Warmogs atmas kass seems to work ungodly well on this map.

6v6 mode is up. Who wants to try that LoL tournament again?

EDIT: I can host 6v6 custom games on Dominion/TT/Summoner's Rift. For those interested, let me know when you're available to play and what you'd be willing to play. If we get a pair of 6 people willing to play at the same time on draft mode (yes, no blind pick) on one, we can talk more.

EDIT2:


Do we have what it takes??

EDIT3:


Yus. 900+ damage per swing. Now with Singed!

Akali's stupid. I just bought her and faceroll with her without even trying. Normal queue ftw

Lotta people been saying this and Riot still has their thumbs so far up their asses to do anything about it.

Honestly right now, besides the ridiculous amount of things she brings as a champion, probably removing one of the stacks on her ult is probably the only thing I can think of that would fix her, without completely removing an entire skill she has.

It's not that she's OP, its just...normal queues suck.

What about making her more vulnerable by making her shroud smaller (thus making her more vulnerable to skill shots in it, but any reduction could probably only be small due to other effects it would have) or lowering the time you stay invisible after leaving?

See thats my complaint about her. She'd actually be no threat without the shroud, but most champions require it to be gone just to do damage, primarily because of its broken and prevents auto attacks and most click spell casts.

If you have low enough ping and click fast enough, you can hit her each time she becomes visible from attacking, but only enough for one or two hits each time, depending on what you have.

As kog maw, whenever I use my Q on her, it will always fail and put it at a 2 second cooldown. I usually have a 60 ping.

Speaking of kog maw, his ult will never reveal Wukong or Talon, yay for new champions breaking everything.

I'm... Not sure how I feel about this game.

Please tell me they were all AFK.

No, not really. After their nexus went to about 50%, 1 or 2 of them stopped trying, but still...

Methinks Akali works as intended.

You just dropped to Demonslayer's level for me. #notafan

>:O

Did you have like a level 1 on your team to bring down the skill level? I don't understand how the other team could be so bad.

My dreams has been fulfilled.



And I always wondered...
How can Lee Sin be Blinded? If he is already "The Blind Monk"?

Akali IS broken in Normal Queue, however in Draft Mode if she's not the last pick she's retardedly easy to counter. Lee Sin, a PROPER support player (meaning, someone who buys oracles and protects the squishy AD carry (and AP carry to a lesser extent)) both counter her; there's more I just can't think of them. Game isn't balanced for Normal Queue play. And in laning against an Akali, your best bet is on your first back pick up a vision ward - it's worth it. Harrass her, I don't give a fuck how much spell vamp she has, if you deny her the ability to get near the creeps she can't heal very much now can she? Stay out of her shroud, if you go into the shroud she gets a free Q + Autoattack off on you. After level 6 she gets a gap closer, so after she marks you with a Q you better be ready to either stun her, outburst her, or just stay away from her all together until it wears off. Her Q has a range of around 650 IIRC, if you're wondering.

A lot of people also don't understand how her skills work. Here's a breakdown:
Akali has two passives, each of which are unlocked by obtaining 10 AD for her 10% spell vamp, or 20AP for a damage boost on her autoattack. This increases with the more AD/AP you have.

Akali's Q is what most of her burst comes from. That's the spinny thing she throws at you, marking you for ~5 seconds. After she lands this on you her next autoattack deals a ridiculous amount of damage. STAY AWAY AFTER THIS HITS.

Akali's W is her shroud, 'nuff said. She gets a moderate armor/magic resist buff while in the shroud (increases by 10 each level put into it IIRC). Don't walk into this if you value your health bar.

Akali's E is the AoE attack she does. It's not particularly useful until she has a lich bane apart from adding some extra burst to her attacks and farming/healing.

Finally, Akali's R is her kick. At level 6 she gets the ability to kick towards an enemy unit, with about 800 range. Basically it's a glorified gap closer. The catch with this ability is that instead of using Energy, it runs off of an ammo system. Every ~20 seconds she gets another kick, up to a maximum of 3. This ability is when akali gets nasty, allowing her to get Q hits off quite easily.

New login screen with this patch, kind of halloweeny. I'll see if I can't find the image in LoL's files. As for now:

This should have it, it has all of the old ones, but not this particular patch's background.

No Xerath nerf? Laaaaaaaaaame. His range and cooldown rapes everything.

...He's not hard to counter. Don't stand still or run in lines.
