#How well did you finish Last Season on your main champion? http://i.imgur.com/l8GluAK.jpg I am not a big ranked player, I prefer normals. Last season in normals I had a 71% win rate on Shyvana, but normals 'do not count' so I posted this.

#Why do you love your main? My absolute favorite thing on Shyvana in general is 'believe'. No hesitation, no 'this plan might not work', no 'we should go with the safe strategies'. I learned this from my favorite, overly bias guide writer "SpikeThePike" who wrote the most in depth Shyvana guide and keeps it updated for several seasons now. Shyvana is all 'believe'. You don't go into a fight then second guess yourself. You don't run up and punch somebody then ult out. Often on Shyvana you don't even take flash opting for ignite, exhaust or teleport to give you more fight.

Shyvana is a champion where your team 'loses' the team fight then suddenly this dragon leaps in and "BAM!" 3 enemies die instantly. I fucking LOVE Shyvana.

For lore(OMFG that lore Update was awesome) I actually have a half dragon in my novel. I love dragons. I have dragon knives, dragon necklaces, dragon themed swords, dragon backgrounds, dragon panties, dragon candles. Shyvana is stunningly beautiful and amazingly interesting as a character. I love the whole half beast thing and her inner conflicts are very well written.

Honorable mention to Ashe just because.

#What are your gripes about your main? W and E should have 1/4th second tick rates. I hate DoTs that aren't smooth unless they thematically are suppose to be that way.

Still needs a VU, that model is hella ugly.

While I love AS in her human form, pummeling shit, in dragon form it looks silly and would prefer massive, devastating strikes and more fire.

#What was your favorite moment playing them? My absolute favorite Malzahar play was my postmortem pentakill baron steal with aids Shyvana play ever was when i was building an AD crit build with Triforce and statikk shyv. I ulted onto a Janna and Vayne at full HP, My AA+Q crit was so strong they both died instantly through Janna's shield on Vayne. It was just amazing seeing all those massive bold numbers. 300AD plus crits with IE and a statikk shyv proc on Q with triforce... mmmmmmmm~

Honorable mention to just today going into Rengar's jungle at level 3, waiting for him by chichens then aggroing chickens onto him with my E, igniting him, walking away and watching him die. Chickens OP.

#If you could give your main one skin what would it be? Statikk Shyvana, Dragon Queen Shyvana or Arklight Shyvana as an ultimate at least Legendary skin. At this time none of her skins change her dialogue or effects enough.

#Who do you ship your main with? Being a social outcast and monster who doesn't understand her own mind and body well, shipping Shyvana is hard. I approve of Shy x J4(especially in new lore) but it isn't my favorite, even if it likely makes the most sense lorewise.

My top three would be: Shyvana x Quinn, Shyvana x Riven, Shyvana x Mira

#If you could make one reasonable change to your main's kit, what would it be? Make it so her W and E have 1/4th second tick rate Make Shyvana devour fallen enemies while in dragon form to heal herself I would make it so while in dragon form Shyvana loses attack speed and instead that attack speed is used to amplify AD and on hit effects. Somehow.

#Finally post your favorite image of your main (Must be safe for boards moderation) https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/000/184/086/large/chengwei-pan-2.jpg?1443931957 Riot just wins this one, it is just incredible.

Now talk about your main! I am waiting.

BREDDI GUD DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE

Why do you love your main?

bard lets me queue up vaporwave and I don't have to mute him while I play, very relaxing time. (I do the same when I play Karthus, actually) very fun playstyle between endless kiting through meeps, Qs and portals, strong chase, team mobility, and ult for big plays. probably one of the most versatile supports, and everything he does is extremely obvious, so when you make a big play everyone's going to be sucking your dick for it. And people still think he's bad, so I get my dick sucked even harder when I have the best score in the game.

he's a nice break from the adrenaline rush i get from playing juggernauts all day and going as aggressive as I can be

What are your gripes about your main?

his heal being shit outside of lane phase despite being a massive mana sink. It annoys me how Riot emphasizes that they don't want Bard to be a good healer; I would rather they either make the max time scale down with level/rank in W or R or replace it with a selfish ability that gives me SPEED so I can roam better.

The fact that his Q stops his chime MS as soon as he casts it instead of when he hits something. I'm pretty sure this is a bug because I only recall this happening recently unless it was a stealth nerf.

oh and how I'll get teammates that do stupid things and then get mad I didn't ult them. tilting

What was your favorite moment playing them?

It's a toss up between when I ulted on Baron when the enemy was taking it and then stole it over the wall with a Q

and the time I ulted on the enemy at the exact same moment our Wukong flash E-R'd into the enemy and my entire team MIA pinged me after we got aced

If you could give your main one skin what would it be?

Jazz Bard

Who do you ship your main with?

I like to think he's good friends with AurelionSol and they float through space together reminiscing about the old days.

