Welcome to this patch's General Discussion thread for the League of Legends subforum. This thread is for discussion around League of Legends. Free feel to talk about anything LoL related here that does not already have its own thread.
Think it's funny how they made a big deal about new runes, which were largely just new masteries and trashed rune altogether, not to soft re-add runes a year later.
So, the best version of the Victorious Ori skin is the one for Gold+ in 3 ranked queues and OCE has Ranked 3s only open at certain times which i can't really play at zz. Why wouldn't they make it open 24/7 for the last two weeks...
So tank Pyke will always be the better option because of his utility right? Like his kit will always make it worth going tank no?
EDIT: MAYBE the changes make him an assassin jungler instead of a support if the numbers favor lethality heavily, but I don't see tank Pyke support ever not being the best option for support Pyke

I could see lethality support Pyke work if (big if) you have a super heavy dive comp, so he can enter the fight later sort of like how Katarina wants to skirt around. The biggest issue with non-tank Pyke is that the tanky support items are honestly just too cost efficient to not get on the melee supports imo.
Lethality Pyke+Draven would be such a much fun botlane I hope the changes make non-tank Pyke work.

Phreak did the math on the changes if you're interested. For me, jungler pyke will never work and if by some miracle it does, Riot will instanerf it.
These Nunu changes don’t address his problem at all which is that they shifted so much of his power into a meme ability. For the first time I can remember an ability (e) was both converted to a skill shot and made weaker with reduced range and significantly more conditional utility. His best late game ability was gutted to make it weak enough to be a passive and his passive which was probably fine to get rid of for the most part does remove his huge lvl 6 power spike.
Outside of him getting significantly over buffed I can’t see a reason to pick him ever, Ivern does his old job better and Nautilus does his new job better(cc bot?)
Legit the only thing I can think of is full ap biggest snowball ever YouTube videos.

Yup, his design is interesting as a concept but its pretty irrelevant to high levels of play. Before Nunu was stronger the higher you go because of a better understanding of jungle pathing and counter jungling but now he seems like a champ that does better against idiots that let you get your full combo on them.
If the make the initial w stun (not charged) and damage relevant so you can use it kinda like sion ult he could see some play. But even then sion is just better unless he gets gutted.
Hope it's ok i ask here. What's best for Poppy, Tri-force or Black Cleaver? I like getting just 1 damage item to feel important, but i can't really decide which is the best.

u.gg and op.gg are both saying sunfire => Iceborne. So I guess if you're ahead enough to greed on some damage Iceborne. If you're suuuper far ahead, Triforce.
