[QUOTE=Big Ben;38082654]but TT is so boring and broken, I doubt even a new skin and remake would make people play it.[/QUOTE]
I've probably played about as much TT as SR, it's way easier to get friends together for a 3v3 than a 5v5 (although 4 friends for a 5v5 is good fun!) and I really don't mind the map layout at all.
As long as the shop rework means 3 bruisers isn't an insta-win, I'm happy.
Seems like they're really putting an effort into it, complete jungle rework etc...
looks like eve is almost at perma ban status at my elo
at least i can stomp normals with her still :C
Its a pretty amazing update. Elise seems awesome.

Which is what they're trying to fix. It wont ever be as popular as SR, but a good 3v3 map would be great for those "let's get a game in quickly" sessions.
Bummer, just another mage. I was really hoping for a support champion :[

I mean, a very cool mage, and definitely pretty unique-- just not what I was hoping for!
We need a Champ as good as CC as Anivia once was. Make it so riot! Bring back global stuns!

I wonder if you could play her as a support though, she has some cc (although a skillshot) and her poke would probably be solid without having to buy ap items due to her spell based on health (probably functions like mundo's cleaver with a min damage). Her spider form also has some things that might be helpful chasing down people at low health.
Support Zyra was really fun, so maybe support Elise will be too

oh and also, if you are on a gold ranked team you get the janna skin still right? even if you arent gold in solo que?
Maybe TT will suck less now. Even if the gameplay isn't much better, at least it will be cool to look at.

They're doing more than just making it look prettier, changing the gameplay is the biggest point of this remake, the visual rework is just a little extra thing
man, i need to get ezreal. i just went 11/3/18 with him. he is pretty fun.
I have been playing alot of TT, we got a team to gold so we could all get janna skin, went 7/0 havent lost a game on that team,
an now we getting teams to gold for other people.

kyle play with me :)
Dumb question. I've been playing for a couple days and just kinda awkwardly call a lane. How do I actually know which lane I should call? I generally play Morgana if it helps
[QUOTE=Protocol7;38083470]carry me to gold piggycan[/QUOTE]

Morgana is a mid lane champion!
She is what's called an AP carry, and she is an excellent one at that.

carry's just a word used because when they get fed they, well, carry the game to victory

I remember when this confused me, too!
If you've only just started playing, then chances are the people you're playing with aren't following the metagame, so where people go will mostly be random and awkward. As you keep playing, you'll start to learn how its generally done, and why its generally done that way, and the see a shift towards more common team compositions and laning practices.
As of right now, the meta goes a bit like this:
[B]Top Lane[/B]
Top lane is generally a 1v1 matchup between more survivable champions. It's sort of the "fighter" or "deulist" lane, where durable, damaging champions are sent. Champions in this lane typically have mechanics that make them highly survivable, such as sustain, tankiness, and escapes. These champions are also capable of putting out high damage, or large amounts of team utility. This is a solo lane, which means that the champions in it level faster than they otherwise would, and to get more farm (as champions which fit in this role are often very item dependent). Possible examples of characters that fit well into this lane are: Malphite, Teemo, Riven, Sion, Cho'Gath, etc.
[B]Mid Lane[/B]
Mid lane is generally a 1v1 lane between AP carries, or ability power based mage champions who excel at dealing large amounts of damage. It's a 1v1 lane to allow for faster levelling and more farm, because AP-based champions require some very expensive items to remain viable into the late game. Champions that fit well into this lane are: Annie, Ryze, Ahri, Katarina, etc.
[B]Bottom Lane[/B]
Bottom Lane is generally a 2v2 matchup, where each team has a ranged attack damage carry being supported by a champion who doesn't need farm to make a strong impact in the game. The AD Carry will take all or most of the farm, and duel against the other AD carry with the aid of his support. AD Carries are very reliant on farm, and can snowball dramatically.
The support champion assisting the carry is one that doesn't need farm to be useful. These champions will generally have abilities that offer more utility than damage, such as buffs, debuffs, heals, or crowd control abilities. The support champion will earn gold through items that increase passive gold generation (such as philosopher's stone and heart of gold). Support Champions are charged with protecting their AD carry, while attempting to catch the enemy carry in a position that allows your lane partner to kill him.
Examples of ranged attack damage carries are: Ezreal, Graves, Corki, Ashe, Sivir, etc.
Examples of common support champions are: Alistair, Soraka, Janna, Sona, etc.
[B]Jungle[/B]
The fourth "lane" is the jungle. The last champion is expected to farm in the jungle, and to assist the other lanes by periodically coming into a lane for a "gank" to kill the enemy laner, or force them out of lane. Champions that go well in the jungle are generally required to have abilities or traits that allow the to survive the jungle minions, or to allow them to have stronger ganks. Examples of strong junglers are: Warwick, Nunu, Shyvanna, Dr. Mundo, etc.
And that's the current meta! Morgana is an AP carry champion. She is flagged as a support champion, and does have some abilities that can be used to support, but she is generally stronger as a full-mage in the mid-lane.
I assume you meant fourth not fifth lane for jungle.
Finally got the ADC role and ranked soloQ and managed to just stomp on everyone. Right at the end I ALMOST got a penta but our Amumu managed to get the last hit on Veigar. I'm a little angry but at the same time eh oh well. This would have been my 2nd penta (with Ezreal).

