I can't find my calc sheet, but every single one of those items was very gold efficient, some of the best in the game. Riot basically took the old gold bonus from S4 and split it between the gold efficiency in the enhancements and in the small jungle monsters.

Her ability to chase is nuts. I made the mistake of letting her hop in my path of retreat, and she used her passive to follow me all the way down. I was too stupid to realize I had absolutely zero chance of running from her. Ever. Auto-attack, hop. Auto-attack, hop. Just hopped me to my death as I ran. However, she dies so damn fast. In the two games I played, Kalista was easy to pick out and kill in half a cough. But I guess that goes with any ADC.
3 games tonight. I've won all 3. Even made my last one ARAM. What is going on tonight?! I've had a bad streak of lose-lose-lose for a good week now.
So, buying a rejuvenation bead on your first back as jungler is pretty much the best thing ever. I'm running armor quints and building straight into raptors cloak after boots and main jungle item. I pretty much always have full health ganks. Plus the cloak's movement speed passive is a great replacement for movement speed quints.
I was thinking that, I am generally terrified of being invaded, but now...? Damn, nightmare fuel.

I'm thinking of starting with Machete+Green Ward, the ward'd just be to keep watch on the other camps in case an enemy tries to invade.
With the small camps with the murkwolves and chicken monsters respawning after 100 seconds, I could steal their jungle while they're busy on mine and maybe go in for a surprise attack if they approach one of their camps
.Because Vi and Jarvan ganks weren't broken as fuck enough.

The design of Elise's skin looks great, though I'm not sure I like the colors.
Too bad the junglers ruined it for the rest of us by getting her nerfed to hell though.
Buffs are kept now, so the only thing you'll suffer from after being executed is profound shame.
Does this include the counter-jungle item after it's been turned into the shittiest of the four?
You say that as if that wasn't terrible enough! ;o
I almost got executed yesterday on Jarvan doing Golems on my first buff rotation. I was tabbed out and someone on voice chat was like "you're gonna die!!!". orz
Come everyone, and join me watch the trainwreck that is going to be Dyrus on Kalista, jungling.

I was kinda expecting Elise to be better in the preseason with old Ancient Golem mostly back and with her clears and whatnot - though her Dragon control took a hit since Drag will just explode spiderlings and hit her as well.

got walloped in my first Kalista game
not fun playing her against Lucian and Thresh when you have a Soraka support
also not cancelling autos is going to take some getting used to.
edit:
team builder please...
dunno why lolnexus shows akali's icon for kalista but there you go.

Boy, after a long day at work I sure could use a quick ARAM game.

I think Diana is really good in the new jungle
You shouldn't queue for draft dominion when you want to play aramBoy, after a long day at work I sure could use a quick ARAM game.
To be fair, that's not a huge disparity.got walloped in my first Kalista game

We got 4 drake buffs, but I kept losing top cuz our Mao barely ganked. Anivia was dominating but we eventually managed to take them out at the 5th drake buff.
Their Graves was afk too oddly enough.

the difference between a silver V Lee Sin who tries to build IE Shiv and a Gold V Poppy is pretty huge
Like it's not two whole tiers or anything, but it might as well be.

How does QSS interact with Naut's ult? There's nothing on the wiki.
Dunno, I've been to D3 mmr, and I didn't really see a noticeable disparity.
But yeah, it's true there's a large difference S5 and G5. I'm just commenting that it could be worse.
Vi's not even broken. She doesn't even compare to Jarvan.
Pretty sure it doesn't. Better hope you have Banshee's or you're Sivir.

Does Banshee/Spellshield pop on the cast of the spell, or the knockup part?
Knockup.
Perhaps you're playing better than a standard D5 then. I have much experience playing with all ranks of Diamond and in my experience there is quite the gap between the three groups D5-D4, D3-low D1 and high D1-master.
It was such a said time too. I was D4, two wins on promos to D3. Then the release of Master killed my mmr.
After a long break from ranked, I'm recovering my MMR, so I guess I'll get a chance to check out what you're talking about again.

I lost both games I played as her because of a shitty Kalista in the first game and 2 afks in the second, but Diana is really really good in the jungle.
Get a Trailblazer and the AP upgrade and you're set.

Ferrio master season 5 incoming.
Yay. It'll be great to break out Diana again.
I still think of "item" as the enchants because that's what gives your stats. So, all the enchants are super gold effective.
Poacher's blows.

Why Riot, why you even bother to make Sona offensive if you are gonna nerf her Q, again and makes her healing a joke while E is the one skill you need to improve.

Clears are kinda mediocre. Some sustain issues later on. Either you conserve skill usage but lose health, or spam W to conserve health but lose mana.
I think she has a much easier time in S4 jungle due to Spirit Stone. She can gank much earlier now though, and can duel if needed.
Those nerfs were much needed. Still, even with the nerfs she's not weak.

No Kalista boundle in sigh in LAN but you can buy her alone.
I guess you are right, still I dont understand the point of her new kit now, I feel she will be more like a hit and run.
I think they are now punish you for healing with healing abilities but let the CC abilities intact to see what happens.

I concur I might just go jungle diana in this match.

I'm seeing junglers frequently behind on XP vs solo laners by a considerable margin, even if they get early ganks off for the kill. At one point I noticed a 4 level discrepancy with a top laner only getting 2 - 3 kills. Shit's cray.
Someone needs to try a bunch of no-jungler, double top laner games, only going into the jungle occasionally to grab a good smite bonus or vision boost. Riot might have accidentally left this feasible.
Ya it'll probably be like that for a little while until good routes and strategies are widely known

Half my games today have had an AFK
this shit isn't fun at all.
also if you play top lane Kalista I will find you and I will end your life
