I'm only going by this because there is only ever 1 bar for cc duration, which to me implies only 1 cc can be active at a time. Otherwise you'd probably need to have multiple bars on top of each other. and is it between these cc's that they have an opportunity to flash because chain cc is impossible? so even if my ult cast animation is done before they are un-rooted they will have an instant they can flash? | ||

Have to disagree, I remember fondly of the journey till lvl 30. I wish it lasted even more! Sure, now, when I'm also levelling a smurf, it's a pain in the ass, but for new players? Hell no! | ||

Do you guys think Tank junglers will edge out dmg junglers or is there just roam for both now? fwiw Saint posted that it helps nunu in the situational times it's good to pick him but otherwise it doesn't change much. so far my experience it's hard to say everyone wanted to play jungle yesterday because of the changes so I only played mid/support. as far as a buff to Nunu I don't know if I agree, I love to play nunu but the free ward just makes sightstone an innefficent buy so it's sorta -2 wards on him, I have a feeling that +25% bonus health is less effective health than being able to get ninja tabi for free, but then I get an extra slot since sightstone sucks now, idk I think he was fine before and he's fine now and this item has 0 bearing on how good he is. | ||

I've only had 2 games with tank junglers in them, once me as Sejuani and another one was a Maokai, we both ended up carrying thanks to being tankier than a fed Mundo. The +25% HP rockets you into being a glorious diving tank God. In YoloQ tank junglers are most definitely super viable now and in the 2 games I've played, ended up being much more impactful; the damage junglers felt a lot stronger early but got savagely outscaled. I'd say both types are viable, but the tank jungler puts a clock on your opponent sort of how Ryze and other scary scaling champions do too (unless of course they too has a tank jungler). | ||

Hell no! i would be ok with it if it wasnt pointless. nothing about the grind is actually teaching new players. they should have all lvl 1 runes for free and all sumoners available, the only thing leveling accounts shouldnt have is ranked queues. they need to encourage people to actually use the leveling time to learn the game, not gate keep them out of the rune system for 200 hours. | ||

It simply takes too long imo. Especially for casual players that can only play a couple games a day. | ||

Then again, you might be able to do some insane Muramana + IBG + Essence Reaver type thing. I'm thinking Zephyr + Ghostblade is a good start far as CDR goes, though it doesn't feel like enough damage. Could consider CDR boots b/c of a ton of atkspd already and some runes/ masteries as well, that gets you close to 40. EDIT: the 25% bonus hp is insane. Midgame you can tank 3-4 extra tower shots. | ||

I think this build has promise. a lot of people might shit on reaver but you really don't need Reaver on kayle until after you are maxing Q and W, and it really doesn't return a ton of man until you have runnan's anyway just an idea I'd like to try | ||

New machete: +10 phys. damage vs monsters & +5 damage reduction from monster attacks (4 pots) 325g cost Old machete: +10 magic damage vs monsters + 5 HP per hit & 10% overall increased damage (5 pots) 300g cost I personally liked the old one because it was stronger on offensive junglers (Vi, Lee, J4, Eve, etc.) but it makes sense because tank junglers really benefit after upgrading it into the Quill Coat. I hate not having that extra pot after doing a whole jungle clear, oh well. | ||

but mainly you are confusing the issue, if you are going to champion the it takes too long for casual players, I say if they are truly casual they don't care | ||

Dunno, I noobed around in blinds, and learned a lot of stuff in draft mode, so by the time I reached 30 and had to play ranked I was not that bad. Still ended up in bronze, but look the toxic bronze players now: not even that long road till lvl 30 teached them anything. The only reason I wanted lvl 30 is ranked, obviously, but I had FUN in trying out every free week champs, looking guides at mobafire (!!!!!!!!!!!!), and now laughing how stupid my builds or skill orders were. You know, when I started my smurf, it was not hard to pinpoint other smurfs, but when I was just a new kid on the block, I did not experience anything like that. On my way to lvl 30 I can't recall any games where I saw a smurf, simply because my mind was somewhere else, and of course, I di not even know what to look for. I'm sure there were tons of games where smurfs carried me, while I was like 2-1-1, and like "maaan, dis champ iz guuuud!". Right now, I'm thinking of buying a 3 day xp boost, it's less than 400 rp so I don't have to spend any additional real money. I just need 3 days break from life, haha. | ||

I don't mind leveling to get summoners, I remember when I first started I actually thought ghost was more powerful than flash becasue I would fail flash most of the time when I tried to jump walls. but mainly you are confusing the issue, if you are going to champion the it takes too long for casual players, I say if they are truly casual they don't care T1 runes are actually not bad if you need runes. You can get a full page for like.. 800 ip or something, which is better than buying T2 runes or not having any runes at all. | ||
