Being 100% honest here, lulzsec's attack was only a 30 minute ddos attack on riot's login server yesterday morning. The shitty server today is just riot being riot.

I mean seriously, good base damage and .9 AP ratio is gonna punch through tanks even if you're only getting 2 sec CD on it. Is spellvamp a good buy on her? Also, how do I explain to noob-friend why Archangel is not a good first item on Cass or Malz?

It's a great item if he's a newb because newb junglers won't give blue to their AP carries.

Yiruru playing w/Rain man against Saintvicious. When the hell did he hit top 20 solo Q??

Once upon a time ruru was top 5 soloq.

"Enemy was looking my way when Cass ulted!" "Trololol no enemy es run away." Cass ult such a frustrating experience. Especially when playing with high ping the fragile facing aspect is utterly undependable.

i just feel cass' kit is too fragile. like in certain situations she can be used very well, and the skills make sense, but these situations are much too rare.
doesn't help that her skills are also ridiculously finicky, making her hard to play but without much of a reward for doing so.
why not pick someone that can do it equally as well, but can also fit into more team comps and works better in more situations. (malz or lich are straight up better in more situations)
EDIT:: its the same thing with karma too. she's not terrible in certain situations, but those situations are much too rare, and usually janna/zil can cover those situations and more, making it silly not to pick them instead.

I've been playing AP Alistar for shits and giggle. Headbutting into someone and seeing them die always makes me laugh. :D Also, initiating battles is awesome because your ult lets you tank while dealing immense AOE damage for your carries to finish them off. :D I would never take it into ranked games though, for obvious reasons.

Love winning ranked games 4vs5

However now the maintenance now is apparently a minor content patch.

Someone posted on LoL forums a list of champions that he thinks will be nerfed besides vlad, Morello responded:
Nunu and Malz are in this patch. Source
Also some unconfirmed rumor:
Morello's Evil Tome healing debuff active this patch

AP alistar was FotM in ranked for a while before they nerfed him.

Wait, did you just use some kind of red tracker or how did you get all these posts listed?
Morello really seems to defend the Vlad nerfs at all cost, i'm guessing they are preparing huge nerf to vlad. Something like "Vladimir The Crimson Reaper has been removed"

I've missed numerous point-blank ultis while the opponent was right next to me because the cone is like 2mm wide at that point.

Geez, am I the only one who's actually glad to face Vlad 1v1? Idk, I don't think he is very OP, he has strange mechanics, true, and the damage/heal part on pool is probably over the top, but he is extremely challenging to play against and somewhat fun.
Vlad is much like Mordekaiser - not that hard to beat, but you get punished for mistakes and can't really safely trade, so you must know what you're doing before you engage him. Yes, maybe abit too strong, but not retardedly OP like so many people think for some reason.
|
wow i'm not gonna lie, morello is killing it he's making a ton of great, logical posts and i'm eating it up i can't believe how many tardo people are posting shit like "CLG AND TSM AND OTHER HIGH LEVEL TEAMS AREN'T EVEN THE BEST PLAYERS, THE BEST PLAYERS ALL HAVE REAL JOBS AND DON'T WANT TO DO TOURNEYS" that cracks me up
anyways +1 to morello's respect, there's some good shit in these vlad threads
|
I think Vlad is strong and pretty gay to lane against, but nowhere as amazingly OP as all this QQing makes out. I guess everyone's complained about his q for soo long, and the recent DH qualifiers have made it clear to them how OP he is. -_- (Though I think he was picked a lot, meaning he wasn't autobanned.) He's just one of the stronger AP carries in this game.
|
i can't remember the last 6-ban game i played in that my team didn't ban vlad (top 2 priority bans are TF and vayne, of course). other top teams reflect the same attitude - he's just not fun to play against because of how strong he is, and he's got too much potential to snowball.
i think morello covered it well: he's got no resource management thanks to Q. he's got really powerful healing thanks to Q and spellvamp. he's extremely safe thanks to W and flash, to the point where he can essentially ignore the perils of the enemy jungler because he will always make it out of a gank if he's got flash up. and in the event that you DO beat him in lane, he's still got massive utility with his ult that doesn't scale with farm. a vlad with 0 gold can destroy your team with his damage amp just as much as a dominating vlad can. basically just a superior kit regardless of how good you are with him
