TLDR: Like the patch, changes the mentality and viability of new stuff The change is temporary. People just haven't conclusively decided what is trash yet. There's still stuff like wriggles maokai that just doesn't make sense though...Melee carry alistar works because at least for the duration of his ult, he's got a ridiculous defensive steroid, and a good offensive one. I hate on the patch mostly because of the penetration changes in conjunction with the retarded BC stacking shit that makes people blow up despite building pure tank. Once that shit is fixed, I think I'll be happy. I always liked sitting in jungle and only coming out once in a while for near guaranteed kills.

Well I hope they will take their time :D Really don't like the former mentality of "theres only one way".B est example is Ezreal who just became popular after his skin was released, before that he wasn't even considered a top tier ADC, just because people did not play him that much. As the nerf on W shows, he was strong before, but it seems a lot of people are just following the FOTM and are to lazy to try stuff, now they have to. There isn't one way to play any champion, but you need to have an idea of how the champion fits in the grand scheme of things.
Yeah I get your point and I agree with it, most people does not seem to have that view on itembuilds though

I will say, AD Carries do have more fun options. I tried going Shiv>IE>SOTD and it was sooooo fun for blowing people up.

Shiv best item ingame! Avarice Blade just so good to start with on some champs like Jungle Gankplank with Q + Twisted Fate in Team = +12g on a 3g Wraith :D

That Ez, so sexy!!
Also, Kog+Zyra is a weird combo, would be much better if Xenics went for Corki.

For some reason there are teams that really like the double suicide combo--but it's not really actually that good.

Anyone who's not watching this Royal vs. Xenics set should watch to see why I say that Uzi has the potential to be a Weixiao/Bebe/Doublelift level AD.

Yep. The first game was totally an EZ solo domination. Esp that solo kill Kogmaw and Zyra at the end.

Right now, Uzi+Tabe is almost on par with Weixiao+Fzzf as a bot lane. Uzi isn't on Weixiao's level yet, but Tabe is arguably the best support player in China (and is definitely the most experienced, as he's the longest-playing currently active LoL pro in China, IIRC).

I don't think the current Xenics Storm can live up to the name built by their previous roster. They're still an NLB team after all.

Why didn't WE or another established team recruit the likes of Tabe as support?

I play on "Nuokesaisi" I may got the pinyin wrong though. There are people on taobao.com that will level your account for you, not sure about the price though.
