Barrier is quite strong for the post-ult nuking that will go down most of the time ! I'm a big fan of ghost/cleanse, but you can really go for any mixture of heal/ignite/barrier/ghost/cleanse/tp. Don't even need ghost/flash if you're into that sort of thing | ||

Now it's going to take me even longer to put my team on my back giving them more time to fuck up. It also makes him extremely blue reliant. either has to choose between taking blue from mid or limit his ability to clear the jungle or gank more than one lane before having to back and he is begging for the enemy mid and jungler to contest his blue. Why? They buffed the crap out of AP spirit stone, Fiddle should be much stronger now. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/lolesports/LCS%20Season%203%20Regular%20Season%20Ruleset.pdf 9.5 Awarded Game Victory In the event of a technical difficulty which leads LCS officials to declare a restart, the LCS may instead award a game victory to a team. If a game has been played for more than 20 minutes, the LCS, in its sole discretion, may determine that a team cannot avoid defeat to a degree of reasonable certainty. Additionally, the following criteria may also be used to award victory: 9.5.1 Gold Differential. The difference in gold is more than 10,000. 9.5.2 Kill Differential. The difference in kills is more than 15. 9.5.3 Remaining Turret Differential. The difference in remaining turrets is more than 7. I understand such criteria probably been available previously but it's the first time I've actually seen them stated so clearly. 15 kill difference really seems a bit shaky as a "victory condition". I guess they'd take gold/tower situation into consideration as well, not just "HERP DERP they are 15 kills ahead, no reason to restart!" The whole Player Conduct chapter (10) is a bit...american. You're not allowed to advertise pornographic products? Really? 2013 and we've still not moved past cursing and porn as the things that ruins children? | ||

Meh, got up earlier than usual, thought "yay have time to play" NOPE gotta wait 2 hours. On February 01 2013 13:15 Cloud9157 wrote: So in my humble opinion, I welcome the addition of seeker, but I feel it still is not enough for APs. 1100 gold(800 when you start cloth+5) still feels like a decent investment for early game. The item makes laning vs an AD mid tolerable, but frankly, if you don't have mana regen, you're not going to do as well. Now, building Seeker+cup would ideally solve this, but that is a total of ~2k gold. I wish Seeker's came with some mana regen or something. It just doesn't seem fair to let cleaver have EVERYTHING ADs would want, while APs are stuck without an equivalent. I'd be much warier of an AD mid getting a BFS than a Cleaver. Seeker's is dubious because you want to get it ahead in time so you can stack it, but at the same time you don't want to rush it as its stat mix isn't all that good, especially when you want some AP for clearing power first. Laning against an AD is also totally possible while entirely skipping cloth armours (well, was before this patch). It may be harder, require more careful positioning from your part, and be unforgiving against a more skilled opponent, but it's definitely doable and thinking "laning against an AD without at least cloth is untolerable" would just slant you. I think what's shitty for AP champs currently is the popularity of health stacking while AP scaling is much weaker than AD scaling (and less slot-efficient), and the caster nature that makes them burst-reliant (and thus hurts their late game scaling when more and more stuff happens during their 5s spell downtime). It's less visible for AD casters because they still "scale" through autoattacks. | ||

It's not just the team aspect, but the fact that unless you're extremely adamant or well known you don't always get to practice the same role. Plus on top of all that you have champion picks, item builds, and other factors that make LoL a much more variable game than Chess. It doesn't make Elo worthless, it just makes it harder to say what it's measuring. Kind of. Its not quite right to say its harder to say what its measuring Since the measure still converges to what we are looking for it means its exactly as easy to say what its measuring. Its just that, since it takes longer to converge our measure is initially less accurate (the accuracy of the final guess depends more on how much you're willing to let ratings change and is based more on that parameter than the convergence) In English. Games with more players provide less information about the skill of an individual player so when we initially attempt to develop a order of players it takes longer to do so, once we have gotten there however, there isn't a difference in the accuracy between a 5 person team game or a 1 person team game. Most of the variation that we see in ELO comes from the fact that we want our order to be able to update when people get better(or worse) and since we don't know whether or not a win or loss was random or because you had actually gotten worse we have to treat if its providing new information to what your skill is. What this means is that it is a function of all rating systems that final accuracy is determined by the speed of convergence which is limited by the information contained in the game and a user determined parameter for how much we want to allow ratings to move. IIRC, for games in which we only have information on who won and who lost the Elo heuristic is efficient (I.E. in order to make a system which converged faster you would have to reduce the amount of skill movement you allow) On February 01 2013 16:26 Alzadar wrote: I'm never quite sure what's best as a 2nd damage item for Corki. Last Whisper is situationally good, IE is pretty good but expensive, Bloodthirster is pretty bad given the weak interaction with Trinity, Zeal items feel weird when you already have Trinity. There's some anti-synergy with Black Cleaver because flat reduction (Gatling Gun) is applied before percentage, but GG is pretty good for stacking it so it's probably decent. I usually go Trinity Warmogs Infinity and the game is won or lost before I get another item. If you're going for a second damage item, LW is probably your best bet. I am not sure specifically what the gold efficient break point is for this particular setup but I am willing to bet that LW gives you both the best damage against all targets, even targets which don't have much armor, for the gold. In addition since it doesn't require a BF sword and so is easy to build into in situations where you don't get the sudden influx which lets you skip to IE. | ||

It's not that he's unstoppable in any way, but he's just so dumb to play; alfa-strike and meditate are both fairly no-brain skills and I find it incredibly boring to play or play against. I think for a long time Riot was being hands off on tweaking him while they waited for how AP yi turned out. I always thought AP yi was dumb and never won a game with one on my team so I'm glad it got hit. This will probably be a sign of tweaks in the future to make more traditional(ad) builds better. | ||
