Because they don't like how she is now: and they said multiple times that they want to remake her as a support champion, rather than an AP carry one (that doesn't mean that she can't go mid, just that her kit is geared more toward protecting and interacting with allies; of course it's Riot so they'll make sure her numbers don't allow it wrt "mainstream").

Edit: actually it looks like they're going to keep her midlane viable. I like that in their mind "support" doesn't mean duo-laner (and that they say Nami/Thresh were designed as such as that it is a different thing from being a support) but rather how the champ positions regarding utility and damage scales.

Karma proceeds to:

Yup, going from robes and flat-chested to naked thighs and hyper busty not in contradiction with past statements at all.
Brb buying Karma, that traditional skin actually looks better than the new default.



Because remember kids if you have anything beyond a B cup and show some leg you are a stripper. Give me a break..

Y'know, he also said "anything close" with big emphasis. Sure, she's no stripper, and sure, she looks baller (I won't deny that, since they wanted to go for "badass" they did that part well), but still, compared to what she was originally, how she was seen, and the reason people liked her visual design and theme in the first place you won't tell me that there's no stretch here, will you?
Yeah, they wanted to show evolution, change, and all that, hence why they didn't update her model but rather reworked it. I can get that. I just dislike how opposite it is to the way she was portrayed since her inception, and all the details they put after several Riot graphic designers (including Iron Stylus) talking in great lengths about how they dislike sexualising things too much (said so about Diana and Quinn recently). When you try so hard to hammer such a point to your audience, coming up with such a transition as the one between current Karma and upcoming one, well... let's just say it weakens your assertions.

Speaking about Karma, there's an ex-"emissary of the league" (dunno what it was, not official Rioter, but some avatar/status on the forum) that prepared a poll and people got him to play 50 ranked games of Karma in a row. There.

The traditional karma skin does look much better to me than the half thigh one. I dunno. I don't need Karma atm. I am happy on the mids I have.

It sort of is. She's a champion that scales off of cooldowns and AP so she needs lot of gold, but her CC isn't that great. She has great lane sustain. Also even with AP, it's hard to get off the full damage of her combo because you want to use her to shield/heal/slow people as well as do damage.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

It's because you're using BotRK instead of BT as your Lifesteal item, and BotRK doesn't benefit at all from itemized crit but DOES benefit from armor pen. If you use Bloodthirster instead of BotRK, the DPS breaks even at ~100 armor for IE+LW+BT+PD vs IE+LW+BotRK+GB, even if the target has 3000 HP. For IE+LW+BT+PD vs IE+LW+BT+GB, breakeven is like 130 armor.

Also note that the BT DOES outperform BotRK at 6-item lategame. IE+BT+PD+LW outdps-es IE+BotRK+PD+LW at all achievable health values (breakeven is like 6k+ max HP).


From what I'm looking at, IE+LW+BT+PD, at least on Tristana, doesn't outdamage IE+LW+BotRK+GB unless the target has a combination of both high armor (more than 250) and low HP (less than 2500). At 2500 HP and 250 armor they look roughly the same.

I'm kind of a noob with Ask Mr Robot, and ADC's in general, but is it suggesting that if you're going to get BotRK instead of BT, you should also be getting Ghostblade?


Are you buying everything in one trip? Ask Mr. Robot doesn't count BT stacks unless you let time pass after purchasing BT (extra shop trips). If you have two identical builds both containing BT, but one is in a single shop trip and the other has BT purchased first and the other items later, the one that bought BT first and had time to "pick up stacks" has higher damage.


The BT build has it buying BT as the first item. I had a gazillion shopping trips set up.

I just tried to save and link the thing and it prompted me to register and login, and when I did it returned me to a blank page with no extra builds made. I'll redo it a bit later and give you a link if you want.

It seems entirely reasonable to me that Tristana prefers BotRK over BT, since she has no AD ratios at all and her AS steroid is so large. But I don't know if I'm doing the math right.


For Yango:
http://lol.askmrrobot.com/tools/builder/tristana-vs-targetdummy/55ed060a-039d-4eba-a89f-58f8b343d867#r=Damage,t=TargetDummy,d=Dps

Lemme know if I'm reading it wrong.

