He probably just needs a couple post-release QOL buffs. It's not like Azir where it's still impossible to balance him a year later. I've seen him be pretty drat effective with the right support botlane (much less so mid, and I don't think he's good there.) His main trouble is he takes turrets soooooooooooooooooooo slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwly. Even if your team wins a fight he gets half the objectives a normal ADC would be able to off the back of it.

Ward debris spawns when a ward dies so if you're paying attention you can tell when an enemy ward expires and can relay that information to your jungler or roaming mid. "River ward's down" is useful info to pass along. Especially since they will likely move up to replace it which leaves them open to getting murdered if your guys move quick.

Yeah by the elo people can reliably dodge hooks that are derp-fired at them the Blitz player should be good enough to abuse terrain and fog of war to force people into flash-or-die situations pretty reliably. He's even played in competitive (rarely) as a niche-pick.

There's two primary things to do with ZZ'rot. The first is defensive. Drop it in a lane you don't think anyone's going to go to for a while, so like, drop it botlane if you want to Baron dance. It will autopush the lane FOR YOU so that the other team has to send someone back to clean up, don't put it forward of the river generally or it'll just get killed. If you have an inhibitor down, put it behind the downed inhibitor and it will defend the lane from superminions. The second is offensive. When you are pushing a tower, put it behind you and it'll poop out minions that will help you take the tower. Simple, easy, but if you stop pushing it'll get instantly killed, so make sure it's a solid push.

I got a Red post to say they are planning to do something for Taric similar to Fiora where there was a new skin soon after his relaunch whenever that is, so I have hope. Really the sad thing is that Sion hasn't gotten any skins since his rework, but I think Sion is also the champion who is least played with a skin in the game. Which makes some sense to me because his base model is really drat good.

kingcobweb posted:I played more Willump than anyone in this thread I'm pretty sure and I've entirely abandoned the champ. His objective control is close to worthless right now Is it just because the neutral objectives are worthless right now and the game is too short for the lead you get from them to matter because I love the yeti and I feel the same way.  e: Why yes Rito, I will take that free mecha ward, thanks! You can keep Special Forces Gangplank though.

I think there's just a definitely point of no return where a game is absolutely hosed, and people on your team are demoralized to point where they're just farming minions in a sidelane and not trying anymore. That's when you surrender, because you ain't winning with a demoralized team. Especially if the enemy team is deliberately styling on you, because that's just going to tilt you for the next game. If your team is 0-15 and still actively trying to win, and making the plays they can, and chipping away at the enemy lead, then you should play that poo poo out.

I think it's just calculating the money based on RP spent, it doesn't seem to know how you got that RP. So it's probably not taking the coke points or free RP bonus points you get from large RP purchases or RP bonus sales into account. It's definitely overestimating what I've spent on it by a couple hundred, at least.

I feel like Test of Faith is kind of the lovely part of Illaoi's kit and it needs some work to make it more usable. Right now it creates a target dummy that basically baits your entire team into getting engaged on instead of being an actual threat to the enemy team. The debuff is annoying because it lasts much longer than it needs to but it doesn't actually give Illaoi any benefit for lasting that long. Cut the debuff duration significantly and make it more powerful up front and she'd probably be in a pretty good spot. Also I feel like you shouldn't be able to creep block it because literally every other ghost tentacle can go through minions just fine, and landing it right now is too hard for the benefit it gives. Also I've heard that the target dummy gets doubled resistances which is why it's literally impossible to kill it if you accidentally pull a tank's soul. That thing should be pretty easy to kill regardless of who you pull, and right now if you didn't get a carry you might as well just ignore it. That's kinda bad. Giving her a stun really isn't necessary, cleaning up her E and making it feel good would be fine.

