I haven't played this game in just over a month, remember rank decay, realized gently caress, play a couple games and every pick is bonkers bot lane and even mid lane is screwy.

Pretty cool, wish I hadn't taken a break since I've missed...some amount of time of this before its inevitably changed.

I dunno, silver hasn’t changed much except for that real bad Nasus that tried to bot lane with me. I’m sure it’s just silver and it won’t last long enough for it to take hold.

low gold/silver is basically the same as it used to be, bruiser botlanes seem pretty rare

I dunno, low Gold/high Silver is exactly where I'm queueing, and I definitely see more "bruiser" lanes (though it's not always pure bruiser champions; I've seen Yasuo for instance) than conventional euro-lanes.

e: just checked; in my last 10 games I've had 9 euro-lanes (and 11 "other").

bruiser lanes are slowly becoming more scarce everywhere because all of the adcs realized theyve been specializing in a completely homogeneous role with no translatable skills to other champs that do things other than right click at 500 range and theyd rather be playing a bad char at a plat or gold level than vlad at a bronze level

MF is fun with the new changes, but it is not fun when your team has no peel or bruiser of their own which means i will always die to the nocturne jungle.

Ogres are like onions
I do ranked at silver 2 in euw and I'm yet to see a bruiser botlane. A few people pick lucian but most of the time they're sticking with crit ADCs. I'm a bard main right now so I punish them for their poor decisions

In mid-gold I'm just seeing a lot of people play Ezreal, because I think he's the champion a lot of people fall back on now that the usual ADCs are now terrible. I haven't seen any really wacky bot lanes. It's really nice because I've just been spamming Miss Fortune (who has a 54.5% win rate on op.gg!) and basically have been crushing every Ezreal in lane and then transitioning to punishing everyone else.

The only weird thing I've seen is people trying to do that wacky Taric/Yi strat from Korea, which worked once when it was on my team and then when I saw the other team do it, they flubbed it or something?

Miss Fortune, Lucian, and to a lesser extent Ashe are all still workable. I think you can probably get Varus and Kog to still work as well.

Any non-crit ADCs are still perfectly viable. Draven, MF, Ezreal, and Kai'Sa still crush it hard, although their early games are still a bit touch-and-go depending on the opposing duo.

I like aery keystone. Usually go yomuus to duskblade then it splits depending on what you want (cleaver, stormblade, bloodthirster).

Usually go qwqe then r>q>w>e. Remember to use your q after your auto goes out.

Ghostblade, Duskblade, Black Cleaver, (game ends here) Rapidfire Cannon, Bloodthirster?

I used to take comet but since laning doesn't last more than 5 minutes anymore, I've been getting good use out of conqueror, heal when kills, attack speed (might drop this for lifesteal to be honest), coupe de grace and definitely get Celerity and Scorch in the minor tree. Scorch is a lot of fun and you don't need Gathering Storm with how short games are. Celerity scales really well with MF's W and Ghostblade.

i wanted to practice some kai'sa last night and i got a support syndra who hid behind me in lane, didn't auto anything except to occasionally take a cs??? and placed six wards in the entire game. then top gragas yelled at me for not wanting to 2v2 the 16 kill jax with him.

kai'sa has a really satisfying AA tho, i like her.

Stormrazor is the fuckin tits on MF if you can consistently land the second hit of double-up on dudes. Lethality items are way more reliable and less gimmicky though.

There's never enough bans. At some point you have to learn to play around them.

It gives you flexibility around back timings and the ability to farm a side wave and still get to a fight so yeah it's pretty good for all the reasons global abilities are always good.

its good and probably has been for a while. the real problem with it is that its trivial to make a completely worthless or even detrimental teleport, whereas its harder to do that with combat summoners
