EPTDoes Arpen even apply to Acid hunter? If so I can't tell if it's worth getting extra Arpen either from runes or items on him since AS is useless to him and black cleaver is too...

I wonder if she'll be viable at higher ELO? I used to wreck faces with her while I was still reaching for 30, but lately I haven't been performing well with her. Whenever the servers come back up I'll have to try her out again. Especially with the rune changes... I might want to totes rethink my melee-champ rune page. | ||

All the new champions blow. I want them to follow the old path they were on where champions were one dimensional and didn't have the ability to do just about everything in a game. Ashe, Soraka, Alistar; a good portion of the old champions had clear defined roles for the most part. Now all the new champions are coming with the ability to support, carry, have at least one form of cc, etc - and are just gay as shit. It makes games more interesting I guess but it also destroys old champions and how teamfights play out. I have 10k IP but not gonna buy Lux I don't think. And I've bought every new hero since Ezreal. | ||

Catch my drift? ps. Riot is evil. pps. Someone do the math on whether or not these new and improved AD runes are better than armour pen. Also, Utah's troll armour rune page is going to be a lot more funnier nowadays methinks. | ||

Should I buy a set for my carries or will the pen still be useful through the whole game? They've been mathcrafting on the main forums and basically Arpen is still king unless you gain some special benefit from AD. Flat AD runes only match arpen if you fill your whole page with them. AD is better for tower pushing (since towers are immune to arpen) and might mean faster jungling for some characters (faster than attack speed or arpen), but I'm not sure as I haven't done math on that yet and I can't think of a jungler that would really need it (minus jungle jax?). | ||

And I've bought every new hero since Ezreal. creativity takes a hit when the reason they rush out heroes is to make profit off their skin and champ sales? really they should set a limit on how many heroes they want for a limited duration, like at least 3 months period of no new champs and focus on fixing/tweaking their current champ, i'd rather play 50 well designed and original/creative heroes instead of 100+ champs with just rehashed/renamed/reskinned skill that everyone else already have... the last good champ that they made was vlad, pretty original concept of a champ playstyle imo, the latest heroes along the lines of Swain and Lux, are pretty un-inspiring, Rainbow Kamehameha ulti? the only thing that redeems Lux for me is the fact that she's screams DEMACIAAAAAA!!!!!! as well. | ||

Jax typically wants to max Leap Strike (for cooldown+dmg). So, following a standard build with max Leap by 9, 1 point in ult at 6, Jax would have 3 points leftover. OLD build: 1 point in Empower, 2 points in Counterstrike With the changes, Empower doesn't enjoy flat 5s cooldown anymore...so it's a mini nerf. Not to mention Leap Strike's AP ratio was lowered by 0.1. Of course, his ult is way better now with that +MR active. | ||

Makes sense to me. Guess I'm probably nor buying any AD runes then; I don't really play any champs who would get great use out of them. Can't you still get banned for using the konami code, new or not? I hate new champ day. Inc 2 luxes in every game. On top of free Garen and Blitz makes me want to cut myself. | ||

Looking at the maths behind the new AD/arpen runes and scaling AD runes might actually be a lot better than people would assume, at least in the late game and especially if you have Last Whisper. At level 18, using LW against a target with 150 armor you need more than 440 damage (before crit is factored in) for arpen to do more than scaling AD. At level 12 with IE and 3 Doran's blades scaling AD is even with penetration against 120 armor without LW. Basically penetration is better against low armor targets or if you have high damage, and straight damage is the opposite but is only really better against anyone who builds at least one big armor item. | ||

My current belief is that the Last Whisper changes are their attempt at buffing Pantheon because a bunch of people latched onto that as the key to fixing Pantheon's scaling issues, and that this will fail miserably. *shrugs* maybe I underestimate the power of LW, but I just really don't think this is going to really help pantheon except for in tank spamming games. bleh, there are just so many changes, I honestly can't really process it all, but either way I'm still pissed that they didn't do jack to make me want to get HSS over pantheon's other abilities. | ||
