Patch 8.22 notes

Are we seriously still doing nothing about that ARAM bug where emotes don't work? This has been going on for quite a while now and I'm seeing other people post about it a lot, but for some reason this hasn't even been acknowledged.

I think one of the main reasons why people prioritize coin over relic is because the coin doesn't involve interactions with your teammates while the relic involves you having to allow the gracious gods that are your teammates allow you to last hit a minion.

Near mid to late game there is a terrible problem where the allies don't let the supports last hit minions and you see adcs and midlaners burn their entire spell rotations and last hit cannon minions without acknowledging the supports walking up to it. Even if you tell your teammates to stop it they will continue doing it, even if they have complete builds. I had cases where people would literally use their ultimate to clear a wave before I get near one minion and they just tell me they want the gold fast and dont want to wait for me :/

Let your supports have income too! They have to buy items to support you and relic doesn't take away ANY gold or even CS/Minute from anyone. Otherwise don't complain if the support on your team is underleveled and can't do much in the game because you starved them of income and experience points.

No kaisa or irelia nerf? lol seems like you really listen to your players huh?

Time warp isn't even a rune now.

Really would like to see anything for Katarina but decent patch

So, Riot, when in the hell is 's shroud not going to let her tower dive you and not have her take any tower hits. Towers LITERALLY give TRUE sight and you cant even see her in her shroud. It's like the old Rengar Ult where he was invisible right next to you and all you had was a exclamation point. Really shitty and not much counterplay unless you enjoy completely zoning yourself every 15 seconds.

Really not digging the Pyke changes, you have to build a ridiculous amount of lethality to retain your old values. You shouldn't be forced into having to buy Yoummuus and Duskblade every game to be useful, unless they're releasing lethality boots in preseason this just seems like too much.

Just so I understand, someone please correct me otherwise, now there's realistically only one way to build pyke to render hits kits damage output useful throughout the game? I think we will be seeing more mid pykes being played..

We are all dying (literally) for an nerf

So when are you bringing the fun modes (nexus blitz) back?

I thought one of Riot's core game philosophies was choice: the opportunity for players to customize and choose how they want to play the game. This Pyke change is completely contradictory to that goal; I can't believe this went through. This change is enforcing lethality Pyke (in which there are literally only 3 items for him to choose) while hard nerfing all other options. Riot is basically saying: "We want you to ONLY play Pyke as a lethality assassin and any other variations will be voided by this nerf." They put lethality scaling on 3 abilities. Why? Why would you have to deviate Pyke from normal champions by making his scalings based off lethality?

I understand Riot's goal of trying to keep Pyke away from the Tank build, but if you wanted him to be played as an assassin with risk, why wouldn't you just increase the AD scalings and lower the bases as an incentive for damage builds. This would make it so he's still dependent on damage, but isn't reliant on lethality. You can just as easily make phantom undertow's stun and ghostwater dive mms scale based off AD.

Lethality is such a BAD stat for Pyke as a support. The stat is literally level scaling armor pen. LEVEL. The support role is almost always the lowest level in the game. People didn't like going lethality on Pyke because it is by its nature one of the worst stats for the support position. This change removes the distinction of Pyke as an assassin support. He'll likely just be played in other roles or not at all. As a support, he'll only be feast or famine.

This makes me really sad as both a Pyke main and a player. The champion that I found to be interesting and very rewarding to play, albeit he was overpowered and did deserve nerfs of some kind, is now gutted in his distinct role. What's even worse is that this gives me even more distrust of the balance team since they are willing to force players to abide by how they want the game to be played. What if we see mages that are forced to build magic pen or marksmen be forced to build only attack speed.

I really want to love this game since I've played it for so long and have met so many friends through it, but this is seriously a heart dropper.

That is one stupid looking Graves Skin LMFAO

Can you guys consider to fix the voice chat issue after the new macbook updates? I know there are not many mac users but still, lots of people have countered this issue.

My game has completely crashed so many times ever since the implementation of 8.21, and it's happening to a number of other individuals as well but not a single peep from Riot about it. I have talked to support about it and essentially was told to "fuck off it's not our problem." The only solution to the game completely crashing is restarting my computer and that means I am out of the game for 5-10 minutes, and that's awful in a team-based game.

I think that's not gonna affect Viktor Top as long as he still max Q 1st, to nerf " Top Viktor" you need to target his Qs cooldown, shield and ms then slightly buff his E.

So uhhh, anyone else think the victor nerf is a little out of touch..? I think a better nerf would have been to the Q shield but maybe damage nerfs are fine

we have less than a week and youre disabling ranked for this garbage update? keep giving me reasons to divorce this company. Your decision making is so poor...

Buff Taliyah, or rework her passive and R. they actually cripple her and hurt teammates, and her passive either needs a higher mvmt speed or needs use in combat.
