From a dev, "If you play a champion with a ground-targetted jump effect, you should find that jumping over a wall is slightly easier than it used to be.
Previously, if you clicked on the center of a wall, your jump effect would stop in front of the wall. Now it attempts to be slightly more smart about jumping over walls."
some handicap for the noobs XD. Maybe they'll add this to flash in the future.

Those abilities can be kind of buggy sometimes though, so I mean I sort of see why they should make that change

Uh.. so they posted all that lore stuff about how this guy has shown up at random battles throughout history and rallied the losing side together, turning them into ridiculous warriors and causing them to emerge victorious, and then he is revealed to have this generic as ***movelist that doesn't reflect his lore at all?
It seems like he might be fun to play, but his abilities are so bland. Riven Q, Xin Zhao/TF W, Lulu E, Riven R and another "lol I'm not really dead" passive. Really disappointed, I expected something considering all the lore Riot presented.

go make a moba and make 100+ champions with abilities and skill sets that are entirely unique to one person that's not a derivative of some skill/ability that' already implemented in the game

yeah, and the whole health cost for spells was a morde thing too (right right)

You guys are misinterpreting what I said.
I'm not upset that all his abilities are essentially copied from other champs. There are over 100, it's to be expected to have a little overlap (all 4 abilities and passive is more than a little, though).
I'm disappointed that they made this champion out to be a certain way in the lore, and then threw that straight into the trash and decided to make him a generic melee carry. Riot could have done something unique with this champion, and instead they re-purposed 4 abilities from other champions and called it a day.
By volkom 2013-05-10 18:58:38
exactly my point. Riot is at a point where coming up with new unique abilities and skillsets are hard.

I just logged on and got the teamwork ribbon.... What? They lowered the requirements again/there is an icon coming with it.

Really disappointed, I expected something considering all the lore Riot presented. At this point all they can do (few exceptions aside) is take things that already exist and give them new properties.
I'm enjoying it though. They can't give Riven's Q certain properties as it would be broken? Let's make a new character with it! I like (kinda like SF with Ryu, Ken, Sean, Sakura, Akuma, Gouken who all have a similar moveset with very different properties and uses).
I would think there is potential need for communications that go beyond pings. Some concepts like "let's split push" or "everyone gather mid to push" or "they're building tanky" or "go in after I ult" or "my ult is ready in 20 seconds" don't seem to translate well through pings (yet.) :p It's true that people who are able to be concise can bring useful information, especially regarding the "ult @". It's precisely why I don't mute people no matter how toxic they can be, they may still have this kind of message to send.
But in the worst case, keeping an eye on the champions' icons for that greenlight is still an option, among other reminders. Just an example, I wouldn't advise to mute anyone in general unless if you really cannot stay calm and it just ruins your game (whether it is your ability to play or your pleasure).
Just that if for whatever reason you have to mute everyone, you're not suddenly out of the game/action and unable to play properly.

This little Frejlord fiasco drained me of some money, but that's it for now.
Still waiting on that Scorched Earth Renek~

Recently unlocked Elise. Man, she's pretty tricky to use...
Trying to get used to her skill set and figuring out what the best sequences are to duel against opponents. I'll get it eventually... slowly but surely... ;v;

Still waiting on that Scorched Earth Renek~ Only Shyvana interests me but I don't have the IPs to buy her yet :(
Disappointed by the Volibear skin.

I don't use Shyv very well myself. I'm used to champs that murder people in their way, or set up others to get the kill ala Rammus/Volibear, but Shyv doesn't have CC, and doesn't mow through enemies... so I can't quite figure out where she fits.

Her issue is that she's inferior to all other champions that do what she does. Some guy explained that he used her solotop to climb to Diamond and she had a niche, but with the powercreep she's not keeping up.

How's it work Mael? I don't even own Zyra but I'm curious.
Placed in Silver III yesterday. I think I'll actively try and rise through the ranks this time. I'm curious what my true ELO is, so to speak.

Unfortunately, the only thing I am going to have to quote, in order to try avoid stubborn troll picks (because they pick first), is the following:
Quote: Riot Socrates - If you refuse to communicate with your team and rely only on Pick Order to determine your role selection, you are still being a toxic player and this will reflect negatively upon you.

The thing is, what does communicate means to you? If it means that the guy has to rethink his decision, to change it, to bend to yours or any other member of the team, it's just as toxic as a guy refusing any decision. You cannot force someone to change his mind because you think that his choice is wrong. The only option you have is to dodge.
As soon as one of the 5 guys thinks that what he thinks is golden and will not be changed, you lose. It is extremely rare to find a team of 5 guys willing to talk things out. This is why pick order is the safest and most neutral way to solve the issue.
There isn't only one side to this topic, this Socrates isn't objective.

Oh I know, but what Socrates does mean is that you have to communicate when you are in champion select. It makes sense really. If you are first pick/second pick for example, and you want top / mid, do you just go and lock in a top / mid lane champ? You have to agree, you're begging to be countered against in Ranked matches if you do that...
And that's what I am worried about. I don't want to lose because some first picker guy wants to lane somewhere, locks in a champ, and does atrocious. It's not very fair. :/
I have no prob if someone wants to top or mid if they are first pick, but please use the trade / swap champions function...
I don't want them to lock in without discussion and using the "Pick Order matters Riot said so" excuse. You know?
EDIT: Oh and what communication means to me is talking about the role that you want to play, and if you can swap champions with someone to avoid getting counterpicked, if you should be swapping. It increases your rate of success of winning your game after all. Didn't answer that before lol

Tl;dr it mostly effected heimer and elise before, Yorick u.qltimate and I guessA D malz. 15% extra damage for those pets and now Lyra plants are included. Btw runic bulwark buffs pets too along with both effecting minions.

Has anyone here at least given this game a try or plays it? I enjoy it a lot for what it's worth. It's a MOBA-style game and it's completely FREE unless you want to buy skins(merely aesthetic) for champions. All the champions are well-balanced and can be purchased with Influence Points earned from matches.