If you could make one reasonable change to your main's kit, what would it be?

Yakety Sax playing after an enemy chases him through at least two portals

i can't find the one I REALLY liked from a year ago because I lost all the shit on my laptop, so have two other ones

http://i.imgur.com/VWmdc8r.jpg Sona (dear god what am I getting myself into. The number of Sona mains likely to see this and I'm posting first.

Ok, so lets start 56% winrate, but I don't play ranked much. I just want the free skin Also, I did "better" than you with Shyvana. A whole 2 out of 3 games; 67%. Also, just gonna leave this here now. Statikk Shyvana

Why?

Well, there are several reasons I love Sona. Two in particular come to mind, but I'm gonna skip those.

More importantly, I like the duel nature of Sona. On the one hand, she's sweet and innocent. On the other, she can and will kill you. I like that and I like being able to switch between the two as needed. Sona isn't the most mechanical (which I will admit) but knowing when to go in, when to move out, when to strike, when to hold, etc. is what makes her fun and difficult.

It's like music. There's a rhythm to playing. The rhythm may be constantly changing, but it's a rhythm you have to feel and get used to to truly be good at Sona.

Also, just go back and read her old Journal of Justice Jugdment. Just do it. It's great. Brilliant depth of character that balances the sweet outside with the murderous potential. Also consider that she chose to train in how to use the Etwahl as a weapon. http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Sona

Gripes

I don't have that many personal gripes with her kit. There's plenty I'd change, but look below for that. Past that, I'd say the perception of Sona pisses me off. At this point, Riot has seems to hate the idea of Sona being powerful. She's like a mini Ryze, get mini (but more substantial than normal) buffs and updates near yearly. Unlike Ryze, her's get reverted or toned down. Then there's how everyone (LCS casters and presumably teams as well) basically see her as a flash ult. One, if that's all she was, they would pick Annie. That is literally why support Annie became a thing. TWO, FOR FUCKING FUCKS SAKE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A FLASH ULT. NORMAL ULTS WORK JUST FINE. LIKE WAT ARE YOU DOING. Maybe I'm misjudging the distance since I'm watching, not playing, but so many times a normal ult is right there and they just don't. And it pisses me off.

Favorite Moments

Three Things come to mind

First is the first time I played her. I was level 20. I had no idea what supporting was or the meta in general, but MF told me to support and to just pick Sona. I didn't even know what her ult did before MF told me. But that game was easily one of the best ever for me and I've played Sona since.

Second, now I'm terrible at stories but this was great. So I was playing with some friends and our top lane had decided he was going to shit on their Jhin. I think Jhin banned his main or something. Anyway, I said no you're not; I'm gonna make him ragequit first. One flash past turret into powerchord and one dead Jhin later, Jhin ragequites.

Last, any time I one-v-one someone and their just like the fuck was that damage. The one I remember most was a splitpushing Lucian. I walk out of bush into q-powerchord. Over half is health gone. I ult to keep in place for the next rotation. I waste exhaust too because I thought I'd need a third, but one q-powerchord later, and he dead.

Skins

Star Guardian. I don't think it fits as well, but I want it. An ultimate skin I actually like. I like every other skin except muse (including the base) better. Pool Party Sona. Either just a bikini because reasons or something like this https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/unBNB6gp-pool-party-sona-concept-art-feedback?comment=0003 Any pro team skin because that would mean a pro team played her consistently and did well enough to win worlds

Ships

For the actual ship, Mordekaiser Then Ahri and MF because reasons And I would say Draven. I can get behind the ship from Sona's side, but the only acceptable ship for Draven is Draven.

Changes

I've actaully thought through and written an entire rewor idea So I'll just leave these here

Why do I love my main?

Vladimir was someone who I was recommended to play by a friend when I was installing the game, because he knew I liked edgy vampire shit. 4800 IP later, I bought him and have never looked back. I love Mages, and I love being able to heal myself up as a fantasy. Playing a Champion with no sustain makes me feel all exposed and naked. Being a pun-slinging sociopath with an obsession with blood is just the icing.

My gripes?

He looks like shit. Everything aside from Soulstealer Vladimir looks like shit, even Blood Lord (though to a lesser degree). The really nice model of skins like Academy just draw even more attention to how garbage is animations are. I like his R and his P, but I also believe they're issues preventing him from being properly well designed like recent full VGU's. P needs work, but should still exist in a similar fashion, while R needs to be redone entirely. I have some ideas about his Q as well, involving a tether and a DoT damage/heal that requires Vlad to stay within a certain range for the full value (think Kled or LeBlanc but less bullshit than the latter).

One skin?

Void Vladimir with eyes and tentacles and Lovecraft abound, trading crimson for violet and purple and making him more of a monstrousity, or Dark Star Vladimir. Imagine, holding a dying nova in your hand as you drain life and hope from your foes. It would look glorious.

Ships?

