On Vi: Show nested quote +I'm fixing a ton of bugs for her next patch. Q gonna refund CD and mana when interrupted, E gonna be more snappy, R gonna be more inescapable. I thought E and R felt fine honestly, though buffs always welcome. The Q thing, though, might make her broken. She felt strong as hell, I just kept getting pissed at any root/silence/stun suddenly removing Q from the game. Even if it only gives half mana and comes back at half CD, it'll be really strong for mobility.
Refunding the cd seems pretty intuitive to me (esp. because it gets really frustrating to have it cancelled so easily) but the mana cost is expended when you make the choice to cast the spell. Sure if you eat a root right after you started charging with your last bit of mana you'll be frustrated compared to, say, Jax or Shen, but shit happens.
E actually required you to animation cancel the attack so has to not lose AS when using it, because of the huge wind down of the spell. It's a good thing, and I also hope it'll make it seem more brutal when you use 2 Es back-to-back (or E - anim cancel - aa - E reset), since it's so much ingrained in the champ's style.
I wonder what they're talking about for her ult tho, as I've never experienced a single problem with it (and seeing Caitlyn flash+E after you've cast and you still follow her for 1500 or so range is fun as hell—"RUN AS FAST AS YOU WANT, YOU'RE MINE").

You can disjoint the ult at high speeds/travel distances with a bunch of things like Homeguard for example.

I just bought Twitch to do IE + Sword of the Divine for the lols but he seems like a lot of fun and really strong in team fights.
Not a lot of people plays him so i wonder if he has a lot of bad matchups or he's just not popular for other reason.

I'll start planning when I know which teams are coming.

The Chinese servers just went up a few weeks ago (and with them the Chinese beta) and are still very unstable. That's the region where Valve expects the largest explosion in playerbase as well.

Just ask MoonBear. 
His passive and expunge make him nuke really hard and harass pretty well (don't let the numbers fool you: the passive is friggin' true damage), he doesn't have his old range problem and ambush is actually not that bad at escaping ganks. His laning phase is extremely strong and people who don't respect that will pay it against any decent Twitch.
I'm way more scared of a good Twitch than a typical Graves/Ez/Corki in lane.

Twitch's laning phase is so bad =\

Ugh... and did that instability make parts of the G-League a chore to watch or what? If there's one thing I'm pleased about in the LoL competitive scene, it's that pauses seem far less frequent.

Championship Series should be in full-swing by then...I can't say I'm too excited. Main tournament is probably just going to be lower tier teams with the Championship Series games for that week played at the IPL6 venue...nothing like IPL5.

G-League was actually played on the Singapore servers because the management didn't know the Chinese servers had gone live yet.
Which is funny because one of the commentators was talking about how the Chinese servers just went up and how he had 5 ms ping in a game earlier that day during the qualifiers.

Actually, many Chinese LoL tournaments were plagued by pauses last year.

If your definition of "not bad" is "somewhat better than Vayne", then I agree with you.

It's not about farming from 1k range like Ez, it's about fucking them up.

I thought at least one day had been played on the Chinese servers (still getting through the Semis on YouTube)... curse you LD, you lied to me!

Huh. Haven't watched many events, so I guess I must have missed that. I guess it's just the Great Firewall causing problems? But not if it's all in Region? No idea. It's just weird: I feel like it happens far less often in LoL (with the possible exception of the SoloMid Series)

Twitch laning is pretty good... You can often bait them into bad fights, they always underestimate that E damage.
