Gold is even worse than silver.
IT's like people have never played league before.
That and it's toxic as hell. I pick jinx, and I start getting berated in champ select before the game starts.
2nd ranked game tonight...my team's jungler is a Ryze...feeds his arse off, then proceeds to rage at the rest of the team.
Honestly I hope that kid goes out tomorrow and gets hit by a car.

Shits about to get good with the franchising and/or big patches before worlds drama.

I'm hoping it doesn't affect TSM too much. I really feel like they have a legit shot to make it deep into worlds.

Monte was saying how it is a skill like many others within the game and several teams signed players specifically for their ability to lane swap... and now they are stuck with those players. (even though they no longer are able to capitalize on the skill they signed them for).

That's why you sign players that are just flat out good at League instead of signing players that are good at a specific thing. It's season 6. This isn't new. Riot has always drastically changed the meta midseason. Teams are only pissy now because laneswaps were a way of hiding weak laners and now they can't do that anymore. -cough- CLG -cough-

They should have kept ZionSpartan. This Darshan dude is trash.
On a serious note though, CLG has some pretty serious rebuilding to do.
Seriously though I understand their concerns. Just like NFL teams build their roster based on what they expect to see this season (a lot of spread formations and Nickel D) teams build a roster for the mets they expect this split. Changing it up right before playoffs is crazy.
I'm not so sure about franchising to be honest. I think there is more than a little reason to skeptical of Regi, Monte, and others all asking that the biggest risk to their investment be nullified. At the same time, I get that it is hard to expand this competitive scene with such a huge risk hanging over everyone's head.
These huge meta-changing patches mid-split need to stop though.

This wasn't mid season this, this was end of season. So everything teams have been playing with all year is now different at the very end.
I don't think it made too much of a difference in the playoff results, but I can see how players/coaches get annoyed with riot shuffling the cards all the time.
As far as franchising, from a fan perspective. I'm a fan of team "A", and they are a good team. They are on the league for 2 years. Then have a really bad split, get relegated. Well, guess what can't be a fan of them anymore. Teams that get relegated now have almost zero chance to get back because they usually get disbanded.
They don't do this in major sports, and if league wants to grow and be seen as a legit sport, they will have to move to this.

quote:I agree Riot shouldn't do it, but they should expect it by now. They've literally done it every season. Season 3 it was Corki/Kogmaw/Trinity Force buff. Season 4 it was Corki again along with Irelia and Jax. Season 5 it was Juggernauts. This season it's just a tower change and "First Blood" for towers forcing standard lanes. It's not like it's causing teams to have to reinvent the wheel. It's forcing them to play the game they way it was intended to be played. It's not like standard lanes is some massive new shift. Every non-competitive game is played this way. This is actually the least invasive change Riot has made pre-worlds since the LCS even started, and they made it in time so the teams could play playoffs with the changes so they don't go into world's blind like they have been. It's not optimal, but it's WAY better than what they've been doing in the past.

I am going to keep playing Gangplank. frick the nerfs.
Posted on 8/23/16 at 4:19 pm to dcrews
Pretty minor nerfs really he'll be fine, just weaker early but still strong as ever late. People in low ego still won't know how to play against him either.

I've noticed
Been spamming him for 2-3 weeks now.
The Mana cost doesn't bother me too much on his W.
The base HP reduction kinda sucks, but I can manage.
What really irked me is the CD increase on his ult.
I run 12/18/0 masteries with the mastery that gives 5% bonus CDR and increase your CDR cap to 45%.
After I finish Tri-force and CDR boots, I'm sitting at 35% CDR VERY early in the game. I'm ulting nearly once every minute and a half.
Now, I'm losing 20 secs at lvl 1 and 10 secs at lvl 2. The damage reduction is also really significant early.
Thankfully they left his barrel damage alone. I'm just going to keep building Critplank.
