why are you so legend Q_Q

lightdragoon88Aug 31, 20153 votes

I am a Legend of Dragoon.

The MormonatorAug 31, 20155 votes

Thank you for that subtle reminder that Dragoons were removed from Starcraft.

ArkenStormAug 31, 20151 votes

protoss, while still my favorite race, are the underdogs for sure now. stalkers are nowhere near as good, and immortals can't hit air. Carriers have been nerfed hard. WHY IS PROTOSS HATED BY BLIZZARD?!!?

I'm just hoping for some redeeming qualities in Legacy of the Void, because currently the new units are stupid IMO. Ok, not stupid, but relatively weak. Terran gets more awesome stuff, zerg gets lurker back and a cool roach upgrade(that acts like a marauder does for protoss shield destruction!), and protoss gets meh.

hey lightdragoon you're the one with the skin sales stories, right?

lightdragoon88Aug 31, 20151 votes

Yep.

Bouffon dAnglaisAug 31, 20151 votes

did you continue those since the one with Cassiopeia?

lightdragoon88Aug 31, 20151 votes

Of course.

Bouffon dAnglaisSep 1, 20151 votes

Could you, by any chance, make a thread with links to all of it?

ConnceptAug 31, 20152 votes

It saddens me greatly that people don't get this reference. :(

Legend of Dragoon people, amazing skill based RPG with a great story and a lot of beautiful hand drawn visuals. The Light Dragoon was one of the game's titular dragoon characters, though technically she was called the White Silver Dragoon.

lightdragoon88Aug 31, 20151 votes

I'll be honest, my name was supposed to be based of the Lightning Dragoon.

I actually played with him in a game once. We randomly found each other in team builder and he was playing Quinn. Of course I had to make really bad plays and look like a bronze 11 noob. item 3070 Tristana

Pls. Make a different thread and talk about it. BUT NOT IN LEAGUE OF LEGENDS.

RottedApplesAug 31, 20157 votes

the gif was relevant. and actually a decent joke if you get it.

also, that was 2 replies, some haters.

EarthpineAug 31, 20154 votes

Why are people downvoting you? There's no reason to.

I AM IN NO WAY A BRONY, just pointing that out.

I mean haters gonna hate. The gif was still relevant to the situation regardless.

The ol' Charlie Brown effect

JammieboiAug 31, 20154 votes

The rock thing is stupid. If his power is gated by it, Skarner is trash unless he's near it. Instead they decide to let him keep all his power and gave him the buff rock.

Davy CrockettAug 31, 20153 votes

it was only if he cc'd someone so... by stunning with E or ulting someone.

It was riot's way of putting the boards in their place.

You think this rework is gonna make him worse? Eat this ya lil shits

SpecterVonBarenAug 31, 20154 votes

But he is worse. Yes, he functions and is very successful in games, but his actual design is worse because now his current... idea I guess, is that he is a ball of stats champion that has six balls that give him more stats.

Honestly, think about what Skarner will be like when his numbers are tuned right so that he isn't OP. Is there any reason to play him over someone else? The only thing unique he provides is still the same thing as always, his ult.

Sentinel HydraAug 31, 20152 votes

Well, I guess Riot is sorta trying to theme him more to a neutral objective controller. I think people would play him over someone else because its kind of like a mini-game: You fight in this area and yay! You win(sometimes). His ult is the most unique thing about him, however this makes him more unique; and possibly more fun to play.

SpecterVonBarenAug 31, 20153 votes

The issue is that even as a neutral objective controller he's not great, he's not good at controlling those objectives because his kit inherently make him good at it like Nunu's Consume for the monsters themselves ,or Fiddle's ability to ult onto an unsuspecting team. Instead his ability to control neutral objectives is because of a ham fisted stat boost.

It doesn't make him any better at controlling these areas because they give him a unique skill or ability that lends itself to this (Like... what if the range of summoner spells was increased for him when he's near a rock? Then he could smite from over a wall if his crystal isn't captured) it's just "I function better here because reasons."

HoactzinAug 31, 20151 votes

I think that the idea is that he's meant to be just okay when he's not around his rock, and fantastic when he is. I feel that now that he's less "I hope I can charge out of the jungle at 550 movespeed and smack you around, if not I'm useless" and more "No matter what, I have the potential to get my rock. This rock is my friend, my buddy. Rock on." etc, he will be allowed to be a bit stronger.

The LovelessSep 1, 20151 votes

It's not even the crystals alone that make him oppressive. It's fighting him with the double stun, low cooldown rapid slashing, when he has thornmail, 1 or more juggernaut items and overall heavy defense which boosts his shield that's soul sucking. Good luck if he so happens to have triforce.

only except he gets a DRAGON

A dragon that doesn't listen to commands.

RikariAug 31, 20151 votes

my thoughts exactly.

Bouffon dAnglaisAug 31, 20151 votes

I mean, yeah sure, he's strong, but... I dunno, I just find him less fun.

CasterGilgameshAug 31, 20152 votes

he is almost the same tbh

DarkvaineAug 31, 20151 votes

music begins i came in like a wreaking ball!

Vistha KaiAug 31, 20151 votes

I still think he got a rock.

For some weird reason not being banning phase I have yet to play with or aganist Skarner.

Oh, wait. I can't play ranked because I'm getting packet loss every match this patch.

The LovelessSep 1, 20151 votes

That's why I ignored everyone who didn't even test the juggernauts on PBE, and even those saying "so and so is trash now".

Darius did NOT need that hotfix buff either. Just like reworked Ryze didn't need buffs just because his release week winrate was in the shitters.

I wish people would get adjusted and recognize a hero's strengths before spouting off like they know what they're talking about.

Side note: I'm tired of the same two "Morde mains, even though one of them got exposed for buying an account and doing horribly on Morde" constantly making threads as if they're the authority on Morde just because they named their accounts after him, and the blind upvotes they get for having cool names. Those guys, unsurprisingly, didn't know squat and it turns out Morde doesn't suffer bot lane at all. "QQ huehue CertainlyT gonna fail"

zzzz

Actually I was always afraid of him inside those fields. I was more afraid of how sad he would be outside of those fields. But then I solo'd dragon lvl 5 and all was K.
