So, anyone playing League of Legends?

Shouldn't be of surprise to anyone but graphs are always cool.

Before and after Shen buffs.

Sorry I insulted your precious gay anime lover.

Oh wait, I'm not because I'm tired of dealing with bad Ezreals.

In their darkest hour Ulminati and SV formed an alliance of utmost desperation.

btw the Kwan thing has always been a joke, as I've mentioned at least 3 times.

Well, there's currently a 1900 player on his smurf streaming around 1700 playing as Jungle Evelynn as much as he can get away with it, and when his team doesn't troll him he typically does really well. Basically he abuses her (still) stupid strong ganks early game. I'm not entirely sure how it could be pulled off in tournament play, but I'm sure that if someone paid M5 enough money they'd figure it out.

And yes, I realize what I said about M5 is a bit of a strawman, but really, has a pro team put forth the effort to make evelynn viable? No, because it's too situational to invest their time into.

New champion sneak peek has arrived:

I can tell it's a photoshop because it's impossible to have double digits in deaths when playing JANNA.

Woah there! How can you call yourself a true LoL-player if you don't blame lag, hacks, team mates, enemy sexual preference, their inability to 1v1 you, your keyboard not working, 'tryharding' in normal games, everyone's mothers' sexual activity, bugs, OP champions, the jungler, the moon's relative position to Earth, the sun getting in your eyes, everyone's assumed lack of social life outside of LoL, how much Riot favors people who buy loads of RP, the 'meta' screwing you over, match-making, russians / polaks, the french, and how extremely lucky it is that they crit with +50% crit chance?

You've obviously never played her support for a katarina against kennen/taric.

I already know it. It's decent up until the 20th second when it starts being shit.

.... This logic assumes the game is perfectly balanced, which it is not.

Late game.

Also tbh I didn't realize I was saying anything controversial by pointing out that armor is easier to get than MR, I thought that was a p mainstream belief.... The most cost efficient MR item is the basic negatron cloak, and MR is the only stat where buying the basic item can be the most cost efficient solution to your resistance problems.

What, are you fucking r00fling me? You linked to one single game of Renekton being played, which proves nothing. I linked to hard statistics in a high-level tournament. Also, here is a link to pros playing twitch, I guess he is a top tier jungler now hue hue.

Regarding the mathcraft, it might be an overstatement to call it mathcraft but renekton loses out in a sustained damage fight vs a bruiser, the burst is easily countered for bruisers and for AD carries it is not enough to kill them even if they overextend enough to let him get to them

Another time...


In any case, renektons viability remains to be proven. So far he has has utterly underwhelming appearances in tournaments.[/quote]

Did you even check the links I provided? It's 2 recent tournaments, where Renek was picked plenty. As far as I know, no one has taken the time to do pick/ban statistics on the two tournaments, as IEM usually craves a lot more attention, due to the bigger scale. And honestly, I wont take it upon myself to do so, just to prove a simple point, if you aren't even gonna check the links I provide.

I believe it was you who started the "but pro's do/do not play him" argument, and now you're saying it's invalid. You claimed he wasn't played, I linked material that proved you wrong. You base everything on 1 tourney (although the biggest recent one), and evne a tourney on a patch before the nerfbat hit the most commonly played top lane, in an ocean of recent tourneys that you do not appear to have been following - I don't think we're on equal terms in this argument.

I agree, and if I've come across as trying to prove that he's top tier, OP material, I am at fault.

I assume by underwhelming appearance, you mean lack of appearance, which is hard to contest.



EDIT: Also, I don't think I've said anything that would lead you to believe that I disagree with armor being cheaper, I just made the comparison to show that it is by no means hard to get MR without gimping yourself.
I'm not sure why this was even brought up though, as this applies to Lee Sin, Riven, Olaf + Irelia (less so bc of true damage) and other AD top bruiser I may have missed as well as Renekton.

EDIT EDIT: CLG.eu vs. Fnatic in FnaticRaidcall tourney finals is on right now, Wickd has picked Renekton: http://solomid.net/livestream.php?s=1136

I never said he isnt.

Funnily enough, even though you give me shit randomly, I end up being one of the most open minded people in this thread.

People still arguing about Renekton?

Why isn't anybody butthurt Riot is about to release another bruiser with extremely original mechanics like a dash?

Has his kit been leaked?

Yes.

Passive - He gains MS as he keeps running.

Q - Dash + knockback everyone in line
W - Next basic attack is a pbaoe swipe
E - Some generic damage reduction thingy
R - Summons an ARMY OF SPECTRES!!!!























I will be truly amazed if this prediction is not true

I don't know, they might get creative, there's still a lot of cool ability mechanics to copy from DotA/HoN.

But anyway, they should release some more versatile supports, there are way too many bruisers already. I predict another Sejuani/Vollybear that nobody plays after two weeks.
