Then literally all of this thread would be people yelling to an empty room. There is more shit posting and bickering about semantics than any real discussion. | ||

It can also introduce interesting breakpoints wrt to, for example, maxing an ability earlier at the expense of your ult (which currently pretty much only happens to Jayce, even Elise doesn't skip levels in her ult and Trist doesn't skip Q because she wants it maxed first in the end), or leaving an ability at a certain level because early levels provide more than later ones, then switching to another one. Off the top of my head only Warwick (E range to "acceptable" then max W second), Xin at some point (I think Smash advocated E to 3, then max Q for jungle clear vs cooldown reduction and combo flow in skirmishes/fights that happen by that tume), Graves (before they gutted BT or everyone rushed it, you'd put a second point in W at 8 because it lets you clear caster minions with WQ once you stack BT, leaving only the melee ones to finish off and improving your ability to shove a wave and get to fights, it doesn't work anymore) and another one I can't recall did that. Some people advocated skipping Pantheon's ult post-6 to max E earlier, and atrioc says to max Q pre-6 for laning power/harass, then E as you start shoving and roaming/ganking with ult more, giving you more AoE and burst damage as skirmishes happen. But these are all particular cases and due to factors other than abilities' primary scaling (WW's E range is ridiculously short level 1, Pantheon is AoE vs single-target, etc.). | ||

There need to be more champs where not leveling ult at 6/11/16 is a legitimate option (especially since Riot reworked 2 of them for this to no longer be the case). RIP Heimer and Sion | ||

240 + 1.2 AP still more than an additional level in any of his abilities, even moreso for the cost of 0 energy. | ||

Slicing Maelstrom had an energy cost back when PX is referring to. But yes, Slicing Maelstrom having no cost made getting ult at 6 a lot more compelling. | ||

What good is it not getting R if you're not going to spend that point anyway? | ||
