He brings very little initiation and doesn't do anything if he's being kited. His major weaknesses show because at some point, it doesn't matter that your Q does 1000+ damage if you struggle to resolve it on a squishy champion, and wither isn't as strong when the support has Crucible and there is more than one high damage threat on the enemy team. He particularly struggles against AD carries that have have multiple gap openers so they can keep him away during wither. He's strongest at 2-3 items, especially when it comes to securing objectives very quickly, and before the whole game is full items and he gets to leverage his solo lane high-farm style against others. I'd take a 6 item Kayle over a 6 item Nasus any day. That invulnerability ult is incredibly powerful in late game teamfights, and she does a shitload of damage extremely fast. | ||

70% more scaling stats with no item compensation? Really? Neutral buffs that wander around the river and grant a speed shrine? Because holding the river on a baron/dragon fight wasn't powerful enough? But now we get to determine which side of this has the advantage depending on luck of the draw from when you arrive (if its a speed shrine that advantages the attackers/defenders basically) A jungle that is insanely opaque? Jungle items which turn smite into an enemy damaging ability, negating the ability to take roughly anything but those options because you will get 1v1'd by the other jungler if you don't? People weren't sweeping enough wards so they made it impossible to ward the enemy wraith camp. ZZ'rot portal just in general?! Its got armor and MR in a game where the design philosophy is to not have both because you should get health instead in that situation. It spawns creeps for you so you don't have to worry about lane manipulation. Mejai's starts with 5 stacks so there is literally no downside to buying it. Then on top of it all they nerf Janna's W because they hate fun. Just jesus christ who came up with this shit? | ||

Your final stats at 18 are only marginally different - 68% of your PER LEVEL gain in stats - approximately 50 more HP and <1 armor/MR. You aren't ending up with 70% more total scaling stats - you're ending up with 1700% stats gained over 17 levels, which is the same as current. The difference is, the gain from level 1-2 is smaller than the gain from 9 to 10 etc. The only difference is that those extra stats from level 1 are still there. Your level 1 stats are slightly higher. Your stats gained per level at pre-10 levels are lower. Your stats gained post-10 are higher. This means the levels with the biggest gaps in stats (eg:between level 1 and 2) is slightly smaller. | ||

Less so on champion changes because there are a lot more numbers there and you have to also be actually good at the game to have better judgement of how a kit of a champion works. But item design is basically a numbers game on various dimension axes and so far playing the skeptic has worked pretty well on how "effective" Riot's jungle changes through forced itemization works out. | ||

Mostly dislike the "Everything is a cloth/null-magic item!" approach as well. Everything else I'm neutral or better about. | ||

This also marks the return of like shy, mundo, etc to the jungle. Shy shy with that slow will be amazing. I'm actually so hyped. | ||

Idk if we're good at predicting item usefulness as much as we always assume they're going to be shitty, and lo and behold they items are always shitty. I think if a good item change rolled around we'd still call it shitty. | ||

TL thinks everything is going to be shitty all of the time. It's old and tired, and wrong most of the time. | ||

Having to learn Beam and Shielding as separate mechanics seems needlessly convoluted to me. The bonus MS/resistance in base is essentially analogous to high ground miss chance, but with the RNG component removed. A little boring, but not a bad direction to go. | ||
