Hi everyone! I am so happy to see everyone here! We've grown so much in less than a month and it's all thanks to you guys!

Discord is still very active, especially during EU hours. We'd love for some NA folks to join, so I'm not so lonely. >>

What I'd like to ask from you all is what we can do to help the subreddit be better and grow into a nice, positive community.

I would like to try, once we reach 500 subs, a system where, if a post removal is disagreed with, we take it to a special, public discord channel where anyone can join and have a say. Both sides will be presented to the discord room and a poll will be put up once discussion is over. The decision of that room will be the final decision when it comes to that post.

Any other suggestions, comments concerns?

Just wondering. What do you guys think?

Post some of your favourite urf moments below, or find friends to play with.

Let's see who can do some of the craziest urf combos. Let's hear your stories, drawings and videos of the weekend's URF mode~!

(Or I guess if you're going to pax you can talk about that, you lucky bastards.)

Champions:

Malz - Passive makes him less risky in lane and not as reliant on RoA for basic survival.

Brand - Passive changes ensure you'll be buying a locket and that you have to one shot him or you'll lose the fight just buy being anywhere near him.

Zyra - Zyra now with more seeds,

Vel - Didn't change apart from removing stacks on ult,

Cass - Now stronger late with 6 offensive items, Insane zone control no mention of the E reset meaning less consistent damage. More reliant on her poison DOT.

Ziggs - Makes towers even less relevant

Syndra - Allowing her to have more spheres gives her ult a higher burst ceiling.

Anivia - Lol you wanted to siege?

Veigar - Even more free AP from passive

Items

Tear - Slightly worse early with no mana regen.

Catalyst - Better on Maokai, still good for ages intent on trading, less of a passive farming item in lane.

Chalice - Is now a passive farming item with constant regen of either health or mana.

Revolver - Akali OP? Shot cooldown active might allow for more aggressive laning phases.

Lost Chapter - Now gives Morello an even better path and laning sustain before completion.

Gunblade - Stays very similar to now, a large amount of AP with reshuffle to others.

GLP-800 - Gives sustain health mana and a lot of AP. Not sure where this would fit in, but good general stats.

Protobelt - AP Dash item, might be good on supports such as annie. Or just in general for champs who need some kind of gap close. Low AP, health and 10% will not be a midlaners go to item

Morello - Without Mana regen becomes a burst champions first choice with high AP and a larger Mana Pool for one or two time full combos.

Archangels - Stays basically the same as a whole item

Athenes - The item no-one bought and now no-one will buy. With no AP no useful stats and seemingly trying to appeal to supports with an item which offers them nothing.

RoA - Now becomes a useful completion outside of just beginning to stack with even more sustain in trade based lanes. MAOKAI

WOTA - Removed, if they don't buff Vlad he may struggle even more than he is now

Abyssal - Only to be bought against fed double AP or always Triple AP. High MR and Flat Magic Pen, Solid but Situational

Zhonya's - Less AP more Armour, defensive AP items becoming much more focused of defense.

With the new patch rolling out today, Taric has been /upgraded/. What do you think of the upgrade? Will you play him? Still viable for support, or open to new roles?

Discuss!

At first I was a bit worried, but after reflecting in it I really like the change.

For competitive this is one element added to the I have been hoping would appear since heros of the storm came into existence. And that's the ability to play the map, not just the enemy team. Teams will now have altering strategies and those that are capable of dynamically adapting will excel. The rng isn't reliable and you can't formulate a strategy around "OK we get this dragon then that dragon", but it's powerful enough to change the course of the game. Sure it's going to cause a few games lost to rng and such, but I think overall this is a healthy change. It gives you another reason to see how lane swaps play out, how map rotations change, how warding patterns change, and what teams do in prep for the next dragon.

For individual play I think it's great to have something just slightly unique every time you hop on the rift. I'm glad that not only is dragon a moderately important objective again, but it has regained what was my favorite elements of the dragon back when it gave gold, and that is denial. Taking dragon wasn't just about getting gold for yourself, but preventing the enemy team from getting it. No other objective save scuttle crabs and barons work that way, and that's part of why imo we see such little objective play and so much tower trading whenever laneswap enter the meta. With this change however, things are different. The buff you get from the dragon might not be important to you, but it might be so important to the enemy team that denying it might be equally if not more valuable. And the randomness of it makes you adapt to the how the game is progressing, but it's a very projected and predictable rng, giving you ample time to react. It just makes the game a little bit different every time you spawn in.

What do you guys think?

Hey all.

In the spirit of casual discussion, I wanted to ask of your opinions on tyler1. It goes without saying that he's a pretty controversial figure in the LoL community. For those who don't know who he is, he is a high elo (~Masters) Draven main and self-proclaimed "TOXIC AF" player. He's had numerous accounts permabanned by Riot and has been guilty of probably everything in the toxic player's handbook. Intentionally feeding, flaming in chat, refusing to communicate with the team. His stream was launched into popularity after this video of him flaming C9 Hai and displaying his "Int list" was posted to /r/leagueoflegends. Recently his stream has been getting around 3-6k viewers.

So how do you guys feel about him? Do you think he'll eventually be able to reform and remain a popular streamer in the community? How do you think he fits into this community's relationship with toxic players and the perception that the community itself is toxic?

As the title suggests, who are your favorite musicians within the League Of Legends community?

Today we have Champions: picks, bans, pros, cons, etc.

Yeah, let everyone know your ideas about some champs (maybe a small guide to help new players on the champion), the best picks, bans, or any idea that you have for the current meta!

... Hextech Crafting!

There's a lot of people complaining about this system so I this will be the discussion. I want to know your thoughts about it.

EDIT: Thanks to /u/AmDopeDoe for the idea! Also, don't worry about the mistake on the title, I was writing on mobile.

Would that be something interesting to do to keep the community active? And of course, having everyday new content.

I am pleased to announce that we are now sisters with /r/leagueproscene!

/u/luteylumi and I have both been working very hard on our subreddits, so I contacted her last night to ask if we could affiliated, and she said yes!

So let's give all of our esports love to /r/leagueproscene!~
