How are you not running out of mana on Xin with no regen runes?

Does anyone else think the new Black Cleaver is like... really really good? Or is it just me?


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.


Yeah that's what I said more or less. It's for blowing up one person and not the all-around build that ie/lw was

What? I guess riot's trying to push him in that direction, but have they always called him that?

Garen is Melee DPS. he doesn't have the CC to be called a tank. He builds tank items because he's still viable and added bonus unkillable. Still can't make you stop hitting the carry.

Aw wtf some mod closed my SO BUFF thread. I was hoping I'd get a bunch of people posting their "carried this shit" images and it would be good fun.

Yep, Garen has always been melee DPS. Both in Riot's terminology and in "reality".
Love the Support Heimerdinger. I seriously should stack auras on him one game. Melee DPS Poppy is awesome as well. Build those AD/ASpd items.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I find it amusing that they consider Nidalee a "Melee DPS".

...his mana costs are obscenely low.

30 for Q
35 for W
70 for E
100 for R

like, realistically, you want to be able to do E -> R -> W -> Q -> E -> Q in a fight. That's the 335 mana, which is like, just half of his mana pool at level 14. and he doesn't need to spam ever really. I dunno, I really have no mana issues with Xin, though I guess in solo lanes I have sometimes opened catalyst in matchups where there's a lot of action that forces me to use abilities.

Well when I lane with Xin, I tend to be pretty aggressive, tossing out a few E -> Q combos until they're a little below half and then trying for a kill with all 4 skills and Ignite. Without mana regen runes, I end up not really being able to do this and have to lane pretty passively (I accidentally had the wrong rune page once and found this to be the case). I was asking more specifically about the laning phase I guess.

Me too and you're right you can't get away with this kind of playstyle without mana regen runes.

I take mana regen yellows on Xin because not having mana really really fucking sucks.

I tend to duo with Xin and just brush camp with E -> Q combos for zoning. I dunno, his mana pool isn't bad, you can pull off 3 of those combos NP at level 2, and by then if you've picked your spots right with your partner (strong duo laners like Janna/Shen/Singed/Taric/Alistar/Poppy can really put a hurt on them with you) and/or jungler, they will be dead. I do think it's different on a solo I guess, but in duo lanes and the jungle, I never ever feel the need for more mana.

Well, I mean, it was supposed to be a "look at this game carried vs these awesome players by a TL player" thread (which I thought was different from "teamliquid couldn't win this in spite of me carrying this so hard") but the mod who closed it doesn't even play league so they can't really understand that the screenshot was vs two really good players and... ok yeah whatever, he's right, there aren't enough players on TL that queue vs good players in the first place. Dead thread.
