I like the idea of gaining damage from layering CC. Other than that she seems fairly ehh.

Depending on the definition of long range on the ult, I may have a boner? All I've ever wanted was a new Barathrum.

Also is she literally just Venom?

i want the lasers or plasma whatevers to sound like pew pew. also the champion seems to want to plan assassinations and map movement a lot, which is really interesting(her q is really lovely if the enemy is surrounded by minions, her upgraded W wants you to catch someone in a lane... away from minions, and her R and E are specifically for macro positioning) in terms of having a different playstyle than most adcs except like... kindred..?

The sort of alternate universe they've been quietly building through Dark Star and a couple other skin lines of a universe where the League is a galactic scale thing is pretty cool. Aurelion fires literal galaxies, etc.

Gonna have to see the numbers, but my pretty much immediate concern is that a supposedly hyperscaling champ with early game waveclear is an absolute balancing nightmare.

She at least gets a Guyver helmet when she's in combat for long enough.

the waveclear looks like dog poo poo!!! and it will be very easy to balance: "missiles do 30% damage against minions"

I mean, when Zoe got her reveal, I thought, "Oh, I see. Her balancing factor will be that her Q does less damage to minions," and look where we ended up. I'm not holding my breath this time.

It's called survival of the fittest. If you can't slam with the best, jam with the rest.
I'm trying to figure out how to pull myself out of Silver. Currently sitting at Silver 1, and I don't know if I've just had a rough string of luck lately but it seems like every time I climb up to promos, or have too many consecutive wins, League throws games at me where I have to hardcarry or lose. I'll have games where we have a strong lead early game and get objectives left and right - only to mess up in teamfights late game. Or there will be a laner or two that goes 0/9 by 20 minutes.

I've had people tell me they think I play at a higher level than high silver, and they're probably right when it comes to specific things like dodging skillshots or whatever, but there are probably some things I'm messing up on too that are keeping me where I am. I'm a jungle main that mostly plays tanky farming junglers. My laning is reasonable - I can orbwalk and last hit fairly well, but I'm even less aware of what my weak points might be in those roles. What are some good resources for shoring up weaknesses/identifying weaknesses and actively working toward improving them?

She builds adc items by default but has a mechanic where her skills evolve based on which stats you buy and her W evolves with AP suggesting that they're trying to support an AP offbuild on her. Her actual damage output is mixed since she's an adc with on hit magic damage.

What are some good resources for shoring up weaknesses/identifying weaknesses and actively working toward improving them?

It's difficult to give very specific advice beyond general platitudes. Broadly speaking, the questions I would ask are:
  • How are you generating a lead for your team? What's your general plan for generating a lead?
  • How are you using that lead once you do acquire it?
  • How are your fundamentals? In your case: do you have your basic pathing down pat? Do you know how to gank lanes properly? Are you tracking the enemy jungler in a basic way (e.g. I know he started Red, so he'll likely be going up to Raptors -> Blue, then Scuttle...)?
  • How are you playing the midgame? Are you prioritizing objectives and nudging your team towards them? Are you getting dragged into random plays by your team and throwing your lead?
If you post a replay of a losing game you thought you did well in, I can go through it and try to offer some advice, though I can't provide many jungle-specific tips beyond the bare essentials of pathing. If you want eyes on your replay, you can download the replay in the client, go to your My Documents/League of Legends/Replay folder, and upload the appropriate .rofl file to something like mixtape.moe or any other file sharing service.

Man, they gotta do something with that fucker. The latest nerf showed how unbelievably useless the rest of his kit is, and that ain't healthy for getting him into a balanced spot (especially if they end up having to change Guinsoo's ever).

The way the description was worded in the preview suggests that the different bonuses aren't mutually exclusive, so you can potentially have them all late game. No idea whether a true hybrid build would be practically possible/desirable, but I want to try. Rageblade seems like it'd be custom-made for her.

depends on the thresholds for activating them, but rageblade/bork/wit's end maybe gets closest.
