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

Magres posted:It's Jhin actually complete garbage or are people just bad at him because he's a weird character (his winrate is abysmal) His win rate is the same as new poppy's win rate was on release. win rates aren't useful for a patch or 2 after a release/rework since almost no one who's playing the champ knows how to.

this is the worst top lane meta in solo queue right now, everyone only plays anti-melee champs. i welcome a patch or 2 of broken assassins if it means I get to farm during laning phase

Sexpansion posted:Somebody looked at all the pick priorities and yes, jungle is actually the 2nd most prioritized role (or was, anyways). top and jungle definitely switch around in popularity depending on how good the melee carry junglers (E.g. Udyr, Yi, etc) are. Right now they're very good.

Does the crit mechanic make warrior xin as viable as devourer again? People used to give me poo poo for building warrior but i really freaking hate farming out devourer on a champ that's strong during the first 20 minutes

While we're on the topic of jungle gripes, I'm still furious that they found the solution to making feral flare/devourer not reward lovely afk farming from 10 to 20 minutes (not giving it a huge discrete power spike at x number of stacks) and then went back on it 6 months later. Between that item being omnipresent, rageblade, and multiple ADC comps, there's so much sustained damage in the game now that building defensive items without a solo lane gold budget feels futile

Yi currently has a 53% winrate in high elo (plat+), that's just about the best he's ever been post-rework other than the broken feral flare patch. Not exactly 'fallen off'

the absurd mana regen on blue buff is the sort of thing that's been in the game for so long that people don't even stop to think about 'why is this allowed to exist' the mana system in this game is all over the place though, you have these old champs like Galio and Yorick that can't fight for more than 5 seconds without building a dedicated mana item, and you have other champs like Lulu and Fiora that 'have' mana but don't really seem to run out via their normal laning patterns edit: i did some additional research and apparently Lulu has 11 base mana regen at level 1 instead of the 6 that mages get because she's a 'support', so now that Doran's Ring gives 50% base instead of flat, solo lane Lulu just gets way more from her Doran's Ring than champs that were intended to be mages.

Bronze is kind of a mess for the first month or 2 of the season when you can get people who were silver or gold last season and haven't gotten around to climbing back up again going against people who just started playing. there will be games where your bot lane duo goes 0-10 by 10 minutes and you're being repeatedly killed by a 3 item kalista under your inhibitor tower before 20 and you need to just shrug those ones off as unwinnable and keep your own play consistent and in the long run you'll win more than you lose.

I'm basically a Vi main ever since they hosed up Skarner and she's still fine right now, not sure why the winrate is down other than her not being a devourer jungler (you can play her as one but it's not really using her optimally).

a medical mystery posted:One possibility is that heal & shield team supports like Soraka, Lulu and Karma are starting to see a lot of play and they stifle her diving capacity significantly The secret to teamfighting on Vi is that you're allowed to use your abilities to peel rather than to dive if the situation calls for it. Your teammates will rage at you for 'focusing the tank' but they'll also be slightly more alive. Though really if you're vs champs like those you'd prefer to split the map and not 5v5 at all

"FOTM broken" champs don't matter below like diamond. you can pick your way out of victory in low elo games by picking like ryze or nidalee or lee sin, but you can't pick your way into free wins since the best champs are still only 55%

rabidsquid posted:Also I think I am still in season 5 as I have gotten 4 and 5 man ganked bot lane during laning phase several times in the past few days. Even after the tp nerf it's still not clear that there's enough reason to take a combat summoner instead of tp in solo lanes when you can feast on those juicy underleveled bot laners when they overextend. It's kind of a top level design problem with having a duo lane, or having a TP summoner spell. K8.0 posted:gently caress that. At low elo people are absolutely retarded and will happily go teamfight in the jungle while a wave takes a tower. You should not let this happen if you are a support that has any form of waveclear (So... Blitz, Naut, Vel'koz, Brand, Zyra, Vel'Koz, Zilean). Losing a tower is way worse than your team going 2 for 3 instead of 3 for 2 in a teamfight that no objectives are taken off anyway.

Thresh is intentionally tuned a bit low so you have to be fairly on point with your plays for him to be better than an 'easier' support. Same deal as other popular mechanically difficult champions like Lee Sin, Leblanc etc, they have to balance them as if people are playing them close to perfect or else they'll be OP at the highest levels of play where that's actually the case.
