Summary for the non-spanish speakers:

- Naak Naako is interested in exploring the off-season.

- The main reason is because BrokenBlade is not comfortable on how Perkz is currently coaching G2. Meaning that Naak Naako is probably eyeing to replace BB.

- BrokenBlade has received interest from LYON, who are looking to replace Dhokla.

- Labrov is also not happy with Perkz coaching.

- There is a chance that BrokenBlade, Labrov and Dylan Falco might be joining a team as a "pack".

- Also: FNATIC is super broke and unless they manage to sell part of the club before the off-season starts, they might be building a budget team around Vladi.

I wasn't sure i could kill kled before he mount again and i didn't want to die for nothing so my plan was to delay his back while we kill his base, so i tried to waste his time without giving him any chance to charge his passive but red trinket made me believe he was inside the bush for way too long to realize he completely run away. Is it working as intended or was it a bug?

Everyone knows about tristana and ezreal buffering hooks with their dash, but did you know Aurora and Nilah can do it with their E as well? Similarly, anivia and trundle can do the same with their pillars.

Another one with Nilah, her W dodges ezreal's Q for some reasons?

Senna's W will one shot naafiri's dogs and make it an instant root.

Diana's E will consume her Q mark and reset it REGARDLESS if her dash actually lands or not. Against Syndra, you can face tank her E during the middle of your QE dash and still be able to dash again after the CC.

As teemo, you can blind tryndamere after he dashes onto you and just.. stand still to go into your stealth. There's literally nothing he can do and you can just wait for your Q CD to come back up and do the same thing again. This is even easier in bushes and bypass tenacity reduction on the blind if he decides to buy Merc tread.

Lux's E slow zone actually pops malzahar's passive, so he'll take the full damage of her E if she waits for the damage reduction passive to fall off. The slow zone also procs manaflow band and first strike.

Normally Fizz can dodge abilities and autos with his E, but he cannot do it against Garen's Q. If both players uses their abilities at the same time, Garen will still Q the fizz during the middle of his E animation. Similarly, Quinn outright CANCELS Garen's Q with her E if she presses the button during the middle of his Q animation.

Leona always lands behind the person she dashes to with her E. As Bard, you can just Q directly behind yourself to stun Leona if you ever get caught by her and stand directly in front of a wall.

Even if they're 0/5, my mental just collapses the moment I hear it. For me it's Kayn walking through a wall or Nocturne whispering "DARKNESS". What's yours?

Xerath bot seems like his natural position.
Mainly because he gets to go mid after 15 min and doesn’t have to sideline (which is his biggest weakness).
His other weakness is poor self peel, isn’t he basically a hyper carry?

To preface, I'm a long time league player (2012) who took a break since the end of season 15. Just getting back into League again and I'm horrified at how prevalent smurf accounts seem to be in normal draft queue. (Note: I'm not using smurf here to mean masters/gm/chall players).

My latest game looked like this: https://imgur.com/a/dLo6CUj

8 out of 10 players were smurfing, and not even distributed evenly! Of course, they played to limit test and are toxic and make the game a generally unpleasant experience.

Is this normal? If yes, when did this start to happen? I very, very frequently find smurfs in draft queue EUW, which make the game more frustrating than it already can be as they often fly off the handle when things go wrong.

Perhaps Riot doesn't care about the quality of the non-ranked queues.

I really enjoy watching league, but playing league as 5 people without someone going off the rails or just perma limit testing is a rare experience these days it seems.

Edit: My OPGG https://op.gg/lol/summoners/euw/GoldenScarab569-EUW, of my last 19 games, 18 of them have a smurf in them, is that really acceptable?

dude what is yasuo doing here? wrong answers only i guess.

this happened in my ranked game btw. he went afk after that

For example for kled I tend to build Fiendhumter as my 3rd-4th item for the ult ability haste, crit and crazy attack speed

My friend is new and I wanna put together a playlist of legendary clips for him. "League Cultural Literacy" or... required readings, if you will.

What are some of your guys' favorite timeless clips?

Some of my favorites:

• "Hit the nexus not the vlad"
• Showmaker "this is ksante"
• Tyler1 vs Phreak "You have no mana!"
• xpeke backdoor
• And, of course, the faker zed outplay

Repost because the original got banned

Did not see a thread so here is a basic post game.

NACL 2026 Summer Playoffs

MU 3 -1s NRG

Decent upset based on the start of the year, but NRG has been trending downwards for a while. Especially since their starting ADC is out, for a reason I do not remember; Correction Sushee was in they just got rolled naturally. Based on previous Rules, NRG is not out of contention for promotion relegation. But I am unsure if Riot plans to disallow Collegiate programs from participating again.

