+ Show Spoiler + Teamfight 1 @ ~5-5:30 Xin 2 Auttoattacks, Jax 5 (possibly 6). 0 Of Xin's during the "teamfight", 1 of Jax's), rest during the "chase". TF 2 @ ~12:30 Xin 5, Jax 2. (Jax died almost instantly, Xin almost died), no flare of Blade on either yet. TF 3 @ 15: Xin 0, Jax 0 (basically Mundo just chased 3 kills for free). 4 @ 18:30 Xin 8 (5 cleaning up graves) (Jax 0). 5 @ 27:30 Xin 1 Jax 0 (Jax splitpushed instead of TP to fight, he had tp up) 6 @ 30:30 Xin 5, Jax 0 (maybe 1) What does it mean? Well, if you are behind you basically can't autoattack as a melee in fights, and melee attacks are primarily used in the chase (although even including those a Dr. Mundo will HIT more cleavers in a fight, or a Zed will hit more Qs in a fight. Autoing is basically a farming/splitpushing thing for characters without range. Practically, this means an AA item designed for melee characters is going to be OP or terrible in one of those environments to be balanced for the other. | ||

Any bronze 5 player can do the 15 minute solo baron because it's a PvE thing, they just have to practice it in customs a couple times. Asking players of an equivalent skill level to keep sight on baron at 15 minutes and stop it is absurd. I'm not sure how you could possibly come to the conclusion that soloing baron at 15 minutes isn't broken. It's obviously not the intended use for the item. I'm pretty sure a bronze5 can't solo baron at 15min, they won't be able to get that much farm by then, like 100% sure. From all of my games since the patch, I've never seen anybody soloing baron, some did solo dragon but got caught and have to give up. It's not hard to keep track of the ff jungler, it's not like he's invisible up until the moment he solo baron. Everytime he shows up, you can track his wriggle stack, his items, seeing if he finishes ff, botrk,v.v.v... You have a lot of time to prepare for the moment he wants to solo baron. If you tell me that you can't keep track of the jungler, as well as can't keep track of the baron, dragon pit, then I have nothing to say. Of course I don't like how one champ can solo baron, but make it seem like it's impossible to stop is kind of absurd. | ||

Which side is more likely to win? Feral Flare. I thought it was here where we went over the win rates. FF has like a 70% win probability vs "other team doesn't build it" On April 21 2014 10:12 Eppa! wrote: Gold generation is crap compared spirit items especially in accelerated games. Madreds+Sightstone used to be meta on Lee but fell of when dps and clear speed was given higher priority than mobility. Wriggles is 1650 gold for about 1600 gold worth of stats. Lizard Elder is 2000 gold for about 1350 gold worth of stats. Even if we assume lizard elder stats are better and the passive is worth 400 gold more. Lizard would have to make about 800 more gold than Wriggles over the course of a game in order to catch up because of Wriggles 1) Cheaper/more efficient stats 2) hidden GP/10 from wards. | ||

According to Lolking she actually has a pick rate around 8.5% in diamond, but I feel like I haven't seen one in like 70 games. | ||

Good escape, self peel with ult, grievous wounds and great scaling for League of Lategame. She even fits the current 4v0 meta with her attack speed steroid to push towers faster, and it allows her to skip the first couple of levels where I believe she's weakest. She even had a small buff recently with the mana cost being removed from her Q. According to Lolking she actually has a pick rate around 8.5% in diamond, but I feel like I haven't seen one in like 70 games. I think playing her competitively is like getting on a soapbox and going "WE'RE 100% GARUNTEED TO LANESWAP AND 4MAN PUSH!" | ||

If you need an item to provide relevancy in 1-2 autoattacks, its going to be ridiculous in the even you get in 5 or 6. On April 21 2014 13:13 GolemMadness wrote: How come nobody plays Tristana?

Isn't the problem with Tristana not the earlygame where you would be 4v0ing, its the lvls 4-11? I always understood that its because she really doesn't have any AD scaling spells, and before you have 2 items and enough range to actually use them she is weak. So, actually her midgame power trough is accentuated I'm fairly certain. | ||

Her kill potential early on is really high due to her high base damages on her W and E. Tristana's biggest weakness has always been the midgame when it's no longer safe for her to use her W offensively and her Q steroid doesn't really kick in yet (due to not having many items). | ||

She's good in lane until both her and her opponent go back and buy a bf sword or something, then she loses cause her abilitys don't scale with ad. Same for midgame where other ADC do a lot of damage with their ad scaling abilitys, she only has her base damages | ||
