glad they did something about those people who left during champion selection, at times it took 6+ selections before a game finally went under way... still don't fully understand why people left tough, was it because the party setup wasn't optimal for an easy win? or someone took the hero they wanted to play?

kayle ulti nerf was kind of uncalled for, now its even more useless defensive play and only slightly usefull for offensive play
I'll bite this hand that feeds me, and take it for my own!

People at my level queue-dodge because we don't want to get stuck with a terrible player.

Kayle ulti nerf was required - it was already abusetastic with a carry before she got buffed, her downfall was that it was her only skill, and it was strong but not strong enough to account for a whole hero. Now, she's a carry hero herself, and one of the fastest-scaling ones, at that. Yet she kept her old OP ult.

1st, i dun know what is your level
2nd, i believe excepts lv 1->10 which cant know about queue dodge, all levels has terrible players that is worth to dodge. It just hard that judging people through the spell sometimes turn out to be a big mistake >.<

about kayle: nerf her ulti wont weaken the champ herself but her teamates... i only use kayle ulti on myself on emergency situation, most of the time escaping with the additional ms from the 2nd skill is way enough and ulti is use to save teamates! => this wont change anything
Im daed. Follow me @TL_NB

Yeah, Kayle can get scary. I've found that people focus me a lot in team fights tho, so I'm forced to get defensive items, and games usually end before I can finish farming up damage stuff after that, but that may be because I don't farm that much, compared to other people. I regularly finish with like 50-60 creep kills less than our carries, but I just love roaming so much. Don't even know if the build is good, I've been going Ninja Tabi/Merc Treads depending on occasion, Lichbane(frequently finish the game with just Sheen), Nashor, Banshee, Sunfire Cape, and usually, a Doran's ring I bought at the start. I kinda play him like a caster for the first few levels anyway, so the ring is pretty nice. I don't have any runes either, gonna wait till level 20, but by then I would probably be playing Shen or something, consensus is that I should buy him asap and carry myself to 30 ez.

I'm fairly high Elo; when I play in the morning (usually around now) I see like a 30-person rotation, so I tend to play with and against the same people over and over again. Yesterday I had like a Bo5 with some people.

Even when I play in the evenings I usually see a clump of ~100 people, and this is over several weeks. This means you start remembering really bad players, and so you queue-dodge because they're pretty much an auto-loss. I'm a lot more frugal with my "list" than some other people, but there're definitely some people that I've never seen win, ever.

A godly Kayle is unstoppable because of her ult. For instance, Sirosiki abused a bad mid matchup (lol Veigar) and went on a 12-0 killing spree because he could put up ult and tower dive to his heart's content - in conjunction with Liz buff there was no escaping Kayle.

Lowing the duration (much needed IMO) makes her significantly less unstoppable.

It's not like the 2 sec reduced duration is going to stop you tower-diving Just can't do it at 1 hp any more.

Thinking of buying Akali when I get the points, she seems fun but so far I've read that I should get Katarina instead if I'm going that way.

Two seconds is significant when you consider that CC effects are not stopped by her ult - you can be stunned and have your ult nullified/wasted, particularly early on.

Dunno, usually, if I dive, I have a decent amount of hp left and the ultimate is more of a nice addition to it than a gamebreaker.

I've seen a Kayle dive through 3 ppl to finish a person off, and still get away. 1/1.5/2 may not have made a difference in that specific instance, but it's big.

But anyways it's the general utility of the spell. The ult's a battlebreaker (just like Zhonya if done right) and shortening the duration was really kinda needed.

Edit:
Before you ponder the magnitude of a second, consider that Trynd was a vastly overpowered character for a period of two weeks. The nerf that crushed him from overpowered to useless? Mocking Shout's snare duration was lowered by one second.

Similarly, for a while they decided that moving Shen's Feint from 2 seconds to 1.5 seconds (now moot because they reverted it to a simple shield) would greatly balance it. Maybe moving it to 1 second might have balanced out Shen a bit more, instead of chumping it all the way down to a regular shield.

I'm not saying the change is irrelevant, I've had times where I'm sitting in the middle of 5 enemy champions with just ult holding me alive, and in that case 2 seconds is pretty significant for example, I'm just saying that if you're gonna dive, you will regardless if you have the extra 2 seconds.

Edit: And I mean solo dives at a tower vs 1 person, not going through the majority of their team to score a kill.

It seems weird to me that you're high ELO and yet you still get matched up with people who would fail so hard. How do they end up in the same "bracket" if they never win? I know ELO isn't an exact science but you'd think that you'd only occasionally get paired up against those players if they were that much worse than you (i.e. the matchmaker couldn't find a proper match and so went down a rung).

I know I'm just adding to the choir at this point, but this was a pretty terrible patch, if only for the queue dodge changes. Was anyone really dodging 2 or 3 times in a row with the current time penalty anyways?

oh well.



Honestly I expected them to nerf Shaco harder.


I think Stark's and Guardian Angel will still be the very, very powerful on Shaco and I was afraid they were gonna nerf his escape ability in some way.

The queue time thing shouldn't effect me as I always premade, but that does suck in general.


the bugfix even if it was a bug is still a huge nerf. the most popular way to build shaco atm is razors and the clone will no longer deal the bugged 8% it was doing, getting rid of 1/3 of shaco's dmg output. he wont go from "lol ez kill" to "wtf this is retarded" as soon as he gets razors anymore.


Wow, I didn't even realize the clone was dealing 8%. I knew BloodRazor was strong (it would net me wins in lost games) but I never quite understood why. Still, I think it's best to wait and see how the patch plays out. Worst case scenario I just learn how to play AP shaco :D




They fixed a lot of stupid shit with shaco:

The GA/Banshee's veil fix was so that he didnt have a clone that exploded multiple times and lasted way longer than it should have.

The clones not producing auras for the real one fixes the double starks/aegis that shaco would get with his clone to solo baron.

Basically now when shaco gets 4 items he doesn't auto-win against a team with no shaco.

This is probably the best way to fix him because otherwise they'd have to nerf his survivability and the shitstorm from nerfing Deceive would be too much.

I don't even know why people queue dodge; when you click play, you usually want to you know, play. If you want to pick a team, just premade.

@Kultcher
Most people at High ELO are good to some degree, but imo many cannot think or adapt at all and end up blaming the team instead of listening to other people's advice. Just last game, there was a Pantheon jungling on my team and died in the jungle. He insisted that the sole reason he died was because the mid solo took his exp. If your jungling and cutting that close to dying, it's no ones problem but yours.

I won't even comment on how many flowchart Shacos there are that rely on snowballing with early ganks in games, but becomes absolutely useless when their Lvl 1 Rune gets ganked.

@ZERG_RUSSIAN
Depends on your win %, whether solo or team queue, and your number of games.

I like this guy. Agree on every point.Especially on the shaco point. I've only played against one Shaco in all my games that understands how to play him and make him useful if his ganks fail (I'm Shaco myself).

Because they're not completely and absolutely terrible and can follow the flowchart ashe and win some of their games, enough to keep their ELO out of abyssmal rating.
