I don't know/understand how half of the interactions in this game work. Very little is explained plainly in game. Or you get things with different explanations on different screens (website vs. tooltip vs. client)

ah yeah good point, i'm guessing the % armor mastery is also better pretty much as soon as the enemy top buys an armor item?

the % pen is the worst part of the offense tree

Nah it's still better than the AP/AD per level mastery.


Most people still take armor yellows especially in top lane. You get some value out of it no matter what, especially going into mid-late where most people will have bought at least one armor item.

2% vamp is also pretty mediocre but yeah you're right. I wish they combined the two %pen masteries and added another to that tier. There are very few champions who benefit from both that don't want flat pen and thunderlords anyway. Kog'Maw, maybe, and he just got dumpstered.

played first game in 5 months and man Mf still hella rad, that walk is the A game let me tell ya.

Is there a write up at all on the ADC items now? I kinda just built the ones that looked cool and did well. Normally I'd follow probuilds or something but I wouldn't mind figuring out why things are good from someone elses perspective.

Ability spamming adcs go Essence Reaver first like Lucian, MF. Usually Rapid Fire Cannon second, Infinity Edge, Blood Thirster, boots (swifties are really good right now) and Lord Dominik's.

Weirdly there are still Kog truthers insisting his new dumpstered win rate isn't accurate because he was disabled due to a bug that almost definitely did nothing to his win rate.

I am so loving baffled about why there is this huge contingent of people defending his rework.

They should just roll back all of the changes to Kog but leave the execute on his ult because I think it's hilarious

They should just keep all the changes to kog and make a publicly available file of quotes asking for the changes to be reverted.

Doesn't he end up having a better lategame because AS scaling is better on him now or something?

If I remember right they've dumpstered the AS growth on W, but if you ma W first you get 25 MagDmg @ lvl9. which is roughly a 900G buff by that level. it used to be the case that it was 15 damage at all levels where now I'd imagine it's 5/10/15/20/25. so + 10 damage on maxed W but - the AS growth %

(not sure if these figures are exact but i know the cause is something on these lines.)

No one can ever be sure how good Kog'Maw is at any point in the game. You either dumpster dive him with CC and kill him all game, or you miss one engagement on him and then wipes your whole team single-handedly with 8000 hybrid damage.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
He's probably the biggest example of feast of famine in this game right now. I've seen Kog'Maw with a good peel comp shred through the other team, and I've seen Kog'Maw just get camped and be nothing but pitiful passive damage.

ROX Tigers had some great Kog'Maw comps and then just poo poo-stomped with them.

Yeah they got rid of the +%AS but made his AS growth per level about 3.6 from 1.something. He should still be scary mid-late game so you have to shut him down early.

He gets more AS/level now. But that just means he hits the same attack speed at level 18 that he did at 9 (when the AS was on W) or 13/18 (when it was on Q if you leveled Q 2nd or last).

He used to have a 15 damage minimum on his W. That only ever really came into effect if your target had less than 750 max health, so probably levels 1-5? I think the loss of the early attack speed is hurting him a lot more than the damage buff.

So does that make AS% from items give him more or is that not how AS growth works?

Attack speed growth is bonus attack speed. It's unlike any other stat. Bases attack speed is the most important thing on an autoattacker.

He just gets more AS every level up than he used to, but he doesn't get the bonus %AS from his W anymore.

Base attack speed is what changes the value/effect of attack speed on champs. AS growth is identical to AS from items. So if you had two champs with hugely varying base attack speeds, let's say 1 atk/s and 2 atk/s, the one with a greater base attack speed benefits 'more' because their base is so much better. For example if both champs had +100% AS the 1 atk/s would go to 2, and the 2 atk/s would go to 4.

That's basically how Kog works actually, along with raising his attack speed cap.

Okay so base AS and AS growth works differently from how base AD works. Thanks.

Just because you win lane doesnt mean you're good. It just means the other person is worse.

xj9 was one of the best junglers in the world and if he was not xj9 he would be the most beloved streamer of all time. unfortunately he was also a mentally ill brony who made like 6000 accounts on the forums to pimp out his stream which was already popular(5k-10k viewers) anyway because he was probably the best vi player in addition to all of the other stuff you know
