i cant tell if its just some goofy pocket pick or if runes are tilted so heavily to arcane comet/aery that this is just the obvious outcome

edit: i am fairly certain that double arcane comet is gonna be meta in pro play unless something wild comes out of nowhere

I think you're right and it's just really really good on a few mages

QEW. The cooldown on W doesn't scale with rank, and since all J4 does is combo, auto, and dunk, you want to be able to use your combo as often as possible. As an added bonus, additional attack speed for the whole team is relevant.

QWE but start E. It used to be QEW but since his W got buffed I prefer that second.

Any thoughts on Kassadin and the new runes? I've tried aery and comet, both of which seem reasonable, but not ideal. I've heard that press the attack kassadin might be a thing?

Electrocute..? He's an assassin with a 3+ hit burst combo who doesn't bring strong CC.

yeah I will try that, but his laning phase is kind of rough and I don't think it would particularly help it. You really need early Q poke to survive most lanes.

I never quite understand what exactly I'd want to replace my starting sums with, I usually start with them for a reason, I can only think of replacing or adding teleport based on how the game is going.

I start tp, use it once or twice for lane, then switch to an optimal summoner spell (on malz usually ghost, cleanse, or barrier). You can always switch it back to tp if you need it for late game, which can be extremely powerful in some lategame circumstances.

You're welcome.

Nasus has always done this. It's just now there's runes that really help you do this. Build him tanky (shocker), and you'll just be around long enough for Q to chunk people.

Tanks are just great right now. Last night I managed to get +165 HP from Grasp before laning ended against an Irelia. I also killed her/enemy jungle every time they tried to gank me because being able to build pure tank and poo poo out more damage than two people is ridiculous.

Until traditional bruisers get an actual viable Keystone top lane - since just flat out none of them work well there - you can just pick any champion that scales with HP/resists and go destroy some hopes and dreams.

So what does one run on Nasus now, grasp + ?? Inspiration for biscuit and boots?

Honestly you should probably ban kassadin every game too now as well. His ratios are back at the level they were when he was 100% pick ban and with the new runes you can both: a: put out an unreasonable level of early poke with Q and Aery, and b: Riftwalk 8 times with the 800 mana cost riftwalk thanks to presence of mind and with a 1 second cooldown thanks to ultimate hat.

I think kass is good but ultimate hat may be a noob trap on him

I lost three very winnable games last night because my bot lane inexplicably decided to run into the enemy jungle with no vision over and over again, ama

For real, though, I wish I was good at ADC, because it seems like the fate of bot lane is deciding every game in this patch.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:

I can't really recommend picking trynd right now in a patch state where malphite and teemo are both top tier top laners and against yorick he can bully you out of lane and save his cage for when you use your spin.

Good picks into yorick are those that can just endlessly waveclear or damage him outside of his effective range like swain/malz or a cheeky yasuo that endlessly dashes and max range Q pokes without him being able to do anything in reaction.

I've played about three or four games with a Trynd in them since the big pre-season patch and I have literally never seen it be successful.
