>Not tank Ekko I commend you for your unwillingness to fold to the Sunfire+Iceborne meta But I also shame you for your silly unwillingness to fold to the Sunfire+Iceborne meta

Well, congratulations for two years I guess That's about the best I can give you in a thread like this

Except that Vayne hasn't built any tank stats nor does she have very much utility. Or Zhonya's, QSS is close but not near as good And it can be used for a lot more than just diving into the enemy team Now, I wouldn't use it on a high-range utility mage like Ori or Lux. But TF, Annie, Lissandra, Morgana, Diana... The extra pick potential and ability to get into the enemy's backline at an opportune time while still guaranteeing yourself a Flash out is just really, really good. It's gonna need trash stats to not be worth the buy on a lot of champions And yeah, Malz changes are worse... But he can also benefit from Belt of Cheap Dashing

IKIK I actually have a plan for that

That's probably an okay way to look at it

Lol, very small, around the strength of a low voltage power outlet. It was probably enough to send a small convulsion through Anna's shoulder but not much more. The spot where it struck might feel a tad numb afterward I am describing my experiences accidentally touching the bare innards of a low voltage power outlet BTW. I didn't even realize why my fingers had been shaking until the numbness set in

Well, sadly, Lilith isn't going to get that chance Post up in IC

LMAO. GGnore EDIT: BTW, bonus for the underscore

(OOC: K, so, I was sick last week, sorry. As apologies, there'll be a bonus at the end of this... Which may or may not have been coming anyways but shh) Alexus - Nightmare Alexus looked around at her three companions, companions whom she had dragged into her stupid mess. Tears welled in her eyes, tears of thanks and sorrow. "Thank you all," she said, "I know it's unfair of me to drag you into this madness, but thank you anyways." She wiped her eyes and faced Sion. Her look was still one of thanks, but also one of curiosity. "Particularly you, Sion." She said, "Nobody made much of it, but I noticed that yellow quarter on the carpet. I wasn't entirely certain until just now, but I'm convinced you're a Laylite. It goes against everything you've been taught to stay and help me, self-improvement is not worth braving the unknown to your kind in this day and age. But I know for a fact that Layla herself would be proud of you for staying to strengthen yourself." Alexus gave a slight bow of her head. Sion was a strange one, or perhaps a perfectly normal one, Alexus couldn't say she knew what was strange and what wasn't anymore. She then steeled herself for what she had to say next. "Let me introduce myself: I am the ruler of the subconscious, queen of the unseen, the spirit of chance, the river which flows beyond life, Goddess of Luck and Dreams, Alexus. But above all that, I'm a schoolgirl by the name of Lexi Aislin who has found herself thrust into an unknown world where people and monsters try to kill me because of sins my past committed. I am both overwhelmed and in control, and those who would have my head have turned this state of mind and being against me. My own beloved dreams are turned to nightmares. Should I chose, I could easily erase these lands. And yet I find myself constantly alone and helpless, incapable of stopping them. They slowly draw closer to ending my existence. In fact, were it not for Sharp here those bugs earlier would surely have done me in. Because of this, I need the help of all three of you to beat back this insanity, to help me find my sisters--the other goddesses--and to stop this unknown enemy once and for all!" She clasped her hands in front of her and bowed her head behind them, "Please, please, please help me out." Natalie - Small Side Hallway Why? Why couldn't they understand how important this was? She had just wanted to talk to Haley! Why did that stupid, that stupid... That... Natalie dropped to the floor, tears overflowing from her worn out eyes and pooling on the slick tile of the hallway. She was supposed to be special, stronger than everyone else. So why, why did she always ruin everything? Suddenly, a girl with short, navy blue hair and dull grey eyes appeared in front of Natalie. She crouched down and placed her left hand on Natalie's shoulder; her right reached out to caress her cheek and its thumb struck out to wipe away her tears. A thin and sweet, almost seductive, smile spread across the girl's lips. Natalie stared at her, shock permeating her features. She had never been touched so intimately before, not even by her girlfriend. She started to protest but the hand on her shoulder suddenly moved to block her lips. "Shhh..." The girl whispered softly, "Do not speak, I am here to help." Natalie nodded numbly, unsure of how to react. She felt so vulnerable, she had no hope of lifting her mental defenses against this girl who had seen her in tears and now caressed her so intimately. Both hands grasped her cheeks, lifting her chin and forcing her to look into the girl's eyes. Natalie found herself staring far beyond the superficial grey she had noticed before; staring back into the deep black of her pupils and beyond. Behind those soft and beautiful grey eyes lay a spark, a deadly spark of white pain. A grasp of longing and obsession. Not for Natalie, no, Natalie was just a tool to this girl. A tool to acquire something she wanted desperately. "No! Get away from me!" Natalie cried out. She shoved the girl away as hard as she could and scrambled to get to her feet, but suddenly found herself falling to the floor as a leg extended to trip her. She fell backwards, landing against the wall. "Tsk tsk." The girl said, shaking her head in disapproval, "It seems your awakening has progressed farther than I had thought. Tell me, do you know what you are, how disgraceful you make yourself out to be, whimpering like that?" "Yes." Natalie whimpered, almost as if to illustrate the girl's point for her. "I see." The girl took a step back, "I guess I'll have to do this the hard way." She flung out her arms to the side, her palms extended directly away from her body. She let her head hang limply, as though it were empty and her body was being held up by her arms. She began a strange chant, one which Natalie