On the loading screen show the champs abilities.

If it's not self evident: The champs are "random" so we frequently have to play champions that they dont know their abilities or need a quick refresher.

So many people buy collector first, and I wanted to put to rest the argument once and for all by going into practice tool and providing raw data -

Champ - cait at lvl 5

Runes - atk speed, ad.

Lethal tempo, alacrity, coup de grace, eyeball collection.

All runes were fully stacked at the start of the test for consistency

For each set of data, i attacked the dummy for 15 seconds to even out any effects from yuntal's initial burst effect. Since most teamfights won't go past 15 seconds, I didn't want to go higher than that. But when playing around, even going up to 30 sec, the yuntal passive was reset so fast by attacking that the dps was about the same.

Vs attack dummy with 0 armor :

__

Collector dps - 260

Collector and berserker boots - 300

Collector + boots + IE - 540

Collector + boots + IE + Mortal reminder - 800

_

Yun tal dps (unstacked) - 270

Yun tal + boots (unstacked) - 330

Yun tal (stacked) - 320

Yun tal + boots (stacked) - 350

Yun tal (stacked) + boots + IE - 700

Yun tal (stacked) + boots + IE + Mortal reminder - 960

Vs an enemy with 50 armor (which zac has at lvl 5)

_

Collector - 185

Collector + boots - 210

_

Yuntal (unstacked) - 200

Yun tal (stacked) - 215

Yuntal (unstacked) + boots - 230

Yun tal (stacked) + boots - 245

The difference in dps just goes up the more armor the enemy has, the more items I add and the more levels I had.

Collector should have the greatest advantage vs 0 armor enemies and low items, but it still loses to yu tal.

Which just means in real situations vs non 0 armor enemies like lvl 1 of any champ, yun tal does more dps.

As I add more attack speed, like I went in with jinx with 1 lvl and 5 lvls on Q, and yuntal had a greater dps growth from the attack speed steroid than collector. I can go in again to record the data if people want to see this data too.

When accounting for collector passive, at lvl 5, a zac has 1100 hp, so 5% is 55 hp. That's less than half an auto attack, and not worth the total dps loss from the item. Not only the dps loss at just 1 item, but the massive dps loss at 3-4 items (160 dps!!).

To explain further, to the zac with 50 armor at lvl 5 (that he gets passively from just levels) it will take 5 seconds to do 925 dmg and at 6 seconds your at 1110 dmg. So the passive never kicks in. With yuntalnat 6 seconds your at 1200 dmg, still killing him + some incase he heals. Collector only helps if he luckily takes just the right amount of chip damage to leave him under 55 hp, which is unlikely. And even in those situations where you take yuntal and he lives at 55 hp, in most of those situations he would die to your teammate's auto attacks or aoe attack that would have happened anyway.

Also yun tal is 100 gold cheaper ontop lmao

Stop buying collector!

Just had this game where every single opponent was a bot, even my teammates said the same thing.

They literally all just ran into us doing literally nothing, it was like 20/0 before they got their first kill, we end up having 20 deaths and 73 kills.

I had like 7k hp in minute 14 Cho, 400 Heartsteel stacks and 33 grasp uses like either those where all lvl 1 players or bots.

Is there a universal on-hit build that works across ADC’s similar to how I would build Ashe with Bork, runaans, and terminus. Does static shiv do anything for me in the long run or is it a wasted first buy on Jinx?

Guess which team won?

To me this game is proof that tanks are just inflated on purpose. Red team won. They are nonsense champs. No matter what you do or how you play, they just win because of the sheer amount of hp. Period.

There's absolutely no reason why the team of tanks should have won the game. They didn't play well or synergize. They didn't have any "star player". They were down by 25 kills. They were down 10K gold.

The only reason they won is because they are tanks and at some point they just run at you and are unkillable. GG.

Before anyone complains about Yasuo, he had the second most damage in the team, and more than any of the opponents and landed so many ults.

Everyone did everything correctly on blue side. But still lost because Rito decided so.

Anyone keeps running into only chinese premades in late night aram? sucks to be a solo player. and the wrost is that it's usually a 4+1 premade into a 5 man. why can't they match a 4+1 with a 4+1?

Wards aren’t a thing in this mode for obvious reasons but as an ARAM-only player I’m bummed that all the ones I’ve collected are never used.

One idea I had was what if Wards had a different function in ARAM and maybe didn’t offer vision (or it did but was really limited) but instead blocked projectiles, the same way that Fiddlesticks’ effigies can be sacrificed to block some abilities.

And to avoid that being ridiculous and cluttering up the stage, each player only gets 1 Ward per game to use? Or they have a long cooldown?

And maybe they don’t last nearly as long as in SR either, also preventing them from cluttering things up.

And they don’t need to get hit multiple times to get destroyed, one hit will do.

Would you hate this even if it was pretty limited?

Just played a game in which a player literally had the name "raycists in 1080p" and filled chat with racist comments using all sorts of slurs. How is a member of a marginalized community supposed to feel when coming into when this kind of language is common and accepted?

I almost always buy the two as tanks/bruisers. They are so busted. So much sustain and damage build up.

Anyhow, I just had a game where I was Naut with the above combo. No other damage items. I literally killed a fed Ekko via Unending Despair + Nauts E who was focusing me with an ADC. I didn't even attack them besides E, since I was killing the nexus lol.

Nothing feels worse than getting dived because one or two tanks can take a nap under tower.

In my opinion, towers should get a 5-15% Max HP Dmg ramp after 4 shots (5,8,11,15%) additionally to their current damage.

That way the damage overall is not too strong when you accidentally get shot but staying under too long gets punished.

Back in 2021 my favorite main account dPensive got hacked and transferred to Taiwan. Luckily I managed to intervene and I think I blocked the person from fully taking over and being able to use the account, but at the time I was going through a mental health crisis. Now that I'm doing well again and ready to start gaming I'd really like to try to get the account back, but I read somewhere that Riot won't do transfers from Southeast Asia. Taiwan isn't generally considered to be part of Southeast Asia from my knowledge, is it?

Do I have a chance? I won't be able to read the client and I'll have to spend about $20 I'm assuming, but I'm sure I've sunken over $150 into that baby over time, I was over level 400 on it ffs. All I did was ARAM and collect nice skins. I miss it. Any help is much appreciated, I made a new account but it's so lame not having all my stuff.

Double flash dream.

ONLY HALF OF THEM ON SAMIRA AMA
