Can the enemy team still see which champ you hovered in p/b making hovering something you actually want super dumb if you're pick trading?

No, teams can't see the other side until they pick.

That's not what he's asking - currently, if I hover Zed at initial select, when it's my turn to pick, the enemy will see that. If I pick a completely different champion like Thresh, with no role overlap, it's pretty obvious a swap is in the works.

I guess you could twelve-dimensional chess this by hovering a fake-out champion, but I'd rather the issue didn't exist at all.

I think Riot has said they're going to fix this in a patch or two.

Okay after testing a lot of Jhin games against bots the way to go seems to be flat AD runes, first item Infinity Edge/Essence Reaver

I want to make him work middle, but there's too many people playing Fizz and Talon this patch for someone without a really good dash/disengage (Kiting is great but there's no kiting an instagib a screen away)

Why not Ghostblade? The active even gives him more AD

The IE passive isn't good enough to complete it as the very first item for typical IE ADCs, its better to buy the BF sword then finish the zeal item then finish the IE. Without investigating how his goofy passive interacts with itemization I don't know what the best path is but that passive almost definitely isn't worthwhile on him as a first complete item either.

I don't even come back to lane if my ADC is Ezreal. He gonna farm passively while I snowball jungle and mid because most Ezreal are either out of mana indefinitely or never hit skillshots so why bother :v:

e: GBM is rushing ER and I'd trust him over most other pros. Everyone else is building ER or IE except Pobelter (Who built the Ghostblade)

You guys are making GBS threads on support Nunu but check out them incredible stats on 125+ games as support Nunu on champion.gg...

I bought a shitload of MP5 runes based on someone's terrible idiot theorycrafting in the old thread to try it out. You are going to OOM but you should be able to maintain pressure against an average range ADC and a melee or short ranged (Thresh) support until first back, then pick up Kage and some more pots and it's going to be a problem to deal with that poo poo.

I think the problem is that you're still Nunu, being someone's 7th item isn't really as good as it used to be and because of all the passive gold in the game you're giving up having an actual good itemized tank like Alistar or an actual good itemized mage like Brand or VK.

Basically you need IE first item to offset his passive, and if you don't you're loving yourself over

4%*(10%*x)

He expands his brackets.



IDK if his actual math of the passive is right or not, but all he did there was expand the brackets.

Hope this helps Methanar

Winner Of The TRP I dont actually remember the contest im pretty high right now here's your venkys tag


Jhin is reminding me a lot of release Vel'Koz right now. A lot of damage in his kit but he has next to zero mobility in a lane typically filled with assassin's. I feel like he requires a very disengage focused support if he goes bot too.

Don't know what the stats look like, but the Rengar nerfs seem pretty big to me. Your early clear is way worse now. The changes to his Q incentivize getting AD but I think bruiser Rengar (a mix of AD and tank but more to the tank side) may be a better build now. Anyways, it's bad.

AD game, pretty painful:



Bruiser game, much better but my lanes also owned so maybe not representative:

Congrats on getting back to plat. I went from Plat 3 to being placed in Silver 1, got up to gold 4, then fell back to gold 5, haha.

I mean I'm playing against like all former plats though so I feel like if I'm just hovering around wherever they put me it's not a huge deal, I just have to :gitgud:
