League sux but I figure you guys would be interested in this, I guess.

Way too cartoony.

Looks like Dawngate. Also, how did you already not find League cartoony Dem0n?

I did, but this new look makes it look even more cartoony than before. It doesn't look as textured to me as it was before.

Speaking of Dawngate. Moved to Dawngate anyway. League sux anymore.

That look reminds me of Dota2, and I'm not really a fan of Dota2's style. I actually liked the vibrant colors in League.

They put it in the pbe to see peoples reactions. Afaik the lanes are as vibrant as ever and they just made the jungle cooler.

Seriously, the new League shit looks like Dawngate does. Also, dat dawngate.



We should make a topic about it. :<

I don't know how I won a ranked game with that Twitch. He had 14 cs at 18 minutes and rushed hurricane.

fite me 1v1

Now this is why you should never surrender till the nexus drops. We were behind the entire time but a couple for well timed teamfights and great focus won us the game.

That's one of the larger reasons League keeps me coming back. No matter how bad we're doing, there's always a chance you can turn it around. I don't feel that way with most other MOBAs (and don't recall ever accomplishing it), but maybe that's just because I haven't given them a good enough chance.

In other news, Ascension was extremely over-hyped. I was expecting some grand new mode. Just another (albeit slightly interesting) one-off.

Five new icons I'll never use are kinda nice, though.



That Perfect Ascension icon was a pain to get. The game I did get it was so bloody close that we audibly cheered at the end, as it was one move from winning or losing it. In the end, we won because I poked and distracted the entire enemy team, preventing them from getting 1 relic while my team took on Xerath right behind me. The end was 4 points from the goal for each team. If they got a relic, all they'd need to do is turn on me and destroy me to get the last point. But we killed Xerath for the 5 points in the end. The last few seconds were very tense.

After that, we proceeded to go into a Summoner's Rift game, everyone sporting the icon and using the same champion we had during that match.

I want to try to get back into League, but haven't played since early Season 2. Any tips or things I should be aware of when I start playing?

always get a trinket (free ward/ward scanner), phage is too expensive for early game, life steal and attack speed are less effective, yi can't ap, lotsa characters with jumps

Any notable items removed or added? And wut's a trinket?

Something you could call a notable item. It was implemented to take some of the pressure off the supports warding the map by giveing everyone a free trinket that can grant/prevent vision of an area.

Also note sight-stones (3 wards per back, 5 if upgraded) are good for supports, lee, and anyone else who places a lot of wards (over 11 while you have it, and factor in the menu cost of not having other items when you decide to get this) if you're not a support/lee, taking up an inventory space like this can be cumbersome late-game so you probably want to rely solely on your warding trinket as your build's finishing up.

Icebourn Guantlets are a big one, if you use a spell, your next basic attack will create an icy field around your target slowing them and others nearby as well as inflicting extra damage.

Aegis of Legion was reworked, it now has an upgraded version, the upgraded versions active grants a shield for your allies.

There are numerous ways for supports to get gold now, look under gold income; Talisman of Ascension (final version of Ancient Coin) provides a substantial speed boost to you and nearby allies, very useful for quick escapes/engaging someone mildly out of position/getting to a fight that started without you.

There are some fun items like Runaan's Hurricane which gives a huge attack speed boost and fires a 50% physical damage shot to two extra enemies when you hit one. Really only useful if you have a ranged attack with passive on-hit effects (YAY TEEMO!) and benefit from attack speed.

Ravenous Hydra is great for bruisers with its on-hit AOE passive, high damage, and reasonably high life steal.

Oracles elixir was removed you'll be hardpressed if you need continuous invis reveal but getting a trinket that drops vision wards (now visible to enemies) helps, especially if you drop it during a fight with Akali.

I'm probably forgetting a lot of important things but hopefully this helps.

Like those :3
