What is up everyone. I am KatarHero72, also known as Hyper10sion and "The Power Levels Guy" here again with day two of my revised power levels. We got the Cosmic Tier out of the way so now we move on to the beings who are still freaking nuts, but are limited to a single world in terms of their sheer scope of power. This is the Transcended Tier.
In addition at the end there will be a section of Limbo for champions who's at most could land in this tier.
Before we get started I would like to point out that only canon lore is considered. Cinematics are only canon if they are lore or individual champion related, so Twist of Fate and New Dawn are out. Fan theories and "potential" are not considered, but input from Rioters is taken into account, in context. Also the lore must be current, so Institute of War, lores contradicted by the updated bios, etc are ignored. Also I try to be as impartial as possible when making these.
Once again here is an outline of the tiers for explanation.

The Cosmic Tier: Formerly known as the God Tier but renamed so to cut down on confusion, this tier is the cosmic level beings. The lowest level of power a being must have to be on this tier is the power to impact an entire planet. They are immortal, nigh unkillable, extremely powerful, and almost as old as time itself. Just to emphasize, the beings in this tier are stated to not be gods.

The Transcended Tier: This tier are beings with incredible power, either being a being that could single handedly destroy a city or do things beyond the normal realm of possibility. These beings are more than just a human physically, and can endure far more than an empowered human on the same level. They are practically immortal, or are very close. These beings avoid the Cosmic Tier by being limited in their scope, usually to a singular region of Runeterra.

The Harbinger Tier: These are the champions with powers rivaling that of an army, or possess a non-combat ability of similar magnitude. Some of these would be Transcended Tier if not for human frailty or some glaring weakness, but are still extremely powerful.

The Magus Tier: This tier is composed of the champions not quite powerful enough to be in the Harbinger Tier, but are definitely more than a physically exceptional human. Most of these champions have some sort of size, strength, or magical power that above that of what a mortal tier champion could typically match.

The Mortal Tier: These are the champions that are still not slouches, but innately do not have power of a Magus tier champion. Most of them are merely skilled human warriors or rely on a weapon/mount for their power. A majority of human champions will be in this tier, along with a lot of your favorites.

Limbo: These champions are more or less in flux. There is not enough concrete lore to officially rate their power, or they didn't exert themselves at all so it cannot be rated. Five champions occupy this tier, however none of the original four members remain due to help from Riot and directly from Rioters.

Alright now that the explanation is out of the way I can move on to next tier, the Transcended Tier, with a pair of Limbo champions at the end.

 

The Transcended Tier

Subtiers: Ascended, Demigod, and Demonic
Champions: Aatrox, Anivia, Azir, Evelynn, Nasus, Nocturne, Ornn, Renekton, Tahm Kench, Volibear, Xerath

The Ascended: The Ascended of Shurima are essentially living weapons of mass destruction. A single Ascended could destroy an entire city with ease, with the more powerful ones being even stronger. Nasus, while at his potentially weakest point, said that he could take on a mortal army single handedly. The Ascended are short of the Cosmic Tier due to the limited range of their power in regards to the Cosmic tier champions. Though they vary greatly in power, the durability, healing factor, near immortality, and general power granted by Ascension puts them all in this tier.

Azir, The Emperor of the Sands: The ruler of Shurima is nearly invincible in his home terrain. While his power is limited outside of the desert, the deserts of Shurima are far larger than any desert here on Earth, meaning he has far more area to work with than one would think. Shortly after his resurrection, while still learning his powers, Azir recreated the entire population of Shurima's capital on the day that Xerath betrayed him. Given that the city was practically bursting due to the young emperor's scheduled ascension, an estimate of twenty thousand people is generously low, and Azir recreated them all simultaneously almost as an afterthought. Azir is not a one being army, he is a one being nation. Combining his raw power with his innate durability, longevity, and strength, Azir shifts into the Transcended Tier, and is arguably the second strongest Ascended. Walk like an Egyptian, shuffle like a Shuriman.

