Wont be surprised if that wall's duration sees a nerf; unless the enemy carries have flash available [or a Thresh hanging far back] it forces an unavoidable fight. In professional play I imagine the fog-visibility will let teams get back fast enough, but it's going to wreck solo queue.

Not sure if it's a buff or nerf to the item overall, but I can somewhat see why they'd get rid of the crit.

Most people who get it right now use it as their only damage item (hecarim, irelia, sometimes jax), or in conjunction with another off-tank item like maw or dead man's plate.

So ultimately you have a bunch of people grabbing triforce and rolling with 20% crit all game which can turn some lane trades into dice rolls.

I mean, its pretty silly to the overall concept of the item; the entire gimmick is giving you a little bit of pretty much every stat, and two nice procs. If they really aren't comfortable with it being good at that niche they might as well make an upgraded Sheen item and remove it (thus banishing the Metagolem in its entirety)

I can't tell if losing movespeed/crit is a for the aspd/cdr is going to be better or worse for Ez. I feel like better but i don't play enough of the guy even though I really should

I'm also assuming there's any underlying logic behind the change. Other than "we don't have stinger build into enough things."

I just realized something I really do not like about Riot and it's that things that seem like pretty major bugs that would get patched immediately, do not get patched until days later when the next patch is out (and sometimes they acknowledge the existence of the bug, and then say "we're working on it")

It seems like they just don't have a great infrastructure for hotfixes. When they hotfix stuff like malzahar's mana costs they have to spend like a week with inaccurate tooltips because they literally can't change anything client side.

The CDR and cost reduction are way better for Ezreal than the crit, though the utility and 900 gold differential will probably still make blue build the right choice like 90% of the time

When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
Aurelion Sol is a really weird champion. I don't think he will ever be popular. Even when you get fed on him you still don't feel strong you just sort of feel like you are walking over people and they are dying incidentally from your orbs. The dominating fun-time feedback you expect from exciting mage champions really isn't there. He's basically as good as his stats are and as good as his matchup allows him to walk into the enemy team and orb them.

I kind of wish he had more of a presence as a jungler or support or something, but as a mid laner if he's undertuned he will be absent from the game even moreso than he is now.

sol's orbs really need to change to work like wisp's orbs from dota (the orb explodes when it hits something) if they don't want him to feel janky as gently caress

I feel like the problem exists on the other side, too. If you're getting beaten by Aurelion Sol, it does not feel like you're being outplayed. It's bad feels all the way down.

Yeah I've stated this before and it still holds true. Winning at asol feels mediocre at best, and losing on him feels even worse than normal. I worry that as a result of this people will think that people just don't like simple champions, but really it's not sol being simple that holds him back. He's just boring.

Neurolimal

I think the biggest problem is just that he doesn't really play like his art and design imply; you have this idea of a giant dragon that just flies over walls past fights and stuff and his burning hearts just incidentally incinerate heroes, cool. Then you play him and in reality your flying is entirely useless in most situations and his hearts feel like wet farts to use and manage. He's less of a flying dragon and more of a guy slowly swinging four spiked yoyo's around trying to pinch enemies into them.

I'd kind of be satisfied if his hearts gained damage and size with distance traveled, rapidly decaying once you're in a certain area for too long. That may just be me wanting to play him like Singed though.

ok, can someone explain to me how huge cs differentials tend to develop? I tend to only really notice it when I'm playing ADC. A good example is my most recent game here. Me and Sivir exited laning phase at 101-104 cs respectively, and when I looked at end of game CS she is 70 up. This isn't exclusively a thing I notice with Sivir because occasionally I'll see it every now and then as well, and the ADC's I usually play this season have been Caitlyn or Lucian, so it wasn't an issue of Ez's waveclear being bad. I can only think of two things that could cause this, I was wondering if you guys would have any better ideas:

1.) The enemy adc is simply not grouping with their team and is instead spending most of their time shoving other lanes getting lane creeps/jungle camps at their leisure, uncontested as they are in a somewhat unassailable position

2.) The enemy adc is signaling to their team that they would like to waveclear when sieging so they can get the cs and because they have very good waveclear utility and their team is allowing them to do so.

I ask because for most of the midgame the Sivir was about 1-1.5k ahead of me in gold (due in part because of a slight lead she was able to get off of some positioning and objective mistakes we made as a team) but I'm sure the CS differential accounted for a chunk of that as well. Should I be changing how I group with my team, or should I just be more proactive about taking CS while grouped? I think for the most part when I'm Ez I try to use my Q's to poke and to cs and throw my Ult out onto approaching waves, should I instead be focusing solely on waveclear? If you want to take a quick look at the replay its the most recent on my replay.gg

As ADC, mid and late game, if your jungler is on one side of the jungle, take the other side's camps relentlessly. Learn how to freeze waves and when to push them. To make them hit the enemy tower when their team isn't around. It sounds hard but it's really not that tough. Basically you just have to clear the wave instantly at either XX:15 or XX:45 to get the fastest AFK push, hopefully right as another wave hits your current wave.
