EPTLike there've been games where all the players are definitely Very High but because someone afked, griefed or left it dropped down to High or Normal because the quality of the game was lowered.

If you have a game of like 10 smurfs where almost everyone gets over 400 gpm or something I'm sure it'll be put down as Very High but their MMR is not necessarily at a super high point. Very High does tend to associate with better MMR only with regards to the fact that higher MMR players will usually on average have a game that has the characteristics required for a Very High classification.

In what situations? it's good on INT "carry" characters. as well as on people who smoke gank frequently as the range of atos is good. it's still niche-y and hasn't been fully explored for sure. I feel it's pretty good on leshrac and lina though they both have very powerful items they could build for the same cost so it's on a per game basis. also good on necrolyte but again there are a lot of items that are good on him too. | ||

Otherwise, it's still the tits, and while lightening is becoming popular again, your ult is still super-teamfight. | ||

Otherwise, it's still the tits, and while lightening is becoming popular again, your ult is still super-teamfight. Max all 3 skills by Level 12 is usually what I do. Either stun + lightning, or stun + edict, depending on matchup. It just seems like you lose so much mana using pulse, and you have to sit in the middle of everything, where you die too fast. | ||
