Rammus, Shen, Volibear and Trundle can move around pretty quick and can be used on jungle and top lane for the most part. Only Shen has the dash but the other can get pretty fast. All of them can still be super relevant until late game. Galio can be used as well. I hate playing against Galio. He's so oppressive.

i don't like to harp on him, he's not THAT bad, he's just lame
I appreciate your thoughts. It takes me awhile to save up the IP so I wanna pick someone I think I'll enjoy. =) And I want to have a fairly diverse champ pool, so tank this time, methinks.
On my other account I have Tahm Kench and I like him, but don't want to double dip on this account. I have many YouTube videos to watch ahead of me.

Yes! Xerath buffs!!!
They mentioned artillery champs but no mention of buffing ap kog 🤔
Why are they considering buffing ekko. He already dumb to play against.

This is a bonkers buff.
Once again lost with a Lux support on the opposing team. Now, I don't think Lux support is good, far from it, and we won our lane with me playing support Taric, but every. Single. Time I see Lux support my team just plays like complete garbage. It never fails. She's my anti-lucky charm.
Analytics sites say that Malzahar mid has the highest win rate in the game right now, well I'd like to salute my Malzahar mid that got complete crushed. You show 'em what's what buddy!
One the bright side, Taric's changes feel nice, but not good enough that I'd want to keep playing him regularly. I think Riot made his laning phase better, but not necessarily more interesting - I have a feeling that over time players will go from maxing E first to maxing Q first. Still a top flight teamfighter though.
Finally, I absolutely love it when Riot buffs champions that needed absolutely no buffs. Good shit. Looking forward to having this fixed in 4 months like Nunu.

That's really big for her, it should help her laning phase a lot.
The current pbe patch has so many buffs.
I would not only look at win rate right now. Stuff like Kha'zix is extremely broken. Problem is that there is a set of high end junglers that just do absurd amounts of damage without even needing to look for damage oriented items. Gragas is the most extreme example of this where the hero has sustain, innate tankiness, strong damage without needing anything like Titanic Hydra, ranged clear, and a powerful CC chain. Maokai is in a fairly similar place.
Yeah, just observing a complete 180 from the start of the season.
There's also the shift top from tanks to carries and bruisers. One of the big statistical truisms of LoL, regardless of the meta and regardless of how much people would want it to be otherwise, is that in solo queue team win rates jump when there's at least one tanky champion on the team. So if tanks have left top lane, then the place to put them in the comp is either in the jungle or in support. Although support is much more tank friendly than it was at the end of S6 and well into S7, they aren't dominant. But thanks to all the nerfs to champions that should have an easier time dealing with tanks in the jungle, teams that park their tank no problems.

Matchmaking in normal draft is truly broken in this game. It's fucking bullshit to be matched against premades constantly and that are on a much higher level than myself who plays solo and casual. Are there any level headed people on here that are willing to play unranked games? I usually queue support bottom lane. I play on EU West.
Just play ranked...

I have done that previous years, i can spare myself the brain brain aneurysm thx.
problem with normals is that it has a completely independent mmr so when ppl look into op.gg they get frustrated that they're matched with higher level people
i get it, but normals are more tuned around queue times than balance, and if you want a competitive game then ranked more than does the job
i sometimes get matched against challenger players and they don't really take normals seriously and those games end up being kind of dumb fun since they'll do stupid shit like thresh blitzcrank or whatever
and even when you get stomped you can try to learn from better players so it's not all a waste
in the end normal games are a casual mode and the matchmaking system does the best job it can
and if you think ranked gives you a brain aneurysm or something idk what to tell you, game's probably not doing it for you?

Thats a shame, the icon was so pretty
Man I feel like not playing your role should be bannable on the situation that you didn't switch with someone else.
I'm not like mad or anything. It was just a normal and a guy flat out refused to play support.
I had to support in ranked and I never support but I didn't bitch about it...

