don't pick rengar, folks, especially if it's against quinn top (who then first builds that new AD assassin item)

Gold is literally the only tier that matters other than the dumb border, as it gets a skin reward every season.

So what you're saying is if I'm still godawful near the end of the year I should buy boosting to gold? What skins have been given away? What is this seasons?

They don't announce them till later, but so far it's been Jarvan/Janna/Elise/Morg/Sivir.

In low gold at the beginning of each new season you'll see a bunch of victorious champs losing games as people try out their skins.

e: I think there's a Fiora/Kanye/Faker reference in Blood on the Leaves somewhere, but idk what it is.

Won't be able to play the new patch until tomorrow but I'm guessing the bans should be xin, talon and zed at the moment? Looks like graves got dumpstered pretty hard, I've barely seen the frog since last patch and rango is poo poo again.

Depends on what elo you're in, but in a vacuum sure those aren't bad bans.

I agree, I think Talon is going to be incredibly good on this patch.

e: pro-tip: talon is better than Zed in the hands of almost every sub-diamond player and maybe even better at the highest elos. I'm not sure why he's not picked more often as it is, but duskblade will put him over the edge.

I mean unless the cooldown is totally broken, no, it won't. But we're talking about Riot so... probably?

Since everyone is going to play assassins this patch and sunfire cape got buffed... play top lane Nautilus. It's hilarious.

Time to play a normal as Shaco as soon as I get home from work in a couple hours.

I love how often this game patches because of the constant balance swings and (unintended) bullshit that goes with it. Keeps it fresh for me to always have things to abuse.

Alright goons, what would you suggest for a build and skill order for Xin if I was to try and play him in lane? Triforce, Duskblade, rageblade, and maw all seem really good but I feel like there needs to be an AS and maybe tanky item in there somewhere early.

I don't think you need duskblade. I would say triforce + rageblade + tank is what you want, but maybe I'm discounting the strength of the new item.
