No because I can never remember which one was the old name and which is the new name.

His R will always be Spray and Pray to me though. Lux's R will also forever be Finales Funkeln in my heart.

Ariel the Cruel5 votes

Now THAT is pretty old dated Zilean Zilean Zilean

Twistedtoo1 votes

cause I liked the way it use to be! I played with those names for years, and then they just remove them for some ugly less humanoid rock monsters. Makes me feel nostalgic when I call them that xD

And you insinuate his ult isn't spray and pray?

Hoetry in Motion1 votes

Lux ult is based on a Touhou witch name Marisa something something Neither,it is still the same Maybe they change it because some people have trouble saying FunkeIn

E is Expunge, and R is Spray and Pray. ADCs are not Marksmen, they're ADCs.

I didn't even know that E changed name '-'.

E is Expunge,
R is spray and Pray, Final Flash/Finales Funkeln is "Lux' ult"

Tryndamere is a fighter, Yasuo is a tumor.

Wut u talkin' 'bout, dey both tumors.

Trynd's kit is grossly outdated, making it poorly designed in terms of today's standard which prompts the need for a rework. He was one of the first champions they made, and in all honesty can be excused for the most part since at the time of his creation, they were just throwing kits together for new releases not thinking about how these kits would age or interact with future releases. He can be fixed, which is why I made the distinction. Yasuo however, will only be fixed when Riot stops defending and glorifying his design, and admits his kit is atrocious.

Unlike Tryndamere, Yasuo has a modern kit but is so obnoxious, toxic, and horribly designed that there is no satisfactory excuse for its creation and approval. There is no reason something like Yasuo should ever be on the roster in this age of League, especially considering CertainlyT,~~ his~~ its designer, spoke at PAX saying quote "We want to avoid creating frustration." Keep in mind Kalista was also approved with this ideology in mind shortly after Yasuo's release...

You definitely want to avoid creating frustration...for the people playing these repulsive, agonizing mistakes.

I mean, Contaminate makes more sense than Expunge (definition is to erase or remove completely, which implies that Expunge consumes stacks of his poison, which it doesn't)

But yeah, I still find myself calling it Expunge. Spray-and-Pray too, but someone mentioned after his rework that it was changed to Rat-ta-tat-tat because it'd be hilarious to hear shoutcasters say it and I love that more.

I like to imagine Expunge means erase or remove my opponents.

Nlky5 votes

"They are the plague!"

Wulfy1 votes

expunge originally referred to violently ripping out the poison.

Contaminate makes no sense because it doesn't add infection. I've suggested a number of times that the e name should be fester or something. But I like expunge over contaminate anyway.

Captain Aishi1 votes

and contaminate is already the name of trundle's W.. awkward D:

I always thought that Twitch was dealing damage with his E by taking all his dirt back that he put on them.

Dar Raksada6 votes

Yes. His ult is also still spray n pray to me.

Sire Hippington1 votes

wait, you mean it isn't spray n pray anymore?

Contaminate makes no fucking sense for that skill.

Makes more sense than Expunge, though... Expunge means to erase or remove something unpleasant, which would imply it's removing his stacks or using them up, but it doesn't. Contaminate, however, means, to make something impure, by exposing it to an oft-poisonous substance. Contaminate makes a whole lot more sense than Expunge.

And Twitch's E doesn't do that; that's his W.

I still call it Spray and Pray for R haha.

Fear Popo3 votes

It'll always be Expunge and always be Spray and Pray. Rat-Tat-Tat is a fuckin stupid name and I will never ever call it a such. I have no problem with Contaminate, I just think Expunge is better and I can't shake the habit.

VITEV0093 votes

I didn't know it got a new name, so yes I still call it expunge.

Earl Eulrich2 votes

:D as i red the title i really was like "how else would i name that?"

..surly not the best choice of name-changing riot has ever done.

LordOfTheLeague2 votes

Someone like ratatata ? spray and pray guys..

The Soulforged2 votes

Yes joey, I know it's in the top 1%.

Knoyle2 votes

I kinda like it better when he calls it "Pins and Needles" or "Sewer Skewers". I mean of the name it has now those make more sense. Sorry I wasn't here before Twitch's rework.

I Main Swain2 votes

Tik1152 votes

Yup, And I still call the Talisment Shurillia's

Shosuko2 votes

Yup, and I still call it spray and pray.

LaughingStapler2 votes

Contaminate is a stupid name since just attacking applies the poison (which is what contaminate actually means). Some idiots at Riot trying really hard to justify the existence of their job ruined perfectly good names for Twitch's abilities.

Captain Aishi1 votes

trundle's E is still pillar of filth to me ; ; (doesn't help that I only ever play traditional trundle skin)
