[url]http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/12/1219-pbe-update.html[/url] New skins

Why do they keep giving Morgana skins when her model is complete ass

They must not have any plans to change her model for a long, long time.

it really is ridiculous how the same champs keep getting skins

That caitlyn skin looks pretty terrible

It really feels like they gave up on that cait skin.

the wukong skin looks good as hell though

[QUOTE=Firecat;49355669]that cait skin looks like it could be a quinn skin[/QUOTE] That's exactly what I said to someone, word for word, when I first saw it.

Haven't played the game in a year, jungle path for pooopy?

[QUOTE=WTF Nuke;49357236]Haven't played the game in a year, jungle path for pooopy?[/QUOTE] Gromp/Krugs > Nearest Buff > Tucan camp/Wolves or you can take the river crab. You can also go from one buff to another, keep clearing camps or back for your jungle item for the extra gold when clearing camps. I'd just say pretty standard clearing, if you are healthy enough and a lane is pushing hard you can obviously go for an easy gank around level 3.

All those skins look pretty shitty, Wukong looks like he has slug eyes. [img]http://puu.sh/m2NKY/882dd78b3a.png[/img] I cant be the only one who sees this?

I am actually really enjoying shaco jungle right now, been getting some easy first bloods because the longer time inbetween a person going to their other buffs and the usual pathing that is taken. Usually I do one of the buffs with no leash with three boxes and no smite, level q and go to their red buff. While healing with a potion i go and ward the bush that the jungler usually goes through to red. During this time I place boxes in the bush beside red bush. When I am at 2 boxes I start to do red buff using only the smite and health potions to take it. Naturally at the end of this I now have 3 or 4 boxes in that bush and I am about 1/3 of my health. It is almost like clock work, the jungler comes through and sees the shaco with almost no health just finishing his red buff. Make a panicked run for the bushes and of course they walk right into the 3 or 4 boxes. Ignite and q them and its just so beautifully cheesey I get first blood almost every time in solo que. edit - also it eliminates the safety they have in wards since you present yourself out in the open with low health. Even if they throw a ward into the bush to get vision of you running they can't see the boxes. Regardless you get an easy red or blue steal and a possible first blood or an easy escape.

what's the current opinion on graves after he got a mini-update

I'm not the type to call things too OP but seriously.. What the fuck do I do against a thunderlord Zed as Viktor. He can constantly push me in, poke me and after 2x W, Q I'm below half HP. I can't even get a Zhonya before the game is basically over. And it doesn't help that everyone is playing Lee either because of the Thunderlord shit, constantly being dived. Should I just hope that my jungler has any brains to help me or am I doing something wrong? I seriously can't find my way around it. And everytime I'm asking for help all I hear is "just get better fag" or something like that :/

really enjoying poppy atm. really satisfying to have this much control over the battlefield dont like someone, well kick that motherfucker out

Can someone explain Sterak's on Darius to me? It just doesn't seem all that strong, especially given that his ult doesn't scale with the base AD it gives you. I can see Sterak's on people like Olaf and Irellia but Darius confuses me, yet people always build it and it seems to have a pretty high win rate. Am I just underestimating it or something?

That's where Steraks comes in, it nullifies a lot of the damage you have to take you reach your target. Since Darius is so immobile he needs a few tanky items

the shield is what makes it, especially for all-in champs like darius

I guess the fact that base ad doesn't help his ult was distracting me from the rest.

also jaurim's fist is a nice little item to build early on

I play Darius almost exclusively now and I can say that building Items that give you those little off-movespeed boosts are [b]key.[/b] That and Armor Penetration. Build Phage > [i]Swiftness Boots +Alacrity[/i] (lane phase is over after this item, you win) > Black Cleaver > Youmuus Ghostblade/Maw of Malmortius > Deadmans Plate > Youmuus Ghostblade/Maw of Malmortius After those 5 you can either go for the Last Whisper > Mortal Reminder or go Spirit Visage for last item. Every item gives you either tank stats, ARPen or movespeed; leaving you with a standing 450 MS(480 w/ Deadmans), 300 AD (without passive, 400-500 AD with passive) 150 Armor/MR each and 3500 health. You become an absolute bulldozer and literally all 5 of the enemy team members will run away as soon as you show up lmfao. For extra fuckery, build: x8 ARPen reds, x1 AD Red, x3 AD Quints. And build the Precision mastery. You will end the game with 50+ flat armor pen; your E passive will give you 25% armor penetration that you can boost to 55% with the Mortal Reminder. [b]PLUS[/b] The Black Cleaver will lower the enemies armor by an extra 35%. Darius may have gotten some nerfs but holy fuck is he still an absolute monster, and even full tanks get cut down in a few hits.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/IrHdI6F.png[/img] What happened to braum this patch?

Because the popularity of ap carry bursty supports (annie, brand) and then being out classed by other tank supports, thresh has better range, tahm is overall stronger is every category, and leona has longer intiates while still gaining mr/armor buffs not to mention her abilities can ignore minions. Which is another thing I got to bring up, holy shit does support ap annoy the shit out of me. Lets take a mid apc and make it viable bot and give it decent burst if it isn't fed and stupid snowballing if it does! Like I understand the reasoning behind it, because the usual crap throwing member of the league community doesn't want to support so it is supposed to make it "fun". Honestly though it just encourages kill lanes where the support is focusing on his k/d rather than assisting the team, hell anytime I see a brand support I just dodge because I know that there is at least a 60%(obviously not accurate but you get what I mean) chance that guy has no intention of truly supporting. And for the record, I know it works, I am just annoyed at Riot for making it work.
