Is there any websites that you can search for a champion and it shows players currently playing that champion? I'd like to spectate some games of certain champions, but unsure if there is an easy way to do that.

The ls nerf doesn't really change anything at all honestly dunno why jimmies seem to be rustled.They will still be the quints of choice for ad unless you are cait/have heal supp or just feel confident you can abuse the extra damage from arpen/ad.So nothing has changed.

Seems like mages might like to take one scaling CDR Quint or something to close out that annoying CDR gap.

I think scaling CDR glyphs catching up to flat at level 9 is kinda cute. Just in time for your first maxed ability.

Doesn't change the fact we're suppose to use them, but it does seriously gimp the lifesteal you do get, for no good reason.

Lee Sin level 1 Base Stats:
513 health, 23.7 armor (counting the buff to all champions)

I think standard with 9 Defense would be +36 health from Vet Scars and +3% max health from Juggernaut. Note that this is the best possible scenario in favour of armor, all the bonus health with no bonus armor.

Lee Sin with Armor Seals:
(513+36)1.03 = 565.47 health, 23.7+9 = 32.7 armor
750.38 effective health vs physical

Lee Sin with Health Seals:
(513+36+72)1.03 = 639.63 health, 23.7 armor
791.22 effective health vs physical

Considering that health is good versus magic and true damage as well, I'd say that Flat Health runes will be completely superior to Flat Armor runes.

The one case in favour of Armor remains significant early lifesteal, which of course Lee Sin would have.

There is a good reason. Everybody uses them in all ADC matchups all the time. That's a good reason.

Runes are about giving the player meaningful choices. If there's no reasonable alternative choice, then there's no point in having the rune system at all and you have a game design problem.

Health gives you a higher cap to sustain to.

Like nafta said, this doesn't change the fact that ADC's are going to run LS quints. Because it's necessary, especially since there were no Apen or AD quint buffs. In short nothing changed except everyone's defense has become much better, and LS for ADC's has become worse.

Also, armor seals will still be decent on things like Orianna/Lulu/ (maybe lee sin?) because armor scales with shields, extra health does not.

Seals for jungle might start be better with mixing the scaling armor and flat armor. Just get enough flat armor so your first few clears are do able with good health, and the rest with scaling.

True that.

5 health pots with Armor Seals = 597.15 effective health vs physical
5 health pots with Health Seals = 556.65
Difference is 40.5

This is basically exactly the same as the previous difference, rendering the two choices equal vs Physical when you consume 5 potions, BUT Health Seals are still better vs magic damage. Lifesteal can tip the scale back in Armor's favor.

Natural regen must be considered too, which means the two options might actually be very well balanced between each other.

Armor scales with sustain, health does not.

Health gives you a higher cap to sustain to.


Its also easier to grab health as a jungler than to grab armor, since Ancient Golem doesn't have armor on it any more.

Well to be fair a lot of pros have started to not run ls quints so maybe it will leak to soloq especially after the small nerfs soonish.Personally not a fan cause ls is safer is your support is bad and there is no way to know if you will have to 1v2.

Orianna is actually on of the few mids that you run scaling hp seals in quite a few matchups right now, since she gets so much armor/mr for free from her e.
