This fucking company.

I think Bloodmoon Jhin will be cool and I'll probably get it because I like playing Jhin

>no waifufag OP
Good thread.

...

Best fox

>fiora
>needing nerfs

BEGONE TEMPTRESS

Honestly Fiora is in need of more of a full rework desu. But nerfs will do for now.

What's the daily limit on the envelopes?
Slightly tempted to buy more since i got 4 gemstones out of them.

>it's really disruptive
>literally gay erping with another poster last thread

which skin tells you the player using it will carry the game

tyrant swain in my experience

>Also, please stop making new threads before the image/post limit. We know you want to be the epic original poster, but it's really disruptive. thanks.
and then Ezrealfag posts early and we're stuck with his same 1-5 images. at least Azirfag and Jhinfag have an entire library of stuff (most of it not gay) for them to choose from. And they dont even whore up the OP.

>based ahrifag calling out early the thread shitters
You're alright, pal.

>disruptive
ahri fag complaining about disruptions

Fuck this shit maybe we can get 10 more blitz and annie skins.

There are actually champs who haven't had new skins in almost 4 years.

soul reaver draven

>new thread campers getting all flustered

hehe

Why do you want Ahri to be BLACKED so badly?

Reposting from old thread because it died:

#
There was a popular theory going on about the Kinkou order and the Ionian government in general being secretly malicious or evil. Before the Noxus war happened, the Kinkuo and the Ionian council might've 'created' their own demons and villains as a means to maintain their beliefs in "balance" - IE -generate control over the masses. That's why the Kinkou order were secretly hiding that demonic box in the first place, or why Shen's father insisted that Jhin be kept alive. Shen's father then spilled the beans to Zed and this was the last straw for him; which is why Zed considers The Kinkou order and the Ionian govt. to be a bunch of BS now. This is further supported by Jhin being set free again by the Ionian council, just to kill their targets and create terror wherever he goes.

But then the Ionian War happened, giving the country a true taste of war and evil.

It's just a theory though, but a good one.

Jayce and Maoki are far more popular pick/ban than fiora at lcs.

Deport that ugly champ.
They may have disagreement, but he still listens to them because they care about his future.

Ekko focus more time on technology than dating a fox-trap with fake tits.

Well that kinda supported by Jhin's lore were they said he's under the Ionia government hands

Me too, i know it's fan theory, but it makes kinda sense and they're going to updated the ionian lore at some point hopefully after Zaun

Rate my shitty champ. He's a Turtle who walks on two legs and is supposed to be a tanky fuck.

Passive: Turtle Knight takes 10%/20%/30% reduced damage from enemies from behind who attack his shell. His shell can be broken by dealing 10%/20%/25% of his max hp within 4 seconds. His shell regenerates back every 120/90/60 seconds, but killing an enemy or assisting in a kill reduces the cooldown by a flat 30 seconds. Returning back to base automatically regenerates his shell

Q: Turtle Knight bites his opponent within 300 range, dealing damage and stunning enemy champions who have a stack of 'fatigue' for 1 second, if the enemy has two stacks of fatigue, Turtle regains 5% of his max hp.. Stunning an enemy reduces the cooldown of the ability by 60%. Enemies who have been stunned by Q cannot be stunned again for another 5 seconds.

W: Turtle jumps straight into the air and back down, landing after 1.5 seconds, being able to slightly change his landing zone during this time, dealing damage to everyone below. Enemies who are struck by the impact are applied with a stack of fatigue for 2 seconds and slowed

E: Turtle retreats into his shield and begins to spin. After 1 second of spinning, Turtle flies in a short, straight line, knocking up enemies who are struck for .5 seconds and applying a stack of fatigue to them for 2 seconds. If Turtle does not have his shell when he uses this ability, enemies will not have a stack of fatigue applied to them.

R: Turtle Knight gets on all fours, and increases his shield strength, making it unbreakable for 8 seconds and Turtle receives the bonus resistances no matter where his enemy attacks him. During this time, an ally may jump on top of Turtle, and ride together. The ally will receive the Turtles bonus resistances and will be bound to where Turtle moves, and Turtle will block all incoming skillshots for his ally. Turtle can only use his R if his shell is not on cooldown.

No, next is Noxus.

Wasn't the Cabal that was ordering Jhin around? Other than that, this theory looks solid.

Mountain Dewrius.

>Be Rengar
>enemy Nami bubbles/ults me the moment I'm leaping onto an enemy
>it happens 4 times in a row

I was stealthed. She had no pink wards. She wasn't using oracles. Was she scripting ?

