Playing Draven without wicked blades feels so weird. I guess I'll get used to it. On the positive side of things, I can harass people cowering under their tower without drawing tower agro 24/7.

Oh man, I hadn't thought about that. That will be nice actually.

Well Heimer is getting a full blown rework so that's why it's taking so long. I can't speak for GP, although at the rate they are retooling old champs I wouldn't be surprised if he gets something done to him soon(tm).

You can play both heimer and GP at any level. Instead of complaining and waiting for buffs, try to find ways to play your favourite champion. It's not like they are olaf level of bad or they'd be buffed

Well, technically the current GP is the reworked GP.

I want to start playing Corki again but i'm not sure how to build him now

Would you still consider triforce a core item on him? SoTL/Triforce or BT/Triforce?

What do think about tear and iceborn gauntlet?

(I've read the Corki thread, i want to hear some more opinions)

I don't follow...what's NOT good about knowing this? Knowing you can't outrun their TF/Ryze is a huge deal, as is knowing when someone is running a setup specifically set to all-in you pre-6 in lane. Most of the time this stuff doesn't matter (I mean, just about every AD runes the same setup with minor changes) but sometimes it does.

What other "big picture" advantages with bigger rewards are you thinking of, that's not how to properly lane against your opponent in the first 5min of the game? I'm only Gold but I still think about these things, and runes/masteries definitely affect lane trades and all-in potential. I guess your point was that you should focus on playing better, which I agree with 100%, but I'm saying that lolnexus gives you a free look at what to prepare for in a lane, before the game even starts.

Yea sorry I didn't convey my point that well. The bolded part was what I was trying to say. While it gives you information that you might not have direct access to early the relative gain over just focusing on improving your own play is small. Stuff like knowing you can't outrun someone is something that you should instinctively look at as soon as you see a champion.

I feel like it can even hurt your own play. You get bombarded with all this extra information that might not influence certain events but because you know this info that you wouldn't have before you overthink things and play worse. I'm just a sucker for simplicity really.

I'm not even sure what it would take to get GP really viable again, obv no animation on e, but what else? Maybe rebuff his passive so it stacks more? Even with that it seems like the arms race top lane means he has to build tanky to survive, leaving him useless in midgame til he can farm up items, by which point the game is probably decided. Plus the "stay in lane farming for 25 mins while helping team with ult" is kind of obsolete with how fast laning phase ends nowadays, combined with his lack of pushing power, wave clear, and tower killing means he can't even punish the enemy top if they leave lane. I guess he could survive mid but even then why pick him over any other stronger AD mid?

These guys were legends, pioneers, and an inspiration for an entire generation of gamers, professional or not. Here's to hoping there will be more of the same to come for the future, and that all the blood, sweat, and tears poured by these epic individuals does not go to waste. Here's to hoping that their successors build on their legacy, not try to leech off what they have built, and that these guys get remembered for what they were.

Never works for me

Its always worked surprisingly well for me, but you play with better people

It's also really easy to pick up a kill if you have a good timer on the enemy support's first river ward. When he goes in to reward (that's a confusing term), you can roll right up and murder him- Rammus just feels crazy strong in early jungle fights. I really depend on that kill to get going though.

Muramana's interesting on Corki, though he needs to upgrade Tear asap given he can't really stack it well as an ADC until level 6 if he gets it, and even then it's slow compared to Ez.

I'm sure it's already been mentioned, but Blade can never not be cool.

I'm not seeing the Muramana synergy on Corki, unless he just needs the mana regen that badly?
