how is everyone? Been 3 years since i last logged on, just wanna see how everyone is

Can't ever forget about HG. Met some great people here.

Hey Gamers, Zekk Walker here, bringing you a bit of a quick overview of  the recent system and champ changes. This patch seems to be a ton of balance trying to make up for unintended consequences from the item changes in the last few patches. Overall,  In my opinion, Tanks and bruisers are super strong right now.  Especially in ARAM or Arena. If you have two or more beefy champs building Health, Armor, and MR it really puts pressure on the enemy team that lacks them and it's hard for the ADC's and Casters to bust through all that strong frontline defense before the enemy dps takes them down. Also, If you have not played a custom ai game lately... the ai improvements are still a bit janky , but I think they are the start of something impressive.  For Example, the team will leash for a ai controlled jungler now and will also stay in a pre assigned lane position during early lane phase instead of blindly reacting to where you are moving back and forth around the map. They will aslo set up and respond to specific game events like enmey and ally positions and even possibly, (but unconfirmed) jungle camp pings and under the right circumstances  they will team up for dragons and other jungle objectives like baron. Sometimes even without your intervention! It's a bit wild when they are working properly and ai custom games feel more immersive, but they also sometimes get stuck on corners or waiting for you to come help on an objective they cant take alone, or stick around too long after a "gank".  The AI has a way to go, but this improvement is a step in the right direction and makes custom ai games feel more dangerous. I hope you  have fun in the rift! -Zekk- Rain Shepherd Milio and Rain Shepherd Fizz will be available June 26, 2024 at 19:00 UTC. RIOT SUMMER BREAK CHAMPIONS Brand Passive mana regeneration reduced.

BUGFIXES Don't Chase is now offered to all champions instead of exclusively melee champions with AP and AD ratios. Akshan W now properly grants his ally 200 gold instead of 0. Fey Magic now works on Blitzcrank's R passive. Fixed a bug where letting Augments timeout meant your next Anvil of any kind did nothing. Sylas can no longer cast his R on Sett cameo and get a broken ultimate. Viego will not lose Spatula if he completes Urf's Champion while possessing. Attack Speed from Stat Anvils now contributes to Kai'Sa E evolution (already worked for Q/W). Phenomenal Evil correctly grants additional stacks when hitting multiple champions. Moonstone Renewer now has a per ID cooldown of 2 seconds (it was going crazy with heal-over-time effects like Milio W and Restless Restoration). Feel the Burn now actually applies Grievous Wounds. Fixed trackers on Terminus and Anathema's Chains. Fixed an issue with Center of the Universe range shrinking when revived. Neeko now starts the round transformed as her ally. Mirage Blade now works with Illaoi W. Fixed an issue with Prismatic Item Anvil selection not being displayed when purchased. Clones with size changing augments now longer display buff icons. Fixed a tooltip issue with Poppy (Q) ability. Fixed a tooltip issue with Ashe's Passive. Fixed an issue where Viego would not complete Urf's Champion if the 10th takedown happened while in a possessed state. Attack Speed from Stat Anvils count towards Kai'Sa's (E) evolution. Fixed an extended tooltip issue with Blade of the Ruined King. Fixed an extended tooltip issue with Winter's Approach. Fixed a tooltip issue with Vulnerability. Anathema's Chain tracker now correctly updates when taking damage from the assigned Nemesis. Fixed a tooltip issue with Terminus' Juxtaposition - Light. Gargoyle Stoneplate item no longer tracks shielded damage in its tooltip. ARAM New Reroll-to- Bench Cooldown: Previously, if players rerolled their champion, then their previous champion could be picked by their teammates immediately. Now, your rerolled champion will have a three second “bench cooldown” for your teammates, meaning they will be unable to pick said champion and you can get them back without any stress. Goodbye bench sniping minigame! This change won't impact any of the existing swap-with-bench behavior as it focuses on rerolling, meaning if you swap with a bench champion, your teammate will still be able to pick the champion you gave up immediately. Quick Purchase Panel Update: ARAM's boots and elixir sections will now be included in the quick purchase panel to align with the recent changes in the Summoner's Rift shop. Item: Hullbreaker has been added back to the Howling Abyss. BUGFIXES Fixed a visual issue where the outer turret HexGate would remain after the turret is destroyed. BUGFIXES & QOL CHANGES We're making some changes to the Mode Select Screen this patch to potentially accommodate more than 5 game modes. Fixed an issue that sometimes caused Karma's R cooldown to not lower when the RQ combo kills the target. Fixed an issue that caused the Renekton/Nasus Nemesis Quest to grant/trigger on any unit kill. Fixed an issue that caused the Renekton/Nasus Nemesis Quest to appear when they're both on the same team. Fixed an issue that caused jungle camps to sometimes not respawn. Fixed an issue that caused the Chemtech Drake to immediately chase the champion that started combat with it while flying up instead of finishing the flying up animation first. This behavior now matches the other drakes. Fixed an issue that caused Viego to obtain an Ornn Masterwork item if he possessed an Ornn while at level 14 or above and was equipped with the same item as Ornn. Fixed an issue that prevented Heartsteel from scaling properly with Ornn Masterwork items. Fixed an issue that caused Vlad's W heal to only calculate on the base damage of the ability and not its scaling. Fixed an issue that prevented Shyvana from applying the second stack of Press the Attack from her Q. Fixed an issue that allowed enemies to cast during Lulu's R knock up if it interrupted their dash. Fixed an issue where Lulu's R knock up could be reduced by Tenacity. Fixed an issue where Skarner's E couldn't be canceled by Sett's E. Fixed a display issue that caused Absorb Life's total healing to not display properly in the EoG screen. Fixed an issue where Lee Sin's Q did not reveal a small area around the target hit. Fixed an issue that allowed Bloodsong to be obtained with the upgrade UI if you already owned a spellblade item. Fixed an issue that allowed Shyvana to redirect Miss Fortune's R by hitting a spell shielded Miss Fortune with Shyvana's R. Fixed an issue that caused champion corpses to have collisions if they have a mechanic that activates after death (Sion, Karthus, Kog'Maw).

We can revive the Crackhouse DM server. Change the map to Best Buy https://gamebanana.com/mods/115518 It will draw people back. Just try it. I  believe there is a DM edition of the map as well. Think it over!!!
