Free Talk Friday - February 23rd

Posted: 22 Feb 2018 11:58 PM PST

Hey there, /r/leagueoflegends! It's that time of the week once again - Free Talk Friday's back up and better than ever! Hope you've all had a good week <3

The Void? Kassadin's daughter? It's a familial reunion of sorts on the Rift - but not like you'd expect! This week's brought us the reveal of Kai'Sa, the Daughter of the Void. Our newest marksman (markswoman?) has hit the PBE - what do y'all think about her? Her ult, Killer Instinct, looks badass but I KNOW I'm going to get myself killed diving a bit too deep, hehe. (PS - We've got the team behind creating Kai'Sa doing an AMA on March 8th!)

Speaking of new things on the Leaguescape, we've got a whole host of newly tweaked AP items to play with! Is there any combination of item and champion (Archangel's Karthus is SO GOOD NOW) that you've found success with? Share it here!

That's it from me for this week, folks! I'll hand over the reins to you fine people now. Feel free to chat about whatever tickles your fancy - just remember, talk shop, play nice and as always, have a good weekend, fam!!

People flaming newcomers in bot games is ridiculous.

Posted: 23 Feb 2018 01:55 AM PST

I was starting up a smurf and had to get through a few bot games to reach level 3 and in each one someone was actually flaming one of the other guys in the game. The guy picked nocturne with no smite probably because he looked the coolest to the new comer and was level 4 while everyone else was over level 10 and he was getting executed in the jungle, and one guy was actually flaming him hard for the whole game. What's the point? That nocturne is probably gonna be turned off playing again now out of fear of being flamed...

This happened in each game I played (4 games guy flaming nocturne appeared in two of them). I couldn't really tell if these people were other Smurfs or just new players as well but how does the toxicity trickle all the way down to bot games for new players?

Not that there's really anything to be done other than report these people but if a new person does read this and comes across a toxic person in a bot game (a fucking bot game come on) just mute them and try move past it. Doesn't matter if you die in the jungle 5 times with no smite you have to learn somehow and hopefully you won't do that again.

Some Larger Patches Incoming

Posted: 23 Feb 2018 11:09 AM PST

Fun fact about Kai'Sa: She's going to be the first ADC with a shield.

Posted: 23 Feb 2018 09:53 AM PST

Yep. One of the most common mechanics in the game has never been part of a marksman's kit before (except Urgot). She gets it from using her ultimate.

The Irish crowd at EULCS today is a perfect exmaple of why Riot need to bring an LCS event to Ireland

Posted: 23 Feb 2018 12:51 PM PST

Ireland actually has very active amateur esporst scene and Dublin is a great city thats perfectly suited for hosting an esports event like a split final.

Also it'd increase my own chances of getting to see the LCS live by about 400%

Seriously though I don't think anyone can argue that Irish fans are anything but great for the atmosphere of a live event. Look at any traditional sport for examples!

Dardoch: Huni isn't even his final form yet, plus a special message for Lourlo

Posted: 23 Feb 2018 10:44 AM PST

Why is the client's low-spec mode keeps getting filled with dumb animations?

Posted: 23 Feb 2018 12:37 AM PST

Honestly, I had no problem with this game for 6 years, but now you gotta force all these meaningless animations. But it's okay, I mean if someone has the power, why shouldn't he enjoy some nice aesthetics? And people struggling with the client's bad optimization, we have the low-spec mode, right? Wrong, because it keeps getting filled with animations. The rune editor is notoriously power hungry anyway and Riot decides to add animations to it that cannot be disabled.

I started my promo with a win and now I lost a game because the client completely froze during the ban phase. Thank you very much.

And I hope we're already past the laughable "buy a better PC" reactions, because several high-end PCs are affected too, I know this from first hand. It is unacceptable that while a PC can run the game itself with 120 FPS, the fucking client is freezing. And not only that Riot doesn't try to optimize it better, they make everything worse.

Why does low-spec mode even exists? At this point I bet that disabling it wouldn't lower performance...

It's nice that football chants finally made it to the EU pro scene!

Posted: 23 Feb 2018 11:09 AM PST

I love it, it's much more entertaining than just listening to the casters and a silent crowd or the standard repetitive LoL chants.

Why does every update reset the audio settings?

Posted: 23 Feb 2018 06:42 AM PST

I'm tired of turning down the loud client every time it updates. Is there a way to avoid this?

Edit: the audio settings that are resetting are the WINDOWS audio settings. I use the windows audio mixer to balance the volume. How does an update affect that?