Diana, Jhin, and Elise. Diana because they're white-haired magical individuals who are to some degree outcasts to their respective societies, and they'd be the best coupling for a Blood Moon ship. Jhin for his similar attitude towards death and art, being moral sociopaths, and gorgeous. Elise for similar reasons as the two already mentioned, with the added bonus of spider web bondage and Black Rose associates.

Kit Changes?

I've got a lot of ideas, but for now I'd make Pool duration scale with rank. Starting at half a second shorter than now and ending a full second longer.

Favourite Art?

Poppy :D

How well did you finish Last Season on your main champion?

Didn't play her last season in Ranked.

Why do you love your main?

Adorable, Bulky, Sarcastic, and has my absolute favorite taunt to Taric. "I'm about to hammer you in the jewels!" (Also best Joke in game.)

What are your gripes about your main?

Honestly, my biggest problem with her is Csing. Its smooth, but it feels like some of them go fast, others go slow. (Doesn't help I got a shitty computer as well.)

What was your favorite moment playing them?

If I remember correctly, I believe there was one game I got a triple kill with my ultimate. Everyone I was talking with laughed there asses off cause of.

If you could give your main one skin what would it be?

Little Slugger Poppy. >:D

Who do you ship your main with?

I love Poppy x Tristana and Poppy X Lulu. Also a fan of Poppy X Galio, but in the friendly sort of way! Especially with new Galio.

If you could make one reasonable change to your main's kit, what would it be?

Make her Passive an Auto Attack reset again. It was sooooooo good with her full combo, and I miss it so much.

Ahri I'm a Kumiho #Proudtobecharmed

Edit: Edited

I didn't play much any ranked last year, but this year (the one I actually didn't derp in) 63% winrate ^_^

Why I love Ahri:

I love my main because she is a Kumiho, (Korean nine tailed fox from mythology) and I was (am) writing a book on Kumiho's. came 'accross Ahri (love at first sight) and started to play this game because of her <3 Her outplay potential and skil cap are AMAZING meaning you can almost never master her, (perfect for me) Her overall personality is hillarious as well, (for me cause I'm a writer and she captured everything I was trying to get across in my book.

Gripes: If she gets behind she isn't really gonna be able to kill anyone :/ Unless they really mess up or are as behind as you are.

Favorite Moment: My first charm predict on an enemy ashe. <3

Skin: Dark Star Ahri or SKT T1 Ahri

Ship?: I'd ship her with me cause she is mine >:(

Reasonable change: Give her more base Mana regen Or less mana costs tbh imo

Erm, I actually didn't play ranked with Azir. D:

I won't bore you with the details, but I played Brand and Viktor last season to get through ranked placements, was satisfied with a Silver banner and stopped there. Ranked's too high-octane for me personally.

Why do you love your main?

I love Azir because I love to be in control of a situation. I love being able to dictate where fights happen and I love to zone. It's probably why I also like Brand and Viktor. I love Azir's visuals, his VO, his lore, all that stuff. He makes me feel like I'm powerful, like I can contribute to a game. He makes me "believe in our future." With the "our" being Azir with me behind the wheel. I find his quotes very inspiring and/or awesome as well.

His versatility is great too. He can be built tanky or glass cannon, depending on the game. Unless there's a Zed on the enemy team, I never feel like Azir's a bad pick. He is high-skill cap, which means that if you git gud on him, you can pretty much dominate games. This was more apparent before his multiple nerfs though, but a late game Azir is still one of the scariest champions. Especially if his team has CC.

I am also a fan of his play style. No other champion makes you feel like an emperor that commands an army to crush your opponents beneath a sandstorm, and conquer their own territory with sand turrets. I find ancient Egyptian art and music really fascinating, so Azir being the ruler of an Egyptian-like nation was another thing that drew me to him.

Also that shuffle. :D

One more thing is the fact that almost nobody I know or in my elo can play Azir at my peak. Even though I'm terribly rusty now, I can still amaze people when I Shurima Shuffle their carry (The third attempt after I ult too early twice, smh) or outplay three enemies and kill them all. It really makes me feel good when an ally gets Azir in ARAM and then freaks out and tells us they'll feed, then I take him off their hands and stomp. I feel like I'm doing a great service by being one of the few who can play him well at my elo.

All of this stuff combined is why he was my first bought champ and I ground to lvl 30 with him. I guess you could say I learned the game on him.

What are your gripes about your main?

He pops like a balloon. Seriously, he has among the lowest defensive stats among midlaners and he's one of the slowest. It gets really annoying when people can chase me down so easily just by walking at me. XD

Another thing I find annoying is that they removed his knockup on E for his Shield. Personally I would be fine if they were swapped, but I know why they removed the knockup.

