Doesn't Irelia ult let you choose when to shoot blades? And change direction. From what it sounds like, the culling continuously shoots, and it doesn't let you turn while using it.

I take for granted he will be broken at release.

This guy seems like a midgame monster.

I think he will feel like a longer ranged evelyn:
His ult seems like evelyn's Q and he has the same dash as her.

Rush IE to get random double critical strikes for instant kills lol.

Edit: Minus the whole invisibility part... of course...

Think John Woo. He holds both arms forward, shoots, and then strafes/backpedals while firing continuously.

Riot has really been on a roll for making amazing champions (well, besides Aatrox). Let's hope he isn't too ridic.

SotD, always crit 3 times in less than 0.5 secs, never not crit 3 times in less than 0.5 secs.

Feels a bit meh to me. Nothing really exciting or unique about him.

I feel like ADCs usually have the blandest kits.

But he's got a star-shaped explosion!
It's like... like...

Wait, why a star? Is that you, NGE?

I mean he's in a strange spot balancewise, but Draven's kit is amazing imo. At least conceptually there's a lot of interesting stuff going on behind the OP bullying.

Edit: Regarding Lucian... How is a double attack passive not broken?

Lucian looks really cool at least, his kit is kind of meh but depending on numbers will give him a lot of pushing ability and mobility. His backstory is hilariously cheesy, Riot codified in lore how OP Thresh is by having him 1v2 Lucian and his wife. Lucian picking up his wife's weapon effectively doubled his DPS and made him viable as an ADC though.

So with his ult you can run around while he shoots for you?

I don't like it, eliminates the basic mechanics of playing ad carry, like MF ult but even more cheap.

Regardless, I expect him to be popular in Korea with all their splitpushing since (from the looks of it) both Q and W are AoE and he can escape with E. Also, Korea loves Nami and they seem to really love maxing E first.

Emory is a good school, congrats! They have a strong bio/med field if that's of any interest to you.

Haha, I'm a rising junior already, been here forever.

Yeah, I'm studying Biology/ Business, aiming for a MD/PhD.

New champ looks so badass, his passive and W give him a good bit of free damage so I think you could probably play him as a bruiser top. Depending on the numbers, I can see him being really broken.

I mean I don't think any of his moves sound to crazy outside of his passive. Now that on the other hand, sounds batshit insane.

I do love that they made his rival a common bot lane opponent

Well, most of the time it's :

- an on hit effect
- a slow, sometimes a cc
- a way to farm from a distance
- something amplifiying your damage to a single target or some big ass AoE spell

Varus/Kog/Vayne/MF/Cait/... all follow those rules :p

Damnit I've been saving up IP for Nami but I'm probably going to end up spending all my IP on Lucian instead and regretting it instantly since I play waaay more support than AD carry and I already have too many AD carries and not enough supports

@ticklishmusic: OMG you're going for an MD/PhD?? i'm just about to start in UCLA's program! let me know if you have any questions about anything. and I interviewed for emory's MD/PhD program and loved it, their directors are really really nice and you should definitely talk to them if you haven't already. I was really sad when I didn't get into Emory, it was by far my favorite interview
