Look at this guy, a new champion preview.
[http://promo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/gnar/](http:// http://promo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/gnar/)
There is a new resource bar on the PBE called "Tantrum" and also called "GnarFury". He is going to be a top laner/jungle.
So some sort of Yordle Hulk i guess.
Could be fun.
Hope we get a tank.
The last one was Zac and before him the last pure tank was Nautilus. That was over 2 years ago.

Darius and Thresh can be pure tank
Darius usually goes tanky, but Thresh is a tanky support he sacrifices a lot of his tankiness for utility and vision.
Imho there are only 2 tanks, rammus, shen
Gnar revealed and he's the cutest thing ever.

Not sure about how i feel.
Darius and Thresh can be pure tank
Darius is not worth building as a full tank.
I guess Thresh can be, but considering i always play him as a sup, i am always a bit behind the others.
Imho there are only 2 tanks, rammus, shen
No Mundo?
Gnar is so adorable! (in normal form anyway) he looks fun to use
Two new skins.
Arcade MF (1350)

Riot Kayle (975)

And here his voice
YAY new arcade skin!
Cho can still tank. He can also still jungle even though nobody ever uses him for that anymore.
Here are his release skin.
Dino Gnar

His lore:
"The jungle does not forgive blindness. Every broken branch tells a story.
I've hunted every creature this jungle has to offer. I was certain there were no challenges left here, but now there is something new. Each track is the size of a tusklord; its claws like scimitars. It could rend a man in half. Finally, worthy prey.
As I stalk my prize through the jungle, I begin to see the damage this thing has wrought. I step into a misshapen circle of splintered trees. These giant wooden sentinels have stood over this land for countless ages, their iron-like hides untouched by the flimsy axes of anyone foolish enough to attempt to cut them down. This thing brushed them aside like they were twigs.
How can a creature with this level of strength disappear so easily? And yet, even though it has left this unmistakable trail of destruction, I have been unable to lay my eye upon it. How can it appear like a hurricane then fade into the jungle like the morning mist?
I thrill in anticipation of finally standing before this creature. It will make a tremendous trophy.
Passing through the clearing, I follow the sound of a stream to get my bearings once more. There I see a small shock of orange fur, crouching, waiting. I spy on it from a distance. A tiny fish splashes out of the stream and the creature scrambles for it, diving gleefully into the rushing water. To my joy, I realize it's a yordle. And a hunter, at that!
This is a good omen. The beast will be found. Nothing will escape me.
The yordle's large ears perk up and face towards me. He runs on all fours with a bone boomerang in hand, quickly stopping in front of me. He babbles.
I nod in appreciation at the young yordle and venture onwards. I traverse the difficult terrain with ease, trying to pick up any sign of my quarry. As I try to pick up his scent, a distraction. I'm startled by strange chittering. The yordle followed me. I cannot allow him to disrupt my hunt. I face him and point into the distance. He looks at me quizzically. I need to be more insistent, good omen or no.
I rear back and let out a roar, the wind whipping the yordle's fur and the ground rumbling beneath us. After a few short seconds, he turns his head and, with what I think could be a smile, he holds up his small boomerang. There can be no further delay. I snatch the weapon out of his hand and expertly throw it into a tree, impaling it high amongst the branches. He turns and scrambles for it, jumping frantically.
I barely get ten paces when a roar shakes me to my very spine. The deafening crack of stone and wood echoes all around. Ahead, a giant tree crashes across my path. The bone weapon of the yordle juts out from its trunk.
An unearthly growl rises behind me.
I've made a terrible mistake."