One more thing is that I wish his E was more clear if I had multiple soldiers up. I've died many times by having a soldier in the fray chipping away, I get flanked, I pull up a soldier and E to escape--To the soldier in the middle of my team. DX I've learned since that I need to hold my mouse over the soldier I want to dash to, but it isn't intuitive and it isn't told. I pretty much had to figure it out. Some clarity on that would be nice.

What was your favorite moment playing them?

Alright, so this was a Nemesis Draft game. My enemy midlaner was Nunu, and he would spam snowball whenever I got close. Eventually I got tired of it so I typed, "Hit me with another snowball, watch what happens."

His response was along the lines of "What are you gonna do? Azir trash champ, like you."

The very first kill between us was mine. I spawned a soldier as Nunu came, and he walked right through him to snowball me. So I obliged him by E'ing do him, then threw him into my turret for a easy kill. My next reply was: "That."

I went 18/2/9 that game.

If you could give your main one skin what would it be?

Project: Azir or Bloodmoon Azir. Something that changes his VO/is an ultimate would be beyond awesome right now.

Who do you ship your main with?

I honestly don't ship Azir with anyone. I feel like he's in too much grief over his own wife(s) death to look for love. Besides, he's an ascended. There aren't exactly many that can pair with him. I know Anivia's a popular ship, and I'll humor it from time to time, but my heart isn't in it.

If you could make one reasonable change to your main's kit, what would it be?

I'd like to shift the damage scaling on Azir's soldiers to his W ranks instead of his level. This way I'm encouraged to max W, not Q, and not only can I go bot with Azir without gimping myself, it also solves the main gripe people have with Azir; his Q poke when laning.

Finally post your favorite image of your main

https://images6.alphacoders.com/543/thumb-1920-543223.png

Right after his ascension in his teaser. This image just oozes awesome power, and it sums up everything I like about Azir. Plus I like his gold color scheme. (Bet you didn't catch that I liked gold huh? :P)

Alright, this is about the Old Yorick. The one true minionmancer in league may you rest in peace you glorious midget.

Can't talk about ranked as he was reworked halfway through the season so ;-;

Why do you love your main?

MINIONS. Just straight up, minions. Just being a walking army of a million creatures constatnly overwhelming a foe... feels so RIGHT. I liked his kit was so straightforward, so simple, but strong, and allowed you to just do everything by yourself, without a team.

Now his lore.... Yorick Mori tended graves all his life, as his family had before them. He had a covenant with the ghouls there, they protect him, he tends their corpses. That was his lore.... Except then the JoJ came out... and I am going to link that here because it made me tear up. Everything was beautiful, and perfect. http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=883037

What are your gripes about your main? Pretty much the only thing as he was always stuck in a weaker state than everyone else simply because Riot refused to balance him correctly. That was it, all he needed was some love from Riot and he would be fine :{

Favorite moment?

Okay so this one game, was top lane vs Xin Zhao. every other lane was a farm fest. But about 20 minutes into the game, me and him were 14/14/0 both. It was a perfect stalemate, no one could win lane. Neither tower taken, Just nonstop fight fest, it was best ting ever. Literally at the end game (50) minutes in me and him never left toplane, we had over 70% our teams kills/deaths.

Honestly, a mecha skin, thats the one skin I want xD

Nothing else to say, but heres best artwork evaaaaaaaaaa

Why do you love your main?

She's cute and sassy. Gameplay wise, she helps your attack-based carries carry hard and woosh

What are your gripes about your main?

Needs a VU really badly, her model is super out-dated. Also has few voice lines and no special interactions. Cute voice though!

What was your favorite moment playing them?

When I buffed my Twitch and he slaughtered the enemy team in baron pit, but my Q from Pix stole the penta c;

If you could give your main one skin what would it be?

Panda Lulu!

Who do you ship your main with?

Soraka, because I'm gay. Can't give away any either reasons ;o

If you could make one reasonable change to your main's kit, what would it be?

Make her ult count as a heal (since it is one). It doesn't benefit from the extra healing from Redemption/Censer/Mikaels, and it makes me sad. It also isn't affected by grievous wounds (which is cool)

Woohoo, I'm justified to talk about my love! Noone's gonna read that, but I have a right to talk about her!!!

#How well did you finish Last Season on your main champion?

http://imgur.com/JjZQetn

I play rankeds every season only until G5 so I'd get that Victorious skin, so not so much statistics to be relevant, but this is it.

#Why do you love your main? She a plant. Thorny and carnivorous. And she's beautiful. She is beauty, she is grace, she'll fucking murder your face.

When I play her, I'm the general that controls an army (the reason why my second is Azir). And I love zone control playstyles.

Her lore... Although it's pretty simple it opens alot of deep questions, like her sense of morality, her potential tragedy in not being able to renew her kind...

#What are your gripes about your main? Stop. Fking. Playing. Her. Support.

All the older skins need VGU, Dragon Sorceress was fine (would preffer a different skin) but I still prefer the basic look, because it's just the most beautiful after the mage update.

