I like it when he plays Lee Sin and Riven, that's when he goes full HAM, and that shit is hilarious.

He has said on multiple occasions that he doesn't play soloq with the same mindset he does when he plays real games. Pushes tower without wards and the like, he just tries to make plays and gain advantages on the incompetence of his opponents and it usually works out in his favor. And for someone who isn't on a team at the moment it's not like it ruins his play style when it matters. | ||

The low mana cost/CD of every spell in LoL means that you're forced to reign in their combat power because it's awkward by design to make their mana costs/CDs high enough to be prohibitive for sustain. There's nothing inherently awkward, it's just Riot's refusal to deviate from their "avoiding anti-fun" philosophy. | ||

I could see a heal based off the target's missing hp (like karma, but who plays her?) as potentially good -- it'd heal a lot in clutch situations but suck at topping off the top half of a health bar. Incidentally, the new Crucible item heals based off % missing hp but I feel it's going to be used more for the cleanse than for the heal. Or taken to the extreme: "If the ally has less than 30% hp, restores targeted ally to 30% of their hp". No idea how horribly broken that could be though. | ||

Yeah he can get really annoying and he isn't the right stream for me but I can definitely see why he's so largely viewed. Now BestRivenNA.... therein lies a mistery. Higho elo 14 year old that had an AMA on the front page of reddit is quite the gaper delay. | ||

I don't get this statement, because Heal CD's and costs are almost always greater than the CDs and costs of non-heals. Soraka W Spam Loses to Annie Q spam.Heals are objectively bad combat spells, but when engagements are small and interspersed they are very good. Essentially they are good out of combat spells.

Its kinda like the old cheat death. | ||

Ziggs serves a very similar role, but has better wave clear, a stronger laning phase, roughly equal AoE, an actual escape, and zone control. Xerath may become popular in Season 3 due to the changes to penetration mechanics. Stacking MPen on Xerath will cause him to deal true damage to any enemy with less than 140 MR. Even a Bruiser with MR/Level Glyphs, Merc's, and Spirit Visage will have an effective MR of 6. It's a ridiculous enough abuse case that it might cause him to reach FotM status. But then apparently he's boring as hell to play, so I actually expect it will take a buff to make him popular (at which point he'll get nerfed to the ground for being stupidly strong). The handful of games I've played with Xerath so far he seems to have a lot of trouble with anyone's who really good at isolating and blowing up a single person, especially because he has to stand completely still to do his full damage I can't really figure out what advantage he would have over other long range mages like orianna and lux. | ||
