Looks like we're back to status quo. Hope more of you lurkers unburrow and talk with us. :3 If you have any issues or comments about the new design, feel free to PM Neo. |

Her shitty range also refers to her shitty standoff range, ie she doesn't have any abilities that go past that 550 barrier unlike a ton of other adc's. Yeah, like Corki/Graves/Ez all have the same range or shorter but have Missile Barrage, Buckshot, and Mystic Shot to make up for that.
Plus Vayne is squishy early compared to some of those. So you get bullied, which is why people QQ. She could have Tryndameres range and no one would cry if she still carried as hard but could tank all day during laning.

I tried the Siberia V2's, but they didn't go over so well, and I've heard really mixed reviews about the Kraken. Any suggestions? I'd say if you only play SC/LOL, just buy something comfortable since I don't think you can notice the sound quality or need the sound quality to enjoy the game. When I play LOL I always use a cheap pair of earphone, only when I play some FPS/Adventures games like Metro: Last Light or Tom Raider I use my headphone since the sound is actually a experience that build into the game.

Sometimes I feel like I'm playing a different game than reddit.
How is Annie's ult bad and how is a suggestion to increase Tibbers move speed make it to their front page? If you really thought Annie wasn't viable why would this make her viable? Mark my words, if Riot makes Tibbers fast enough that people can't kite it that well in team fights Tibbers will become the best team fight ult in the game. It's already really close considering it's an AoE stun with high initial damage and 45 seconds of 30(+.2 AP) teamfight AoE dps if the enemy team doesn't focus on it (and if they focus Tibbers they aren't killing your team for probably a full 1-1.5 seconds so it's a win-win).

If Riot made Tibbers any faster, there would be almost 0 reason to pick Viktor at all (aside from poke range).
But people thinking Annie is bad just lets me keep wrecking mid laners, so whatever.

One aspect of Annie's skills that really bothers me is the fact that Tibbers is so slow. After the initial summon, Tibber's isn't too big of a threat. Who cares what Tibbers does after the summons, trying to land a multi-person stun that does a good amount of burst damage is what makes the ult what it is. Having Tibbers walk around a deal damage is just a bonus imo. If there was direct pet control I could see it being more useful, but with the half-assed pet system Riot has in place the initial effect is powerful enough that having Tibbers be faster is really a non-issue.
Edit: Fucking Reddit
I'm just gonna be honest, Tibbers is a pretty weak ult. Upon entering the field, the burst/stun he does is great, but after that he's just a slow moving lug that does a meh amount of damage that can honestly die pretty easily if you're not dumb about it. Yep, that AoE stun, hella useless.

Man pay attention, everyone agrees the damage and stun is great but that tibbers himself is useless, and it's true.

It's remarkably NOT true though.
Early game, Tibbers' damage post summon is still really really freaking good and is a massive deterrent for enemies for his entire lifespan. In team fights it's meh, but still good.
My only gripe is sometimes he feels completely lobotomized and will run off in the wrong direction or stop moving completely - but that's just Riot's poor pet AI.

Tanking turrets ain't useless. Also, I think the point being made above is that making Tibbers more useful would break Annie entirely.

No, he isn't. In a team fight Tibbers does silly amounts of damage even after the stun. Tibbers only becomes useless if Annie dies. Even if the enemy team focuses on Tibbers for just a second to kill him that essentially turns Tibbers into a 2.75 second stun since the enemy team isn't dpsing your team. If the enemy jungler smites Tibbers? Still a win.
How many ults in the game deal the dps that Tibbers deals? How many ults make a jungler blow smite? How many ults are large AoE stuns dealing 450 (+.7 AP) magic damage instantly?
Tibbers is a team fight ult. Even after his initial cast he is still good in team fights. The fact that you can't chase people down with Tibbers doesn't make Tibbers bad. Especially when you consider that if you fail to kill someone and can't chase them with Tibbers your team can now use Tibbers to tank a tower or tank dragon.

Rumble's ult is pretty bad. I mean, the initial damage and slow is great and all, but who's going to sit in it? Riot pls.

I feel like if you're going to complain about anything in Annie's kit, it shouldn't be Tibbers.

There's a reason I visit here for discussion and pretty much avoid reddit. Stuff like that is a large part of it.

Annie has the problem of being balanced against champs that can instaclear waves, while once her stun is up she can't really afford to use a spell. Im no expert, but I was watching Froggen the other night and he kept doing that to the Annie (who obviously is not a pro, but the point is the point) on the other team.

Our chat consists of Yango dropping mad knowledge bombs and then proceeding to post them in GD.

Upon entering the field, the burst/stun he does is great Either way, I've never thought of Tibbers post-ult as relevant at all.
