whos good against lucian now? as an adc main i dont even know lol, no matter how good i doing in lane he just shit on me later.

No one is. He is pretty much a classic case of meant to be good a certain role/niche, turns out that niche is being good at everything. Thank god he can't dodge skillshots for free now/again.

Although, it's still a crock of shit that his dash scales down to 0 cost. Mobility (especially when ground targeted) should never be free.

emphasis mine


Its true that the solution that had come up was mana, but this is irrespective of the axiom and simply representative of the idea that the mobility skill use should present limits on the use of the rest of the kit.

Emphasis: Read the fucking posts before you reply.

you just said nobody explicitly said that the cost has to be associated with the ability when JazzVortical clearly stated that twice, I am not the one who needs to learn to read

There's a logical disconnect here where Goumindoug is trying to have a discussion about ability balance and how to moderate the strength of a strong skill, while Scip was just trying to call out a poster who said something retarded.

Suppose we make Ashe arrow on a zero second CD with zero mana cost.

We can totally balance this champion right?

Against Lucian, I feel like Corki does fine. Caitlyn is alright pre-back. No adc really though can match his mid-game, burst and safety besides Corki, but Lucian doesn't fall off as hard as Corki in the late late game.

Well if other people had zero CD zero mana cost blink or some other ridiculous abilities then yea it would make a balanced champion. Can't look at skills in a vacuum when talking about balance.

Akali, 3 dashes w/ close to zero cd (1-2 cd dependin on rank). Still balanced, relatively, because of bad pre-6 and stuff.

Its usually understood that we are always talking about the context of the current game.

The point is that there surely exist abilities that we cannot balance for. That must have costs associated with themselves or have their power reduced in order to be balanceable. That you cannot create a workable champion around an ability that is too powerful, either they must be so hilariously weak as to be worthless, or the abilities strength will dominate the game.

Thus, the idea, that skills have no evaluation of themselves as skills is incorrect. They must, in order for us to be able to create balanced champions. They must, in order for us to be able to construct champions that are interesting to play against and with.

How many champions have zero cost blinks or dashes?

Lucian, AAtrox, Riven, and Rengar(situational), Maybe Akali. How many of these champions necessitate the dash in order to be effective in their primary role? AAtrox, Riven, Rengar, Akali. How many of these champions are ranged? Lucian

You're right. I forgot about Katarina. Katarina is another melee that requires the dash.

Though i did not think that they removed the mana costs from Nid's cougar form. No wonder everyone hates that champion

Lee sin has energy costs on both of his dashes.

Edit: Zed likewise has an energy cost on his blink

Pretty sure Nid doesn't have mana cost in cougar form

Also don't forget Elise
Kinda, with rappel and Q

Also don't forget Yasuo

So does Akali. He can still Q Q W whenever without energy being an issue. But afterwards he is OOE unless he attacks.

I don't think Lee is really gated, if you are auto attacking like you should be regardless you'll never go ooe.

Akali's dashes have a charge mechanic, they don't cost mana or energy. They're effectively cooldown gated only.

Being OOE after using your dashes is a cost. It limits the rest of the kit you can use without waiting around for your auto attacks. These are the costs we are talking about when discussing whether or not its appropriate for an ADC to have a zero cost dash (especially one that has a CD reset mechanic)
