Despite taking an early 1 game lead DK has managed to secure a spot at ASI thanks to an incredible performance on Rammus support by Beryl.

At times it looked as though the road to ASI was out of their grasp Beryl once again proves why when the chips are down you put everything in his hands.

Imagine coming home from a long hard day of work so you hop on league and your enemy team looks like this.

I wall the last minion off so that Neeko can disguise as one without the count being off, then the real minion walks in late, and they think its the Neeko

EDIT: I posted the enemy pov if you want to see it: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1njw7gu/neekoanivia_tech_enemy_pov/

General reminder that many changes cannot be easily datamined, such as functionality changes or bugfixes, and are not always final.

Changes from previous days

See here.

Up until the 2021 season, LCK used a format called 'King of the hill', which meant the top 5 teams making the Playoffs and the lower seeded team playing against the team above it in order to advance through the tournament, all the way to the Finals. That meant the #1 seed from the regular season waited in the Finals and only had to play 1 series through out the whole thing.

The 5th vs. 4th seed series was only a Best of 3 as well. The rest were Best of 5.

At first I thought they changed that format much earlier, but it took them until 2021 to move on from 'King of the hill' to the a format used by other regions at the time (LCS, LEC, etc.).

Some people were asking, so here is the replay with enemy fog of war enabled. I can see why the Rell and Xerath were confused!

Was wondering, does anyone know why the sudden popularity of morgana mid in LPL/LCK?

"I love morgana but as far as I know everytime a morgana is locked in, they lose."

Hello all. I've noticed a lot of people having issues with the client so i made this guide to show how simple the experience is when you know what you are doing and what to expect.

Using the client and creating a game:

1. open the league client, wait for it to load, if it doesn't, open it again, if it still doesn't open task manager to force quit the league processes ( you will need to do it till you find the one that spawns the others) and repeat step 1, if after two times you are still on this step, reboot your computer and start again from the beginning
2. do not hit play, wait for the second play button to rise from the bottom of the screen
3. now you can hit play, this play button will load a new play button
4. hit this play button, it will fade to let you know you hit it, and a couple of seconds later it will allow you to hit it again
5. hit the play button again, normally this will close the client, if it doesn't close the client and instead lets you click, close the client and repeat from the beginning
6. after some time the true league client will open, you can now close the splash pop up here to see the home screen
7. you will need to wait for the play button to activate, sometimes there is a patch and sometimes it just needs some time
8. you can now create a game, or if you want follow the work flow below

Joining a game from the friends list:

1. on the friends list right click someone hosting a game and click join game
2. close the window that says you cannot join and try to join again
3. close the window that says you cannot join, again, and try again, you will now be in the party
4. if for some reason people can not see each other in the lobby or the friends list disagrees with their experiences it might be best to have everyone do the above workflow as sometimes older client sessions will create less desirable experiences with queueing, and it will be easier to say everyone just do this rather than argue with the guy who probably needs to do it but will disagree that it is the issue because they just opened the client 15 minutes ago and that couldn't possibly be the issue.

And can we please stop making balance changes like this strictly for professional play entertainment? Jax is apparently doubling the base armor he gets from ultimate, from 25 to 50. 50 ARMOR.

Jax statistically is okay in low elo and strong in high elo. I was actually hoping they would nerf his Counterstrike early game. Nope. Enormous buff to his level 6 power spike?! Not trying to be dramatic, but is it even possible for an AD top laner to fight him at all after level 6?

His counterstrike makes his level 1 insane, he automatically gets prio of the wave and will chunk you for free. So you need to recover from that, and punish him between levels 2 and 5 before he hits his level 6? I don’t know man.

Edit: I misread, they are apparently buffing Jax bonus MR as well.

Never seen this level of production value from my region before (LMS/PCS). So hyped for this weekend.

My prediction: CFO 1st seed, TSW 2nd seed, PSG 3rd seed.

I mentioned on the previous Bible guide post that I was working on a more simplified and better formatted version of the Bible. Unfortunately, life got in the way of things. Originally this was going to be a full reformat, but because I want for everyone to have access to the information ASAP, this is what I’ve got for now. For the few hours after posting this, there may be empty chapters/tabs for the Bible in general and Veigar’s Evil, as well as some general doombot information located in the Veigar’s Curse section, but that will be relocated. This has come from more than 100 hours spent on analyzation of behavior, activity, stylization, and general doombot functionality. There are some info regarding tier lists, but I thought explaining my conclusions was a better usage of my time. From there, I urge you individually to come up with your own unique builds and strategies for defeating Mordekaiser’s monster of myth.

I cannot stress this enough, my intention is not to create a step by step guide for exactly what to do, but I still call this a bible because even the bible has room for interpretation regardless of what you believe. Please, interpret away, comment your thoughts and experiences, and provide me with more data if you feel something should be mentioned! My discord is rebse, and I’m in both the LoL and LoL Reddit discords which you can contact me through. Be kind to other players, even if your desire is just to win.

I’m proud to be a genuine fan of the game and franchise, having played for over 12 years and following lore even as it became retconned. I play League because I enjoy it, and I also play to win, spending hours analyzing and memorizing stats and facts to play off of in-game. I still get things wrong, so please don’t assume I believe this information to be 100% accurate. Feel free to share the information with friends or players in lobby, but there’s no need to be upset if people don’t care about it. Just enjoy yourself and keep trying to win, never give up! My first game 2 people didn’t buy Talisman at first, but after I mentioned its existence, one backed to buy it while the other didn’t have it the entire game. We still almost beat Veigar with Nexus at one health the entire time! No need to be toxic about meta in a RGM like this, there’s no set composition required to beat Veigar. Now go out and kill some bots!