It already is bannable to not play the role you were assigned.
Oh, well then. xD
rough night, but i really like the balance of the game to the point i actually enjoy these few games i lost, ragequitters, people saying i've got autism and all lol
also is warwick really op atm? i saw him 3 times today and he looked really fucking strong
yeah, it's punisheable if they get assigned support and refuse to play the role
remember to report people for doing that kind of stuff

Warwick is in a weird spot right now, in some games he does really strong and in others he just gets demolished, depends on if they go Full Tank/Juggernaut or if they go full damage.
I see that tank WW works best since he can very easily dive in fights and get away.
EDIT: What is with people thinking that the Report system doesn't actually exist? i've had 3 games in a row where someone thinks that they can get away with being toxic because the "System can't see me"
It's very likely for you get banned for flaming and verbal abuse.
It's very unlikely for you to get banned for ingame actions such as intentionally feeding, unless it's something you do every game.
he feels real strong, like he does a lot of dmg and is really hard to kill or kite
i like new warwick so i hope he doesn't become too op to the point i start seeing him every game
idk, i'm willing to bet most cases of "ppl getting away with it"are because of ppl not reporting properly (that aren't taking champion select hostage, cos that's something you can't report yet cos ppl tend to dodge out of those)
overall i think riot should do a better job at letting you report people (as in, allowing you to report ppl in ur last game if you closed the lobby, or allowing you to report ppl if u dodged) and giving you feedback of how successful your reports are, tho that's a thin line to walk cos lack of feedback feels like the system failed to punish people
but yeah, ppl fooling themselves that they're not gonna get banned feel extra delicious when you report them, cos it means they'll keep doing it and they'll get banned for sure
thing is, escalating punishments means most people get warned before they get banned and most ppl probably stop there
like people intentionally feeding cos they had a really bad streak or they had a bad day at the office generally have those issues solved by the next time they play, so they don't really need banning
like it'd feel sweet if ppl got banned for feeding once but that's asking the tribunal to be 100% precise when people are intentionally feeding or not and i had a friend of mine go 0-11-2 today and you know, he had a terrible game but he wasn't inting and if he gets (probably rightfully) reported he should still get a chance or two to play normal (sadly my friend had a REALLY bad day today and his next two games were kinda the same haha)
was gonna go like wth you talking about but goes to show how unreliable champion.gg has become
(i clicked on jungle on champion.gg, ignore that it says top)

I forgot where i read it but Champion.gg has a Pool of ~2,000 while Lolalytics uses around ~20,000
Played a jungle Trundle game last night. I already hate the removal of vision from spire. Lost two kills to that in a single match, what a load of bullshit. Also, not going to be adding Trundle to my pool. I seem to like the idea of playing Trundle more than I actually like playing Trundle because I keep trying every few months. Still trying out Maokai some more...I should really try new Cho too.
Yep.
They were actually getting better recently at providing timely updates after patches but the pat few they've slacked off again.
Another thing to note is that even lolalytics.com isn't accurate in the days following a patch either. Their win rates use an average of the past 7 days, so in the days immediately following the release of a patch you need to look at the "win rate over past 7 days graph" to get an idea of how buffs/nerfs affect any given champion.
What I'm really trying to say is that Cho'Gath's 55% win rate is still taking into account 3 days of his old, pre-rework kit. His actual win rate will settle somewhere around 59% (holy fucking shit).

oh so then these buffs just really broke him
weird
nah they probably don't use pre-patch winrates
that wouldn't make much sense
Is it weird? I read the changes and they are just an insane buff. In the past Cho autos did not really mean anything even with E. On a four second cooldown it will almost always be up since it works for the next three autos, it gets a wild max HP damage modifier that scales with feast stacks, a 50% AoE slow, and even if it decays it does not really matter when you are reapplying with every auto. Now Cho is a super tank with crazy burst that also has no downtime because he can get in and auto for mega damage/CC.

Yeah, Cho's biggest issue was that his damage while crazy was unreliable
So here's a slow so that you can't miss Q anymore and % damage on top of it for good measure.

Just from fooling around in customs, yeah the %damage from E is great, but the added slow and how it sets up Rupture is really underappreciated. Not really sure if it's something I'd want to try out in a real match though. His mini rework didn't change the fundamental way Cho jungles, they just boosted the living hell out of it.
So when's my busted Nautilus mini rework coming out?
They absolutely 100% do, just whip out a calculator. I'm not guessing here, it's all there for anyone to figure out. That's how they're able to provide data without having to wait a few days after a patch like op.gg or champion.gg, otherwise the sample set is too small.

but not enough fanart if you know what i mean
Not liking other people playing my choggy tho. Plus he might get banned now ):
idk jumping from worst winrate to best in one patch does feel surprising to me, at a glance it didn't seem like his buffs would be that broken
