Pretty sure he just said "Hodor"

Next week's free champion rotation. by arionsin leagueoflegends

[–]kops -1 points0 points ago

Yeah but you can kill teemo. Levels 1-3 riven has a massive advantage.

Kennen just lightning rushes away (WAY better than teemo's dash) right off the bat, and there's nothing Riven can do.

Eh? I actually think riven is quite good against olaf. Put a couple extra points into shield and negate his E.

The quintessential counter to riven is supposed to be kennen.

I don't get it... how is this joke upvoted every. week.? And how is there a whoosh every. week.?

Thoughts on the new item: Athene's Unholy Grail by Pluckin_Penguinin leagueoflegends

[–]kops 0 points1 point ago

My old Ori build was cata->boots 2->RoA->DC

The first new one I'm going to try will probably be

cata->chalice->boots 2->RoA->DC->grail

possibly switching the cata and chalice if the matchup deems that the MR is more important than the HP/passive from cata.

Oh it's not even hidden. New items are buffs to any hero who can use it more effectively than existing items.

Item balance is very delicate since any item change is actually a nerf/buff to an entire class of heros.

Classic Bob. by joelandrewsin funny

I actually found season 8 to be about as good as the rest of the show personally...

But oh god season 9 was bad. When I finished it (solely out of completionism) I had to go back and rewatch the last couple episodes of season 8 so that I could have it end on a decent note.

What do you think is the most powerful passive in the game? by lunaticsbin leagueoflegends

[–]kops 0 points1 point ago

Out of curiosity, what other games?

3 out of the 4 really popular games in this genre have a meta based directly off DotA (those 4 being dota/dota 2, hon, LoL).

Meh. Sniper does it in DotA. He's good, not OP.

10 days later: impressions on spectator mode, specifically the delay by kopsin leagueoflegends

[–]kops[S] 1 point2 points ago

Maybe I exaggerated, but it's still no different than having someone sit behind you and watch you play.

[–]kops[S] 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, in HoN you can decline spectators.

Except streaming is only available to people that put in a lot of effort and have the bandwidth to support a stream. Spectator mode is available to casual players... y'know, the majority.

Lux ult after the patch by Supersnutenin leagueoflegends

[–]kops 0 points1 point ago

I had a poppy that permanently had almost every effect in the game recently... ignite, red/blue buff, lulu ult (the aura part, not the size fortunately) and one or two others I can't remember. It was ridiculous.

Sounds like it got harder since I participated... I thought I remembered high scores being around 18is on pre-calc, and this question is harder than any I remember

Out of curiosity was this the Illinois state finals? I'm wondering because the format matches and I know it was on Saturday...

What were some of the "noobiest" things you did when you started playing LoL? by Bettarezin leagueoflegends

[–]kops 0 points1 point ago

I sometimes play on smurfs when there's a new freeweek so I can try out a hero in low pressure games (I hate co-op)... if you heal bait someone at that tier, the rage is phenomenal.

"OMG NOOB HEAL IS FOR SCRUBS"

pretty much guaranteed.

Shyvana 5 tiamat's in a normal game - Quad kill. by nyonnersin leagueoflegends

[–]kops 7 points8 points ago

Theres a lot of reasons for that IMO. Probably the two biggest are the melee hard-carry meta in DotA and the way the jungle works.

Battlefury, like Tiamat, deals more splash on melee than on range, so melee carries want it (predominant in dota), ranged don't (predominant in league). The reason it's a carry item is because it lets you farm many times faster on heros that don't have wave clearing abilities (like... most carries). If you ever played a decent amount of hard carry in DotA, you will grow to love battlefury for exactly that reason.

As for the jungle, DotA has a stacking mechanic. For those that don't know, monsters spawn in the jungle every minute (x:00 on the game clock), as long as nothing is currently in their spawn box. This can be abused by aggroing the existing monsters and pulling them away from the spawn, allowing a second camp to spawn despite the first one still being alive. Typically a support will do this in their spare time, or the carry can just do it while farming. A carry with Battlefury can then go destroy this "stacked" camp MUCH faster than if they didn't have the item. Even without stacking, several dota jungle camps have more than one "big" creep, so having some multi-target damage is useful.

Disclaimer: Not an expert, just a long time DotA vet; this is my play-group's consensus and may suffer from group think.

TL;DR Battlefury is a farming item for hard carries in DotA for reasons that aren't applicable in LoL.

Dear Riot, Please can we see runes in spectator mode? by munchkinatorin leagueoflegends

[–]kops -1 points0 points ago

What about at least showing the same hover-over you get while playing? So we can see base stat+bonus stat? This seems much easier to do and would be almost as useful, especially for someone like Akali.

Rumor has it you will temporarily DC when someone joins to spectate you...well apparently... by charlesviperin leagueoflegends

[–]kops 0 points1 point ago

I got a really bad glitch the day of the patch where I was getting mini-dcs and then heros would remain in the state they were in... e.g. visually had red buff even if they didn't, or the worst, dead. I couldn't see my team's Brand on the map OR minimap at all, nor any of his effects.

[–]kops 1 point2 points ago

I had all the wriggle's lanterns in the game (mine and 2 others I think) turn into tear of the goddesses. Yup, on Riven.

Fortunately it was still giving wriggles stats and I could use the ward.

Do we know approximately how many of these types of bosses are going to be in the full release?