She's. A. Fking. Midlaner.

#What was your favorite moment playing them? Wow... I have no idea. It's really satisfying to flash and instakill their Vayne or other champions I hate, seeing them typing "wtf" in chat... Or when I 1v2 in early because jungler follows "an easy kill" into a brush full of seeds...

I can show you some of my highlights: https://youtu.be/7O6jMFRTFpg https://youtu.be/XO7rSSwUWDQ https://youtu.be/xWoL9va9O0Q https://youtu.be/jGc3rqS7laI

#If you could give your main one skin what would it be? Death Blossom.

#Who do you ship your main with? Every character that just appeals to me, idgaf, Lissandra, Diana, Camille, Vlad, Ezreal - do I need to go on?

#If you could make one reasonable change to your main's kit, what would it be? Ban the Thunderlord's proc on her plants multi-hits. Might finally force her out of support.

(I actually have 2 champions over 200k but I'll take the highest, Trundle)

**How well did you finish Last Season on your main champion? **

51% over 35 games (currently at 61% over 33, although I stopped playing for a full month)

Why do you love your main?

I don't know! His kit seems pretty boring and straightforward, just AA and tank. There was a build I used to do, which was : Sated, Titanic, BoRK, Triforce, Tabi, Ohmwrecker (I don't remember the exact order) which was heavily splitpush and 1v1/1v2 oriented. (You could solo turrets at full build) His CS'ing is soooooo good, if I'm against an AA champ I try to back with 1650g for Tabi and Cull.

What are your gripes about your main?

His laning phase is really weak in this very early oriented meta (winners are decided by 15) but if you win your lane you can win the game pretty much all by yourself. Oh and playing against Darius. One bully versus one late game champion, where both need to be in melee range to do something, but Darius will win pretty much all the trades.

What was your favorite moment playing them?

When he got a small buff on his ult (20 / 27.5 / 35% from 20 / 24 / 28%), I did play him a bit but I started playing him a lot more. He was really strong until the early season 6 patch :/ (rip Q on towers)

With the splitpush build, I was chomping the last 30% of a turret when a Garen came to defend. I got as low as 20% hp, then w+bork+ulted him, gained almost all my HP and killed him in the next 2 seconds.

I got a penta in delayed 2v5 with a friendly heimer, at around 18 minutes

I was ahead on my laner with triforce and titanic very early (20 minutes iirc) 3/0, missed maybe 10% CS. I roamed mid on the ziggs and once shotted him( r+f+aa+q+titanic)

If you could give your main one skin what would it be?

Pool Party Trundle (duh)

If you could make one reasonable change to your main's kit, what would it be?

Q works on turrets again :D Increase passive scaling by 1% at all levels to make laning a bit smoother Make the E slow by half the current value, but reduce the CD as well

So my main is Jinx (I know, not original at all), and I'm here to talk about why the loose cannon is my favorite champion in the game.

I finished hte last season with my best score being 9/1 on Jinx.

So...

Why I love Jinx

Jinx embodies a "balls-to-the-wall crazy" play style that I just love. Then you combine that with her crazy, outspoken personality and you get my polar opposite. Obviously I went straight for her. It's so fun running around, blasting away at enemies, throwing down traps, and causing mayhem.

It feels like it's going downhill, but suddenly Jinx has the passive, and that's another person killed, and suddenly she's set up an ace for the team! Whoo!

Gripes: I do wish she was more fleshed out. I get she'll probably grow as her lore continues, but she's just a blank slate really. People say that that "helps you connect" but it doesn't for me. I can connect to Warwick because I know what it's like to have tubes rammed into you. I resonate with Lux because I have the weird opinions and keep major personal secrets. Lux? SHe's just... there. She just blows stuff up.

Favorite moment was when I tower dived a fleeing enemy at low health, landed my w, got the kill and used the speed boost to run past hte turret and an ulting Vel'koz to safety.

She's already got the best skin in the game, Star Guardian, but I think I"d give her an Angel skin, to contrast with Demon Vi.

For a ship? Jinx is kinda hard to ship, but due to the Star guardian video I ship her with Lux. Also so that, in the unfolding lore I'll be making through my champ concept releases, I can have the throwaway line "crack ships, amirite?"

  1. How well did you finish last season?

Going by op.gg: 58 percent winrate over 159 games in ranked. Ended plat 5. This season I'm stuck at a 44 percent winrate because I'm either tilted or suck at the game. Idk. I have over one million mastery on this champion. https://gyazo.com/dcfeb45279aaa4e0300daf3d25ba5e28

This current season is terrible and it's why I haven't played ranked any. Stuck at gold 3 44% winrate with Diana.

  1. why do you love your main Nobody knows who she is. They'll call her broken when I delete them in half a second. She also has many tricks to master that people don't know how to counter or can't "RQ reset (which I've learned), R Flash Q reset, RQ flash reset, E flash displacement etc". I also connect with her because she's a night owl / the moon.That screams me in so many ways.

