Hey guys, welcome to this week’s 'Meanwhile in Top Lane...', your one-stop-shop for great conversations from the last 7 days (with hawt banner courtesy of Crazy Boris).

Here's what you may have missed while you were busy climbing the ranked ladder:



Hungry hungry river king

Folks asked for some gameplay clarifications on Tahm Kench in response to his champ spotlight, which Rioters hopped on to answer


Don’t call it a comeback

After Meteos stepped down, Hai came out of retirement to fill in as jungler, sparking lots of discussion what this means for the future of C9.


He’s a good sport

Popular LoL YouTuber and Sky Williams conducted an entertaining AMA over on the subreddit, answering an abundance of playfully trolly questions.


It’s k, still got orange

We revealed the champion updates for Gangplank and Miss Fortune, prompting convos on their artistic evolutions and what the kit changes mean for their gameplay.

Butchery bridge of butchers

We detailed our next featured game mode “Black Market Brawlers”, sparking discussion around potential for the mode-specific items to make it into SR


More like rube-y sightstone amirite

RollnUnderTheBus kicked off a thread in which folks shared their ideas for tweaks for Ruby Sightstone that would make it worth the additional cost.


Don’t know what ya got till it’s gone

After we had to disable the greater stealth trinket due to a bug, folks discussed how its absence has impacted their play.


If lyte smites in the woods, does it make a sound?

Folks expressed skepticism about the new reporting system given that they haven’t seen any player punishment messages -- Lyte jumped in to break down why they haven’t received one.


YOU CANNOT NERF THE WILL OF SHURIMA

Folks discussed the Azir nerfs currently testing on the PBE, with some expressing concern that they’re too extreme.


Hook city

SadisticVeigar posted a thread lamenting Blitz’s ability to zone, prompting Blitz mains to share gameplay challenges that others might not be aware of.


Victorious skins

We clarified that we won’t be selling the Victorious skin and hinted the champion who’s receiving it this year, prompting tons of speculation on whom it could / should be.


The roffles

For your dose of fun: /u/TheRealRosey made a thread for people to share things heard in bronze, and elsewhere Dunkey posted a new video ft Fizz.




Thanks for tuning in, and feel free to point out any great conversations we may have missed!

It's a marksman? I'm calling it now, Urgot. The second he was played in pro play, I felt champion diversity had finally peaked. This was a champ that everyone thought was weak and could never be good again. Then Keane picked him and beat TSM followed by Bjerg picking him and winning.

It's fixed now. Looks like someone ninja'd it! No complaints, 10/10, would read again.

Spookyyyyy!

We've actually been looking into some better HTML for future posts so that we can ensure 100% consistency across platforms (like mobile, which looks like total ass with the current HTML) -- Right now it's all manual, customized spacing for each individual post.

But anyhoo, glad it's (somehow) now fixed and doubly glad you dig it :D!
