Ugh, I wish I could just teleport to your location and start whining about plants to you in person. This would be my second useless hero power, after Le Freak by Chic blaring at obnoxiously high volume whenever anyone says "I'm freaking out." around me.

Hextech Gunblade has also had spellvamp all season despite it being removed from revolver and WOTA

I thought they specifically left it on gunblade so it would be the weird unique leech item

Gunblade has omnivamp, which applies to all damage you do, including a bunch of damage sources that neither spellvamp nor lifesteal apply to like some bleeds or procs.

Yeah but he has 500AD and 26 kills and a red pot, of course a no tank item Rengar is going to get 2 shot. That's not that surprising.

The change to Gunblade and removal of WotA are why Vlad got some of his sustain changes, actually; spell vamp the way it used to be just doesn't exist anymore for the most part. I think it's only on one mastery and some runes.

Come to think of it is Jhin potentially on the block for being bashed to death with nerfs? I feel like he's fine and not super oppressive but seeing him in pro play a lot is a bit of a concern.

If anything it feels like Caitlyn might be looked at if we're talking adcs that need to be toned down

He has a pretty good winrate at worlds so it's definitely possible. However, I don't think he'll get hit very hard. There are only like four ADCs getting any play at all at worlds and while Jhin is probably the most consistent he doesn't seem at all oppressive.

Vermain

Jhin's playrate at Worlds mostly has to due with the massive amount of team utility he brings to the table in the form of creating picks with Deadly Flourish/Curtain Call. He's still got terrible mobility, very average attack range and bad AoE, so I doubt he's going to get hit that much if at all. Maybe they'll shave a quarter second off of Deadly Flourish or something, but I otherwise think he's perfectly fine.

If you decided not to touch Doombots because you've played it before and bots aren't exciting, you really should because it's got some pretty significant, teemo-esque changes.

The Teemoing was kind of easy. Picked Gangplank and watched bots just run into barrels for 1k damage. Giant Teemo himself gets melted by death's daughter cannon upgrade. I should bust out the crit damage runes just for fun.

kennen seems pretty alright in doom bots since they invariably start grouping as 5

he also explodes as soon as you go in to ult, but it's still enough damage/cc to stop them from pushing for a while
