been playing on NA tonight, and I've yet to win a game, and all 3 games I have been put against the same plat 4 person, and I am only level 19 :/

 

[Lusus]

Yeah Riot matchmaking sucks. i keep getting matched against golds with full rune pages on my level 15 account (EUNE). Though most of these are apparently boosted because i beaten most with ease, still lost the game because my team ended up feeding them and they atleast knew to carry.

Gnar is pretty good. It's just that Gnar was released just a while ago. Once people gets to know his playstyle in and out, they'll see how OP he is. Just like Lucian, when he came out everyone thought he was crap, and now people absolutely loves him as a ADC.

 

[Dragon]

I don't understand why people use him as an ADC, tbh. I mean, it's like playing as ADC Nidalee - you're not going to benefit much from the scalings you get from an ADC's normal items, unless I'm missing something. x:

I used to play on EUNE and well, uh... Noobs. I dont like to use that word, and I hate to flame but eventually the polish stereotype seemed true. I denied it non the less. Transferred to West, best 15£ ever spent.

Gnar isn't really a ADC type of champion x)
Support..? It works alright.. but not recommended. He works a lot better for top lanes. For jungle? Not really sure, haven't checked that out yet.

 

[NyxShooter]

So what do we all think about the next champ coming up? What do you think it will be and why? Mage, support, tank, fighter, assassin, hybrid? Also what design would you except from Rito, what designs would you like?

 

[Talon]

Personally (This isn't biased, I just find it to be this way), I think it will be a jungler. I mean, the latest VIABLE jungler they've added to the game was Aatrox, but his meta is top. The latest true jungler they added was Zac.

I mean if you look at this, all of the champions down to Zac, in order of being added, go like this:
Gnar - Top
Braum - Support
Vel'Koz - Mid
Yasuo - Mid
Jinx - ADC
Lucian - ADC
Aatrox - Top
Lissandra - Mid
Zac - Jungler

We're kinda over due for a new jungler. I'm hoping for some kind of assassin-type jungler. Someone that kind of uses stealth to survive. Kinda like Evelynn, but not invisible all the time. I actually, a long time ago, came up with my own idea for a champion. His name was Zurkai, and here is everything I wrote out for him:

Spoiler:

Statistics and Abilities

Primary Role: Assassin
Secondary Role: Fighter

Strengths: Powerful and fast. Can take out single enemies very fast.
Weaknesses: Frail and very kill dependent. If ganked, he has one escape ability that isn't that effective. Low health regen.

Plays most like: Rengar, Kha'Zix

Stats
Stat: Lv 0 (+level) = Lv 18
Health: 440 (+72) = 1736
Health Regeneration: 5 (+0.6) = 15.8
Mana: 0 (+0) = 0
Mana Regeneration: 0 (+0) = 0
Attack Damage: 52 (+2.7) = 113.2
Attack Range: 135 (Melee)
Armor: 25 (+2) = 61
Magic Resist: 30 (+.5) = 39
Attack Speed: 0.775 (+3%) = 1.315
Movement Speed: 365 (+2) = 401

Zurkai uses his health as a resource.



Abilities
Passive: Evolution
Every time Zurkai levels up, he gains the ability to upgrade something about himself. Each ability can be upgraded once, but must have at least 4 points (2 for ultimate) in it to upgrade. Only certain stats can be upgraded. Upgrading an ability grants the ability a special effect, or passive. Upgrading a stat gives a permanent increase in that stat. Stats can be upgraded twice.

Starts with one "Evolve" point.

The following stats can be evolved, and the effect is shown.
Attack Damage - 1. Increases AD by 5%.
2. Basic attacks are granted the ability to make targets bleed, taking 5 true damage every second. Each basic attack applies 1 stack of Bleeding to the target, and can be only be stacked 3 times. Stacks go away after 4 seconds, and deplete one at a time, dealing up to a maximum of 60 true damage.

Attack Speed - 1. Increases Attack Speed by 2%.
2. If a unit is killed, Zurkai is granted a flurry of attack speed and movement speed for 5 seconds, increasing both stats by 15% for the duration if the unit is a champion, 10% for turrets and inhibitors, 5% for monsters, and 1.75% for minions.

Attack Range - 1. Increases Attack Range to 150.
2. If a unit is hit at a range of 150, the unit will take 2% extra damage, and 1% of the extra damage will be leeched back as health by Zurkai.

