Little mistake correction, Keria didnt play Lux at any stage of the Worlds event, not only the finals, just by playing the champ once in any stage he could have picked her for the skin. The battle academia is a reference to Keria´s favorite Lux skin that he usually use
tbf those 10 games should simply go up to 20 or even 30. No new player is playing ranked without playing those games organically and it would further deter bought accounts
i hope the wait time for declining does not come into effect when queuing as a group. my friends often don't notice when one perons hasn't returned after a toilet break and just start queuing without them.
@@islixxn people often take a toilet break without telling anyone, and it's not like cancelling the queue is a valid option either since queue time can take quite a few minutes.
Also a cool detail about faker orianna skin is that you can see ryze's book, Syndra's helmet, azir's staff and zed's blade during the startup of the ultimate
1:16 i imagine this is to do with wintrading, the only thing i can think of is 2 or more people sitting in a dc call all in queue declining gaming until they all pop at the same time to get into the same game, then if theyre on the same team the higher ranked smurf carries the game and if they're on the enemy team the higher ranked player trolls. Higher ranked player gets paid, lower ranked player gets boosted, lowering the amount of times you can decline the game reduces the likelihood of these 2 people getting into the same game
The “decline mechanic” is when you’re in champ select you have you’re meta/otp/op champ picked because it wasn’t banned, then someone dodges… you think your champs gonna get banned next select so you decline to get a new roster/different que
10 matches is not nearly enough to stop smurfs or to teach anybody. It woulda been better if it said at least 20 hours which would equal at least 26 matches played if your matches are an average of 45 minutes. This would not only make people less inclined to smurf but also there's enough time to actually teach someone their champion if they don't have a peanut for a brain and just a pair of gloves instead of human hands. With this time you can also help newbies (if there actually are any) with getting used to the game properly and learning at least SOME matchups, while playing normal draft.
Its not supposed to harm smurfs in a severe manner its more just a publicity stunt to show that they "care". Vanguard didnt stop botting at all and barely stopped scripting (funnily enough scripters can run league without Vanguard). Riot makes a lot of money from smurfs so they are never gonna severely stop them. Funnily enough the 10 game thingy might end up back firing because bots will just start entering norms.
on the abusing queue decline, i've sometimes declined games or cancelled queue if someone dodges a game i got autofilled, or if someone on my team was trolling in champ select, in case the dodge was on the enemy team and our side was kept as is for the next match. no idea if there's any credence to it, but i have reunited with teammates after a dodge before
Ok so let's talk bout the Bloons mod. Why tf are the tankier melee minions the blue balloons (2 pops require to kill) and the ranged the lead (23 pops required). Same on redside melee are red(1 pop), ranged are purples (11pops) . Sry that bothered me ^^ otherwise really cool idea, would love some kind of TD game mode like swarm or so :D
Its sad that we didn't get the hanni lux skin but the recall animation makes it up for how cute and cool it is bot in concept and visually thank you riot for making a commemorative skin actually good and not a cash grab like some other skin im not gonna drop a name
Newjeans fandom are called Bunnies and there are always bunnies in Newjeans's stuff, like MVs and album covers so thats the refererence. I love the skins, both how they look and the thought put behind them. Gj Riot
i havent been able to decline a single game for the last 2 years without getting a 5 minute lock out, now i get a warning first this was a buff to my decline capabilities lmao
regarding queue declining: Lets say you get offrole, someone dodges, you get an insta queue pop again. You should dodge the lobby cause the game 100% just replaced your main role with a different player and you are offrole again. 2. sniping: when you see your streamer having a queue pop and yourself you could just get into their lobby and leave queue when you find a match before them.
I genuinely started crying when you mentioned Keria not getting a lux skin and they adding it in some way. The whole comforting Lux and them holding the trophy together is heart warming. Especially after our hearts broke when Keria cried after 2022 Worlds. This skin is beautiful. Keria deserves it
I think the skins are cool, just the appeal of the champions getting skins after already having worlds skins (Lee has like 3, Ori has 2 now, jhin has 2, Thresh has 2, J4 has 2, theres a handful that have worlds skins). I think they should lift the skin restriction to just the champs they played in the tournament, let the pros choose their favorite champions to give a skin to. We see the same champs in worlds almost every year, it would be nice to let Keria get that Lux skin if he wanted. Some champs have no viability in pro play, it would be nice to see those champs get love (and hell some champs that came out 5-8 years ago still have like 2 skins).
It’s crazy how a game that is riddled with toxicity and hate has creators like you who not only love the game but take the time to provide good content which covers a wide scope of what lol has to offer
My guess would be q sniping why they change the decline function and i already feel like there will be lockouts because of friends starting the q while urself are afk (i think i have too many trolls in my fl xD)
0:40 That explains why I was getting some Silver and Plat players in my normal Warm ups, been trying to improve my plays as an iron player as best I can without being tilted and also playing champs I wanna learn to win some and lose some games. At this rate I might have to use a smurf just to learn a new champ. Sure I could be playing quickplay to do that but mostly it sucks since its fill with "new" folks that don't even try to be human for a decent and non one sided game.
As a league caster, I have no idea how Captain Flowers is able to keep up with two separate fights at once. It took a lot of practice to even be able to coherently explain a single team fight going on.
I hit decline after a dodge so my champs don’t get banned if I pop the second i get out of the champ select the fact that I can only do it once now is dumb
Ranked changes : Doesn't forcing normal games before rank risk increasing number of bots in normals ? If normals matter for your placement rank, that's a great thing. Faster, fairer placement and climb. Less getting matched several divisions below your real worth, against & with other players who are in the same situation, increasing the impact of matchmaking lottery on ranked games, at the expense of integrity.

I don't know how you can fix his E to be more efficient defensively against these diving champs only, but that would be a good fix. I'm afraid their changes are gonna make it less balanced vs ranged. Maybe the E could push ennemies away on the first portion of the spell, and keep the same mechanic for the way back. As for the build, a reduction of his mana costs or some way to maintain it would be nice, or even getting rid of the mana completely, leaving that item slot for all the other shit he needs.
This is nice and all, but when can we finally have a TOGGLE SKIN option in this allegedly competitive game, where skins can alter champions to a degree that they aren't recognisable anymore?
that riot update to hinder smurfs would have worked better if they just added it to the game and never said anything about it, cause now smurfs can just throw games and get into the lesser ranks...

Ranked changes :
Doesn't forcing normal games before rank risk increasing number of bots in normals ?
If normals matter for your placement rank, that's a great thing. Faster, fairer placement and climb. Less getting matched several divisions below your real worth, against & with other players who are in the same situation, increasing the impact of matchmaking lottery on ranked games, at the expense of integrity.
Swain rework :
Love the champ as he is now. (Pls rito don't murder my champ). Just has 2 major flaws :
1. too item relyant : rylai, zonya, at least 1 mana item etc are necessary for the champ to function.
2. His E is a well balanced spell, but shit for defending against champs that stick to or run at you (typically, assassins, bruisers, divers...), making you powerless against them.
I don't know how you can fix his E to be more efficient defensively against these diving champs only, but that would be a good fix. I'm afraid their changes are gonna make it less balanced vs ranged. Maybe the E could push ennemies away on the first portion of the spell, and keep the same mechanic for the way back.
As for the build, a reduction of his mana costs or some way to maintain it would be nice, or even getting rid of the mana completely, leaving that item slot for all the other shit he needs.