Nasus, The Curator of the Sands: The resident dogchamp is a brilliant tactician, a formidable warrior, and a force of nature in his own right. He managed to go toe to toe with Xerath, who is essentially a living nuclear warhead, for a time while also being weakened by his lack of practice. Despite being the weakest Ascended, he is still a powerhouse. He can imbue himself with the powers of life and death so to grow, cut several armored men in half with a single swing, create an aura of decay around him, make his enemies wither to the ends of their lives, call upon pillars of soulfire, sap the life energy from his opponents, create a small sandstorm in his vicinity, and tank hits from Xerath himself. While he is probably among the weakest champions in this tier, he is still plenty powerful enough to make his way into Transcended. This dogchamp is far more bite than bark.

Renekton, The Butcher of the Sands: Runeterra's Crocodile Dundee is among the greatest warriors ever known to Runeterra. Where the other Ascended had their power increased through magical means for the most part, Renekton became a physical freak, even as far as Ascended are concerned. Physically the strongest Ascended, Renekton is durable enough to face tank blasts from Xerath, and survive combating him for years in their joint prison. His most powerful ability is to channel his rage into his body so to create a maelstrom around him, which increases his size similar to Nasus. Combining his absolutely freakish skill, strength, and durability means that Renekton butchers the competition to get the title of Transcended. This crocodile rocks harder than Elton ever could.

Xerath, The Magus Ascendant: A slave who befriended an heir. A friend who became a traitor. A traitor who claimed Ascension. Xerath is a living nuclear explosion that is less a living weapon and more of a floating apocalypse. Widely considered to be the most powerful Ascended, Xerath is a being composed of arcane energy, which he can utilize in a myriad of ways. He can create linear blasts, concentrate energy into an orb of energy, create a blast from the skies, fly, create comets of energy to become a living mortar, has telekinesis to some extent, make his body emanate heat strong enough to create burns, withstand the combined assault of Renekton and Nasus at their peaks shortly after ascending, and topple buildings with little to no effort. Between his status as an Ascended and sheer destructive power, Xerath more than earns his place at the top of the Transcended Tier. ALL HAIL THE TRUE EMPEROR OF SHURIMA!!!

Demigod: The three Freljordian demigods are beings of legendary power that have shaped an entire region of Valoran. Immortal, practically invincible, and so powerful that calling them forces of nature is an understatement, these three are both feared and respected. They miss the Cosmic Tier by the smallest margin of any group in this tier, but their scope is just below what is needed for that tier.

Anivia, The Cryophoenix: Froggen's main is the only known demigoddess in Runeterra, shaping the Freljord with her brothers. Effectively immortal due to her constant cycle of death and rebirth, she is also the most powerful cryomancer in all of Runeterra. She can create a massive blizzard, freeze enemies on sight, create massive structures of ice, freeze the air around her to create massive ice spikes, fly, and shape a battlefield by essentially flash freezing it. With immortality and a literal blizzard at her disposal, Anivia soars high above to the Transcended Tier. When this is the bird, the bird is the word.

Ornn, The Fire Below the Mountain: Among the strongest beings in the lore, Ornn is immortal, practically invincible, and 100% done with your shit. Ornn is a demigod with control of fire and volcanic magma, and the greatest smith in all of Runeterra. His creations include the Howling Abyss, Braum's shield, and his own hammer. He can change his size, in his splash art he stands at around 30 feet (9.1 meters) according to Riot Jaredan, and in his story he stands at a towering 266 feet, or 81 meters. This ability makes sense given that his bio states that him and his siblings "take a physical form." He can generate fire using his hand and breath, manipulate magma channels to create artificial earth, cause the Freljord to snow forever because of a sneeze, fight on par with Volibear, and shape the Freljord by wrestling it. Probably his most directly powerful ability is his power to summon a ram made of stone and magma, and collide with it in a blast comparable to a cruise missile. Probably the closest overall to the Cosmic Tier, Ornn still charges through to the top of the Transcended Tier. Now leave him alone.

Volibear, The Thousand Pierced Bear: Man-Bear-Storm is what happens if Thor was a bear. Volibear is the younger of the two demigod brothers, embodying war, fury, and the storm itself. He can change his size like his brother, create a lightning storm powerful enough to punch through a volcano, nearly match Ornn in single combat, is immortal, and practically invincible. His title comes from the many weapons sticking out of his sides that his enemies never lived long enough to pull out. Despite not having much in the way of lore, enough about Volibear is found in other champions' lores for him to storm into the Transcended Tier. His onslaught is purely unbearable.

