Aren't Akali and Urgot junglers Nightblue likes to play occasionally? With nearly 100% success whenever he pulls them out? I mean the dude is probably the best non-pro solo queue jungler out there, and if he thinks its worthwhile...


Well, that's pretty easy to check. He's 9-16 with Akali and has 0 games with Urgot.


Huh, probably was on one of his smurfs then. That devalues his performance a lot. Could've checked that myself though, d'oh.

He had a decent amount of Akali jungle games in which he did well but it was on his Nightbloo EUW account.

I don't watch Nightblue much, but as I recall he won a couple games with jungle tank Akali and proclaimed it to be the next big thing, then just did terribly after that and said that really it's just bad.

So I used to do this method of SoloQ where I would play two games on my main (ranked) and if I went Win-Loss or Win-Win, I'd play the third match but if I went Loss-Loss I'd go and play on my smurf. I'd try and do this every day (so 2-3 games per day). Recently I haven't been able to play every day so maybe every 3rd day I'm grinding out 4-6 games regardless of win/loss. It feels a lot more streaky and I've been bouncing constantly from Gold V -> Gold III and back again.

Just wondering if there is maybe a correlation and I should go back to just stopping once I have a 2 game loss streak.

EDIT: trying to get plat before end of season.

I'm experiencing this at the moment, but in Silver. Constantly between Silver 3 and 4, with big win streaks to get back to silver 3 or loss streaks to be demoted. I also can't play regularly. Some nights I can get through 3 games, others 0.

To add to the unorthodox junglers list - Zyra is stupidly fun. Of course she isn't 'viable', but it's a blast brutally ganking lanes with Red buff ticking.

Not so much bugsplats, but I've never seen blatant bugs ingame as often before.

Soraka jungle is an interesting jungle. you can roam through mid lane while farming for lvl 6, donate mana + heal to keep the lane winning and go back to farming. once you get 6 pretty quickly its difficult to dive anyone on your team and soraka can turn around ganks pretty globally. otherwise she just gets tanky aura items and controls vision absolutely.

I've noticed that if I hit tab before the 'victory' or 'defeat' shows up in game, it will bugsplat/cause the game to crash. I've also noticed that for ARAM, the victory/defeat screens are a lot more delayed than I remember them being.

Uh? Why Visage over Zhonya's?

@Viktor:
- his early laning should be weaker, you go from 80 to 55 damage, so his strong level 1-2 are toned down now.
- W augment still not interesting. If you want it so hard, you'd pick Orianna instead. And the stats aren't good enough to make up for it.
- the power spike of getting augment is possibly gone (you get 32 AP instead of 45 at level 7, 40% additional damage instead of 30% but the aftershock needs to hit). It'll depend on how the aftershock behaves. A lot will depend on it (ability to clear the wave in one spell, remember his E's cooldown is very significant now compared to your average ability).
- His numbers are nerfed overall, but because of how many more AP the Perfected Hexcore gives, it should help to make up for it (esp. if you go Deathcap too), along with the level scaling for Q's aa, and make him stronger damage-wise.

I'm a bit disappointed that all the augments give the same stats, but I understand that they want people to choose the utility over the stats stick. I think I'd have happily seen the stats lowered to have a bigger impact on the augments. You'd want for them to big, maybe not game-changers, but when Kha'Zix gains the AoE poke/clear from spikes or the resets from Leap for dives and teamfights, it has an effect on the game. When you get the W augment, I don't think it'll make the enemy team more eager to gtfo the Gravity Field than they are already.

Viktor's powerspike was in the midgame, not because the hexcore "falls off" (it's still 100 AP and a damage buff that'd be pretty significant if Viktor didn't have such average base stats and numbers because of he Augments), but now his early levels are nerfed, his powerspikes probably slightly worse (to terribly worse if augmented E's behaviour sucks) and his lategame is stronger. If he still has his range issues and ult glitches it won't mean much, otherwise... I dunno. In the current meta it's certainly a nerf though to hit his midgame because his lategame is already inferior to other picks (and he won't 100-0 that Kog or Tristana, let alone reach them).

For whatever reason, they like ls and no amount of history and proof will reverse the circlejerk otherwise.

Patch tomorrow.

well, he gets a massive amount of base damage on his power transfer. play him as a damage support i guess? spend the 3k on his passive after sightstone as you can afford it?

No, he gets it from levels, so it'll depend on how it scales (is it linear, or like BT/Yasuo with a huge % in the last 4-5 levels?), it makes his harass/trading actually very weak (he was strong at level 1, he'll prob lose trades instead now with the longer cd and 25 less damage, more than a quarter; it's not a big issue but I don't think he'll bully anymore).

As a support, the augments really aren't interesting. E needs you to deal damage to make it stronger, Q is mobility when somebody jumps you, and W is still W, you're paying a lot for a vacuum when you could just have Orianna be mid.
