d0grent posted:Why are they reworking irelia she's fine Ball of stats the champion. She only does well if she's ahead because she has a very low impact ult, a 'gimme statz' skill and two active ones that require her to go in on someone. If she's good she's autopick because she crowds everyone with shittier stats out, if not you don't have a reason to pick her besides really liking trinity force procs. EDIT: Also because she does so little with the 'telekinetic bladesman' fantasy that is just cool as hell. She hits you with the flat of her blades, she gets a lil shiny glow inbetween them and she chucks weak-feeling versions of her weapon pieces out. Only Bladesurge is really a decent representation of what she should be doing right now.

Tales of Woe posted:I think every 'VGU' since Sion has been good and all of the duds have come from the 'class reworks' where they rework a bunch of champs at once. They seem to have stopped doing those luckily. This is true I think. Going by this list of Full Relaunches in order... http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Champion_updates -Karma: was a dud for a while gameplaywise. Today a hotly contested pro pick. -Trundle: Didn't really change. Doesn't count for or against. -Sion: Huge success. -Poppy: Huge success. -Taric: Huge success. -Warwick: Huge success. -Galio: Huge success. -Urgot: Probably the most debatable one? He has an actual role in the game but I think some people miss his chasers. I'd call it a big win myself though. -Evelynn: Huge success. It's the reworks that aren't full relaunches where poo poo gets sketchy and their track record is worse. But the total remakes have been almost certainly all good for the game by a lot.

Bad Kenching means the ADC that should've lived with 50 HP survives with 500 HP, but the enemy ADC that should've died limps away with 300 HP and you lose later on because of passing up advantages.

misguided rage posted:Nah she plays pretty much identically out of lane. You're right though they're not on the same level, Zoe is somehow even less fun to play against. Zoe is less bad than Nidalee because she's not mobile like Nid was. That doesn't mean she's good necessarily, but what made Nidalee trash is that you could never ever engage on her if she didn't want to be engaged. Zoe puts herself more at risk than that.

Sexpansion posted:Brand is literally one of the strongest mages in the game right now. Brand preys on idiots but is super duper feast or famine. If he falls behind he adds nothing due to how high his risk factor is and how close he has to get to the enemy. Picking a champion who's consistent is better for ensuring you'll get strong and smash dudes, IMO, hence recommending Vel instead. (Vel is also more fun to get good at, too - Brand is easier so he may yield more results immediately, but land trickshot skillshots never gets old.)

RealFoxy posted:I think they've said before the skins team just makes the skins they want now, so that's why some champions get 10 skins a year and some champions get 1 skin in 10 years. Some initiative to get "high quality skins" out of the team because they're more passionate about what they're working on Somehow it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that the skin team is all about the pirate titty (I'm glad for this, I'm the target audience because I have like 7 MF skins already  )

Kai'sa being sexy isn't an issue, the problem is she's the laziest kind of sexy. If Riot really wants to have a titty voidmonster survivor they can do it, but it'd be cool if it was at least a little bit more like this... Rather than pretty much this but with shoulder mounted rocket launchers and hair dye.  (And Kerrigan's SC2 appearance isn't even as cool as it could be, it's just a whole lot better than the angle they went for with Kai'sa)

Those IE changes are gonna be real interesting - IE + two AS items mean 80% true damage on your crit damage - so if you have say, 200 AD, you'll be hitting for 160 true damage plus whatever physical damage you can deal to enemy tanks, meaning they're gonna pop really hard to ADC autos.

Lord_Magmar posted:It lets him run away faster after the fourth shot, as the MS bonuses will stack, more importantly it guarantess his first shot will also be a crit, which is huge for Jhin. And he can still pop a dancing grenade after his fourth shot for extra damage if needed. But it's definitely more about the critical first shot because that + firecannon range = broken poke.

It's the other way around. MR is much easier to build for ADC than armor. Edge of Night and Maw are both useful and you can grab nullifying orb too if you need it. By contrast trying to survive an angry rengar who wants you dead is just not possible on certain ADCs.

I thought about it for a bit and there's just no way Pyke isn't broken as gently caress. Like ask yourselves if there's a gank shaco couldn't pull off with a stun and a pull on his kit. Pyke feels like he's gonna break the game by chainganking midlane even if he's a lovely botlaner.

pog boyfriend posted:i seriously have doubts as to the stats that they are working with. i am picturing a guy taking this on udyr and just slaughtering an entire team. going to call shenanigans on these stats -- but more importantly, are we rocking with damage taken off before or after reduction I checked, the answer is before. So it's way less powerful than it looks since it works off pre-mitigation damage. A level 11 Kayn has 67 armor, so a 200 AD autoattack hits him for 120ish damage. Spear reduces the 200 damage to 170, which then becomes 102. Not nearly as broken as it looks otherwise.

pog boyfriend posted:i learned adc in the "4 man diving bot every 3 minutes" meta, and let me tell you: adc is better now than it has been to play in years. only season 2 had the role really be stronger, and that was mostly due to the role being unbalanced This Botlane had a period where it was flat miserable to play during the Butt Party era. Nerfing the roam power of mid went a long way towards making it actually fun to play again, and these days ADC is pretty good. Really the only way it could be better is if the class as a whole was overpowered and that's both bad for the game and too much to ask.

Hey Mash, you play a lot of MF, does Stormrazor work like I think it does and make any random Q bounce into an autocrit? Because if so that item is even dumber as a rush option on MF than I thought it was (and Stormrazor>Duskblade>LW feels pretty close to a dream build on MF as it is anyway).
