Holy crap my client's having trouble, I was in champ select, and the counter kept ticking on their last pick... then suddenly it freezes once it reaches 0, and when it stops we jump directly into the game. Looks like they locked in earlier, and had the time to do swaps and stuff while I was stuck not updating for some reason. No idea if it's me or Riot tho. | ||

The jungle items are great in gold efficiency and often you can get more mana by smashing neutral monsters (esp. If you are ad based). | ||

The fact that you've got more gold in the jungle now only helps, too, and the FotM tops are pretty limited so maybe people just relocate. It's like people forgot that when Shyv first came out, St.V was the first to do tax heavy jungle. | ||

Like, his early game is rough. Once he gets a couple of items though I think he's fine, but good grief do I get bullied in the early game by anyone. That being said Zac isn't a champion that I play that much in the top lane, so it could just simply be that I suck with him. | ||

Bruiser lovers that aren't Mundo and Renekton fans are probably like, "Vi is like Renekton, but fun!, I can play Mantheon, Wukong, and Khazix? Sign me up!" I cant think of a more boring toplane meta for soloque, even the non-competitive, but great for soloque picks are like Nasus and other boring crap. | ||

With mundo on permaban and jungler normally taking shyvana when she's open (and being useless with her) top lane normally amounts to whoever is second to pick top going against renekton. Man I'd like top more if I could just for once NOT LANE AGAINST A FUCKING RENEKTON. | ||

I'm trying to top riven but I just got shit on so hard by Olaf. Any tips on how to deal with him, at what point (time, levels, items?) to trade and at which not? I have an ok time with most of the FotM (Mundo, Shyv, Kha, Renek). I just try to trade at certain points I like but I get stomped anyway. Like at lvl 2/3 I can't really trade well, nor at 6. Those are the timings I usually go in for kills against Mundo, Nasus, Renek, Kha, etc. Plus Q/E spam is really damn annoying. Should I switch leveling Q first to E maybe? | ||

Riot basically threw 3 or 4 different patches at 3 or 4 different parts of Zac's kits (E, R, passive, etc.) without waiting to see how implementing a single set of the nerfs would have affected him. Talk about kneejerk nerfs. EDIT: I loved Zac and I am so mad that I only got to play a few weeks on flubber before they killed him. Also, anyone feel that Yasuo is just a much superior version of Aatrox? | ||

The problem right now is that junglers aare no longer gated by mana for the most part... his advantage of lack of mana is no longer showing. I think his W can use a small damage buff. | ||

He is broken in the sense that he is a very difficult champion to balance properly. So I shed no tears for ZAC lovers, who should have expected this from the start. Its not like they released an OP Jarvan or Ahri, ZAC's kit is always going to be really hard to get the numbers right on. | ||

He is just bad now because mana junglers are better. The jungle changes didn't even impact too much... itemization changes to jungle did. | ||