Couple things I've noticed:
1 - Ask Mr Robot isn't using the hotfixed BotRK yet, so it's modeled as 5 more AD than it should have.
2 - It has Trist using the BotRK active at the very start of the fight. It's DPS should improve the later in the fight you use it, so that your early % health passive procs do a bit more damage.

I played my first Ezreal game in... well, in months. I've played him maybe twice since PFE was released. Or maybe it was the W nerf.
Wow. I know part of it comes from my own improvement since, so the ADs I face now are better than back then, but he felt so... clunky. Sure, Caitlyn's harass in lane can be annoying, and I was supported by a Soraka with no lane presence at all, but even without that.
In my memories you could chain auto->Q pretty smoothly, with a fast and nice animation, but it's actually fairly long, and the base AS nerf makes last hitting early on so annoying. Even later actually. That was... wow. I pictured Ezreal as a nimble champ, but when Graves' aa and animations feel smoother than his, well... let's just say I gotta update those memories of Ez I had.

It means your ELO is still very far below the league average.

When I tried Quinn mid in a TROLLS game I used Quinn's ult as a roaming tool. When there was a gank/counter-gank or some other brouhaha bottom and I arrived with time to spare on my ultimate and cleaned up nicely. I also used it a couple times to shove my lane, back, buy, and arrive in time to clear the very next wave without giving my opponent a chance to buy.

The next game they banned Quinn.


I've been thinking of just using it for this purpose, or as a split pushing tool as Gahlo mentioned. I've gotten the hang of his lane phase, but once I down tower and it gets to midgame I always feel damn near useless in teamfights.

What did you build on him? Botrk-randuins-LW or something?


Since I got no answer before

I actually had a pretty informative discussion with one of the Ask Mr Robot guys via email. Testing different DPS builds is tricky because Ask Mr Robot calculates DPS from the same simulation it uses for time to kill and doesn't handle overkill properly in the calculation. You have to slide around the mres and armor sliders a good deal sometimes to make sure your builds aren't getting randomly jerked around by factors of 10-20% due to how the damage randomly falls with different AS and other factors.

The guys at Ask Mr Robot justify this by saying that their tool is mainly for calculating "time to kill" via setting up multiple 1v1s vs different opponents which they claim is better than "theoretical DPS". I don't agree with them about this (I mean why bother optimizing for 1v1 as an ADC or any other (non split pushing) role when when there's so much team fighting to do) but then they don't agree with me either.

They might have taken my suggestion and made the DPS calculator more theoretical but since it's been little more than a week since we talked I kinda doubt it.

"Using /joke, /taunt, /laugh, and /dance no longer cancel your champions movement. This is a super minor change but is awesome for those of us who like to spam Teemo laughs."

Its an obnoxious change.
Never going to mid vs lux ever again.

Edit 2: Does that means you can stand still while spamming emotes and float around?

CDR glyph buffs are going to be nice on urgot. Only need 7 CDR blue(6+1scaling?) instead of 9 to basically hit 40% with full items. Overall a pretty good buff.

Or you could hit breakpoints more easily. Going all CDR blue will make landing 4x acid hunters per grenade easier once you have a 10% cdr item (you get 0.09 seconds more to launch all 4, or about 35% extra time for 0.4 secs total).

Also just bought karma. Sup fellow hipsters.

I really like Karma the way she is, especially as a midlaner. She just needs a few buffs to be a bit more viable but I agree that a complete rework is a bit unnecessary.

Meh, I feel Riot too fast with rework without even trying to balance. They haven't touched karma in forever, but rather than do some number balances, or try working with her fan count mechanics; they decided it's it's just easier to scrap what they have now, and re-work, (which btw ,usually means removing a lot of the charm out of the champ, and feels very boring for the most part).

I feel like they should grant the special skin just for people who own her before this announcement :3

They decided to do this a loooooooong time ago. They've been working on her rework for a long time. I love the way Karma is now, but I'll reserve judgement for when I see her new kit.
