This game was a lesson in how not to build end-game Lux and I apologize: I think there are two obvious mistakes with this build, can you spot them? My take: Athene's should have been Morellonomicon against all those tanks, and Zhonya's probably should have gotten swapped for LIandry's.

Mottie posted:The reason we lost that game was because I have no idea how to team fight or deal with tanks diving me properly and the one diana q I ate in 55 minutes deleted me. It was still a good game through I made so many big mistakes. I basically died twice for literally no reason, including one Jinx rocket that I easily could have dodged and one braindead moment of walking up to dragon while the enemy team was doing it, again for basically no reason (I thought I was going to steal it or something, which was dumb because we had no vision).

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Your mistake was not getting Ludens echo, a great Lux item for mobility, waveclear and bursting people you catch and that Frostfang and Grail are a either-or thing, you don't take both, if you have maximum gold you can sell frostfang for a 20% CDR mana item, your only real threat on the enemy team is diana and and naut jumping into your face at the same time, you can kite everyone else and both of those could be completely neutralized by getting a banshee which none of them would be able to pop so Naut would never be able to ult you. I actually had luden's until the lategame, when I sold it for... void I think? I agree that Athene's + FF is probably too much mana regen. Maybe I should have kept the luden's, too.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Just me, or does Jhin seem to be born out of what they wanted a sniper like Cait to be? basically trade netshot for bouncing grenade and you have a very similar set of skills and much improved Sniper ult, traps, long range skill shot. Yeah, it's the good version of a sniper. Also, I think it's so cute that Riot thinks he will be in the bot lane.

Don't know what the stats look like, but the Rengar nerfs seem pretty big to me. Your early clear is way worse now. The changes to his Q incentivize getting AD but I think bruiser Rengar (a mix of AD and tank but more to the tank side) may be a better build now. Anyways, it's bad. e: AD game, pretty painful: Bruiser game, much better but my lanes also owned so maybe not representative: Sexpansion fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Feb 2, 2016 |

rabidsquid posted:Just the ultimate CD nerf, but he indirectly got nerfed by all of the juggernaut itemization being so strong and mage itemization changes didn't do anything to help him. He just can't really bully a lot of the dudes dicking around in top lane anymore and he ate a nerf so he's just really far out of the meta. Not to mention that teamfights around dragon have been completely disincentivized, so his early teamfight power is mostly useless now.

Primetime posted:It's 4% attack speed late game, but actually slows his ramp up so he can't just press Q and get to full pace right away. Probably sets him even end of the day I like that, his identity as a late game hyper-carry melee is one of the few things that actually distinguishes him in any way.

Tales of Woe posted:Gragas is one of those champs that's either garbage in solo q or 100% pick/ban in competitive, not really sure how they can break the cycle on him though. it sucks since he's a fun champ without any real BS in his kit but has to stay undertuned forever This seems true. He's such a strong jungler when his numbers aren't garbage since he has basically everything you could want - tanky, mobility, excellent engage AND disengage, etc.

Gridlocked posted:Had a rough game that we ended up losing last night where opposing botlane was a Jhin/Vel duo. If you got struck by the Vel ult you could almost guarantee you were about to get Jhin stunned and ulted. Velkoz totally shits on anyone who can't dodge skillshots and has really good numbers.

Mikujin posted:I don't know that jungle is 2nd most preferred. I'd say mid is the mostly highly, then I'd wager a toss-up between top and ADC. Somebody looked at all the pick priorities and yes, jungle is actually the 2nd most prioritized role (or was, anyways). Also, ZZTop portal is really good if just for the stats alone. I didn't win this match because it was a 4 v 5 for the last twenty minutes or so, but I built it and I'm still impressed with how much it does: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2091686748/38198234 We nearly won this game due to the crazy pushing advantage it gave (although to be honest my team squandered it by getting caught out and by not getting Baron when we should have but w/e) Sexpansion fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Feb 8, 2016 |

Elpato posted:You're so quick to assume I'm a selfish player. My main supports are Bard and Nami. I'm almost always queued as ______ and support, because I like the role so much. I'm generally a big nuisance/rear end in a top hat to my opponents in the form of poke and CC while never taking CS or trying to "carry" as you put it. However, I decided to take my "be a dick to the enemy lane" one step further and just burn it all down. Lux has been super successful at doing so. I always get at least two support items (such as sightstone and frost queen's), and I never try to dick my carry over. I'm not shy about getting kills when they're uncertain though. I have no problem with playing selfish support mages in low elo soloqueue. Try Brand and Morgana (my favorite) too. Also, I prefer Eye of the Watchers over Frostqueen's now that it got nerfed, try it out. It's very good.

blah_blah posted:mid lane Morg Yeah, this is absolutely correct and pretty good build advice. I tried a game without FQC last night and the utility is still too high, even with the nerfs. Marvin the force is not bad right now: This whole game was basically a slow strangling until I hit the point where I could reliably blow up Vayne in about a half second. e: Also that Ashe that nearly owned us last night was diamond.

Verviticus posted:j4 was my go-to last season because he had basically the most undeniable assassination in the game if you wanted to pop an AD carry but the popular laners now (malphite/tahm/fiora/poppy) all make his life loving miserable. irelia/jax/renekton/shyv of yesteryear were a little more even. also hydra and tiamat loving suck to build as laning items Yeah, I don't think he's a very good toplaner anymore. He only works as a midlaner in some matchups. I would build yommuu's first (unless you want hexdrinker). So something like yoomu's/hexdrinker/cdr boots/one defensive item (armor or MR + CDR)/infinity edge/triforce or something like that. You're right that you have to blow people up immediately or it's a useless champion right now. The new AD assassin item might be good on him next patch.

Triforce, Duskblade, rageblade, and maw all seem really good but I feel like there needs to be an AS and maybe tanky item in there somewhere early. I don't think you need duskblade. I would say triforce + rageblade + tank is what you want, but maybe I'm discounting the strength of the new item.
