Mr. Reav3, Sir, pardon the offtopic question but is the Edgy champion that is getting released soon only for middle lane? Or can it be also played top?
While we are primarily testing and balancing it around mid I think it will also be pretty viable top
Now I've always enjoyed your casting. The Ender x Phreak cast was the most hilarious cast I've ever heard! However in terms of LEC color casting I think a more micro oriented caster is a gap I'd love to see filled.
You're the highest ranked caster in the scene! Probably the one who has the best understanding of micro.
I try to go very detailed on jungle pathing in the early game, but a goal of mine this split is to bring that level of insight to other lanes.
Also, the phreak cast was one of my favorites ever. Hope we get to work together soon
I mean I can only guess what he means but for me at least you sometimes do not feel natural. A little over the top.
But I got to agree. Today was great. Your knowledge is allways welcome. Use it more. Be less of an "entertainer" and more of an "expert" imo.
But thats just my feelings and I surely am not an expert in how to make enjoyable casts.
I appreciate the feedback :)
I do believe there should be a Y before those Os
Side note: have you been stalking EU jungler soloq accounts? The rise of phase rush Graves has really got me thinking about experimenting with his keystones. The fact that you can do a full clear, leashless, in under 2 minutes to end with full HP makes me question the prevalence of FF, especially with Death's Dance buffs, which I think should be a rush item now. Just wondering if you've tried/seen any "less standard" runes in EUW high elo.
elctrocute/dark harvest on lethality Graves isn't bad for trying to 1shot but phase rush usually means more overall damage/utility
To be honest, the cast has been really good this game.
Massive improvement in Ender's cast from spring's regular season. It was very informative and entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
The new paint kings have dethroned the old paint kings
Drywall, make some noise for

THAT. PAINTING. IS. BEEEE-OOTIFUL!!!
My favourite caster :)

I don't like him because he tries to be extra too much, but today he was really good. He naturally has a lot of energy, so when he actually talks about the game, it's a pleasure to hear.
I'm glad you enjoyed the cast today, I know Trevor and I had a blast. I'm curious, could you elaborate on what you mean by being extra too much? This split Im trying to double down on the more on-topic casts that I had with Trevor in playoffs.
it was great, both did their part amazingly. the percentage game was really fun and kinda exciting as a FNC fan, it felt like you weren't the only one thinking "...wait, they can win this"
Honestly, I rolled my eyes at Trevor when he suggested it. But I ended up really enjoying it. Glad I played along and the game backed it up
What an absolute banger of a game. Had so much fun with Ender and so lucky to get such an exciting game to end the day. Very happy with the content and maybe was a little too excited but thought the game called for that level of energy.
Ender, Kayle doesn't get AoE attacks until level 11... his first game of the split and he's already going full WeirdChamp.
I'm trolling
Thank you, it makes me sick to see this. These people have no idea the damage they cause with names like this. The reason I say ip ban is because this person knew they would be banned and didnt care. They just make another account
Unfortunately, IP bans don't really work because your IP changes pretty often. They're not a good tool for stopping one specific person from doing something.
Was nice to see Finn style a bit with better wave control. Welcome to the LEC Kryze.
Q + E could've been better.
Make sure to report the name and it will get punished.
Personally I think it deserves an IP ban.
IP bans are not very effective, but I get what you mean.
Could you share what do you guys think about Tryndamere. It looks to me like he is hitting all the criteria for a VGU, but he isn't mentioned often.
Gameplay: He is the last remenant of small crit % and stat increase/decrease aoe. Attack speed, his best stat, makes him look kinda silly swinging that large sword like it's a balloon. He has very little skill expression specific to his kit.
Visual: His design is okay, but it's kind of generic. Most new champions/VGUs are now you guys taking a trope and owning it, making it unique to the League universe
Potential: He has a dedicated playerbase and there is nothing wrong with his playstyle, but I feel he is a concept that could be executed so much better both gameplaywise and visually. What are yours and the teams thoughts on him?
I mentioned in a post not long ago, but yeah Trynd is high on our list for a VGU we just haven't got to him yet
Would you guys ever be open to discussing specific champions that do not end up on the VGU poll? There are champion the community seems to want reworked, but they never come up in discussion with rioters. For example RiotAugust recently said that you wanted to rework Malphite, but found out he is very popular. Are you open to more transparency like that?
Of course, i talk about those kinds of things all the time with players, though its usually in reddit comments like this rather then big blogs
I wonder what's up with 25 AP Rabadon
This is just a UI mockup. The stats on that Deathcap are placeholder.
Negative post ahead and I apologize, but this is not a decision I'm on board with. Narrative has spent the last few years trying to make a sustainable IP. The last time Riot tried this, they were surprised Lissandra actually won the vote.
More, if this is actually a vote about a major event like Noxus vs Ionia (an outcome that the writers should have known for a long time now), then it just means current storybuilding feels much less valuable because everything writers are planning is ultimately subject to the whims of champion production and upcoming events and a community that, for the most part, is not particularly involved in the setting as is.
The odds of Yone coming out are just increasing the feeling that more and more Narrative isn't really in charge. I hope Riot Forge can still take some risks.Edit: see Reav3's reply below.
To be clear, we currently have no plans to do a event where players vote on the direction of the base lore. This article was talking about AUs where we can do that kind of stuff and it can be fun.
Frosk and Drakos synergy is too insane, was an honor to be a part of the show for a season and with the dream team back and a new studio it can only get greater. Will be watching from Korea with much love.
Love you brother. Just remember if you beat an LEC team at worlds im gonna have to pretend we aren't friends anymore. XD
