Awesome champion, bully in lane, does enough damage in teamfights and you can do amazing shit like W minion, flash throw minion in front of you, push it to stun and kill running champ that seemed a mile away. Build so far is 2 dorans -> chalice --> hat and then usually ap items like dfg or finish red chalice. High skill cap champ and hella fun to play.And i don't feel like she needs buffs anymore. | ||

I only ask because I can't play squishy champions for the life of me (assassins like Akali, Shaco, etc are my bane), but I like playing tough bruiser types, and I have 6300. He's a slightly weird case, because if you're going ad you want to use a bruiser-style build on him with some health and defensive items, but he still plays a bit more like an assassin. | ||

He plays somewhat like renekton with stealth. You want to be bursty enough to be able to go in onto a carry and explode 80+% of their health within the span of your combo but also tanky enough to survive the retaliation that's gonig to happen when you go in. Something like Mercs, BT, LW, Randuins, Maw, GA is the general lineup of items that I've been seeing on AD bruiser rengars. | ||

There needs to be a lot of thought into how to make Cait's ult better without making it overpowered. True damage would make anyone who blocks it still feel pain, but then it would do too much damage to non-tanks. Taking away the laser sight would be pretty cool, and one guy in the thread mentioned only having some sort of target sign go up on the target, instead of the laser. This would make having map vision against Cait a must, so that you know where she's firing from even if she's hiding. Doing increased damage to people who block the shot is also pretty cool, but it doesn't make all that much sense logically (unless you blocked the bullet with your head). Giving it increased armor pen might work out pretty well, being able to make a dent in tanks. It also sort of goes along with a high powered sniper rifle. TL;DR: True damage does too much damage to squishies, apen is cool, remove laser but keep some target marking is cool, increased damage to interceptors is cool but doesn't make too much sense. | ||

Why can't cait's ult be like the size of tf ult or a little bigger? then you would be able to snipe mid from bot which is something cait desperately needs as if she gets behind bot shes basically worthless. It does too much damage for that. If it's range is too high, Cait can really easily leave bot for a second, and take down most of mid's health. There's also no one to block the shot. Edit: Also, FML! Lulu's on sale, and I'm forced to make the choice: refund my leona skin and buy Lulu, or let Lulu be forever out of my reach (until 6300 if I don't see any other support...) | ||

Lower the damage slightly and add this, as it is now its either snowball or be useless. Needs more intuitive play that can help other lanes or something when you are behind. A good ashe or ezrael can do the same thing except its stronger, but then you are missing a ult which is why there is counterplay if you see the cait ult mid, then you know shes down ult @ bot | ||

Looked good, but he didn't really show much from his build. HoG, MoBo, Cloth and Ruby for what I assume was an Aegis. Still seemed to do good damage, though. | ||

No wriggles, hexdrinker was the last item I saw before I stopped watching. Enemy team had a fed eve so the MR was understandable. | ||

He was still very much in the process of figuring Rengar out, I think it was the first game where he won.

She's obviously weak so it's fine to discuss what to do about her very subar ultimate. Buffing her ult might make her too strong in poke comps though, as she's already one of the best ADs in those. | ||

I think that would be cool, but her early game ult would probably have to be weaker. I think that sounds cool, just shooting off a bunch of pot-shots like a sniper would. Or would not, I don't actually know how snipers do things in the real world. | ||
