Whoa, wish I had a better jungle sense so I could counterjungle with the new champ. I guess everyone's jungle sense is a bit off with the new jungle, though, so I'm not starting from as far behind as I could be.
Obviously props to Riot on making a female champ from the void.
Look, I'm going to be in the jungle, then i'm going to burrow and target some enemy pings and then charge in their lane like a starcraft lurker. That's all I need to know. I don't care about the other stuff.
She is just doing underground what Lee Sin should have always had.
Yeah, the moment I saw that, I wondered why they didn't give Lee the unique soundwave thing all the time, and the closer he is the clearer they become on screen. I know, too much work.

My guess would be that gimmicky vision modes become frustrating and hard to balance when they're constantly on.
A good example of this is how the blind effect in Awesomenauts basically goes from magical long duration stun in the lower divisions to basically having zero effect at higher levels of play.
so someone leaked rek'sai's basic concept (female, void jungler, tunnels) 15 days in advance
he also said the champ coming up after rek is a piltover ap thief (C???) @TalithPA
and then he agreed with WhyRenektonWhy (the guy who leaked Kalista) that the Ultimate will be DJ Sona
~*take with as much salt as you want*~
That sounds amazing!
I want more Piltover.
And then more Piltover on top of that Piltover
With some Piltover on the side.

while the tunnel mechanics are cool, the rest of her kit is very underwhelming. aoe attack, single target bite, skill shot. Whatever...
Disappointed to be honest, but gotta see how she plays I guess.
"aside from this really fucking cool mechanic her mechanics are boring".
I didn't say that of course, but sure I'll hit "agree" too!
Why does nunu have a 1.0 AP ratio on his E.
That makes no god damn sense.
Also, early game nunu has complete dominance of map vision because you can drive by devour the crabs for free wards.
When I started playing again I was amazed to see Nunu's E was still 1.0 ratio. Seems like something Riot would of taken care of a long time ago. It is hilarious bullying most tops out of lane with it though with his infinite sustain from his Q. Top Nunu da best.

Burrowed - Tunnel
Rek’Sai digs toward a target location, creating a pair of long-lasting tunnels at the two ends of her path.
it'll be interesting to see how long "long-lasting" is
like if you can drop a tunnel on the top side and another tunnel on the bottom side of mid, go back to jungling, and exert pressure just from the possibility of a gank from outside ward range

Atm they last 10 minutes but if an enemy steps on them they are destroyed.
In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

According to red posts, they last about 10 minutes. But, someone can walk over The tunnel to kill it off, and posibly gain gold from it. So if you spot a tunnel, you can destroy it.
Correct, it is perfectly safe to assume that anyone listed as Unranked has a MMR that fits the game, they just don't bother grinding through ranked games.
But Vic, what you aren't noticing is that he is level 23 with only 78 games played. Most likely he has queued with someone else, and probably also is or has been flagged as a smurf.
I think what happened was that one of the Diamond guys on the other team queued with his friend, who although Gold II, also has almost no games played.
So we got a Vel'koz who, er, really shouldn't have been in that match to put it bluntly.
Blue side hits level 2 before purple side is even halfway through level 1 (so glad someone brought that cheese back) and Pantheon solos dragon immediately at level 3.
Think I'm done tolerating SR preseason bullshit for now.

It's a shame that the tunnels show obvious directionality, since that will make it very easy to find the other half of the pair once you find one. I'd love to just stash one deep in the enemy jungle somewhere but there are fairly limited places you can actually do that and have it not get found.
On Purple side, probably try for the bush near the backside of 2nd Mid Tower, maybe the one on the open facing of the Red buff. Then the same bushes on the mirror side. Finding a place to stash one on the blue buff side of the jungle is trickier given how it's a bit more constrained and obvious over there. Maybe the tri bush near the towers, see if you can get range to there from the river bush.

Oh my god the poro wards. Adorable. I have never been tempted to spend real money on ward skins, but now I am seriously tempted.
Maybe if I get my husband to give one to me as a hanukah present...that way I also would not have to face the agony of choosing which one is the cutest....

Its his only reliable means of damage. I mean his ult still has a 2.5 ratio. If you can bush ult when playing AP Nunu you are a god. My best was an insta quadra.
Hmm... yes, so we're all in agreement then. Nunu is a shit champion that should be disabled until reworked.
He's unbelievably brutal in this jungle because you can drive by wreck champ packs with little to no recourse.
Not to mention that you basically get permanent river vision because you literally just walk by consume + snow ball and the crab is dead.
Then once you get 40% CDR you perma slow people with a no skillshot, decent ranged projectile that has a 1.0 AP ratio (WHY?!?!)
Like, i'm not proud of my match history right now, but damn if he isn't effective as hell. I can challenge opposing junglers with impunity because most of them can barely do a first clear and I spend 90% of my first clear at 100% hp.
I still haven't figured out a build I like, but it generally seems to be add stats, don't give any fucks.

Leave a tunnel around, and well....

All I'm going to say is that back when I played Dawn of War 2 a lot, I mained Ravener Alpha.
Tunnels? I FUCKING LOVE TUNNELS.

Some interesting news. A much needed nerf to ranger's smite CD. Changes to Jax, Sejuani, Shen, Shyv, Yasuo..
