Jinx' excitement only picked up with the pre-release marketing as well as her music video. Prior to that people were mostly bitching about her kit being plain, her being another ADC and her in-game model being inconsistent aesthetically with her splash art. Considering Yasou is likely weeks away from release, the comparison between the two doesn't really hold up outside of discussing their appearances... which is the only area I'd agree on (him being a by-the-books design).
Don't forget his ultimate having well over a whole screen's worth of range if someone gets knocked up through other skills than his own Q, including Vi ult. It's hilarious.
Dude has a great track record thus far yeah. Xypherous too, before the switch to a number-crunching position on the design team.
It's free.
He doesn't feel satisfying to play. Everything just feels... soft, like I'm just hitting enemies with pillows?
With a 6-item build like Infinity Edge - Bloodthirster - Infinity Edge - Bloodthirster - Black Cleaver - CDR boots you'd damn well hope you're able to solo baron.
Lucian hits real hard come late game and trades pretty well early on in lane every time I see a good Lucian play.
Vital champions for which role? The ones you have are mostly fine picks already, but you'll need to clarify what you're looking for as well as overall balance being fickle right now.
Personally, vital champs are all around picks that aren't *too* situational. They tend to blend with most comps and aren't countered very harshly. aka safe picks
I was looking to expand my pool to fill more roles. I needed a siege champ. I don't like Nidalee anymore. I play Ziggs close to teamfights rather than 24/7 poke. AP Kog got nerfed hard and is difficult to play in a solo lane. I meant essential as in "now I have something good for every situation".
I like the guy, but Riot dropped the ball with him. Complete miscast for someone like Yasou (where's the Lee Sin- / Yi-esque accent?) and given that he played the dragon parasite in Skullgirls, I'd much rather have him be Ao Shin with Riot seemingly insisting to fulfill their "look at which big-name voice actor we hired for you guys this time!" quota.
That's fine, we had a misunderstanding then over two different personal definitions for "essential".
Working on the next interation of his rework. Xelnath allegedly got enough worthwhile feedback, so they wanted to remove Xerath's until further notice so that people would focus their attention on other matters in the mean time (like Skarner's rework).
Nah, her playstyle isn't that up close and personal even though she can be played that way in top lane for instance. Regardless, with CDR (like Unholy Grail) the cooldown on her mantra is low enough to just throw out an Empowered Q at 'random' when sieging the map while your team patiently waits, and have it change the outcome entirely if you land a good one (similar to a Nidalee spear).
It was hilarious. I liked it.
well he made darius so I'm not entirely sure
gragas isn't really worth it anymore since they've nerfed him to the ground this patch
cool, tho I have blackfrost already >
