Are Hybrid runes any good before I invest some 15k IP into them? cost is kinda dumb... Mostly looking at like Cho and Elise in lane.

More Detialed Blood Well Passive: Upon taking fatal damage, Aatrox extracts the current blood in the well and recovers it as Health over 1.5 seconds. When using an ability that costs Health, Aatrox stores 70% of the self-inflicted damage into the Blood Well.

The Blood Well has a base of 35% of the max pool, 225 second Cooldown, and decays 3% of the well a second while out of combat.

Also while I'm at it why are all my games exactly 180 ping or exactly 240 ping totally at random. Is this an east cost/west coast server thing? I know nothing about computers. :S

I use them on Kayle, Fizz, Elise, and Kennen. I bought them because I had 100K IP.
But frankly, not worth unless you're satisfied with your champion pool and runes.

Man, LoL should have jacked something like this up for All-stars weekend. Oh well... Guess I'm gonna subject myself to Papa John's for the good of Esports.

So Aatrox passive has been confirmed to be a weak revive mechanic with long cooldown. Seriously what is even the point I don't understand. Instead of something cool and interesting it's just the standard with some different paper rapping.

Okay what's the proper response to this situation:

I'm Irelia top vs. Vlad. I'm giving smiteless leash at blue and vlad starts pushing the lane before i get there. I just farm for a bit, letting the lane push slightly, planning on letting the wave reset at level 4 and then going aggressive. Naut does the 3:05 gank, no damage, i just back up to my tower. I have river brush warded, and naut is just gonna camp. My jungler is camping bot. Vlad shoves the wave to tower, and Naut just comes walking through lane. I back up behind tower into exp range but out of range of cs. Naut continues to just walk at me. My jungler is still bot despite me asking for help.

Do you:

- Leave tower and lose all the cs and exp.
- Try to trade kills and hope to bury the junglers' buffs?
- Something else I haven't thought of.

I traded kills, but I couldn't even go back to lane afterward. It became clear that I was going to die no matter what, so I tried to die before Naut (even giving up the first blood), but I died just after and Vlad got the buffs. Also, my team continued to not come top, and Vlad farmed another wave past tower. When I got back to lane, I was barely level 3, and Vlad was more than halfway to 6 with double buffs, and I couldn't do anything. I feel like that would have probably been the outcome no matter what, though. I'm just confused.

Trading kills is fine. You can be really fucked in your lane, just as long as your jungler does the same to a different lane. If their jungler applies more pressure on lanes then yours, it isn't your fault that you're losing your lane. If you strictly lose 1v1, it isn't your junglers fault you're behind in your lane.

If vlad is shoving, you should either shove back, pick a champion that can't get shoved in, or make sure your jungler is there to keep him off the turret. Atleast two of these options are entirely in your control, and if you picked your lane but didn't account for this possibility, it's still entirely your fault. Just so we are clear on all your responsibilities in a lane.

Not that I think it's some masterwork of creativity, but how is it 'just the standard?' Zac's passive has the delay of his blobs popping and getting killed or not, and Volibear's passive doesn't happen at death(and heals him for an amount that only varies with his HP). Aatrox's will be like a weird combination of both of those, and it sounds like it will have a weird sort of Poppy passive flavoring(all damage exceeding your current hp is reduced to 0 because it can't kill you, instead you are left with 1 hp and your heal kicks in). It also sounds like it could be fucking terrible if there isn't some front 'burst' to the heal, because any followup attack that is more than w/e the first heal amount is just kills you anyway.

They should have picked pizza hut or something that is international. No papa john in my coubtry... I would so love to support pizza eating e-sports.


I didn't understand a thing. When you die, you stay at 1hp instead and heal up for the said amount ?
