So hoping to hit 5 people with it is literally hoping 5 people will stand in about galio ult range of each other and stay that way for 2 seconds of their own accord. That's not how it's functioning for me at all or any other Varus that I have faced in my games. | ||

I often see people running flat AD reds/quints, and adding 1 flat AD glyph to push the summary up to +16 AD instead of +15. Is there any benefit to this? Do you really get a full +1 AD for that extra blue? Like does the game round down otherwise? Or is it just so your runepage looks prettier? | ||

I think the game counts .xx numbers and numbers are round only visually? I am not really sure though. | ||

This was literally just asked yesterday, and a thread with 2 red posts clarified this: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=417123#417123 See Lima Beans' post below Hohums'. If you have +9.5 AD, your enemies will take that fractional damage, and the game still tracks it internally. It only rounds for the purposes of displaying numbers. | ||

I've been watching varus games in spectator mode and this is what I'm observing: someone gets rooted. While they're still rooted (but after the root hits) teammates walk into range (right next to them) and are completely unaffected. | ||

So while it can only root someone who was in range when the root hit, there only needs to be one such person per bounce. For the root to hit 5 people, they don't all need to be bounced too immediately from the initial target. | ||

For the root to hit 5 people, they don't all need to be bounced too immediately from the initial target. But the likelihood of getting 5 people by multiple bounces is pretty small considering that this makes it even harder to get initial bounces in the first place. In any case the spirit of it is the same: It's just that on the second bounce you expect the next target(s) to spend 2 seconds next to the first bounce target(s) and not tiptoe out of range as they get hit and then waltz back in again. IDK I guess it's a misnomer to say it has a tradtional AoE ult "range" but I think the quirkiness of how the AoE works still severely limits it's power. Even if you're chaining ults you'll just be stacking CC unless you pick the right ults. | ||

Should I learn a tanky jungler for such occasions? Maybe a Warwick or Alistar? Or something else? Any tips/advice is welcome. (Also note that I'm only level 15 and haven't got runes yet, though I have 10k IP banked just for that purpose). | ||

That only proves that it rounds for display purposes, which is what I already said is the case. It still doesn't prove anything about the game tracking damage internally. Just because the game is only showing you integers doesn't mean the actual stored values aren't decimals. On May 09 2012 11:17 turdburgler wrote: i dont understand the difference? See the example Lima Beans gave in that thread. Suppose you have 9.75 AD, and you attacked a target with 10 HP. The game displays it as 10 AD, but your attack wouldn't kill the target. The game would show them as alive with 1 HP--and the reason they're alive is that the game is tracking the 0.25 HP they have left internally. It just doesn't show it because if the game were showing fractional HP, AD, spell damage, etc. explicitly, the decimals start to get really annoying to look at, particularly when spells have fractional AD/AP ratios. Nobody cares to see their HP remaining as 507.31625 or whatever. This is something that would actually be really hard to test explicitly, because if the game really is tracking decimals internally to high precision and you can't see it, natural regen is going to screw up any attempts to track fractional damage carefully. | ||

Also Kayle shits on Irelia from level 2 and gains such a big lead that Irelia has to farm while Kayle roams and gets objectives. The only champions I have ever had issues with as Kayle are Pantheon (duh he shits on AD carries,) Lee Sin (which is just a skill based matchup but Lee can engage and disengage at will) and Olaf once he hits 6 as you cannot kite him but prior to him hitting 6 he should be farming with Q. Add Fiora to that last. Double gap closer pretty retarded, but even when you both hit 6 since your ult negates hers | ||
