i've been grinding vayne games. i dunno how i feel about this hero. like i'm 10 kills up but feel like i'm doing nothing still, it's weird. also ghostblade first is sooooo much better than the botrk rush.

That's just how Vayne feels. The only skill that "feels" super satisfying is Condemn (which is incidentally one of two major skills that differentiate a good Vayne and a noscope Vayne). A lot of it is that much of her damage/steroid is locked in Tumble and Silver Bolts, and outside those moments of burst you just feel like Generic ADC.

BotRK isn't a bad item (especially with Vayne's range), but a lot of her early teamfight damage is in bolts and Tumble, so Goatblade is very nice on her early. Plus it has a nicer build path, and BotRK's passive isnt going to do much early vs. early initiator junglers/top laners with armor runes (I assume thats still a jungle thing) instead of globs of health.

Goatblade is my favorite rush item, really opens up your mid-game power spike.

Also, Hexakill is really fun and shows off the best aspects of the TT map. Play Shaco and buy all the burst items.

Stealth tumble outplays are pretty sweet when you're lucky and there's no scanners or pinks to thwart your plans.

I'm currently a Dragon Form/Statue Form Grey Draconian of Chei. Smashing my way through the game, got my first rune off Swamp.

While exploring Lair, I Acquired a necklace: Frail, Dismissal, F++, C+, N+. Never taking it off because it is both great and I don't wanna lose it. I've had a couple characters die to the Lernaean Hydra, so I panicked when I ran into it.

Made a judgement call and decided to go Statue Form since my super high AC would mean having to worry less about it killing my slow rear end self.

What I quickly learned is that it swinging 27 times per hit means that it basically has zero chance of not triggering Dismissal each time it chomps at me... so I got away with the rune, with Lerny constantly bumping into me, swinging, then poofing to some other place in the map.

Thank you crawl devs, for adding obscure solutions to scary problems.

I like Tahm a lot and want to play him a lot, I just don't think he's good enough to want to pick in any role regularly. He was maybe a bit too strong on release but he's just overnerfed now. He's good in very specific competitive league comps, but his strengths really don't shine well in solo queue gameplay.

He's quite possibly the most powerful counterpick in lane to Thresh. Every single time your stupid rear end ADC eats a hook, eat them, walk off with them. They did beat him down with too many nerfs though. I'd love to see him viable as a jungler again because it was really a blast playing a tank that could output decent hurt. I mean I guess Sejuani is doing that currently but it's way more fun being a catfish frog southern gentleman.
