Also if you can't land corrosive cloud you can't nail people with prey seekers and his already anemic DPS takes a hit. I actually played a lot of Urgot last season but this was when everybody was TPing in to bot lane and Urgot ult was really amazing versus Hecarim. I mean it still is but you aren't likely to run in to that interaction these days

I have done jungle Zilean to great effect!!! Except that one game where I forgot to set my masteries. That was painful. I trained for it by taking smite on Zilean mid, and I was ready for the transition.

I once carried a game as no masteries Singed top and I feel like that's next level Singed and essentially nobody else is on my level.

I think you mean the people who see Kogmaw jungle and get dumpstered at his first buff because they think they're hot poo poo as Lee Sin or some scrub character who can counterjungle him.

I am pretty sure if Lee shows up at Kog's red and autos him without moving or hitting a skill shot he'll just kill him 100% of the time.

The IE passive isn't good enough to complete it as the very first item for typical IE ADCs, its better to buy the BF sword then finish the zeal item then finish the IE. Without investigating how his goofy passive interacts with itemization I don't know what the best path is but that passive almost definitely isn't worthwhile on him as a first complete item either.

Wow I had no idea Rumble's winrate had plummeted so bad since I played last -- 44%?? That's really bad, and it only gets up to like 51% with tons of games played.

Is that just because of the ulti CD nerfs? He hasn't been nerfed otherwise has he?

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.

In bronze I think you just ban the easier to play high winrate champs, especially if they're tanky. I bet Malphite would be the strongest bronze champ atm. Junglers who do well with farm seem pretty good too, since people CS worse down there. I think that's why Master Yi has had a reign of terror for so long

I don't know what the patch notes say at all but the way Alistar W works is that it actually queues up the action but the skill won't fire until you're in range. Presumably this means you can just mash W-Q and neither skill will fire off until you're in range?

Firebert posted:

I'm not sure if the Alistar change is good or bad. For balancing's sake it's good that the combo is more or less guaranteed across all elo/latencies. It's kinda bad though because making it work consistently removes pretty much the only mechanically interesting aspect of the champion.

There was nothing mechanically interesting about the combo being gated off by your ping/latency tho. It was like "is my ping low enough to do this? y/n"

I guess if you literally didn't know how to do it properly, but that won't make it easier to do now either.

How can I get SSW Thresh?

Also, I'm really enjoying Lucian and doing pretty well with him, and I'm working on learning Ez in normal draft. Heimerdonger makes for a fun top experience if I end up getting top instead of ADC. What are the reasons to be Ez vs Lucian? I really don't know poo poo about comps and conterpicking.

It's fun to play Ezreal, you get to hit the Q button a lot. In China they call him Little Yellow Feather. People will get mad at you for picking Ezreal a lot of times. You get to buy different items than you normally do while playing ADC.

These are all reasons to play Ezreal over Lucian. Lucian is a much smarter champion to play as he is easier and still very strong. Lucian hits Q a moderate amount. In China they call Lucian the much less appropriate name of Double Gun Obama. People rarely get mad about having a Lucian on their team.

I seriously don't get Kalista for poo poo.

It is a torture to try to learn her too. I'm used to Ez at the moment and I can't last hit for poo poo on her. Annnnd it feels like I deal no damage in trades, annnd if anyone gets aggressive at me I die because no escapes. Annnd I'm basically useless until I can get a Hurricane/BOTRK

Can someone who plays her tell me how to loving do it? It's driving me up the wall but I refuse to give up.

Kalista is an AA based champion who has to trade around her opponents CDs/situations where she can make extended trades. I don't know why you can't CS on her, I guess you should practice CSing.