  2. Gripes about your main She's very useless in the jungle currently. It's due to the EXP changes and level 6 reliance for ganks. She's a better top laner than jungler now.

  3. Favorite moment while playing I've had several. My favorite moments are getting the RQ reset on ADC's and having them rage at me in all chat. The single best moment was getting a quadra kill with my Q in 2014.

  4. give one skin what would it be Since I have blood moon now, project Diana is on my "want" list.

  5. Ships? Diana x Leona (duh), gender bent Diana x Jayce (if she was a male), Diana x Ahri, and Diana x yasuo

  6. What reasonable change would you make I don't have any changes I'd want to make to her. An unreasonable change is wanting the old E pull radius back so I can enjoy a more tanky play style. Her current E is lackluster at best even with the most recent buff.

http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b430/bluemoonwolf8/Captureee_zpsriebqtp0.png (Couldn't find my win rate from last year, but I didn't play a lot of PvP outside of ARAM honestly)

What do you love your Main?

My main is a character with a lot of potential, both in game and in the lore. He is one of the most versatile champs there are and can adapt to numerous types of builds and metas. I don't think there has been one champ that has fared as well as he has since these class updates started to happen

What are your gripes about your main?

Right now he is pretty boring compared to all these new champs with new abilities in their kits. as stable as his kit is it just doesn't have the rewarding power that many new kits have. Right now he's pretty much all about his Ult and everything else is just pretty much there to keep him relevant in a teamfight. I'd like that to change.

What was your favorite moment playing them?

One match I played where we were falling behind and getting flamed by a team. then we entered a team fight. I Ulted the other team while our Xerath followed up with his Ult. He systematically killed every single enemy with my assistance through my ult and me following any survivors of the attack so Xerath could finish them. He got a Pentakill and we won the game. the flaming teammates exact reaction was "agagfwaceceawfcfrsdafas". His tune changed immediately after that and became complementary.

If you could give your main one skin what would it be?

Omega Squad. Honestly I'd be happy with just about anything that isn't another Journey to the West reference (he already has 4...), but I feel like the Omega Squad concept could really show him in that different light I've been looking for with his new skins. Plus, with the skin being a 1820 RP skin, he would get new animations and unique lines, which is the other main thing I'm looking for when it comes to his next skin.

Who do you ship your main with?

Ahri. I don't think of it as a relationship that should actually happen in the games lore. It wouldn't fit Wukong's character to be in a relationship, nor would it fit Ahri's (not to mention the angry fans). But I do like the ship as a non-canon thing.

If you could make one reasonable change to your main's kit, what would it be?

I'd make his Decoy more effective in some way. I don't know if it would reduce armor, deal extra damage based on how much damage it took while active or some sort of knock up that wouldn't fix the entire issue he has with his decoy, but somehow that decoy needs to be useful passed taking a few shots off of you for 1 second. atm there is practically no reason to invest points into it till late game. I'd like that to change. So pretty much just SOMETHING to punish an enemy for falling for his decoy.

How well did you finish Last Season on your main champion?

Diamond 5, too lazy to post stats, but nothing really amazing.

Why do you love your main?

Well, first of all, he's an underdog - and I always cheer for them. Little yordle with no magical power nor amazing technology nor inhuman (inyordle?) strength/abilities, he fights enemies using only his wits. His fantasy also translates well into the game, with his very simple kit that rewards strategic thinking rather than mechanical prowess. And he's just a cool character really. A cute, kind guy that transforms into efficient killer whenever on a mission to defend his homeland. Also, he's a meme - correction - The Meme (with capital M) of League. I know people who don't even play video games at all and they know who he is. Though, I feel like Riot focuses too much on The Meme part recently and people forget that he's a hero above all (not monser, demon, devil conceived by the bleakest womb as which they presented him recently (oh, and I don't mean only the Little Devil skin (which is cool), it goes a bit further back)).

What are your gripes about your main?

Voice lines. He's got 12 of them - and that's counting 3 laughs. This, and the general direction Riot seems to be taking with Yordles recently (basically making them a mythical creatures). Maybe also the outdated visuals, but that doesn't bother me that much (his model is so small anyways).

What was your favorite moment playing them?

Any moment when enemy team realizes he's more than just a meme. The moment when they start to respect his strength and even fear it.

Also, making enemy rage quit, that's fun too.

If you could give your main one skin what would it be?

Dandy, Debonair or Gentleman (in other words - a classy skin).

Who do you ship your main with?

Tristana, no doubt. Let's go with the most obvious and almost official one (I also feel like they fit together).

If you could make one reasonable change to your main's kit, what would it be?

A small AP scaling to his W, like 1,5% per 100 AP on the passive (so, 3% per 100 AP on active). Or maybe lower cd on active on higher ranks. Or maybe significantly higher boost on active but decaying. Something to make the W slightly better or more interesting to use.

