ryze scales a lot better with AP after his rework, and if i remember you're not very inclined to build CDR on him since his spell reductions scale with Q cooldown- bulding CDR would lower the amount your spells get reduced by when in passive, i think? i'm not sure as far as i've seen people go roa/seraphs/void/sorc/GA/???, and ive seen either abyssal or ludens or hourglass in that slot FH on ryze just isnt the same was it was when he was a bruiser-ish mage near the end of season 4 ghost buffs are neat and i think make it a viable (not preferred) choice on twisted fate or singed or vladimir again

She zones, she peels, she bursts. Yes, she has utility, but the vast majority of the time you're using your E to get a safer initiation without getting into Q range. Yes, I misunderstood the Athene's passive, but I still don't believe it's worth it. You get 20% of your maximum mana back for every kill or assist, you get 60 more AP, and you get Grevious Wounds for only 650 more gold. The only thing you lose out on is a heal when you shield someone, and possible health regeneration. I know my Orianna. I've been playing her for almost two years now, and I've played her more than any other champion. If you're picking Orianna with the intention of primarily being a supportive mage, then you're picking the wrong champion and should go for Lulu or Karma instead.

A control mage. She's got powerful, area of effect abilities and zone control. Supportive mages being Karma, Lulu.

No, after the itemization changes, you don't go Athenes on Ori. You're not a support, and you shouldn't be soaking damage in order to gain a marginal heal when you put shield on your teammates- which, more often than not, you're using to deliver by placing the ball on your initiator.. Morellos gives 60 more AP, the same CDR, and a better passive (restoring 20% max mana on level up on a cheap 900 gold item), for only 650 more gold. Before MYMU, yes, Athene's 100%. Now, no, not so much. Athene's belongs to champions like Lulu and Karma, who are mid lane picks meant to act as protection mages. I'm still torn between Morello's and a Tear build, but you definitely do not go Athene's. Yes this was a loss, but I'm using it to make my point while staying roughly on topic (plus one-combo bot is still the best hero in the game) If you'd like to try and tell me that Athene's is superior, I'd like to see your argument for it. Riot specifically shifted Athene's to a mage-support style item, and that's not at all what you should be picking Orianna for if you have that type of play in mind.

dont take athenes on ori nonono

machine gun lulu was a trend for a while, and was actually really fun and caught some people off guard polymorph and then auto and go to town

idk it might have to do with damage dealt and kill participation and generally low skillcap on karthus, given that all you have to do is press e and run towards them and then press q/r when you die

senpai in the streets, silent in the sheets (because im usually sleeping)

the right hand of god gives zero fucks whatsoever about your metagame

where the fuck is my lil slugger trundle

if only hauntzer had played like i did today

Erick. Let's fight. 1v1 me, irl. I remember the first time I met you when I was like 13 or something and you called me out for being entirely too emotionally driven and as a result, I proved you right by getting upset and running to a friend to cry about it (lol) where's that 17 page donezo manifesto you promised me?

because i'm back, i'm dumping pictures here it's only two of them, actually, but that's unimportant

