So between last night and today all this hate on the NA scene is really looking unjustified. These Chinese teams playing so badly. O.O

Like it's not even random fails like that not tanking baron one, just so many bad decisions overall.

Difference is China's much more mechanically proficient.

Hi everyone, I'm a long time lurker on the site and finally decided to take the leap and join officially. Starcraft 2 didn't do it for me unfortunately, so I moved onto league. Started playing it this year. I am enjoying it, but I'm just a lowly, lowly bronze player. I play on the Oceania server, mostly in the mid lane with a bit of support thrown in for good measure.

I have a question about Hextech Gunblade. Is it really that bad? I want to buy it on some champs that could use the active and spell vamp (e.g. Cass) but the rest of the stats are pretty much wasted. Is it a noob trap? Being a noob, I'm trying to avoid as many as possible.

There are simply many better options for champions to get than Gunblade. It's a huge investment and you need to really benefit from both forms of vamp. The active is nice but no where worth it for the item cost.

Akali is really the only champion I'd actively advocate Gunblade on.

Edit: I missed that you mentioned Cass. She doesn't benefit from the AD or Lifesteal at all. wei2coolman covered the better options.


Ah fair enough, guess I was overvaluing the active. It's just such a niche (I knew Akali's get it fairly regularly, but that's it) item, wanted to see if it has other applications.

Thanks.

If you really favor slow on Cass; Rylais on her is very strong as well.

NA is really stepping it up. If C9 keeps their momentum like this, they can compete with China I think. But tbh China plays like crap these days, but remember that the last time they met at Allstar, China pwned everybody except Korea with just sheer individual strength.

sufficiency, decay doesn't damage your elo, so if you start playing on that account again it'll just fling fistfuls of LP at you for wins until you get back to gold V pretty easy.

actually, i don't have a source for that but i'm pretty sure decay damages your elo. That's how old system worked and i don't think it's been changed. Only change i remember is dodging not afecting elo