recognized despite its corruption, "In the empty depths of hope With the flow of destiny I see the futility of luck And have surrendered to fate's whim Lend me your power That I may free myself" An orb of white light traveled up the girl's body, transforming her outfit completely. Her simple flats transformed into a pair of white heels. Her miniskirt was replaced with the long trail of a dark blue ball gown, her shirt becoming the top part. Her otherwise bare arms each had three white eyes like tattoos form on the wrist. Her hair grew longer, soft white ribbons twisting themselves into its folds. But the most drastic change was her eyes. No longer were they soft grey, now they were pitch black across the entire surface. Small white specks flickered on them, as though they were portals to the night sky filled with stars. The color drained from Natalie's face. Eyes like that could only mean one thing. "You're the Eye of Hope." She said. "I am." The Eye replied. "And you've been tainted." "I prefer to say enlightened, but it's really a matter of perspective." "How screwed are we?" "Oh dreadfully so, you most of all, Nayru." "I'm not Nayru, don't call me that, never call me that." Natalie said, what little pride her true self held shoving itself to the forefront of her consciousness, "I may have her memories and powers, but I am definitely Natalie Opium. I'm the Wicked Bitch of the School, not an almighty goddess." "Well then we have no reason to be enemies, why not join me?" "Please, join with a commoner like you? What kind of Bitch do you take me for?" Natalie would never even consider joining up with an oxymoron such as this hopeless Eye of Hope. "Your defiance is adorable, but fruitless." "Just get this over with, I have a lot of apologies I need to make after you destroy my future." "Very well then, let's begin." (OOC: Pictoor because I'm bad at describing dresses: ) Haley - Library "No, really, she may not have gone about it well, but if I'm right, what she had to say was super important and I needed to listen to... her..." Haley trailed off, her eyes widening in surprise. What was that thing doing here? Katherine had said it wouldn't show up until all four goddesses had begun their awakening, but Layla and Nayru were still asleep. Except that Nayru was waking up, and she hadn't checked on Layla in a while. What if, after all the work Katherine had put in to bring them together to prevent this, it had all been for nothing? The presence Haley was sensing, the pressure was strong enough for a normal human to feel. There was no way that it could have been something else. She stood up fast enough to knock her seat down. "I have to go find Nay- Natalie." She said hurriedly. She walked as quickly as she could for the door. It was probably best if she went alone, the others didn't need to get caught in this craziness. But she couldn't help hoping that the other two would follow her. she'd feel a whole lot safer with backup. Katherine - Offices Katherine calmly directed Emberly to a seat off to the side and sat Rein and Lee on opposite sides of a small table. "Now then, I'm going to prepare some tea for Emberly and myself." She said, a kind smile on her face, "You two are going to spend no more than ten minutes and resolve your differences with words." Her smile grew wider, feeling a bit less kind a lot more threatening. It might seem like an empty threat, but if the two couldn't work something out in time, Katherine was sure she could come up with something. That would give her at least a couple minutes to prepare for what was approaching. As terrible as it was, she hoped it went for one of the others first, she wanted to finish her duties as a teacher. Perhaps the pressure from its presence would cause the negotiations to accelerate. Lilith - Dorm Room A Lilith just glanced back and forth, unsure of how to deal with the sudden explosion of things happening around her. Her roommates were only half of it. Everything felt heavy, as though the air had become denser and harder to breathe. She looked around at her comrades, not sure if they felt it or not. And if they did, would they know what it was? She reached towards the closest of her roommates, Anna, to tap her shoulder. "Hey do you fee-" Her sentence was cut off as a spark lanced out from her fingers to strike Anna's shoulder. She pulled her hand back and instinctively shielded it. "I'm so sorry." She said quickly. This was bad, perhaps the pressure was some kind of buildup of the electricity inside her? Layla didn't really understand how it worked yet so she couldn't be sure it wasn't. "I'm sorry Miss Anna, I didn't mean to, I can't control it..." She said worriedly. She'd barely managed to deter their suspicions once, she doubted she could do it again. Eden - Outside OI Eden glared at the modern looking building. She would never understand modern culture's fascination with brick and mortar. In her mind, something with lots of shiny metal and large glass windows would look much more attractive. But that wasn't why she was glaring. She glared because the Opium Institute stood as a symbol against her. It was Kallisto's puny attempt to gather all four goddesses to stand against their inevitable demise. But Eden didn't mind, all she had really done was make an easy target. She casually strode inside, her odd outfit drawing stares from all around. She didn't care, it was within the school's dress code, albeit barely, so she had no reason to wear anything else. It wasn't that she liked the bland outfit Her had selected, it was simply easier. And easier translated to quicker which translated to killing those worthless goddesses sooner. She walked briskly towards the faculty offices where she expected to find Kallisto. From there she could use the school's files to determine the most likely locations of the others. Then she would gather them all together and unleash her pent up pain and anger upon them. Unfortunately she was female, or she would be able to do so in a much more humiliating manner. Of course if she were male she would have no reason to hate the goddesses, so it wouldn't really matter then. An angry frown creased her brow and bent her lips, she truly hated the goddesses more than anything, she would make them suffer at her hands ten times worse than she had at theirs.

