Is the "slow on auto attack" keystone maybe good on gnar? It's a frozen mallet at level 1

It’s literally one of their example builds in the YouTube video, so I’d expect it’s at least good enough

If Brand (and before nerfs, Annie) be a meta support I’m keeping an open mind. It really depends on how easy her poke is to land, how reliable her CC is, and her burst damage combo

Did a Leona game as my first with the new runes.

Aftershock seems insanely good. It's almost exactly the same effect as her W, so now you just get it twice. I was concerned that going for purely all-in runes would make me not as useful late, but that didn't happen.

I went Domination as my secondary, wasn't in love with it. Zombie Ward isn't as useful as I thought it would be, because killing like 5 wards in a game is normal. Also, you only get the zombie on your own wards if they time out; if your wards are timing out as a support, you're probably in bronze.

Not sure whether I want to do Sorcery -> Ultimate Hat / Celerity, or Inspiration -> Magical Footwear / Cosmic Insight.

So does "killstealing" actually matter or is it just the usual "gently caress you I'm the carry I should get all the kills" bullshit from mobas and safe to ignore?

Cause people seem to get really mad when I come to gank and attack the enemy till they're dead.

They're dumb, just kill the dudes

did you go sorcery for the free cast every 60 seconds? it seems choice for blitz in particular

Nah, I did movespeed and more movespeed because if I'm gonna do a gimmick I'm gonna go all in

edit: waterwalking does seem underwhelming compared to the free spells though

Both yes. Knockups count.

I am really struggling in bot lane to gauge trades with the new rune system. It seems the damage I'm expecting to take / dish out is not in line with reality. Unfortunate for my teammates on the rift I guess.

New runes are supes cool regardless.

The basic solution is to play something all-in like Leona or Blitz and not worry whether they’ll take 1000 or 2000 damage, because they have 600hp.

Pretty hosed up how when solo laners earn gold it's called "farming" but when support characters do it it's "bandit" and "kleptomancy"

Edit: forgot to quote Thresh post

It’s definitely Aftershock. Thresh’s big weakness has always been to bite off more than he can chew, in terms of engaging fights without the necessary tankiness to survive getting focused for more than half a second, so getting Leona W is just perfect for him.

As much as Methanar and I might want you to think Udyr is freelo, he's not. He does come in the top 10 best-performing junglers right now, but not nearly as highly performing as Rammus/Xin/Shyv who are all tearing it up with at or approaching 55% win rates. That said, the new rune system definitely favors traditional attack speed junglers who kick off fast clears into strong ganks (Udyr/Xin) or who can just power-farm even harder (Shyvana). The inherent buffs to Rammus alongside this, as well as Aftershock, are really pushing him over the top as a go-to jungler as well: he gets insanely strong mid-gank thanks to Aftershock + W, and his clear is actually a bit faster now.

I tried Rammus in a couple norms after getting tipped that he’s absurd right now, and folks... he is. Tanks who don’t build any damage st all should not be able to trivially 1v2 and kill an ADC when they’re not even ahead.
