Lots of pro players have been running 1 red and 1 blue critchance runes in Korea, I've been listening to them while they go over runepages while they wait on the game starts and it's pretty common on adcs that run 21/9/0.

Put a crit rune in your ADC rune page T_D says. Its really smart T_D says. And your an idiot the rest of TL says.

Just an observation, but according to this forum, there are maybe a dozen people in the entire world which are good at this game. So calling someone bad, doesn't actually mean that much. The expectations here are extremely high. Nothing wrong with this, but sometimes people seem to miss a bit of perspective. Above 1900 elo for example is less than 1% of the player base.
There is this funny thing in online games, that people go for the extremes. The average becomes terrible and only the truly exemplary are considered good. Everything in between is considered decent on a good day, but most of the time it is also terrible. I wonder if anybody actually ever looked at that from a psychological point. It's a really weird mix of masochism (we are all bad) and hero worship (only he is the one, that truly understands the game).

I think Destiny is a case of where if you spam enough games, you eventually get mildly decent l0l

He's probably played less than you, though. He does have a lot of work towards him, but I don't understand the need to constantly belittle him and deny him his achievements.


What achievements? He's gotten to 1900(and apparently that involved some pretty serious 'aid,' I wouldn't know). The few times I've gone to watch him the one thing that sticks out to me is how much he dies; it makes him look decidedly mediocre, especially since he plays ADC so much. Not dying is pretty much the first thing anyone in this game is taught/is arguably the most important part of the game(right up there with last hitting and being in xp range, both of which are directly related to being alive), his non-ability to stay alive is really comparable to far worse players than what you think of when you think 'moderately high->high elo player.'

I am constantly surprised at how he is considered a player of note in any way shape or form(and realize there is some irony in me discussing him at any length, or ever watching his stream for any period of time).

Your basing it on the few times you've watched him. The dude almost streams 24/7. But really its just that the Destiny hate has come and gone and is just old now.


His Lolking profile confirms that he dies a lot, I decided to look it up before making my conclusion on watching him a few times.

That doesn't change the fact that the Destiny circlejerk is old.

Lets play high elo adc average deaths in soloQ.

Destiny 5.9
Imaqtpie 5.2
Doublelift 4.8
Yellowpete 4.8
brunch Ü 4.7

These were quite easy to find. I would be more curious of a list on adc mains hovering around his elo. These players also die a lot too correct? Considering these players are leaps and bounds ahead of him, it shouldn't be that close right. Oh wait its solo q.

and if you kiddies out there dont know who grackis is, ask your grandparents to tell you.

I still laugh a little bit how he was one game away from going to the offline part of LCS. While most struggle to find a team.


I'd look more at KDA, on basically every champ he has sub 3.0 kda. Even when I compare it to people on my friends list(majority are gold-plat) they tend to at least have a couple champs where they do better than average, with 3.5-4.0 over 20+ games.

how does kda matter in a game like LoL ? Remember that when you're high elo, youll play against other high elo person, so your kda wont be higher. Unless you make a smurf and crush low elo.
But from the few times i watched his stream, hes pretty bad

Is it possible to run AD Master Yi top with some AP runes?

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Master_Yi

Looking at this that W heals 165 health with a full channel and with just 15 AP that increases to 235. Sure it has 35 second CD but damn that is worth 1 and half HP pots. Yi doesnt really need extra AD or Ar pen from runes for last hitting because he gets free AD anyway. So it should be possible for Yi to max E and farm while sustaining through W.

So I am thinking some sort of AD bruiser build, something like Ghost blade or BoTK and Scimitar with some defensive items could work on him. He gets massive AD AS and MS steroids and with some tenacity and QSS it wouldnt be too hard to stick to the carries later on.

Not ideal but I guess it could work.......

I've actually run into someone doing AD Yi top who went Warmogs/BotK. I crushed him in lane as Olaf, but BotK made it impossible for me to beat him in a 1v1. He started split pushing all day, and no one could kill him 1v1 despite the fact he was like 2/6/2, which created so much pressure that his team won pretty easily. I don't remember if he got any AP.