It would not be implausible the authorities from Greed or Pride to arrest LOLI_HUNTER. But with the tournament being so important, I doubt anyone would come Alternatively they might come, but that wouldn't help Mommo any

The dash is Tumble length. It's at least enough to be impactful Maybe this is just Smite spilling over, but I don't like that they're giving champs whose weakness is no mobility a way to acquire it, even in such a seemingly small amount

Reading summaries, I didn't know what they'd changed yet, just the stuff about getting set up or whatever Having read the whole thing this is really just an all-around Zyra buff Belt is OP (Obvs they've tuned it, but the main thing is how extremely powerful the dash is)

Reactions as I read through the summaries Hmm... No Ori changes and the Annie things don't look too drastic. So all I'm worried about is whether or not they're killing Zyra JG The Catalyst changes I'm not expecting to be a fan of. I really like playing around level ups with it before. New Chalice is kewl, and Athene's is even kewler if it works on self-casts (I shall be playing a lot more Ori now if it does). Happy to see Lost Chapter around again, that was a really good midstage item. The hextech upgrades seem useful, the belt is OP Zhonya's build path got easier :O:O:O:O (This is definitely a Kennen buff and nothing more, definitely just for Kennen owo ) Also more CDR around in general it seems Earth dragon seems super good for maintaining dragon control overall. Getting the first one of those that pop up could be P huge

アレクスス (a-re-ku-su-su) Transliterating your name into katakana isn't particularly hard. The translator thing adds an ア after the first ス for some reason. That makes it sound like my name is "Alexuwas." Unless there's some special pronunciation for the "ua" combination that I don't know of. IDK, translators are weird As for the second, BS, way カタクナドアリ (ka-ta-ku-na-do-a-ri)

I mean, the discussion was about allied Kench... Like, there were UPS jokes
