They seem to send out all kinds of crazy surveys so I doubt they would actually bump back up to 12 per year. There was a reddit post recently about another survey asking if you would do a pay-per-month thing for exclusive features (all skins / champs unlocked etc).

It's hard to figure out what they might seriously be considering. My guess is this survey will influence future champ releases, and we might not even know because if it's a 50/50 split on votes than they'll be more inclined to keep the status quo

Diana is all over Katowice but not having the best showing so far so you might be safe

Well I wouldn't say it's a terrible showing, you gotta look at the matchups. The losses were mainly due to overall matchup than anything else. Her record is like 1-2? I didn't see every game.

Still going to see more solo queue play now. Will be worse if nalcs decide to start running her as well.

Is that generally what Diana's build towards now? Abyssal>Hourglass (can do either or first, then the other second) into nashors? I swear I'd usually get Hourglass>Lichbane almost all the time lol, but I never really play her much so /shrug.

The reason i love Diana is she can build practically anything, including tank items like Frozen Heart, and still do tons of damage.

I never liked Lich Bane but I know the 1 Challenger Diana main builds it sometimes, so it's not wrong. I like Nashor's more than Lich Bane personally. Her passive does shitloads of damage so atk speed is awesome. However I only entertain Nashors if I think I will be aa'ing opponents often.

Personally, if I'm getting super fed and don't think I need Zhonya's then I like going a ton of Magic Pen into Dcap: Abyssal --> Sorcs --> Void --> Dcap

If Im against a Zed I'll rush Zhonya's, otherwise it's usually Abyssal --> Zhonya --> Void --> Dcap

If I'm aa'ing as mentioned before then I'll do Nashor's ahead of Dcap.

I haven't been able to get to late game since the patch but I think Luden's Echo would work very nicely with her too, so I'll definitely be throwing that in somewhere.

As the caster's (and Bjergsen) have said on stream, she can get very tanky and is a good Zed counter going into late game, which is what I've preached here before. She counters all of the Assassins really due to the CC+Tanky+Dmg. Her weakness is obviously against teams with oodles of CC or tankiness. Like Swain & Cho Gath mid have been problems for me before and Annie can be a bitch too, but if you survive her burst you can kill her.

No ones talking about new AP item?

I'm about to hit 20 and figure I need to finally buy runes esp since t2 so cheap now. Any suggestions for a generic fits all loadout for like physical bruiser (top/jg) vs AP? (Only 2 pages, maybe can buy 3rd)

The needing so many tailored loadouts/pages/masteries irks me about this game, added complexity for not much of a good reason I think. As is I generally play all characters with the misc/support whatever it's called tree for extra starting potion and other things. Always forget to try changing it based on hero.

Also feel like while certain things accepted, sometimes I wonder if certain say adc's wouldnt benefit more from some defence tree stuff since they get plenty rapey just based off items in game.
New AP item is very underwhelming IMO. I tried it on nid and I believe I was in the 800 AP range and it only had +100 damage on for a total for 200 damage. Compare that to say a lichbane which at that point would be doing 400+. That being said, I could see it helping APs who have trouble with clearing the jg maybe since it hits 4 targets. All in all I will probably never buy it unless I am just being stupid and buying the highest AP items I can or something to that effect.

Sej almost 58% now for the last 24 hours. She's gonna get hit hard.

Zac is over 50% which means they have to nerf something, that's unacceptable.

I'd guess it would be pretty awesome for her (although not have any def stats kinda sucks) but since it charges on spells & movement, I bet it'd charge up pretty damn fast considering you're R'ing around the battlefield. Plus that's just even more burst when you actually R their ADC.

cj vs tsm spoiler
holy crap, just finished watching the game. tsm went from down 0-4 as well as down a dragon at 14:30 in the game to a 14-5 victory in 29:05?!
admittedly while they were 0-4 in kills, they were still up 2 towers. but, as I was watching the game, I could just feel tsm edging towards c9 level tilt. but somehow it was cj that went on tilt.

Lol, coast bought one of the challanger teams and switched half their roster with it so they have a shot at the summer split through the relegation tournament. I don't think the team they bought will be the auto-invite iirc. But should be locked for the tourney.

I dunno... Seems like it goes against the whole point of having auto-relegation if u r a shitty team and organization. Plus they are abandoning their already crappy team making their matches even worse. (didn't think it would be possible after they picked up mancloud) I am sure riot is thrilled with this all around.

Well, the upsets are what make it so much fun to watch! However, I really wished I could have seen na vs. eu at some point.

So bard is so damn fun. I swear he blows ass in laning phase because the only damage/trading you have is from your Q (which I think should get a range increase) but honestly if you roam at the right times and keep 2 or 3 health pots down around your tower you can stay pretty even. His magical journey + ult can make or break games easily. If you're Red side you can easily game from "gromp tri-bush" area and own bot everytime. Also, I've been using my ult to trap people so we can catch up. Multiple times I'll ult a guy I see mid and that gives us the full duration to get in range to follow up the CC. If it's ever the mid or adc you blow them up and then you can push objectives.

40% cdr with level 5 magical journey + mobo boots it he most fun shit ever. You just run around super fast collecting shines & laying health pots in whatever lane your closest too and port everywhere. So damn fun.

Glad I came to read this thread. The IEM website trolled me so hard by only listing the WE vs GE match as 2 games. I watched the first game, saw GE won, said "Oh there's only 2 videos so they 2-0'd shitty WE". Fuckers put both the last 2 games into one VOD.
