Ok... I'll be sure to watch out for your high level tournament team running compositions involving those characters. PM me when you're streaming.

Each hero is viable, in that you can play them if you own them or they are free for the week.

Competitive? that's another matter...

Yes, each hero is competitive. Good urgot can dominate with his earlygame strength, good swain can disrupt enemy team and lifesteal-tank quite well. Just some champs aren't simple, other fill niche roles but yes, they can be seen in competitive play.

I'm not stating that urgot+swain+ryze+trynd+cassiopeia will be owningfaces team but if you have all the "standard roles" in your team filled (1 tank, 1 ranged dps, 1 AP) you can get any of these "niche champs" and it will not be a bad decision.

Also in the end - it's the player's skill that matters, not champion pick (as long as you have decent composition).


BTW.. Urgot's early game strength was toned down during his buff. Now his mid and late games are just as strong as his early.

Oh, sorry. You seemed to sure of yourself that I naturally assumed you were basing your opinions off of experience in high level competitive play rather than, well... nothing.

Those were just added today or yesterday. Saw it on the forums.

sister of katarina, the entire inbreed familiy of yordles from bandle city, sister and brother crownguard.
am I missing someone? oh Pantheon and Mordekaizer are ofc soul brothers because of how metallry badass they are.

anyways, yes Black Cleaver is really really good now. I feel like they just took the old IE/LW combo and gave it a new name and some modefications IE/BC combo new ranged carry opness. (had a game yesterday where the enemy mundo had 1 warmogs and some other deff item, randuins I think, and His HP was dropping so fast against my IE/BC Trist, to bad he was smart enough to walk away from me and the game was lost long before it reached that point :< )

the new cleaver just gives the same as IE/LW combo but only if you stick on a target. It's not good for poking

not really IMO. It's way more efficient on counter-carries like Xin and Pantheon who are already packing arpen + ghostblade (45 ArPen) and are attacking guys with < 100 armor to essentially do true damage. Old Last Whisper was a robust cover-all that covered all the gaps left by IE to let you do significant damage to anyone, new BC feels more specialized in it's role. At least IMO.

Does anyone know how the ranking system works?
I've played 4 ranked games so far (won 3, yay!), and im wondering when i'll be getting an elo rating.

Also i'm duo queing with a friend who has played 24 games, and who tells me he has an elo, but i can't see it.
I have an ice-cold beer, everything is possible.

10 games until you see your rating - unless it's below 1200 or something, then it's hidden.

Also if you finish a game and hover over your name in the after game screen, you can see your current elo I think, it's not hidden properly everywhere.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

they're touchy about weird stuff with the rating system. Specifically, you cannot see your rating until you've played 10 ranked games and others can't see your rating unless it's over a certain threshold (somewhere around 1200).

you'll get an ELO score when you have finished 5 games (which will be visable if you hoover over your name in the LiquidParty chat room). Your profile one will come when you have 10 games played. The reason you might not see your friends ELO might be because when you drop under a certain point (1200?) it won't show at all.

So how do you feel about this xin build:

doran's shield > merc treads > bruta + dagger > ghostblade > black cleaver

Is that too much money before buying banshee's/GA?

You can always see your own Elo.. even when it is low:

That's roughly my Xin build. You end up being a little squishy while you're finishing BC, but I dunno, he fucking trucks ranged carries with that build and that's sorta the whole point of Xin, so I like it. I run a tanking runepage (ArPen, Armor, MRes, HP) and 21 in defensive to compensate for going balls out offense in my early build. The only difference is that I don't delay my Ghostblade for an early dagger, quick GB is too important IMO.
