Fairly important question about Duskblade: Does it place a debuff on people that expires and deals damage, or does it just happen without anything like that?

Basically what I'm saying is "does QSS negate this item?"

Ogres are like onions
poo poo they shaved like 50 damage off each rank of Graves' Q.

Dunno why they added a delay to it when it hits terrain too - the counterplay is stay away from walls but I guess we will see how long the delay is

Yeah, this is absolutely correct and pretty good build advice. I tried a game without FQC last night and the utility is still too high, even with the nerfs.

The dumb thing is that there are at least 3 really good reasons to buy FCQ without the active:

1) The gold generation is insane.
2) It's really cheap.

Saving 500 gold on the price of the item and generating 2k passive gold by 35-40 minutes means that you're going to be hitting your big items 5-10 minutes sooner than the other laner. You can have 4 full items including a RoA and Rabadons by 25-30 minutes in a lot of games.

3) Frostfang is an amazing lane item

Frostfang gives amazing mana regen and a little chunk of AP for 850 gold. It's like a Doran's ring except that it generates tons of gold on its own and actually builds into something useful. It's a much better component than anything in Morellonomicon or Athene's. Laning phase with Morgana basically involves shoving waves mercilessly until you run out of mana, and then TPing back in with Frostfang and doing the same (this can be really punishing in terms of level/CS if they didn't run TP), except that you never run out of mana anymore. When combined with blue buff it's basically 2 minutes of pure misery for the opposing laner.

I really don't understand why the game needs that item and why Zed got a preemptive nerf but Talon is going to jump close to 60% win rate with it, use his entire combo on someone and if they survive he just has to tap them once with a auto and they explode from a zed ult.

It might even end up as a lategame ADC item when they have the damage to auto someone down in those 2 seconds, so long as the frontline doesn't have 400 armor.

PSA: It's Fiora time. Her three strongest in-meta lane matchups have been nerfed last patch or this patch (Tahm Kench, Poppy, Graves).

Talon's standard combo already includes an auto, so it's just a bunch of bonus damage on him for no extra effort

I think the only way people will stop buying frostfang is if they add a item combining forbidden idol+amp tome for 30 AP/10% CDR/100% Mana regen in the 1200 price range, 850 for 100% mana regen just blows everything else away.

Oh right they're also 4Es, that's probably why it's expensive and hard to find them. Even fairly basic sneakers run me ~70 bucks minimum, though I don't really know how you'd convert that to Runeterra gold short of gold being obscenely common as a material over there.

Both of us ended the game 3rd on our team in gold.

I had a game yesterday where our jungle yi rushed 2nd tier boots PLUS ENCHANTMENT before he finished devourer. Guess how many dead opponents he contributed to!

It's a trick question because he went cinderhulk instead of devourer so it ended up being the case that his boots were his most useful item anyways.

I mean what I read was him taking some comment completely out of context and banning some guy, then getting all high and mighty and tried having him write a 500 word essay about something completely off topic from what he was even banned for. I didn't know that the guy he banned came here which is pretty lol
