It wrecks support Vel'Koz, which IMO was the only good way to play him.

"Tantrum"
A new "Tantrum" texture for the resource bar ( where you normally see Energy, Mana, or even Mordekaiser's shied ) was added in today's patch.




There are three different colors - Empty, Blue (calm ) , Red ( active ) , and Yellow ( warning ) . They are not hooked up or used in game and there are no other details. Guess we'll just have to wait and see...

hmmm..

So...Essence Reaver is finally a good item. Still not as good as IE but it's definitely an item to consider besides IE or Mercurial.

Which I think is kind of silly because the same issues that people apply to him apply to Syndra too, but she's considered a decent pick. Especially with this ult ratio change.

yea I'm lukewarm on the Vel'Koz changes, lower base damage is bad for support as is less slow, and the buff part does not address the reasons he can struggle in solo lanes [we'll see how it plays out this isn't me saying omg rip] but my inital impression is he's better on live.

difference between Vel'koz and syndra is Syndra can max a skill that will assist her in not getting shoved, and a spell she can harass with all at once

So how should we do this? Are we only listening to people with a certain rank or higher? Why not just judge things based on their merit as an argument rather than basing it on how it comes off?

I mean, I basically instantly know whether or not a concept is worth investigating or whether it's total garbage when I read it. No big deal. But then again, I think the capacity to understand what's worth looking at and what's bad is the same capacity you need to simply be good at this game in the first place. I feel for all the baddies out there, but the only way to get better is to figure shit out yourself. Don't just listen to every post you come across, apply some discernment.

you can't put forth something like that without the s1 screenshots and pizza Dyrus!

About accountability, long ago there was a forum hero that stopped the bs, not afraid of calling out anyone. this hero left after completing his callout masterpiece, some say it was his biggest mistake, other say it was his best work

Actually, +750 for 20 AD. A little less efficient than 2 longswords but you gain more slot efficiency for end game. Manamune also received the same treament so Blue Ezreal now has some end game power in exchange for a little more time to get going.

20 AD. It tied for the cheapest 80 AD item in the game. And lets champions who rely on mana more than those who don't utilize it fully in a lategame build.

My mistake, thought it went from 60 to 70 instead of 50 to 60 in the previous patch. Still don't think it was a positive way of going about it.

I think it's a much better item in lategame, but its first item timing is still underwhelming.

Shoulda gave it free AD without increasing cost, so it's first item timing would be more competitive. I'm not even sure why they're trying to make the item good, if it does become good it'll be athene's cancer level good.

So at level 16 with 600 AP, Velkoz can do 1,500 magic damage and 370 true damage (if the target already has one passive stack). Could be pretty good with some comps.

Yeah, but it takes two times longer to do that damage and Fiddlesticks is a pretty strong jungler in solo queue.

It's interesting that Fiddlesticks is no longer one of the highest winrate champions in the game, he used to be there for a very long time. He actually stuck around in top10 a pretty long time after his latest nerfs too. Whatever happened to our love, it used to be so good?

he used to have a good single target cc.
then they butcherd it's length.
then made it even worse to make them always walk away.

I'm just dumb, he used to be like 3rd or 4th highest winrate so I looked there, didn't see Fiddle and concluded he isn't top10. He actually moved to the #1 spot this week! :D
