Jungle Soraka.

It works now ezpz, you can even do blue first as long as you spec some flat HP.

Everyone can do blue first. The trick is called "help".
Blue start definitely seems mandatory on Soraka since her main damage is Starcall.

But what's the point?
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

soraka is too broken atm that armor heal is ridic
always kill never die huehuehue

also talon is fun to play but i feel like no items are really core on him. I swear his scaling is terribad and with low base damage he's really niche. Fun, but niche.

by all that i mean that he dont scale with phantom dancer so i am not amused. but again, his w does less damage than his q. But he has really high base mana regen and low costs, so i feel like gb/bruta es way to go

brb experimenting with builds

morde es numero uno jaja? I played against a real tryhard morde in a troll game yesterday with a few IRL friends who went gunblade -> lich bane -> every AP item that gives defensive stats. Damn it was real strong, I've been wanting to try that. Lich bane es friggin amazing on the kaizer.

Sorry to keep being a noob, but yet I am >.<

So I started playing Tristana (who's fun) and Corki (also pretty fun). Here's what I got out of it:

- They're both ranged AD carries, from what I can see. AP Corki doesn't seem to do as well.
- Both have a nice escape/engage mechanism (jump/valk).
- Both have good range, Trist just with AA and Corki with Missiles.
- Trist has much better auto damage and range, making pushing/tower killing easier.
- Corki has much better burst, but you need to be in range for Gatling Gun and land your Missiles for it to work.

Am I about right in these assessments? Which do you think is stronger in team fights? 1v1?
It's your boy Guzma!

You don't need help to do blue first.

The point is that you can support from the jungle. Jungles are support anyways. When a lane needs help you can run in, harass, and heal, or you can easily pass off red to your AD or solo top which admittedly might be more effective than a soraka gank (lol).

But really, even if you don't accept *that* point, the other point is that zalz is bored and needs more trolling in his life.

I don't understand why people keep on saying Talon's ratios are bad.

1) they only look bad if you're a baddie and don't doublehit your rakes and ult
2) your shunpo increases all your damage by 15% at max level, including bonus damage from AD.
3) his basic attacks deal 10% more damage vs cced targets targets
4) Most of his abilities are AoE

Q is 0.5 ratio and resets your auto -> good, its cd also can get really low
W is a 1.2 ratio if you hit both blades which is ezpz, oh yeah it's AoE too
R is a 1.8 ratio in an AoE
E is a 1.15x multiplier to everything.

Total is 4.0 AD ratio not counting the extra auto from Q. It's 3.5 vs non-Eed targets.
Lee Sin's total is 4.0
Pantheon's is 4.6 for two spears and a HSS.
Garen is 5.1 for Q -> full spin but he can't auto while spinning at the same time.

Talon has more AoE than all of them and his AoE is generally easier to hit with.

That's dang good when you realize that Lee Sin and Panth (maybe Garen) are crazy OP already. Maybe Talon isn't of their caliber (after all spears will always be better than rake for zoning in a solo lane) but to say that his AD ratios are *bad*?

As for base damage, his level 16 no item burst is ~1400 if you shunpo->ult->rake->auto->q, which isn't bad at all.

Healing comps are dead. Nice going Riot.

Anyways, if you play Soraka, you might as well play her full on AP with mini heals now. Max'ing W first is possibly the worst build now. Can't believe I resorted to max Q first. Bot lane "X/Support" can no longer play passively. There's just no sustainability after the heal nerfs this patch.

Janna is solid now for sure (all she really needed was for Soraka to leave bot lane), but Alistar has his hoof in the door as well.
Taric still works with some champs.

Taric is now a stunbot who happens to have a heal, instead of a healbot who happens to have a stun.

Soraka is still really strong. Extra 120 armor in a fight means a lot if you're someone like jax who is forced to tank and that pretty much means pressing r and jumping on some1, stunning as many as possible with a squishy, and then taking 5 man ff. It helps A LOT. Crazy survivability. Except people player her as solo now, and she's pretty strong there but she doesn't really deal dmg, just a support solo.