This wasn't her bubbling me the moment I was doing damage. This was her bubbling me the minisecond before I can do damage (ex: while I'm leaping from stealth) .

midnight ahri

>ult that makes him invincible for 8 seconds

k

More like Demacia and Noxus, we're getting the Galio VGU before the new champ.

Best girl (female)

Well fuck, then i wonder if the Noxus fags are going to cry again because muh Noxus wouldn't let a yordel in their tropes

Ekko's one of my favorite characters. No other reason.
Aside from that I don't even think about BLACKED or not.

>tfw no turtle champion

I want a fun, non gimmicky tank that's a bro, like sion or maokai but chill man

Not invincible though, just increases his resistances. Could always reduce the numbers, this was all just top of my head.

Yeah those two. Fuck Ionia. Only Jhin/Yasuo/Shen are interesting. Meanwhile Noxus and Demacia have so many more interesting champs.

This is, uh, kind of bad. Like, to a point that I don't even want to explain what's bad about it, because I think the entire concept should be axed.

When april?

what rank?

>makes his shield unbreakable

Yeah it is invincibility.

He has time for both

>maokai
>Maokai is a bro
>Last April Maokai was buffed back into the meta since he outtanked Poppy
>Suddenly 3 months of "I WANT MAOKAI GUTTED BACK INTO THE DUMPSTER WHERE HE BELONGS ANTIFUN CANCER"

>Maokai is a bro
>MAOKAI IS A BRO

I will never understand /lolg/s logic.

Usually I hate all other Vi posters (Since I'm the original Vi poster) but yours is subtle and not obnoxious or posting cropped porn.
I approve of you.

>just ignore all the other ionians who are just as interesting, and need to be expanded upon
>"i want these places that have already had a ton of exprosure, because opinions!"
absolute fucking child.

Gold V

I was talking about like character traits and shit dude, not his stats

Maokai is a bro but I hate playing against him because he's so hard to deal with.

Also everyone seems to complain about something that's totally not worth complaining about. I still fucking see people complain about Olaf being broken even though NOBODY plays him in soloqueue.

Vi was the first 6300 champ i ever bough (used all my refunds to get the IP to buy her) and was the first champ with M5 i had

then i discovered shyvana and.....yeah vi has been just a second thing until this skin was released, might try her again

No. He'll rather do long math equations or be at the gym than building a relationship.

They have tons of exposure for a very good reason.

let ionia have a turn, jackass. selfish prick.

probably scripting then.

Yeah I complimented you but I didn't fucking ask for your life story.

But nobody cares about Ionia outside of a few select champs.

She's in a good spot right now as ADC morale is very low. She's a really solid pick that can punch Caitlyns to death. Just make sure you don't get trapped.
>"I"
>Replying to posts as if you were me
What the fuck why would you do this

damn. ouch :x

but people actually do, and you dont, so you just project that on eyerone else. i mean, why put up an actual argument, when you can just meme, right?

I'm just kind of a douche. :^)

Nobody likes me anyways so why not just be a dick then?

Look at the art/stories. They mostly feature Noxus and/or Demacia champions. Jhin and Yasuo being like the only exceptions from Ionia.

I wanna cuddle Jinx
She has a nice butt

You're getting as bad as the lulu fag. Please have new things to say every time. Thanks.

I was waiting for this

Even if no one likes you now, people will like you if you're nice, garen-teed. Sometimes you don't notice it but everyone likes a nice person.
That being said, fuck off and kill yourself you fucking nigger. Don't pretend to be me ever again.

yes. so a lot of people are asking for their favorite ionian champions to be expanded upon, like others have. and you're just being a cunt about it. that's the situation.

>Young, smart, determined, and in shape.
There's no way Ahri wouldn't swoon.
We know he makes Taliyah wet at least.

FINALLY HABBENING?

>vayne thinks she slick

Yeah I've been there and tried that. Doesn't work. I'll continue just pushing people away until I die thank you.

You won't do shit about it so blow me.

But very few people care. It's not efficient for Riot to waste their time on an Ionia event. Yasuo left anyway so he can be part of any story and just integrate Jhin with business at Zaun in the current event.

>People think Riot "forgot" Arcade Ahri's whiskers

Come on guys. Arcade Ahri isn't a Kitsune, she's a human girl cosplaying one.

What's the design philosophy behind manaless champs?
Initially I thought it was centered around the idea of lane-bullies or snowballing champs, having high base damages on but quickly falling off mid-game when mana-using champs get their second completed item, but that's just not the case. I've seen an 0/5 Katarina jump into a fight and pick up a quadra kill with nothing but a gunblade and sorc boots. Yasuo scales infinitely because of his free armor pen and affinity with crit damage, in fact I'd say Yasuo is a far more dangerous late game champ than most everything else, save for Vayne or Jhin.

