I dunno, I think he needs the quill coat. I also dont think EL adds much to him as a champion. The burn is pretty minimal compared to his Passive, and i think him having that extra armor and HP is a big deal in early game skirmishes. I agree he is somewhat summonder dependant lategame, but it also kind of depends on what your teamcomp is. If you have a Shyvana top with an Ori Middle, his flash CD doesn't mean much. But if Darius is the main initiator, then yeah it is a big deal. That being said, if Darius is the main initiator on your team you done goofed regardless... A big flaw for him sure, but considering half the junglers nowadays aren't the main initiator I dont think it is a real nail in the coffin. I want to play him in some more Ranked 5s though before I really decide how much I like him. But as of now, I have really really good vibes. | ||

For perspective, manually keeping the lane warded for 8 minutes (how long do you expect laning to continue after you already finished 2 items) would cost 150 gold, with proper trinket use. Obv you can't go golem first without getting wrecked in any reasonable matchup, so you won't be getting the jungle farming advantage until you're ~6k into your build. (First item you build + pots + interim wards + boots etc) So that benefit is only worth it if you expect to be long term afk farming jungle camps, after that point in the game. You're also going to be straight up weaker in lane than going a conventional build, as randuins/sunfire + giants belt + cloth armour is just straight up the same in trades, for 700 gold less. If you have some specific situation where you can freely build double tank items, and expect to be split pushing (with plenty of chances to farm jungle) through the mid game, and don't need mr in your first 2 items, then sure it could work, but those are pretty narrow parameters I'm just saying, after first 3 defensive item, it's a nice 4th defensive item, that's extremely cheap and offer utility. Maybe not the most slot efficient 4th item, but 2k for like 650hp, and 20 armor and 10% cdr, that's insanely cost efficient.

You see, i had less issues with release jayce, but that was because you Q-E'd the opponent in melee form, and they were forced to leave lane, so no pressure farming was pretty nice. :D | ||

Most new melees don't have this problem. | ||

I'm just saying you can't compare the "cost" of a lategame luxury item to the gold effectiveness of a 2nd or 3rd buy laning item at all. On a separate note, which are the go-to mid champs right now? I've just got back from a month and a bit away from my main computer, so all the mechanics are screwed anyway, + most of my pool is all weak right now. Figure I might as well pick up a new champ or two to re-warm up with. Yasuo seems perma banned still, so maybe picking up tf again (since assassins seem so out of meta now.) Or learning kassadin? | ||

Please Riot, tell me more about how a more complex ban phase reduces variety. | ||

I don't think we've seen 76 picks across NA EU and OGN, which has more than 5x the games played. Please Riot, tell me more about how a more complex ban phase reduces variety. Well, you'd have to compare it to 5 upfront bans vs 5 interwoven bans, not 3 upfront bans vs 5 interwoven bans. Also, it would also help if they'd stop making champions fill the same niche. | ||

-Riot wants to buff tanky utility junglers. -The reason tanky utility junglers arent played is because enemy duelist jungles waltz into your jungle and teabag you early game. -Riot releases quillcoat and updates golem. An item with absolutely awful early (<65%) gold efficiency which only becomes decent lategame when combined with several other defensive items. - wat Am i missing something here? | ||

His spell animation for his q and e in melee also have that clunky feel too. It's so he can knock you back towards his tower even if you flash on the opposite side of him, for an extra 400 distance knock-back. | ||

Yeah, it's a headscratcher why Riot chose to completely rehaul the item. They could have just given it more monster damage on its passive by a lot more and that probably would have solved the problem. | ||

I can't find it in the league patch notes on Jayce's wiki but it was in one patch. I can still do it to some slow jumps like Trist's W but Jayce will never be able to waste people's flash with melee E again. Haven't been able to do it in ages. | ||
