you can literally run every keystone on udyr and get use out of it. That being said, phase rush full AP udyr looks really fun. The movespeed is incredible and your turtle shields are pretty large, plus the 45% cdr build lets you double stack the turtle shields.

Evelynn is very strong, well, compared to all the broken poo poo in this patch, it may not seem so, but if her current numbers stay unchanged until the season begins, she will be very strong. The key to her is pathing, you need to know who you're playing against so you don't get cheesed early as she's one of the easiest champions to scare out of a buff, you also need to carefully plan your ganks so that you have plenty of open space to catch someone with before level 6. Empowered E follows people through blinks and dashes if you time it well, also you can use Q while doing it, that way you get a guaranteed mark on them so you can mash Q and be sure it will hit. The health regen from your passive is absurd, keep it in mind in fights. The second you hit 6, the game just radically changes for you and you should actively just try to kill people every single time your ult is up. You don't even need your ult, your stealth and W mindgames are good enough to keep anyone on their feet, they'll run away if you curse them guaranteed, and since the range is gigantic you can just use it just to gently caress with people. If you can get some momentum, you will snowball, because every bit of AP on Evelynn turns her into a murder machine. Her ult is flat out one of the best in the game, the combination of execute with high ratios and base damage, that also makes you untargetable, that also blinks you 50% farther than a flash, that also puts you back in stealth makes you a huge threat to any squishies, and anybody surrounding them. Itemization is Runic Echoes and Sorc Boots (prioritize them if you get a kill early), with a Hunter's Potion thrown in there to keep your mana replenished while you farm. Follow it up for a Lich Bane for the best burst, Protobelt for extra AoE in teamfights or Zhonya's if you're getting focused, top it up with a Liandry's and finish off with Rabadon's or Void Staff depending on how soft your targets are. Runes are Domination/Sorcery, with Electrocute (which you proc very easily with Q, each hit counting as a spellcast), Sudden Impact, Eyeball Collection, Relentless Hunter, Ultimate Hat and Celerity.

Encountered my first bug this patch- was playing as Teemo with Aery and got a kill at around 8 minutes; Aery didn't come back until I died and respawned. At first I thought maybe the enemy TP'd away and then died and Aery was just taking forever to come back across the map. Waited until about 15 minutes then killed myself at dragon to see if Aery would reappear after I respawned

I renamed one of my runepages after modifying it a bit at the champ select screen and that seemed to freak out the game a bit but not sure if that's new or not because beforehand I just had 12 different mastery sets to choose from not 4 I have to gently caress around with constantly.

will smith is one of the best rappers of all time so lets talk about thresh. his winrate has actually been steadily going up, near 50% in general and his winrate goes up dramatically with games played... on the most played support(!! very important missed edit) champion right now. what are your favourite keystones to take on thresh?

I do hope they do some further Armor adjustments and maybe tone down Lethality a little bit because having to rush Ninja Tabi 100% of the time in every single game against MF in bot so that I don't instantly die if I misposition once is tiresome.

So, to those that follow the devs, has there been any word on whether they like the preseason bursty nature of the game as-is or do they think people are a little squishier then they would like right now. I'm finding when I'm playing damage dealers, I'm tossing my ult into the wind half the time because my target ended up getting 100% 0% from a regular rotation and I'm still on the last patch damage mindset and think I needed it to kill.

Usually if it hits the front page of Reddit they'll address things, but I think they're still trying to suck people in right now with a priority on the new essence system that this season is going to be broke as gently caress until around March e: I knew people personally that worked on the balance team that quit because they were over-worked and nobody listened to them anyway so yah RealFoxy fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Nov 18, 2017 |

Zyra with Aery, Scorch and Cheap Shot is awesome... Not sure about Mana Band vs. Hat but I don't normally have much CDR as Zyra so any extra is welcome and mana issues go away before too long - all up to how long you think the game will go/if you can poke them out in lane (you can).

They've traditionally ignored their balance team and shipped out bad patched for years now. As much as Methanar and I might want you to think Udyr is freelo, he's not. He does come in the top 10 best-performing junglers right now, but not nearly as highly performing as Rammus/Xin/Shyv who are all tearing it up with at or approaching 55% win rates. That said, the new rune system definitely favors traditional attack speed junglers who kick off fast clears into strong ganks (Udyr/Xin) or who can just power-farm even harder (Shyvana). The inherent buffs to Rammus alongside this, as well as Aftershock, are really pushing him over the top as a go-to jungler as well: he gets insanely strong mid-gank thanks to Aftershock + W, and his clear is actually a bit faster now.

Edit: forgot to quote Thresh post It’s definitely Aftershock. Thresh’s big weakness has always been to bite off more than he can chew, in terms of engaging fights without the necessary tankiness to survive getting focused for more than half a second, so getting Leona W is just perfect for him.

I tried Rammus in a couple norms after getting tipped that he’s absurd right now, and folks... he is. Tanks who don’t build any damage st all should not be able to trivially 1v2 and kill an ADC when they’re not even ahead.

The ranked season is over, but ranked remains open for people to play in during preseason because some people will not play outside ranked (similar to how Overwatch keeps competitive mode open between seasons because people would otherwise just stop playing). You're not going to get any more rewards for ranking up though as those have already gone out, but it is a way to improve your potential starting rank for the next season.

Yeah, it's really good. I'm having a hard time deciding between Aery and Comet -- I feel like the latter scales better into late, and actually has a pretty quick cd because you can refresh it so quickly, but the former's probably a better laning mastery. My instinct is that mana band is also more of a laning mastery, but idk. Either way, she feels great to play now - everyone's so squishy, and Zyra's always been one of those champs where you can die and still do your job/get a bunch of kills. I feel like cheap shot wasn't doing quite as much damage as I'd hope (although still a good bit), but given you almost certainly want Zombie Ward it does seem like the best option. Zyra owns and everyone should play her~

Honestly, the biggest reason to pick up Zombie Ward is that it dramatically extends the duration of your river trinket wards, since they'll leave behind a Zombie Ward when they die. You can continually force your opponents under turret and have basically perfect vision coverage unless the jungler roams down, kills the ward, then comes back for a second gank attempt.

Yeah, I've been thinking about switching to Zombie Ward over Eyeball collection a lot because Eyeball just doesn't give enough stats to be worth it, and vision is worth a thousand words. I'm gonna try that out later tonight. Also Press the Attack Ashe is really good and very fun and unless someone gets really, stupidly tanky early you can basically go without a tank shredder item and even double up on lifesteal if you want for maximum stupidity.

RealFoxy posted:It isn't really a couple gimmick posters, anyone who is either good at Udyr or good at the Udyr playstyle are dominating right now. There's a reason why all of a sudden Trick2G is going heavy on solo queue again, and it's because split pushers are able to get away with their same bullshit they haven't been able to do for two years now and I guess people have just forgotten how to play against them. Doesn't hurt that there's barely any wrong way to build a split-pusher right now and tank junglers aren't bad either. This is the short form of “aggressive junglers.” And yes, that is true. Udyr, Xin, Warwick, and Shyv are all great at doing then 2-buff invade plan. Assuming you get the kill and steal at this juncture, as well, you can turn it into a ton of pressure on the opposing jungle, which translates into a lack of enemy jungle pressure on lanes. As had always been the case, junglers can and do exert a lot of control on the game.
