Longhorn Alistar
PVP.net v1.29.23
Created a new UI flow for joining games of all types
Updated the Friend List UI
Runes are now stacked in the Summoner profile
A new game mode approaches: Co-op vs. AI!
This mode pits a team of all human players against a team of all AI bots on Summoner’s Rift.
This mode is supported by matchmaking, and allows summoners to join the queue solo or with friends.
Summoners may choose between two AI bot difficulty settings: Beginner or Intermediate.
IP and XP rewards are earned, and adjusted based on summoner level and difficulty setting.
The following bots are enabled for Co-op vs. AI:
Annie
Ashe
Cho’Gath
Miss Fortune
Nunu
Renekton
Ryze
Shen
Soraka
Taric
Trundle
Warwick
Coop versus AI will be available to play in the coming days after the patch goes live, but not on release day.
XP & IP Rate Changes
We have completely overhauled the IP and XP system in order to make it more fair. Our intention was to leave the overall XP and IP gained by players unchanged.
Previously, IP and XP were awarded for winning or losing a game. Now, they are granted based on how long the game was, and whether you won or lost.
In a long game, you will make significantly more XP and IP than before. However, in a very short game, you will make less IP and XP. We found it frustrating to be stuck in an hour long games, and then get what was effectively 30 minutes of IP reward.
When calculating the number of minutes the game took, we only award for actual game time. However, we give all games a small fixed bonus reward, which is to give you credit for time in queue and champion selection.
Other details:
We have also tweaked the formulas so that new players get larger quantities of IP in their first 10 or so levels so that they can unlock their first Champions more quickly.
First Win of the Day remains unchanged – it is still a flat bonus you will receive when you are eligible.
We removed the no-leave-streak bonus and increased the IP rewards in general to compensate. The reason we did this is because we felt that with the new LeaverBuster system, this was no longer necessary.
League of Legends v1.0.0.111
Maokai, the Twisted Treant
Sap Magic (passive): Each time a champion near Maokai casts a spell, he gains a charge of Magical Sap. When he has 5 charges, Maokai’s next melee attack drains energy from his target, healing him for a percentage of his maximum HP.
Arcane Smash: Maokai slams the ground, the force of which knocks nearby enemies back and sends an arcane shockwave forward, damaging and slowing his enemies.
Twisted Advance: Maokai dissolves into a cloud of arcane energies. He regrows near a target enemy, dealing damage and rooting it in place.
Sapling Toss: Maokai hurls a sapling, dealing damage on impact. The sapling becomes implanted in the ground, warding a nearby area. When enemies approach, the sapling attacks, exploding in an arcane blast that damages enemies.
Vengeful Maelstrom (ultimate): Maokai shields his allies by drawing power from hostile spells and attacks, reducing non-tower damage done to allied champions in the area. Maokai can prolong the effect as long as he has mana to spend on it. When the effect ends, Maokai unleashes the absorbed energy to deal damage to enemies within the vortex.

TY WAYFARER for the EU side!
Shaco OP in Solo Queue ;p haha, I am sure if you compiled the top 3 champions on all these players these stats would be a lot different I think. Then maybe even compile the win/loss ratio together and everyone can see what the top % is for these champions. Would be interesting to see.

What is Elo Hell?
People have many definitions for Elo Hell as being sub 1400, 1200, or even 800. What is Elo Hell?
What do you experience in Elo Hell? Leavers, players of less skill?
People have a misconception about Elo Hell being at a set elo. Most arguments seem to be, “I would be able to hold my own ground at (insert elo here).
To tell everyone the truth, Elo Hell is experienced in any elo; low,mid, or even high elo.
From my understanding, Elo Hell is a term fabricated to explain the frustration- when you go 20-0 and lose because of some moron or a leaver. There is no escape to elo hell, you’ll always have those games where its impossible due to your teammates lack of skill. Does this only happen at 1400 elo and below? No.
There have been games where i’ve gone 15-0 and lost, due to feeding 2000 elo players that go 0-10.
Some players that are 2000-2100 elo are much worse than 1800 elo players. How did they get to 2100? Luck.
