there's people right now that enjoys playing adcs.

I always enjoy the first five minutes of playing ADC immensely. Then I get a kill in lane, push up to bully the other guy off their Tower and then the teleport animation starts behind me. There's just enough time to wonder "what fresh hell is this" before the Jax/Fiora/whatever pops out and eats my face, signalling that my time of enjoying the game is now over

Wait a minute did they fountain dive or something? How did this adc get a kill and a half before buying starting items?

Cheesy invade with a 5stack and not buying anything at 00:00 because he was expecting to pick up a couple kills, would be my guess

thats how far

I've been playing a lot of Fiora lately on my gold smurf and honestly, the only reason I even run TP on her is for the lategame homeguard TP ganks on the enemy ADC who has the balls to try to go clear a wave in a sidelane. You can just TP directly onto the minion they're trying to kill and run them down and kill them without them having any chance of doing anything about it.

And finally, to cap off my bad post trifecta, I feel fully vindicated in my Jhin = Varus observation as those two champions have been inexorably linked in pro play teamcomps for a couple of weeks now, across several regions

seizure later posted:

Jhin's laning phase requires you to bully the opponent by being up in their face and landing Dancing Grenade's on the enemy until they can't be near the creep wave. this requires you to play very forward and in mid lane you will die a lot.

Varus just sits back and farms until he does enough damage to poke people out from a very safe position. they are not analogous at all.

And yet they're filling the exact same roles (roles as in tasks rather than positions on the map) and get picked on the exact same comps in pro play. They supplement eachother well because they supply fundamentally similar things to a team: zone control, long-range CC and physical damage poke. Varus is a better opener and Jhin is a better closer and they have different power spikes, but the Jhin/Varus/Gragas comp will only get more common until one of the three (probably Jhin) eats a nerf.

I just full-on KS'd a penta from some random in a ranked game. We won a fight in their base after taking their inhib down, so the game was all but over. He'd gotten 4 kills and only the enemy support was left. There was no way the support was getting away. Good/Bad thing to do?

I still feel like adding pure solo queue will do more harm than good at this point. The playerbase would be so fractured. And I mean, how would dynamic queue work with 4 player teams? Would they be at the mercy of a random dude accidentally clicking the wrong queue?

itsjustdrew posted:

When he uses this build he goes more for health than AP, so yes, that's the logic. He also gets ZZrot which I believe I'm correct in saying also scales off health.

This seems stupid. Even if ZZRot gives comparable EHP to a health item (which it probably won't, because most health items have high EHP, especially early in the game), the damage portion of Grasp only scales with HP, not EHP.

E: I have a fever and misread the quoted post as "gets ZZrot first" so my scolding is mostly in relation to that. It's still a dumb gimmick though, and I stand by the shitbird assertion.

Thank you! Yeah ZZ'rot is generally still strong, I only meant in relation to Grasp, where ZZ'rot does nothing for the damage of Grasp, which might make Grasp less competitive with things like Thunderlords on someone like Heimer.

Fiora isn't banned anymore and she's pretty much universally fine against tanks. She's a slight underdog against Ekko, Poppy (pre-nerf more than now) and Malphite but goes even or better against every other tank. It's definitely worth learning to play Fiora right now, despite the nerfs.

E: Don't pick Fiora into Pantheon or Tryndamere though, it loving sucks. Yasuo can also be bad, if you get one of those weird Yasuo whisperers.

Aurelion Sol is just a big dumb flying Sunfire Cape isn't he. Like, that's all he does. He's a movable Sunfire Cape with ridiculous numbers to compensate. It's like S5 Worlds Mordekaiser where they designed a dumb champion so they cranked the numbers up to 11 to compensate
