Problem with a leash on raptors from mid is that it's almost guaranteed to put mid behind, either because they blew mana or, worse, they're melee ranged and decide to AA and get significant chip damage.
New raptors are really no joke. I was watching Valkrin's stream and he cleared the three blue side camps without using a single pot charge with near 100% health using Kha'Zix. By the time he was done raptors he was at 1/3 hp and he used a pot.
It particularly sucks because making him viable again is as easy is having his passive deal bonus damage to monsters.
"Z-Drive Resonance deals and additional 20 damage vs. monsters."
There, done. Ekko can jungle again. Doesn't even have to scale, Ekko just needs help clearing pre-6. But Riot doesn't give a fuck that Ekko used to have a 30%+ play rate in the jungle.
You'll have to be content with a very short leash or no leash then.
feels so good to have a Gold border after 4 years. Going for the plat border next season. maybe I will be duo with some of the better players here too.
edit: only got the skin. So I went first mao in jungle and won. easy champ. no wonder he was a staple in the meta for years.

Either way, if the original discussion was whether a champion could start Raptors, the answer is still there's no good reason to do so.
talon looks pretty strong to me
also shaco is kind of hilarious, specially if u get like shaco vs shaco on blind pick and it's like traps everywhere
i think riot might be super skiddish about doing anything for jungle ekko since jungle ekko afaik has always been a tank
tank ekko is just really frustrating to play against and riot just wants him dead
fair enough. I wonder if some champs might want to start it though.
Jungle Ekko when it was viable was more AP bruiser-ish. Runic->IBG->Abyssal. Last I checked that's still his best win rate build, but I haven't been following jungle Ekko for a while.
I just don't see why. It's a harder to camp to do than red buff during the initial clear. So you end up losing more health and now you have to backtrack to red buff, which can fuck up early pathing.
maybe i'm misremembering but in my head it was like cinderhulk ibg tank ekko
That build did work too, it just wasn't his highest winrate one. People were experimenting there for awhile.
During the peak of top lane Ekko it was Sunfire->IBG, maybe you're confusing the two? Even now Runic is built 75% of the time and has a higher win rate. Unless you're buying some more health Cinderhulk isn't particularly great.
Ivern jungle now poking around 50% win rate. Feel the tree motherfuckers. He definitely benefits from the jungle changes from what I've seen so far. First info shows that Nautilus may have benefited a lot in the jungle as well, which is fan-fucking-tastic, but I'm holding my breath. First day stats after a patch can be misleading.

No it wasn't, at the height of jungle Ekko's popularity he was Cinderhulk into full tank.
Absolutely not. At no point, ever, in the history of jungle Ekko was Cinderhulk picked over Runic Echoes both in frequency and effectiveness.

You do realize jungle Ekko was a thing long before Runic Echoes was even added to the game right

excuse me, excuse me, Ekko is a time traveler. He time traveled to Runic Echoes and was able to equip it before it came out. Don't correct me.
Did it ever really go away tho.
Tanks in this game are a complete joke and always will be. What can you expect though when they openly say "we intend tanks to be able to 1v1 carries". Forget "1v1", they fucking oneshot carries on a regular basis.
Full tank zac dives in with e, press w, q, and r and now half the enemy team is dead or below 20℅ up and he has more health then he started with, so fun~ such fantastic design~
And now with colossus he can go full ap or whatever and deal 3x as much damage and still be safe as ever thanks to 30-50℅ max HP shield

Yeah who cares about assassins I'm banning the already strong tanks that are now flat out broken thanks to the new mastery
pretty much. I am banning a lot of tanky tops now. it is going to take low elo players a lil bit of time to realize that tanks are stronger now especially tanky supports. knights vow is crazier than redemption

But hows Yorick
On that subject I do like the new support items, they feel like you get a lot more power as a support and can actuallyv contribute beyond just preventing your dumbass ADC from killing themselves
yea. they basically allow you to help a bad adc by keeping them alive longer and snowball a good adc.

Faker on new Talon

Man it looks smoother than expected. Love it when he tower dives then jumps over raptors.

So I saw a post on reddit about how LAS boards where full of people begging for Normal Draft to come back, so I was wondering how my fellow LAN players reacted to this: (reclutamiento normal = normal draft)
Only 1 thread is not about Normal Draft gone...
Pls Rito give me back normal draft ok? Thanks.

This is all they had to do
Yup.
That's all they had to do. Instead the 3 latest toys they released are all looking over their shoulders like bad poster poses whilst accentuating their asses.
I learned I can not play champs no matter how easy they are without a few games under my belt
sorry for that horrific Maokai support loss, team
idk how to mao
Also I think I'm probably just going to Raka my way out of Bronze lol. Trying Sona and Lulu but they require good follow-ups to really work.
Or I could just wait until "Bronze" isn't Bronze-Gold with who's in it lol
Thought I was only one who noticed this.
I just got placed in Bronze 2 after going 5-5 in my promos. The fiora who rekted me was Gold 2 and a fiora main in S6. it is definitely best to wait a lil bit for elos to go back to normal
what i really don't get is what does it mean "katarina unlocked" or whatever
is that just a really dumb branding or are they actually unlocking anything
the quality of the vi toy is pretty good, but i agree, the pose should've been a lot fiercer and meaner. she's a tough bitch that's all about punching, that's not how she should look
the pricing is also pretty nice i think. if they ever do ahri or someone i like at that price i'll probably bite, 150 like tf or whatever was way too much
and if they just reissued ahri nendo maybe the world wouldn't be such a shitty place
my duo buddy and i were like, we'll just rank for reals in duo q and flex will be the new normals draft since who cares about that rank i guess?

ashe and kat look great, vi is ok but yeah the pose is lame and out of character, specially compared to the other two that represent their personalities a lot more accurately. like ashe looks so bitchy, look at em heels, LOVE it

honestly normal draft here was kind of a wasteland, so i don't mind so much

the joke is
that it's how it's like 'unlocking' a champion to use in the client. You 'unlock them'. And now you 'unlock' the figure.

it's very 'inside joke' style of branding.
