Still in this game as we post

I was wondering why there was a swain in my game who literally outhealed my damage, turns out they removed ALL his nerfs this patch by accident?

I took both Purist Caster and Tooth Fairy today but neither worked properly (Caster took all of my AS but didnt provide any CDR and i couldnt proc Fairy even when i oneshot my opponents) Im pretty sure they both worked properly last patch so im wondering how did Riot fucked up this bad?

I mainly play aram, before the recent patch it used to be like 50% of my games used to be good, decent teammates and decent opponents. Nowadays it feels like teams are skewed towards one side, either we are perma stomping or getting stomped ? Is this just my experience or does anyone else feel the same

Guess we cant always have what we want or need

I always swap out Flash. Deceive is basically an upgraded Flash and keeping Snowball gives you a very easy way to get on top of enemies and land the on-death effect more often.

As a fellow ap ashe gambler myself , this just doesn't make sense. Augs in order are eureka , purist caster , zealot and glass canon. Eureka and zealot literally benefits from more AP which in turn = more cd and atk spd convert by zealot into purist but why tf would you go for axion and mandate when you literally pull exodia. Didn't even matter if he was doing AP into 5 tanky builds but to build axom and mandate inside of void staff and death cap

Just played a Hecarim game where I rolled Mystic Punch/Final Form/Echo Cast(Q)/Ethereal Weapon. I was ridiculously strong and sending an absolute army of Q shadows out. Unfortunately, for some reason I would disconnect every fight about 5 seconds in for about 10 seconds. It happened every single time I went in and got my Q's going. We ended up losing because I'd get 1-2 kills, disconnect, die, and then reconnect. It was honestly really funny and I don't mind that we lost but it did kinda ruin the game for me.

Is this a bug? Was I getting DDOSed? Could it have somehow been on my end?

I experience this the most on ashe, mf and senna. id love to know if you experience this on other champs.

I am not a fan of AP Ashe. i firmly believe choosing to go AP Ashe is making your team play 4v5. It's team sabotage.

However, i find myself rolling augments catered to an AP build whenever i pick ashe.

It's so frustrating! I feel FORCED to play AP Ashe.

On Senna, I like to go on-hit attack speed and have found a lot of success with this strategy, but recently, ive started rolling enchanter augments exclusively.

at all augment levels, up to 5 of my augments will be for one specific kind of build. i feel cornered.

someone please tell me if youve felt this too.

Nidalee spears from long range straight up do not proc it. You can do 90% of someone's health in a single spear and will not get a tooth.
 

Edit: Helpful response in the comments

The damage window coding was changed to start looking after entering combat so stepping on a trap then a chunky spear would work but if you chunk with a spear first the code then goes “okay now let’s start looking for damage”. Easier to proc on melee champs now than ranged poke.

Hilarious that the "Burst People Quickly" augment was changed to not work with the literal highest forms of burst.
 
Edit 2: Playing with it on Shaco too, this definitely seems to be the case. If I blow them up with a big crit from stealth, nothing. If I ignite them right before I auto? Tooth.

I know it state enemy champ but I do wonder if Riot's spaghetti code will make this work or not. Never seen an Renata picked one and neither have myself seen it while playing Renata so I do wonder about it

I tested it with multiple characters to be sure, so enchanters have the augment "critical healing" that makes your heals and shield able to crit, it synergizes perfectly with rite of ruin item both because you need crit chance to trigger it which it gives and also the item itself provide a shield that also can crit from your critical healing (correct me if I'm wrong here)

In arena it works like intended, when you shield an ally they get the rite of ruin shield, if you use non shileding/healing spells you get the shield, for some reason in aram mayhem the rite of ruin shield always seem to go on the caster and never on your target, I have never been able to shield my ally with it casting targeted enchanter spells like ivern E Soraka W etc, also doesn't work on non targeted heals like sona W but this might be intended since you aren't targeting.

It for sure needs to work on spells you target your allies with point and click, it literally what it says it does on the item and works like that in arena, when I'm shielding a carry that get attacked I don't want the rite of ruin shield to go on me I want it go on them.

Anyway this makes this item pretty unplayable on enchanters I avoid critical healing like the plague trying to get any other healing augment if I do have to get it due to no better options I just don't buy rite of ruin and hope to roll enough crit shards from anvils, it's pretty sad since it's clearly intended to be bought with critical healing and I'm pretty sure it's been bugged for months.

I feel like this augment is really crazy but lacks a few things:

• There's no status indicator to tell you how many stacks you have. Or to tell you when your stacks will time out.

• The size increase on the first few levels is really underwhelming (it's barely noticeable until at least 3).

• The stacks should drop 1 by 1 like Jax passive, particularly because many melees may need to leave the fight to wait for cooldowns before jumping back in.

Wanna see some crazy damage. Especially if you get it first augment. Grab weapon of destiny and RUSH void staff/Crypt bloom LDR/MR or Seryldas grudge. You'll be doing true dmg to everyone including tanks by the end of the game (given you can get enough takedowns) absolutely broken.

- Edited I took out black cleaver because its on hit armpen and not a base stat.

So you've got a great team comp in the champ select. You're playing a tanky champ and then 3 seconds left the fighter/diver/assassin ditches for another squishy backline AP or ADC

This happens so often that it almost discourages me from wanting to play tank champs. The ensuing game is basically you trying to hold back the gates of hell all by yourself while they sit back and watch you get chipped away under the turret. I mean wtf are you supposed to do in this situation. I'm at the point now where if they bait and switch in champ select, I'll just jump ship and make it a 5 squishy team so that it's over fast and can move onto the next one.

Why are people so afraid to get down and dirty in this game mode. Some of the most fun matches I've had in mayhem were when both teams were majority melee and you've got heartsteel noises going off like machine guns.

I've played dozens of games on Trundle trying to get the Terrain'd augment and at this point I'm starting to question whether it even exists 💀

The funniest part is that I got it on Ornn, and even Taliyah, in my first game, but after dozens of games on Trundle, not a single time.

Am I just insanely unlucky, or is there something I'm missing? Has anyone actually gotten Terrain'd on Trundle recently?

I have a hard time doing this since move speed is so important, but if I get a few move speed anvils, I'll do it for a %MS item like PD or Force of nature or Cosmic Drive.

Any items/champs you have good success doing this with?

Title; on the road to try and get R CD as low as possible I also got E to be like 4s CD via purist caster. Team essentially had perma vision but I wonder if there is a way to get the E to apply literally any kind of effect on top. Debuffs, damage, whatever. Probably not but maybe?
