What is your favorite combat mechanic?

i know many cares more about aesthetics or lore but i think combat of this game is the real MVP. Thanks to passives from ability trees and items, there are so many cool synergies and build to do.

I lost interest in the standard combos after realizing they lack secondary effects and all deal the same type of damage. While you *can* customize them using companion armor—creating combos that freeze, heal, cover a wider area, and so on—I decided to focus on "critical" combos. They aren't officially named that, but that’s essentially what they are: setups where our abilities (or our companions') deal extra damage.

I then looked into cooldown reduction builds, given that cooldowns are quite long (unless the ability costs resources), and that’s where things get really fun. Aside from being able to chain combos constantly with Davrin (since *Death from Above* and *Helm of Light and Shadow* both cut cooldowns by 50%), I love the tactic of using two mages with Slow Time spell. If you use the upgrade that cuts companion cooldowns by 25% and combine it with the ability's innate 20% reduction, you hit a total reduction of 45%. Plus, using a Saboteur Rogue gives you a passive ability that reduces allies' cooldowns by 50% whenever you perform a takedown (while also triggering *Rally Party*). Basically, with a build focused on takedowns (making them easy to pull off) you can keep fighting while the fight is in slow motion. And if you use the sword that reduces allies' cooldowns during *Rally Party*, it becomes even easier.

What about you? Which mechanics or synergies did you find the most fun?

Poppy and Gaglio need their classic skin now

They are very very different, and i don't care much about aestetics but animations are too different.

I tested Poppy more and the auto attack reset with Q is extremely slow. i suppose it's because of the modern model. Attacks also seem out of synchro

First attack does damage right before the hammer hits the target, then the second attack generates damage when she's still charging

I'll make new tests when (If) classic skin will be available

PS: Galio without g, how do edit title?

Did you get random runes with pass?

i'm just curious to know if you use this feat

i'm not doing because i don't like to have unwanted runes in my inventory. Am i the only one?

it would be nice if we could sell back runes for a very small amount of IP (20% of the cost)

New runes are out but there must be a mistake....

This is the list of (some) quintessences compared to the original ones

  • AP: 4.95 ---> 5
  • Arm: 4.26 ---> 4.3
  • AS: 4.5% ---> 4.5%
  • CDR: 2.5% --->2.5%
  • Energy: 5.4 ---> 6
  • Gp10: 1 ---> 1
  • HP: 26 ---> 26
  • HP%: 1.5% ---> 1.5%
  • HPreg: 2.7 ---> 1.5
  • Mana: 37.5 ---> 38

Many are the same or just got rounded but HPreg runes have been almost halved. Why?

2.7 was already not great overall but better than other things for some champions and specially against some champions (poke). But at 1.5 they are not worth at all in any situation.

Armor (against physical damage) or HP (against magical damage) is just better at this point, even against poke champions, not to mention they are much worse against "all-in" champions

Auto attack doesn't work

At least for me. teste in custom game. Standing close to minions, Twisted Fate wasn't attacking

Created a custom of modern league. Auto attack was working, using the same champion

i don't know it's global but or if it's limited to some champion/rune/masteries/other..

I never watched The OC: would i like it?

is it similar to Gossip Girl?

i usually not into this kind of shows but i liked Gossip Girl because characters there were a lot of subterfuge secrets betrayals and digs....

I like teen drama i watched a lot but i don't more than love dramas

i watched Smallville that is clearly about your Clark Kent

i watched Veronica Mars and she's a detective

i watched The Vampire diaries and there is all the supernatural world

i watched Pretty Little Liars and there is murder mistery

i mentioned Gossip Girl at beginning because i think it could be the more similar....

I tried to watch Dawson's Creek but it was boring....too standard.

Shortcut behavior has changed

The shortcut for League client used to bring me directly to it opening but immediately closing to tray the Riot client

The shortcut has the properties

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Riot Games\Riot Client\RiotClientServices.exe" --launch-product=league_of_legends --launch-patchline=live"

but recently it just opens the Riot client

i don't know if this is important but Riot logo was in white with the first under the writing. Now it's in glittery green and the fist is on the left

Does it happen for anyone else?

Rog Cetra Open questions

Since the price i high for me i want to be sure about some things

- Is battery life really 16 hours? even 14 would be enough. i'm speaking of connection with dongle + NO Anc (i don't need it) + NO immersion (i don't know if i need it)

- How do i secure them to my ear? are they somewhat rigid so that you bend them and they keep that position? both to adapt the arc to my ear and to put the speaker part closer to the inside

- is there a software for PC? i don't want to use the phone to change settings

- this is just curiosity: i read there is 2,4 ghz dongle but i also read that it uses LC3+ codec...wait...LCR is a BT codec. BT and 2,4ghz connection are 2 different things. 2,4 has 0 latency (maybe 1-2ms) and LC3+ has 20ms that is still good but it's not the same thing. Can anyone clarify this point?

