if u make flash mandatory you shouldn't just allow two more summoners
that'd be cray, unless they're massively nerfed
Or you know...get rid of smite and the jungle items altogether.
i don't think that's a good idea. smite drives interesting gameplay. smite fights are fun, smite buffs are interesting and smite is a decent solution to having to balance the jungle around laners taking camps
Not the point. The goal was to render the rest of her team useless and just burst her down since she has no defensive items. Ofc she's going to do more damage building full AP while I'm building defensive items like Abyssal & Rod.
and i was ahead after laning phase in kills and cs but w/e
abyssal and roa are the op midlane items atm, and lux has poke while annie does not so she's always gonna have more dmg but not that big of a difference, specially if you were stomping as you say
point is, mejais is not a cheese and it's not meant to "snowball you out". lux can go mejais cos she has low risk of dying and can stack it really easily with assists through poke/shield
the stupid thing that lux did was not buy any cdr, probably cost her whatever lead she had on you
Why not use flat damage values with mediocre ratios?
because that doesn't accomplish the same thing. if you think about it, adcs and midlaners have a bunch of scaling survivability as the game goes on that you might not have caught on.
just a few examples: mr/armor from athenes, abyssal or zhonyas. shield from bt. shield from maw. lifesteal in general. plus defensive spells from their allies
flat damage is an early game thing, which is most definitely not tanks' specialty.
the problem with tanks like malphite or nautilus is their damage's overturned, but neither of them actually have % health damage
What does "cleanse against tf" mean?
you use cleanse against tf's gold card so he can't kill you
was just one example of a champion you'd want to take cleanse to cos their dmg is super conditional on that one cc. ie tf, lizzy, ahri
against someone like syndra you'd take barrier cos if u get hit by her stun you probably can't really get out
