Just happened to me a few games ago as Nasus. Holy moly can that champion do damage and duel. His E makes knowing when you can actually kill him incredibly hard to gauge, plus you need to be able to account for escaping his ultimate.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that other part of his incredibly overpowered kit which is the insta-hit on turrets. He can drop over 1000 damage at level 14 or so on a turret in about 1.2 seconds. That's just crazy. If he ever pushes you out of lane, then you're going to lose a solid chunk of your turret every time. He'll have two more charged up by the time that he gets back into lane anyways. RoA seems to be his most core item. He needs mana and tankyness to get out of being hard CC'd. His escape range is huge, though. I think he can dash to soldiers 1000 units away or so. He's a day 1 buy for me. fatal oopsie-daisy fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Aug 30, 2014 |

I laned against my first Yorick as Fiora a few weeks ago and went like 9/0 in lane. Probably didn't help him that he rushed Liandries, though.

I got to her old E and immediately blurted "holy poo poo!" Soraka, the infamous "zero-hard-CC support," is getting an AoE root.  e: Also, got another Cait penta in ranked. That makes back-to-back ranked games in which I've gotten pentas. Feels good man. Corbeau fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Aug 30, 2014 |

I've played against Yorick a couple times as Pantheon and had trouble, but I felt like if I understood the matchup better it could've gone either way - both times I went dblade and did tons of damage to him with my Q, but he was able to land just as much harass on me with his skills and had a better all-in. I dunno, hopefully Servaetes can shed more light on this lane because I have no idea, I've come to much prefer Panth in the jungle, though I still play him top when I can. In any case, Yorick is thankfully rare.

Changing an almost-all-targeted champion to one with an AoE silence/root, a skillshot damage, and a heal with a really meaningful tradeoff. I'm down.

Yeah, I liked Soraka before, but this just sounds more fun to play as and against. They wanted her heals to be clutch heals, now she does that meaningfully.

Looks great I just hope she's not viable in solo lanes so she can actually be a powerful support. Because if she works as a solo laner they will just bury her with nerfs again.

misguided rage posted:They want her to be tanky, they don't want her to be unkillable. But they go out in the beginning and say "Her Q is a tank patterned ability, we don't want her to be a tank" then give her free offense from defense, which is a thing that champions like Braum, Rammus, and Malphite get. As far I'm aware those three are pretty much just tanks. And then a massive AOE crowd control that has no offensive scaling, which as far as I can tell is a massive tank patterned ability. Don't get me wrong I like the ideas behind the rework, but their whole logic behind it is seriously flawed. It's based on a contradiction.

It doesn't seem that you can lane her with that kit since she can't self heal except for ult. I doubt Q will be spammable enough to be used as poke, and her E doesn't do damage, so yeah, she'll be way too vulnerable for top where basically every champion is melee and can close in and gently caress her up since they barely give a gently caress about either the silence or the root, or mid where she isn't able to out trade anybody. The core of her oppressive laning earlier in the season was her free harass/silence and her ridiculous Q shred, plus her being able to self heal and get a brief armor steroid, all of which are gone.

my pog boyfriend posted:Soraka can't technically suicide by casting W 10 times but she can probably walk into a golem after doing that to meet her end. I don't think you can cast W on full health champs which probably means you won't be able to W 10 times in a row. Although if you can W minions you can probably just heal them as the enemy team is about to kill them then throw yourself into them or into the enemy team to feed.

No need to heal teammates when the enemy team is all dead  .

Admittedly zero experience with it myself but I'd imagine it's one of his very bad lanes. Yorick is the king of safe lane bullying with lots and lots of sustain. I think his sustain, especially after a tear will be absolutely superior to Panth's damage output. The big plus though is he pushes the poo poo out of his lane with ghouls taking hits instead of creeps/hitting creeps so he's generally very gankable and Pantheon + most junglers = dead shovelman. Another Very Bad Lane for Panth from personal experience though is Malphite. Dude's shitwheel is the same range or slightly further than Panth's Q, and the slow/speedup combo lets him get out of range pretty safely.

I really hope you can't heal minions though, not because it's super easy to grief with the way that W is (It would like, only be useful to heal super minions or something) but that it's loving annoying to have the game target a minion over a champion.

There's a pretty useful but very underused key binding you can hold down to target champions only. It's bound to tilde by default.

I decided to buy a mid instead of a jungler, and got Ahri. She is so loving amazing. I went 6-0-8 against Annie in my first game with her. Granted, I'm only level 5 but still! Also I can not wait to get Ignite and Flash instead of using Heal and Clarity. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1514183960/220536428 EDIT: Can I not buy runes with RP?

You can also buy IP boosts with RP and that sorta kinda is a roundabout way to buy runes with RP, but you still need to invest time into the game to get them.

Scenario: A Zed ults you, but you Exhaust him and then kill him before the mark goes off. When the mark does go off, does the damage reduction from Exhaust still apply?
