That maokai nerf to his ulti, ugh. They nerfed his problem skill (twisted advance doing far too much damage and having far too good AP scaling on it) so why did they have to nerf his defencive steroid >:|

It's a very reasonable change. He didn't have just one "problem skill", he just did too much in general. His ult is still just as effective if you time it right, but you can't misjudge the start of a teamfight, activate it 4 seconds early, and get away with it just because you build enough mana.

Very good Vaynes are hard to come by, your friend is the exception. If Doublelift has proven anything, it's that godlike Vayne skills doesn't mean you are going to win.

I'll go out on a limb and say that if he does show up in competitive at all, it's going to be based on his stats and numbers being overtuned and not his actual synergy with the team.

I'll go out on a limb and say having 6 different skills that don't cost mana is going to be a reason to first pick him. We'll see I guess.

His CSing is flawless and his teamfight mechanics are so honed that people don't even get mad when he aces their team because they are just that impressed. On his grind to diamond he played Vayne more or less every single game and rarely ever lost. Why would you deny a person like this from playing their best champion?

If it's the person I'm thinking it is, yeah he's a mechanical god but his awareness and decisionmaking are complete rear end. Much like Doublelift.

The issue with vayne mechanics is that they are by definition balls to the wall, and the difference between a good fight and a bad fight could be as simple as "take 5 less minion damage" or "drat his cc came up a half second too quick". Either it looks really good or you've actively thrown, with basically 0 in between.

This is why if you want a hypercarry you should pick Trist since she has a huge jump and ridiculous self peel ult and can just a-move into the enemy team to kill them. :v:

Except those were already attached to Veigar because of file names. Maybe Yasuo is another Arcade skin, so that in theory you could have a full standard meta Arcade team comp (Yasuo top, Hecarim jungle, Sona/MF bot, Veigar mid).

Full Metal Yasuo will probably look incredibly awesome, can't wait to see!

As for Gnar, I feel like he's gonna be one of those champs everyone picks up and discards within the first week or so of playing him. The rage mechanic seems like it'd be infuriating if done at the wrong time (which looks really frequent) as it looks like Big Gnar is slow as gently caress.

Yasuo surely has four fingers, yesiree...

It's probably in the Full Metal line of skins (Jayce, Viktor). They sure have been double-timing the release of new skins without the quality declining, though; I'm curious what's coming for the Championship skin later this year.

Everyone makes the low-effort "just give every champ a fire/ice-themed skin", but over the past couple of months we've gotten some really primo poo poo like the two new Debonaire skins, the Mecha skin line, the World Cup-themed skins, Super Galaxy Rumble, Primetime Draven, Blade Queen Lissandra, Void Fizz (which the community brainstormed and wanted for years now)...if you want to stretch and call the Dragonslayer and Arctic Ops line fire/ice skins, those are still about 4 months old at this point.

I love everything about that except the mask. Maybe it's just a bad angle for it, though.

Edit: And honestly I find blade queen Lissandra a bit disappointing. The color palette is kind of bad and it just isn't a big enough departure from her existing skins.

Yeah, a lot of the skins released in the past few months have been spectacular. The Pantheon one made me go back to really figuring him out just on how rad as gently caress he was. Rumble was a bit heartbreaking however in the sense that not only is he horrible to play right now but the skin somehow made his already atrocious last hitting even worse.

Some routing tables hit 512K routes today. Some old hardware and

I've had success running 9/21 with ap and cdr in offense and resists depending on the enemy laner in defense. For runes I'd recommend magic or hybrid penetration marks, armor or health seals (armor against an ad opponent, health against ap), mr or cdr glyphs (mr against ap, cdr against ad), and AP quints for stronger spells in lane.