Demonic: The demons and Darkin are plagues upon Runeterra, with massive amounts of power and influence used to satisfy their own twisted desires. Runeterra's demons have been equated to immensely powerful spirits, who have physical form in the mortal plane and immense amounts of physical and magical energy, possessing immortality and an extremely high durability.. The Darkin are invaders from another world who tore Runeterra asunder in the Darkin War millennia ago. Only five of the original invaders remain, being trapped into their weapons. Upon touching a host a Darkin can exert their will over their host, regaining their original strength if they completely take over.

Aatrox, The Darkin Blade: The Edgelord of the Darkin is most likely the most powerful of his race, as his defeat became known as a massive event among the invaders. He is the only Darkin who has completely taken over his host, and as such is as close to his original power as can be expected. Aatrox is an artist on the battlefield, with slaughter and bloodshed as his masterpieces. He can fly, is practically immortal due to his binding, can drain the lifeblood of those around him, and cut down enemies by the dozens with ease. He managed to slaughter Tryndamere's entire tribe without so much as a scratch on him, and imbued the future Barbarian King with a near invincible state that hinges upon his rage. He can create waves of energy from his blade that slice the earth itself and even let out blasts of energy around him. Aatrox might not have much in the way of lore left, but from the tales pertaining to Varus, Kayn, Tryndamere, and the little we do have allow Aatrox to slice his way into the Transcended Tier due to his sheer combat power. The edge is overpowering.

Evelynn, Agony's Embrace: The demoness known as Evelynn is a monster as deadly as she is beautiful. Given form during the mass of pain and suffering caused by the Rune Wars, her true form is a walking nightmare. Using her ability to shapeshift, she takes the form of a beautiful woman so to lure her prey in, similar to the mythical succubus. Combined with her ability to turn into living shadow, rendering her effectively invisible, Evelynn is a mistress of stealth and deception. She could walk into the middle of a battlefield and slaughter the entire battlefield without being touched. Her claws can take a man's head off with ease, and her lashers allow her to be a walking blender with D cups. Add in her natural immortality, strength, and speed from being a demon, and Evelynn saunters into the Transcended Tier. Some girls will rip your heart out, but this one rips your lungs out first.

Nocturne, The Eternal Nightmare: Nocturne is a demon of fear and shadow given form and power. Similar to the famous villain Freddy Krueger, he can inhabit the dreams and minds of his victims and use their fear to increase his own power, even possessing them. Given his new canon bio from the client, it is practically certain that Nocturne is the demon that fought Lux and Garen in the "For Demacia" story. He is strong enough to cleave someone in half when given physical form, and can use the monsters of a person's nightmares against other enemies. These shadow monsters are formidable, as they managed to overwhelm Demacia's Dauntless Vanguard fairly easily. I'm not docking him much for losing to Lux because her power is practically designed to beat him. Because of his immortality, mental manipulation, army creation, and sheer power, Nocturne possesses a spot in the Transcended Tier. One, Two, Noc's coming for you.

Tahm Kench, The River King: The Two-Coats is one of the most powerful and complex characters in all of Runeterra. He is a demon who relishes in the despair of those around him, and is always ready to strike a deal. Tahm Kench isn't even his real name, it is the game of a gambler that the demon made a deal with. Kench is a crossroads demon, like Crowley of Supernatural, making deals with unsuspecting victims who don't know the real price they agreed to is a king's ransom. He is immortal, can manipulate events to fulfill his deals, teleport, knock out a large armored warrior with his tongue, and eat practically anything. His stomach is similar to Gluttony of Fullmetal Alchemist, essentially a bottomless pit from which there is no escape. He relishes in making his victims as miserable as possible, often through the payment of his deals. Between his immortality, long range teleportation, consumption ability, and event manipulation, Tahm Kench talks his way into the Transcended Tier. Uncalm the Tahm. Uncloak the croak. Uninhibit the ribbit. Unbench the Kench.

Limbo: These two champions might be in this tier. Emphasis on the word might, as their current in client lore kinda leaves very little to go off of when taken in combination with the lack of supporting lore like other champions in the Transcended Tier. They used to be in this tier, but at the moment I can't be sure. At the end of the bit on each champion I will put what I feel is the highest and lowest the champion could go.

