Shakedrizzle rejoice?

I assume you're talking about Lee Sin hotkeys? Which new functionality does this add? I had added an easier to hit hotkey for smartcast wards to facilitate wardjumps but I'm 1300 elo so obviously I don't know the intricacies yet.

Wait till the patch and we will see.

She does do good damage, but needs to hit a lot of stuff. Her buffs will be too much imo.

His kit won't change, but the numbers probably will.

I thought she was not that bad on release, slightly weak on utility and mobility with an oddly unsynergystic skillset, but not bad, could use a little buff.

Now with the slew of buffs they dropped on her she looks very strong, i'm gonna go play a bunch of games on her. For sure now she has basically unstoppable farming.

she is very high skill, I picked up alot of tricks for her, now it looks like you can actually use a QE to hit someone AND stun them, which is really nice.

I improved my Syndra play alot by not trying to wait to ult until you have a bunch of orbs out, its almost always better to ult early, then E for almost guaranteed stun which allows you to easily land more Q and W (W allowing more Q's as well) and makes for more overall damage than delaying ult until max orbs.

Actually, having thought about it, you could set your ward hotkey to like shift-w and jump really easily with shift-w,w. Is this it?

The benefit is that you can smartcast an ability by default to make it faster / smoother, but also shift cast it to get a range indicator for those cases where you're trying to do something at max range, thereby allowing you to better know react based on knowing how close you are / will be soon. You don't end up with say Ryze where you W at max range and stop moving for a split second because you can see that you're in range and immediately click to move forward.

Lee Sin isn't quite the same since W has a travel animation on Q/W, which serves as that notification (i.e. while mid-flight you can prepare your next step).

Oh I see, makes sense, probably need that LoLtool thing to customize the keys for each champion though.

I'd been using smartcast with range indicators since I started playing and thought I was so smart, until I realized that turning off range indicators makes it even faster. Silly me. It was good for landing max range skillshots/Diana Q though, so I can see the merit of the new binding update.

I remember when people said you shouldn't use smart cast because there was no difference except reduced accuracy for skill shots. Or there was no difference.
