Hec got stronger, especially with Sheen/Iceborn Gauntlet. More damages is always good.

Bruta buff. I guess ADs not buying it and BC enough.

Butcher buffed on Spirit Stone and upgrades. Good from a jungle perspective, I guess.

Sej and Naut needed help in the jungle. Cool.

Sej buffs always good.

Reminds me that Gauntlet Amumu is big terror. We had trouble killing him in a coop... also Brand with +30 MPen and void staff cut through my 150+ MR and 1900 HP every single time, killing me in pretty much a single combo.

Can't complain about flat ArPen values being raised, since they actually didn't give us new items for assassins and AD casters to play with (BC sure ain't one).
And Starbuck was way more "meh" than badass in BSG. Can't say I'm hyped for the next champ.

Season 1 Starbuck was badass. I'm rewatching it now, and while I love the entire thing, S1 was so fucking good.

Does anyone have any tips on how to enjoy yourself while playing this game? I always get into tryhard mode and end up either hating myself or my teammates after literally every game and have no fun

Do these new scaling jungler items open up the possibility for some crazy fast-baron strats? Particularly if you have your carries pick up one temporarily?

Play a fun hero like AP Ez or Zed.

I just spam Talon mid in normals and don't care about the match-ups. I can't complain as much as I do when I tryhard since I know I'm way farer to my skill plateau than on my other champs, so I just deal with sucking and try to learn.

Poor Scarra has no idea what to build on Nunu mid.

I think they're a bit too expensive to temporarily buy. Since the passive only affects neutral creeps, it's pretty wasted unless you're sneaking every buff, dragon, and Baron with it. Even then, it's not comparable to a lane item for the early game, imo.

i played probably 30 zed games on my smurf for the last week
I'd say it's an issue of my mentality than what I play.. Like I want to just enjoy myself, dance to music, talk witty, but it's just not working out. I don't know. I take having fun serious and when I'm not being succesful it leads to stress im just horrible lol
mb i should check out a psychiatrist

Yango i took all the AP on support items to mean they want to encourage things like karma mid nami mid ect. put rumble/vlad top for your magic damage and use jungle for your bruisery thing and bot with blitz/alistar/leona/sejuani ect.

putting your support mid and having them farm the qss on other item, the command aura item among other items let's them still be able to clear stuff and ward while also getting the strong support items.

Nami's ratios are not that great. Karma's ratios will most likely take a big hit once her rework is out.

The best AP scaling on a support right now is probably Janna (0.9 on E, 1.4 on R with full cast).

k. totally not the point of what i was saying. at all.

Is having a support mid really worth losing the damage of a traditional mid?

You seem to be suggesting a double support comp, which I think gives up too much midgame strength for utility.

How does Sej work bot though? O:

Damage is not actually the limiting factor when it comes to picking supportive mid heroes. The thing is, a team doesn't actually need 3 fully-farmed damage points. We already know that 2-carry strategies with a supportive top laner or even 4-protects-1 strategies with only the AD as a main damage point are completely viable strategies, meaning that not having the mid AP as a primary damage point is not an insurmountable drawback.

The only real requirement is that you don't overfarm the mid AP--which is a mistake that is extremely easy to make with Janna or Soraka mid given how easily they instaclear. Even if they can clear a massive creep wave, they should cede farm to the higher position carries. The idea that a supportive AP mid causes you to lack damage only comes out of games where teams would misplay the teamcomp and vastly overfarm the supportive mid, with Janna/Soraka mid having the highest CS in game.

I'm sorry if this question is out of the blue, but - How do you teach yourself to understand the game? I want to be able to look at a team composition and be able to determine the winning strategy.. I just want to increase my knowledge of the game. How do I do that? Just think? Not sure if I'm smart enough for that.

Just for reference, I talk to Yango almost everyday.
Get fucking knowledge bombed almost everyday

It's almost overwhelming...

Oh, and Navi too. fk

How do I talk to Yango and Navi everyday D:

This Scarra's game is so much fun, with his Nunu and Link's jungle Riven behind (fed Lee, Nunu can't stop Karthus' farm under tower) and they try their best to come back. Including (but not limited too) Tristana triple with jumps, Riven and Nunu trying desperately to run from Taric+Cho's cc at 300 hp each, Karthus powerless to run away from Nunu's R, amongst other stuff.
