Of course, then they went and gave a similar mechanic to another champ.

You can't even cc most ranged dudes against it because most ranged cc relies on a projectile (Solar Flare and Stranglethorns OP obv.).

Heck, Windwall even blocks crucible if you try to use it on an ally on the other side of it.

If you wanted a bruiser Yasuo build PD/Atma's should still get you to 100% crit with the standard rune page. Just stack healthy tank items from there.

This Quill Coat is paving the way for Taric jungle, it's outrageous.

Why do you apply logic to a fantasy game?In the end nami's wave is just a projectile.So pretty standart.It wouldve been cooler if only the part of the wave you blocked dissapeared but doubt riot can make it happen.Their engine too shitty.

Standard abilities should not be able to block ultimates IMO, I mean Fizz's E, Yi Q etc. are alright but they protect only themselves, while Yasuo wall and Braum door protect the whole team and when they are able to block an ultimate this where a regular skill crosses the line. Again this is just me

Oh that would be cool. Was so meh to see the entire wave disappear in the LMQ vs TSM game when it was right on perpendicular to the wall (in facing).

Top Nunu would theoretically make a good splitpusher wouldn't he? If you do like Athene's/Morello's and Bork, you have a pretty insane clear when you add consume and blood boil. Plus, there's no way to catch you b/c of BB and iceball. Maybe not worth sacrificing an entire lane though (on the other hand, maybe a more viable transition for lategame after he falls off).

Na because he's slow as heck to clear waves, even with BB. Same reason he's pretty slow in the jungle apart from big camps.

If Kayle has a greater than 50% winrate after that AP ratio nerf, using AP builds, I'll eat my own hat.


I don't know if they honestly expect people to stack AP with a 0.2 ratio. Rabadons after 2 rings and a nashors would only add like 31 attack damage lol

I'd like to see stuff like IE paired with another crit item - but honestly i expect people to just stack the crap out of attack speed because what else are you going to do?

I just don't see why people would build AP when Q doesn't care what you build, R doesn't scale and E gets way more damage from AD (the ratio is 5x bigger on the direct damage, 2x as big on the splash)

W scaling with AP is nice, and previously AP was the best for splash AA damage.. but now it's not, it's pretty much the same or even worse. Can kayle splash crit?

My post made no sense

If you want to play AD Kayle you have to rely on E being up to do damage, bc otherwise you're a squishy melee hero with a shitty heal, a decent Q and an ult.

But you also need AD need and need AS to be relevent if you build this way, but you have to have 40% CDR(IMO) so you can stay in ranged for 100% and shit on kids with it. But finding items that give you CDR/AS/Decent AD* is pretty difficult imo.

AP Kayle is still going to be pretty much fine id wager, just like it was the past 200 times they nerfed her

you really need CDR on her which is hard to get on AD items and still be useful, Kayle without E 24/7 when you go AP is just an ult and is otherwise totally worthless until the CD is back up


Yea, but everybody rolls Nashors anyway. That means you have 20-30% CDR based on which masteries you took, assuming no CDR runes.

I forgot about the nashors passive - so before, AA had a 0.4 AP ratio, 0.55 with nashors.. now it's 0.2 AP ratio, 0.35 with nashors

It's so low ratio though for single target :/


I'm no top level player atm, but inb4 ie/ghostblade/cleaver/lucidity/hurricane kayle wrecking everything. That would be amusing. 40% CDR with 5% from mastery.

Update on leveling an account: i get about 80 xp per win at about 35 minutes and i just hit lvl 13. i get 50 per loss, so if the game isn't going to end quickly after 20 minutes i'm better off surrendering at 20 and going to the next game. I have 6300 xp total, and i need 33700 more until lvl 30. so i'm 1/6 of the way there essentially. only 220+ hours of gameplay left until i hit 30.

this seems very excessive. 270 hours of play to go from 1 to 30 without boosts is insane. of course thats assuming all losses. so thats the most amount of time i'll have to spend if i surrender at 20 every game.if THEY surrender at 20, then i'll only have to spend 160ish more hours instead of 220. still pretty nuts.

The splash is magic damage.. but it has a 20% AP ratio.. and a 20-40% AD ratio based on level. Q likewise has a 60% AP ratio (post-nerf semi-recently) and a 100% AD ratio.

Active: Kayle ignites her sword and becomes ranged for 10 seconds, granting her bonus magic damage on her attacks and increasing her attack range by 400 (525 total range). Additionally, attacks on non-tower units damage other enemies within 150 range of the target

She has extra damage to a single target(.2 ap ratio) then bonus splashing damage(also .2 ap ratio)

It's a 100% BONUS ad ratio
Say on average you have 300 ad lategame, and thats pushing it with the way you'd need to build kayle that's +200~(roughly havent looked at her lvl 18 damage) bonus damage on Q, and thats at 6 items.
by 300 ap(roughly) you are going to surpass the damage, and you can grab that off 2 items or so easily, 400 you should pass it 100% of the time, and thats usually pretty easy to get