Thanks

They don'ìt want us to buy (and test) runes

They keep balancing champions, something that is not important at this point, but the chance to buy IP with the pass is still bugged. I have to think that they don't want us to get more IP to buy runes

Please Riot fix the pass rewards

Put them in order

Clearly noone understood what i wrote. maybe it was bad english from me, i thought

"Put them in the order you would like them to be released"

was a clear request to make something like

  1. Irelia
  2. Akali
  3. Poppy
  4. Galio
  5. etc etc until 10

More champions. how?

Until now (since the announcement) i was thinking "ok only 60 champions then they will add the others. 20 + 10 + 15 after some time. But now i was thinking Wouldn't it be a Classic thing to do if they add a new champion every 3-4 weeks like it was at beginning of our adventure? part of the fun for me was to wait for the monthly new champion.

So Would you rather have new champions added in groups so there is more chance to get the one you want (if it's still missing) but with big intervals between these new additions or it's better to have 1 champion at the time but with more frequent releases?

I need this visual change, not for aesthetic reasons

Minions projectiles are killing my eyes. i'm old. i have problems with eyes. not because i can't see, this is normal when you age (i'm 47) and i can still see decently without glasses to play, but i have problems with shiny things, high contrast etc. In the long run, if I have to concentrate on bright things, my eyes get tired and I can't see the areas where there is too much light very well anyway.

When there are many minions firing to each other i can barely see their HP bar (i mean the ones that are taking 2-3 projectiles at the same time or if the projectiles pass over them directing to a minion behind them).

I obiously tried to play with settings, like i always do to reduce contrast, even if the visual is not the best, but nothing makes those projectiles less annoying.

Is there a way i can contact riot directly? i know they won't make a big change just for me but maybe they give me a solution. I would pay for a skin of those projeciles, not even the whole mionions (season 4 changed projectiles that are more similare to S5 big update)

Or maybe do you know if i can apply a custom skin? not for PBE but for when Classic will be released

What version of the summoner's rift is this?

I'm trying to understand which map they took for League Classic. It's hard to find info about the versions of the summoner's rift. Not because i can't find anything but because there are different version of the story

So AI tells me that there are 3 main versions

  • 2009-2012
  • 2012-2014
  • 2014-Now (ok there are the changes made 2 years go but i care more about the earlier versions since we talke about Classic)

i also found this

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/bufx3m/its_hard_to_believe_that_the_new_summoners_rift/?sort=new

that seems confirming things BUT i tried to watch the Darius Patch that should start the second Era of the map, and it's not like the one we have now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sVapQ3Hb6o

The shop is the same, while i found that before this version there was a violet creature

The ground in base is the same too. Lerger bricks

Bottom lane is similar but some details on terrain don't match

Same for mid lane (look ad the flowers)

Top lane has a totally different rock. In the video it's green and with trees.

Finally this access to the jungle from river is very different, not giving vision towards the bush between red buff and drake

The bushes are also different, with less dense vegetation, and the colors in general are also different. In the video, the shade of green is more emerald, and instead of the brown we have in the game, it's darker green (as if the grass were wet).

Veigar

i never played veigar much , specially before rework since it came out after "only" 2 and half year i started playing (and it took time to unlock everything at beginning)

i remember Event Horizon was instant, then they added this delay.

In Classic there is still a delay but much shorter than actual game.

Was there a time when his E was like in the Classic mode or is it new?

I didn't remember these 2 things

1 how big are minions projectiles. They distburb me. They make farming harder. i'm not used to those big spheres...

2 how few items were in the game. Are they going to add more? Really, for adc there is no choice if you want 100% critical chance.

Fastest way to get to Alexa voice command (listening mode) on smartphone?

On smartphone i'm trying to understand which is the fastest way to use a voice command. so far i found 3 different ways but they all requires so many clicks

  • Click side button (or double click screen) ----> Give fingerprint (if i'm lucky i don't need to use the sign) ----> Open alexa app clicking desktop icon ----> Enable voice command saying "alexa" ----> give command
  • Click side button (or double click screen) ----> Give fingerprint (if i'm lucky i don't need to use the sign) ----> Scroll down 2 times on the desktop -----> Click on Alexa icon in the quick settings ----> give command
  • Long press side button ----> Give fingerprint (if i'm lucky i don't need to use the sign) ----> Click on mic icon ----> Give command

The third method requires one less step but i don't like to have to click on a small icon (mic) to enable voice control. How can i open the same version of Alexa i open when i click on the widget? that version is already in listening mode and i just have to talk.

PS: it seems i asked the same thing last year (i didn't remember) but i haven't found the second way yet. So maybe there are others or there is a way to make me open with side button the version i open in the quick settings.

Rewriting season 7 and 8

This is not about seasons 7 and 8 are bad bla bla bla...

If you could choose to dedicate season 7 to the war between Dany/Jon and Cersei OR the war against the White walkers, leaving the option you don't choose to Season 8. what would you choose? Which plotline would you end first? Which makes more sense to end first?

I would have chosen the "internal" war for season 7, and White walkers for season 8

Of course in season 7 there would have been somthing from white walkers too and in Season 8 some political choicese like the one to who is the king when everything is over.
