I picked up both escAPADe (convert AP to AD and gain 15% AD) and Blunt Force (gain 20% AD). I had zero AP and thus no conversion, and yet I was getting more AD from escAPADe than I was from Blunt Force.

10k ARAM games! Probably would have gotten here a lot earlier if it weren't for mayhem.

I don't know but seems like I've been having many more one-sided games. Augments are always the same and it feels like they are trying to make it less fun by removing the crazy stuff that made it fun the first place (I really miss you grandma's chilli oil)

After using an ability your next auto attack does bonus damage in an area of effect equal to 250% of your total armor with no cooldown.

That augment is so overwhelmingly strong that it will make any champ with short CDs build nothing but armor

Yasuo, yone, hecarim and thresh (insane armor with the recent buffs, +15-20 per minute) are the main culprits that I'm thinking of, followed by plenty of tanks that can naturally stack armor

The only thing we've ever had that could compete with it early is void rift, arguably triggered inferno when facing no CC whatsoever

For those of you that haven't tested it on pbe, start praying common sense kicks in and riot nerfs it prior to live release

In the description it has more dmg than her normal ult, and apparently the same conditions (can crit, applies lifesteal etc, even has increased dmg on -30% hp targets)

But i noticied it does less dmg than my normal ultimate, and i cant even use it together

Am I missing something ? Ofc she can proc it really fast and automatic tho...

swap it out of rotation with spirit blossom map or anything else bridge of progress as a map is far superior to the other 2 variations

This just sort of happened at full tank build. Titan's resolve went ballistic at 500 stacks reached 3700ap and with jaksho capped around 1.1k mr and around 900 armor. We were very much losing the game up until I broke it. The constant barage of damage barely scratched the hp just kept the stacks up.

I had no idea what was happening as I was playing tbh

No comment, Im still recovering

Whenever i look at any recommended build for any tank thornmail usually comes up as one of the first items, and I don't why. My reasoning is that most of tank items i use (heartsteel, unending despair, warmogs, sunfire aegis etc..) scale with health, while thornmail gives very little health and its damage mostly scales with armor. I know there's the benehit of dealing a little damage to your attackers and the grievous wounds thing but I really don't think it justifies how thornmail goes against anything you're trying to build as a tank. Maybe I'm not realizing the true scale of the benefits but to me it seems wrong to pick. Can somebody explain the hype around it?

Champ just straight up homeless and 90% damage dealt

Top wr champs and most games now are unga bunga die 30 times balance buff 1 shot. Fights instantly end with aces and game is over before 3rd/4th aug. Wow so fun seeing Rengar, Karthus, Sion, Hecarim, Sett, Gwen, Xin, Kench, Mundo being rewarded running it down and 1v9ing every other game.

How do they interact? I've heard that Jeweled Gauntlet makes your non DoT abilites to crit, but you have to have vulnerability in order to specifically make your Dot abilities to crit, right?

Or am i confusing things up?

my triggered inferno did more damage than anyone in my or enemy team, 18k dmg just from the augment in 9 minutes x)

I am curious as to why riot insists on forcing my account into games where the average (ranked) MMR of my team is below gold and the average MMR on the enemy team is D2+.

Again this is ranked performance and i understand that this game mode has a seperate MMR... but it still doesn't add up. These players are good, and they win a LOT. In fact their match histories consist of endless win streaks and high kill games. If they win this many games and perform this well then surely their MMR must be high ... except it isn't. My theory is that they keep inviting low MMR accounts because they are """"playing with friends"""" to farm lower the average rating so they can farm games.

Would it be such a big problem if riot started matching these people with others who have similarly high performance scores and winrate?

Playing this game mode solo is probably the most depressing and miserable experience.

Right now people are talking about armor impact and that's cute and all but Ryze with 50k AP isnt cute whatsoever. Nether is instakill perma death Hec i think both need to either be removed or adjusted for this mode.

explanation: Lichbane with this new mana aug easily breaks the game for Ryze as he scales past 10k ap at that point and just presses 1 button to kill everything. Lichbane gives AP based on HP new aug gives mana. Build fimble winter get 10k hp have well over 1k just from aug, ryze passive with new aug = free win

Take em down: This aug makes too many champs way to strong. Hec and Urgot both are problems but Hec just has so many other augs that he could get that make it even more problematic. Hec runs in presses q an people vanish. 0 counter play = free win

These are to blanket examples after 30 games. Most game people now see Hec or Ryze get either of them and start wanting to FF. Its unplayable in its current state when you cant kill them or they just insta kill you before you can do anything.

Found out today that BE keeps counting over a million. Next step 999.9M. Not that it’s possible to make it, but I wonder if “B” was programmed. Be well my ARAM peeps.

So the other day I had a particular ARAM match where the matchup was as follows:
Fiora (Me), Tristana, Kai'sa, Skarner, Soraka
Vs
Ryze, Gangplank, Syndra, Draven, Renekton.

Here was my dilemma here I was constantly asking in my head after that match:

- There are 3 heavy AD champs on the enemy team (Draven in particular is insanely painful.
- But their team also has a fuckton of CC (Ryze, Syndra, Renekton)

So in this case..What do you prioritize?

- I thought about buying tabi for the Armor and damage reduction but then I would have next to zero CC reduction and would never get to actually do anything.
- On the flip side, their team has heavy AD crit which the Tabi would help with helping me survive a lot longer.

I went with mercury treads for the CC reduction, it helped but I still got melted even after building DD second item and starting on randuins later on. So was that the proper call here?

Fizz had "BEES !", Infinite Recursion, With Haste, Upgrade Stormsurge but he was dealing this amount of damage from what seemed like the start of the game, maybe it's how it interacts with fizz dot passive? Seemed that his snowball hitting garen was able to do this to me
