He falls off SLIGHTLY before other mages, but his utility with W and damage is still good for quite a while. His augment just gives so much AP for so little cost.

Curse should win, but I don't think the rest of group A is as weak as you make them out to be, at least they have some experience playing against pro teams (Pulse played in several SoloMid Series tournaments and Brunch Club is made of players from several b-tier Season 2 teams). I think the weakest group is C, a lot of unproven teams, and I'm not even impressed with MP after they lost Polbelter and Light Sludge. Group B lucks out the most since they only have to play Group C teams in the first part of the bracket stage, whoever takes 1/2 in Group B are almost guaranteed to qualify for LCS imo.

His augment isn't as good as other 6th item materials, and lacks utility if you went death (which you should, barring discovery of a potent new build relying on other augments; I don't think it'll happen in this meta because Death fulfills what's currently expected of mages way better). Also deathcap nerf means his power compared to other mages with his augment+deathcap core isn't as good as in s2.
He still has 1100 range linear instaclear, excellent zoning during teamfights with W (it stays for between 4.25 and 5s, with 13s base cd at level max, so you can easily use it twice a fight with some cdr, also stop non-gap closing initiations), some kind of tankiness through his Q (shield is calculated on raw damage, so it doesn't matter if your target has 200 MR), and a powerful zoning tool via his ult too in the midgame (less so once people get more tanky through levels and itemization).

The most annoying part of his slot management is finding space for wards amongst all those components really.

I'm watchin some OGN VODs with Korean commentary for like the first time, and I'm wondering why they refer to players by their in game names instead of their real names. In BW, Bisu was never referenced as Bisu, but rather KTY. Why the sudden change when League rolls around? Is this to possibly make it easier to follow for foreigner audiences?

maybe it's harder to remember 10names. Also in a 5v5 teamfight if you wanna call a certain champs action it's probably easier to just say the ign because otherwise it would take even longer to play-by-play it^^. Even the western casters have problems to play by play everything unless you're deman, so since you have to speak alot more in korean to convey the same things, it would be even longer I imagine. Unlike in BW/Sc II where it's only 1v1

This reminds me, last night during the Korean commentary of NPL they kept referring to Lux's ult as "DEMACIA!!!", or at least whenever she used her ult they would yell DEMACIA!!! was freakin hilarious

But why is 9/0/21 so good?

It's easy for me to understand if you need the GP10 mastery points, which seems to me to be what the entire support tree revolves around.

The 6% CDR makes little sense to me on mids who should be given blue buffs, meaning that that extra 6% will often be taking them over the cap. Makes more sense I suppose on mids with no mana.

Really I feel like all you're getting from utility is the movespeed and the 3% spell vamp.

The only offense mastery that looks like a waste to me really is mental force.

Sometimes it's better to have utility and secondary stats than straight damage. You should know well, Mr. "I don't build damage items until 20 minutes into the game".

In fact, I'd wager that 9/0/21 would fit better with your playstyle if you're just going to sit on Chalice/Sightstone for a long time.


While I don't disagree that 9/0/21 is better for some people's playstyles, I just have never seen the point of going 9/0/21 since they sent the AP to the offense tree. I go 21/0/9 and get my max mana, mana regen, and buff duration. I get all the AP in offense plus extra damage to minions and the ignite buff that gives me 5 more 5 ap and AD while ignite is on CD.

Then again I am looking to kill the enemy mid before 6. Having 34 starting AP on a 1.0 AP scaling champ like Anivia really helps me to blow up the enemy mid. And it allows me to focus on building mana and mana regen while still being able to do damage until I complete RoA. I like playing the style that if you make a mistake or try to trade with me mid, then I get to blow you up.
Abstracts, the too long didn't read of the educated world.

Derp, forget that doubled for the live qualifier as well as the online one. I guess I'll go discuss my opinions in the appropriate venue, Neo so needy.

Grepulge?

I'd think it's because 1) Non-korean names can sound ridiculous when trying to put them in Korean especially without proper knowledge of pronunciation and 2) people already know the foreigners as "Hotshogg, doublelift" etc.

Since Maknoon and whatever his Korean name sounds both good enough in Korean, they just use in-game tags for everyone.
Stuck.
