No point in getting him at 7800 since it's very likely you won't get to play him outside of Team Builder

I need to play right now.
But after getting enough sleep.

Buy him now. You'll never see him at this price again!

He looked mediocre tbh. The small delay on his ult whack make his damage look janky.
Why would you nerf Righteous? It was OK item to get if you want tankiness, but now its useless. I haven't seen much complaints about it, then why?
Also, nerfing the AP of Hourglass where may supp has it as the only offensive item?
Haunting Guise, RoD, Lyandras are more expensive...
I am not happy with this patch at all.

Righteous Glory was anything but ok. The active was too strong for a 60 second CD.
Also what supports besides Morg even buy Zhonya's?

No.
Sejuani doesn't have the base cooldowns necessary to fully utilize Runeglaive, or any sheen based item for that matter. That said, if you find yourself in a position where you want to build for damage, Liandry's recent AP buffs will make the item even more attractive for Sejuani, the changes to Rylai's slow application benefit her kit, and even with the loss of ~150 health at full stacks, RoA's AP stack buff might make it better for AP tank junglers.
On top of that, new Abyssal Scepter on the PBE has been tweaked slightly in the last PBE patch, so that item's changes are still go and should be great on AP jungle tanks like Amumu, Sejuani, and Zac who can get away with skipping early CDR in their builds.
Reckon I'll be practicing support (Tahm motherfucking Kench!!) and my ADC picks (Ashe and Jinx) this patch. I really don't feel like dealing with Devourer junglers, playing as or against.

Welcome to the league of legends where bot lane doesn't mean shit and your jungler is the main carry.

So wait ppl are now taking smite on adc. I think it has finally gone to every role now.
Do you guys think that riot would ever make it so that you can only have 1 smite on a team. Or do they not mind having smite on everyone. They could also take smite all out like dota, but I don't think they would do that.

No, people are just trying out stupid shit. When the hell are you going to fully stack up devourer as adc?
Taking smite makes the laning phase weaker, so I don't see much of a problem with laners taking smite as a concept. Devourer might be broken, but that can be nerfed.
Get 30 kills ez pz

Drag gives 5 stacks. Was watching QT play Vayne and both he and Yi had a nearly sated devourer by 20 minutes while being like 3/4
I remember saying back when the S5 changes were still on the PBE that giving putting so much power into Smite was going to cause issues as time went on, not that I'm a prophet or anything. Just seemed even then it was overly convoluted nonsense. Using Riot's vernacular, giving yourself "design levers to pull" is nice and all, but you're still stuck with only two arms to pull those levers.
I'll say what I've been saying for years now, seems like going back to season 3, get rid of Smite, use the mastery tree instead to differentiate laners from junglers, and otherwise get rid of anything that makes junglers special little flowers, like their own item lines, etc.

Do you not have to lasthit the Dragon to get 5 stacks?

Yeah. There seems to be a bug going on that sometimes Drag assists don't give stacks but once that's fixed may God have mercy on bot lane

Where's Gentleman Gnar =_=
Just played him. Feels better than before but after playing only Swain for so long, going back to him made me realize he's not that great, haha. He really struggles against any kind of mobility and is easy to shut down.
The liandry's buffs are big though. RoA seems better too, I'm able to keep ult up for a bit longer. I built a WotA for the hell of it, and it wasn't super great. Overall he's better but still not a top tier midlaner.
Good thing there isn't a smite upgrade that reduces incoming damage by 20% and applies an on-hit true damage DoT, has two stacks worth of use, and is up every 45 seconds maximum.
Goddamit.
What's the reasonable counter here, double ignite bot lane? If the opposing ADC isn't presumably running heal or barrier then do you want to max out kill potential in the first ~10 mins?
Hmmm, might be a good time to practice my few mid picks like Ziggs.
For the recond I'm not saying Sated Devourer on ADCs is actually an issue yet, but I'm getting really tired of the convoluted mess upgraded smites have been causing for most of the season. Thank god I play support too so I have a nice place to call home away from the weird shit.

Multiple smites sounds like a fun idea but it just ends up fucking everything up. Champions like Vi shouldn't have access to a bloody ranged slow even though it's meant for champions like Shyv. Then they add smite charges on top of it so you don't have to choose between smiting a camp or a champion.
Ditch all that shit, ditch smite charges, go back to Spirit Stone items and call it a day.

No you just need to have attacked it close to death for the assist.
Well I'll be!
They're not having that smite until quite a bit into the game and they have to put 800 gold into it.
With a standard heal + ignite/exhaust lanes, you should aim for early fights which you should win on virtue of having superior summoner spells. Even if you don't get a kill you should get a gold advantage which goes further once they buy jungle item. With say a 1200-1500 gold advantage, you should have the advantage in a straight out 2v2, and even better in a 3v3+. If you get kills, even better. You could snowball the lane even harder than if they had a more useful summoner spell.
That's how it should work in theory, at least. The smite is like a weaker exhaust + a weaker ignite, I'm not convinced it's better than Heal. Maybe in a duel, but not in a teamfight.

Holy crap jax jungle is strong. Just played a match with him I went 18/6/10.
Do you mean the changed devourer, or is there a different new item?
That's pretty cool. So basically those roles would pop instantly? I like. Too bad my teambuilder MMR is not at all good. I don't enjoy those games in the slightest.
edit: what. They aren't looking for support? It lies.
Yeah I meant the changed devourer my bad
Hasn't teambuilder been that way for a while now? Idk I've actually had a lot more trouble finding adcs lately. Tank meta got 'em on tilt
Also, for anyone who hasn't seen them yet, pink ward's AP shaco top montages are some of the best out there

I think it's time Rito revealed a new adc champ :V

It's not just a matter of being stale, ADC has the worst itemization in the game by far.

There needs to be more item diversity for the role in general.
