Since I haven't been able to find a topic about this yet I'm making one. Magic the Gathering if you didn't get that from MTG.
With the upcoming Dragon's Maze set I'm kinda hyped a bit. I've been liking the guilds of Ravnica and this whole block really. The spoilers look pretty neat as well.
I was wondering if anyone here played Magic or whatever. It would also be nice to know what kinda sets you played in and what kind of decks you have etc..

Wait to people seriously max hawk shot second on Ashe?
Amateurs!

It looks fine.
I think people are over-reacting.

Team complained that we lost because we let the enemy team get Shen even though hes not that great of a pick.
Graves quit because everyone giving him too much shit. Had to ADC against 2 bot lane. Still got to my promotion series because the enemy team was shit.
It was nice.
Everyone is bad at this game.

tfw enemy team picks Nasus top after I already locked in Renekton top for our team
Counterpicking yourself is always fun to see. I dont really know what he expected to do top lane besides die
-
Sejauni is a walking ult
The only reason I would pick her up is because of a future rework
-
Jarvan is really good right now. I'm not sure about OP though.
Akali doesn't seem like she needs nerfs to me. If she doesn't snowball she really doesn't do anything. Just an annoying champ.
She will probably end up getting nerfed anyway though

Supports are dead weight late game?
And of course Nidalee is bad in team fights; she doesn't team fight, she split pushes and pokes to death until someone is weak to the point that they have to leave and go heal or get initiated on and die. The question becomes- can that be done from a support role? Probably not. And it's not just on the support to ward up, although they should probably be the ones doing it most.
As Neo said Im not saying supports are dead weight late game. They ussually provide auras for the team and most of the good supports taric, sona, zyra, lulu etc have a good amount of CC and utility they bring to fights. If you will notice Nidalee is one of the only champs without CC. Sure the heal/auto speed buff is okay but that would literally be all she has.
She can poke but what im saying is you have to sacrifice damage for support items. Even something like wota wouldn't help her damage enough to make her poke even slightly scary.

You've just laned with some really shitty nidalees
I wasn't bot lane with the Nidalee
and the our bot lane won with the Nidalee
We eventually lost though because Nidalee did not fit the support role well. There was no wards/support items and her damage/poke was laughable. Absolutely no team fight presence.
-
Nidalee support is delicious if you aren't a scrublord. Granted, she's not a traditional support, but damn does she tear up a lane when paired with an aggressive ADC.
To be honest all she has in laning potential
Past that she either builds utility and support via wards and bulwark,solari etc and contributes nothing to team fights because she has no utility in her kit
Or she builds damage with no farm so she does mild damage with absolutely no utility
Her kit isn't for supporting.
-
If I see one more person playing Nidalee support
God damn its worthless
//upset

Pretty good thread and I can agree with most of it
The Smogon hate seems a little juvenile and random though
-
Point taken, Ikaru. Anyway...
I really like the Smart Ping that's been talked about, and now is going to be introduced in the next patch. Provided that we don't get stuck with teammates who have the brain capacity of a Terry Pratchet troll taking a lava bath, the team will now be able to communicate easier and provide MIAs/SSes with less effort and still be able to send the message across to your teammates. That, and there won't be that one Morgana in mid lane who ignores you being chased now.
As for the other changes, Nidalee and the item changes seemed alright, but I feel that Kayle's Q was a bit overnerfed. It feels like you're being forced to level it earlier just so you can slow the enemy enough so that they won't be walking faster than a snail, which discourages you from eyeing your W in the support lane or your E as a mid-laner.
Xin Zhao's changes seemed alright too, but I've only played him once, so I can't really tell.
Oh, and I can tell AP Taric is going to be pretty smashing because of the new Gemcraft; Archangel's, Rod of Ages and Lich Bane are going to cause him to murder everything now... with sparkles.
I wouldn't say they overnerfed Kayle's Q. If you look at the patch notes they did increase the slow by quite a bit as well as the missle speed. Also you don't max Kayle's E in mid lane you always maxed her Q.
Kayle support is beyond terrible anyway.

Darius
- Instead of resetting if it kills an opponent, Noxian Guillotine ( R ) is now able to be recast for 12 seconds after killing an opponent.
- Noxian Guillotine ( R ) cooldown increased to 120/100/80 from 100/90/80.
I dont know why they would nerf Darius.
He's not that great of a champion
Same goes for those Shaco nerfs last patch :/

So, if anyone here actually
most likely notplays ranked, what are your thoughts on the new elo system? Because I've heard a very mixed discussion on it, and I only know basic facts such as the tiering and your actual elo now being hidden.It kinda bother me now. You gain a significant amount more by winning then by losing meaning that you will on average almost always go up rank. Series while a fun idea turns out to be more winning by chance that usually happens allowing a lot of players to climb even if they perform poorly. In addition to the safe period you get after going up a division or ranking it prevents you from losing that rank for up to 3 losses in a row, it holds your hand too much.
Long story short its more accessible and less stressful I suppose but it just allows bad players to easily gain ranks.
I dont like it ,but opinions.

What's your gripe with Hydra? It's a nice upgrade to the tiamat. Extra lifesteal and damage with a nice active. I see nothing wrong.
Well I think it's just a pretty useless item at the moment.
I mean if you just compare it to a very similar item stat-wise like bloodthirster. Which not only costs 500 gold less but gives a great deal more attack damage and almost double the amount of lifesteal.
The cleave it gives is pretty laughable. You won't get that many chances to hit more then 2 or 3 people with just one auto attack and the active. Since it's not gonna be a good item in teamfighting, laning or taking objectives it just falls short to the bloodthirster in every way. (I wouldn't even recommend getting either items on a bruiser character anyway)
I mean sure you could maybe have some fun with it in some sort of gimmicky way like Gangplank or Fiora but even then it's still wagering a lot of gold on something that will work very rarely ,and playing a sub-optimal champion.
Just some advice.
Olaf nerfs when?

Built a Hydra on Voli last night when we went all tanks. Holy shit, it's amazing.

J4 with Ravenous Hydra is really good.
Zed with Ravenous Hydra is really good.
Lee Sin with Ravenous Hydra is really good.
Fiora with Ravenous Hydra is really good.
...
Ravenous Hydra is really good.
Holy hell.
No no no no no no no no no no

I would say this is mostly a rant but if you try to jungle without smite don't even bother
Smite is so important and there's hardly a reason not to take it when jungling
I don't care if you are warwick, shaco, xin zhao or whoever
I see people not taking smite in the jungle far too often and its awful
-
No FoN or Ionic Spark.
My Signed and Mundo took a hard hit.
Then my Teemo and Ashe took another hit.
kill me pls
>Ionic Spark on Ashe
>Ionic Spark on Teemo

I think it would be interesting to have more tiers personally

I played both paper and online, but I only use online for drafts (pictured is the last deck I drafted. It was a very stompy 3-0. 11 mountains and 6 plains)
In paper I play standard, limited formats and modern. Maybe I'll get into legacy in the future.
Standard: I play Grixis control at the moment, but I have the resources to make most popular decks I just find Grixis to be the most enjoyable to play and it's very powerful
Modern: I also play Grixis control. Sometimes I mix it up with delver. Working on Blue Moon. I miss Twin
Anyone plan on drafting Eternal Masters?
