@zoneseeeeen@Spideraxe30 Dusk & Dawn proc healing, more passive healing from AP ratio and more frequent procs with D&D. Riftmaker healing. Faster auto-attacks for more healing. Did I mention healing?
@LoLSupports@CoachlessGG Hardly matters when the item going away is the least or second least built item in the game depending on the patch. Besides, we just got Bandlepipes and Diadem (plus Protoplasm Harness for the select few tank supports).
@CoachlessGG@Citriclol I don't think Bork is the issue, rather that people don't know what runes and items to go with it. Stats from last patch seem somewhat promising. Bork gives pretty much the same functionality as Kraken, so I would expect it to at least be a situational alternative.
@Necrouwu Hello? He was:
-A support main off role in top
-Playing against a really bad matchup (Malphite)
-Playing a champion that requires you to know your matchups, needs to get ahead early, and is useless from behind.
All things considered, 21 deaths seems about right.
@FirePhoenixIsMe@zac_gaming__ 1. Faster passive aura activation (Q/E hit + AA, or two AAs)
2. 40% AP dmg on-hit passive
3. Spammable spells allow frequent procs
4. Good against high mobility champs that can dodge his skillshots
5. Gives all the stats he wants
6. Better splitpush in top, faster clear in jungle
@CoachlessGG It's a 128% efficient rush item that gives every stat that's important for the kind of champs building it, and a ridiculous passive on top. No shit it's OP.
Heck, even Warwick is building the damn thing. D&D second seems to be doing quite well on him
@CoachlessGG People probably buy Mercs too much just for the MR. There's also skill involved in using them properly (dodging avoidable CC, buying Mercs vs unavoidable CC, using the reduced CC to actually avoid follow-ups). Steelcaps use-cases are straightforward and basically plug-and-play.
@Citriclol Here's the numbers for the past 7 days. Most of the data on E max in the original post is likely from the initial hours when she was OP and Q max hadn't fully caught on yet. There might be something there, but not maxing the skill with flat CDR first just doesn't make sense to me
@CoachlessGG I'd guess Shield doing poorly is a mix of:
1. More volatility due to top quest and more ignites
2. Homeguards reducing the penalty for being forced out of lane
3. Playing aggressively to win lane and snowball just being the best strategy for maximizing the odds of winning.
@hakosbaelz I usually go take a walk or something, give all that adrenaline something to do.
...Or spend an hour writing an angry comment about whatever it is that upset me.
@DumbsYT As a Shyvana enjoyer I was hopeful at first, but this new kit is kind of a mess. The passive being reverted to just defensive stats is super lame. Q recast and on-hit CDR have anti-synergy. Dopamine from E is gone because they removed the mark. W is just kinda meh. R is good.
@drewlevin Flashing for fun? Probably yes. I'm just very curious how you'd differentiate that from flashing by accident. If punishing 'unwarranted' resource use leads to innocent people getting punished, then no.
@EmilSutovsky I believe that to judge a person's character you should look at their actions rather than their words. Unless FIDE actually takes action to stop Kramnik's vigilantism, you might as well be condoning his actions. Stop spouting empty platitudes and actually do your job.
