Really to the point though Aurelion struggles in a very hilarious way when people get up close and personal with him. I've played Graves, dashed into his little radius and he instantly flashes because he can't even fire the Q out because he can't reactivate when it's dead center on top of him. I'm sure there's some people that really put in the time to learn him but he is entirely too weird for me to bother. Servaetes fucked around with this message at 20:47 on May 7, 2016 |

Radical posted:akali is actually really strong on this patch because of the revolver spike you get in lane now Yeah; Revolver is like a small Lichbane now, so it makes it actually worthwhile to get in melee range before your ult. You can take 50% of certain matchups' health just from proccing the mark with Revolver off cooldown. Hextech Dash and Gunblade are also great for securing dudes who dont die to 3 dashes, letting you get some vital esscape essence.

I'm sure there's some people that really put in the time to learn him but he is entirely too weird for me to bother. I played him a few times this week just to test him out and see how his mechanics work because I hadn't ever played him. I definitely panic every time someone goes inside the star orbit and then I just start toggling it around to try frantically to hit them with something at any range and usually don't.

Honestly, a lot of his problems just come down to how slowly the hearts orbit when they aren't expanded, at least for me.

Revolver sheen is a stupid strong power spike, proccing all of that on top of thunderlords should win you an all in against a lot of people

Safety Scissors posted:I think Brand's passive is too strong. The AoE radius needs to go down. The worst thing that can happen to him right now is that other parts of him get nerfed then the passive gets nerfed because usually that's how champions end up in the dumpster. I doubt Brand will get nerfed. If you look more closely at the win rates, Brand is OP in bronze (54~55% win rate), but loses about 1% win rate for each tier above bronze. The new Brands is basically a newb crusher. This is great for me, since I am both bronze as gently caress, and love playing Brand. EDIT: It feels like almost all his damage got moved to his 3-hit passive. Since high elo players can actually dodge skillshots, no wonder Brand suffers in Plat+. golden bubble fucked around with this message at 22:57 on May 7, 2016 |

high elo players are also capable of hitting skillshots with some exceptions (coughkillgoldfishcough)

Brand is also piss-easy to land skillshots with since he has conflagration which can proc full rylais slow (and even without that all his poo poo has large ranges and hitboxes; you aint exactly doing karthus beads)

Verviticus posted:if ocean is the first dragon and you get it early, you win every lane. i would rather have ocean than get first blood from a gank Yeah, this. Toplane and botlane can basically trade indiscriminately and win through attrition. Midlane doesn't have to care about mana for the remainder of the game.

yeah ive seen a lot of people picking junglers like ww/olaf/nunu that just solo the drake. even if lanes are doing poorly early on the jungle champ has been powerfarming and everyone gets buff as hell from then on.

Here's what I say 1, Brand. This guy... lets not nerf him. He's alright. 2. Olaf: Hell of a guy. Respect him. 3. Karthus: The boys are back! Karthus is back in town and is ready for fun. Don't play this champ. 4. Big winner in the mage rework patch?

Most matchups you know within five minutes which team is going to win and then it's just a matter of grinding it out as a character totally unsuited to whatever lane/jungle you ended up stuck in. Sure there are going to be a few good games but ugh At least on the ARAM map it's wild whacky teamfight hijinx that's fun for a while, not just the same old poo poo but you maybe get a payoff in 20+ minutes when the teams start doing things.

The one tank is the one that won in the end as well. Don't underestimate banner of command and stuff if you are against ap in this mode, works really well!

rabidsquid posted:When the guy said plat players dodge skill shots I was like "heh" I've always considered it a huge logical fallacy that skill shot reliant game play is fundamentally different between even like pro-tier players and wood-tier players. The better you are the more you will likely hit and dodge them, but the higher your MMR the more likely your opponent is to do the same. Bronze Thresh might end up hitting way more hooks in a game than one in a pro match but it's probably because the game goes on for 55 minutes with everyone fighting constantly for no objective and he has way more gameplay opportunities.

also most of the skillshots in this game have hitboxes the size of barns (two of them are literally barns), so dodging/hitting them is more about prediction and baiting than it is about actual aim

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if that was a large part of the reason they're doing so poorly. Reworked darius had people maxing the wrong skills for like six months afterwards, ditto cait with her new traps.

2 levels of leveling wrong skills in the mid lane does not equal 37% win rate.

Tired Moritz posted:how do you play Kennen? protobelt > hourglass is the hot build on him atm. you can get deathcap or abyssal third, i feel like 4th item deathcap is pretty late but i dunno. some people run ad runes on him but mpen / ar / ap / ap is pretty standard, you get enough CDR now that his ult will always be up pretty much. you probably need to take 0/18/12 masteries to get the summoner cooldown talent, i did 12/18/0 a bunch and you pretty much never have your sums up, i don't think you're actually getting that much extra damage for it compared to being potentially able to tp flank and flash initiate more. Either way take thunderlords. The usual combo top lane vs melee is to get your W passive hit up and zone them with q to farm, if they get in range for an auto attack spam W and you'll get the thunderlords proc because the auto has two damage instances. starting items are doran blade potion, level qwe and then priority is r > q > w > e. getting a refillable potion on your first back if you can't afford the revolver is valuable. you can get abyssal before protobelt if you're against like, lissandra i guess. edit: actually w e q as your first three points is probably better Radical fucked around with this message at 14:47 on May 8, 2016 |