Gridlocked posted:Is Tham Kench just bad now? Tahm's overnerfed, but he's one of those champs who will always be either broken or overnerfed. Kindred is a squishy finicky champion who has trouble fitting into most groups. Brad is awesome. Buy Brad. You will hate Brad for like 10 games because everything you do is wrong, then you will love Brad forever. He's weird but he's balanced and once his kit 'clicks' with you it's really, really good. Also his base and skins are all good.

slydingdoor posted:Yeah I was unclear. First shutdown's 300 kill 150 assist 450 team so 900 total. Then the second's 300 kill 150 assist 150 team for 600 total. Sum 1500. Thornmail's just not really a good item on supports and there's not much else to say about it. Maybe on a leona or braum as a last item if they're really fed but even then it's kinda questionable. You're better off with components that have CDR on them like a glacial shroud because they give you more hooks and flays. Even if it's not a completed item it's still more useful to you than the thornmail would be, because as a support you're not "tanking" damage for long periods of time. You're either being ignored or being focused and dying within 2-3 seconds. Thornmail's efficient on beefy characters like rammus or poppy who have things on their kit that let them survive longer so the thornmail has more time to work, even while being focused they'll take 7-10 seconds to kill, more than double the length of time it will ever take to kill any support. Kindlegems, codexes, and glacial shrouds are amazingly good buys in the midgame, don't think they aren't because they're components instead of completed items.

We'll just have to see.

It may not make you feel better Door Frame but the ten-cent art is meant as a temporary bandaid while they actually do new art because a lot of the old art was either bad or traced or both. "temporary" of course, is gonna take a while given the whole 100 champion roster thing, but the plan isn't to keep the bad deviant-art splashes forever. oh what the gently caress why'd they ruin Groovy Zilean this is a travesty. mistaya fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Apr 6, 2016 |

The slow is real good and I say this as a player who detests anyone who plays blue Ezreal. SKT Azir should be sweet, especially if they make it a not-cheapo skin. Only Elise actually looked cool out of the rest of them, which is sad because SSW's skins were all great.

 There was so much salt in post game. We were down 30 (160 to 190) and clinched it with two aces and some good capping. Ascension is my favorite game mode.

slydingdoor posted:Build defensive items like warmogs on Soraka when the enemy team actually smartly tries to kill you in ways that are difficult to outplay. If it's not like that--you can kite them out or your team pokes and their team doesn't, etc.--build a bunch of AP or utility items and coast to victory with your top tier WR top tier BR champion. If it is one of those games--their team pokes well, they have assassins you can't outplay or outward, they have a ton of aoe, etc.--go ahead and build warmogs or GA or whatever you need to stay alive and be Soraka, and carefully coast to victory. This is all good, but I'll add that if you're getting focused out as Soraka you generally want to build to counter whichever diver is catching you out since it's probably the same guy consistently doing it. Leblanc going from 1-shotting me in a round of cooldowns/ignite to failing to do it at around 25-mins has won me a bunch of games, thanks to my best friend ZZ'rot portal.

URF... really isn't all that fun. It's just whoever gets more of: Fizz, Alistair, Malzahar, and Maokai. Which is not to say your team couldn't have got them too, but your team is going to inexplicably get Heimerdinger, Vayne, and Illaoi 5 times in a row instead. Bring back Ascension.

Morgana also shuts down the CC from a lot of those reworked mages, which are gonna be very popular.  I honestly haven't felt much of a desire to play for the last couple months. This season just hasn't been any fun, I'm hoping the mage update will help a bit.

Trip report: New Zyra feels really drat good. It was hard to tell if it's an overall buff or nerf based on the one game I played but she just feels really smooth to play now. The base movespeed buff is noticeable, especially in the early lane phase, and the plant spawning passive makes her level 1 a lot safer. I was surprised how quickly they start spawning as the game goes on, and the spawn radius is forgiving. It means you always have a couple enraged plants going in her ultimate, too, which isn't always easy to do with just your W plants. Still feels like Zyra, but more plants. Plants everywhere. Yay for plants!

SaffronKit posted:I am unsurprised at A. Sol being at 56% winrate, the patch has done wonders for his itemization. You can actually cap your CDR without having to get morelleo/athenes now. Also the GLP is reallllly good, way better than RoA for him. So what exactly DO you build on Sol? He's such a weird champion but I'm addicted to playing him in the weekend fun-modes. Also 56% win rate and 1% play rate on a brand new champion, that's kind of sad.

It is a sham, and a scam, since they didn't implement the IP buy thing but released it with an RP-alternative available. I've opened like 5 boxes with the keys I've gotten through play and never gotten a single champion shard, and I got my two S-ranks on Janna this morning, so those tokens are just gonna sit there until they give the IP buyable item. Kinda sad.
