Syndra should be able to stomp low ELO, because no one down there seems to realize how dangerous her balls are just being on the field. She's great for learning positioning.

Down here in Silver, obviously it comes down to the player, but just had a game against her and she was p much useless.

Had to do some impromptu jungle last night as I wasn't paying 100% attention during champ select and someone wanted top when they saw me going bear top so that was fun.

I didn't have smite and didn't realize I was jungle until after I bought my lane kit and skill. Hung out with nasus top for a Lil bit pushing garen away and getting nasus mad creep score

Nasus lost top gently caress him but LeBlanc had a free mid since enemy pyke decided with him and Shaco roaming they wouldn't need one.

LeBlanc went nuclear.

I existed to make sure towers didn't shoot anyone and I'll call that a victory

People accusing me of hacking because they do not understand Varus' AP ratios gives me life.

It’s probably because so many AP Varus’ try to play it like lethality Varus and don’t understand detonating stacks. So they’ve never seen how ridiculous the burst can be.

It's scary when you come across the rare top or mid varus and your laner doesn't know what sort of damage they are capable of and just gets blown up instantly.

It wasn't a very good syndra then. She is very tricky to play well.

Riot also destroyed her early game power so short games will never see her do a lot.

The best thing is hitting a Tryndamere with my ult and he thinks "oh I'm still at 80% health I don't need to go deathproof" and then my follow up empowered Q reduces them to ash.

Started playing Akshan mid now that I've gotten a bit bored of playing only top yorick.

Didn't click at first until i realized I should just yolo rope into my opponent from lvl 1. Might be a dumb but it seems to pay off in bronze so far.
Even if I don't kill them they don't get the memo and will just move back into position 5 seconds later.

The stealth detection radius on W seems a bit harsh, and R seems a bit lackluster but maybe I just don't know how to use it well yet

Randomly started playing Darius top after getting tired of freewinning on Ashe support. Darius is quite fun, especially when there is no ignite in the game. I usually don't like the immobile bruisers but enjoying him first few games. Gonna be a pain in the rear end when I face a Quinn or Jayce though.

So what's going on here, taric and rell buffs are stacking with each other recursively?

Yup. Jak'sho probably doesn't have any kind of anti-recursion flag stapled to its bonus resists, so every buff update cycle has it give Taric 15% of his bonus Armor, which then gets transferred to Rell via his E, whose own Jak'sho increases her now-buffed Armor by 15%, which then gets transferred to Taric via her E, etc.

yup, although she's genuinely struggling, hovering at around 46% WR as of 13.1b

i think she's one of those champions where the sense of unfairness when facing her can mask how limp she is in a whole lot of games. vex or lissandra or TF are almost completely unwinnable matchups for her if she doesn't massively overperform, and then she becomes nothing much more than an ERQ bot for occasional poke

One of Jax's prior passives gave him HP from AD & AP. Atma's Impaler gave AD based on your max HP. They didnt recursively stack to infinity, but it was hilariously efficient on Jax because they'd keep feeding into each other until the gains werent large enough to display.

You could actually see your AD and HP pingpong a couple times when you bought it (and any time you bought AD/HP afterwards)

This seems like a perfect description of a really badly-designed champion, right? If a champion has almost completely unwinnable matchups but feels unfair to play against when she's doing well, then you can't really balance her except in that fake "half the time she's useless, half the time she's unfair to play against -- perfectly balanced 50% win rate!" sorta way.

Just an FYI: there's an unusual bug in the current patch that's causing autoattacks to glitch out wildly, with everything from random autoattack cancels to no partial auto resets from certain spells (e.g. Lucian passive). If you've been playing and it feels like you're massively loving up your attack-moving for no reason, it's not you. Might want to avoid playing ranked until they figure it out if you're playing any champs that rely heavily on autoattacks, especially ones with any kind of spellweaving like Lucian.

Numbers wise he's pretty overtuned yeah

But he's also extremely vulnerable to hard CC, so a great solo queue terrorizing champ but who knows where he'll end up?


However Annie has like a 57% winrate right now in mid, it's pretty insane! If there's a hotfix I imagine it's for her and possibly some asol tuning?

Looking at it, Aurelion Sol is really good in lower elos (52-53% in Silver/Gold), but is closer to 50% at plat+, and sub 50% at diamond+. He's a champ similar to kayle where if you let him get strong by not punishing him, he grows out of control and you can't really win. But you can bully him to snowball out of control before he gets a chance to outscale you. It's just that bronze/iron/gold players have trouble ending games, and it makes it so he gets the option to scale to a 1v9 point.
