do you think a 24/7 (well, not exactly, but you get the point) counterjungling Shaco is as viable as one putting more of his time into ganks?


what did i do?

I was bored today so I looked at your tumblr. Really liked the 1st page so I've browsed through like 10 or so. Somewhere in between, I found this glorious peace of art.

Seriously. How good is Arrested Development?

still thinking that graves' kit is nothing out of ordinary while his passive is what makes him broken. the guy just doesnt take any damage.

its not his kit its the scalling on everything imo. his passive just makes it more so cuz once it gets stacked he takes no damage then heals it off in 2 seconds

His passive is the crux of the problem I think. His QWER kit is ok, but add in full GRIT bonus, he can dash in with inpunity.

They were talking about Graves on SotL and Dan Dinh suggested either a nerf to the numbers or stacks, but not both and I agree with him. It's too easy for Graves to gain his full passive and at max it's just silly.

On a completely unrelated note, it's amusing to see Stephano's own3d stream at 4K viewers. I think this is the first time I've seen an SC2 stream on own3d get so many viewers (2K+). I guess being a White Hope in SC helps with fame and popularity.

Meh, 40 Armor/MR isn't even a Chain Vest or NMM. It's strong, but not so much more so than most passives. It seems strong, I think, because it's the only real defensive aspect to any AD carry, aside from Urgot's shield. Every other carry is 100% offensively oriented in their abilities, so mixing in a bit of defensiveness seems broken.

Honestly, I think, after playing against and as him, his numbers just need to be tweaked and he'll be fine. The thing about him is that he's a burst character with good auto damage as well. Ezreal also fits into this box, but doesn't have that same measure of base damage, and can do it from a range. Corki also has good burst, but no AS steroid.

I don't think his E AS boost needs to be that high. Maybe tone it down to 65% or 70% max from 80%, or reduce/remove the innate CDR. I think it'd be better if the CDR thing only worked on champions and not neutral monsters/minions.

Edit: I think the idea behind his passive is that, with his short range and Q, he wants to be in combat close range. Not good with a squishy, so make him less so, encourage him to be close up.

i would rather like to see his auto range toned down than his numbers. make him strong but risky imo.

he loses pretty much every top lane so you only have to change your mid lane pick. Talon can't jungle at all

I can't get my last pick to jungle when there is no jungler in my team and you are able to convince people to do all that?

Prollem with graves is he has no problem dashing forward with e to unload a q in your face because he KNOWS that you cant hurt him nearly as much as he is gonna gib you for. I think its a case of the scaling on both his q and his passive being a bit too high.

Id also like for e not to be perma up with a PD at level 18.

Don't firstpick Talon, problem solved. As soon as the enemy team has one champ he is good against, he can crush that champ. Top, mid, bot, he doesn't care where you send that champ, Talon follows. And early laning kinda is his only weakness.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Why put him top when he's clearly better mid, though? Run something stupid like Ryze/Talon with 2x Teleport and out-lane-switch the enemy team imoimo.

Then again, I'm totally bad at this game. No clue if it would work, I just don't see it not working.

I don't play Talon. And I once again laugh at you, only this time for doing the internet equivalent of "lets fight by the flagpole."

If you're losing every lane as Talon, the problem is you.
