Twitch started Relic Shield into Targon which quickly gave him a personal shield, and I got Censer faster than usual on Janna so he became pretty hilariously unkillable in fights. i just played a game as zilean supp with a twitch adc that went relic. We won lane but lost a bunch of kills we could have easily gotten if he just went doran's blade. It's not like I was even gonna be able to rush ardent for him so I sorta internally questioned the decision but w/e it was nice to get free gold.

In theory you can use ardent on anything that has CC thanks to the stoneborn pact keystone.

I feel like lolalytics has the best stats but jesus christ these ads with the volume turned up to 11 are not cool, especialyl when they play 30 seconds after you open it.

Teikanmi posted:It is if you're just rushing ardent censer to buff your ADC Nah he'd give up too much of his primary advantage in lane by not running tlords. Plus even though his stuns/slows could proc it, typically you're using your e to boost people's speed rather than slow enemies (unless they sorta just got caught with their pants down) because the range on it is p short. I guess bombs are p easy to land in teamfights but I still don't really think it'd be worth it. If I wanna play an ardent support I'll just play nami (or janna).

If you're picking a primarily offensive support like Zilean or Brand do not take Ardent Censer. Bond of stone is not worth giving up early laning pressure on these champions that need to win early.

Brand, no, but Zilean can take BOS/AC. He has a clickslow to consistently apply the mark, a healing ult with large bases, and utility enough to not need to snowball the lane to win. Crushing with 1.8AP double bomb combos is just an option, a potential path to victory that isn't out of reach if you go don't take a damage keystone. Rezzing and area denial and clicking a bunch of actives is strong and consistent too. Brand lacks that fallback and shouldn't take AC/BOS. All you have is "get fed and carry," and way too much "pray the enemy adc doesn't start Dshield."

RealFoxy posted:[*]Any runes you bought before Season 7 started will give you 100 Essence and each Quint 300 Essence (lmao) I did the math, and my ~250 seals/glyphs/marks, 48 quints, and 4 IP rune pages come out to ~45k Blue essence. If they just refunded the full price of only the hybrid pen runes I got (for example), I'd get ~13.5k BE for that alone. I get why they're doing it this way, but it feels kinda lovely to not have enough IP for the rewards that are things I actually don't have (i.e. Urfwick) because I engaged with the silly rune system and tried weird poo poo, if only for a few games, instead of just sitting on my IP (also mad that I spent my ~100k stockpile S6 on weird runes). I know it's dumb, because like, jeez, what do I care if I don't have some cosmetic stuff, and I'm definitely down for a new system, but wow it's weird how that still feels kinda lovely.

At first I parsed that as them somehow getting rid of unlocking champions from shards entirely and thought they were out of their goddamn minds. But as it stands that actually seems reasonable enough? I'm guessing the alternative would be to allow you to cash in some silly number of shards for a random free champion, and that would ultimately just distract from the system they're trying to build and be largely redundant.foutre posted:I get why they're doing it this way, but it feels kinda lovely to not have enough IP for the rewards that are things I actually don't have (i.e. Urfwick) Yeah it really feels like if you're not one of the crazies who have an ooooooooold account and are already sitting on a massive bank of IP from playing a bunch of games every single day you're basically left in the dust on this.

Riot was also forced to address what long-term players got in compensation for being a long-time player that is "forced" to start at level 30 with everyone else.

Bad luck I guess. Hopefully they don't lower the conversion too far from 6.5.

Rezzing and area denial and clicking a bunch of actives is strong and consistent too. I dunno if you've played much zilean but after laning phase you use 99% of your e's on either your engagers so their engage is even better or on your carries so they can kite better. It's great when you can throw it on an enemy champ but it's very short range and basically only comes up when someone is already caught out so bad that the ardent censor + bos combo is irrelevant. You could make a vague argument that throwing it on their tanks as counterengage would be good, but he's really not a champ designed for that and you'd have better options from someone like janna or nami if you want that style. Zilean supp's strength comes from a mixture of lane pressure and mid/late game utility. He combos well with top/jungles that are weak to peel where he uses his e to make them more sticky and then throw bombs on your teammate to followup their pressure, you're not really given a lot of opportunities to just throw it on relevant targets offensively.

Zilean also hard counters a lot of the dudes whose only choice is to run really fast at you to initiate. He completely ruins Nasus, Singed, Darius, etc. A few games ago I completely removed a Darius from a teamfight because his flash was on CD. 20 seconds of him trying to get to the fight and being 90% slowed or stunned In terms of laning, I find it really hard to put lane pressure on any bot lane that has shields/heals, or has an adc that can dash out of the way of bombs. Lucian and Vayne are both awful to deal with for that reason. He does set up ganks extremely well, though; E > Q > W > Q > E after stun is a whole lot of CC at level 3. You'll also make any Rammus/Hecarim player the happiest dude alive Mystery Prize fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Sep 2, 2017 |
