Have not had a chance to play in a couple weeks, seems as if to nobody's surprise that Camille is irelia 2.0 now with ungankability and busted as hell? new champ with 54% win rate.

i think she wins about 65% of her games on probuilds.net. she's so broken that they need to consider removing entire skills from her kit

A lot of Malz i've seen forget that his silence also refreshes Malefic's duration, so keep that in mind for trades and try to delay its use.

I am not entirely sure why she gets that second hop off the walljump if it isn't used against a enemy, every single other bruiser with mobility like that either requires a enemy target for the second dash or a cooldown reduction of it so they can't just avoid ganks for eternity while also engaging from a screen off.

Not sure which is stronger but my friend has been playing MF adc and it owns. Free kill at 6 for sure.

What is that guy talking about a push lane. You don't need to push with malz, only put your E on champs. Sometimes the little guys will forget about the enemy if they run far enough and they'll chomp some minions but it doesn't push that hard.

if you mean me i was talking about the ziggs adc lane in general. idk anything about support malz, as i don't play any void based champions...too spooky

It's not necessarily way better than jarvan's ult, like yeah you can escape jarvan's ult but otoh jarvan ulting on a squishie practically one shots them whereas I've seen plenty of camilles go too far in, ult on an adc then immediately die. At least jarvan would have probably got the kill.

Camille's wave control seemed really bad when I tried her, you need tiamat to waveclear but also need trinity force to unlock her damage which makes her awkward until 1.5 items. I think her kit is keepable if they nerf her early trading and solidify her as a scaling champ.

The biggest problem is her mobility, really; they should have just called her Mobility the Creep. She can very easily choose when fights do and do not happen.

Pseudo-TPs are soooo different from dashes though. No one is ranting about Tahm Kench's unparalleled mobility

Also the difference between free aim dashes and target dashes is pretty significant. The one exception being Ivern who can dash his entire goddamn team to any enemy or neutral unit for 80 mana. (Or whatever it is now.)

Yeah after you hit a skillshot?? A lot happens after you hit Blitz skillshot, too; it doesn't even dash Ivern himself very far most of the time because you've usually just been in a brush

well yeah, but i think they count in a way what with the tp nerfs

it's just weird to me that they nerfed tp, then gave a big chunk of new champs big map play spells I guess

also I'm mostly being facetious because champs with built-in mobility actually are a lot of fun to play, and the only ones in recent memory that have been completely overbearing are release ekko and camille

I mean in a typical fight, yeah, it's not as impactful. But he can do some wacky poo poo in the jungle pre or post fight with it, save people, save himself, cause a lot of problems if the Ivern is any good. Comparatively, Illaoi's target dash moves her a foot forward and does a little damage. Everyone else has complete nonsense movement abilities, Taliyah and Bard, a TP on Tahm and then all the other people in the last two years have free aim dashes. I'm not going to agree that mobility is a bad thing, mobility is fun, but maybe they've gone a little overboard.

E: Or more specifically what I'm getting at is that not all movement skills are created equal, and Riot is crazy.

i personally dont think champs with dashes should exist unless every champ can have a dash similar to the flash spell that everyone can have theres no good reason why champion x needs a dash but champion y doesnt, regardless of what kind of champion they are a super duper mega tank is just as dead if he gets caught by 5 mans out on his own as is a super squishy marksperson, and both of them can get away clean and trigger keyboard breaking bullshit frustration by tapping a button but thats fair and fine because everyone has the flash button so why exactly does the super duper mega tank need also a dash but the marksperson not or vice versa?

there is no reason but some abstract idea of game balance or vision or whatever circklejerk that riot and the player base are notoriously poo poo at recognizing anyway so why not give up on any pretense of game balance being a factor and just give everyone or no one a dash just remove it from every champion kit and put it on a summoner spell then we will all run d for dash and f for flash and we can stop having this conversation about broken mobility because everyone will be just as broken or not as everyone else

If you have hard CC on a basic ability 0/12/18 with courage of the colossus

If you're a damage dealer without that then 12/18/0

If you're neither then lol get hosed Nunu

Is Quasus actually good if you're under plat? Every time I've played it I've become an unstoppable split pusher that promptly becomes ganked by three people while my team mills around mid lane doing nothing while you're drawing all the pressure top.

That sounds like the split push experience in general, not specific to Quasus. The solution is to ward, and to start backing after every wave you clear. Just cancel the back if no one actually comes to stop you before the next wave shows up, quickly blow up that wave, then start backing again. Alternately, play Teemo and instead of all that fake backing just stealth beside a dead tower and use your mushrooms as additional wards. And spam your laugh.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

e: The only reason I mention Quasus is because on any other champion that split pushes, they can still be useful elsewhere. Quasus really isn't outside of his slow and an aoe armor shred. He's not like Trundle or Jax or Yi that can still blow people up.