Kayle, The Judicator: The armored angel is in a weird spot. She used to be a ten thousand year old warrior with armor forged by craftsmen allegedly on par with Ornn and a flaming sword forged before time. But now it is unclear if she is immortal, or even remotely as powerful as she was in her previous form. I mention her on this list because Transcended is probably her ceiling, but if the lore doesn't play out in her favor it could be a long fall from grace. Range: Transcended to Magus

Morgana, The Fallen Angel: League's Lucifer is in practically the same spot as her sister. Without the positive confirmation of her immortality or durability, all we have is Morgana's mastery over soul based magic, but it is to an unknown power level. Morgana fell once before in the lore, but this time she can either float or free fall through the tiers. Range: Transcended to Magus
 

Alright guys that was the second day of the updated tier lists. Still hard to believe that it has been a year since I started these, and it has been a blast doing them despite the work that had to go into these. Think I missed anyone for this tier? Put someone too high? Talk to me about it below.

How in the world is this champ not getting hotfix nerfs yet?

Like what in the world, so many champs have been hotfixed for much less, but the fact riot ignores such blatant broken stats like those is like what... Imagine if a champ like yasuo hit stats anywhere close to that, he would get his whole kit nerfed within hours, but since sion is on of riots "allowed to be overpowered" list then it'll take months to address the issue or do anything at all.

Activating Ohmwrecker creates a disruptive field around the user temporarily; enemy champions within the field cannot use item actives.

Could make for an interesting situational purchase, and maintains Ohmwrecker's current niche of being the "disabler" item. Thoughts?

Today is everyone's favorite geometric laser shooter's Birthday. Released today four years ago, he was the first Void champion of that year, followed by Rek'Sai(maybe they'll do the same thing this year). And hopefully, he'll get a nice skin this year so I don't always have to use Arclight!

I got an email to take a survey from Riot, and in the survey they asked me who my main champion was, and their list of champions didn't have a single champ released after Kindred. Maybe someone should take a look at that.

Just want to give a shout-out to the artist's over at Riot. They never fail me when it comes to event images/art, and the latest World's 2018 image is no exception. If you look closely, the outlines of the buildings make the silhouette of the Summoner's Cup. Well done!

Hi guys!

You might have seen this link before but we are really pushing for those last few participants!

I'm part of a 3 strong research team at the University of Edinburgh and our dissertation aims to investigate how certain personality traits might predict better performance within League.

The personality traits link to a variety of in game behaviours such as, toxicity, leadership, ability to remain calm... many more that I won't bore you with.

If you do choose to participate I will be eternally grateful! I can promise that anyone who emails me will get a reply directly of the study results when we finish analysis. I'll also come back to this thread and post a synopsis of the results for those interested.

here's the link: https://edinburgh.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_29Jb9KouKlW5Cbb

Again thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to do it!

