Neato.

idk if naniwa would be good in a team game like league lol.

Maybe he'd be like uzi and needs someone to tame him to unlock his potential. That's when sase switches to league and naniwa/sase becomes the greatest bot lane ever.

Did some analysis on Yasuo counters, results below (with all the junks filtered out):

[image loading]

When Yasuo plays against Nidalee, for example, Yasuo wins 4.8756% more often, after adjusting for overall power of Yasuo and Nidalee. On the other hand, he seems to lose (1 - 0.9.622) * 100% more often against Fizz, after adjusting for overall power of Yasuo and Fizz.

surprised he streams on twitch instead of afreeca where he'd probably make more money.

While I like that he streams to the west now, it's still questionable considering he's on break "for health reasons."

Agreed. His ult being plain outclassed by jinx ult is one weakness and will be addressed by this change, but he has a ton of other weaknesses that make him underplayed like his low range.

I am going to run it for Lux and Veigar once my current batch is done. So maybe later tonight? We'll see. I can eventually do it for every champion, but right now it takes ~1 hour per champion so it's kind of slow.

Meanwhile, here's Leona:

I really like this new format better. It's easier to read.

I'd like it if they tweaked Graves a bit, maybe gave him some horrendous base attack speed but significantly increased his passive defense steroid and the rest of his damage mitigation and turned him into a character that was a poor AD but was extremely effective as close-range bruiser.

You mean apart from the fact that he already has 0.625 base AS and only 2.9% per level, making him bottom of the barrel in that regard?

Problem with graves is he doesn't really fit the meta AND his numbers are a bit on the low side.

lets face it, graves is just a bad lucian. he would need significant buffs to get play over said champion. Probably on his tankiness or his smoke or something that gives him an actual niche because Lucian outclasses him in every other way.

The only reason to pick him ever seems like if you are doing some gimmicky darkness comp or something. nocturne/graves/bunch of assassins so other team has no idea whats goin on or something trl0l0l0l

Except that Jinx, Ezreal, Corki and Sivir all have lower AS at 18.

And its not like quickdraw is a massive steroid or anything.

I think that having low range, low utility and unimpressive self peel make Graves pretty meh.

Yeah, it's not like Jinx's steroid beats his natural AS after one attack, and his own steroid after two, and that if she doesn't use it she has a 175 range advantage on him.
It's not like Sivir's steroid is bigger than his and she deals better AoE damage than him in terms of dps so after his burst (which is low by level 18 standard) she'll quickly gain the advantage.
Oh, or the fact that Corki's spells give him way more damage and that he can effectively kite with missiles for a way longer reach than his.
Ezreal was specifically set to the same AS as him around when W was broken. He has longer reach with Q, and his steroid is virtually always up.

So yeah, for someone who's got one of the shortest ranges and reaches, he's actually not outputting much dps. Also his base AS+range mean it's actually a pain to last hit with him early on against a lane with range advantage for example (stuff like Leona makes up for it because it provides a big threat to create space after level 2).
