They need to do a Taric VU. Lux is super generic anyways.
Yup. Irelia could use one. I can't stand her octopus hair.
exactly why she needs one
taric is adorable in low-res already
yea irelia could borrow some conditioner from katarina
I just...simply can't believe this is the case. Not calling you a liar - if that's what you found than that's what you found - and definitely going to test it out on Xin Zhao once I'm done trying out Aatrox and Rengar for jungle picks, but it makes no sense.
Let's say you pick up the upgraded spirit item around the 15 minute mark (a bit on a long side, and I recognize getting fed early, not buying boots, etc. can reduce this time to ~10 mins or less) then let's assume an average match length of 45 minutes, that translates to 1200g maximum which in most (all?) cases isn't going to happen. Now, let's take into account the difference in item cost, the gold advantage is now down to 850g. Let's take into account 10 wards used over a 30 minute span (could even increase that amount, whereas a 10 minute final spirit item happens when things go well, a 10 minute Wriggle's is rather common). That's now a 100g advantage.
Your findings are just so hard to believe (no offense intended). They're so egregious to the intent of Feral Flare as a farming item there's no way that slips past Riot...or not, it's not like the Wriggle's line hasn't been fucked for about a year now.
Nobody plays him because he looks godawful (the 0 mechanics kit typical of old champions is also a factor, but certainly not the main), look at how Sivir went from forgotten in the abyss to one of the most common marksmen. But anyways Taric MUST be before Sion, I don't understand how they keep doing other champions before Taric, he's just so bad. Stands out like a day without server issues in EUW.
Meanwhile Thresh.
are you implying that thresh is currently anywhere near as strong as Taric was during the launch of preseason 4?
because he's not. taric was goddamn poppy without the awful laning phase
you'd rather taric was op than thresh? :I
yea that's also true
early s4 taric was hilarious
Jungle Taric was OP just after his rework. Holycrap, the damage u could dish out combined with his 'braindead' point-and-click stun was way too good. Together with his free armor aura on his W and he was like a god. Thresh is imo in a good spot.
I miss jungling with Taric. 
rest of the skin videos up and also zed skin: http://www.surrenderat20.net/2014/04/44-pbe-update.html#more
zed skin shadows look super weird, i imagine they won't look like that in the game or it'll be super confusing

I had thought Guinsoo had left Riot too. Can't fucking wait
On an unrelated note, pick Irelia Vs Jax, get completely and utterly fucked, pick Fiora Vs Jax, slap his shit all game. Top lane, how do you even work

Just blow him up.
Eh. Jungler gold is pretty much all dependent on big monster kills. Conservation/Wriggles gold generation is everything to junglers.
Main reason why junglers can build a brutaliser after their spirit item and still have tanky items mid game.
Edit: shit, I'm becoming more and more like double posting boken. This damn avatar.
Fake-boken, please. ;-;
I think if you can get a tower or two, or dragon, that's worth more than a couple of jungle monsters. This is especially true since towers don't respawn and your whole team gets the gold instead of just you.
Presumably it is on a case by case basis though. And as I and maybe someone else have pointed out, it can get difficult to kill big monsters midgame since your laners leave their lanes and start taking jungle monsters instead of minion waves.

ah that's unfortunately pretty vague
i wonder how much they'll change, riposte as a mechanic is neat but is done a disservice in its current iteration and blade waltz is just cool

The new Butcher mastery felt pretty good
Yeah but you still gank when you counter jungle. You don't just counter jungle all game and do nothing out of it.
Of course you'll fall behind if you stay in the jungle all game and let the enemy jungler push down your turrets.
You counter jungle when you screwed up timing and did a misprediction on where the enemy jungle is (and you can't gank any other lanes safely). You can do it when your mid lane is pushed into their turret and you have nothing else to do.
And I think you guys are forgetting that you can kill the enemy jungler in a counter jungle attempt.

the few karthus games i played i just afk farmed until i had deathcap, void staff and 4 zhonya's while ulting every 40-32 seconds. won every game, most damage dealt in every game. [usually by an extreme margin too]
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
RIP in house games.
New patch came out at work?
Guinsoo on Fiora
I really like what they're going with. He's kind of right, she is pretty boring in her current state. Not to mention her ult is probably keeping her weak. Their plans kind of generate hype for her. Who doesn't love outplay potential?
Hi guys. I'd just like to weigh in on what some of the Fiora goals are. The main problems we see with Fiora's current kit are that thematically, she doesn't deliver on the fantasy of being a skilled duelist/fencer, and mechanically, her game presence / play pattern / role doesn't line up with being a skilled duelist/fencer.
As far as the duelist fantasy goes, at least when I think of Fiora, I expect her to be extremely mobile but not just going in, she needs to be good at dancing in, out of, around and about combat. She should be about finding weaknesses in the opponent's play and finding the proper occasion to go on the attack. She shouldn't be about running in and bursting enemies down, she should be poking them down over time.
Mechanically speaking, I'd expect a duelist type champion to be mechanically intense. I expect opportunities to use my abilities at optimal times to counter out the enemy's champion. I want to have a lot to keep track of, but with clear success cases when I do well.
At the end of the day, live Fiora is a ball of stats with some untargetability thrown in; she pushes her buttons pretty much as fast as she can without a second thought, and she's also extremely snowballey. In short, she's bland with no cool opportunities to exchange gameplay between her and her lane opponent.
Some of the current goals including switching Fiora from an assassin to a melee DPS, and moving her lane from top to mid/jungle, and adding tons of 'outplay' functionality on her kit, as well as more mobility especially in terms of being able to disengage and re-engage at optimal times.
I can't share too much of exactly what the plans are for her kit, as I'm sure it's going to change tons during development, but I'll leave this here to hopefully stir up some excitement for our favorite rapier wielder. Also bear in mind this is an early, experimental Blade Waltz, and could certainly change drastically between now and remake launch time.
I also understand it's hard to understand exactly what this sample Blade Waltz does, given the lack of context on her basic spells... but hopefully your imaginations run wild
