Just notifying you all that I'm done with LoL until/unless LeBlanc gets smacked by the much needed Nerfstick. Actually, I wouldn't mind if she got beat to death by it. I bid you good day.

Quite the over-reaction all four of you had in vent though.

That would have been just Lingie and Riney. Turtles and I were getting pissy because they wouldn't shut the fuck up. It's like that whenever they play (and we aren't doing too hot) anymore. Neither of them knows when or cares to shut up when they get like that.

And it's Teamspeak, anyways.

I was cracking up listening to them. I need to get on TS more often, it seems.

How good of a Kassadin do you guys think I am?

I don't think shes as op as you think she is, either that or the ones i played absolutely sucked

Well, granted, there is a high number of honest picks within the population too, but you're going to find Smurfs. Guarenteed.

Such is the downside of being able to create free accounts whenever you want.

Alright, I've played 11 games, 8-3. 2 of the losses were to Arranged Teams of obvious smurfs, one was a really good game.

I tried all of the 10 free heroes this week and then somehow I have "Corki" too, but I still have no idea what I like. I think mana-less heroes are a lot of fun, especially Dr. Mundo, but that's mostly because they tend to be more easily sustainable. Not being able to TP out of base gets old so I'm not a big fan of going back to base.

I guess I'll try the new heroes next week, overall I like a lot of the changes from DotA/HoN but the heroes are all pretty linear so far. Morgana and Lux seem to play almost identically. I can't even imagine how the game will play once everyone can blink, to be honest it seems like it would ruin a lot of the positioning elements and make melee heroes with pseudo-blink engages a lot weaker, since they have essentially a wasted skill.

Does getting hit cancel blink, is it a channel, what's the cooldown, etc.?

Getting hit doesn't cancel it, it isn't a channel, and the CD is like 120-150 I think.

It actually depends.
- The summoner spell Flash is instantaneous and blinks you to wherever your cursor is. Cannot be stopped if you are able to cast it.
- Kassadin's Riftwalk has a slight 1/4~1/5 second channel. If taunted, stunned, etc., the effects take place after you blink. 2.4-6 second cooldown depending on your cd reduction and level.
- LeBlanc's w spell... I don't know yet. Haven't played against her enough.

I don't think she's that out of balance. She's extremely good at her role of assassin, but she fades out pretty quickly unless (and often even if) she really got fed early game. Regardless, your wish is granted, as they just hotfix nerfed her to make her early game worse and her mana costs higher.

And yesterday when in the SEN 5v5 premade lobby my client crashed and pvpnet chat subsequently decided to not work.

First time Gangplank.

He is extremely easy to play as, but you make him look even easier to play... blindfolded.

So, 700 on her Silence. Still far larger than any regular spell, save heimer's grenade. Ooooh, boy, they decreased her damage on it by a grand total of 30 at level 5. Woopdie doo. The range is fine as it was, because her gay shit jump in/jump out spell lets her get right fucking next to you to cast it anyways. Her mana stuff isn't that bad anymore, now actually looks reasonable for the damage it does.

Her cooldowns need a nerf, not just the damage/mana cost. Spammable spells are gay spells. Trust me, I'm a Q-rushing Vlad and Cleaver Mundo. This nerf is almost as bad as no nerf at all, but then again, Riot is out to make money from the idiots who'll pay RP for every new champ. Since I started playing, there's only one champ that wasn't massively OP as soon as he came out, but I can't remember what his name is.

Swain wasn't too bad, but then at the time I was doing that lifesteal/bloodthirster build on Miss Fortune, whose W skill can reduce his healing from his ult by half, and that build was fairly effective against those without abilities that disable auto-attacking.

Wheres that coming from? D: That was all Lingie. I was just telling him to shut up and how to counter xD

"LeBlanc's OPness... its... OVER 9000!!!" -xXxiSm0KeW33d

Level 5 Silence wasn't the problem; her problem was early game her damage was extremely high, specifically at level 6.

Original level 6 damage output:
Sigil of Silence (level 3): 170 dmg + 20 dmg
Mimic: Sigil of Silence (greatest multiplier gains): 204 dmg + 24 dmg
Distortion (Level 3): 90 dmg
Ethereal Chains: 90 dmg
Total: 598 dmg

New level 6 damage output:
Sigil of Silence (level 3): 150 dmg + 20 dmg
Mimic: Sigil of Silence (greatest multiplier gains): 165 dmg + 22 dmg
Distortion (Level 3): 85 dmg
Ethereal Chains: 80 dmg
Total: 522 dmg

She lost 76 dmg. This is her full combo and assumes she successfully hit you with everything and got the second proc on her chain and second proc on her Silence. I didn't include AP since by level 6 she usually hasn't shopped, and more AP only widens the gap since the ultimate multiplier decreased by 1/2. By level 6 she's at 87.3% of her former damage, down 3 armor, down 50 range on her primary nuke (50 range is more than you'd think as they almost certainly were using it at maximum length), less spam-ability with greater mana costs / decreased mana pool and increased cooldown on her ultimate from 30 to 40. Ezreal lost his throne as the best AD carry in the game to not viable from similar general damage nerfs that didn't seem that great on paper.

I think you highly overrated her. I think you overrate her now too. Learn how to play against her.

You do your argument no credit. Also, to name a recent few decidedly underpowered-at-release new heroes: Lux, Swain, Kog'Maw, Urgot, Malzahar.

Ah, it was Urgot, thanks.
