Vermain posted:It's a GypsyLord champion. Aside from Gnar (which was a collaboration), he has yet to make a champion that actually goes in the lane he intended for them. Mid-lane AP Assassin Ekko's strongest play/build path for the longest time was as a loving tanky jungler. And while I do think they expected Vi to lane more than she does you're not gonna convince me that they didn't design her as a jungler.

I swore she was advertised as a jungler but there's plenty of examples of a champion advertised as a X and got played in Y

A lot of midlaners end up as supports I noticed. notably the obvious Brand/Zyra/Vel'Koz. Lux was supposed to be "like morgana but more supporty" and her champ spotlight shows her duo botlane with garen too, though that was before the traditional ranged ADC+Support meta in botlane right?

I wish mana stats on items were changed to energy if you buy them on an energy champ. Ibg would be really good on Shen I bet

misguided rage posted:Eh. He was primarily mid on release, it took a lot of tweaks and item changes for him to end up as a tanky jungler. I dunno, I bought him when he came out and after like one or two games taking him mid, I went only jungle with him and did significantly better. It was especially hilarious when his W gave you vision AS SOON as you casted it, so you could basically use it as a blue trinket.

Sexpansion posted:This game was a lesson in how not to build end-game Lux and I apologize: Athene's is much better lategame than Morello against non-healing teams purely from the chalice passive helping to keep your mana up through your costly spells Liandry's is not very good with Lux. FQC is very good as a rush but lategame if you have the cash you should be selling it and getting CDR from another source if you still need it. Personally I've been running 10% scaling CDR blues, going with 35% CDR lategame after I sell FQC, 45% if I've got a blue buff. That leaves an two slots for Zhonya's/Luden's/Mejai's and possibly a defensive item to go with Hat, Void, Athene's, Sorcs core.

Stormraider's Surge is a pretty good keystone for anybody with burst damage in the mid to late game, with the caveat that you have to be willing to pretty much give up your mastery entirely in the early game. I run it on Nasus if I think I've got an easy-ish farm lane.

I got bored soon after but I imagine after those you would get DMP and whatever. Guessing you'd take grasp for keystone. I wish his sword actually did at least a small portion of damage when it passes through people, I keep finding myself positioning it so that I hit multiple champs. Looks cool but achieves nothing. Also it should make a totally cool sound when it hits people el dingo fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Feb 1, 2016 |

Luna Was Here posted:hey can someone smarter than me run the numbers on efficiency of ad runes vs as runes on jhin Straight AD is significantly superior for Jhin at level 1 and probably stays ahead for all builds you will actually do on him. The level 1 advantage alone is big enough I wouldn't consider anything else.

To quote a Master Yi player I ended up with (when I informed him I was peeling for our carry), "peeling is for friend of the family faggots. be a man. human being". I'd say he wins that debate pretty handily.

Ultimately it didn't matter and we crushed hard before 20 anyways (I fed our Ryze which is always a good idea) but it still annoys me that this new and improved system is just slow and bloated and solves zero problems.

Ibg would be really good on Shen I bet Energy's insane regen rate is balanced by not being able to increase the pool size. If you could buy more maximum energy there would be no point in playing mana champions.

Ibg would be really good on Shen I bet That's literally the tradeoff you get for playing an energy champ, getting to mindlessly spam your skills in lane and never having to worry about scaling items like Seraph's/RoA/Muramana but being somewhat gated by energy costs in lategame whereas champs with gigantic mana pools don't care at all.

I can't think of a single meaningful thing Nunu brings to a lane. You'd get a quick dragon if you could somehow push someone out of lane I guess?

Blood boil on your carry/snowball on the enemy carry is better than some champions could bring to bot lane. But you could also play him in the jungle and do the same thing
