Do you guys think Summoner's Wrath is useful? I feel like 10 more AP after Ingite is pretty worthless since I only use Ignite when they're really low on HP and running...
Also, me and my team destroyed a couple of guys with 700+ wins that were trying to troll us in a custom match. It felt so good

Jayce is surprisingly fun btw. The possibilities his ultimate gives really allows you to experiment with builds. And there's nothing more satisfying than chasing down a guy with shock blast and place an acceleration gate in the last second to boost the shock blast and then run through it, transform to hammer and finish him off with a leap jump (To The Skies!) I don't know if that made any sense

Played him, he's amazingly fun to play. I'm sure people will pull off crazy things with his abilities.
Sorry to return to this, but it seems we've been misunderstanding each other. gp10 runes only exists as seals and quintessences - I was talking about armor marks for the support.

So I've been in two matches with Veigar support (one against and one on my team). They both did pretty well, which got me thinking... Viktor support.
I mean they both have traps (Veigar is a little better, but you get more range with Viktor when upgraded). And I'd argue Viktor can poke better with his laser.
I wanna try it out. Mostly cause I don't have Veigar.

Akali buffs!!! Those are actually pretty good. Crescent slash triggering the mark is kinda huge for burst. Right now you throw the mark and you have to auto attack to trigger it. But the mark doesn't reset auto attack so there's a bit of a delay before you hit. Coupled with lower energy costs, I'm a fan. Going to dust her off as my Katarina experiment is falling short lol.
I am sorely disappointed by the Miss Fortune nerf though. Double up is the only reason she has such a good laning phase. She doesn't have as good of a late game as the other carries so she needs that laning phase to keep that edge. In my eyes, that's a big nerf and I'll probably end up just having to play graves or Ezreal when I need to carry now
Jerks.edit: whew. Miss Fortune isn't getting nerfed after all:

Lux was already one of those champs that is extremely viable as a mid with the right team comp and now she should really be looked at by the pros. Her and Viktor are two champs I have no idea why no one has looked into seriously.
I also can't wait for the day everyone realizes
is basically a guaranteed lane win.

Some of those changes are kind of bizarre. Like, Orianna got nerfed into uselesslness due to her Q. Then they buffed it. It still wasn't good enough so they buffed it again, right? Orianna was almost feasible, then they just nerfed both the damage and the ratio BACK down? Is it balanced out by the increase on the other skill?
I'm not sure why they'd make quicksilver sash worse, either. People hardly ever use it in low-level games...is it just ultra common at higher level games?
And most of all, I don't understand lowering the cooldown on Fiora's ult so much, lol. :/

she can move her ball quicker now
Hmm, that might make up for it then. I thought there was just a damage increase for her other skill or something, probably my mistake.
I hadn't even been paying attention to Jayce, but his skill descriptions sound super fun (1.0 AP AOE ratio? Yes please?). I wonder how much mana he's going to eat though.
His E skill gives him mana on hit when in hammer form. Wit's End really helps him a lot early on.
Think of it as an indirect Warwick/Malzahar buff. QSS is the most underrated item in the game. It doesn't get picked up as often as it should even in high level play.
Didn't even consider IS. Should be fun given the recent buff. Zeke's Herald as well.

