Aatrox is a skilly matchup IMO. The rest of that list is solid though.

I've been building attack speed and crit on Sion, and it feels so wrong... but then I kick Chogath to death and I get over it.

Someone teach me how to Corki before i get in way over my head. I'm copying a build I saw at World's to some degree and by mid-late game I'm doing gross amounts of damage to everyone. Normal ADC Masteries Hybrid Penetration Runes Phage -> Sheen -> Triforce Sorc's Boots -> Liandry's -> Black Cleaver -> Infinity Edge -> Defensive item I've been pulling off some of the best ADC scores of my career with this build, and even if I just blow rear end in lane phase, by the time I finish Triforce and Sorc Shoes, I'm doing enough damage to seriously chunk down people with a Rocket/Q combo, but I haven't gotten long enough into a game that didn't have us surrender to play from behind.

Libertine posted:Had a really fun normal game where I copied GMB Diamond's Jungle Gragas build (that he's been spamming in solo queue) and test driving it. It was my first time doing it and I played terribly early game and we were down 0/4 including me feeding double buffs to Leblanc and Darius going up 2-0 on our Irelia. I was gifted Fnatic Gragas skin recently so I've been wanting an excuse to use it. I think I may start Gragas jungling again..I feel like he fell a bit out of favor, but I guess super-tank Gragas can do wondrous things.

Keven. Just. Keven posted:Agreed, riven was never a terror in solo queue like shen or singed. Lmao. Shen completely warped the metagame until they gutted him, and proxy singed is a strong contender for the most broken thing which has ever existed in this game which wasn't a straight up bug.

Proxy Singed was an annoying as hell gimmick but if you had anyone that could get sustain in lane you could freeze indefinitely along with him. It kinda came down to if the singed was useful despite dying four billion times or if he was a total retard though.

THE PENETRATOR posted:They play Destiny and also Civilization One grindy game is enough for me at least, and Destiny fills that slot. Watch like an hour or two of streams and see if the and grabs you. If not, don't bother. Proxy Singed was funny and interesting because it exploited game mechanics, required a different strategy to play against, and bypassed a lot of assumptions people had about the game. It may or may not have been good for the game but it was the most interesting thing to happen in a while, especially top lane. BigLeafyTree fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Oct 23, 2014 |

Transient People posted:That and the guillotine refresh, since it meant he could always fight you and you couldn't really fight back. Otherwise yeah, he was (mostly) reasonable. Just unfun to play against. The best part of this is that they nerfed Riven's ult cooldown during this period, with the reasoning that "Riven can kill you with her ultimate and then by the time you revive and make it back to lane, she has it ready again. And that's really not fair or fun for her opponent." Which was true. They just ignored that Darius could, and was designed specifically to, do this exact thing.

So while it may have been a bit tardy, at least they both ended up getting equal treatment with the nerf stick.

SuccinctAndPunchy posted:If it's worth anything to you, I hate that bullshit as well. It's incredibly dumb that when laning against her, victory is usually predicated on who presses R first. I'm really glad I had my coming-of-age via HoN/Dota and thusly I'm not whiny as gently caress about piddly poo poo like Fiora's ultimate. Boo hoo you need to kill the champion to stop them from doing {X}! What a terrible design!

IMO, for true balanced counterplay to be present, all champions should (and must) exchange three full cycles of QWER each before they are permitted to kill each other.

These exchanges should also carry no permanent or even semipermanent cost and both parties should have the option to leave these exchanges at any time and be completely safe under the loving shadow of their tower. Oh and the champion who has to push more buttons should win because they have more buttons to push and thus take more skill to play.

Champions also need to bow to each other before starting a fight, because that's the honorable way to start a duel and I take my e-bushido very seriously.

Keven. Just. Keven posted:Defensive power from offensive stats is unequivocally bad, champions so mobile that don't have to buy boots at any point during a game are bad, champions with ults that force your opponent out of lane just because you pressed it regardless of outcome of your all in are bad. She's also brain dead mash button who gives a poo poo easy, and "outplaying" consists of sitting in a bush for 2 seconds while all your buttons come back so your spastic 14 year old hands can flail your way into damaging cc again. The only champion, worse designed, than riven, is nobody. Riven is worst. Shut the gently caress up and stop posting in this thread. Your opinions are bad and you should keep them to yourself.

The problem wasn't proxy Singed per se it was more the fact that only Singed could proxy. It is a very different strategy from basically everything else in the game that abused a lot of stuff, but only Singed could pull it off effectively.

Just to be clear "proxy Singed" is about feeding until you are not worth any gold, not the actual proxy-ing where you go beyond the enemy turrets and farm, because that is something everyone can do. The whole tactical feeding was stupid, you could literally do nothing about it, while they get infinite farm.
