Good point, hadn't thought about that.

Although I suppose you could take it as "The Moon's Scorn" or whatever...ya know...towards others.

We've been having some fun with ranked 5's. Got a solid little team with myself, Prizmm, Fenix, Maleficus and Canadian. Haven't had a real challenging game yet through placement. All I have to say is Amumu+Oriana is some seriously good stuff.

Anyone else have old favorite champs that just aren't commonly used anymore (or ever for some) because they're not viable, or rather not seen as viable?

I've been playing a few Nasus games lately since I still love him as a champion but we don't see him anymore as he wasn't as flashy as some newer top champs as they came out, then they just got overwhelmingly stronger to the point where he can't effectively fight many of them. That aside I haven't lost since I've been using him, he is still the epitome of "bruiser" since he can build straight tank and dish out a ton of damage with decent Q farm. His greatest weakpoint is probably up to level 7 where many top laners can beat him, but I seem to still be able to hold lanes and Wither is still an excellent counter to get out alive.

And once he starts getting lots of Q farm and a few items (like a quick-ish T-Force) he can start seriously snowballing. He's not really a super viable pick but I don't seem to have trouble making him work well enough. Sucks having to deal with someone who's role is countered by AD's when his W is the ultimate anti AD after all

If you guys are on tonight, maybe we can scrim? That could be a lot of fun. Ranked team 5s is so much better than solo queue in my book it's not even funny. That said the 2 teams I've been on that were really successfully had an absolutely dominant mid laner.

Well I've been playing a lot of Xin since his remake =) but I don't think that really counts. I do still play some Sona, Trundle and Annie who are a lot of fun and not terribly common any more.

The tide of battle is turning, summoners. With ceaseless aggression, powered and protected by the lunar light, Diana, Scorn of the Moon, controls and chases her enemies through the battlefield, leaving them no sunlight for solace.

Diana’s high area of effect damage and defensive abilities make her an ideal jungler. Pale Cascade creates three orbiting spheres that detonate and deal damage to any enemy that comes close, while protecting her with a shield that absorbs any incoming damage. If all three orbs are detonated, the shield effect is refreshed, allowing her to absorb even more punishment. This destructive shield, combined with a cleaving attack from her passive, Moonsilver Blade, helps her deal out significant damage to multiple targets as she quickly tears through jungle camps.

Drawing power from the moon, Diana’s kit revolves around her use of Moonlight to prep her enemies for an incoming attack. The breakneck pace of Diana’s gameplay and her relentless chasing potential are driven by the interplay between Crescent Strike and her ultimate ability, Lunar Rush. A unique curved skillshot, Crescent Strike unleashes lunar energy in an arc, damaging any enemies in its path and simultaneously afflicting them with Moonlight. Casting Lunar Rush to teleport to an enemy afflicted by Moonlight will reset the ability cooldown while consuming all active Moonlight debuffs. Judicious use of Moonlight combined with accurate casts of Crescent Strike gives Diana incredible mobility and sustained damage throughout a long fight. While using Lunar Rush only in combination with Moonlight will give Diana the highest damage output over time, you may make a judgment call and accept the longer cooldown to either directly rush a vulnerable target or double tap a Moonlight afflicted enemy for heavy burst damage.

Diana’s kit really comes together in a team fight. After initiating with Crescent Strike and Lunar Rush, she can follow up with Moonfall, drawing in and slowing all nearby enemies, holding them in range for Moonsilver Blade and Pale Cascade until Crescent Strike is ready again. The added durability of her shield helps her survive heavy damage, while the mobility of a Moonlight-enhanced ultimate helps her pursue and assassinate high-value targets. With the complex interplay of her abilities, Diana’s got the potential to control the jungle while executing quick ganks and threatening enemies in team fights.

-Abilities-

Moonsilver Blade (Passive): Diana has increased Attack Speed. Every third strike cleaves nearby enemies for additional magic damage.

Crescent Strike: Diana swings her blade to unleash a bolt of lunar energy, afflicting enemies with Moonlight and dealing damage in an arc before exploding.

Pale Cascade: Diana creates three orbiting spheres that detonate on contact with enemies to deal damage in an area. She also gains a temporary shield that absorbs damage. This shield is refreshed if all three spheres detonate.

Moonfall: Diana draws in and slows all nearby enemies.

Lunar Rush (Ultimate): Diana teleports to an enemy and deals magic damage. Lunar Rush has no cooldown when used to teleport to a target afflicted with Moonlight.


A jungling AP assassin!! must buy

Yeah, they posted that last night Zeb, Diana should be in the PBE today.

As for champs I love that aren't commonly used Garen instantly comes to mind. I've liked him since the day I bought him (when he was junk), I liked him when he was buffed into king of top laners for a month and a half, and I still like him quite a lot. Don't play a ton of top lane so I don't use him terribly often but he's great.

I've been using Garen recently, when you play him correctly he can basically shut out almost any top laner. His issue is that unlike Darius he can't run up and just assassinate 1 member of a team, Darius does damage while Garen just annoys the crap out of you.

And I heard there was a delay with getting Diana into the PBE, not sure when she'll make it in.

We have Prizmm, I may be biased but his recent ranked spree speaks for itself, I'm pretty sure he would hit 2k if he ground the games needed.

I don't think we'll be playing this weekend as he's gone. Who's on your team? We for sure need practice, also a ton of games. We're trying to keep roles dedicated. Maleficus has been top and for being so new to the game has destroyed his lane all 4 games which is great, we rib him a lot but it's in good fun. I've been jungle so far, I never gank for Maleficus, which makes his lane dominance better. And then Canadian and Fenix in bot. Seems to be working well.

Don't fuck with Fenix Soraka by the way. It's a beast. Always live never die. Hasn't died in 2 straight games lol.

We actually have 6 players just because a couple are unreliable.

Anyhoo at the risk of getting ourselves scouted before playing:
Desertfoxuf - support/AD
Guberson - AD/Support
FlowerBridge - Support/Jungle
Zebano - Jungle/Support
Nolez06 - top
Sephario - mid

Yup, w/Battlecast Skarner in the background.

They're also changing the splash art for a ton of champs and skins, including several of Ashe's (odd since they just changed them).

That skin is insane. The bar is raised if that's a 975.

They are nerfing my Amumu, which makes me sad. He'll still be good, but a lot of his late game assassin style will be gone.

To make up for it I'm picking up Hecarim. Who is mildly insane. His late game is god mode, and his ult is as disruptive as Amumu/Malph/anything else in this game.

Also there is a vid on Youtube of Diana being jungled, she's a beast at it. Should be awesome.

That's Battlecast Cho'Gath, not Skarner.

And I can't believe the amount of time they're spending remaking Ashe's portraits.

Some champs are sitting on portraits from the freaking beta and they've re-done Ashe's so many times already.

Even in game champs need updates. TF has as many polygons in his whole body as Nautilus has in his hand.
