League of Legends V22 - Welcome to the League of Draven - Games

[QUOTE=papaya;37080640]no no no no no this is what everyone is missing. They're changing it because its a german name. They're not doing it specifically because its German, but because it's a reference that the user has to google to fully appreciate. Yes, there are loads of other abilities that are references to other games, but not a single one is anywhere close to Lux's ult's name and why it was changed. Some are references, sure, but because they're in English [i]you have to actually get the reference to realise its a reference[/i]. No other [b]ABILITY NAME[/b] (I know some things in the game are references most players will see as references and not get. I know that.) is like that. If you then go on at me "Oh Papaya, they're still complaining because it shows riot don't listen to the community wah", consider the following: One, someone would have had to complain first before riot had anything to not listen to. Two, the forum and r/leagueoflegends are NOT any majority of the community. Even then, some people in both communities welcome the change. Third, it's a fucking ability name for christ's sake. It's not like a skin, where the entire team sees it in the loading screen. It's not changing what the laser looks like, it's only changing the name of the ability and what the USER sees for a split second when they cast it. this is just the community pretending they have a reason to bitch at riot. also infinite light is 90% cooler than finales funkeln[/QUOTE] but was there a reason for the change? nobody seriously played lux and thought "THIS FUCKING ULT NAME SUCKS FUCKING DICK WOW I H8 U RIOT", either people didn't care or they liked it, i really can't think of anyone that dislikes Finales Funkeln other than you of course

so if nobody cared before, why do they now? people are just bandwagoning and I fucking hate it.

german names are cool riposte is french

[QUOTE=Flubadoo;37080708] riposte is french[/QUOTE] its also a fencing term.

[QUOTE=Flubadoo;37080708]german names are cool riposte is french[/QUOTE] No german words are cringeworthy And I'm german

[QUOTE=papaya;37080742]its also a fencing term.[/QUOTE] It's still French

[QUOTE=Jund;37080866]It's still French[/QUOTE] It's in the english dictionary, being originally french doesn't stop it being part of the english language

People look at ability names?

[QUOTE=Espio;37080885]It's in the english dictionary, being originally french doesn't stop it being part of the english language[/QUOTE] omg is also in the dictionary

[QUOTE=Jund;37080904]omg is also in the dictionary[/QUOTE] As an abbreviation, not an actual word.

So what if the community is bandwagoning? I can understand Riot's refusal to make balance changes based solely on community opinion, but we're talking about the naming of a skill here. If it's a meaningless and pointless change that the community as a whole does not want to happen, Riot should concede and not change it at all. It looks like Riot's just doing this change now because they want to assert their authority as the game devs and for no other reason.

[QUOTE=1chains1;37080430]And that in itself is what is her weakness. Sure, if she does well top lane and keeps up she can be scary, BUT if she falls behind her kit basically sets her up to die. Her abilities revolve around charging into the enemy to seperate the carry and killing it, but if she is for whatever reason doing poorly (countered, or maybe just jungle camping top) she will be forced to charge into the teamfight underfed and thus do very poorly. Also these days every champion has some kind of dash or cc in their kits, so the instant her ult goes down she is pretty much screwed if her team didnt take proper advantage of it. This is the reason why other tops are preferred as they dont have to rely on teammates as much to survive and also their abilities dont force them to kamikaze charge. I am not saying she can't be viable or even scary, it just seems her kit is high risk/high reward and you could do the same damage with safer tops.[/QUOTE] It's not a weakness. She's OP because she's selectively immune to damage and control for [U][I][B]8 seconds.[/B][/I][/U]

[QUOTE=Espio;37080885]It's in the english dictionary, being originally french doesn't stop it being part of the english language[/QUOTE] If gemütlichkeit can be in the dictionary I don't see why funkeln can't be in a video game I don't care about the change itself, but Riot's reasoning behind it is stupid

I thought it was for casters but who knows maybe I'm wrong with thinking that the change is for the only people who will ever actually say Finales Funkeln and not "Lux ult" or "R"

How's shyvana? She's about the only champ I don't have unlocked that I have a little bit of interest in. I played her on her freeweeks a few times, but that's been a while.

I played her on her freeweeks a few times, but that's been a while.[/QUOTE] She was my first dedicated jungler, but I have a lot more love for her in top lane these days than jungle with counter-jungling falling out of favour a bit and the fact she has no real ganks. She has very strong snowball potential, absolutely bad ass to play, great damage with burst.

[QUOTE=Jund;37081059]If gemütlichkeit can be in the dictionary I don't see why funkeln can't be in a video game I don't care about the change itself, but Riot's reasoning behind it is stupid[/QUOTE] I've never even heard of this word and I'm pretty surprised it's actually in the dictionary Regardless of whether it's in there or not it seems near impossible to actually pronounce the word correctly without looking it up first or actually being german in the first place, just like Finales Funkeln

i wish they would add a semi bkb to the game gives like 30 of MR/armor (i don't really think this is enough but i guess it'd be worth it because >magic immune) active is cc immunity, lasts for 6 seconds, has a STATIC COOLDOWN OF 80s (because if it got lower people would snowball wayyy too fuckin hard i just really wish they'd add one

[QUOTE=Dysentery;37081176]8 seconds is waaaay too fucking long considering how many champions don't have cc and how short the duration of most ccs are op as fuck[/QUOTE] was gonna write 6, fk dunno why i wrote 8 LOL

mlg sponsored by dr. pepper holy shit

i feel poppy's ult is one of the best if not the best ults in the game

[QUOTE=Feralicous;37081233]i feel poppy's ult is one of the best if not the best ults in the game[/QUOTE] Nah that's Ezreal snipe people across the map erry day

[QUOTE=NotMeh;37081266]Nah that's Ezreal snipe people across the map erry day[/QUOTE] That's Karthus' Ult.

[QUOTE=NotMeh;37081266]Nah that's Ezreal snipe people across the map erry day[/QUOTE] Shyvana's is the fucking best because huge dragon flying raping you and shit

Master Yi clearly has the best ultimate in the game.

I'm really loving Azubu Blaze's presence in these games. Giant team fights I would only usually see at or just before dragon is happening all over the place even at like, the 15 minute mark.
