THESE RUNE PAGES WILL PROBABLY HELP YOU IF YOU STARTED PLAYING
AD:

Attack Damage Reds / Armor Yellows / Magic Resist (Flat or Scaling) Blues / Attack Damage Quintessences
This is ideal for your Marksmen, AD Bruisers top, a variety of Junglers, and Supports. Anything that emphasizes hitting harder with your auto attacks or physical damage spells will use this well.

AP:

Magic Penetration Reds / Armor Yellows / Magic Resist (Flat or Scaling) Blues / Ability Power Quintessences
Ideal for casters of virtually any type, these gives you a fair bit of penetration for your spells, defenses, and a bit of Ability Power to scale your magic damage spells early on.

There are many, many more runes that you can use. Marksmen and some bruisers utilize life steal quints, some Junglers use attack speed reds, and movespeed quints are incredibly valuable for all classes. These two are very very basic starter sets that will get you decently far along. However if you want to go in depth, the below link goes a bit more into detail about masteries and different runes.

I've played him a bunch since the changes. The passive duration is much more noticeable than I expected, as is the ultimate nerf (which shaves off ~15-20 damage from AAs and Q/W at 6). Dude feels pretty miserable to play now. Didn't think the changes were going to be as high impact as they are.

Yeah, figured they were gonna nerf the gently caress out of him and relegate him to support only. I hope maybe they'll undo some of it a little but I ain't holding my breath.

Yeah that skin looks incredible. I'll have to try him a few times before, but it's one of the rare cases in many champions released where the base skin is inferior to the one they are released with.

It's a GypsyLord champion. Aside from Gnar (which was a collaboration), he has yet to make a champion that actually goes in the lane he intended for them. Mid-lane AP Assassin Ekko's strongest play/build path for the longest time was as a loving tanky jungler.

Jinx and Vi weren't intended to be jungle and adc respectively?????

Very first game initial take on Jhin: really fun, great teamplayer, put him in a lane with locktown people, dies horribly when engaged on and has little or no response to it whatsoever, hits very very hard on squishy targets but struggles against tanky ones.

Will totally buy High Noon as well

I think Caitlyn is supposed to have a relatively simple ult. Plenty of playmaking in an ability that forces your opponent and their teammates react.

That being said Jhin totally does the sniper fantasy better. Maybe they should go back and make her gun an assault rifle? Makes more sense.

He is an excellent bully in lane, has ranged harass that isn't some conditional bullshit, etc etc.

He's been great toplane in solo queue because he shits on most opponents early and can translate that into ganks bot or mid and objectives, and despite "falling off a cliff" a pantheon several items in will kill priority targets like adcs and mages with ease

He has been good for afew seasons now, falling off a cliff is more like walking off a step with the itemization these days, he can still pack a punch because there aren't any early game items with no good build paths and he can absolutely melt armor with most of the new items.

He used to fall off because brutalizer didn't build into anything useful and black cleaver wasn't reworked yet and there wasn't any ADcaster items he could capitalize on like today.

Take new ghostblade for example, no longer has wasted crit and 4 longswords was basically pantheons entire early game build and now it actually builds into something useful

Personally I rushed Hydra all the time but since it's cost is hysterically high and Tiamat itself is awful I guess I can try ghostblade. I still hate the loving active though

Transient People posted:

Hey Serv, on a scale from 1 to 10, how bullshit is pantheon gonna be when the new duskblade item drops? It seems realllllllllllllllly good on him.

Assuming I saw that it's a baby Zed ult on every x minutes it'll be one more thing that makes him exceptionally good at blowing up squishies.

I'd have to look at the stats and poo poo once I get home but I'd say it might be crowding up what he generally needs to be effective. Maybe a replacement for ghostblade?

It's Jhin actually complete garbage or are people just bad at him because he's a weird character (his winrate is abysmal)

More importantly, if he's terrible is he so bad it's not even fun

He's really fun, explodes if someone gets on top of him. His winrate is terrible for multiple reasons:
A) He's brand new
B) He has to reload to shoot
C) He's brand new
D) Really fragile
E) He's brand new

I feel that this new item might just extend Pantheon's window of usefulness in longer games.

Eh. I think it's a fine item but on Pantheon there's likely better things to pick up. Like I said when asked about it before, full items in he's still able to kill fragile targets. It seems like overkill.

Dominion going down means jack squat for Skarner. He's not from the Crystal Scar, he's guarding a tomb in Shurima. So he probably isn't even sentient, much less aware of if he even has a kind to miss and drat sure doesn't know what the hell a Crystal Scar is much less why it is weeping all the time

Gonna get the 1-2-3 treatment for Udyr probably. Nerf his skills, nerf his items, maybe nerf his skin effects as well just to really gently caress him up.

Runic Echoes was loving stupid on Udyr anyways, he'll be fine

and provided they never remove the Urf sound clipping on Spirit Guard Udyr, he'll truly be safe

Nerfing Runic Echoes' move-speed by 3% is a good call. The nerfs to Udyr won't make him any less good (depending on how much they hurt early level bases).

Looks like 5 points of shield and damage per rank of turtle/phoenix respectively--doesn't seem like that significant of a deal on either end

Is Rumble jungle a thing because they removed the damage reduction on flamespitter? I mean a danger zone'd Rumble + mini Ludens hurts like hell but that's all I can figure as to why I've seen two of them now. It's kinda annoying as hell.

It was played in Korea, it got popular elsewhere. The idea is that his clear is so good now and his ultimate is on such a low cooldown that he's got pretty strong ganks all game and does a decent amount of damage, too.

Yeah. I swore that Flamespitter had massive penalties to monsters and minions and maybe they removed it, which explains the extremely effective clear

it's been at least a good year or so since i played Rumble consistently though but I'm like so very sure there was a penalty associated

In addition to some of the stuff people has said, I'm gonna assume everyone in here is a grown rear end adult so the whole notion of tilting is ridiculous. It's super prevalent when you go down the tiers where people get super pissed off about everything and anything, so keeping a cool head on your shoulders is also a good way to improve.

I think the new last whisper is the third item after ie and rfc. He hits tanks pretty loving hard when he's able to fire four shots.

In terms of general play I dunno. I find myself on the fringe of teamfights, throwing out roots and taking potshots at the closest thing to me. It helps a bunch to have a constant auto attacker on the team to keep being a threat while you land super high damage but in bursts.
