So I'm kinda on my way to becoming a Nunu main, but I'm getting some weird pushback as if he's a troll pick. Champion.gg puts him as one of the top junglers - I'm not crazy, am I? He's a good hero...right?

he was a pretty bad pick for a good long time and only recently got some qol buffs that made him strong and viable. even then though a lot of his effect is subtle because his gimmick beyond eating stuff is shifting value around by buffing his team's movespeed and aspd and sapping movespeed and aspd from enemies, so he gets hate and it looks like he's not doing much even when he's actually influencing fights a ton.

What the gently caress level are you where any of those summoner spells or item builds are acceptable, even versus bots

So here's a question: if I can't queue with a dude more than 1 division lower than me in ranked, why the gently caress can I get someone 2 divisions lower than me on my team?

There is no reason I should be seeing Gold 1 players in a D2 game.

I don't think division matters for matchmaking, it's all MMR. You could conceivably have a bronze player in a challenger game if they tank their LP enough with dodges, etc.

Fair enough, I guess; he definitely played like he had the awareness of a gold player, but he could've just been having a bad game

'Startocaster' is more fun to say than I expected.

Assassin patch is going to overall nerf AD Shaco but ONCE AGAIN AS I HAVE REPEATED OVER AND OVER AP Shaco has been steadily getting better and better and with his Q now scaling with AP there has never been a better time to be a total loving rear end in a top hat Shaco by rushing runic echoes, hextech revolver, and sheen, and maxing Q over E once the patch drops

The stealth time reduction at lower ranks doesnt matter as much as you think because although its nice, shaco's Q is a loving flash on an 8-10 sec cooldown

Tell me more. I am willing to give this a try. Is the full sheen item Lich Bane (for +AP) or still Trinity? Do you then build tanky? Does being AP make crit less useful? Do you even bother with Tiamat? Boot recommendation (magic pen, swiftness, mobis?)? Is this worth screwing around with before the patch drops (seems like a "hell yes")?

Sorry if some of these questions sound dumb, I have only played a few Shaco games, so I am new to it all.

Huh fixes to Daisy and Q has a shorter cooldown and now can be activated by pressing Q again. Pleasant little changes to Ivern that I was looking to see!

You can play Kayle just fine without Rylai's

Jungle Yasuo is like drugs. Everyone does it for different reasons in the privacy of their Solo Q games. But as soon as they have to show their face in public, they immediately blame the other people that are doing it for some nonsensical reason.



















I actually don't jungle Yasuo.

Some bad advice for people trying to get a S+ on support. If you're not feeding in lane and not dying 24/7, I find buying a mejaj helps in keeping track on how you're doing. If you can keep a 25 stack mejaj, you're probably gonna get a s.

don't do this on ranked though.

I kind of like idea of putting the cooldown on specific walls rather than on the ability but I dunno how I'm going to feel as a supp having to deal with an assassin that can basically jump infinite walls to take any path they want.

Also assassin's creed joke.

Depending on how much hp the little raptors have it could mean a return of jungle irelia too. Assuming she can one shot the little ones with a Q (or auto Q).

I can sort of see the argument that given time for infinite scaling nasus's q should be a better execute than smite but there's really no reason not to have both. Plus since he isn't laning and can't just splitpush forever i imagine he won't stack the q that fast.
