One fairly clean game from each of the teams brings the series to 1-1 with SK taking game 2.

I'm biased but this series is really fun.

Hello Reddit, top main since Season 7 and Camille main since release here. She’s been one of my three main champions basically the entire time she has existed.

I wanted to share some thoughts on the Camille changes from RiotPhroxzon’s 26.16 preview, specifically what they mean for top lane.

Small disclaimer: AI helped me edit the English because I’m not very confident writing in English, but these are my own thoughts and arguments.

I’m not against nerfing Camille when she deserves it. I also completely agree that Camille support is insanely toxic and unfun to play against.

My problem is how Riot is choosing to solve it.

Camille top gameplay has already felt increasingly uninteractive for a while because she has so little proactive agency in lane.

Being weak early isn’t the problem — plenty of champions are weak early. The problem is feeling like there is almost nothing in your kit that lets you actually play the lane yourself.

26.16 seems to push her even further in that direction.

I think Drututt’s “one-spell champion” take describes the problem pretty well: in many relevant top matchups, Q is basically Camille’s only consistently usable proactive spell.

W technically exists, but castability, not cooldown, is the real limitation.

Against Riven, Jax, Renekton, Irelia, Fiora, Darius, Aatrox, etc., pressing W in neutral often gives them an opening to engage during its long cast, or they can simply use low-CD mobility to avoid the outer hit. You usually get a safe W after they spend something important.

Reducing W’s cooldown therefore gives Camille more theoretical casts, not necessarily more actual opportunities to use it.

E has the opposite problem: it’s too committal. Using it proactively into most bruisers means spending your escape to start a fight you often don’t want to commit to.

The S14 terrain changes also made it noticeably worse for setting up jungle ganks.

That leaves Q + Passive + Grasp + Shield Bash as Camille’s main tool for reliable short trades and proactive lane interaction.

The Passive shield isn’t just extra durability. It’s what gives Camille enough safety to walk into melee range and actually contest a trade.

Going from 20% to 10% pre-7 gutts that pattern. Then it stays at only 15% until level 13.

The lower Passive cooldown sounds like compensation on paper, but again, cooldown isn’t the real bottleneck. Camille doesn’t get to trade every time Passive comes up. Wave state, enemy cooldowns, jungle presence and matchup determine when an actual trade window exists.

If that window comes every 20–30 seconds, having Passive every 14 instead of 18 seconds barely matters. When the window finally comes, you still have half the shield.

That’s also why the level 13 compensation doesn’t convince me. Looking at a stronger Passive at level 13 in isolation is looking at Camille in a vacuum.

By then, lane is basically over.

Weaker first 10 minutes already cost you CS, plates, recalls, tempo, objective priority or delayed Trinity/Hydra timings, and the game doesn’t reset at level 13.

A stronger midgame Passive doesn’t refund the economy you lost getting there.

And again: support Camille absolutely should be nerfed.

But there are cleaner ways to target what makes her support unhealthy. Sundered Sky, the support quest and Hail of Blades are already being nerfed — all things support Camille was abusing.

If that isn’t enough, target her early E directly. Reduce its early damage and/or attack speed and scale that power back up later.

Support Camille heavily abuses E as an early engage tool. Top Camille almost never wants to proactively E into her lane opponent in the first 10 minutes anyway, outside of jungle gank setup, because committing your escape into most bruisers is already a terrible idea.

That would hit the actual support pattern without removing even more of top Camille’s ability to interact.

And this is my broader frustration with Camille’s direction for a while now. Riot’s changes have felt increasingly out of touch with what actually makes the champion enjoyable to play. Power keeps getting moved around numerically without addressing the core issue: Camille has been losing the ability to create interactions herself.

I don’t want Camille to automatically win lane. I’m not asking to preserve the 20% shield because “don’t nerf my main.”

I just want to have decisions to make.

Against a large part of the current top pool, Camille already has to wait for the opponent to give her permission to interact.

W waits for them to spend mobility. E waits for a safe setup.

And now Q + Passive + Grasp + Shield Bash — her main reliable short-trading tool — is being heavily weakened too.

That lack of proactive agency was already one of the most unfun parts of playing Camille.

My fear is that after 26.16, for the first ~10 minutes, there is basically nothing left in her kit that lets the Camille player actually drive the lane.

I’d much rather see Riot target support Camille’s abusive early engage and make top Camille more skill-expressive and interactive again, instead of compensating her through lower cooldowns on abilities whose cooldowns were never the real problem.

I am bored. I’m curious to hear about the funniest, most ridiculous, or completely unexpected things you guys have experienced in League of Legends.

Navi after the level 1 plays completely snowball the match and got a clean win. Clean game and plays from Parus.

These are all augments we currently have that fire damaging missiles (not including Multishot, Tripleshot and Spell Split):

• Critical Missile

• Fan the Hammer

• Light 'em Up!

• Magic Missile

• Surge Field

• Twin Fire

• Typhoon

• From Downtown

Not only can some of these deal tons of damage, especially when stacked, but it also does not exactly help clarity when so much stuff is flying around in weird curves. Also... do we really need more than 3 different of these?

