    Honestly, I've never really gotten the hand of the cow. Just could never get the combo down.

    I seem to be getting first-pick a lot in draft, so I've just been banning out Annie/Thresh/Riven (because screw that noise) and just picking Leona up for myself or someone else on my team who wants her. And faces are then smited so hard.

    The key to the cow is to try your combo at max W range. I believe it is much harder to pull off reliably when you headbutt from mid to short range. Also people have forgotten how to play against him so you can just look for easy flash Q W combos to punch people into tower aggro or an easy gank.

    Well obviously it depends on the game, but i find that the big items are too expensive unless you get really fed/far ahead. I like tank items better because they allow you to bully. If you're squishy you cannot stand around in front and threaten a root/ult pick. Additionally you can't body block for your ADC.
    That's fair, but I feel that if you just wanted to body block for your ADC and threaten picks, you probably shouldn't have picked Morgana. Shit, pick Alistar, since we're assuming this is trying to counter Leona. Okay, you can't troll shield your ADC, but your durability is better and your peel is better and depending on positioning you can still create a pick.

    It may even just be schools of thought for what you want to do as a support. If you've got Morgana, I think you're all but obligated to want to go deep with Flash and land that perfect ult, which predicates the Zhonya's pick.

    Morgana's peel, with black shield and 3 second root on a 6.6 second CD is actually pretty good. Her pick potential exists regardless of her AP, but its weaker when she doesn't have the ability to force an engagement without exploding

    Hey, looks like the Wriggle's upgrade finally made an appearance.

    That might be a pain in the ass on Warwick and Aatrox, depending on numbers.

    The strength of the item is entirely dependent on how hard that passive hits. how it scales, and how fast both things are.

    Naw, first buy all lanes.

    Just had a very frustrating game as Trist, where I was super fed, but could not win the game because I was the only source of damage for our team. Our only engage was Lee Sin, so the other team just turtled the game out til they outscaled us and I couldnt kill their darius, j4, and twitch fast enough.

    Also, I think that Vel Koz is soft countered by Ziggs, early laning phase is a complete nightmare and the fact that his satchel charge screws your ult means you arent going to kill him in lane.

    How so?

    First ranked match in EUW went as about as expected. our ADC never connected :(. Doesn't matter I got Rengar; please excuse me while I farm top, ward up and drag four of your team members top ult and you all search for me in the wrong direction :D. We won. I forgot how silly rengar is and that q bug is also very very silly. Ahh well gold here I come.

    Right now it's -
    Maim: Basic attacks deal 100 ( + 3 per kill/assist/large monster kill ) magic damage (33% against champions) and heal 12 ( + 1 per kill/assist/large monster kill ) on hit. This damage and heal is increased by kills, assists and large monster kills.

    So with those numbers, against enemy champions it's going to wind up providing a little more damage than Wit's End deals and heal for similar amounts to Warwick, Aatrox and Xin's base heals.

    And Baron gets released as a full-blown champion. No one has slain more champions in the League as he.

    SR has kind of looked like butts since TT got updated but Howling Abyss makes it seem like complete garbage.

    Also I'd really like a Baron update to make it more interesting fight like Vilemaw.

    Tryndamere (the CEO, not the champ) heavily implied that something map-related was coming in early 2014 in his AMA, when asked about why they never did a winter-themed SR reskin. At the very least this map needs an actual home for the Wight camp and new towers/inhibs/nexus.

    Heimer is feast or famine. If you can get ahead you are a terror, if you fall behind, you are pretty useless.

    Also panth jungle is so strong, I predict nerfs. You heard it here first!

    There's also like a 100+ red post thread on GD about feedback regarding the SR map art style. The clues for this having been on the way are laid a mile wide.

    Wait, so he can't burst you for free anymore? He has to suffer your burst in response?

    This is totally fair. I've never been a fan of point-click silences because it's too easy to hit them and make them totally unable to hit back in mid.

    Those are some big Kassadin nerfs.

    That's pretty ridiculous. I could see an argument for moving the silence to his W activation, but removing it entirely removes one of his most signatures abilities.

    Maybe it's an Eve treatment, (which is absolutely terrible game design)?

  • SkutSkutSkutSkut Registered User regular
    Guys guys, and girls, I think Baron may be a bad idea.

  • JoshmviiJoshmvii Registered User regular
    Sure, take away the silence from the anti-mage assassin. Oh wait. I don't see that staying that way. It looks like they changed it to interrupt channels but not silence, and to give him a shield I guess to make up for not silencing, but that's just dumb.

    I want Kassadin to not be too strong, but if he's going to be an anti-mage assassin then he needs tools that make him do that.

    What? Well his passive makes him take 15% less damage from magic damage, so that's a pretty simple thing that makes him better against mages than non mages. And his Q right now silences, which makes him more effective against mages(More accurately more powerful against people who rely on abilities, but the spirit is that it hurts mages the most since their auto attacks do nothing.)

  • I needed anime to post.I needed anime to post. boom Registered User regular
    i mean "beyond what he has"

    his Q is equally effective on mages, most junglers, supports, and some top laners, silence is not an inherently anti-mage ability

    Being that they're changing his damage to scale off of mana, it seems like they're trying to turn him into Ryze. Making him forced to right click things but having a ton of tankstats means he'd be able to blink in rightclick a few times on someone and then blink out over a wall. This makes Ryze even more pointless though.

    He is turning into some kind of super mario ryzeadin. Interesting. This could be good.

    The silence is his thing. And it's been over 2 years since the last champion with a silence, we need more silences in the game, not less.
