Where the gently caress is my Taric update already.

I hope for the Taric rework they have an event like they did for GP that disables him except Taric never comes back.

I dunno what the proper way to handle it is. Losing AD to exhaust seems real bad, but not losing anything besides move speed seems real good.

I enjoy jhin

Same. Jhin is a weird champion to get used to, but once it clicks he is amazingly fun. I can't make great use of his traps in the early game, but when team fights start happening if you throw a trap into an escape path or even right into the middle of the fray, you will probably catch a few people for some massive damage, and the W root is great especially from such a long range. Also nothing in the game so far has matched the satisfaction of popping people who think they've gotten away by picking them off with your ult from downtown. Last night I played against a draven who flashed but was just at the edge of the ult range and managed to pick him off with the fourth shot.

What're people building on him right now? I tend to go Essence Reaver into Rapid Firecannon, then infinity edge and Dominik's. I've considered building a BORK on him as Aspd = AD and lifesteal on him is really good later game when you hit ridiculously hard. and the active is minor but offers some movespeed at least. Dunno.

I think if you play him ADC and you don't have a good all in/kill lane you will absolutely get murdered since the reload mechanic means there is a time period you do absolutely dick.

Bork is probably bad.

I would imagine armor pen, long term, would be good. Ghostblade would give him damage from the active as well.

Yeah passive supports have been total poo poo when I've had them, but lux support is probably my favorite with him right now. If lux lands a snare, it can pretty easily combo with Jhin's W, then the aoe slow from lux and a jhin trap makes for easy kills. I assume people are playing him mid more than ADC because his dueling potential is garbage?

I find Jhin to be really fun, but I agree. Picking him vs picking ez, luc, kali, trist, it's needlessly gimping yourself.

I had a game yesterday as Sona/MF facing down a Jihn and Fiddle, and I wasn't really impressed with Jihn. As soon as we got to lane, I saw him dancing around with one bullet left in the chamber and I figured "Hell, i'll just force him to choose between wasting the crit on me and losing CS, or wasting the crit on a minion and punish him heavily while he can't auto". If he had had a better support that was more able to make their presence felt in lane, he might have done better, but it was pretty easy to starve him of CS. Plus, the longer range he's at, the easier his ability are to dodge. At one point I had around a hundred health under my turret, Jihn ulted, and it was trivial to juke all four shots. Later on, he ulted to try and kill MF, and I just body-blocked every shot that would kill her, same as you do for a cait ult.

He looks fun, but probably needs a team (or at least a lane) built around him.

I think what he really needs is a longer basic attack range. His Q as a cs tool is laughably bad, and trying to set up "sick bounces" is really a terrible waste of time and easily will lose you cs. I'm starting to rush rapid firecannon on him because that extra range is when he feels comfortable to play. I really wish he had the longest range in the game, or at least tied cait.

It's his highest damage, lowest mana and best farm ability and leveling it up lowers the cooldown

W is just used to snare people and the mana cost is way too high for laning phase and the damage sucks and it only hits 1 target and can be blocked and has a 14 second cooldown that never goes down and hshdhdnxnvjiodkksjxjdjsiksjdjdjdhxh

But seriously now, I play with a bunch of supports and all of them are more or less proficient at playing mages and midlaners. The most aggro ones are especially good at that, even. I can't even imagine a support that just can't handle a solo lane existing outside silver and bronze.

He's an execute reliant champion that has no burst nor dps, along with having a reload mechanic that makes no sense thematically.
When he's ahead though he can one shot squishes with his ultimate but can never reasonably kill tanks even with 800 ad.
He does have a really neat long range root though so that feels kinda nice I guess.
kog'maw on the other hand makes the enemy adc become suddenly brain dead, yes the music is required.

I'll learn how to properly record video one of these days.

to be fair that game botlane was hilariously bad.
