I feel like she's one of the easier champs in the game to tone down, considering everything save Final Spark is a linear skillshot. Just tweak the missile speeds to increase her skill floor and everything's right as rain.

Why, though? There's nothing wrong with her being a viable support for realz instead of the garbage "i wanted to pick mid" character she was before.

I mean, in the theoretical world where they decide they have to nerf her, that's probably the tack I would take. In reality, her kit is so outdated and her weaknesses are so transparent that they'd have to crank her ratios up enormously before she starts to eat hard nerfs and not merely get her power shuffled around.

Had a promo game this morning where I was Pyke supporting Yasuo. Worked pretty well. Double Relic is a ton of sustain, and the extra income for Pyke was cool. Plus, the guy would wall every single Ashe arrow.

Does pyke's hook turn on Yasuo ult? Even if not that lane sounds pretty awful to lane against especially as Ashe goddamn.

Any support with a displace - like Alistar or Pyke - combos well with Yasuo ADC. The ultimate spicy combo is Vi/Yasuo, but I recommend this for "advanced pros" only.

ADC is legit not functioning though because it's missing a 25% amp. I did the math and three-and-a-half item adc used to do about 375-400 net damage, which is the point where you fourshot squishies, now it does closer to like 320. Without that damage boost, IEdge is kind of missing like...20 AD and a real buildpath to not be godawful if you go crit. If it had 100 AD crit ADCs would be fine going stormrazor IEdge Zeal Item.

I just enjoy alot of champs more than him now. Both him and Mundo feel old as gently caress and I'd honestly like updates, despite how effective they may be at the moment. Like Mundo is kind of stupid-good right now as far as effectiveness goes.

Draven: 8/4/25, 75cs, 20k dmg to enemy champs: S
Lucian: 17/7/15, 64cs, 26k dmg to enemy champs: Not even S-

(I was the Draven, so my only complaint here is that you can't get hextech chests on champs you dont own.)

(There was also an Anivia, who went 12/4/23, not even S- either, but she had 36cs so that's less mystifying.)

the grading is curved, and nobody really knows how the weighting works. is it +10 points for kill, +5 for assist, -10 for death? how does kill participation factor in? does warding matter a lot? what about objectives..? all of this is a mystery. but if you play crap champions and do well you get s ranks, and if you play good champions and do well riot gives you a B- because you totally could have had 100 more cs and placed 20 wards and not taken 3 trades in lane or some enigmatic crap

Lucian is outrageously strong right now so it's way harder to get a good grade with him, because the average game for him is better than the average game for a lot of other characters.

When you're playing Draven, do people usually actually throw both axes on AA cd or do they just throw one at a time to make it easier to keep the streak going?

I assume you want to try and get to where you're doing both at the same time to push as fast as possible, I just find it kinda hard to actually catch them on cd like that

My store has sacred sword Janna for 70% off. I like playing Janna, so this is tempting. But should I hold out for forecast Janna in a few years once that one rolls around on sale? Basically is sacred sword Janna better or worse than forecast Janna?
