. However, in S2 my ranked games were something like 28-2 in that time slot due to ease of carrying + quality of teammates. (Less arguing, more cohesion, friendlier players on both teams, etc). I went something like 2-8 at the 8pm slot before I gave up that experiment.[Patch 3.03: Quinn] General Discussion - Page 99

Diving includes looking for dives, executing dives, preparing for them, etc. Hate to put you on the spot but I would love to hear about what makes a good dive, what comp makes a good dive, and what comps you van dive on. I don't even play, and can't for 20 months (counting down) but would love to read it and I am sure others would about. If you made a guide about diving I am sure many people would read it and improve from it. I only say this because you have mentioned diving importance at least twice now. Write a thread on it man, I would read the shit out of a bly "How to Scuba like a baws" learning thread. | ||

You just have to know who's going to be able to take how many turret hits people can take and not make stupid mistakes. It's something you learn by doing much moreso than by theory imo. | ||

I have been starting mp5 thingy, ward, 1 mana potion and 4 health potions. This lets me sit back and farm with Q while being safe early. I grab philo stone on my first back as GP needs early mp5 and he works really well with shurelias and he is a very safe laner so i do not mind getting gp5 on him. I max W in most lanes, it is extremely mana efficient and a TON of health. Usually Q next for a stronger nuke. Against weaker laners Q max may be best but I really prefer W>Q>E. Even going gp5 he supports ganks like a beast, he is Gangplank. Auto Q auto is 21% slow on top of whatever CC your jungler has and when you hit 6 you have a very powerful long range slow. My build tends to evolve like this: Philo-> Avarice, boots sometimes boots 2 next, Warmogs, Shurelias, Shiv (good for poking with his Q and for AoE farm) I find these 3 items to be his "core" as you will. After this everything is situational. I have gone IBG, Triforce, Frozen Heart, Randuins ETC. Resists and CDR are his best stats after his core. E up time, W downtime and spam that Q. Also posting in the Gangplank thread just wanted to get some attention since he hasnt been looked at in forever! He is still a beast! | ||

He use to be so awesome (before huge ass nerfs) But all he's good for is being an annoyance, he doesn't really do all that much damage, and his ability to contribute in teamfight just seems to be an aoe slow, with single target slow. If that's the case, there are just champs who can pretty much do the same thing in teamfights (albeit not with global ulti), and do more damage. Not that I'm saying he's not viable, but there are just better picks at higher level of play. | ||

Q: 120+100% AD 3 second cooldown at max CDR that can crit and applies his passive slow and damage... W: 360 Health heal that doubles as QSS... on an 11 second cooldown with 40% cdr E: Passive of 16 dmg and 7% MS, active of 40dmg and 20% ms... half of which is given to your team R: Huge AoE slow of doom. His damage is high enough and he doesn't die. His 7 second steroid has only 5 seconds of downtime and is fairly significant for a teamwide buff. Combined with the current popular junglers like J4 and Vi they wreck face when diving together. Not to mention he also plays well in a low economy setting. I think he would do well at a high level. | ||

Combined with the current popular junglers like J4 and Vi they wreck face when diving together. Not to mention he also plays well in a low economy setting. I think he would do well at a high level. Because you can't build damage on him because then he dies instantly and his AD kit is super weak in comparison to actual AD scaling champions or ranged carries if you plan on spamming Q(which costs a billion mana making harrassing with it very tough). This means you need to build tanky on him and then he has no CC and no gapcloser and a weak aura and just overall doesn't do much. He also loses like every 1v1 commitment in the toplane and doesn't have the mana to exchange harrass so you need to play very passively, perhaps maxing W though it still might not be enough and you will lose to any 1v1 commitment(which they will do after you use W to heal). I don't really get how you can say his Q is somehow a lot of damage. Just compare it to like, Pantheon spear and be amazed. That skill even has a lower cooldown and mana cost. His ult is basically a global MF E. The aura's basically the main point of picking him I guess, but Taric has a far better aura, has AoE minus armor, and also has far stronger laning while dealing more damage. | ||

But now the general LoL community is aware of how silly her ult is once you get it down to its 24 CD where you can just insta-clear waves and throw out your ult with reckless abandon. | ||

I was a little skeptical, but then I tried it for a few weeks, and I have to say it's totally true. The number of assholes you play with on like a Wednesday morning compared to a Friday night or a Saturday morning is just night and day. Got mocked when I mentioned that I avoided playing past 5-6 PM since I'm unemployed because there's way more rage and especially childish behaviour at those times, same with not playing ranked at all from Friday evening to Sunday. I still have much better experience (and results) with only playing ranked earlier. People tend to be either stacks, trolls or plain drunk dudes past 4-5 AM though.

I would say she's been strong for a while though, it's mostly about perception. Her last set of buffs was back in July (Increased base mana regen, lower mana cost on light binding and ult). And unlike some champs, the Season 3 changes weren't the reason she got stronger (not having to start boots helped her laning for sure, but it didn't have a huge impact on her damage or anything). You could have gotten the same absurd 24 CD long range wave clear nuke in Season 2 that makes her a pain to deal with now. I would say she was low-mid tier in popularity, but not power (in the last 8 months anyway) | ||