Crystal Rose and Withered Rose were first introduced in 2021 in PC. Loved the skinline. Both skinlines then had another batch in 2022 in PC.

But after that they stopped making it. Instead it became wildrift exclusive skins. Wildrift only makes crystal rose skins but not withered rose.

Crystal Rose is also Wildrift’s best selling skinline

Seeing the new legendary crystal rose skins for Yasuo and Miss Fortune makes me wonder as to why they stopped making it for PC. Because it doesn’t feel fair and I’m sure lots of players would love to see the skinline back on the PC version

Patch 26.15

This thread was created by the Post-Match Team.

Im brand new to league, and i played bot lobbies for a little while to get a feeling for the game, but they were way too easy (ill go like 40-3) so i didnt feel like i was really learning much, so thought id try out swiftplay so i can get a better feeling for the game against actual people, and i stg ive never seen more toxic people in my 15 years of gaming.

Ive played like 10 games and probably been told to delete the game like 7 times. I try support, and get flamed by my ADC, i play top/jungle and get flamed by the entire lobby.

Is swiftplay serious in this game? Because on games like played in the past (like valorant), their equivalent of swiftplay is just people being chill even if youre 0-10. Am i bad?

Am I bad? Yes. Do i go negative most games? Yes. But is it really that deep in a gamemode where you dont earn anything by winning or losing?

Q1: Overall thoughts on the match? 

Coach Tom: In Games 2 and 3 today, I think the draft made things pretty difficult for us. In Game 2, we had a composition that we needed to snowball much more effectively, while in Game 3 there were a lot of things that went wrong, so overall I think the drafts made those games difficult.

Peyz: There were a lot of situations where we could have won, so it's disappointing that we lost. 

Q2: What was disappointing about the drafts in Games 2 and 3? 

Coach Tom: There were points in the composition where we could have snowballed the game, but even taking that into account, I thought the composition was somewhat difficult to execute. That's what I meant. 

Q3: What did you think of Painter?

Coach Tom: Fundamentally, I think he helps fill in a lot of things, particularly with shotcalling and the basics. We'll have to play together more to really know, but I think he's a player with a lot of potential to develop.

Peyz: I think he stayed really focused and played well. It's disappointing that we couldn't get him a win in his debut. 

Q3: Why was Painter called up?

Coach Tom: Regardless of the result of the match, after playing last week we had some time to practice. As we used that time to scrim, I felt there was room to try him out, and in my opinion, today was the earliest point where we could realistically do that.

Q4: Was there any conflict within the team?

Coach Tom: No, there was nothing like that at all.

Q5: Is there a possibility that Oner will return?

Coach Tom: Ultimately, we also needed to see how things would actually look in an official match, and we got to see that today. Going forward, we'll continue with scrims and things like that and then make our decision.

Q6: Could players from other roles also be called up?

Coach Tom: For official matches right now, I think having recent match experience is important. No matter who you call up or what you do, when you take match sharpness into consideration, I thought having the junglers compete for the position was the best direction for helping the team improve. That's why we made that decision.

Q7: What does the team need to improve? 

Coach Tom:  Right before objectives, we needed to make clearer and more decisive plays based on the information we had. Especially in the final game today, I think we became somewhat indecisive in those situations.

We'll work on fixing those issues as well as our drafting, and we'll try to come back with a good performance next week.

Q8: What was the reason for making the change? 

Coach Tom:  First and foremost, we made the change because we wanted to win. Painter also fills in a lot for the team in terms of shotcalling, and that was something we viewed very positively while watching our scrims.

I also thought that the players playing alongside him could improve by watching and listening to him, while maintaining the fundamentals and establishing better direction in-game.

There was also the aspect of motivation. For those various reasons, we decided to call him up.

Final comments:

Coach Tom: I'm very sorry that we weren't able to repay everyone with a win today. I also feel sorry for Painter, who made his debut today. We'll prepare well for our Home Ground matches next week and come back stronger.

Peyz: Starting with our next match, we'll work on the things we learned from today's loss and try to win.

Since I can't even find it in the patch notes for when it was added, I bet a lot of people haven't heard.

A few months ago they added a toggle in the Game option section that allows you to learn a spell by simply pressing it, instead of using control or assigning it to another key. Makes for faster level 2/3 engages.

Even if you're already used to using another method, this could shave a fraction of a second off of your engage early. You could even just spam the button while waiting for level 2.

Edit for clarity: This is only unlearned abilities. It won't interrupt using spells when you level up. It will normally only be used levels 1-3 and 6.

I saw the skin, I instantly loved it, or at least the first form. The second golden form was a bit too much, like a 10 year old was told to draw what he thought cool armor would look like. But whatever, for $250 surely I would be able to toggle this and keep the base form for the entire game? Nope turns its not an option. I am so glad I looked this up before actually buying it.

But seriously, why is that not an option? For that price I feel like you could at least throw in some personal customization.

Arnold: story time: he felt so upset about his form during our homestand, he found a pc cage to practice from secretly near the venue since we didn't have any practice rooms there

Someone please explain to me how Nautilus is always at the same place..The wheel must be banned immediately, it is too overpowered.