The videos for MF and Gnar
And the skin for Gnar[hide]
[/hide]
I think his build will be Sunfire cape, Randuin's omen, Black Clever, Last Whisper….
Or I´m wrong ?
When AP used to be good:
NEVER FORGET !!
I'm gonna adc Gnar cuz that's what I see
Teemo/Gnar top only pls
I think his build will be Sunfire cape, Randuin's omen, Black Clever, Last Whisper….
Or I´m wrong ?
Yeah, probably something similar to rengar´s/lee´s builds to make the most out of his rage transformation and not to make him completely useless in the normal form.
I didn´t post the video for the new Kayle skin.
And right when I came to be be good with Ahri Deathfire Grasp gets a nerf :')
on an unrelated news, Whoever advised me against getting Draven, you were right. I shouldnt have got him before learning to adc. :x
I dont regret getting him tho, he's Draven afterall.
Xerath may not have been that good an idea for someone quite new to the game like me to try out, cause landing his ultimate is really hard and landing e-w-q combos are just as hard without getting hit by a combo yourself. He's still really fun though and landing his ult on a recalling enemy is so satisfying
I'm finding it really hard adjusting to using an unlocked camera as was recommended to me by someone, as I always end up moving the camera too far or not noticing if my champ is being attacked
Always play with unlocked camera, hold space to temporary lock it. I basically play always with my thumb on the space bar and remove it accordingly to my needs.
A very average day in the league where you're so close to carrying your team but to your demise they decide to feed Master Yi at a certain point where theres no way back..
If you want to learn how to play mid, don´t pick Xerath, pick Annie, Katarina or Veigar.
If you want to learn how to play adc, don´t pick Draven, pick Ashe, Vayne or Graves.
Patch 4.13 is avaible.
With that we got 33 new splash arts, a Sona rework and some buff, nerfs.
Here is the link for the changes: http://www.surrenderat20.net/2014/07/patch-413-notes.html
I don´t play with Sona, are there any Sona player here that would like to discuss the new gameplay ?
Also, Gnar will have a "passive" that increases his auto attack range.
Feeders, the always feed the hyper carry, Master Yi, Jax, Vayne, Tryndamere…¬¬
When AP used to be good:
NEVER FORGET !!
I used to main Sona in rankeds in season 3.
In S4 I didn't play her that often, I found her to squishy. Played a game today with her and I'm glad they did the rework. Feels much more interactive while still keeping the "playing on the piano" feeling. Also the texture updates are simply beautiful~
I learnt mid with Viktor, but I don't recommend it ~ As for adc, I learnt that with Caitlyn. Safe, strong and overall simple kit. I wouldn't recommend Vayne however, she's a tricky one in my opinion. You need to know how to effectively kite even without much help from the team and you need to be able to dodge things and position yourself with Tumble. Graves is good though, he's been buffed with this patch as well.
I hate Yi. I was a Naut jungle, gave 5 kills for my team, he died 2 times and suddenly he got a quadra out of nowhere and then we lost. What a sad day to be a tank main :(
I agree with Nolus.
Cait is the best thing for learning adc.
Her range allows her to farm safely and harass with low risk.
She has an escaping mechanism/gapcloser, some vision traps you can use to reduce the risk of dives or stop your opponent to get some terrain back in lane, and a wonderful harass tool.
If her ulti was any better, she would be op like hell.
Vayne is hard.
In fact, she´s almost as hard as Draven, maybe more.
With Draven once you get the flow of the axes you will destroy everything.
With Vayne you must get used to the short range, to dodge everything in your way because anyone can kill you, to kite like a master, to use Tumble in the most effective way… Vayne is a nightmare.
About Sona, she was always my least favourite support. Just a walking buff provider with very little strategic play. She was just boring to play.
Maybe i should try her out again.
I am super excited about this patch! I am downloading it as I speak! One of the things that drives me nuts is the visual art of the game. Some of the splash art is so god damn ugly! So I'm glad they're doing this. Really hope they do this for Sivir's Warrior Princess skin. I mean, just look at the two:

Hardly even a contest.

I occasionally play Sona now. I used to a lot more (with every other support), but now I stick with Janna, Nami, and Leona.
I'm really happy about this. But I'm hoping that her auras buff up more than before since the range of her aura is much smaller now.
Also, thrilled that she got a visual update, cause her original was really boring. Especially compared to how her splash arts made her look.
Ahh, the support lane , you got to be a masochist to like this role.
I remember S3 when you could buy as many wards you like, I used to buy 15 wards (because no one were buying it).
And people were happy with me buying a lot of wards, nowadays…It's so sad, everytime you go back to base you buy 3 and a pink one, you place them and you see that you are the only one buying them.
When they time expire, your team says "stupid support that don´t ward".
When AP used to be good:
NEVER FORGET !!
Ashe is also a good beginner's adc, although you might want a good support with her since she's prone to getting caught. But her ulti is one of best ones out there~
Nothing beats the pleasure of slowly aiming your ult to hit at least 3 enemies slowing and stunning them, and imagining the havock your team's going to wreck after a successful Frost Arrow…
Then shooting the damned thing between 5 enemies not hitting any of the whatsoever.
It's truly a delightful sight.

Actually, S4 made supporting better in my opinion. Support main here (in both seasons). It's true the unlimited warding was fun, but now you have access to a lot of different items. I love buying Rylai on Soraka, and now I can do that since I have enough gold to buy wards/pots/trinket upgrade etc.
I… It's so true...