sandbagging pro, gives three kills to give poppy a sense of false security

It's time, maybe even a little overdue. Hi, I'm Diana. Diana Elise Seitz. I've been part of Reborn since February 12, 2012. This place has come a long, long way since I joined. From Reborn League Season 2 to Hostgator to moving away from PO to Showdown, and from being a tiny, tiny safe haven to being discovered by somewhere around tens of thousands of people on the internet. I've been here a shocking amount of time- from ages 12 to... well, 16. I've been here through a lot of the site's history, though there are plenty of people who have been around even twice as long. The primary reason I stayed as long as I did was because of how safe and welcome I felt around here. There was actually a time where I was absolutely terrified of Amethyst, and now there's times where I'll lovingly call her a "fucking whore who can't cs for shit". But that sense of community and acceptance was something I hadn't really been used to before and it was something I grew to love; finding people with similar interests, finding people who rivaled me intellectually, learning and growing more here than I ever really had before- because before, honestly, I'd been bullied and kicked around a lot. I hadn't ever really made friends. I spent so much more time inside and alone than gone, and it was so nice to finally have people there with me. Reborn quickly became a home, somewhere I could always return to when times were tough. And I did, a lot. A lot of the first summer I was here, I was avoiding home because of my tyrannical stepmom, my dad who was never home, and a stepfamily that just didn't want me around. But it was amazing beyond belief to be able to always log on and see the same people who welcomed me and made me feel like part of something, whether just talking about anything to getting super real. In early, early 2013 I fell in with the group of Sakuna Uta. Kaito, Eren, RJ, Huggyboo, and probably several others I'm forgetting off the top of my head. I remember that I only got in as a fluke, and i was only interested in the first place because I had an insatiable need to know what happened behind the scenes. But this was the first real "group" of friends I had at the time; I cannot thank them enough for bringing me out of my shell, toughening me up a little bit and hitting me with that education on how not to be a super big fucking edgelord. I fell in with the "regulars" on the server after that; people who had been around a while and had a commanding presence, who were usually in the center of any action. It was probably one of the highest periods of time, before I really started to get bothered by people. It didn't really last forever. In late 2013, I believe, Reborn absolutely exploded. Shofu has started playing the game, sending waves upon waves of new faces (honestly, a lot of which were undesirable) to the community, actually crashing the site for a few days as we had so much traffic that it slowed down other websites through out host. And granted, some of these people were amazing and I'm close with some of them, but I'm also opinionated in that I absolutely could not stand some of the shit that got dragged from the youtube comments section audience. Some of the stuff actually resembled things I had said a year earlier, which I would immediately refuse and continue to be embarrassed by for months afterwards. At the same time, I had started falling into League of Legends; becoming obsessed almost immediately and playing nonstop. 2014 was outstanding, except where almost nothing actually happened. I actually considered leaving a few times then, but I was given Global Mod on the forums (a really shitty choice, in hindsight- I hated browsing the forums as it was) so I stuck around for a while. The newer community had honestly started to grind on me though, to the point where I just lost interest in actually talking to people. In 2015, I've been even less active, more spiteful and generally upset with the state of affairs in the community and I've avoided it as much as I really could, but just enough to keep my Ace Member status and be called a regular. But even then, I let myself get drowned out. There's a little history, but it doesn't bring up everything. I don't believe I could ever do that. Erick, aka Neo, brought up something interesting in the Ace Members forum- the forum is split between 90% newer members who are absolutely in love with Reborn, 4% regulars who aren't really disenchanted with the place but it doesn't hold as much wonder as when they first got here, 4% regulars who are at the forefront of every shitty meme or joke or discussion, and 2% old, old members who are still around for the sake of it- who enjoyed the place as it used to be but don't anymore, and won't leave yet for the hope of seeing the place as they once did. I belong to the last group, but I'm not hanging on to here anymore. I don't need Reborn like I used to, to stay happy, to feel like I'm a part of something. I've lived out my time here, and made a ton of memories and connected with people in ways I had never even dreamed about before. I've been through years and years of this community- almost 4, now. But I've moved on. My time has come and gone, and the home I once had is gone with it, for home is not a place but it's the people who inhabit it. I don't need Reborn to keep me in high spirits anymore, or to be a place to come back to when the world is too much. And as sad as I should be about it, I'm only excited; it only feels like a burden is finally being lifted off of my shoulders, of people who have left that I miss dearly and people who I just cannot stand to be around rising to the forefront of the community. Amethyst, I cannot and will not ever be able to thank you enough for everything you've given me and everything you've done for me here. Sakuna Uta, you guys led me through one of the roughest times of my life, between just growing up and dealing with a bunch of things that nobody that young should ever really have to deal with. I've got the community of the past to thank for teaching me how to be someone I can actually respect, and for turning me on to the right things, specifically League. I can't list everyone here, but thank you. If there's any way you'd wish to reach me, I'll be on for a little while longer. sun sets on the old, but we're nocturnal anyway.