Finally post your favorite image of your main

Don't have one, here's my favourite song about him though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOzavOPeuJQ

EDIT: Just to post some pic, I drew him (I'm no artist though): http://i.imgur.com/1ockDNy.png?noredirect

PS. I also wonder - when did you notice it was Teemo (probably early since I ain't really hiding it, just avoided using his name)?

#How well did you finish Last Season on your main champion?

https://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=gregor+gysi

Didn't dare to play Riven because I thought I was too bad. So I played Janna as she is very similiar to Riven in terms of playstyle.

#Why do you love your main?

It never feels like I am done with learning Riven, no matter what I do I still suck. That really motivates me to play her more and prevents getting tired.

#What are your gripes about your main?

No %true damage :( JK, the one thing that really annoys me is the BC change. It feels so awkward and takes so much power from my early game.. Also, MOAR SKINS. Riot please, Riven is the most important champ in the league, 1 skin every 6 months is the LEAST you can do.

#If you could give your main one skin what would it be?

Warring Kingdom Riven with clean animations and few but beautiful particles

#Who do you ship your main with?

Zac x Riven is basically canon, but Azir would be sweet.

Increase CDR cap to 50% <3

I once mained Yasuo long time ago. I stopped because the community is even more cancerous than the champ

AcidTheWarlock3/26/2017, 4:39:56 PM2 votes
  1. I'm awful on my main (Ryze), due to a combination of high ping, low FPS, and generally low skill, and OP.GG doesn't record norms from previous seasons, so I'd guess I have about a 40% winrate.

I don't play ranked and if I had a better setup I probably would, so I'm unranked. I only have mastery 4 from jumping around champions, but I still have a good bit of mastery points on Ryze. I'm also still relatively new, just joining a little bit before the MYMU and the actual Ryze update.

  1. I just love the machine-gun mage playstyle and having more mana than health. Ryze is short range, but his ult gives him so many possibilities and kiting is the one thing I can do (which is why I play a lot of Cassio, Azir, and Viktor when I play mid). Battle mages are really just my type of champs, with Vlad being my 3rd best champ, after Viktor. Ryze is simply one of the best choices if you want a late-game champ, being able to keep himself alive easily while dealing high damage.

  2. I really wish that Ryze had some high points. He doesn't have any moments of power, unlike Azir and Vlad when you know you're strong. After a certain point you just become unstoppable, but that's just like any normal champ. Old Ryze's passive was what made me like the champ at first and the reworked version just doesn't have that. Also, I very much dislike the new ult. I know it could be thematic and all, it's just not good.

  3. I just played vs a Garen in top and I made his life hell. Wasn't a great game but I shut him down for at least 20 minutes and I could do whatever I wanted.

  4. One skin would have to be a version where Ryze embraces the power of the World Runes and takes the power for his own. Something like Omnipotent Ryze would be cool. Ultimate, with him slowly becoming more godlike with each level.

  5. No ships. This guy's been alone for hundreds of years and his work doesn't really allow him to stay attached. He's had to kill his own friends just to save more that he'll never know. Ryze has no place for romance.

  6. One reasonable change would have to be to increase Overload and Spell Flux's cooldown slightly but give them damage back. I feel like that could really help the discrepancy between better and worse computers and slightly lower Ryze's skillcap, since he only approaches a 50% winrate at about Master tier.

  7. Image?

This one, I just love it. It just shows the forces Ryze has to fight and the power he struggles with.

Ivern and Irelia3/26/2017, 4:54:22 PM2 votes

How well did i finish last season http://i.imgur.com/kBFdxWz.png http://i.imgur.com/Fut8cLK.png http://i.imgur.com/h0NlfvS.png

I pretty much only played irelia last season due to the fact that ivern was released pretty late in the season, but as soon as he came out, i started maining him right away and took him to ranked

Why do i love my main(s) For irelia, it has to be her perseverance. Although she does have some pretty tough match ups, as long as you can outsmart your opponent you will often come out ahead (unless youre laning against a Malphite who rushed item 3110, then youre just going to have a bad time). Also the fact that she makes a damn fine jungler. Once i discovered that i could jg with her back in the beginning of season 5, that became my secret op role. Lastly i have to mention her Q. God do i love her Q. It feels so fluid. To me its a much more fair Yasuo dash. Using her q to successfully kill 2 or 3 minions to gap close to your enemy for so good.

For Ivern, Everything. Just everything. His lore, his playstyle, his golly nature, his kit, his skin, and most of all, HIS DIALOGUE. I LOVE EVERYTHING HE SAYS. His release had such a refreshing feeling to me.