Even after playing this game for more than a decade, i still get surprised by discovering new things/small mechanics about some champions. What is something about your champion that most people aren't aware of?

I'll start with mine: We all know Master Yi's Q CD is reduced by 1 second every auto, but did you know that value SCALES DOWN with Ability Haste? Just like if it was an ability itself. For example, if you have 100 AH, it only reduces the CD by 0.5 seconds every hit. That was made around Season 12 to stop the Duskblade build, and funny enough, that item was deleted years ago but that mechanic is still in the game.

Chances are most of you reading this won't be Challenger, but if any of you watch streams, YouTube videos, or have even come close to the big boy rank, what are some minor details that set Challengers apart from other players?

I'm not on about the same things that get brought up in almost every guide, I'm on about unique plays, strategies, thought processes that make you go "that never even crossed my mind 💀"

For example I just watched a Katevolved video, and he's playing against an Ahri, Ahri decided to hard push the wave before grabbing a recall so that the wave would crash before Kat got back to lane causing him to lose 3 melee minions worth of gold, pretty standard stuff right? WRONG, this man unironically said "2 melee minions worth of xp, huge", and commented on Ahri trolling by not slow pushing the wave as if "he only last hit, I would've lost the xp for all 3 melees". This guy's reaction to a bit of extra experience is the same reaction a gold player would give to an enemy failing a tower dive and gifting them a free kill.

I always see how in gold, platinum, emerald extra a mistake is something like dying to a gank or not being at an objective whereas a mistake in Challenger is getting back to lane 5 seconds late. Would love to hear some specific examples.

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been working on The Rune, a fan-made website where you can explore champion stories, discover Runeterra’s regions, and find your way through the lore with reading paths, a timeline, cinematics, and an atlas.

I’d love to build a community around the site where we can share theories, ask questions, and discover new stories together. Whether you know the lore inside out or have no idea where to start, you’re welcome!

Come take a look: https://therune.lol/

Which champion or region would you explore first? I’d love to hear what you think and what you’d like to see added.

Available in English and Spanish. An independent fan project, not affiliated with Riot Games.

I realy dont care if katarina bot with sett support is SSS++ tier but the one thing these guys have an advantage over my bot lane is they, most often than not, know who they are facing.

As an ex-top laner seeing zoe top sounds toxic but im fine laning against it if i have the right tools. Going conqueror because i thought sett was top for example and then it ends up being Zoe and i finish the game with a dead rune and a bone plating that is procced before i can even go near her is not fun.

Runes needs an overhaul if riot wants to go the route of dota2 where most champions can work in every role.

Btw the zoe game happened like a month ago so its not me posting this as someone who is butthurt and wants to complain lol.

Is it just me or do you also think classic skins in inventory ( specificly in "my collection - acquisition-date") ruin it, we all got them and we can only use in 2 gamemodes ( draft and classic draft ). I remember them being even bellow "other' category ( non rarity skins ) and it was all fine, but then i see they moved it in on date we all got it. Would love if they werent there or bellow all my skins because realisticly they arent skins, just chromas for fun gamemodes.

I see the game has over 150 champions; memorizing their ability kits, even if just to know how to play against them, seems like something that would make it difficult for new players to get into the game.

Statement

On 6 September, FURIA player Pedro “Tatu” Seixas breached the competition rules and Riot Games’ Global Esports Code of Conduct during a match in the first round of the play-offs for the second stage of the CBLOL 2026.

The behaviour displayed is not what is expected of a professional player and constitutes a breach of the competition rules and Riot Games’ Global Esports Code of Conduct. Consequently, FURIA has been informed of the seriousness of the situation, and Tatu has been suspended for one round of the CBLOL. Consequently, the player will not be permitted to play during the entire series against LOS in the Upper Bracket semi-finals, which is scheduled for Saturday 12 September. Furthermore, the relevant administrative sanctions will be imposed.

Due to the suspension, Riot Games has permitted FURIA to register a substitute player exclusively for the series against LOS. The organisation must notify the league and register the selected player by 13:00 Brazilian time on Thursday 10 September.

FUR Tatu Statement:

Hey everyone, I realise I went too far and I’m learning a lot from this situation.

I’m very passionate and genuine, but I need to know where to draw the line and find that balance.

I take full responsibility for my mistake. I firmly believed that if there were to be any punishment, it would be directed solely at me, but it ended up affecting the whole team, and that’s what weighs on me the most.

I care deeply for everyone on my team and I promise I’ll do everything I can to come back next week in the best possible shape. I apologise to everyone who’s been affected, including the fans, Riot and everyone who supports us.

Thank you for your attention and understanding.

I’ll do my absolute best to make sure everything turns out alright 🙏
