Heed these two simple warnings. It will help make our GD a better place.

Consider this fair notice to all users. Warning will be dished out this patch.

Thanks.

That's a terrible comparision. Kindlegem is the only thing that's accurate enough. Glacial shroud MAYBE, but it gives mana which most people don't want.

Cooldown reduction costs virtually nothing.

Stinger: 10% CDR, 40% attack speed, 1090 gold
Recurve Bow: 40% attack speed, 1050 gold

10% CDR costs 40 gold. Thus blue buff is only worth 80 gold. Of course, you have to want attack speed.


That's a really bad way of estimating a cost of CDR lol. Combined items always come with increased cost-efficiency.
Kindlegem would probably make for a better estimation.

but blue buff is primarily an ap item, so you have to compare it to stats you trade in ap items with cdr compared to not.

is doublelift a retard quote machine? SV says that the cdr on blue buff is worth "thousands of gold" so doublelift counters with "lucidity boots are 750 gold", yes because lucidity boots are viable ;/ you have to compare it to the cdr value on items you can actually get, and in that situation getting 20% is in the region of 2000g

this was in reference to blue buff being op, and much stronger than red buff (in SV's opinion)

Ohai TL. Why you post so much QQ.

Just a random insert here, but Doublelift used to consider Lucidy viable boots on Blitz. Tbh, when you listen to him and put him in the Blitz/Garen/Poppy-only mindset, a lot of what he says makes more sense. Unfortunately, he's now AD Carry. So yah lol. So much Hyuk.

how is it qq? i know there has been the cdr discussion 100 times. but i really think he is wrong, but i bring it up because obviously people have different opinions on this otherwise people wouldnt be talking about it.

and comparing blue buff to buying lucidity boots is just flat out retarded because tenacity or spell pen are both much harder stats to get hold of, so in most situations lucidity isnt an option on an ap hero

maybe lucidity for cost will be worth getting who knows, but unless people talk about it people will forever call them bad

Honestly, if someone gave me 40% cdr for 160 gold, I'd get it on every champion after first back. CDR is absurdly good on some champions so much they pay something like 2-3k to max it. (Things like frozen/shurelyas for example).

Most of the AP CDR items are bad not necessarily because they don't provide enough CDR but because they don't give you the mana pool to support it and don't give you enough damage. Which is why DFG > Evil tome, at least with DFG you get nuking power...

I really hope this discussion about CDR stops happening so I can keep abusing stinger on half the jungle heros I use without it being nerfed.

Semi-related tangent: Fiendish Codex is probably the worst item in the game. It's is basically AP that costs twice what it should. The CDR and mana regen are dead weight when AP carries can count on blue buff and supports routinely buy items like Shurelia's and CDR boots.

That's part of why Nashor's/Morello's/DFG are such oddball items. Replace their CDR/mana regen with another stat, or retool them to help bruisers/tanks/AD instead of AP/support and they suddenly become amazing items.

Edit: To screw over L, imagine if Nashor's built out of Stinger + Brutalizer. It would instantly become a popular AD item.

not counting the 450 ip champs but seriously thats like 5 games.

Um... obviously you buy the XP boost imo and get lvl 30 in no time. It's a huge impact unless people try to buy champions or something with that RP

Pretty shaky pre-6, but he can survive. After 6 he's a big kill-threat to almost anyone. Late-game he'll one shot anyone except maybe triple Warmog's Rammus.

Getting to level 30 doesn't amount to anything unless you're just leveling a smurf, though. Whether you rush there or not, you're going to learn and accrue IP at pretty much the same rate.

Nothing is more satisfying than acquiring a kill with a single E->DFG->W->Q->R combo. hue hue hue.

I'll play him tomorrow, will post some feedback in the Veigar thread - last post: Dec 30, 2011 :-|

When did gd turn into cd (craton discussion lolz) seriously 100% of that guys posts are belittling or negnancy status

On blue buff - riot remove pls, it's a stupid mechanic. Double the cdr and remove the mana regen or something, blue buff is retardedly strong

On veigar- pick veigar based on their jungler not their ap. Never take veigster against diving junglers like ww, maokai, nocturne. Take care against Ali, shyv, skarner. Fire away against pirate, udyr, voli, rammus. Also never pick against ryze

On bly08- hey bro even though we would never join your games, Obama and I always admired your perseverance in inviting us all day erry day. Nevah change you're an inspiration

On new runes- y so aspensive? Really want to try spellvamp mundo and senuani jingle, really don't wNt to drop 6k ip on runes. Can we get a 'test mode' where everything is free, to experiment with?

^with regards to blue, that would nerf almost all mana champions. Which would mean we'd see more kennen vlad shyvana abuse than we normally already do. Having a resource actually adds skill. You can't just spam shurikens. All three of the above champions also have some of the best free escapes making them really really hard to gank when they combine that skill with their flash wtf riot D:<

Better to learn to play with as many masteries as possible though, and runeslots. Also better to start playing ranked asap as well. My friends are getting turned off from trying the game as they need to play like 300 games before they can REALLY play it.

Really? I never found myself in a hurry to get to level 30, but I guess that might be because my friends didn't play lol so I didn't feel a need to play ranked instead of normals... and also because I spent almost all my IP on champions instead of runes anyway

Veigar's late game is vastly overrated, his true strength lies in mid game, his late game actually kinda sucks when everyone is rich enough to buy MR and HP and QSS and you can't one shot anyone except the other AP carry ;d

They kind of have that. I buy and try all kinds of random stuff on the PTR and I get like 10k ip per week and 5k rp.

the main reason i don't like playing ap mid is how stupid the lane becomes with blue buffs. Somebody with blue buff can't really be interacted with because they will win straight up fights, win at harassing, and if they can't do one of those for some reason they can just push with no risk.

Without blue you pretty much kill off a lot of jungles though. Only way you could convince me to change the buff would be for it to give like 500 flat mana or something like that.
