Quinn and Poppy is one of the strongest bot lanes in the game. No one will play it because of prejudice against the two best champions in the game.

So currently whenever I'm forced into top lane I cheese it with kayle or karma (unless I can get a decent match-up for pantheon). I was thinking about picking up Fiora to have in my back pocket for when this happens; is she worth the 6300?

No doubt. She's easy to play you can dunk the gently caress out of people

e: vvv yeah Fiora mid is good too, yasuo especially is a free win for her. you can still beat bruisery assholes as fiora though. except panth. gently caress that guy. vvv

imo silences in league need to be re-worked because their current function is kind of stupid. silences are supposed to counter mages and prevent them from casting spells, but because all abilities are considered spells it just counters everyone. they should sort all the abilities into physical/magical. change that, and then give LB hers back.

it makes sense that a silenced Syndra can't do her magic sphere poo poo, but it doesn't make sense that a silenced Darius can't swing an axe at you.

Giodo! posted:

I think as a game mechanic it's way easier to understand that silence = no abilities than to try to suss out what is a physical and what is a magical damange ability, or to try to apply an ultimately irrelevant logic test to it ( since Riot has never even attempted to have the physical/magic damage thing make sense based on the ability itself. Is Zed's Death Mark really any less a spell than Syndra's ult? Why is buster shot or Mundo's cleaver magical?). The latter places a pretty large burden of knowledge on players, and gives you weird edge cases with mixed damage champions.

I guess it does, but I just think that's the only way that silences can achieve their intended purpose (countering mages) without being completely retarded, like LB and Kass' silences were. That's what WoW does anyway and it makes total sense in that game at least.

What are you guys doing when Fiora's ult is down? I find I can get ahead top with her but I can't close out games because teamfights either happen too quickly or my team doesn't engage with me.

You can't really use it as an engage unless
- you're sickeningly fed
- you've caught a squishy target out and can one-combo them
- your team has really good follow-up cc

wait until the right moment to go in, so then by the time you've used it, you should be able to finish off people with Qs and stuff.

Build CDR so you can stick on people else you're going to run around being useless waiting for your Q CD

glomkettle posted:

This gets brought up every time Fiora is mentioned but you're usually much better off maxing Q first. +50 base damage and -2 seconds cooldown on your mobility skill are going to be more useful than +5 ad and -1 second cooldown on riposte.

and if you're playing against Gangplank as Fiora he will be dead 90% of the time anyway

Top Gnar seems super easy to kill in little mode but my god don't go near him if mega Gnar is nearly ready/up holy poo poo.

How about building Gnar as a split pusher?

You can throw boots of go fast and a hurricane on him and use it's ability to quickly trigger his hyper, push lanes, and then run (or hop) away into the jungle when they come for you.

he can be good at pushing but you can't build hurricane because it's a bad item and you will transform after like 2 waves and then it does nothing

better would probably be getting ghostblade for that

OK, a friend of mine is posting that he thinks Runaan's will be great on Gnar, because you can transform super quick even though you don't get the bonus attacks when you're Mega Gnar. I say it's not worth it. Am I crazy or is he crazy?

It just seems like the dumbest idea to me. Triforce + BotRK is perfect with both parts of his kit. Why waste 2400 gold just for a quicker transform when you could get something that works with everything?

e: vvv yeah, true. both or one is fine it just depends on the situation. vvv

You can remove the Gnar points out of this post and it applies to pretty much any Nightblue game I've seen, I don't really get the thing of people watching him play. His original unranked->challenger stream was decent though when I saw the vids on youtube. Lot of good information in them.

that pretty much sums up NB
