That ryze dive gif... How do u miss a Yorick who is standing literally on top of u with ur q. Also shouldn't have flashed e. If he waited for q and flash e q it was free kill.

Played a bit of Karma mid I thought of building flat ap items instead of utility but the ardent censor shield + athenes heals is just too good. That shield gets so massive. Imo only problem with her is that u can't carry late game and have to rely on ADC. Her laning phase is pretty good due to free ult lvl1 so u normally win lane easily. I usually start dark seal and still win lane because she is so strong early-mid game. Late game u have to rely more on your shields and u don't get much dmg off on their backline unless they are getting sieged or frontline adc positioning going on. I also wondered if getting windspeaker is any good as midlaner but thunderlord is really useful for midlane trades.

On a sidenote I have a guy in my friendlist who plays Illaoi top with Windspeaker Blessing. He is only gold 1 so I don't know if he is opinion is really trustworthy but he says its the best keystone on her lol.

I generally think your posts are solid but you really need to start typing out "you" because it's driving me mad at this point

You somehow listed every mastery but the two she is best with, Stormraider and Deathfire and the number sites back it up as 3-5% winninger then the other choices.

The only new thing that sucks is that unupgraded red trinket disables Shaco's boxes from activating... in a small AoE once every 60-90 seconds.
Agree, the unupgraded red trinket does that yes

But I'm talking about the upgraded one where it not only can reveal you but it makes escape nearly impossible because it stops your escape path boxes from working in a massive AoE for like 10 seconds which is more than enough time to get past it and get you

It also negates a ton of Shaco's in lane power as well (I watch Pink Ward), mostly because AP builds like I like doing are heavily reliant on boxes, boxes, and more boxes to slowly shove the lane while keeping a safe zone where if the enemy pops in, you can survive

i've literally never played illaoi so i p much just listed off all the good masteries for bruisers, but this makes more sense now that i think about it

dft still sounds kind of weird but applying it to the entire enemy team every what, 1.5 seconds? is pretty nice, and she's a pretty poke-heavy laner so i can see it beating thunderlords

let's pretend i'm not an idiot and that list was just "i'd prefer any of these non-optimal masteries because who the gently caress takes windspeakers on illaoi"

So I moved to Europe for a couple years and have started leveling an account on EUW. Since it's been like 5 years since I leveled an account, is it still useless to buy runes before T3 or whatever? Also, is there a chat channel on EUW for Goons?

a: i was trying to micro out of tower range and didnt move my mouse fast enough. also pointblank qs, especially after someone flashes, are reasonably hard to hit
b: yorick had flash. if e+auto wasnt enough to kill him i was not reliably going to hit anything else, and i had to flash immediately or i risk him flashing first - not using q because he still has that up

also you should probably know this if youre gonna dispense ryze advice but his e resets his q. makes u think

They scrapped T1 runes, and all T2 runes (which have 70%+ effect of T3s) are 1 IP each, so no. (Also it was never useless because a 'full' page of old T1s was still like 300 IP total.)

Tier 2 runes are the most ip efficient runes because they only cost 1 ip and you can now have an ap setup and an ad setup for 60 ip and it really helps in those early levels

Naturally tier 3 runes are still the best and still the worst grind in the game

i have a new smurf and used tier 2 magic pen runes. for 9 IP you get 6.1 mpen, which is only 22% less effective than the 7.8 mpen tier 3 runes which are a 41000% increase in price

So! More methanar games tonight? Next few days are going to be relatively chill after working for 18 hours a day for 5 days straight while I wait for the rest of the equipment to ship.

I'm thinking about going for a trip either today or tomorrow to New York for a few days. Any specific recommendations for fun things to do and see or other places to go to while I'm on the east coast?

I already took a trip to DC and got culturally enriched there.

I would recommend stopping at the first barber shop you see in NYC and tell them to gently caress your poo poo up. If they just spin the chair around and tell you done then you know you are good.

Seriously though the best thing about NYC is the restaurants. It's pretty hard to run a bad restaurant in that city and not immediately fail. Whatever your favorite kind of food is, go hit up a restaurant there that serves it and get crazy.

The tourist poo poo in NYC is all really lame but the museums are cool (same with DC really). If you like theater at all, Broadway is the best place in the world for it.

The first homeless person you see make sure to fire a Q at him and tell him "you belong in a museum" and then take him with you free of charge.
