For anyone interested, Enigma's Item Changer is an easy to use program for changing recommended items.

'kay, I'll bite.

I love itemization. Items are the best. It's seriously my favorite of the genre's core gameplay tenets. So it should go without saying that the shop interface is pretty important to me.

• Who else worked on this project? You recently mentioned a collaboration with Xypherous, was that during this development or that of another project?
• Totally expected the DFG rework, so I'm pretty pleased. I'll do my very best to resist the urge to re-up that image and spread it for sweet, sweet reddit link karma. nvm ;-;
• How extensive is the search system? Does it work in the same way as the (currently broken, but that's another issuenvm, fixed last patch) custom game search function in that you can search strings and it'll show all relevant items that contain that string in their names/descriptions? Does it have a tag system? Can I search "slow" or "CC" and find Phage and Rylai's?

edit:
tch. should probably have checked the 38 redposts before asking those, but w/e. maybe this is an excuse for you to go more in-depth.

Any way some other stuff could sneak out? :D

So... since it appears to have been missed.

Jax vs Panth. Who will win?

It's a pretty rare matchup, hard to comment without experience. Certainly seems like Panth would have poke advantage early and mid-game mobility, while Jax scales hard into late and will certainly shut down Panth 1v1 with some items.

Xypherous, FeralPony, Boourns, LowPolyCount, Ponts, bigbadabruin, Brackhar, Samamayhem (I think that's hit red name...), Fruitstrike, and ... I don't know the red name of the other person.

Xypherous and FeralPony being items themselves, the rest being Team Game UI.

Team Game UI is split mostly from there further. For the itemshop itself it was about ~90 me on dev, ~9 on LowPolyCount for dev (he was mostly focused on the new HUD and doing other small features / being a features shield), and ~1 boourns on dev.
Design is pretty openly split. Riot encourages tons of feedback and everyone has a voice, so it's difficult to really give a originator of ideas.

Edit:
And Joy2TheWorld for graphics.

Who is usually picked to shut down Jax? =V

Without extensive experience in top lane, I'd hazard that Jayce, Malphite, and Yorick can poke him down and mitigate his combos.

Jayce is a straight-up counter. Malphite is pretty strong vs. him (though Wickd beats Malphite with Jax; but he also beats Jax with Malphite so meh). Irelia is fairly good vs. Jax. Shen does okay. Rumble is pretty good. Yorick too. Jax is pretty hard to shut down (outside lane swaps which he can't deal with at all) but plenty of laners do fine vs. him.

[dgnslyr]

What about Bruce Lee Sin? He's got his super-sustain with W and an attack speed slow with E, both of which are bad news for Jax. Why exactly isn't Lee Sin played top more often, besides the opportunity cost of not having him in the jungle? Is it because he doesn't scale as hard as Jax, Irelia, and Shen into lategame?

Scaling and he's just kinda hard to play (you can't afford to miss too many Qs in trades and you have to use your mobility to its fullest). Lee's fine vs. Jax of course as is Nidalee. Oh, and Darius is fine vs. him.

I'm pretty sure Akali does well too tho I haven't tested the match-up; her innate sustain and burst seems like quite a good match for Jax now that QE procs Q thus negating any dodge silliness.

This is the best possible video.

[Forrestfire]

Isn't Jax one of the supposed "counters" to Yorick though? I know that I dread facing him when I play yorick.

That may be because I'm bad, though.

I dunno. You prolly want a laneswap if possible at that point anyways tho 'cause Yorick is a great 1v2 while Jax is a horrible 1v2.

Does that turret have an item?

Turrets need their spellshield, man.

I wouldn't hate the idea of upgrading your turrets. Money lost when they get roasted, maybe, but still pretty neat.

[Forrestfire]

Turret loadout: Tiamat, Tiamat, the new Hurricane item, Guardian Angel, Bloodthirster, Bloodthirster.

[Qwertystop]

Yeah, but then you get a GA and an FH.

Tiamats are now melee-only and don't stack anyway. I say debuff-auras. And a Sunfire to kill the melee minons even when they're not the target.

Bloodthirster, Hurricane, Phantom Dancer x2, Infinity, GA.

Works for me XD

Wait wait wait...

Get a FoN. Or whatever gets its percentage-health-regen if they remove it and redistribute its abilities like they said they might.

Turrets are ranged and thus cannot purchase Tiamat. Your entire build falls apart. :-(

[Forrestfire]

Set up one nexus turret the way I mentioned, and the other with Sunfire, Frozen Heart, a %health regen item, Zeke's Herald, Hurricane, and Bloodthirster.

And stick a heimerdinger there too.

EDIT: Taunts OP, too. Rammus becomes the new flavor of the month because he can melt towers with his ult. AD carries fall out of favor in exchange for Taunt Comps with heavy split push power.

Do it, Riot!

Is the server down for anybody else? I mean, when I open up the patcher-loader-thingy, it says it's online, but then I try to log in and it either says the server's "busy" or gives an unspecified error with a link to support.leagueoflegends.com.

Both the PVP.net and website servers blew up temporarily, but appear to be up again

[MCerberus]

BRB. Buying Malady, Frozen Mallet, Hurricane, PD, IE, Bloodthirster for my turret.

[NineThePuma]

Reina, are we likely to see the new UI in this PBE patch?
