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. Neo, 31.01.12 |
Fuck it, time for words. Don't know if this best belongs here, but it's not about "how do I do <x/y>", it's experiences with a playstyle that's been outdated for about half a year now.
Before Taric's changes from 'fairly durable with two good self-heals support' to 'shitty support', you used to be able to run him solo-top (or even, in rare cases, solo-mid). Taric could shit on any sort of traditional AD at the start super, super hard because you have 100 armor and they don't, but he was reliant on the efficiency of Imbue and the fact that he had a secondary heal worth a damn in Radiance. Chalice Taric was absurd in his ability to keep himself and his teammates alive, and the power of Dazzle+Shatter was enough to push the squishy ADs that used to be common out of lane.
Lots has changed since then, of course, but against champions with poor sustain or champions with low HP, it'd probably still work. Of course, like I said before, you couldn't actually win a game running him, but he can win lanes, and that's the question. I'll stop before I veer too far into champion discussion, but if anyone wants to bring it over to the Taric thread, we can talk shop there.

Personally I hate hate hate fighting against a decent AD Kennen bot, now if only people were more understanding of my AD brand 
I approve of AD brand,
He just looks sooo good and I love his auto attack and everything about him ^-----^
But I don't know how his stats are like soooo..

wow, worst ad carry (ashe) got a nice buff.
most op ad carry (sivir) got a good nerf.
Is this the moment where all carries are viable? 
Can't wait to try out these changes!

Can someone link to that page with the new skins art displayed? Theres allways one around , just seen it on westrice' stream but couldnt type that fast

speaking of Viktor, apparently someone figured him out before last patch. look up "Terreo" on NA. 83% win ratio in Ranked. he's only around 1600ish, but watch for this guy now that Viktor is actually strong.

CDR AD malz is the shit dude. Run around with you and 3 voidlings that scale off your AD is imba as hell.

did anyone do the maths for the new mastery already? another noob trap like havoc, or legit? my gut feeling says its good especially for nice ratio scaling champs.

Admittedly I don't ranked much, but I've been trying to promote the shit out of Viktor on these forums ^^ He really is quite strong, the only time I feel he falls off is in the real late game; the long cd's and missing itemslot kind of haunt him at that point.

Mathematically it´s about equal overall but since the big advantage was getting a "free" crit in lane and taking advantage of that luck it´s a nerf in practice.

Fed sona OP. Sona always seems to somehow get a lot of kills, but no worries she's prit gud. Getting Dcap and Lichbane on sona is fun as hell.

You can download the patch now and the status says servers are online.
Fucking 2 hour downtime. Riot, how you've improved...
Edit: Alas, still buggy. Redditors are reporting that games fail on load screen. At least download and logging in works.

I downloaded the patch, but the 4% crit mastery still there.
edit: nm its re downloading

All that AoE + global from ziggs looks like he's gonna rape on dominion.
|
Just played a bots game with Ziggs, he feels pretty good.
Also, was cool to play a bots team with Kayle, Zilean, and Fiddlesticks.
o.o
His Passive is actually really strong, with AP runes and a Dring it did 40 damage at level one, and when i hit 18 with about 400 ap it did a solid 250 extra damage. I'd also say he is a damn mana hungry champion... but I don't usually play AP carries, so maybe I am just crazy.

jiji and hotshot playing him right know for those who want to see ziggs

Can someone who has patched say whether Locket affects minions, and whether multiple lockets can be successively applied in a short duration?

Yeah, he looks damn fun and his ult is great.
I feel like he's pretty much Gragas with more damage, but less escape.
