generally when you get a 3 star of a 4 cost unit you win the game and it's not even close. 'shen is good' is not remotely comparable to that
this but katarina as well, especially if you get good items. and shen is a great unit

Shield and taunt duration 4/4/4 -> 4/4/8

making shen 3 actually do something? who could have guessed? :thunk:

if you are playing hunters, try making kindred an assassin with a ghostblade. its a lot better than you would think

Terry knows what he can do with his bloody chocolate orange...

Kindred is just a very strong unit. I always pick her up if I see her early and dump into the comp if I can afford to break synergies. She'll usually be topping the damage chart at level 5 or so.

the secret to assassin kindred is her spell already kicks rear end, but if you make her an assassin suddenly this spell is critting for thousands of damage, and the hunter synergy stacks with assassin too so you can get an empowered auto crit which just decimates someones entire life

People are definitely sleeping on early Kindred. I feel like most people don't even realize how good she is even when they run her and only run her because she's a spirit.

Also, Wed they are nerfing/buffing stuff and it looks like Xin Zhao is going to be absolutely brokenly good.

Kindred is the best unit to transition to Ashe, using them as an item holder for that. Can also hold items for... pretty much anyone, honestly.

Kalista will in fact apply spears with Hurricane, but the rend is single-target so it's only helpful if she's your main source of damage and the enemy has a lot of fairly chunky units for her to stack against (and she lives the whole time).

If you're on duelist reroll she wants AP because she will straight up slam into the attack speed cap with enough duelist stacks. If you're running her as one of your cultist carries she really needs a rageblade.

The game is a bit more balanced now but Aphelios is still really strong. Up to D3 now and climbing, this set rules.

Yeah I saw that on Mort's video today. Pretty smart but how that was even being considered given how dominant Duelist is right now is amazing.

I haven't yet decided if it's actually good or just a meme but I pulled off the Bubble Bobble comp in my 2nd game of the new patch. It is a Yasuo's worst nightmare, every single Yasuo I saw just got instagibbed as soon as the fight started once the Luden's was on.

I think it could be good with more frontline like hyperroll Ziggs + Malphite, idk what fits well with enlightened mage though, maybe fortune frontline with Annie and go down to 4 enlightened

I think the biggest problem with Nami being good is that Jinx exists and uses most of the same components but better. The best Nami comp I can think of is hyperroll Nami, Fiora, TF, Tahm Kench with fortune chosen pref. Add Annie at 5 for 3 mage 3 chosen 2 enlightened and if you hit it's an easy top 4. Prio sword > tear > rod and pivot to Jinx if you miss. This actually sounds epic and I think I will try it out

Irelia is the comp's main frontline, with the 3 points of her not being hugely contested, Gargoyle getting buffed and her getting good use out of Gunblade meaning she can tank for a long time, or at least long enough that Nami can just permastun everyone that's actually dangerous. It's a very specific comp, you absolutely need 6 enlightened and 3 mage for the mana boost and double casting so it's something you can only effectively run if you get a Nami Chosen since she needs to be 3 star to get the 4 second stun and allow her to permastun anyone she gets a bubble on.

Nami chosen also gets 25% mana cost reduction which makes her cast insanely fast with luden's and shojin. The build gets absolutely punked by sharpshooters and to a lesser extent ashe brawlers but it's definitely something to keep in mind if you see the opportunity

3* jarvan is a total crank and basically single handedly makes warlord a real comp on the new patch. 750 base damage on a warlord who gets up to 105 sp for free is really good

I had a 2* Kalista today in a 6 Duelist comp with a Rabadon's and Runaan's and she basically melted teams. 10% per spear, I can only imagine what a 3* would have looked like.
