Can't wait for new Nid.
Cancer for everyone.
Cancer for everyone.
Apparently i have over 56 games played as morg this season. Usually start with Spelltheif/3 pots/1 mana pot/ward trinket. Will get 2 pots and a ward if i think the jungler is gonna be more aggressive. My first rush buy is Spellblade so i can further get that early gold advantage. Then I'll get sightstone/mobi boots/mikaels and finish my FQC. From there, it's all of matter of who's on my team. Is there someone else who can engage? If not, i get Zhonyas for my ult. If i got someone else, Twin Shadows to make disengage as hard as possible. Basically, my goal isnt doing magic damage, it's to be super annoying in every way

BoTRK will amost certainly still be better, specially since the proc got buffed.

I don't give a shit I'm just gonna try it out in at least one game, then go back to using BoRK.

Think he means the passive proc. Which is a lot nicer for an ADC.
I'm curious how absolutely useless the BT shield will be.
As a whole, BotRK is much weaker.

It's not like BT will be any better. Lifesteal got dunked.
I think it's more accurate to say that the BotRK changes align it more with the items original intent and whether it's better or worse depends on the champ. That said I'd expect the active nerf will hurt more champs (particularly fighters/bruisers) than the passive buff will help.
Depends on the lane. I suspect that bot lane will still need Doran's blade since it's the only good source of HP for ADCs, which is very important because the prevalence of catch & kill supports isn't going to be impacted by this patch. Not sure however if you should start doran's though as an ADC, probably champ dependent.

Ziggs build is pretty simple.
Start with Athene's Holy grail for MR and Cooldown.
Then you build the usual AP items: Z. Hourglass, Rabadon, Void Staff, boots is Magic penetration of course.
Final item can be an armor, although Lich Bane is also build on Ziggs since it works well with his passive.
Miss Fortune is the usual AD stuff: Atk spd boots+Statik or Phantom+BoRK, etc.

Looking at Bischu playing Nid, she looks fucking retarded.
Also
Once she gets some AP she's basically gonna turn into Yasuo. Count me in!

Who thought this was a good idea lol

Not happening. With how hard lifesteal will be to get now, having a DBlade to just sit in your inventory will be too valuable.
Rushing athenes may no longer be something you want to do.
Maybe... but how much are you really going to sustain from it early game? Might be better to pots and longsword, then grab a doran after you've scaled up a bit? Overall this sounds like the healer supports might get a big comeback.

If Athene's isn't good anymore people will just buy Morello's instead.
It's not like mages have other CDR options. I always liked Morello's better due to the price anyways.

lol I JUST know read the changes to Athene's XD.
Any characters you plan on trying Essence Reaver on?
I thought they improved doran's? Why would they be thrown to the side? Is it okay if I still buy 4 of them?
Also, does anyone have advice about laning against Fiora with a non-Jax, non-Pantheon, non-Renekton melee character if you have no jungler support? She seems capable of easily getting 400-500 AD and can duel quite well. One of my biggest problems is figuring out how not to feed, since the lane gets frozen near her tower if I don't walk out, and if I do walk out the double dash will kill me.
Also, is her counter only active when the little wind shield appears in front of her? I feel like something else (her speed boost, or attack speed boost?) makes a ringing noise, and whenever I hear that noise I am terrified that Fiora is going to counterattack me, so I don't really know when her counter is active.
Definitely my default path on Tristana and Jinx from here on out until proven it's not the best. I have no idea what to build on Varus for the time being, probably the same.

Whenever you see the wind shield it means the counter is active.
Play Teemo and you can troll her all game long. Even when her Riposte is active, the poison will still hurt her and you can trade well. I love Fiora, I play her a ton, but if someone counter picks me with a Teemo, I pretty have to have a decent jungler to win that match up.
I'd think you'd win that matchup soon as you hit six though. Just bait the blind and ult after.

Looking for non-feeding EU player to duo with so I can try and secure support given its been taken away form me in the last three games. Will pay with hard carrys.

Are you on EU Nordic?
I can't tell. If I can stay connected for more than 3 secs, I'll reply.

FWIW mine is the same on EUN (~40ms). Then again, no one wants to move to EUW.
He's okay IMO. He can snowball his LANE really hard, but a fed aatrox isn't scary compared to a fed irelia or something. He can't really hard carry games. His early game can be good if you play it right, but he can fall REALLY behind. He's got sona level base stats as a melee, so he can be free food when shut down.
He's got a deceptively high skillcap. People often shrug him off as being faceroll, but that's not true at all.

1. No. She's melee with little way to escape ganks and doesn't scale well with AP. If Leona gets rich she would normally go CDR/tank to make use of her W resists and heavy CC. A damage focused build would be less effective in most situations. Her passive requires an ally to be with her for it to do anything too.
2. You do little damage and become a second support very quickly. Your clear speed drops off hard after the first clear or so. You need to understand the game well to be effective (more than other junglers) as you are tower and objective focused, and need to work with your allies to succeed. You have no hard CC and many champions with dashes/blinks are almost impossible for Nunu to gank with the snowball unless they heavily overextend. You require a good AD carry who scales with Attack Speed to be useful late game. Nunu is actually fairly strong but moreso in coordinated play than in solo queue. Sometimes when Riot changes the jungle to make buff steals and counter jungling more effective there will be an outbreak of Nunu players out to ruin their fellow junglers' days.

Thanks
And I'll have to check out the AD caster build on Ashe for ARAM myself as well. I used a regular ADC build with her during the One For All event and it worked out fantastic, so that was my initial plan if I got her in ARAM as well.

I lost against 2 Jungle Aatrox players, dunno how effective Jungle Aatrox is though sad to say.
He is def. a high skill cap character as you need to be careful when playing and not waste his passive.

he has decent ganks and decent clears but the problem is that he is so weak in the jungle. If Lee/Elise counter jungle him and meet him, he can't fight.

I need an Sona avatar, love her using her auras and actual doing some real damage with her passives.
I think her main problem is no one notices which her pasive abilities are in effect, her W mostly
