Actually, Devourer+BotRK as strong as the combo is are his more boring offensive item. BotRK in general is boring on him. An offensive build for Xin Zhao is more enjoyable when he's building AD & Crit which generally means Ghostblade + IE and tank from there on out.
xin is interesting if only because you CAN build devourer on him (not required), and if you do you're still a really strong early ganker so you don't have to be the afk farmer. like most of the time you lock in a devourer jungler and people go "ok, i won't have to worry about seeing him for a while" but when it's xin you're like "oh crap".
then you realize xin isn't that great in teamfights late game, so as long as you are 5v5ing and NOT doing skirmishes you'll win.
if you're locked into skirmishes with him well gg

Hey guys, I think you need to read this super IMPORTANT video about how hard Riot has to work to make their chroma packs. Even though it may look easy when done on person's computer, Riot has to make chromas for 67 million+ people and it takes a lot of man hours for translations and to pass business checks. Maybe after watching this video I think you'll have a new understanding and respect for how hard the skin team at Riot works to improve the customization options and enhance your league experience thank you

Xin is really good in teamfights he's just not that great at initiating and diving the carries. This is particularly true if you build him with gobs of CDR (which generally means moving away from a Devourer centered build).
Even though he's labeled a fighter, it's more accurate to think of Xin as a two-faced champion - 50% tank and 50% assassin. By that I mean either play him as one would a tank, peeling for your carries, or as an assassin, waiting for someone else to initiate and absorb the first wave of damage and then jump on their carries. Just don't try to do both by jumping in first into their backline.
When a teamfight breaks out, Xin's best go to strategy is to stick near the carries and not engage a target until the opposing tanks, fighters, or assassins are on your carries. Then, ult them away for very potent peel, E-W-Q onto the highest threat to your carries and help eliminate the target. All basic abilities should be off CD once the target is down, so then it's a matter of using those abilities to jump on their carries for lock down and clean-up.

Well obviously if they were to split the servers then the east server wouldn't be in Chicago.
Did server move happen??
or is Guac's ping talk unrelated.

ahri passive pretty much gutted on pbe: Essence Theft (Passive) healing changed to [3/5/9/18 at level 1/6/11/16] from [2 + (1x Level)*
pretty fair tbh, ahri's kind of too safe, tho i bet like it'll feel really bad since the healing is so poor
also leblanc w speed buffed a bit, which i guess is ok.
like, i love sion cos hes like all skillshots
i wish more melee champions had skillshots

i just dontlike melees that i feel you dont have much of a way to get away from once they get close to you

Pretty sure Telus and Riot already are partnered, it says so on their server move roadmap, I've always gotten ~20ms when playing on Telus internet in BC, and ~30ms on Shaw.
Switching back to Telus next month
Also the Leblanc nerf (bit of a) revert (i think it was 1600 before?) is nice, it's pretty ridiculous just how much slower her w is on live.
and zky remember there's still an AP ratio on the ahri passive.
Pretty much. Pick Order > Call Order 100% of the time. If it bothers you that much, wait for ranked team builder, it's coming out soon™. Hopefully it replaces ranked draft entirely, since I don't want the queue times to be like normal team builder.
Who calls support in ranked? Finding true supports in ranked is like finding a golden idol in a bad Indiana Jones knock off. Just get last pick to do it.
Funny you should say that, the general complaint is that after Xin E's in he's easily kittable (he isn't).
I'd be down for more skill shots on melee, but at least they're trying to make melee AAs more interesting like in the Fiora rework.

Shaw is also partnered.
What I'm saying is that until the servers are live on Chicago they can't get work with Telus, Shaw, etc. so even though I'm getting ~82ms to Chicago right now it'll be lower after all routing work is done.
Oh yeah that makes more sense
personally i didnt mind much the w nerf, adding counterplay is nice and it didnt feel that slow to me when playing her
the ratio's pretty worthless during laning which is the only point her passive matters so i duno
it's a decent nerf, no one plays ahri because of the sustain and she's still the same champion as before so i don't mind the nerf
yea thats why i didnt like specially talk about xin but more like someone like shyvana
in general i always felt like melees should have a higher mechanics skillfloor outside of just getting close to you so you can outplay them and all that

Honestly I think Ahri's passive is boring as shit. Sure it's useful and thematically coherent but conditional spell vamp is just bleargh
Plus needing to have the fucking green ruins her skin ideas and that's unnaceptable

Asking for a role politely is your best bet at getting said role. Pick order is still king but as long as you make it clear what you want you'll still get said role 60% of the time even in low ELOs.
Unless you want to play mid, in which case pray you are high in the pick order.
People that call support in ranked usually don't stay in the same division for long
yea its a pretty lame passive

I hope you make fun of him and tell him if he wants more chromas to just change the contrast on his monitor
what is this new Fiora like to play? Isn't that a bit silly how you have to run around the target to hit those "vital points"? Or is that a lot of fun?
Looking forward to next week's rotation. Maybe she'll be there or someone else I havent played yet
Thanks

Targeting vitals is fun as fuck, but I can't talk about her balance because people don't let me fucking play her and I haven't had the time to queue up in team builder for top lane
huh looks like Warwick and Xin zhao are 2 champs I need to look into sometime yo
I got warwick with the starter pack but never even used him yet
I do this and people are unbelievably rude. Makes me not want to give up roles when others ask for it.