There there, we need to be strong! We have to carry our team so they can carry us~
BTW, I went Singed support one day, 1/4/29 
Face of the mountain, Boots of Swiftness, Tear of the Goddess, Frozen Heart, Wards and Randuin´s Omen.
Support is very rewarding to play at high elo. Painful in low elo.
I just tried out the new Sona. First off, Silent Night Sona's new look is just… <3 She actually looks like her splash art instead of a red Sona. She has a hood now and everything. And her skirt is a combined red and purple. It's just lovely.
But gameplay-wise, she's pretty damn solid. I was a bit annoyed at first because her aura doesn't last very long. Like when you're running back to lane with your adc and you use purple, you have to hope you can catch up to your adc in order for them to get the movement speed boost. Also, purple doesn't speed up minions anymore. :(
However, when I maxed out the spell, the aura lasted for a while. Toward end game, I had enough time to cast blue, throw three auto-attacks, and then move over to my adc to give him the buff. So yeah, it's not bad, but it's something new you have to get used to. Most of the auras SEEM stronger (green seems to give both health and temporarily health), and there's a far more obvious symbol on Sona's body when she has a Power Chord ready (a circle around her colored in her last spell).
And the new spell icons are new and super pretty! That's probably my favorite thing about following this game. They keep updating things and making them prettier.
Thanks for the review, Insider. I appreciate.
Anyway, did anyone liked the two new skins ? (Arcade MF and Riot Kayle) , And how about the future Halloween skin for Soraka ? Headless Soraka ?
Haven't heard anything about Halloween Soraka yet. Hope it's something awesome like a Necromancer Soraka.
Gnar revealed and he's the cutest thing ever.
Yes. This is the most deliberate case of making a cute character I've ever seen. I can't even remember any other cute champs before this.
Gnar is so adorable! (in normal form anyway) he looks fun to use
Now I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that giant form will only make him cuter to a certain demographic. I assume it will be the same crowd that loves giant dogs.
Strangely, every time a new champion is announced I regain interest in this game again. I'm saving IP for this thing now.

Couple of interesting things:
A new skin is on the way! And it seems like another Arcade skin.
From what we know, it might be a Legendary one (Ultimates doesn't fall under existing group of skins). Veigar seems like the most likely candidate, since the website assets (I guess) has his name and also that glove could belong to him. Last boss also fits him well enough.
Also, some strange things have happened to me yesterday.
A Master Yi accused me of scripting (whatever that means), and I wasn't even that good at that round. I sucked even. But I used my Zhonya's and pressed R, and I guess I'm a hacker then~
Next game I decided to go Aatrox and see if I'm good enough with him to warrant a skin (spoiler: I got Justicar). The enemy Kayle and Soraka were having fun with Revives and Soraka was jungle. I probably got reported by two teammates who didn't liked that I was dancing around with Kayle without attacking each other. Lee (our jungler) came despite my warnings and died by the Kayle who didn't even farm nor had kills or anything. It was a great match~
In the last one I had an argument with the enemy Zed that I shouldn't bring my skins to normals, so I can give others a chance, and not be with my most op champions. While this logic is quite flawed, I somehow ended up having a solid 24/2/15 stat. He said I was babysitting mid when all I did was counter-ganking the Shaco who also was on mid many times. Pretty interesting day to say the least~
Also, I hate Master Yi with passion, with passion I tell you!
I'm guessing that scripting means that you have a mapped command to do something that requires multiple steps to one key only.
Let's say you are lissandra, you theoreticaly could script her combo (Q-E-R-Q-W-R-Q or something, with the delays and stuff) and make it flawlesly.
Liss is just an example.

Huh, so this is something I've shown zero examples of doing in that game. It's not like you can do many combos with Karthus. W-E-q-q-q-q and finally a grand R.
that command sounds cool, i never can push all veigars spells in one time. w-e-deathfiregrasp-r-q and maybe an ignite
Careful with scripting, riot has a way to detect it which results in a ban.
A new voice for the new Yasuo skin (maybe Full Metal Yasuo)
Patch 4.14 is here:

A promotion with the legacy skins and other stuff will happen between the 29th of August to September 1st.

Huh, I'm taller than Graves, and most league ladies are tall.

The human champions size are ok, but the monsters are crazy, Mao 6m, Cho from 6 to 16m, Naut and Malph 10m? I'm guessing that the Yordles aren't allright either, Rumble is supposed to be small for an adult yordle.

That cyborg Raiden recall post tho.
I'm as tall as Ezreal yet he's quite heavier than me… What? And Vel'koz is weightless? Hm...
I'm as tall as Ezreal yet he's quite heavier than me… What? And Vel'koz is weightless? Hm...
I'm guessing that it includes the gauntlet. Also, Vel'koz floats, probably has some wonky void physics that make him really weightless.
I'm still baffled that Maokai and Malphite are over 3 floors high. I already had a hard time getting Moria's height right.
In-game they're certainly smaller. Like how Nautilus is a big-ass thing in the video but not that much in the game.
That gauntlet must be quite heavy~
Pantheon's only 10 kgs heavier that Caitlyn? What?
