So to be clear, does Ryze E count as single target for the purposes of muramana even though it bounces? I would guess it only procs on the initial hit if so?

I ask this because I have seen people say Ryze has 3 single target spells.

But, if mid game damage is such an issue, just play mid game oriented champions, like Caitlyn, or Graves then, there are better ways of shoring up lack of midgame damage, than trying to make Kog work in midgame.

Aphromoo playing support w/ CLG in scrims... trying out for the open position, or just happened to be available to sub?
COMMENCE THE BASELESS SPECULATION.

Because you can't know at the time you choose Kog'Maw what all 9 other champs in the game are going to be.

Even at the point where the draft is decided, you can't guarantee the ultimate development of the gameflow, and the game-state might require you to develop through more powerful midgame items and transition onto lategame items rather than rushing those lategame items directly.

Jiji tweeted that they were trying out Aphroo, then removed it when liftlift asked him to since it was still hush hush.

Aphrolift incomming.

Aphro would be a waste on a team as anything but AD.

His support is really good, but it's not as dominant as his AD is.

Edit: In that pic, Aphro is building a BC on support Nami lol.

For it proccing on Q I've heard contradicting information so I'm skeptical. That would give her AoE muramana damage on a tiny CD which would be completely ridiculous.



If you have to get past level 10 to post that's something entirely new, I don't remember ever having to do that even on my smurfs.



There was a bug with this that made them fully stack, yeah, IDK if they fixed it or when they plan to fix it. I supposed you were checking the buffs on someone who wasn't carrying either item, right?

Aphro would be a good support if he is allowed the chance and forced to learn from chauster. His game knowledge and mechanics could transfer very well into a supportive role

it is also utter bullshit that clg would have "open" tryouts to single out Nhatn, Aphro and bloodwater (neither of which applied) and fill the position, cant say that I find them as bad choices, just no reason to have open tryouts ~_~

i still think support is a grossly underestimated role. laning phase is one thing, but post-laning phase is where i believe they really hit their value mark (if laning wasn't lopsided). ward placement and how you move around the map and apply pressure... that's what separates good supports from great ones.

afaik they gave several of the no name guys tryouts and they were mostly pretty bad. At least the ones that I saw streamed most of them were pretty bad, as in, would die in lane often or have questionable plays in mid game. Nhat was Double's #1 choice after loco announced his retirement so I wouldn't be surprised if Doublelift just straight up asked him. And if Aphro and Bloodwater didn't apply why would they be trying out in the first place? I mean, I could see CLG maybe approaching Bloodwater with an offer since he's actually a support player but I doubt anyone on CLG approached Aphromoo and were like, "hey try out for support for us." Also, Aphro apparently wanted to keep it a secret that he was trying out for support role at CLG so....
