Upcoming Asol buff: Place your bets!

Hi guys
With an Asol buff being announced to land in the next patch, I thought it could be interesting to have a discussion on what you think those buffs will be.
Let's split your answers into two parts:

  1. What you think the buff will be
  2. What you hope the buff will be

I think we can rule out these changes being bug-fixes although that would be awesome.
But if I recall correctly they haven't listed those as buffs in the past, but rather under adjustments.

So for my best guess:

  1. I think the buff will be an AP% increase on his Q. To me that would make a lot of sense, in terms of making AP feel more valuable on Asol.
  2. I hope it relates to skilling W and E. Right now skilling Q makes a huge difference, whereas leveling W doesn't do a lot and level E does even less. I would love if they made this choice more impactful.

What are you guesses and hopes?

Thoughts on Karthus bot in 26.16

I've been enjoying playing Karthus bot lately.
But what are your thoughts on Karthus bot in 26.16?

To summarize these are the high-level changes Riot has announced:

To summarize, the main highlights are:
- Nerf to supports early roaming ability (via quest)
- Buffs to "some adc tools" such as berserker's greaves and Fleet.
- Buffs to adc flat MR, but nerf to MR growth. (to make them stronger vs mages early).
- Buffs to heal.

The only thing I really think could impact Karthus bot significantly is his early all-in potential with the increased MR on ADCs, but otherwise I think Karthus will remain one of the more viable Mages bot, as he's not really one of the mages that jumpstarted the roaming support playstyle.

Thoughts?

What is this sub-reddits opinion on the upcoming solution for ADCs in 26.16?

Hi guys

What are your thoughts on Riots planned solutions for the mage-situation in bot lane?

To summarize, the main highlights are:
- Nerf to supports early roaming ability (via quest)
- Buffs to "some adc tools" such as berserker's greaves and Fleet.
- Buffs to adc flat MR, but nerf to MR growth. (to make them stronger vs mages early).
- Buffs to heal.

And then some other undisclosed stuff.

Essentially Riot don't want to make mages unviable bot, but they seem to want to combat the current meta where mages enables the roaming support playstyle, while also makes the early game for ADCs stronger vs mages.

At first glance, are you satisfied with this solution?

EDIT: I couldn't initially find any post regarding this patch-preview, but after making it found one.
I may delete this thread if deemed unnecessary

How are you feeling about Asol these days?

Hi guys

Just wanted to do a temperature check to gauge if it's a me-issue or rooting in something else.

I'm an ASOL OTP but this last month, I just haven't been feeling the same power radiating from our favorite stardragon.
Sure I'll still have those amazing games, where I incinerate everything and everyone, but recently I feel like I've had just as many games where I'm fully build, with big stacks and just not able to close out the game.

I can't put my finger on what it is.. If it was the DFT change, greater changes in the meta or if I just lost my mojo.

Has anyone else been feeling like this? :D

▲ 15 r/Xpeng

Just bought an Xpeng g6. Will I regret this choice?

Hi guys
I just bought an Xpeng G6 standard range, that I'm set to receive 3 weeks from now!
I'm super excited to get the car, but today I've been reading how Xpeng is about to release a the new L03 in Europe soon.
As I understand it I can essentially get a car that can drive longer and is fully compatible with the upcoming VLA 2.0 once it becomes legal in Europe, which the G6 is not.

So yeah.. Now I'm wondering if I bought the G6 at a really bad time?
Just wanted to hear peoples thoughts.