[quote]Another patch is about ready to hit the Public Beta Environment, so it’s time to take an in-depth look at a few of the potential updates slated to hit the Fields of Justice. We won’t cover everything, and some of this is likely to change based on your feedback, but here’s what you can expect when you log into the PBE.
League of Rengar
After his initial release, we made a series of improvements to help Rengar live up to his reputation as the ultimate predator. They worked – so well, in fact, that even after one round of nerfs Rengar’s still wreaking havoc all over the Fields of Justice.
To dial back some of the extra kick that we gave the Pridestalker, we’ve got a series of upcoming changes. Step one was taking the bonus from a Ferocity-charged Savagery attack down to a more reasonable level. We’re also reducing his base Health Regen to make him less sustainable in lane. Because his base survivability was so high, Rengar players were able to dump a disproportionate amount of their Ferocity into raw damage potential. This made him an incredibly frustrating lane bully. With his Health Regen at a more reasonable level, Rengar will now have to balance his Ferocity between sustaining with Battle Roar and raw ganking potential.
In addition to his laning presence, Rengar was able to abuse his ultimate to escape from sticky situations a little too easily. Since we wanted this ability to be about hunting people down and killing them, rather than split pushing and vanishing into the woods, we decided to reduce total stealth duration on Thrill of the Hunt and increase the cooldown. This should give the decision to go on the hunt a bit more gravitas.
Evelynn Makes Widows
Since the remake, the Widowmaker has really been living up to her name, and Agony’s Embrace has been causing tragic moments for champions all across the Fields of Justice. In an effort to mitigate the number of traumatized players Eve’s been leaving in her wake, we’re going to be dialing back the Ability Power ratio on her ultimate quite a bit. This should help to prevent her from snowballing out of control as the game goes on and she racks up AP.
Evelynn’s ultimate was intended to work as a great initiation tool, slowing enemies and giving Evelynn the shield she needed to stay up through a team fight. In conjunction with a Deathfire Grasp, however, it can brutally spike down an enemy before they can react.
Deathfire Grasp
While we’re on the subject, Deathfire Grasp is a particularly challenging item to balance because adding an additional nuke to an already bursty mage (like Evelynn) can be a rather scary proposition. Because the stats it offers are already so desirable, there’s almost no downside to folding the active ability on DFG in with your standard spell combo and simply blowing people up.
Because of the power the active brings to the table, we’ll be scaling back stat bonuses attached to DFG. We’re also scaling back the base damage on the active effect, but increasing the AP ratio to move it more toward the intended function of dealing with big, beefy tanks later in the game when you’ve had time to build up a bunch of Ability Power.
Syndra Rising
Syndra is getting a ton of quality of life improvements in the upcoming patch that should make her a lot easier to use effectively. While her overall utility placed her in a pretty strong position, getting the most out of the Dark Sovereign could be prohibitively tricky. In the new patch, her abilities should function much more intuitively. We also fixed a couple of nasty bugs that could prevent Force of Will, Scatter the Weak, or even Unleashed Power from functioning as intended, which could really hurt your game if you were relying on one them to keep an enemy at bay, set up a combo, or burst somebody down.
Jayce Gets Hammered
Jayce is proving a bit more formidable than we’d intended. The combination of Acceleration Gate and Shock Blast provides him with too much low cost poke, particularly for how difficult it can be to dodge the combo. To make Jayce players choose their shots a bit more carefully, we’re increasing the Mana cost on Acceleration Gate to make him a bit less frustrating to fight against.
We also removed the flat base damage from Thundering Blow to make early exchanges with the Defender of Tomorrow a bit less heavy hitting. We’d always intended for this skill to be a disengage tool, and having it function as his hardest hitting nuke made it a bit too powerful. Even with just the percentage damage and Attack Damage ratio to carry it, it still hits pretty hard, but should make the idea of exchanging combos with Jayce a little less of an intimidating proposition.
Robot Dancing
Sona and Blitzcrank are two supports who both bring a lot to the table, but both are actually too durable for the functions their currently serve. To make sure they pay the price for mistakes they might make in lane, we’ll be dialing back the base stats on both of these popular support champions.
For Sona, we really want to preserve the awesome poke gameplay she has with Hymn of Valor and Power Chord, but we still want her to be vulnerable when she overextends. She’s so safe in lane right now that other supports are actually less viable options by comparison. By taking her down a peg, we think we’ll actually open up the playing field in bottom lane to even more support characters.
While Blitz needs to be a great deal more durable than Sona to fill his role, right now he’s so resilient that he’s able to initiate with relatively little risk. While pulling an opponent is still definitely a viable way to initiate, Blitzcrank’s tanky attributes allow him to simply use Overdrive to run in and open with Power Fist, and then yank the opponent back into range with Rocket Grab as they start to run away. We’re pleased to see these balls-out Power Fist charges, but we’d like them to serve as more of a high-risk gambit than they currently are.
Ezreal’s Essence Fluxes
Ezreal’s been a pretty consistently dominant force in the AD carry lineup since his induction into the League, albeit with a significant learning curve. Ezreal was always intended to be a slippery, long-range, high-skill champion who relied on his extreme mobility and long range poke to take down enemies. Unfortunately, right now, the Attack Speed debuff on Essence Flux is so powerful that it allows him to dominate 1 v 1 duels without doing any of that.
[b]In the upcoming patch, we’re removing the Attack Speed debuff on Essence Flux to prevent the Prodigal Explorer from simply casting his W on an adversary and then finishing off his crippled opponent with repeated attacks. This should force Ezreal players to be quicker on their feet and win duels through superior positioning rather than a brutal debuff.[/b]
Phage and Trinity Force
On a related note, we’re also bringing the slow effect on both Phage and Trinity Force down a peg. While this isn’t a direct nerf, both Ezreal and Corki (the two prime Trinity Force customers) can snowball pretty heavily through the added chasing potential that these items provide. To give injured opponents a better chance to escape from attackers both in top and bottom lane, we are reducing the slow effect applied by ranged attacks on both items, and reducing the slow duration on Phage.