My email is in the survey but to be practical, here it is: s1439353@ed.ac.uk

What is up everyone. I am KatarHero72, also known as Hyper10sion and "The Power Levels Guy." Around a year ago I started my Lore Power Levels so to provide a gauge for how powerful champions are in the lore. Everyone seemed to love them so I kept doing them whenever a new champion was introduced or an old one was reworked. Seeing as a lot has happened in a year, I've decided to redo the power levels with adjustments I have made over the past year.
This one will also be different in that this version will focus a lot more on why these champions are put in the power levels and what is keeping them there. The last version covered what each champion does, so I feel redoing that would just make it stale.
Before we get started I would like to point out that only canon lore is considered. Cinematics are only canon if they are lore or individual champion related, so Twist of Fate and New Dawn are out. Fan theories and "potential" are not considered, but input from Rioters is taken into account, in context. Also the lore must be current, so Institute of War, lores contradicted by the updated bios, etc are ignored. Also I try to be as impartial as possible when making these.
I'm going to go ahead and outline every tier at the start this time for clarification so my explanation makes more sense.
The Cosmic Tier: Formerly known as the God Tier but renamed so to cut down on confusion, this tier is the cosmic level beings. The lowest level of power a being must have to be on this tier is the power to impact an entire planet. They are immortal, nigh unkillable, extremely powerful, and almost as old as time itself. Just to emphasize, the beings in this tier are stated to not be gods.
The Transcended Tier: This tier are beings with incredible power, either being a being that could single handedly destroy a city or do things beyond the normal realm of possibility. These beings are more than just a human physically, and can endure far more than an empowered human on the same level. They are practically immortal, or are very close. These beings avoid the Cosmic Tier by being limited in their scope, usually to a singular region of Runeterra.
The Harbinger Tier: These are the champions with powers rivaling that of an army, or possess a non-combat ability of similar magnitude. Some of these would be Transcended Tier if not for human frailty or some glaring weakness, but are still extremely powerful.
The Magus Tier: This tier is composed of the champions not quite powerful enough to be in the Harbinger Tier, but are definitely more than a physically exceptional human. Most of these champions have some sort of size, strength, or magical power that above that of what a mortal tier champion could typically match.
The Mortal Tier: These are the champions that are still not slouches, but innately do not have power of a Magus tier champion. Most of them are merely skilled human warriors or rely on a weapon/mount for their power. A majority of human champions will be in this tier, along with a lot of your favorites.
Limbo: These champions are more or less in flux. There is not enough concrete lore to officially rate their power, or they didn't exert themselves at all so it cannot be rated. Five champions occupy this tier, however none of the original four members remain due to help from Riot and directly from Rioters.
Alright now that the list is out of the way I can move on to the first of the lists.

 

The Cosmic Tier

Champions: Aurelion Sol, Bard, Kindred, Zoe
Aurelion Sol, The Star Forger: Do I even need to justify this one? Aurelion Sol is very likely the most powerful champion in the entire game as far as lore is concerned. He creates stars, travels across the universe, and is practically immortal. He can easily destroy planets, as his ability to create and destroy stars is essentially a one move genocide. If he ever wants to exert effort, he can launch a blast of pure starfire, which is comparable to a small supernova. He however is not invincible, as he himself has said. Even so, he also said Targon made him fight other cosmic beings of near equal power and The Star Forger emerged victorious, meaning even among these beings of godlike power he is among the elite. Aurelion Sol personifies the Cosmic Tier in practically every way, so placing him lower would just be incorrect. When you are the center of the universe….you get placed where you want.
Bard, The Wandering Caretaker: The Cosmic Vagabond is an enigma beyond human understanding. He is a Celestial, essentially a deity from another dimension. Bard is immortal, able to move faster than the eye can see, travel through time, create portals between dimensions, freeze time around him in an area, and see throughout the fabric of time and space. He is the caretaker of objects that could destroy worlds, and even has an entire race of spirit beings called Meeps subservient to him. His mere speech is so evolved it is impossible for practically anyone to understand. He doesn't have any known weaknesses, all powers and feats for him come from his cinematic and Rioter Q&As. Bard just has too much going for him, and chimes all the way into the Cosmic Tier. chime noises
Kindred, The Eternal Hunters: The twin faces of death are essentially the Shinigami of Runeterra. When a person is going to die, they can either die peacefully by the arrow of the Lamb, or die violently at the jaws of the Wolf. Kindred is immortal, live in their own plane of existence only they inhabit, and claim the souls of the dying. Only a few have defied the pair, and even they will be outlasted by Lamb and Wolf. Kindred is probably the most controversial inclusion into the Cosmic Tier, but I can defend my placement of them. Every being on Runeterra eventually answers to them, and will be outlasted by them. Kindred has that power over everything that lives or has ever lived. Combined with immortality and probable indestructibility due to living in their own plane of existence outside that of the other champions, Kindred reaps the rewards of the Cosmic Tier. Lamb calls. Wolf Strikes.
Zoe, The Aspect of Twilight: Zoe is one of the most recent champions I have done an analysis on, so this is actually the easiest one. This little girl is capable of murder…...ing your entire freaking village as a joke. Zoe is the most powerful known avatar of an Aspect of Targon, in her case the Aspect of Twilight. She can create portals similar to a Portal gun, create a small star to fling at her enemies that gets more powerful with distance, can fly, is practically immortal to age, can alter time for others, can mimic and steal any spell she sees, and helps protect Aurelion Sol's stars from Targon's wrath. With her agelessness, interplanetary travel, sheer absurdity of her abilities, and overall power, Zoe cartoons her way straight to the Cosmic Tier.
Praise Meddler for those nerfs.
 

