Not sure how true they are but apparently Chauster is practicing APs and jiji is practicing ADs so uh, we might see a swap at a future tourney? Judging by the way he played Kog I'd say that sounds about right | ||

I do know that both Reginald and Dyrus have claimed they can beat anyone in lane but Chauster so a swap between those two could be really interesting. | ||

Even caitlyn's Q only costs 50. hmm... I don't really agree. Her q might or might not cost too much but she's not a weak laner. I don't think her early game is what's holding her back. | ||

He requires some farm tho to truly be effective, but running Exhaust on him (who needs flash when you've got a combo as great as W+E?) makes me feel good everytime an enemy AD carry screws his positioning. You shouldn't be the main focus (except if you're carrying hard) since you can get as sturdy as their tank is farmed, and you don't have as much dps as bruisers, and no burst like assassins. Plus you laugh hard in the face of CC. I build him wriggles->mercs->phage+bruta though, going into mallet/GA. I should give a try to triforce instead of mallet, after something else to compliment bruta's CDR and blue. Regarding the Irelia/Nasus laning a few pages back, I'm somewhat at a loss too. His Q his obviously better than yours, since not only will he level it up, increasing damage, the CD on Irelia's when not last hitting would hold her back from trading. I feel like he can zone her, even when maxing W first, since he's got better health sustain anyway, and poke with Q from time to time when she's in range trying to last hit. Then again, I don't have a full armour page yet and I ran rejuv against him rather than cloth+pots which seems to be better. More draft inc. | ||

MF has a really strong early game (just not as good as Caitlyn) and while you can't really trade with MF she can't force trades versus a good support. Using Q to get three hits is pretty unstoppable early on, but it can just be healed up so  Her ult scaling with AP is useless because of how ad items work. Gunblade is broken, but MF's AP ratios aren't that good. BT will give you better sustain and more damage if you keep building damage. | ||

Its a decent move if chauster can get his ap up to tourney shape in a week simply because of how (relatively) poorly jiji has been playing recently. My only concern is I dunno how deep Chauster's AP pool is. I'm assuming he's relatively well versed in APs for them to even be considering it but the only champ that I know he can play at tourney level is Brand. Jiji is good on Kog, Ashe, and Caitlyn. | ||

And its not like ap casters are all that difficult to play mechanically. IMO the main key is knowing how to lane, and how to position for your individual caster come late game. Chauster should have both those things down. The hardest thing is going to be getting a feel for how much damage he does and takes with different casters so he can play aggressively. But that should come in a week of solid play. | ||

Umm, probably because as soon as I press R once with smartcast, the ult is cast before you have any chance to indicate a direction to it? | ||

That doesn't make sense, that ult is always the same lenght? With smartcast the ult seems to always fire in a direct line outwards from your champ, so it kinda defeats the whole purpose of his ult. | ||

It's some sort of php dynamic image thingy, I don't have any idea how that stuff works. | ||
