Winning a close game and seeing the losing team bitch about each other in post-game is one of the funniest things in this game. Especially if they're asking you to report a player who wasn't having a bad game but was just being countered or focused.

i also really like the super indignant botlane quinn who, in that game, just sat under tower passively farming and spamming w for no reason and refused to go in on any engages because that could interrupt her precious farming

It only does that much damage on its first strike, and the damage on every hit is determined by its hp apparently

How to play from behind as a top laner now: CS under first tower, warn your other lanes that your opponent will roam, ward deep enough in your own jungle to see dives and run from them in time (hopefully).

How to play from behind as a top laner after rift herald change: CS under first tower, *REEEEE*, wait 30 seconds, CS under inhib tower.

It also looks like summoning it takes a long time, would still basically guarantee a tower in late game though. Having a baron recall for as long as you have it seems like a great thing as well.

Split push Teemo buff.

Did the little guy back or did he stealth? Let's blow our trinkets to hunt for shrooms and fire skill shots at brushes just in case! Oh, it turns out he stealthed in the middle of the lane and is now backing on top of me after I ran into a shroom. Well played, Teemo.

[Teemo's team goes on to lose because the Teemo never actually left top lane ever.]

yeah baron recall is too tasty to give up quickly but I bet a good strat would be to take first tower, wait until your team engages a 4 or 5 v 4, then release the kraken on the inner and base turrets, could probably take both unless your team gets completely bodied. Seems like stopping it is going to take more than one person, since although it doesn't target champs you will just get wailed on by the split pusher while you're trying to kill the bug

i actually like the idea of being able to siege down a tower without a massive lead / split push / the baron, but i am sure there will be some idiotic degenerate strategy that will make this busted in a way other than it was intended.

edit: of course i assume this is just intended for teams without great siege to have an option to siege without baron or a giant lead, and i could be wrong. having that little dude lets you take a tower as a melee champ without having to just split forever i should think>?

Wait you mean other champions don't get 50% armor pen and double critical strike for free on top of huge mobility and the ability to completely blank a huge amount of ultimates? Weird.

(Most Yasuo players are still garbage though)

I like the idea of just dropping the Herald on the opposite side of the map while there's a big fight going on, because no way are most players gonna remember a) the herald was taken and b) hasn't been used yet so push a wave in and drop herald feels like it's gonna be a common thing. Though I'd assume it doesn't scale so presumably the longer you wait to drop it the easier it's gonna be to take down.

Yorick and anyone with a Banner or Zz'Rot already does this, so the obvious build of choice is going to be Banner/Zz'Rot Yorick!

This tooltip suggests that you only have four minutes to summon the herald, after which the item disappears along with the empowered recall.

Yeah so why does he have all that poo poo? He doesn't even have to manage a resource. I mean at least for Aatrox for example the free revive and no resource bar is balanced by the fact that he sucks.

he probably has all that stuff in his kit because with all of it he still has a sub 50% win rate. im not a betting man, but if he had less stuff in his kit it would be lower i would think

Turnrate is a dumb thing that doesn't exist. This game ain't dota, it ain't balanced like dota, the similarities between the two games end at "lanes with minions in them that you kill for money"

it could be one of those situations where if you make him less tempting to play for dumb people that the players that remain will actually be good at him. A lot of strong champs with flashy kits have lower winrates because people can't accept that they're not an up n coming pro assassin.