Health - 1. Increases maximum health by 4%.
2. Lowers the cost of abilities by 2% of the base cost. For example, the base cost of "Incense" is 15% of current health, when this is activated, the base cost will be 13%, and decrease accordingly.

Armor - 1. Increases armor by 5%.
2. If Zurkai is hit by a basic attack, the attacker takes 15% of the damage dealt back as true damage. Can only occur once every 5 seconds.

Magic Resist - 1. Increases magic resist by 5%.
2. If Zurkai is hit by an ability, the attacker takes 10% of the damage dealt back as magic damage. Can only occur once every 7 seconds.

Movement Speed - 1. Increases movement by a flat 35.
2. When Zurkai kills a champion, he is granted a permanent 2% of their movement speed, capping at a maximum of +65 bonus movement speed. Can only occur once every 15 seconds.
Lifesteal items are 25% less effective on Zurkai.

Q: Incense
Cost: 15/12/9/6/3 (13/10/7/4/1)% of current health.
When activated, Zurkai goes into a rampage, dealing 10/20/30/40/50 extra true damage and magic damage on any attacks/abilites for the next 2/3/4/5/6 seconds.
Cooldown: 35/30/25/20/15 seconds

Evolved
Passive: The cooldown of this ability is refreshed completely if a champion is killed while this ability is active.
Visual Change: Zurkai grows blood-red claws out of the tips of his fingers, that glow when this ability is activated.

W: The Element of Surprise
Cost: 15/13/11/9/7 (13/11/9/7/5)% of current health.
Zurkai stealths himself for 3/4/5/6/7/8 seconds. During this time his sight range is increased by 15%, and his movement speed is increased by 15/25/35/45/55%. If he attacks during the duration, his stealth is lost, and he takes 25% more damage for 2 seconds. If he takes damage while stealthed, he loses his stealth, and will be slowed by 15% for 2 seconds. If he attacks an enemy from behind, they will be surprised and take 25% extra damage from the attack. When Zurkai comes out of stealth naturally, he is granted 25% attack damage, ability power, and movement speed for 2 seconds.

Zurkai can target an enemy while stealthed, and leap them. This will deal 30/40/50/60/70 +(2/3/4/5/6% of total AD) + (2/3/4/5/6% of AP) to the target, and apply Grievous Wounds. This ability does interact with Takedown, and the leap can execute enemies.

Evolved
New Effect: If Zurkai kills an enemy champion during the 2 second duration after unstealthing, he re-stealths, and the cooldown is refreshed. This effect can happen to up to 3 stealths in a row, and then has a 1 minute cooldown before it can happen again. While stealthed, Zurkai can also see in brush, and detect enemy champions and wards.
Visual Change: Zurkai grows jet black curved blades with blood red cutting edges out of the side of his forearms, starting at the wrist, and going all the up the forearm, and then continue to curve, unconnected to the body, to about halfway up the upper arm. His legs are also given the same kind of blades on the front of the shins, starting a little above the ankle, and going to just above the knees.

E: Blood Bolt (Evolved - Bloodlight)
Cost: 15(13)% of current health.
Zurkai fires a piercing bolt out of his arm-bow at the enemy, dealing 35/45/55/65/75 + 2/3/4/5/6% of attack damage and 2/3/4/5/6% of ability power as bonus damage. Has a flat cost rate, and a flat cooldown. Cooldown can not be effected by cooldown reduction.
Cooldown: 12 seconds

Evolved
New Effect: The target is lit up, dealing 65 DoT over 3 seconds, and all allied units are granted vision of the target for 7 seconds.
Visual Change: Zurkai's bolts now glow a bright red, and two small cone slashes that are red like the other parts of his body form starting from the bottom of his eyes, and coming to a point at the edges of his mouth.

R: Takedown
Cost: 25(23)% of current health.
Zurkai leaps at the target, dealing 200/300/400 + 10/30/50% of attack damage and 5/15/25% of ability power as bonus damage. If Zurkai is in brush when he leaps on his target, the damage is multiplied by 1.5. If the enemy is below 35% health, Zurkai will deal 50% more damage to them. If both of the above conditions are met, Zurkai will execute the enemy, killing them immediately, but slowing Zurkai by 50% for 2 seconds, and Zurkai loses 10 health off of his maximum health, permanently.
Cooldown: 12 seconds

Evolved
New Effect: Zurkai can "Ambush" an enemy champion with this ability while stealthed. An ambush does 35% extra damage, grants vision of the target, and slows them.
Visual Change: Zurkai grows claws wolverine style, adding a second layer of claws on his hands for more shredding power.

