So Udyr with the new AP jungler item is actually kind of good. It gives him crazy fast clear speed and the movespeed means he's basically impossible to run away from unless you can chain ranged CC on him. Stalker's + Runic Echoes Swiftness + Alacrity Iceborne OR Trinity (gotta go faster) Dead Man's Plate Spirit Visage insert tank item of choice

Gridlocked posted:Sounds neat, wouldn't mind giving it a try. Runes are pretty flexible, but I like attack speed reds, armor/level yellows, mr/level blues, movespeed quints. Masteries are either 12/0/18 or 0/12/18, with the latter being better, I think. Runic Armor and Swiftness out of the Resolve tree are both really good on him, especially Swiftness because his one big weakness is being kited.

Tahm's nerfs did almost nothing, he is still an unkillable piece of poo poo with infuriating amounts of CC His Q is really stupid; it comes out really fast, and the hitbox is way bigger than it looks.

Pick primary mid, secondary jungle, get jungle 9 games in a row with an instant queue. What the gently caress is the point in picking primary and secondary roles if I'm going to get my secondary role every time? I could sort of understand if the client had to wait 5+ minutes for to place me in a game because noone is queuing as jungler, but it looks like it just throws me in the first game with an open spot instead of prioritizing my primary role.

Mikujin posted:I think mid is the highest pick rate role. I was often queuing jungle main / top secondary and I'd say the split between roles was about 40/60. I have since started to queue as jungle/mid and I have not gotten a mid game yet. What I'm trying to say here is I'd rather wait a few minutes to get a role I want than be instantly queued in a role I am just okay at.

Going back to Udyr chat: Udyr currently has the highest winrate in the jungle at around 57% according to Champion.gg His most successful build? A Runic Echoes build similar to the one I posted before.

Also, I really don't like the idea of leveling E over W. An extra 180-ish damage shield on a 4 second cooldown is unbelievably good for dueling, even if the lifesteal isn't always relevant.

I've taken to banning Jhin if anyone on my team hovers over him in champ declare phase. I have seen him do well approximately once, and it was in a team with a dozen peels for him (Janna, Nautilus, Poppy). In every other game I have seen him either explode instantly to focus or just be an ult/trap bot because he can't get close.

Jax, Irelia and Trynd. I got loving destroyed every game, sit under my tower and farm while she zones me kind of thing. Jax especially; his E is completely useless against her in lane phase, because it's a free riposte every time and there is nothing I can do about it.

Down 15 kills, 6 towers, an inhib, a fire dragon, two water dragons, every laner down by ~30-60 cs, and we can't leave our base or the 14 kill leblanc one shots one of us due to no vision: "We can still win, we have lategame" and the surrender vote fails 1/4 Why?

gently caress whoever designed Fizz. gently caress his entire overloaded kit, but mostly his bullshit E and its 4.8 sec cooldown at 40% cdr. There is no reason a champ should be able to be untargetable that often with so much mobility.

Nasus is incredibly vulnerable to being kited; anyone with spammable ranged slows or dashes can walk all over him with relative ease. Lulu, Zilean, Gnar, Leblanc, Quinn, and Orianna are all absolute loving nightmares for him to deal with. He also really doesn't like anyone who can do %hp or true damage; Fizz, Ekko, Fiora, Olaf, etc.

LegalPad posted:Nasus can happily sit under his tower all day, and if your top lane lets up on him for even a moment he will make up for any lost time. If the rest of your lanes aren't already ahead, he's just a countdown to doom timer. I wasn't just talking about countering him in lane, I mean in teamfights too. Contrary to popular belief, Nasus's powerspike is actually around 20-25ish minutes when he finishes his core, which is usually IBG + Spirit Visage + boots. He goes downhill from there; he is not a super lategame monster unless he has spent literally 45 minutes doing nothing but farming his Q, and if you have let him do that you deserve to lose because you have not punished him for forcing his team into a 4v5. He also gets kited SUPER easily in teamfights by the people I mentioned in my last post.

