Dblade + 1 pot or longsword + 4 pot as ADC? Ugh i really didn't mind every ADC starting dblade but I guess Riot felt it was too good.
Derp math longsword + 3 pot
With lifesteal quints I think dblade and 1 pot likely better unless maybe you wanna rush vamp Considering the hits to equal the pot regen will be 74 instead of 44, I'm(blindly) heavily leaning towards LS3.
The problem is the point of items is to generate choice, so when every adc always starts dblade in all situations, that's not choice.
I kind of agree that dblade is being nerfed a little too hard, though. It will be even better for lvl1 all ins than it currently is, but if you're not going to try to get a kill at level 1-2 longsword will pretty blatantly be better.

People think maokai sucks because he is not lee sin.
He has actual cooldowns, mana costs and can't 1v2. He also can't jump around.
He is a good jungler if you compare him to the rest of the cast. If you compare him to leesin, he sucks yes, but so does every other champion in the game.
Problem with maokai is his strengths aren't strong enough to compensate for his weakness.
No, his only problem is he is not lee sin.
Other than that he is an amazing character, amazing peel and his ulti is completely unique in this game.

They fulfill the role of tanky initiator and do damage, the latter of which Maokai cannot do compared to them.

Mao's base damage is nuts, but it requires him to be ahead. However, this is usually not too difficult considering how strong his early ganking prowess is.

Have you met j4's base damage and overall kit? The amount of damage he gets from it is silly, all while getting free tank stats. Oh, and Zac gets to do %hp damage on a 3 second cd, and also has a 1550 range jump when full charged. Jarvan isn't far behind him in engage range either.
Also, Maokai clear speed is shit compared to season 2. You need to sit at wraiths for an extra 10 seconds slapping the big wraith around.

I think the problem with maokai is that he's very all or nothing in season 3, either maokai pubstomps everyone for a 20 minute win or the game is effectively 4v5 at least that's what I found to be the issue.
He can't clear fast enough to catch up through farming unlike say vi, elise and J4.

exept maokai is more tanky and protects his backline better. His damage is OK, he won't be able to kill adc after they get their lw and lifesteal he can still chunk them decently well, but his role is more to fuck with mages anyway

Anyone else slightly bothered by the fact that the links to LoL Tourneys and LoL Strategy are no longer at the top of this board and vice versa?
+ Show Spoiler +
I know they're linked in the sidebar and index but I just found it easier/faster to switch from there.

I got Armor of the Fifth Age Taric.
Don't even.
Pink Taric is civilization. Easily the best Taric skin and one of the most fun in the game. Its a God-tier skin.

Because they made Lee Sin and Ahri have everything you could want in a midlaner/jungler they had to nerf their numbers to shit.

if you are trying to make arguments for Maokai not being picked (should not be hard) damage isn't one of them I don't know why you guys are still harping on it.

Maokai cant farm very well, which means he is typically underleveled, which means even if he has 1 or 2 more successful ganks he still may be behind. Also, he kinda needs moba boots, which sucks.

Mid/ top Mao is pretty good if you run a jungler that doesn't need blue.
|
he is like skarner, everyone say that they suck but you never know when one proteam is going to pick him in LCS and then the OP chants come back.
What do those 2 have in common? extremely unique kits and especially ultimates, if instead of running always the same bland team you make an effort to try to come up with something creative that take advantage of those abilitys, then they become OP

I don't know if there are any standard junglers that need blue though. Amumu and Sej usually give their second blue? And every jungler takes their first blue even if they have no energy or mana.

I'm recently having a weird issue since the last patch. I seem to connect late to champ select in chat. Is it only me that's having this issue or is it everyone? I'm so confused by this. The biggest issue it causes is I do not know what roles people prefer, and generally have to end up playing support(which I don't seem to be good enough to carry with at the moment) i get this every game too, but i still base my role on what is available after the people above me have picked so i don't play support any more frequently than before.
Okay good. I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't going crazy with this. I asked if anyone else has that issue in chat, but no one responds during the champ select in regards to the question.

Have you tried going into your site settings and doing something like "Revert back to per-game blocks" or something? I haven't actually tried it but it sounds like it does what you want

Is LoL acting up for anyone else? I'm trying to play draft normals and I've been in queue for 5+ mins now.

Sometimes the client just lies to you and says you're in queue when you aren't.

I don't know what your MMR is, but if you are falling behind you are doing something very wrong.