What are my gripes about my main(s) For irelia, her ult and e. I feel that her ult mana cost is much to high for what it does. Low dmg (unless you build ap) and sub par healing (unless you build ap). But at the same time i can understand why it would have high costs considering how the rest of her kit has relatively low mana costs. And for her e, i just feel that its casting animation is too long and its sorta glitchy. There have been many many times where ive used the ability, the animation goes through, the sound plays, but no dmg happens and i die.

For ivern, his e and r nerfs. His e is a lot less impactful now and daisy is just.......terrible. Daisy feels down right useless now. She already does so little dmg, you have to build ap for her to do dmg, but most iverns dont build lots of ap, which i feel is a fair trade off, however the armor/mr nerfs plus the fact that she cant regen health now makes her feel so useless. And she dies as soon as ivern dies too.

What were my favorite moments playing them For irelia, it has to be the countless 1v3 outplays. For Ivern, this http://i.imgur.com/gfdE71F.png

What skin would i give them For irelia, it would be her long overdue surfer or skater skin. rito how have you not done this yet. Pantheon got his baker skin, Teemo got his devil skin, and Darius got his basketball dunking skin, where is irelia's surfer skin???

For ivern, i would love to seem him as the tree he cut down at the beginning of his story. Or even better, a sassafras

Who would i ship my main(s) with For irelia, i honestly cant see her with anymore. Shes too independent to rightfully ship her with anyone in my mind For Ivern, Lulu , platonically of course

**One reasonable change to their kit ** For irelia, nerf her For irelia, increase the mana cost for her W (Hiten Style) by 10 everytime you level it. I truly dont understand why the mana cost for such a strong ability is so low. 40 mana for 75 true dmg and double passive healing for 6 seconds is absurd.

For ivern, make the flowers/candy he spawns with his taunt last for the entire game. The rift needs more color For ivern, to make daisy feel more useful, give her a slight movement speed buff when ivern's shield is placed on her

Favorite image For irelia, I honestly cant pick between these two http://i.imgur.com/ftq3DZJ.jpg

How well did you finish last season with your main?

http://i.imgur.com/SMcYgU6.png[IMG] http://i.imgur.com/A3S8mxN.png[IMG]

Why do you love your main?

My family comes from Lousiana, and so a big-mouthed, slimy Cajun catfish excited me from the very first teaser. I fell in love with Tahm Kench because he is something wholly unique to League - in other games you can get half-dragons and dagger assassins and busty female mages (not to degrade any other champion communities, this is just part of the reason I think Tahm is so cool), but nowhere can I find a silver-tongued semi-aquatic bully with an affinity for fine food and headwear. The ability to dictate the flow of fights is fascinating to me (before Tahm came out, I played a lot of Shen and Vladimir because I liked their ability to force decisions on enemies), and Devour is such an amazing ability to be on a champion. I love his versatility, the ability to go full tank or bruiser or AD or AP - I love taking him top to fight tanks and carries alike and mid for hilarious oneshots and bot for making clutch plays. I like having options to toy with my opponents and ways to contribute even when behind. Tahm Kench resonates with me because he was not only hyped up and teased really well (which made me all the more eager to get my hands on him), but offers a decision-based complexity that few other champions can match. He's not mechanically difficult to understand in the slightest but the sheer amount of depth he brings to master is addictive and enticing. Finally, he has the best VO in the game hands down.

What are your gripes?

I hate how he just loses a lot of matchups bot lane by default and becomes a Devour bot most of the time. Because of how powerful ally Devour is, a lot of his kit has been stripped away over the years and he has become less and less enjoyable because. I'm not saying a lot of his nerfs were unwarranted, but it's frustrating to have your main only touched once in a year and even then have it be a huge net nerf that has yet to be addressed. I hate his huge hitbox and propensity to suffer from minion block and jungle changes, and I hate that he can't Devour buffs.

Favorite moment

Winning a 2v5 literally almost immediately upon release alongside a Jinx. Such a rush.

Any clutch save bot lane or double kill up top. Watching him getting picked top lane for the first time in the LCS and crushing a Rumble.

Skin ideas

Void Kench with an Alien-type aesthetic (tongue is a chest-burster). Bad Santa Tahm Kench with a flowing, scraggly beard and a coat that doesn't match. Blood Emperor Kench with a little red paper hat and Blood Moon robes. Candy King Kench made out of gummi. Gentleman/Debonair Kench, Leprechaun Kench, Vandal Kench. Destroyer of Worlds Tahm Kench as an ultimate skin where he works like Kirby and changes how he looks based on what he last ate.

Ships

None romantically, but possible victims I think would be interesting for his narrative include Yasuo, Veigar, Gangplank, and Taliyah.

Reasonable changes

Revert the E nerf, make W mana cost lower but scale up, but increase its cooldown if used on an ally. Perhaps give him a longer ult time for reactivation, or movement speed with an ally back. Ability to eat buffs. I have a lot of ideas for a bigger mini-update but those are some simple ones I've thought would help buff him a little.
