Suggestions for stuff to swap in/out? Black Cleaver over Ghostblade might work and help beef it up some

But that's boring :colbert:

I just want to go gently caress around with Sated and Denting Blows


E: You're absolutely right though, I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to make Devourer work on her because it sounds fun to have Denting Blows proc every other swing

If you're farming all those items instead of ganking you're playing Vi wrong

Someone whisper to me on the Yung King Jarvan IV, I've figured him out but wanna really know him.

Devourer Vi is loving scary. Add on Black Cleaver, Maw, and Deadmans and she's a monster.

Vi scales hard with raw AD and armour pen, don't build devourer on her.

its better to have a big honking burst on the denting blow proc than more denting blow procs you'll inevitably miss out on when ppl escape your melee range

Has anyone tried tanky devourer Vi? Sounds kinda fun

Something like Devourer, Ghostblade, and 3 of Dead Man's Plate, ZZ'Rot, Maw, and Randuin's

You'd either get super fed with this build and still lose or fall behind and never be able to initiate and lose brutally. I've seen people do this kind of poo poo on Xin Zhao and when I tab the scoreboard and see something like this I just tell people to focus that jungler when they inevitably engage and they get killed in <1 second.

Xin with Sated and Rageblade should be really hard to kill unless you hard cc him for more than a second. as soon as he gets spirit visage and some kind of armor item he becomes an unstoppable beast.

he farms so quickly and ganks so powefully after clearing with 100% hp its not even like you have to forego ganking at all, just do both and also take dragon when you inevitably smash the mid/botlane's faces in or ruin the enemy jungler's life.

So what's everyone's experience with crafting so far? I don't play that much SR, and I got all of my chests and three key fragments so far. I don't think I'll have any problem getting or opening chests overall.

the only nice thing is that they start you out with 800 free essence so you can wait a while and craft something cool for free

I think I am picking this point as when i quit playing league. I already feel that there are already too many grindy and irrelevant features, and this will just be another layer of that on top.

Combine that with the games that are 30-2 stomps by 20 mins this season, and the current meta/balance, and I'm just not having a ton of fun with the game atm. Maybe I'll check back in a few patches.

Later goons, I did enjoy the goonman games :)

National tragedy.

quote:

Summary for AJ so no one has to bad mouth me:
Got fed up with the game being a constant mess of bugs and retarded balance decisions, and the fact that we really don't seem to want to try or follow the balance decisions, uninstalled the game, blocked all league traffic on my firewall, put it behind a randomly generated password on an admin account so I can't reinstall without wiping the hard drive. Not playing this piece of poo poo game any more. You are all welcome to continue playing with another jungler if you would like, although I am willing to play pretty much any other non-Ghostcrawler game at this point.

I get why people want to complain that the game is more convoluted, and crafting doesn't get you much. But its literally "here's a random unlock for playing the game, enjoy". It's the most bizarre thing to be mad about

A TF2 hat apparently once sold for over $5,000. If memory serves it was the soldier's commissar hat and it had the "is on fire" effect. No actual in game effect; somebody paid $5,000 to have their head be on fire.

The only problem I have with the system is that you can get shards for champions/skins that you already own. I'm one skin shard away from being able to re-roll; I hope that the resulting skin can't be a dupe as well, but I'm guessing it can.

Nah, it can't be a duplicate. Riot confirmed that you can get Hextech Annie automatically if you do that while having literally every other skin in the game. (Which someone tested because someone has too much loving money.)
