Looks like we're back to status quo. Hope more of you lurkers unburrow and talk with us. :3

Pretty interesting presentation, first time I see this guy's channel.
I never really took the mixed damage aspect of ganking a lane as a jungler (ad jungler ganking an ap solo lane/ap jungler ganking bot or the ad solo lanes) at the timings where the enemy buys his specific resistance items (MR or armor)

What exactly do scouts prevent? IIRC scouts are pretty much awful at everything exept BGH scout-tank

iirc Scouts are why you can't just use corrupters to stop corsairs

Aegis/Bulwark ignored + Exaggerated item builds = meh

Double AP works because both AP champs typically have better Utility than bruisers. Good Examples would be Equalizer, and hemoplague top or the Anivia/Orianna type champs mid.

The term you are looking for is "Devourer". Looks kinda like a snail with wings.

he kinda goes best case scenario to prove his point, I actually really dislike this video. Mixed damage being good =/= alert the media. he also bases his entire theory of double AP being the only way to go right now on boosting your AD carries damage, then uses Jayce as an example, news flash: Jayce is your primary AD Damage source until like 40 min if you go the Muramana rush build, and he's a solo laner so,

I'm just confused why people would look at a video saying Jayce/Zed/Khazix decrease your ADC's damage output and give a shit, then at the end when he tries to make it not about solo q, guess what dog, if you are running one of these solo lanes in an arranged comp, you can run a support AD like Varus/Twitch/MF

intelectual diarrhea.

It's a nice presentation, but it thinks of things in way too binary a fashion.

For example aura items (ageis, locket) are pretty good against double AP comps.
Plus, he ignores the fact that stacking health is equally good against AP and AD champions - and there is no way you're renekton has 3 mr items in the midgame, come on now. Plus he could use #s to say "Renekton dies in 9 hits with this build and 11 hits in this build, etc..
Plus, he ignores armor pen/magic pen and it's midgame effectiveness

Anyway, its a nice presentation, but really doesn't show anything of much use

Too much theory.

Most of these things were considered when people started doing bruisers mid in tournaments again. I'm not saying I disagree with the logic though. He just needs objective proof.

Also Jayce is a horrible example of a physical damage only champion. Jayce can have significant magic damage from hammer W and hammer E.

I'll definitely be more attentive to watching the effect of AP jungler ganks against heavy armor tanks though.
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.

Yeah... still pretty sure scouts aren't the reason you don't use devourers against corsairs. It's cause if you try to tech up to devourers while your opponent is running something like DT + Corsair, then your opponent just comes and fuckin' kills you.

LoL is having a few problems on NA. Spectator mode they say is broken. Connections to the server seem shaky (or it's my internet). I was once waiting in queue for like 2 minutes. I know that doesn't sound long but I never wait that long. Then when I tried to cancel it, it said I'd been disconnected from pvp chat. Well then why keep the timer running? And after two games I didn't go to the post game screen. It's still playable but it's a bit buggy.

dont play ranked on patch day

pretty good rule imo


That's exactly why you play ranked on patch day.

Had a bad game? Loss Forgiven.

Adobe Air isn't the problem, it's the crappy programming behind it. It's perfectly possible to create a good client in Adobe Air

Also, if they make a new platform I guarantee it will be broken for at least three months as they iron everything that they missed. Legacy code systems are full of cruft, but they also have a lot of institutional wisdom baked in that isn't usually well-documented (e.g. we do this unintuitive coding so it gets better performance and doesn't take down the servers whenever more than 1,000,000 people are on)