So that was the Cosmic Tier, formerly known as the God Tier, updated and explained for the newest reworks and champions. I also updated a few champions placement based upon new info I received from either Rioters or an update of opinion in regards to perception of the champion in context. Tune in tomorrow for the Transcended Tier, where the first casualty of the updates occurs. Who is it? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z! In the meantime, debate a bit with me in the comments about my placements and such.

Greetings, Summoners!

When Runes Reforged came out, I developed a small script that would assist me to import and export rune pages in a semi-automatic fashion. It was helpful but I knew it would have been difficult to keep it up to date. So I started the project from scratch and when I was planning everything I imagined the following features: Windows and macOS support, automatic updates, automatic import/export, retrieve pages from external sources in one click, a cool UI...

After a month of hard work, I'm pleased to announce that RuneBook is out and ready to offer all the features I originally planned!

Go to the mini-site <- You can download it from here

GitHub repo <- Source code and contributing

I'm actively working for enhancements and new features. Your feedback and contributions are really appreciated.

Please spread the word with your friends and remember:

EDIT: Will I get banned if I use it? -> RiotSargonas response

We all want Star Guardian Urgot - he is the perfect fit, after all. But Riot does not want to make such a magnificent skin because they don't think he fits the line. And that he's an 8ft tall, 6 legged walking tank with most of his body replaced by machinery, not a Japanese school girl.

However, Riot could easily implement this skin. It's probably a bit late for this year, but for next year, their April Fools event could be some kind of Runterra cosplay convention, champions dressing up in various outfits.

We got Meowkai in the past, which while a joke skin, is a legimatelt good 1350 skin. So dress up Urgot in full sparkly frills, a little skirt around his meat grinder, some lovely star and effects and flog it for 1350! Call it "Magically Cosplaying Urgot" or something and Riot could laugh their way to the bank.

Hi, Hashinshin here, today I'm going to talk about builds for top lane. First I want to discuss maokai.

For maokai you're going to want to go Ninja Tabi, Bami's Cinder, Bramblevest. Okay, now I'm going to talk about Sion.

Ninja Tabi, Bami's Cinder, Bramblevest. Okay lets talk about Ornn next.

Ninja Tabi, Bami's Cinder, Bramblevest. And now-

Ninja Tabi, Bami's Cinder, Bramblevest.

I have always liked the way Noxus Champions feel. I like how they generally survive off of fighting and carnage, with a hint of oppression in there somewhere. Its either that, or that Noxus champ is an assassin. With Swain and the nation being updated, I really like where riot has taken Noxus. We have quite a few midlaners and toplaners in Noxus, but no supports. Noxus doesn't have Junglers either, but I felt like an assistant to Draven would be cool.

I thought it would be cool if a Noxus support would be someone completely different from the other Noxus champs, but Swain found value in him so he stuck around. What do you guys think?

*edit: To those saying Sion, my main comeback is that Riot didnt intend him to be a support and I see him more top lane these days. My guess is he needs the better gold income but idk im not challeger

As the title says Forg1ven reached 14.1 cs per minute in a solo queue game where he had an inting top laner. As many consider the 10 cs mark as the almost perfect creep score I was wondering how high is the actual cs record. Also another interesting fact is that in this game he had 76% kill participation so it wasn't like he was afk farming.

The op.gg is this one: http://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=TEAM24SEVEN and it's the last Sivir game when this thread was posted.

Ran made this tweet early today about Uzi changing his ID to KaBum Mimimi (https://twitter.com/ran9225/status/968031755285413889)

Soo then i checked out if there is any other player using Kabum in their ID

and i found 3 of then

Ming (http://www.op.gg/summoner/userName=kabumyjz) has some duos with Uzi

I belive this is Zzitai (http://www.op.gg/summoner/userName=Kabum+Zantins)

and Karsa (http://www.op.gg/summoner/userName=kabumranger)

i'm not 100% sure about Zzitai and Karsa tho.

Including not only new champions but also reworks of old champions. There are many champions with both AP and AD scalings, and many champions that deal a small amount of magic damage in addition to physical damage (or vice-versa). But most of them are very focused on dealing either physical or magic damage, and scaling heavily with either AP or AD, not both.