Wards getting a visible timer and an hp bar:
That ward timer is a great idea.
And Wrekt, I have played against teams with both Malz and Warwick, and the double tower dive ult suppress is brutal even with quicksilver.
These are the original Kog'maw nerfs. The Lux buffs are meaningless other than allowing her to spam her ult more often. I cannot believe how hard Nautilus is getting hit in the early game where he shines. Not that I mind at all but it's pretty brutal. The Soraka change will also really hurt her. I am hoping this isn't the end of the changes to Xerath. This is not anywhere near a meaningful compensation to the increased cast time on his ultimate, which really kills him.
I don't like it. It's too busy.Wards getting a visible timer and an hp bar:
I am totally going to jinx myself for saying this but man, Vlad is such a strong champion for me. I don't even have to do exceptionally well in lane (yay blind pick counters). He's a great farmer and a fantastic team fighter. His ult completely changes the tides of battle and his E does huge AE damage when stacked. He's moving up the ranks as one of my strongest champions.
Could probably use some work. Allies see timer, enemies see hp bar?
Something more useful like say, free 20% lifesteal ala nasus should do it. </lolz>
...you could click on wards to check the timer?
I'm so good at this game.
Haha, I had no idea either.
This. Now I can see the time left automatically and not risk face checking and the like just to see it.
Lux buffs ooooooooo yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I don't usually ran out of mana with her, since nice junglers make the effort to throw blue buff my way, and I keep the snare at level 1, so it's not much of a difference, but it's always nice to get some attention :3
Mana buff on laser is pretty useless tho...

While I don't think his passive is great it isn't the real issue. His damage is just extremely low unless he is simply left alone in range for an extensive period of time, and that simply doesn't happen. The cooldown timer of Locust of Power in immense in the early/mid game. His stun is not only unreliable, but it isn't instant and the range is miniscule. As a point of comparison, Ahri's taunt lasts longer, doesn't require a combo, and has 950 range compared to the 600/1000 range on Xerath's mage chains.
Xerath simply doesn't have that much of a siege advantage compared to other casters. He still finds himself too close to the enemy without mobility trying to do sustained damage at a range that is fairly comparable or less than that of his peers. The whole kit is broken.
Why do you need to face check? Just click on the ward.
"To balance globals, we're greatly increasing the cooldowns of them at all levels..."
Shen: +11%
...to be fair, Soraka and Karthus are +30%-33% but still.

Lost a game HARD. Enemy had Vayne. What made it awesome? They had Zilean, Lulu, Shen and Jarvan. If they just replaced Jarvan with Yorick, Vayne might as well be immortal.
I mean holy crap it didn't matter that I withered her and kept Qing her face. She too long for me to get screwed by everyone. It didn't help that bot (Graves+Pantheon) made a catery.
Riot loves to nerf my favorite champs. I still can't believe it when they shaved 20% off Warwick's Q. They could at least make the heal go back to 100% again. There are signs they'll give it AP ratios but who builds AP on Warwick? Not to mention it's looking like it's 100AP per 1%.

But he already had a nerf. It was a hefty 10% off his base damage. Considering how low the ratios are, that mpen and mana were pretty much what you want for AP Kog.

lol.
i could never check on it since i keep my gpu stats in that corner.
The damage nerf was nothing. The mana nerfs are neccesary. AP Kog is still viable.

10% off the main bulk of the damage, you kidding? You wouldn't even try to start building serious AP after spending 6k for Sorc, Tear and Rylai. You might even delay it further if you opt for a Catalyst somewhere.
AP Kog'maw still does a lot of damage. His power isn't in each hit of his Artillery doing loads of damage, but the fact that he can spam it endlessly without serious repercussion. You are still doing percentage based damage on targets, how can you complain about that? He is simply too good at a range.
As for your build I'm not about to cry over the fact that you can't do any damage after building one low AP item by mid game.
Doesn't the stun range increase if you set up the range boost? That should at least give you a range that's not "miniscule".

Akali free week. Such a good low-level stomping champ since no one buys pink wards.
1000 range vs. Ahri's 950. You have to root yourself. Your root has a cast timer. You can only get the stun off if you combo E+Q. Your E has a slow missile speed. Your Q has a cast timer. Even your R has a long cast timer now. By the time you want to put CC down you are already in trouble, and have probably just put yourself in a worse position.
...you could click on wards to check the timer?
I'm so good at this game.
LOL! It definitely helps save time. Say you're about to cross a ward that's about to run out. Just check the timer and go ahead and place the ward. Otherwise, you'd probably keep crossing the ward, notice it ran out, go back to place the ward, then get 5 man ganked to death!
Don't worry, mid-level also rarely buys pink wards.
