"Welcome to pound town, Slifer slacker!"


I have Jhin words but their validity is suspect. I think he does enough damage base-line that you can forgo the IE till last as a huge boost to your late-game, ER --> PD --> DD/BT lets you live through almost any assassin if you're keeping up with them and means you never run out of mana for your abilities, which are all really strong for how simple they are. Admittedly I also go Deathfire Grasp because even after the nerfs you can apply the 4 second dot pretty regularly, which is important because it has a 4 in it.

These have been my Jhin words, based on the fact that if I play him any other way I hate how he plays but running down 40% cdr using ER Zeal DD is super fun and makes him far more useful in a fight than increasing the damage on his fourth shot, which you'll often die trying to get off if you've gone IE Zeal.

So it turns out Rek'sai is really, really good.

Like I'm all for hobos bear slapping people but land shark has been really fun, and her new ult feel awesome... except against anyone who notices that literally any mobility skill avoids 100% of the damage from it (including basic bitch poo poo like Lucian dash or Trynd E).

He's the most skillful champion in the game! EVERYTHING IS A SKILL SHOT OH MY GOD.

If I remember, that's pretty much what Riot said when they released him.

Some of their old design philosophies are, uh, interesting. Nidalee was similiar. Her whole gimmick was she was supposed to be a more difficult (high skill cap) version of Ashe.

Better than that. He had the best heal in the game. It was on his W and it healed every ally it went through and damaged every enemy it went through for the same amount.

So with AP ez, you fire like 2 W's off into a team fight and you just win.

SSJ_naruto_2003
Oct 12, 2012



Yeah they made him where he would. Be 'effective' if either 1 of 4 or 1 of 3 skillshots landed.

So then he was really busted because more than that landed. His W healed everyone including him, damaged everyone for a lot, slowed their attack speed by an absurd amount

It was such a hilariously thought-out assumption. Weirdly, they ended up replicating the problem almost exactly with Azir's release: the champion sucks if you're an underskilled player, but is unimaginably broken in the hands of someone mechanically competent.
