If anyone is wondering, Zed support is as bad as it sounds, even if the guy says "trust me, freelo inc"
Oh yes, I played against a Zed support yesterday as Nami.. If my Jhin hadn't been suicidal, it would have been even more easy than it was. Like this, I think Jhin ended up at 15 deaths (more than everyone else combined), but in the end we still won because other than split pushing and killing Jhin when he wandered into the Jungle all alone he didn't really do anything. That Quinn he was paired with wasn't you, was it?

It said I had a penta on Nocturne and told me I was the best Nocturne in NA and I thought, I don't remember getting a penta and I also play on OCE. So I checked and it was a bot game. It counts bot games.

all of my pentas were in real games, but one of them was on jinx and another was on twitch so really the only one that counted was my kassadin penta

1-1 for my Silver II advancements. I'm noticing a strong correlation between playing Janna and winning games, specifically being alive and winning teamfights. Redemption and new Locket are very nice, but I wouldn't mind more variety.

Its insanely good at what its supposed to do (short invulnerability + enemy cant escape no matter what), it only feels underwhelming because all of cyberelia's other skills have like, 5 different components each.

Calling it now, save this post: Camilles first ult nerf will come after the first tourney she's in, when a team builds aroind max CDR with witchcap , immediately deciding every fight by trapping the enemy carry and going Golden Mode.

Technically they succeeded, because unlike Kalista, Camille's abilities all synergize really well into a fluid play style. And unlike Yasuo, she isn't loving Yasuo.

That said she's probably going to get some numbers tweaks at some point, if she gets even a little ahead right now she can happily dance around and slaughter anyone who is stupid enough to be alone without a knockback.


E: Also I don't know what to tell you if you think having one of the few disjoints in the game, plus a 4 man knockback, plus the ability to trap really dangerous people alone is underwhelming.

Seriously. I thought they'd learned by now that a critical component of champion design is creating champions that have obvious, exploitable weaknesses to counteract their strengths. Think about Darius: despite my occasional grousing about him, he's actually a very well-designed character, because his singular flaw (he's slow as poo poo and has to be close to you to do anything) creates ways that you can play around him, and he, in turn, can occasionally play around those limitations (through summoner spells/masteries/items). Camille's weakness, I guess, is that she's less great at extended trades compared to Irelia, but only when her ult isn't up (and it's got a tiny-rear end cooldown by rank 3, especially considering that building CDR on her isn't a bad idea at all).

Witchcap is the TT one and there is a 0% chance of Riot balancing around treeline. I also kind of doubt that Zhonya's would be as effective as just building tank to be honest.

I think it's great that immediately after nerfing a 70% rank 1 slow they release a 90% rank 1 slow. It's a decaying slow but still.

I mean, they failed to account for it with Ryze, I'd assume its the same case for Camille. I dont have 8000 IP right now so no.

Camille's weakness is that her damage is backloaded and if she whiffs her hookshot she's got no way to fight back against somebody trying to perforate her while all her delayed damage whiffs due to inability to close in. It's a pretty obvious one, just frustrating anyway because of the hookshot stun making her damage basically guaranteed. Swap it for a slow and she's a really 'clean' champion.