Zurkai CAN execute an enemy while stealthed from The Element of Surprise. He doesn't need to be in a bush, just stealthed.

So my whole idea behind him was that he was super squishy, and relied on his stealth to kill. He doesn't need much farm to get going, and scales DRASTICALLY into the late game, while his early game is pretty weak. He is a jungler, but relies mostly on auto attacks to kill enemies. As you can tell, he has a scaling move speed, so that he can actually catch his targets. He seems a little too strong to me. With his ability to execute an enemy, and with those conditions being met easily, it just seems to stronk. Any thoughts?

 

[NyxShooter]

R: Takedown
Cost: 25(23)% of current health.
Zurkai leaps at the target, dealing 200/300/400 + 10/30/50% of attack damage and 5/15/25% of ability power as bonus damage. If Zurkai is in brush when he leaps on his target, the damage is multiplied by 1.5. If the enemy is below 35% health, Zurkai will deal 50% more damage to them. If both of the above conditions are met, Zurkai will execute the enemy, killing them immediately, but slowing Zurkai by 50% for 2 seconds, and Zurkai loses 10 health off of his maximum health, permanently.
Cooldown: 12 seconds

Cool champ, but that ult seems a tad bit too strong. Say Zurkai's end build is
Black Cleaver, Phantom Dancer, Blood Thirster, Ravenous Hydra, Infinity Edge and Statik Shiv and say I have flat AD Runes and Masteries amounting to 96 base damage added up onto those items. 50% attack damage of those items alone is 142.5 attack damage and then add the flat AD Runes which would equal a whopping 238 added to that 400 damage and you get 638. 1.5 times 638 equals 957.75, 978~ thats almost enough to one shot an ADC.

 

[Selly Jr]

I'm not sure if there will be a new champion any time soon, I think it will just involve improving Gnar's kit as a champion, so far all I've seen him do in terms of effectiveness is just be a lane bully. And even then Teemo is more consistent than him in both lane and team fight scenarios

That was my general idea, was to eliminate the ADC from the fight. It takes Rengar's uniqueness away as an AD Counter. I feel like the whole idea of it executing an enemy, but having it slow him, AND he loses permanent max health, as if he wasn't squishy enough already, would balance it out a bit. The cost SHOULD say 25% of MAX health, not current health. The other abilities would be current health. I still need some tweaking to the numbers ofc, and I think the whole Blood Bolt is kinda redundant, looking back on it.

Also if anyone has an account on West and feels like playing, send me a PM. I'm down to play with some fellow PokeCommunity players.

 

[Lusus]

Will anybody buy any legacy skins for Sugar Rush?

I will pick up Phantom Karthus, Butcher Urgot and Kingpin Twitch

 

[NyxShooter]

Im considering Workshop Shaco and that's about it. I dont think any other skins are that much worth it since I don't play most of the champs that have Legacy Skins.

 

[Nolafus]

I don't really see the appeal of skins. It does make your character a little unique, but I don't want to spend money for just a different visual appeal.

 

[Sirfetch’d]

I'll be getting Safari Caitlyn, Caterpillar kog, Muse Sona, and ofc my all time favorite skin, Candy Cane Miss Fortune to complete my collection of MF skins. I am a bit addicted to skins.

[Talon]

If Rengar had a Legacy skin, I would get it. But alas, he does not....

I believe my skin collection is the best. Yeah

I feel like Rengar is actually becoming weaker. I must find a new main then. Nah, Rango is love, Rango is life.

 

[Selly Jr]

My favourite legacy skin is Definately Not Blitzcrank

 

[Lusus]

Some skins do make your champion look cooler, but otherwise yeah i don't really see the appeal of skins either. I'm just gonna buy these skins because i don't have enough RP for any 3150+ IP champion, and the skins on one day sale will cost really little for quite a nice quality (especially Phantom Karthus).

II believe my skin collection is the best. Yeah

No Riot Girl Tristana?

 

[Talon]

idk what's up with that promotion, but I've never seen to be able to get it to work. I always get the same message saying "Sorry, Riot Girl Tristana will be back shortly."
