League of Legends - General Talk

[Zetanio]

Stopped playing completely until the nerf patch rolls out. The game is in the least interesting state since I started playing.

So Teemo's kind of hosed right now. Liandri's and Luden's don't work on his shrooms. Neither does Will of the Ancients or Hextech. Add in that if a ward is placed on a shroom, the rubble when the ward dies pops the shroom. Kind of upset, because it's been known on all points since last patch, and no mention. Add in that they were going to shorten cooldown on his shrooms 3 patches ago, and haven't gotten around to it yet. ALL the impotent rage!

[D44kpunk]

There are a lot of silly bugs like that right now, oh well pre season and such

Loving the hunters item buff and the monster -15 mr.

Full clearing jungle on fiddle in 3:40, saving 20-30s over previous patch.

You're back baby.

[Mrbeansman]

Hey look Poppy got a really good update.

Hey look Poppy got a really good update.

:\

[The Stig]

Disregarding everything else mechanics/abilities wise about poppy, she looks super cute! Her old look made her look unattractive and almost trollish.

edit: can't wait for taric... i hope he retains most of his moves, I actually enjoy playing him. Tank up, and heal myself over infinite and be nearly unkillable unless 5v1

[TheDirtyHobo]

I was going to complain about that exact thing. She was one of the few characters in the game who wasn't kawaii-ified. I guess now that they added a new butch lesbian they had to get rid of one of the old ones.

Yeah. I loved her look, angry little Paladin chick with a fucking mace. She looks like a fucking loli now.

Lame.

[Aevis]

They brought her in line with their new definition of yordles, like the Tristana rework. The animations imply a generally playful/cute character type, which seems a bit strange for something like the Noxus/Battle Regalia/Blacksmith skins. I'm impressed on their design solution to distinguish the character better. Poppy always felt like a little moving clump to me and the large rod hammer makes it a lot easier to tell what's going on. Also:

Spoiler: show

Not sure about the kit yet, but the ult looks fun as hell. You better not do Baron with an enemy Poppy up now.

[Gryffes]

Poppy offers crazy zoning now, also can you imagine a flank ult onto a team sieging your own t2? it'd put multiple people behind your own turret.

[Aevis]

Shouldn't work, as they are always displaced in the direction of their own base.

[Mrbeansman]

I was just thinking Poppy would be great for those games when top or mid feeds their lane opponent and everyone else is doing well. Just hammer the problem champ out of the fight and kill the rest of the team.

Also holy hell Illaoi has the best fucking follow up engage in the game right now. A well timed aoe CC engage into her ult chunks so hard.

[Teknique]

I fucking love illaoi. She is fantastic

[Gryffes]

Losing winrates in every elo though.
Definitely a fun champ, might just take a while for people to figure out good builds/runes/masteries.

New poppy ult though I think people are underestimating the utility that ult brings.

[Teknique]

I personally like the build i built for her. Its pretty simple and i have won 90% of my games today

[Uzor]

what's your build?

And yeah, I love her too. Her scaling on the tentacles are insane. Can build her tanky and just demolish people with W.

[Teknique]

18 left 0 mid 12 right with fervor mastery. And i rush a black cleaver for the CD reduction, and then build boots, and then focus armor from then on. Once i get my deadmans plate going i finish boots and then build a stages (or whatever, 25% bonus size once you take certain amount of damage ) then it depends, By that point im usually either super tanky or not, so i might build another tank item, or build a tanky hydra. i actually have never been able to finish a triforce cause the game ends so damn fast.

Actaully just ran into a riven who dashed out of all of my Q's i was pretty steamed =/

[TheDirtyHobo]

I'm wondering just how potent Poppy's W is. I'm assuming it doesn't stop true-instant blinks (Ez, Kat, Talon, Kass, etc). Probably is also ignored by Malphite/Vi ults. If it also freezes untargeted dashes away from it if you're inside, she could be a monstrous top laner. Even if not, she could be a pretty amazing protection support. Build full tank, hug the ADC, prevent them from being dashed on and slow/pin/ult the people who try to walk up.