God drat, a good Azir is complete cancer to play against. He has absurd poke range, can burst almost as well as AP assassins and also has amazing engage/disengage. I don't actually know if he is OP or not, but playing against a good one makes me want to not play this game, especially in lane phase.

Honestly, I'd prefer they just leave Tahm in the dumpster forever. He was the most frustrating thing in the world to lane against ever when he was good, no matter the lane he was in, and I would just rather never see him again.

He's actually a reasonably good jungler. His early clear is super safe and leaves him at near 100% the entire time, and he duels other AD junglers really well.

I just ran into the first scripter I've seen in a long time, a Sivir who sidestepped literally everything I threw at her with the least amount of movement necessary and spellshielded perfectly every time. She spellshielded a gragas ult I threw from brush that wasn't warded, meaning she had maybe a tenth of a second to react to me being there. Such a frustrating loss, having their entire team call us trash for thinking she's scripting when "obviously she's just better than you"

Sona post-nerf trip report: still freelo The nerfs barely hit her. She's still kinda mediocre early game, but the second you get your core you turn into a walking Locket that can also mini Sivir ult and stun. Ardent Censer + Chalice (into Athenes) + Eye of the Watchers is the core, with Ardent being the allstar of the build.

blah_blah posted:Deathcap is indefensibly bad on Sona. You don't even have enough AP to get much value out of the passive. Meanwhile Ardent Censer costs 2400g. Dcap is perfectly fine as a 5th or 6th item for super lategame Sona, but ONLY if you're not being focused in teamfights (which you should be, because you're supposed to be walking around dropping 300 strength shields on all allies every 2.5 seconds). I find that I get focused a lot, so I tend to buy Zhonyas or Spirit Visage, based on what's hitting me. Visage is no joke on Sona, you can heal yourself for utterly stupid amounts with it.

I mean, I can kinda see his point; if you were winning a game in Starcraft/WC3 it was generally accepted that you waited until your opponent says gg, then you can reply back with gg. That said, it was also bm to NOT say gg when you lost the game, so maybe it's a moot point? I don't think anyone means anything by it when they say gg, unlike gg ez.

ArbitraryC posted:Blame the jungler is a meme but boy does it suck when you're jungler is 0/x/0 and behind on farm to their jungler that is y/0/z. A passive jungler who just sits around farming all day while your opposing immobile lane is pushed up and still somehow manages to be behind on gold is a really easy way to completely lose a game you had almost no control over. I die a little more inside every time I see this. Playing against like, Ashe/Soraka bot lane who are shoving us under the tower with no wards, and our jungler is off farming. The extreme tilt factor is when he shows up five minutes later when they're not pushed, fails a gank and then says "I thought you said it wasn't warded"

When I hit Diamond 5, I was pretty sure this was just about as toxic as it was going to get, and boy was I wrong! D3-2 is filled with the most hate filled rage I've seen in a long time, and it honestly blows my mind that people can say this kind of poo poo in chat nonchalantly. Miss ONE skill, ever, and you're a "worthless piece of trash that should never have bought this account, kill urself". Like holy poo poo, why do people do this? Raging at someone for five minutes straight in a game has never and will never result in them being like "oh I see my mistakes now, let me play better", it just tilts them more and makes them play worse My personal favorite is the bronze-style blame game where someone makes a completely idiotic mistake and instead of owning up to it, the mistake HAS to be someone else's fault. The difference is, bronze players often don't know they made a mistake; diamond players can usually tell when they hosed up, so it's even more rage-inducing to have them go on a rant as to why it's someone else's fault that they were pushing bot with no wards and got 1v3'd.

Man I seriously don't get this. My MMR is high relative to my rating, so shouldn't that mean that I will get comparatively more LP for wins and less for losses because the game thinks I should be higher rated? Instead, my last 10 games have been +12-17 for wins, and -20-25 for losses. I'm now 10-6 win-loss over the last week or so, and I'm at lower LP than I was when I started. This might make sense if I had low MMR relative to rating, but I don't.
