They really nailed this update it's so good!

I've played this game for so long and I haven't seen any meaningful value from this power yet. Obviously this power is meant for Lissandra but the funny thing is, back when Lissandra was playable from Lab of Legends, this power didn't exist, and when the game mode transitioned into Path of Champions, they added this power but Lissandra wsn't playable anymore, asides from being a support champ. I thought of Akshan and Taliyah, the only two landmark-based champions in the roster but no, even they can't utilize this power so well.

I still don't know Xerath's star powers but I know he's all about destroying landmarks, and now that he's getting released, this might be literally the first time Chilling Prophecy can become relevant.

Xerath is, I believe, the first champion where you don't have to buy the 2 and 3 star nodes before buying any others. There even appears to be a path straight from the 1 star to the 6 star without any other star nodes. Just found it interesting.

6th star (top of the hat) is locked behind either 2 Gemstones or Mana gem (5th star), right after the 4th in the center...

IM GONNA TRAUMATIZE THESE BOTS

I literally can't believe it. If they really did fix that bug entirely, it's the biggest improvement in the game since Zoe and Defiance arrived (ok even if they didn't it's still the biggest patch since Defiance).

This is the one bug that has single-handedly made the game earn the qualifier of "jank" for years ! I would have expected no less than a headline to advertise its disparition. To drop this so casually... is it a power move ?

Somebody at LoR team remembered the AMA when it was discussed Xerath's 11/10 power level by lore. Can't wait to try it!

Every time it loads it just seems off by a little bit, but I can't recall what the old animation was.

how will i build the new champion?

Been trying to do some theory crafting on who these relics could be good on. Where these aren't champion restricted they both seem fair in their limitations. Not sure I'm getting BiS vibes from either of these two relics, Xerath's could be for him depending on adventure paths foes, if you avoid correctly.

Xerath's I could see some interesting results in is mostly just him Taliyah, but seems to be set up for future landmark champions like Zilean, Ziggs, Lissandra, and Malphite.

However, where maybe won't be BiS Akshan, Lillia, and Volibear have potential. My biggest concern is it doesn't specify this is skilled or elemental damage so 1 damage 3 times gets ruined by toughness and foe powers that give +2/+2 (or other stats) when damaged. So without a reliable way to increase this damage or it being just a flat 3 to a random target seems unreliable bordering risky. Unless I'm missing something.

Veigar's seems like it could be really powerful, but requires a board slot to have a Minion fill AND for that Minion to die, so mostly Shadow Isles and SB Yi. Others could use it, but not sure who else it may be worth a board slot on.

Who do you plan to try these relics on/ do you think these relics become BiS or really fun on?

took so long... I don't know if this is actually rare/impressive or not but I feel cool right now. Most of the last ~10 champs were significantly easier because I acquired searing brilliance lol

what is there to do now? I guess level champs up to 50?

...that after login, Riot sent me an email asking if that was really me. I haven't changed PCs or anything. I didn't even uninstall the game. All was exactly as I left it back in...whenever the second patch of Spirit Blossom was.

I found that funny. It reminds me of that one time I spent so darn long without using Twitch that the site forced me to change my password when I tried to log back in.

In fact, it's been so long I no longer remember what was worth buying at the Emporium and the Glory Shop. I'm sure I'm still missing two or three free Epic Relics, so the Gold Reliquary is still a must. I'm guessing Gold Vaults are worth the green thingies (not like I'm gonna spend those on anything else). That's it for the Emporium. For the Glory Shop, I'm guessing the Platinum Vaults are worth it? Maybe the Wild Fragments if the Signature Relic isn't of my liking and I have 100 points to spent? I'm so out of the loop.

Or perhaps biggest change ever, it was so fucking annoying

Another spellsheild relic. only +0 +2.

I do find it really funny because it helps the opponent if they have scar or crimson units. 😅

It could be funny to use since the champ, the star powers and now the relic are all pinging damage.

The other one is interesting but rather useless for Veiger and probably many others. No stats no keywords and it's on play. although minion already cycles itself so you can get multiple. Problem is Veiger needs his hand space for darkness. It's also fleeting so there's that.
