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. |

E is too cheap, and shouldn't be able to do damage on its "resets" in any case.

It's not so much a matter of power, more than the fact that Zed/Kha'zix are just sort of good at everything.
Good ganking, solo killing, teamfighting, poke, sieging, lategame. There's not anything that stands out as explicit counterplay from a big-picture game plan perspective other than "play better than them" because their kits are simply well-rounded. Even if you nerf them, it doesn't make them more interesting in this regard.

Isnt that because he maxes Q first for the insane poke dmg? I thought maxing E wasnt viable because of this.
Maybe tweaking his numbers so its better early / more viable to max first is a good idea xD

No, its the opposite of a good idea. We do NOT want Pantheon to have good earlygame clear (even if it is relatively unsafe). That is the point of the whole last 2 pages. Pantheon gets to bully when he counterpicks + assassination if fed (with mediocrity if not). THAT IS ALL HE GETS.
Your plan is like giving Draven Buckshot.

Its something to do with the fact that i teach english, but im not sure why.
Once i finish work, my mind just stops giving a fuck lol. Probably because im so bad at english i have to concentrate like a DBZ character powering up just to teach decently.
I suppose my mind just doesnt want to put the effort in while im typing casually lol

His mana is completely fine. All these manaless and low mana cost champs have just made people completely ditch the idea of mana management as a relevant skill. Especially with mana/regen items being all the rage right now across all roles. mana stopped being an issue right around when people started buying grail i love how nobody runs mana regen runes anymore either
You honestly need armor to survive half these ganks now. Xin coming from behind you and jumping on your face is almost hitting for true damage if you have like 13-20 armor.

CTU and LG-IM 2 seem to be the teams to keep your eyes out for to be the next SKT#2 for next season. LG-IM2 eliminated MVP Blue, and CTU absolutely murdered KT Rolster A. I can see KT just kicking their A team and picking up CTU.

So all that "I'm not a confrontational person ;_;" thing you've got going is actually a ploy to keep Neo from retorting by guilt tripping him? You're such a bully deep inside.

So im going to take the time to revise all my runes / masteries today. Apparently they arent optimal anymore O.O
