 Hidden passives OP?
LoL Secrets: Rengar vs. Kha'zix Rivalry Interactions

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 At a certain point in the late game (when kha-zix is level 16 and Rengar has a bonetooth necklace), both champions get a temporary buff "The Hunt is On!". The first champ to get a kill or assist on the other gains a permanent buff - a fully stacked bonetooth necklace that can no longer lose stacks for Rengar (renamed "head of kha-zix", and replacing his current bonetooth necklace), or a 4th evolution point for Kha-zix.

Wow, that's pretty awesome, I like the direction they're heading in, because for the first time a backstory has gameplay effects. If they do stuff like this more awesome it will probably make the game a bit more complicated and harder to balance, but it will also be much more varied and fun, especially if they do this stuff for different champions, like say having this sort of thing but it giving a different effect/bonus depending on the hero type you kill, or heck the hero itself.

Even more excited for Kha'Zhix now

Better yet, the forums were all like "QQ omba hidden passive op" and Morello was like "screw you guys, we like this"

[Jopax]

And rightly so, because screw people who are against the first truly unique and interesting mechanic in LoL in a long time.

That's pretty nifty. I'd always hoped that Miss Fortune's "Pirate Hunter" passive would give her some kind of bonus against Gangplank. Or that Shen, Akali and Kennen's "This unit is a flippin' Ninja." passive would have some kind of in-game effect vs. other characters (we don't really have any samurai though....)

Well, gotta find a way to make Rengar and Kha'Zix unique somehow.

The ninjas actually do have a hidden passive.  If there's two of them on a team, they each have -1 health, and if all three are there they have -2 health, per the law of inverse ninja strength.

For anyone interested: Area of Defect, three time songs of the summoned winners, have released their second album.

I bring you Soon (tm). My favorites are 6v4, Tell No Tales, and Dead Men Walking.

I wonder if they start implementing such "passives" for older champions since there is a TON of champions with a grudge already.

So... this is why I rave on and on about Moscow 5. It's a 2-minute clip. Watch it.

Watch it and tell me M5 aren't the best at rotating who takes damage in teamfights, maximising the damage output and minimising the input.

[ThtblovesDF]

Yay m5

Not to denie that they are good, but both teams made some stupid moves there (looking at you mf) and its the typical, high elo dance of no one wanting to commit.

On the topic of elo, I'm so tired of people going "omg, eve, lee-sin, akli the best" while thats only a fact at low elo/skill level.

Teemo is such a fun bastard to play. And by "fun bastard", I mean "will killsteal your whole team without even trying".

High attack speed + DoT on every shot + Ignite = last hit nirvana

Amazingly, nobody complained in that last match.

Well this is unfortunate... Here, at ~2:42:00 beware though, because the commenters shout a bit loudly.

M5 get 7 kills in exchange for one which could've been avoided.

edit : Heavens save me I want to set whoever is commenting this game on fire. This is embarrassing.

edit : no, they don't actually rewind the whole thing, watch it from 2:42:00 - sorry - it's kind of short, though, so you might want to watch until the end. This is actually more insane than I thought. M5 for president.

 What you've got to take into account is that, as a spectator, you have better vision than the players, so a lot of actions that look like mistakes are in actual fact more like gambles that went wrong eg. MF's ult hitting nothing. Similarly, a lack of initiation in a good position is often going to be down to not knowing the position of the enemy - so high Elo games will appear more cautious, as they are aware of potential danger to a greater extent than those at lower Elo.

 Here's another M5 teamfight, from the match against Elohell at Gamescom:
M5 vs Elo Hell 5 GA Team fight analysis
 Arguably this is a example of a bad engage in a high Elo game - M5 were 10k up in gold, and too eager to initiate. But since their tankiness allowed them to win the fight anyway, perhaps it was a good decision after all?