That being said- I don't think it will work for much longer. A large part of why he succeeded is because meditate is extremely broken (and is likely to get hit by the nerf bat soon) and I expected him to go mid, not top. My team didn't really react to it that well either, which isn't surprising given that I'm at a fairly low elo.

I would say just try it and see how it works for you. Before he gets nerfed. :D

Edit: BotK does physical damage now? O_o Now I'm really confused why he beat me, because I had like 150 armor. That attack speed. xD

Wait, there are new patchnotes with master Yi nerfs? I don't see them anywhere in the supposed PBE patchnotes, is it from a red post somewhere? It just sounds awfully strange

BotRK passive does physical damage, not magical, so not building MR didn't change anything.

^ currently PBE says increased base heal on meditate, huge ratio drop (from 4 to 2 or 1.2), and channeling for 3s instead of 5s.

^In regards to the yi nerf, They're reducing the ap ratio on meditate by half, but increasing the base heal by 60(+10per rank). and decreasing the mana cost at lower levels. I guess it won't be as broken lategame.

If that Triforce buff stays, that will be the most ridiculously cost-effective recipe ever, rofl.

Locket got a minor nerf, Sunfire and Warmogs got gutted.

Sometimes I feel Riot is too nerf happy, rather than trying to buff other items to give it more of an edge, they just tend to over do the nerfs.

Warmogs nerf was way overdone. I think they should have taken the other approach, trying to buff early resistances, as a viable alternative vs warmog rush.

EDIT: I wonder if they thought Warmogs nerf was out of the popularity of the item? or they actually think it was op'd, in how it played out in games? Personally, I think there's always going to be a "most cost efficient/slot efficient" item, and sometimes there's just going to be a key item, like Bloodthirster is always going to be core on ADC. That doesn't mean you should just nerf it to the ground.


Also, I don't get this whole "nerf tank kat". It's strong, but it hasn't even been played out enough.

DC needs a buff soon, all these new high AP items, along with the fairly new AP champs with ridic base damage, and mediocre AP ratios, is phasing out DC almost entirely now.

Xypherous on health over resistances:
I'm actually a fan of health being the primary defensive stat - mostly because health has severely intrinsic features that resistances don't, that lets it be more easily controlled.

For example:

1. Health doesn't reduce the effectiveness of lifesteal type effects - or the secondary effects of an opponent's abilities.

2. Raw health isn't multiplicative with other healing or regeneration effects - allowing it to be effective without drastically multiplying in value with other effects (self heals, shields and the like.)

3. Health is a more obvious indicator of high durability than resistances - just due to how basic UIs work.

4. Because of high health per level gains, the relative effectiveness of health is far more temporary than resistances - This is just a natural fallout of our stat per level gains, not an intrinsic advantage of health.

The hell? How is 2. a bad thing? It allows champs to favor one kind of itemization over the other and gives more diversity to builds and stuff if anything.

3. I can get from a user standpoint, but as a designer you shouldn't quote that as a major reason for how you wish to balance the game. Or, you know, you should remove stuff like Poppy because attacks deal less damage to her as she loses health so the UI is deceptive regarding her.


Also yeah, why not try to "Nunu gets full buff, ally gets a % of it"?
And what does Riot try to achieve, gutting regenerations across the board? The destroyed health regen (mainly by removing it from most items it appeared on) going into s3, are they trying to do the same to mp5 now?

Those nunu nerfs might push nunu out as my go to jungle champion. With the huge hp increases on the jungle camps he is highly auto-attack heavy because of how much mana his e costs and q starts off only doing half their hp, and you never level it until lvl 14. Either that or I start making a madreds.

2 means you can't give champions strong heals. have to give them mediocre ones with the assumption they'll combo it with resists. we saw that about a million times in s2
