RC Cola posted:Is Vi super weak right now or something? I feel like I explode instantly and do no damage I have a 75% win rate with her this season, so I'm going with no. I'll edit this post soon with build and other info Let me preface this by saying I am in silver. Yeah you can definitely explode if you whiff a punch at the wrong time. I like going 12/0/18 with Heart of the Colossus for the extra durability. I know some people like Thunderlords on her, but I guess I'm not that confident. The big shield from HoC is huge for those early game fights. I take AD Reds, Armor Yellows, MR Blues, and AS Blacks. I haven't done any experimentation here. I usually go bottom side buff, wolves, top buff, then head directly the enemy buff camp across the one I just cleared. Most of the time I manage to get some combination of the buff, their flash, or a kill. She is pretty binary in ganking, your Q has to either connect or burn flash. Q, AA, E is big damage unless you are way behind or not itemizing for AD or something. I go W, E, Q then Q>E>W. Red Smite+Red Buff makes this even better. I start machete+3 pots, then rush Warhammer into Red Smite: Warrior enchantment. After that it is TriForce unless we're getting dumpstered then it doesn't usually matter. After Trinity, it depends. Sometimes I get Cleaver, other games it's Sterak's. Doesn't seem to be hugely important, but I am down here in Silver. I try to focus on doing camps and messing with their jungler unless one of the lanes looks favorable. It's not too hard to drag most lanes to a decent gank on the strength of Vault Breaker and Assault and Battery. Rygar201 fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Sep 11, 2017 |

RC Cola posted:Is Vi super weak right now or something? I feel like I explode instantly and do no damage Vi is a pretty unremarkable low-skillcap jungler (not a diss, I love playing Vi). Like any damage jungler, you just have to pick your moments and can't fight when you don't have a numbers advantage or don't have any of hp/mana/cooldowns. If you have flash-ult up and your midlaner isn't falling asleep, their midlaner is basically dead even if they're two pixels from their tower.

Rygar201 posted:I have a 75% win rate with her this season, so I'm going with no. I'll edit this post soon with build and other info The buff->camp->buff->invade pattern doesn't really work above silver unless you're playing against some garbage champ that doesn't belong in the jungle. Either they mirror your route, going buff->camp-> buff and you're just staring at each other, or they're just now getting to the camp and you're in an even 1v1, except that their teammates are closer than yours. (Playing Willump for years, you have to understand when you're totally on your own, and when their laners can just loving kill you.) Also, there are plenty of champs that will just straight up kill you: Lee, Kha, Kayn, etc Your ganking is pretty dependent on whether your flash is up. If you're level three with double buffs and have flash and they're halfway into the lane, they're probably either dead or chunked out. I would gank then, planning on using flash, then farming up till 6 and looking for ganks when you have ult. Minor itemization notes: her clear is so healthy that there's no reason to do 3pot instead of refillable. Also, warriors -> trinity -> cleaver is 50% CDR, so don't do that. This is just personal preference, but I run the same runes I do on Lee Sin and Kha: AD quints/reds, armor yellows, six scaling CDR blues and three flat MR, so that you have 40% CDR with warrior + trinity or warrior + cleaver. kingcobweb fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Sep 11, 2017 |

Spend more time watching lanes when you're jungling as her. There's no reason to stare at your champ when you're walking through the jungle, and even while clearing camps, all you're doing is using E. If you gank a lane that blew flash and is below 2/3HP it's preeetty hard to gently caress it up.

I guess I should buy scaling CDR blues now that they're like 10 IP a piece. How do you like Kha this season KCW? I got him to mastery 7 earlier but haven't played him much sense.

I just tried proxy Singed (a la singed420) for the first time in 7 years of playing this game and did most damage, tanked most damage, had most gold and minions and went 2/9/19. This should not work.

What are people's thoughts on going tank supps and getting ardent after ss + fotm (obviously with bond of stone). I've been trying it out as braum + random other tank supps and it seems surprisingly effective, you still feel tanky enough to do your job but the damage comes in nice and fast after landing a q or w/e. Locket is next item if the game goes that long (usually not) then just fill out appropriate resistance or snag a warmogs.

Oof, that's a good question. I've long been an advocate of Just Build The Broken Items, regardless of champ. Whether getting Ardent on Braum is worth it though... that might be too far, even for me. I certainly don't want to build it on Thresh, because if you don't build him tank he just explodes whenever you try to make a play. It's kind of a cop-out, but I'd if you decide that Ardent Censer is still so busted that you have to build it on tank supports, then I'd say just play the supports that don't require BoS gimmickry for it to work: Taric, Alistar, Rakan. Plus, those guys have legit AP scaling, unlike Braum (yes I know his ult does scale) If you locked me into a ranked game right now though and I was required to play Braum... nah, I wouldn't get Ardent. You're giving up your entire keystone to the gimmick, and the items are absolute trash until they're completed (and you're a support, so you'll have tons of time with just components in your inventory).

It's kind of nice because instead of having to outplay people you just kind of run away and they outplay themselves It seems like the most antisocial people would enjoy this, so as a goon, I'm all for it

RealFoxy posted:New Xin Zhao update: I think they're content at this point to have a relatively stable roster of competitive/pro picks with some occasional cycling depending on meta shifts, and then a bunch of champs like Annie, Garen, Urgot, Heimerdinger, etc. who scratch some particular playstyle/aesthetic itch and are viable without ever really moving into the meta. I think those changes make him more interesting and give him some more power, and that's probably all they're really aiming for.

I certainly don't want to build it on Thresh, because if you don't build him tank he just explodes whenever you try to make a play. I dunno if you're giving up your whole keystone, I've found cotc kinda wonky on braum because unlike every other tank supp he doesn't get the bubble with his engage, it comes mid fight after the stun. This makes his lane trades kinda janky and weak compared to like an ali combo, it basically only is effective when you're all inning. Even without ardent I think I'd take bond over cotc for the %health (that always works) and giving your adc heals off your q. The 10% extra shielding on ardent also combos well with fotm/locket, and unlike thresh braum has p good tank stats in general (i usually just go scaling armor/mr/health on him). Whether it's worth it over a knights vow or simply rushing locket faster is where I'm mixed. Ali does need BoS for it to work too, he doesn't have the aoe heal anymore and no way you're counting on his 7 minion passive to consistently proc in fights haha. fwiw i do agree you're better off just playing janna/nami if you really want to focus on AC procs but I was more wondering if your team could use a tank supp if people thought it was viable to still build it.

It's not just minion deaths that add a stack, it's any time he CC's someone, and it instantly pops whenever a nearby enemy champ dies. ...but yes you would need BoS on him too

Servaetes posted:Getting super loving tired of Ardent Censer Meta, man I really, really want them to take another pass at support itemization during preseason. The buffs to Ardent were entirely because everyone just went Redemption first item, so they buffed Ardent to make it a viable choice... and now everyone goes Ardent first item instead. It removes a lot of the nuance from itemization, because you're almost always going to get the same 3 items every single game in roughly the same order, with the only variance being how fast you get them.

Athene's is p cool and I really do try to make it work but it always ends up worse than just going ardent. Maybe they could add 10% shielding/healing onto it or something, I feel like if nami can't justify it (and she's prolly the best with it cause her w is always gonna passively rack up the boosted healing in fights, even in just one cast it's nice to have that boost on a bounce) then it's just too weak.
