Not Dominion is pretty fun, I will spam the heck out of this on live. Short, high kill fighty games. Faster than Ascension, too.

Sidenote: Taliyah is fun as hell and we are definitely gonna see her in Professional play.

most of the mages that got touched didn't get noticeably better in winrate because while they might be technically better people still need to put in the time on them to do well since they didn't just get massive number buffs. pretty funny that both annie and viktor are actually performing much better since people seemed pretty sour on those remakes.

while statistically brand is still getting the same results i would be a lot more scared of a good brand than i was before

I think Brand's passive is too strong. The AoE radius needs to go down. The worst thing that can happen to him right now is that other parts of him get nerfed then the passive gets nerfed because usually that's how champions end up in the dumpster.

Why do people even buy the spellthief line as a mid? I know it's got decent stats but you're wasting the passive if you're a champion that kills creeps.

Decent stats, upgrades into a very useful item with even better stats.

Because fiendish -> fqc isn't that bad of a buy path and easily pays for itself with the passive once fully upgraded. Usually I'll go back with enough for the codex at least.

I just think with the nerfs maybe Athene's or morello might be better for lux again, but I sure felt useless against a kassadin when I tried morello earlier.

For a very long time it was the best mana regen item on top of being cheap AND having passive gold generation.

Oh wow, I never noticed that the creep kill passive disable disappears on the completed item. Glad I asked!

edit: as long as I'm asking about support items, what are people's thoughts on Face of the Mountain? I feel like I usually lean toward the sightstone upgrade instead of building Face. Is that dumb of me? The active isn't quite as mindless as a Locket, because you need the presence of mind to click on your adc at the right time. Maybe it's just because i'm a scrub, but I prefer actives that I can hammer on in a panic without targeting them - locket, zhonya's, etc.

If the eye IS a decent option, when should I upgrade? I know Ruby Sightstone should usually be saved for dead last, because it's not very gold-efficient of an upgrade. Should I be saving my Eye upgrade til I need the inventory space, or is it more efficient midgame than Ruby SS is?

the Spooky Spooks of Spellthief are also really useful against immobile mids if they try to roam to contest Herald or Dragon or help a lane. It's pretty much a guaranteed kill in some matchups.

disagree. OfA on the normal map gives way more wiggle room to silly gimmick builds.

Speaking of that mode, just had a oneside match on both sides: one where our captain didn't ban malz and team picked darius (surprise, they picked malz and destroyed us), then another where we picked lux and the enemy got lotto'd New Vlad because the player who picked vlad didnt know he got changed (it was the saddest match for them, AD lux got a quadra kill at one point, 4-19 end score)

I remember, before I stopped playing Kass got his ult "reworked", with the logic being "now we can actually buff his kit and make him good!"

Nearly a year later.....

pick him and oh. literally all the same. even the useless Q shield.

my only problem with SR OFA so far is that every loving player wants to pick Lee or Zed.

it's also impossible to get Sol picked; like scientifically impossible. Scrubs see the three seashells and go "15 passive damage dealing orbs? noooooooot for me"

I nominated A. Sol just now and got that sweet 20% roll. It was the most fun I've had in this game in a while, just 5 dragons shouting forever as their balls smack the enemy to death. Also 5 A. Sols are really good for taking dragon/baron.

Aurelion has this weird issue where despite his great flavor is more or less is a gigantic sassy sunfire cape that dies horribly if you get into his deadzone like hunters from WoW

and mikujin before you jump in to pedantically correct me again yes i know deadzones haven't existed for hunters since vanilla
