Now he is tanky dps cuz you cant get enough money for damage items. It´s a difference in design. Nocturne is intended to be a jungle ganker which is why he gets a wardmigitating ult and CC. He never actually scaled even remotely as strong as Yi or Tryn. | ||

Druckwelle is a german clan, they had (or still have?) a pretty good WoW guild back in the day and also some players/teams in other games. | ||

Does Yorick's ulti image use armor penetration of: 1. Yorick himself 2. The person Yorick ults 3. Has zero armor pen always And a second question: When solo top vs Nocturne jungle, is it enough to ward either the baron spot or the tribrush depending on the side you're on, or is his range long enough to bypass that and you need to ward differently? | ||

If you're on blue side, he can ult you from his blue corner, just behind the tower, and on purple side, he can do the same while coming from mid. The best warding vs Noct is deep jungle warding. | ||

All Yorick's ghouls and clones have a percentage of his stats, armor pen, and hp. | ||

She's not naturally tanky though so you have to rely on your dashes a lot. I imagine wriggles+wits end+hog+aegis+phage into randuins types build on a jungle would work. Not sure if she'll be able to jungle fast enough with that skillset, though. I think you're reading too much into the term melee carry. A melee carry is just a carry that is melee. There's no requirement that you build all damage items, or that you even get more than 1-2 damage items. It just means that your role is to do damage. | ||

Well the term tank is also stupid in general. Dragon Knight and Alchemist in DotA are melee carries despite building 0-1 damage items in a given game. Though if you handed them to the LoL community they'd probably call them tanks too. | ||

Bruiser and tank overlap quite a bit. In general it tends to be that bruisers have to build some offensive items while tanks can just build full defenses, but not always. I would certainly call Udyr a bruiser, not a tank. Supports are just champs who take almost no farm and can still function adequately. | ||

A lot of people like to misuse the term by saying X can "carry" a game, e.g. a fed Irelia, but she's certainly not a carry. Who's idea is that? I don't remember carry and glass cannon becoming synonymous. Plus that definition is super flawed when you have something like Warmog's Cassio. Does her role stop being a carry just because she built defensive items? That doesn't make sense to me because her purpose in a fight is still the same--it's just that she chose to build defensive items as it was necessary for that role from a practical standpoint. A carry is a champion whose role is mid-lategame damage, and requires a significant amount of gold in items to perform that role (whether that be damage items or survivability items). You could make the distinction between hard carries and semicarries, but that distinction isn't enormously useful in LoL, because the differences in scaling aren't that large. | ||

The proper definition of carry is "carries the team into victory in the lategame". For example back with armor phase boots and broken Bloodstone and Heart and such Krobelus and Necrolyte were extremely popular INT Carries despite being mages and building tanky. The aforementioned Dragon Knight is possibly the hardest carry in all of DotA despite building pretty much pure tank. Phantom Lancer used to be like the strongest carry in the game despite building Radiance as his only dps item. Spectre is a super hard carry although she builds Radiance as her only dmg item. The only thing you need to be a carry is that you make your team win in the lategame. While Tristana and Vayne are definitely carries, you seperate them from the toplane carries by calling them ranged AD. | ||
