I don't understand why Riot chose to nerf Taric's autoattack damage by 1 on PBE recently. I honestly do not think changing his auto damage by 1 will change anything, considering he is melee and does not have AD ratios.

Been saying this for weeks~

As long as you take a second point in E early, you just tear through everything. You can even max it if you just want to clear like a mothefucker.

I don't get junglebur.
He's got no damage and super weak initiate mid/lategame...

Ganks, unbeatable by almost any jungler 1v1 and especially 2v2, while he doesn't initiate that well (generally) he is extremely tanky and disruptive.

His ganks are awesome like Udyrs ganks are awesome. In fact I don't see what the big differences between voli jungle and udyr jungle are past that pretty sweet ult and passive that voli has.

No, Voli ganks are waaaay more awesome than Udyr ganks. Volibear gets 45% movement speed bonus for 4 seconds as opposed to Udyr's 2 second 15% movement speed bonus (lol), Voli gets flip instead of a 1 second stun and Voli gets a 3 second 30%-50% slow depending on level. Not even comparable.

Yeah, it's not really comparable other than the fact that neither of them have a dash/jump. His sprint is massive, a fling is muuuuch stronger in a gank than a stun, and the slow is way more disruptive than you think. Not to mention it also fears minions so you can gank into a big minion wave and not really worry about minion damage early on.

Bite is an execute that scales with your total health and their missing health, so it's much scarier than people give it credit for.


Yeah, Voli's first clear also kind of sketchy, whereas Udyr basically a brick wall first couple clears of the jungle.


A lot of junglers have very sketchy first clear though; Amumu, Sejuani, Nautilus, etc

with the other changes to him in his damage from his passive etc, that +1 damage might be enough for him to run all armor and still breeze through the jungle. usually a change as seemingly arbitrary as that has a fringe case that a tester found rather than a player. otherwise 3 weeks from now we'd see jungle taric in every game because someone posted some l33t build where taric can get through the jungle with 0% health loss yada yada yada

How can you say that about the (self proclaimed) best ad carry in the game?

Not saying it a major downfall, just saying his jungle not at all like Udyrs.

i am confused

what is the difference between a melee carry and a bruiser?
my head hurts



A melee carry like Fiora.



there is no difference
fiora is just another bruiser

udyr isnt that good now so i dont know why you'd compare him to volibear
anyone can clear now with madreds anyway
voli has better ganks better utility compareable tankiness better damage and having to buy some hp pots in the jungle earlier seems like a decent counterweight

Riot's idea of it is bruiser = high base damages, melee carries generally don't. (like yi who doesn't even have any AD ratios)

Lvl 3 ult adds 125 damage per attack that chains. He even has a built in aspd boost. He can be pretty beast in teamfights.

Attack speed on Volibear can be pretty deadly. That ult can do so much damage if he's attacking during the entire duration. Wit's end is pretty strong on volibear, old zekes use to be alright too.

No, it does. They're bruisers like Teut said.

The idea of "melee carry" as a glass cannon melee is a total fabrication by Riot. The itemization of melee carries in DotA matches the pattern of those in LoL, which is heavily defensive-item oriented (Antimage's lategame 6-item build for example is basically 1 full-offensive farming item, a full-defensive item, and 3 half-offensive/half-defensive items (analogous to items like Wit's, Hexdrinker, Cleaver, etc.).

I don't play Dota, but from what I understand you gain health from Strength as well, right? The only way to mimic something like that is something like Vlad's passive, which they straight up said they hate (as have many players).

I was going by Riot's definition of melee carry, which as you said, is wrong, and just doesn't work in reality. Which is why Riot's definitions of shit are dumb. You generally need to build melee champs like you stated, or else they just go *squish.* The only real exception are certain assassins, like Zed, but they aren't exactly melee carries or bruisers, but "assassins" which is completely different anyway.

Yes you gain health from Strength. The "half-offensive/half-defensive" items Yango talks about are generally stuff like Manta which gives you a mix of Agi/Str/MS along with utility ability. The full defensive item tends to be a BKB or Heart(Warmogs). Really it's the BKB that changed everything for a melee carry.

But ye lol can't really do that since the system purposely took out those complexities. So have to find own way of doing it which I think already happens, people just refuse to believe it or try act like it's something different.

I mean, Strength and Agility being inherently half-offensive half-defensive stats doesn't matter so much because that's implicit in the cost of those items. Compared to a Vitality Booster, you're paying for the fact that an Ogre Axe gives you damage as well.

This is the problem. AFAIK Agility provides attack damage, attack speed, and armor on agility heroes. How broken is that.

LoL had this too - it's called Atma's Impaler. And we all know how popular this item is right now.

Well it's counter-balanced by the fact that agi heroes tend to be as fragile as paper early on. Power-curves in essence. You trade the weak early game for superior item scaling. The whole game is about finding advantageous trades. Having good scaling is meaningless if you never get to a point to use it.

Atma's will always be broken or meh because just the idea of getting damage from tankiness (and vice-versa) is inherently something that has the capability to break the game.
