Just tried it in a 1v1 against a bot and it didn't apply to minions. It's something like ~2150 gold.

watching my friend get raped as talon by a ziggs. that passive is pretty damn strong starting off at level 1. i was thinking that it'd be a pretty easy matchup for talon as he could avoid the skillshots with his jump, but zigg's autoattacks are outdamaging talon's burst.

for those of you also having this issue, when i first got on and joined a game it kept crashing, i exited lolreplay and then it worked fine.
also watching jiji ziggs kill teddyro earlier was funny as hell lol

Update on ratios now that he is live ? They don't seem too overpowered from what I've seen in glimpses on streams.

I have an absurdly high ranked with rate with sona when I consider myself a pretty poor support player in general. I don't go AD sona, it doesn't make a lot of sense really. She has no real AD scaling at all, except her Q aura which you give to your AD anyway. What you're seeing is just fucking batshit crazy damage on Q+power chord combined with your buying AD damage items. I generally play support with like shurelyas-->aegis/chalice when I can afford them, the combination of people figuring out not to focus supports in higher elo (if you find someone focusing a support you just bait them around in a teamfight until you win becase you can faceroll while running away and are somewhat hard to kill) you can generally get close to the squishies and truck with with ulti+q+passive and set them up for your bruisers. Basically what I'm saying is ad sona is much less effective than a standard AD building ad items + you being just being a beast without damage items.

Wow. I just realized that your Sona winrate > your Skarner winrate. And Riven. And (almost) Nasus.
Is this a clear indication of Sona being overpowered? =P
PS: I just took the liberty of extending the holy rules of our subforum, first set in stone in the age of Sejuani the freezing boar-bitch by the glorious Moonbear, to display a recent event in the neighbouring clan of the DotA 2 subforums:
a) Never start a land war in Asia.
b) Never start a top lane argument with Mogwai. (Unless you're willing to 1v1 him and let TL spectate.)
c) Never try to win an argument about LoL or DotA with Yango, he will smash you to pieces with logic.

Most supports have high winrates. (I think it's because)Teams that don't have supports have a low cs ad carry (or because people play supports more in arranged teams). http://www.riot5.com/main/index/champions Check w/l ratio of janna soraka taric.

lol, Hotshots smurf teammates raging because he didn't call MIA.
Apparently he is bad at this game.

Considering there's no Xerath thread and I'm not nearly good enough on him to warrant me starting one... How does one build the kid? I've been doing a generic Drings->Sorc->DC build with decent success, but I was wondering how other people build him. Runes, summoners, items, basically.

Jiji just cut the enemy team of dragon after Irelia made them go back a bit by using his minefield+knockback explosive on the ramp from purple's side blue, Anivia's wall style. Zigg real zoner.

Yes. It was higher than my Udyr win rate for a while too. Had a couple bad games though, if something goes wrong at the start I don't play passive enough and just feed. Sad panda.
In general though, between Q aura charged (fucking 70 AD sona with no runes ad op), q, and q passive, I harass their AD when he tries to last hit so much that he just rage goes on me and my AD carry gets the kill (If it's like heal ignite trist, I just acciently bait her into jumping me with heal and ignite and i just exhaust her and flash away troll face 2 kills for corki).
Then in teamfights I do what nobody else seems to do in LoL and actually ACKNOWLEDGE THE AD CARRY AS THE DUDE DOING THE MOST DAMAGE. If I see Ez flanking around the side and Eing over the wall damn straight I save my ulti for when he does it. If we engage I don't go for the "Beautiful cresendo across ALL their team" (Tank who used his cds, bruiser, and their support" and just wait to for a squishy to get in range, then truck them and my bruisers go to town on them. So it's somewhat sona being OP as fuck and somewhat just abusing her smarter IMO than most people.
I have been spamming sona being broken OP in LP for a while, but I spam so much nobody ever notices when some of the shit I say isn't total BS.

well i wouldnt go that far, but a lot of the popular streamers do stupid shit all the time. watched saint last night bitch about his team throwing the game after xerath walks off of tower and gets himself easily 2v1's so saint goes to mid to take all the farm and the 2 people are just still there and kill him too. so he bitches harder in chat about his team being bad
he was right, they were bad but he made mistakes too

Oh god why
You'd think they could come up with something that looks decent for her aside from Battle Regalia.
Anyways, downloading the patch right now, gonna check out the skins to see if its worth the bundle or just the champ

The only guy i've ever seen do that is reginald, and only once. I think I saw him say "whenever i win my lane hard i gank a couple times and then start being stupid. I have to be careful right now" or something.
If you're in a gaming house I would think you would spend a lot of time watching your friends play. I thought pros watching pros would be able to coach each other well... But from the way they talk it sounds like they stay isolated and play solo queue all day.

To be fair everyone does something stupid occasionally, but I do agree that people in this genre in general suck at taking responsibility for their own mistakes.

ARAB (on CS) is the new ARAM.
Just played my first one, it's so intense. :O

Not even close to possible. If you didn't play during Xin release, you don't know what OP on release mean.
