While everyone is waiting for Gnar I think I'm the only one actually waiting for the summoner's rift VU.

I would like that to come out, but I'm a little more excited about Gnar, and I'll probably be that way even when the Summoner's Rift VU comes out. lol

While everyone is waiting for the summoner's rift VU I think I'm the only one actually waiting for the 4 year long game engine update because adobe air is a pile of Urgot

4 years? i wouldn't be surprised if the Warwick visual update/rework (which was teased WAY too early) comes out around then. Got my hopes up for months Riot :( how much longer! full force on that project!

While everyone is waiting for Gnar, I think I'm the only one actually waiting for Ao Shin. I've been waiting for him for a loooooong time and as far as I know, he won't be out until at least February of next year.

I think you're right. You're must be the only LoL player in the entire world who is waiting on the Summoner's Rift VU. All of the countless time, effort, and money Riot has put into it is all for you.

Dude I cant wait for the walls to be changed. I'm so tired of my spells just knicking them and ruining everything because I hit a leaf!

If Gnar was in the game at the time of urf, would he be worthless because of the 60% resistance against dinosaurs?

Before I say what I'm going to say,

I love mspudding, I liked her before she came to riot when she worked at S2 for Heroes of Newerth. I wish we could have her announcer voice pack for LoL.

But,

Everytime I watch these vids I can't help but feel nervous and awkward for her. Instead of paying attention to the material I'm looking at her obviously nervous posturing which doesn't go with what she is saying at the moment. I hate being that guy to criticize I really do because I know if I was in her position it would be an even more awkward scene. I sincerely hope this is something that will improve in future patch rundowns and I only wish her good on that.

and I understand these guys aren't professional news anchors I just think it's something that needs to be worked on and felt it necessary to voice my observations. If I get downvoted for pointing that out so be it. summoner 3

I think the fact is that league content was never really suited to a talk show style. Mspudding is trying to host,interview and keep it all on track, it must be pretty hellish/awkward. I miss patch videos being informative. But now they feel needless, with too much focus on the "mlg" side of lol, which shouldn't be in a patch rundown.

I'm tired of not getting the facts out quickly and efficiently. I f they want a talk show, they should make one, and return to the format of the old patch rundowns.

Can I get a blue post on exactly why you are working so hard to make Rengar's ult pointless? Perhaps it's my lack of understanding of design, or perhaps it's my understanding of design, but the last 3? 4? patches to Rengar have been working hard at completely working against the point of his ultimate.

You complained that he was using his abilities to split push then stealth out of danger. So you chopped his ult and abilities up so they don't work on towers and he's much slower and can't escape reliably with it. Then you decided stealth was no good, so now they get warning he's there (why stealth at all?). Now it's completely idiot-proof, giving everyone within 2 screens warning that he's stealthed nearby.

Not only that, but he got the Nocturne treatment--you didn't add a few seconds to his ult window. It's now two and a half minutes. Junglers are now considered smarter spending their time trying to get to L11 for the shorter cooldown than ganking. So...yet another Shyvana / WW farm jungler that ignores lanes and tries to carry late. How...exciting.

I have no idea why blowing up squishies that are out of place is such a terrible thing, Rengar is an assassin and that's what he does. If you'd nerfed his ult and left it alone, at least he'd still be an assassin. Now when I see Rengar's portrait all I see is a gigantic police light on his head. HERE COMES AN ASSASSIN, BACK UP TO A TURRET & WAIT 10S UNTIL HIS ULT GOES ON 2.5 MIN COOLDOWN.

This will fix a lot of the "my q didn't go off" cases, and it's a non trivial buff in his dps output over time. This isn't the end, but it's what i can say is coming with certainty right now."

I don't get the nerf to Rengar... you literally just said it was dumb. If you nerf him, nerf him in a different way.... not in the way you literally have stated is dumb.

They really need to organize the champions in champ select more. Specific to roles.

You can search by role. If you type in "Fighter" or "Tank" those roles will pop up, as well as being able to search bu name.

Cool, cool now were is my THIRD new champion this year... -.-

Cryih5 votes

Let's see, Vel'Koz came out in February, Braum came out in May. So, Gnar, the third champion this year, will be out some time during this patch. All you gotta do is be patient, and learn to count better.

Again, Mini-Gnar plushie. Give it to me.

"Kog'maw's a staple pick". In what tier? I rarely ever see a Kog'maw other than my own, nor have I ever seen a Kog banned this season. I'll admit he needed a nerf (But not to his already terrible mobility) but don't make some kind of lie to further justify you neutering him.

MrMugglez4 votes

He is in competitive, solo queue is be different because people don't communicate at the same level as a team all on voice comms. I feel the only reason he isn't picked in solo queue all the time is because of his lack in mobility and reliance on positioning, make him easy targets for any good jungler, and/or mid laner, when solo queue mentality rarely focuses on peeling for adc's.

JustPreston3 votes

Thank you for having the decency of giving your opinion in a logical format rather than try to sound smart for a few seconds. I still don't see him in higher tier games that often (Platinum 2 a below), although he is there occasionally. I can agree with you on the mobility issue, MS is a god factor to me and it can make a champion a complete turn off, so much so that I had outfitted a personal MS runes page for kog (Still slow though). He is certainly a power house though, but can be obliterated if a single assassin gets to him.

While everyone is waiting for all these things I'm just thinking... Can't you just be patient? It will happen when it happens and Rito wants everything to be perfect when it's released so they don't have to change it for a while.
