League of Legends - F2P MOBA (like DOTA) part 2

[RPD]

Regarding Kat, she sure seems more fun and satisfying to play. But I don't play competitively, so I'm not sure if she stacks up.

So Alienware gave out codes for Master Yi + his Samurai skin today, it was a freaking fire sale. Their website crashed countless times.

How it usually is for Alienware key giveaways, looks like they'll be adding more tomorrow at some random time so I might check in every once in a while to see if I can't get the skin.

Regarding Kat, she sure seems more fun and satisfying to play. But I don't play competitively, so I'm not sure if she stacks up.

She is quite a bit more fun since now you don't have to choose which ability gets the special effect, and the W's movespeed bonus has saved me multiple times already. Her ult has less base damage than her old form but it delivers it faster and has improved scaling so it gets pretty crazy rather quickly. She's more powerful now overall than her old form, that's for sure.

While I don't follow the competitive seen terribly closely I heard that initially the "pros" didn't like the Kat remake and have quickly warmed up to it.

Malphite is the accepted counter. I honestly know of no others. Maybe Yorick.

I rush philo stone and wit's end against Jax. Get him to use his e on you then stun him and w/auto + q chase and you should win the fight or at least come out even. You really just want to be careful and farm as much as possible till lane phase is over.

 

[krnmastersgt]

Nunu works wonders against Jax for the most part, he can jump to you but once you destroy his move and attack speed then he's rather stuck. Malphite is certainly one decent counter too however if Jax gets a decent lead Malphite can't actually do anything to Jax except not die. Nasus also works vs Jax relatively well however it's not an easy lane, same for Fiora.

Jax has a ton of counters up top, like all the mages can easily harass him into submission early game, or anyone with a decent attack speed slow can also effectively take him on.

I think Riot is just getting lazy now...

Refund function just introduced into the PBE, that'd be pretty nice to have for those purchases you regret.

When you say refund, is it just for IP or RP too? LOL this goes against the Pokemon mentality. Does not compute!!

 

[crownjules]

Wow, that's very surprising. Is there a limit on how much/often it can be used? I know in the past you had a one time shot at emailing support for a refund.

 

[Kabob]

Well the screenshot says "1 of 3 uses" so I'd assume it's the same deal, this time without having to deal with customer support. No clue if there's a time frame requirement either, it may be "within the past month" or who knows.

It might be quite related to the fact that CR reps can refund up to 3 items, although all in 1 transaction. I'd like it if I got more refunds though so I can get rid of Heimer and some other champs I don't particularly care for. Well if it ever makes it to the live servers anyways lol.

 

[Kabob]

Pretty funny watch. This guy's brother and his brother's best friend have never seen LoL so he has them shoutcast his game.

Big Morde change coming...and by big I mean they're giving him a larger model.

I'll admit I've always felt he was way too small.

 

[krnmastersgt]

I also agree he's always felt a bit too small.

Anyone going to try to grind out higher ELO? I'm going to try to get myself above plat before the season ends around Oct 13.

 

[Maleficus]

there is no above plat, newbbbbb

 

[krnmastersgt]

They'll make a new ranking just for me!

Super Plat here I come!

Where you at? I've recently started playing ranked again digging myself out of my grave I created when I was dodging trolls (before I realized they take rank for that). I'm 2 games shy of even, and still under 1200

 

[krnmastersgt]

Well just broke 1600 a few hours ago, I don't have that many games under my belt this season (79 so far, trolls are OP making me lose placement matches ).

And I have a smurf 30 that I helped get Mal out of ELO hell with, I'd be more than happy to duo with you on that if you needed help doing the same as the sheer amount of troll at <1300 is still amazing to me lol.

 

[Maleficus]

this kid, we helped EACH OTHER. no credit up in this place.

 

[krnmastersgt]

I don't see how it helped me to rank up my smurf sir. I played on that purely to get you up and out of there, so no credit due!

 

[Firsttime]

It's all that 1300 elo practice. Really improves the gameplay.

 

[ImpulsE69]

My god, more game play changes.

"Hi, we're riot. We have no hope of making a remotely balanced game, so we'll just make major changes to random champs every other week to keep you on your toes."

Diana is so damn strong. So so strong,
