Ugh. My AP mid.. how bad is it?

 

Shortened the range on her ult to the point where she finds it hard to gank through wraiths into mid. Found that out the very messy way.

 

Diana
Crescent Strike
Base damage reduced to 60/95/130/165/200 from 70/110/150/190/230
Pale Cascade
Orb detonation damage radius reduced
Adjusted orb hit box to better match the visual effect
Moonfall
Maximum pull distance reduced
Lunar Rush
Cast range reduced to 750 from 900

Yea that's bullshit.
Diana's problems are that she is too tanky for her damage output.
These nerfs will gimp her killing potential (especially the 150 range nerf on R) and her utility, but do nothing to really affect how tanky she is.

She'll just be a tanky ap with no soloing capability.

 

Lamora: I mained Mordekaiser last season, probably will this one as well. Atmogs is still definitely subpar, especially if you are rushing liandry's. Building revolver->boots2(or 3, alacrity)->Liandry->Rylai is plenty of tank and damage. After that if you are wealthy hextech gunblade is a good buy on him. I feel like the main advantage of Mordekaiser is that he can build tanky damage and still be a huge tank, instead of needing to build like an actual tank.

 

For shits and giggles, my friend and I did a top lane Darius/Gangplank.

Stomping was done, fun was had, enemies raged.

They had a Skarner that kept trying to gank us, who really just fed us more kills.

 

People who don't play bots (intermediate) forget how ridiculous double bruiser lanes are.

 

Meh. Gives jungle free reign to dominate Mid and Bot. And lol. Bye bye BC stacking.

 

When you can get a complete full build on support Taric without massively farming or killing, the game's gone on too fucking long.

 

It was... interesting playing a ranked team with Prom and three others(one of which I had played half a dozen games with previously). We played four games in a row.
- Bot was Vayne/Taric(Prom was Taric) each game
- Jungle was Volibear each game
- Mid was Akali(me) each game
- Top was Riven for the first two, then Jax, then Rumble.

So, we won each time handily(check ranked match history if you like), except for the last which took a while. The second to last, Vayne left Skype for the last ten minutes or so, and the last he left both Skype and the game about 10-15 minutes in for roughly the same amount of time before returning. Both times due to Prom's notoriously overbearing... help(?) Mind you, he did come back, and end up going 18/4/7(during which I only got 2 kills, and around 15 assists -_-), but we did think we were going to lose because of a quitter.

It's just amusing, since he does still approve of Prom and respects him as a player quite a bit, but also realizes that he can probably only play with him in spurts before it just gets to be too much.

 

Holy shit, this is retarded. I agree that she needed a nerf, maybe even just a couple of these. But these are terrible.

Riot hasn't learned how to nerf yet, apparently.

 

I'ts pretty silly, yea. Pre-nerf she could 1v1 most traditional AP mids. Now, she simply won't DO anything in lane. It's not like she wasn't counterable. AD mids still shat on her like pigeons to cars.

I'm pretty sure her R is shorter range than her max range Q now, which was hard enough to get on a cautious player anyway, her damage is nerfed substantially for farming, and her shield is so fucking stupid, the explosion radius seems smaller than her autoattack range.

In her current state, her damage is low, her cc is pathetic, her gap closing is lame, and her abilities don't even function well together. Now in mid, she'll just suck at farming. Instead of nerfing her tankiness so that other AP mids could get into a burst battle with her and have a chance of winning, they just made it so she can't really stand up to anything in mid because she doesn't have the damage to duel them, the wave-clearing to push them, or the functioning abilities to threaten them away from freely harassing her.

Oh well, back to fizz.

 

Yeah, the range nerf is really stupid for Diana. Damage/Shield/CC, though they are harsh nerfs, I can see why Riot might want to do it. But nerfing the range of her Ulti is like destroying her kit itself.

 

His condemn had an accuracy rate of 30%.

I counted in replays. 30% wall stun accuracy rate. During all four games, he only condemned to save allies twice when there were multiple occasions to help while staying safe.

Hell, half of his condemns saved enemies more than it actually helped.

 

It is. And you're correct.

Fucking Riot.

 

Not supporting him or you, although begrudgingly you more than him, just found it amusing. Well, really damned annoying to hear you two arguing all game too, but kind of amusing nonetheless.

 

How are you all getting Santa Nashor icon?

By being a good person, essentially. The people who were (apparently) some of the most positive players in 2012 received the icon early, you still have a chance to get it if you're a positive player during the Snowdown event.

 

I question how they get those figures out.