Champion reworks have also been removing the possibility to build champions with both AD or AP, and/or making them deal mostly/only physical or mostly/only magic damage. Examples of such champions: Poppy (lost most of her AP scalings, lost the ability to build both AD or AP or hybrid, deals 90% physical damage now), Tristana (she still has AP scalings, but her rework killed the viability of her AP build), Evelynn (rework removed her AD scalings and her E was changed to magic), Shen (rework removed many of his AP scalings), Aatrox (his E lost the AP scaling and was changed to physical damage). There are some reworked champions which are still hybrid, such as Warwick, Shyvana, Kog'Maw (before his rework was reverted), and Shaco, but they were already hybrid before. The only champion which gained the possibility to build hybrid with a rework was Mordekaiser, which used to be viable only AP. Now he can build AD items too, even if he still builds AP most of time. That said, outside of this fact, his rework was a complete mess.

Most recently released champions also can only build either AD or AP, not both. They also have single scalings. We used to have very few champions which would scale only with AD, now they are a common occurrence.

That's what I like about Kai'Sa, it seems like she will have a lot of diversity when it comes to possible build paths. Full AP, crit, on-hit hybrid carry, hybrid/on-hit bruiser, lethality, she can build focusing on her autos or focusing on her spells! The only build that isn't viable on Kai'Sa is full tank. Her kit even supports the fact that she is going to be an hybrid champion.

I wish Riot released more hybrid champions, but I can understand why they don't do that often. I am afraid that some of the future reworks will remove more hybrid champions, Akali is a notable example, she is one of the very few hybrid assassins we have.

TL:DR:

• A web & mobile app to find gamers you really enjoy playing with and chat for your friends.
• Check it out here: www.getsoj.com

 

Hey League community,

I guess you all know the pain to play SoloQue with toxic strangers that feed, leave or flame. Strangers steal your role in champion select, wish you cancer when you make a mistake, report you for bullshit reasons and make unpredictable gameplays that will lose you the game. Playing a game that needs an incredible amount of team play with strangers is, in most cases, a pain in the ass. And by nature, trying to solve the complex challenges on the rift with 4 random players that don't communicate with each other is close to impossible.

 

The most obvious solution to solve this problem is queuing up with a team of friends. You can discuss your strategy and champion picks in advance, make good calls during the game and in general, playing is 10 times more fun because people you know won't flame like strangers do once a mistake happens.

 

But what if playing SoloQue with strangers is the only option for you because:

• Nobody of your friends is available to play?
• Your friends are on a different skill level (like Bronze and you Platin)?
• You don't have lots of friends playing League or don't know anybody?

 

A friend and I experienced the problem playing with toxic strangers over and over and thought:

Why isn't there a solution to easily find gamers you really enjoy playing League with?

We've now build an app to solve the problem and want you to give it a try.

 

How it works

 

Profile:

Create your profile with: League information (in-game name, ranking, role, favorite champions) Personal information (profile picture, username, age, and description)

When you add your in-game name (Summoner name) we'll check with the Riot API your level, ranking and online status and display that information only to your friends (gamers you accepted on the app). If you have multiple accounts (like smurfs) you can add those too.

 

Find New Gamers:

You can swipe through gamers and send a friend request if you want to connect. To make sure you'll only see those that match your preferences we've added filters like ranking, role, region, age or language. Filters enable you to e.g. only search for a support player on gold who's 20-23 years old.

You can also find players directly by their unique username in the app (the @name). You can also share the URL that links to your profile to let other gamers find you (like an OP.GG link).

 

Chat, Friend List & Online Status:

Once gamers accept your friend request, you can chat and see if they are online to easily figure out when to play. You can also see on which Summoner Account they are currently playing (e.g. main or smurf). Think of it as a combination of WhatsApp and the League of Legends friend list.

 

Status & what's coming in the future:

The app currently works in the browser on your PC & Mobile phone and we're planning to add more features in the future. Next, we want to make the current version more stable and build the Android app. Later on, we're planning to add group chats and a group finder feature, just to name a few :)

 

If you made it this far reading and also had a look at the app, we're curious what you think :-)

Sven and Phil, the developers.
