Silly Riot! How helpful are tips if you don't update them?

Not sure what to do here. After all, on the one hand it's useful for new players but on the other hand it's just plain incorrect...

The tip is still true since no champion has an innate 45% cooldown reduction but it should be reworded.

''You can only get a maximum of 40% cooldown reduction, but the intelligence mastery raises the cap to 45%''

Edit: Since some don't get it

40% is the maximum amount any champion can have at all times without any external sources. 45% is the maximum amount any champion can have under certain circumstances using an external source.

40% and 45% are both the correct answers, but 45% is circumstantial so it is not completely true, but since 40% can be raised, is not completely true either.

Both 40% and 45% contradict one another so both are true and false if used alone, hence why you would change the tip to include both numbers.

This is actually really good. It serves the "something you might want to know" purpose while also having the "here's a fun fact" purpose like some other tips. I really like it

Is this tribunal a new champion? I think they already put his logo on the boards! Yorick

Technically, the max functional CDR you can buy is still 40%, since Intelligence grants the CDR that it's boosting your cap by.

So it's not entirely wrong, just worded badly at this point.

just saying, it doesnt say "buy" it says that u can have that implies that it is attainable in general, its confusing tho ur right about that

We still have a tribunal apparently, according to their writings in-game or when u get a notification that a player is punished. They're so incompetent in everything , I still wonder why the playerbase is so damn big.

  • Shitty champion balance. the upcoming Win Nhao changes and cut the crap with PBE crap. 99.9% of the stuff there goes live anyway. This video above make me wonder, who the hell is in charge of game balance. The stuff they're smoking is strong, i'd try that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlDqcjEjm6I This game went downhill ever since S5 came. But now, this game is a fucking nightmare according to game balance
  • Support ticket system is for nothing. My account was bugged and i couldnt queue during the IP event , and they insisted me to make a thread on the boards which didnt made any fucking sense when i could talk to the staff right away, so that shit is useless as well.
  • Stuff to acquire in game. Oh.. okay. Hextech incoming , finally.
  • No events. We didn't even had a halloween event because of LC$ interference.
  • The tutorial is pure garbage. Thornail on Ashe as first item? okay.. Everything is outdated. 6 years and we still cant deal with afks. Oh.. they made a new champ select in all these years, yeah, thats actually cool Literally, they don't deserve this huge player base , AT ALL. Downvote, idc. I'm speaking the truth , they sold themselves to Tencent even. Let the riot ass lickers downvote I'd give a try to HoTs, lots of maps and I can get like 7 skins in total. 6 chromas that were supposed to be Free here but hell no, and a master skin. Here I master a champ and nothing happens. And the game balance is a lot better since there's no items. Shit, i'm used to LoL so that game , gameplay, looks sad .

I cannot think of a single game that can handle AFKs well. Games aren't generally built with AFKers in mind ruining every given moment. It seems to largely be one of those 'suck it up' moments in multiplayer games, due to things like real-life concerns that would make overly harsh punishments look really, really bad. It'd be as if the game itself is actively encouraging you to phase out life 100% while you're in the match just so you don't get punished for bad things happening, and that's what we call in game design a 'no-go.'

Lets broaden this to all their tips in general. The tips riot gives aren't very helpful after like lvl 10 lol. In games like Cod or Clash of Clans they might give tips you didn't know about but in lol they r pretty sucky tbh. But to counter myself tips don't really change a game haha. Just wish they were a bit more intuitive

"You can only buy a maximum of 40% cooldown reduction."

That's what it should say.

You can only BUY 40% CDR.

The Intelligence mastery is chosen, not bought.

I had a similar idea (you can only get 40% from items), but those would imply that CDR runes work like Intelligence, but they don't. Also, CDR that is built into a kit like Zyra's is subject to the cap too (even though it is also not bought).

Since Intelligence is the thing that really isn't like the others, I think it's going to have to be specifically mentioned to create an accurate CDR tip.

40% now 45 with the right masteries?

Its really depressing how some support Leona players don't understand how important CDR is?
