I think it sooo so annoying. -.- Jungler problems really, so used to holding tab down so I forced to look at mini map and how lanes are doing. | ||

It seems that even in normals, my hidden ELO raises the MMR too much and everyone but me gets shit on in the first five minutes before it's possible to help them, regardless of what role I play. It's alright playing with one or two of them but any more and the game generally turns out pretty poorly | ||

Its impossible to carry 2 feeders in 3v3 unless you are an ADCarry hero. | ||

Let's assume you are bad, like horible at this game -> you get matched with other bads -> sometimes you get a br ==> every br you get matched with sucks | ||

It's alright playing with one or two of them but any more and the game generally turns out pretty poorly I do this all the time playing as D1 with bronze and silvers. I have the best results going mid with Diana because she has strong 1vX potential when fed and farms like mad with both wraith camps. Sometimes I take TP, sometimes ignite. You have to recognize that they're going to lose lanes, and sometimes they will feed too hard to win. You can't stop that. But on a champ like Diana you can insta clear and roam or farm your way to a chance to carry. You can get fed off your lane in both kills and farm, and fuck with their jungler in his own jungle. It also helps if you can get your teammates to play champs that aren't useless if they get behind in farm and kills. Like tanky cc bots. Kha'zix can do this too. What you need is the trifecta of insane farm speed, the ability to get multiple kills in lane, and 1vX potential on their fed carries in teamfights. | ||

Change to her passive seems like huge early jungle buffs. Is W now an AA reset? | ||

In the LCS, we saw Vlad (dunno any other champs for sure) picking up Spirit of the Spectral Wraith in quite a few games. Spirit of the Elder Lizard is getting popular on Ezreal (someone mentioned on Jayce), and maybe a couple other AD scaling champs as well. These jungle items give a cost efficient mix of damage, CDR, and spell vamp or true DOT. The regen is a nice bonus, and the butcher passive is icing on the cake because it makes last hitting easier, and adds a not-insignificant amount of objective control. Although right now they seem to be fairly the niche, the fact seems they are borderline too cost-effective, even ignoring the smite CD being totally wasted. They almost feel like mini-triforces for a certain "role". | ||

It's basically like BotRK on ADCs currently. It's sometimes a strong first buy on certain champions in certain situations. | ||

As far as that all blue ez build goes, it sucks, just a dumb fad. I'm all for more powertiming itemizations though; Riot needs to make better midgame items, not midgame items that transition to lategame counterparts. | ||

They almost feel like mini-triforces for a certain "role". butcher doesn't work on lane creeps bro yeah they are great, what i never see is people getting spirit of the ancient golem in lane. Its a great survivability item and very cost efficient+allows you to get tenacity and pick other boots like sorcs or tabis or mobi which are really good on certain champs/situations. I also get it on top of Spirit of the Spectral Wraith for jungle Elise, as its perfect midgame survival item and allows you to build sorcs for the pen which she loves, its still extremely efficient without the butcher passive, easily as efficient as your other choices for health (locket, Aegis), and more efficient than sunfire/mogs, which I don't need that much survivability yet anyway. Its a perfect midgame survivability item. basically its really good, its efficiency is so good and that tenacity is amazing, there was a reason a while back everyone in every role got mercs. | ||

I mean, she was always strong, but now her big weaknesses before kind of mitigated. Before she had a weak first clear, and while her kit had damage, it wasn't really bursty damage, whereas now she can actually surprise some people. Q-Auto-W-E in my experience actually hits fairly hard; reminds me of J4 EQ-auto-W. Both great initiators, great clearers, great gankers. W is an auto reset now, which is huge for clear speed. I dunno, i likes her. I think she might get nerfed real quick though. | ||
