People think Jhin is weak? Colour me surprised. Dude feels perfect to me both for laning and teamfights. High damage, good range, incredible engagement confirmation, but gets absolutely destroyed when leaped on with very little recourse. Also I am a child so I enjoy seeing stats like "Largest Critical Strike: 3300."

TheIncredulousHulk posted:If making champ select shorter is the point, why do they make you wait when it's you and your teammate picking back to back? Pretty sure it's just because they think it'll make champ select look more dramatic in LCS or whatever, which now that I think about it, is probably the actual point behind the lock-in poo poo Yeah it's nearly entirely presentation that this was made for because the rest of it is side the pre-selection is garbage.

The Crusher posted:I remember the Xin changes also making E's cooldown a flat number across all levels instead of being reduced. If that's true, it's instantly a 1 point wonder. At that point you just gotta weigh the difference of maxing Q nd W first. Slow and damage still increase so no, you're still maxing the charge first.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:Actually no, you maxxed it for cooldown Maxing Q or E is good. There's no point in going for W early when it matters least. I lean E because you will get all the damage in one go and it matters more at the start.

How Rude posted:Pretty sure I'll be maxing W after the next patch because it's going to be so loving broken and one of the two reasons you max E is a shorter cooldown, which will become irrelevant. So at level 6, you do approximately 44 damage every 3rd hit which is cool! But relies on you always being on top of the opponent. You will be buying devourer so that number isn't increasing until you go into BotRK or Rageblade. It is pretty much equivalent to the damage you're getting out of maxing E first once you hit level 5-6~. The heal scaling is for getting a single point in it and is bonus AD based so... whatever. Talking about it in terms of jungle clear is neat but his charge is also AoE for camps so it's not as effective until level 5, and the three talon strike CDR is probably going to be causing your charge to do more DPS to camps (in an AOE no less) until level 7. W is broken because why do you want to give this dude a mini-crit going into late-game jesus. Chumppell fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Feb 7, 2016 |

Mikujin posted:I saw a Jhin do really, really well today. It's the first time it's happened. Basically just really relied on doing good things with W and quick;y repositioning with crit movespeed. He is a finesse dude that plays juuuuust outside the teamfight, but is not just looking for ult snipes. So pretty much a dude that like 5% of people play properly, but 50% of players think they're that 5%. Chumppell fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Feb 7, 2016 |

Devo is cool if you're an attack speed jungler and hate THE MOST VALUABLE STAT IN THE GAME (because it has AP tied to it), but 10% MS is gross enough that a lot of builds turned into it + swifties, sometimes even adding DMP.

henkman posted:At worst you lose the race to level 2 and now instead of just the jungle being hosed multiple lanes are Yeah it's often a crapshoot to help the jungler if you can't guarantee results without losses. Bot lane especially can turn quickly on one side having a level and CS advantage off of chasing away a Shaco, Nidalee or some similarly slippery jungler.

The Mash posted:Akali has very good base values, which means she does a lot of damage even with tank items. If you run some magic pen on her to amplify the base values, Sunfire Cape becomes even better on her too. It's obnoxious but it definitely works. It's less "good base values" on its own and more that her E has a 1 second cooldown and has a .6 total AD ratio so you just kill people by living long enough to cast it 5-7 times.

The only time I've seen actual issues regarding the dynamic queue team-up stuff has been high diamond / challenger crews rolling together. Below that, even with coordination... people are just kinda poo poo. If the concern is "i am being dragged along by this 4 stack into whatever dumb decisions they want to go through with...", that happened with actual solo queue as well, but if you want to assign the problem to allowing organized crews, that's reasonable. I certainly watch it happen while I'm a part of them. I just happen to agree with the queue-splitting concern Riot purports to have as their main concern, since we saw what team builder queues were like for a good long while in comparison to normal matchmaking. Might be for the best if a lot of people do hop over to solo queue long term, but more likely it'd just make matches even crappier to find as people try to do both, especially as you go further up the chain.

Prokhor posted:I'm a real lovely bronze who has started playing Gangplank pretty regularly and one thing that I always run in to is running out of mana early.

Do I want to try and use it exclusively to harass?

Prokhor posted:Ok makes sense. I've really just been very... passive? And standing miles away from the wave and just q'ing the waves to farm. How does gangplank trade against someone who wants to be in close eg. someone like riven? Do I use the Q to harass then and farm in melee range or stand back and farm w/ Q and barrels? Switch it up. You're picking GP for a strong lategame so you can afford to be a bit passive, but you can still put the hurt on early threats like Darius or Riven by playing well with your barrels / dancing in and out of threat ranges with your gun. Riven has ways to cover ground to chop down your barrels quickly, so practice doing three barrel quick detonations (placing a barrel, another barrel, shooting the closest one and placing a third as they explode) to catch her. If you get really solid at predicting movement and learn your ranges really well, you can also do two barrel quick dets but... don't count on those. Main thing is that if you feel like you're gonna have problems being aggressive in a particular match, Gangplank is very good at hanging back to improve CS / wave clearing, so feel free to try things until you have to fall back on that.

NTT posted:serv is right about what The item does As a High Point for him. However, the times when the Proc will wind up with your fourth shot which will line up with a low health squishy enemy is frankly not very common, and when you are not using it for this niche use, you are getting a very underwhelming single Target chunk of magic damage which is almost useless for everything else. Personally I do not think it's a very good trade and would much rather have a reliable waveclear or skirmish tool. Yeah, I used to buy cannon a lot, but Shiv has given me far better results far more consistently.
