Which champ would you guys say is the "most" overdue for a skin?
I'd say Karma personally, bearing in mind that those who are earlier "in line" often need full VUs/Reworks before it's sensible. (Hello Taric, Urgot, Evelynn)

Skarner and Yorick still have nothing past their release skins and aren't (at least as far as I know) due for any visual updates. And that's also despite battlecast Skarner being teased for what, 2 years now? With a cruel reminder of how we still don't have roboscorpion in the splash art of a lovely skin for a lovely champion.

Kha'Zix still only has his release skin. He's probably the most overdue.

His release skin was not on fire or a recolour so I think he can get in line behind Karma, Yorick and Skarner.

It was a reference to some post made in a previous thread when talking about Malzahar's connection to Kassadin's daughter. Something like "Malzahar rolls up in his void wagon and nether grasps her null zone."

It certainly doesn't look like the rest of the either of their skins.

Thinking about it, part of the reason I didn't figure it was Caitlyn was that, besides it not looking anything like Caitlyn, I had literally forgotten Caitlyn exists until I reverse-searched the picture and found who it was. Caitlyn really is just that boring.

Poulpe posted:

Chiming in late I know- but that Caitlyn skin is really just not "her" at all. What's with the boob window :riot:

The boob window is unfortunately very Caitlyn, considering all her skins. I was mainly just surprised at how the art manages to completely cover it, as well as her upper arms. It isn't until you see it in-game that you discover it has a chest window and no sleeves, which at least in my opinion kind of undoes the "badass future-hunter" look of the skin.

I've been playing Gnar for the past few days and so far the only stat that feels good for both his forms (beyond "tank stats") is Attack Speed. Mini Gnar's base damage is so low, but the bonus damage on his W proc so high, that BotRK feels like a waste over Shiv or Phantom Dancer. I mean hell, I've built Wit's End on him with the right team and done very well. On the other side, big Gnar has such a high damage bonus but so low attack speed that most of the time it feels like you're waiting all day for the next auto to finish. I really don't know where people are getting that Mega Gnar does all the damage, because a maxed mini W proc chunks off big pieces of people's health and has a 1.0 ap ratio.

The AP ratio isn't for the %health damage though, it's just flat additional damage. Still, it seems like with just BOTRK or Trinity Force (or both if you're feeling saucy) Gnar can just chunk the poo poo out of any melee top lane in little form and he's too dangerous to 1v1 in big form. He's a bastard of a lane bully in the style of Kennen, but I've not had the chance to go against him with a ranged top. I have this feeling Vlad might take a giant poo poo on Gnar.

Why does every ADC in ARAM insist on building Hurricane? Even in ARAM the best case scenario of multiple enemy champs being clumped rarely happens in a situation you can sit there and damage.

I just realized what my ideal champion would be. An ADC with cait's range and lucian's pre-nerf dash. I would play that champion forever, even if it's other abilities were all totally useless.

Late game damage and tankiness. His ult's damage amp is always good, and he can survive decently enough with his pool plus zhonya's and the health from his passive.

Every now and then if I get Jinx in ARAM I go full cheese and build hurricane on her. I just never leave rocket mode.

Not the best option, but it's ARAM. gently caress it, I'm going to try fun stuff.

Flat 1.0 ap ratio on top of %max health damage. Iceborne + Nashor's Tooth and Hourglass or something equally hilarious. Build like Kayle. Ride that poo poo until Riot nerfs it.

If you're playing ADC in ARAM you should, almost exclusively, start with Pickaxe + Long Sword, put 2 points in your main nuke, buy mana potions, and rush Last Whisper -> Infinity Edge. Unless you're, like, Tristana or something who doesn't have a mega AD nuke.

This build will win you vast amounts of games for Sivir, Graves, Caitlyn, Varus, Ashe, Jinx... it goes on.

I will say AP Nasus is fun as hell in ARAM, start with like a frostfang and nuke with your E on cooldown. People aren't used to respecting Spirit Fire whatsoever.

I apologize to whoever bought Gnar because I hyped him up. I hope you're still enjoying the little guy even if the consensus is that he blows.

I legitimately thought he felt really strong, even if you don't get ahead. Unfortunately, it's way too hard to get into the fray as Mega Gnar so it's nearly impossible to wreak all of his havoc. Plus, the whole not being able to decide when you're going to all-in is a pretty lovely thing in and of itself.

Probably because its the only time they can build it without being reported, or they are just that dumb player that builds suboptimally no matter what. Its the worst to have an ADC champ get a couple of your early kills in aram and come back with a hurricane first buy.
