Playing bot games is so much fun.  I'm not kidding. This Mordekaiser literally bought Zerkers and a Tiamat and took Clarity as his summoner spell. He used Children of the Grave on AsheBot when she had Banshee's shield up too. Luckily bot games are so easy that you can just win by yourself regardless of what any of your teammates are doing.

Well I bet he's more fun to play now. But I still think it's kind of sad that the only way they could fix the ult was "turn it into a damage spell". Because almost every ultimate in this game is a damage spell.
I like DotA's ultimates more because they do all kinds of random shit. Dark Seer's ultimate puts a wall on the ground and any enemy passing through it creates an illusion that you control, Rubick's ultimate steals an enemy spell and turns it into your spell, Night Stalker's ultimate simply creates a period of night in which his abilities are stronger etc. In League, most champs ultimate is a "spell that deals more damage than your other spells."

I might start playing Vlad again now that Rylai's is crazy-good on him.
Also, Sion was originally intended to be a physical damage champion. It's just that he was designed at a time when physical damage champions only had AP ratios on their skills, and his AP ratios were so high that people preferred building him that way. Compare Sion to Tristana and Yi, two other champs that are also intended to be AD champions but some people play them as AP because of their ratios (your results may vary).

Because they were banned 95% of the time? I wouldn't say that Morde deserved it since he's so easy to counter, but Orianna definitely needed a nerf since her damage output was far too high for someone with so great range.
In this case, I think they're listening to the low-skill players and helping them a little bit. Some champions are just crazy in low-skill games since no one knows how to counter them, so they get nerfed even though they're not that good in the top level of play. Evelynn for example could really wreck unorganized teams but couldn't do a lot against a good team.

i think the easiest person to kite is singed
Ehhh. Maybe. The thing about Singed is that almost every serious Singed player buys all mobility items and takes mobility summoners in order to deal with that weakness. When I play Singed I often have a setup with movement speed quints, Ghost, Boots of Swiftness and a Force of Nature. Singed's ult gives him 65 movement speed too, and he has a ranged slow. With all these things it's very hard to prevent him from going somewhere.

Ashe is basically the master of kiting, since she has good range on her basic attacks and they also slow the enemy significantly.
The best counter against kiting is to have a gap closer, so champs like Xin Zhao and Warwick are good against Ashe. Champs with poor range and no good gap closer such as Garen and Morde are especially susceptible to being kited.

It's only in the American PCG though. So basically no one on the European server will get that skin.

Things Morde is good at: Farming, pushing, making ghosts (if the enemy doesn't have a Quicksilver Sash)
Things Morde sucks at: Chasing, escaping, crowd control
Things that Morde counters: Champions that don't do a lot of damage, champions that can't defend towers, players who are too dumb to buy Quicksilver Sash
Things that counter Morde: Kiting, focus fire, Quicksilver Sash

Also, Mordekaiser is only overpowered because no one knows what a Quicksilver Sash is.

I can think of several champs who don't care much if you silence them. Stuns are another story, though.

I think it's not possible to categorize the difficulty of champions by their role in that manner. Corki is a very hard-to-play squishy AD, but I'd say that Ashe for example is one of the easiest champions. All you need to know with her is positioning and knowing how to aim her ult. It's almost impossible to miss Volley unless you accidentally cast it in the wrong direction.
In the same way, Lee Sin is a really hard "tanky AD" champion, while Garen is a really easy one. Annie is a very easy AP caster, Leblanc is a very hard one, etc.

I think they write it like that just so people won't start asking for like a hundred refunds on random things. "I'm doing you a great favor by offering this very exclusive refund, now get off my back."

Magus is going to look badass in the Champion Spotlight, and then when he actually joins your party on North Cape he only has like a tenth as much health as he used to have.

I saw like a dozen "irelia is OP" threads on the forum so I decided to give her a try. I didn't know what the hell I was doing and I still got about 9-8-20 and a victory. Had a really solid lane but it felt like I didn't do a lot in the lategame fights. I probably got carried by our GP. Also, today's brainfart: I saw that I had about 1680 IP so I clicked the link to the store thinking "I could buy a B.F. Sword with this"

At least it's an interesting, original design. Looks better than the old Lion in my opinion. The only DOTA2 model that I really don't like is the fat mexican Storm Spirit.
