I don't really get why people are up in arms about an item that takes a while to stack up and eats one of your summoner slots being really good on specific heroes, many of whom are pretty subpar at the moment.

Like not even trying to be a :smug: heh mad :smug: ironic jerk, I legitimately don't see what's super broken about the new devourer. It'll provide a good midgame power spike for attack speed oriented heroes. Only one I'm particularly worried about is Vayne, silver bolts proccing every other attack is a big deal.

I tried 0/21/9 on melee tank support today and I was so gold starved I was miserable. The extra tank perks did not offset how lovely the gain was. I would consider this experiment a failure immediately and strongly recommend 21 utility for all support.

I enjoy Wukong a lot more than Irelia even if Irelia is more likely to be meta. I'd suggest Wukong. His L6 all-in with Brutaliser is well, brutal.

Do you like to be a tanky piece of poo poo with a special passive that people forget about and stacks multiplicatively with tenacity? Play Irelia. Do you like to do a lot of damage and make people mad about invis and clones? Play Wukong.

They both seem to always be good, with Irelia having more of a defensive focus and Wukong being more offensively focused.

I never really played Wukong but I can tell you that Irelias passive is stupid, her Q makes last hitting pretty easy, and her stun lets you trade really well or just be a really annoying piece of poo poo.

Wukong is Goku though so there's that for him.

Did anyone get a chance to play Darius before he got disabled? Apparently his E was stunning people or something? I'm sad I didn't break out my Jungle Darius.

When you pulled people they got like stuck near you for a short period. It was hard to tell if it was a root or a stun, I think sometimes I got AA'd but not always. It basically made it impossible to avoid getting hit with his full combo if he landed E, even if you tried to flash.

Right when the patch landed I got absolutely destroyed by a Darius in lane and had no clue why. Well it's good to know that at least it makes sense now. I wondered how he was doing so much damage whenever he was able to pull me in.

Edit: Just browsing champion.gg, Kassadin's win rate is hilarious. They need to completely re-work that champ to not be so feast or famine.

imo Wukong is a lot easier to play if you can identify good initiation opportunities. He is one of those champions who has an inflated winrate because his kit is straightforward and benefits from using all of your abilities on cooldown on any target and includes passive benefits for grouping up (ulti and free tank stats). It's hard to gently caress up his kit.

Irelia is better at outplaying people 1v1 and assassinating backline targets in teamfights, but takes a fair bit of practice in understanding how her kit works with a conditional stun and estimating damage and lifesteal.

If you like playing teamfight oriented games, play wukong. If you like feast or famine games where you can get fed and strap your team on your back by being able to murder the enemy team's carries while their tanks helplessly waddle after you, go with Irelia.

Holy gently caress I am sick of duo queue bot lanes. This particular one fed the enemy bot laner/jungle a collective 12 kills by 15 minutes, which puts us so far behind there is basically nothing we can do to recover.

The other three members of the team, including myself, all want to surrender the 10/31 game where we are down two dragons and six turrets, but our bot duo votes no and we end up dragging the game out another 15 pointless minutes of being unable to leave the base.

I really want to enjoy this game, but solo queue makes it really hard some times :(

I always encountered more drophacking/botting in gold than I did in any other league. I think it's just the sweet spot between caring about winning and being bad at the game.