I want to say it applies to Lee Sin, but even he doesn't fall off much anymore if he just builds half-tank, because his abilities are on such low cooldowns that he can always be relevant initiation, and he has heavy sustain thanks to his free lifesteal and escapes. Rek'sai also has ridiculous amounts of sustain for a champ that doesn't really have to worry about anything other than tunnel placement, and she can potentially be the best split-pusher in the game. What's the point of a discrepancy between mana and manaless champs if it doesn't seem to affect anything, and in fact manaless champs seem to be the best at their roles half the time? How long will it be until we start getting manaless ADCs?

I would like at least 2 more lanes of dialogue please.

there is literally nothing about ionia, or it's characters that makes it less appealing than any other faction. you've obviously got an underlying reason why you think this way.

user, everyone knows Taliyah is ugly. Ekko and Ezreal will never date her. She'll die alone.

>What's the design philosophy behind manaless champs?
bullshit

and champion sales probably

>Look at the art/stories. They mostly feature Noxus and/or Demacia champions. Jhin and Yasuo being like the only exceptions from Ionia.

>Doesn't work
It does work though, you probably just pretend to be nice rather than actually being nice. Now you're upset with the results and seek to be mean simply because you think that will help.
You won't find peace in agony.
I'd only blow someone if they're nice

That used to heavily be the case. Zed, Katarina, Lee, Rengar, etc. would all basically be useless past the 25 minute mark, even if they were fed as fuck. Riot's stopped thinking about balance since S3 though, and they're just obsessed with "DUDE THE BIG PLAYS XD" so there's no sense of balance or niche anymore. Every champ is designed to do everything because that's easier to balance for pro play.

"you can make even more epic plays when you have no resource!"

that's literally it. that's as far as they thought.

>check surrender@20

>no balance changes
>come to lolg to whine about my favs being shit

I saw a diamond Vlad OTP go 20/5 and triple kill in enemy spawn (and survive). It restored my faith in the porcelain rod. Maybe he will be busted when buffs come.

>you think that will help.

No I know for sure it makes people instantly not like me so I won't have to deal with them. Being nice only gets people that'll walk all over you. It doesn't help that I don't know how to have real conversations with people and even if I can I keep them locked out and don't let them know anything I like or what my interests are.

Doesn't help that I'm always paranoid of people now though due to always being fucked in the ass by people

Then they should have been there but painted on, like Overwatch's D.Va

Rude, Taliyah is cute!

Allegedly, manaless champs have higher "skill ceilings," but that's just Riot's buzzword speak for "this champ rapes absolutely everything but sometimes you die if you try to fight the entire enemy team by yourself."

It's entirely for the LCS. It's an absolute blight on the actual game that millions of people play, but for LCS it just makes the game look flashy because you're guaranteed to always have something happening if a champ doesn't have any limitations on how often they can act.

Vlad got nerfed both directly AND indirectly so that's why people think he is shit.

What you lack is an overall red thread. If you make the champ around the shell mechanic, incorporate it. Riot is a dumb fucking company that sacrifices unique identity for power creep. Camille has no identity. Ekko has no identity. Champs like Illaoi, Ivern and, unironically, Yasuo barely have an identity, but it's there. Right now, your champion is yet another addition to the power creep.

If you make a turtle tank, make some sacrifices and have it revolve around the shell. Let me make one possible example, one that's still stupid but tries to demonstrate my point.

Remove all cc applications if the shell is broken. That means stun on Q, slow on W, knock up on E. The turtle without it's shell is still able to use abilities, but they need to be useless. Screw the kill/assist cooldown bonus. You're not making an assassin. Make the shell regen dependent on the stacks and make them more like a cash in, like after 3 hits.

You can do other things with the shell do. Why destroy it? Turtle shells are sturdy and having an empty shell around is iconic? Why don't you just drop it and make picking it back up part of the regen process?

how do I carry with vi?

Taliyah visual update and nerfs when?!

No, that's what people originally thought. So they asked. And Riot said "uh... no, it's just regular ahri..". Her ears are under the ear shaped headphone things. The tails are real. They fixed their mistake.

The Taliyah main experience:
- feed the first 30 games
-after 50 games get so good that you get accused of smurfing and playing a "broken" champ

build triforce
press q at people
ult if you don't immediately two-shot them

>Every champ is designed to do everything because that's easier to balance for pro play.
Unless they decide they want certain champion to suck dick indefinitely.

Riot is the only company I've seen that blatantly plays favorites for no reason other than personal appeal.

>manaless champs have higher "skill ceilings"
Doubt it, otherwise Garen and Mundo wouldn't exist.

I just think some ego-maniacal designers want their pet projects to shine through the noise of the rest of the roster.
