. Could be that I can't help thinking of Minsc when I hear him speak. Butt kicking for goodness!

[Jopax]

Ahh, nothing quite like the feeling of your mid moaning about you being bronze, and then you proceeding not only to wipe your lane but to continue being a damn good initiator and map control freak for the rest of the match.

Incidentally I am now Silver 5 :V

[Cthulhu]

Oh god this is the most tempting-ass sale week ever.  Nemesis Jax is up, I've been waiting for it, but I can't decide if I want to play him or Wukong.   Yasuo's half off and I really really shouldn't get him but I'm tempted anyway.

I'm on a pretty bad losing streak which I've mainly attributed to playing too many new champs when I should really be sticking with my old standbys like Malzahar and Nasus.

[Cthulhu]

The enemy can't see your mastery taunts.  They decided it'd be too BM.

As for Taric, I've seen him top lane and he was pretty frustrating to play again.  Not actually a threat, he didn't really do anything, but he had karma-tier sustain and stupid armor from level 1.  I think by level 4 he was going on 100 armor, there was nothing I could do except farm and /dance.

[frostshotgg]

They can't see rank 4 emote, but they can see rank 5 emote. They specifically added it a couple patches ago.

[Cthulhu]

Oh shit. 

I got a fever and the only cure is more BM.

[Jopax]

So I am right now in a game with a Yi who started the jungle with cloth+5 pots. 20+ minutes in he still doesn't have a single jungling item. He has low farm, has done a halfhearted gank once and generally only contributes lucky kills with his Q in already won teamfights or just dies uselessly because he only has botrk and some random shit he didn't fully complete yet.

[darkrider2]

So I got into redownloading and playing this game again, after over a year-ish of not having played it.

I've been playing jungle and support almost exclusively (easy spots to get in blind pick ), lulu support is fun and amazing. Then just some AP junglers, kayle, diana, evelynn.

On-hit Kayle is one of my favorite builds late game. Takes a while to get going, but once you get there you're like a hot knife through butter.

I was going to mention this, apparently devourer on her is hilarious. And I think wit's end stacks with it.

[Cthulhu]

Devourer on her is pretty crazy. Wit's end does stack with it.  I think Wit's end is a good barometer for devourer synergy.  Warwick and Kayle don't lose much from devourer since it's pretyt much identical to something they were already going to build.  Master Yi and company don't get much since it's all about the sated bonus interacting with the mechanics already in his kit.  It's a big detour that for most people ends up being relegating.  Most people don't really have the skill to farm devourer and be relevant so you say "I sure hope my team can win 4v5" and let the game play out.

Warwick doesn't really need it built up asap since it's basically wit's end and he builds wit's end anyway.  And he farms it super fast while being relevant cause all he has to do is walk into lane, push R, then go farm until it's up again.

Kayle's problem is weak early jungling, especially if you don't know hte tricks to juggle camp aggro.

[Jopax]

That warm fuzzy feeling of being a fed as fuck xerath with almost 1k AP and just chunking half their carries hp with a single Q, every three seconds or so

[UXLZ]

Well-played Xeraths are scary. I know, because I'm someone who plays Xerath well.

He's quite the lane bully if you do it right.

[Jopax]

Yeah, he's been my go-to mid for the past two years I think.

Anyways, new Bilgwater event, pretty cool stuff, and most of all, HOLY SHIT THAT GAREN SKIN LOOKS AMAZING!!!

[Cthulhu]

Ooh, Swain and Riven free this week.  Rylai Liandry sounds really nasty now that we get the full slow on aoe, and I've been wanting to see if I can animation cancel Riven for a long time. 

Fiora rework just seems kind of bizarre, like they're going overboard with the interesting mechanics.  This'll be another unplayably buggy release for sure.

[frostshotgg]

5.14 notes are out. Lata ezreal.

Tahm Kench is Skarner mk2. He's getting absurd damage numbers without having what's holding him back removed. Maybe next patch, maybe patch after Riot will reduce his mana costs and he'll instantly become godmode.

Shockingly none of the big devouerer users got nerfed. I look forward to another patch of banning Kayle and picking Shyvana.

Zeke's is utterly terrifying.

EDIT: Patch goes live tomorrow, for the record.

[UXLZ]

... What did they do to my main, the bastards?
