Obviously it's overpowered with the current items and masteries but that's not what it's balanced around I remain concerned. We didn't arrive at the current math for penetration/reduction at random. Unless Riot is very careful about penetration itemization it can become trivial for champions to completely bypass large amounts of defense. To upend this system to assist assassins, with whom Riot has a perpetual love/hate relationship, is extremely dangerous for game balance. It is too soon to say, but Riot's walking a tightrope of balance and it isn't clear from Phreak's post that this won't turn into a circus. | ||

I have had numerous discussions with a friend of mine about it. It honestly is a terrible form of cc that doesn't even affect most of the champs nowadays. Try to slow Riven? Nah, she gets 3 bunny hops and a dash to keep moving. Try to slow an Ahri? No, three flashes and shes outta there. Hell, try slowing an ad carry with a blink? Nope, can't catch them. Now, its great against some champs like Udyr that lack a dash, but it really ruins some junglers. Trundle, for instance, can't gank half the champs these days since they just dash right around his pillar. Basically, he suggested that it MIGHT be worth looking into to have slow affect skills like Ahri ult. Basically when slowed, you don't get to teleport/blink/dash as far. inb4 everyones mad and isuck | ||

I'm honestly at the point where I'm like, I'm not reaching Gold by the 6th, and my highest is Silver, so I don't care about the skin anymore. Just playing ranked to improve and prepare for next season, hopefully placement will be more intuitive and there will be less playing with the types of "gamers" that have plagued my games for the previous weeks. | ||

Yeah just lost 200 elo too (1450 to 1270ish), do you guys have an idea why you drop that much ? Did you try out new things, play other roles ? I'm wondering, is it because I left my comfort zone ? | ||

There are quite a few strong counters that work well against "Dashers". Ryze was a popular anti-ahri pick, during the height of her pick, because rune prison completely wrecked her hard. Also, remember with these types of "dashes", if they're using them to escape, they can't use them to do damage. | ||

There were not nearly as many champs with blinks and dashes in the early days (Trist was the only true dash on launch, Yi, WW and Jax had the only gap closers), but it feels like nearly every champ nowadays has a mobility spell or some way to counter soft CC. Slows are still good. They help you chase, they peel for your carry (against divers that don't have a way around it), they get kills. But yeah, they aren't as good as they could be in a game with less mobility. It's been less prevalent lately (5 out of the previous 6 squishy carries don't have any sort of dash/blink), but the "top tier" picks generally have high amounts right now. | ||

So all that Skarner had going for him was his midgame aggresion, which was fucking awesome, but was still reliant on having dominant or semi-dominant midgame AP carry and also required your top to have teleport, which is pretty good anyways but it is still limiting. But this nerfed his midgame aggresion a huge amount. He can still be played as a farmy lategame bruiser but even there he faces competition from he extremely niche stuff like Olaf. And I also don't like farmy lategame focused bruiser junglers. And I don't think Skarner is a particularly good one either, because he is pretty easy to kite and stuff. So I'll probably go ahead and semi-give up on him, I guess I will still 4th/5th pick him sometimes but I like early picking my junglers so eh. edit: I know some of you guys play him like lategame bruiser-ish by building items like HoG (looking at you Skarnold) but I am pretty sure that wasn't the best way to play him at all. Still might not be. | ||

I'm wondering, is it because I left my comfort zone ? I tilt really hard, and I don't listen to my own advice :\ As I've said before: when you're on a losing streak, take a break and don't go into games already pissed at yourself and teammates, it just wrecks your play. But alas, I lose 2-3 in a row, rage, then queue up and immediately view my new team as a group of idiots, then throw lane because I'm not focusing. I'm apparently only rational when I'm calm, short fuse and all that. Plus I have the bad habit of playing new champs for the first time in ranked. Almost threw my first Kha'Zix game, WAY threw my first Leona and Diana games. | ||

Not saying to nerf dashes, merely suggesting to "buff" slows a bit. | ||

Eh, I don't think slows need to "counter" high mobility. Slows counter sprints in the way that hard CC (including snares, stuns, and supresses) counters dashes/blinks. The issue is, there are less sprints, and the champions that have them are underplayed or not played at all, so slows are less useful. | ||

I don't see how that will affect anything at all. *whistles* Incoming smash becoming rank 1 next season. (becomes riot enployee, buffs apen...hmm ;p) joking I know they want to make assassins more viable, but a buff to armor pen just means that all bruisers will be tanky as balls while dealing true damage with their high base damage and high scaling kits, regardless if they have true damage in their kits or not (irelia/olaf) -_- | ||
