Just to add in on the blitz vs thresh discussion (in lane), when Blitz Q is on cooldown the enemy duo can zone your ADC off cs, while with Thresh you can still maintain some presence because of ranged auto's/E having some range.
Also with the current heal/flash meta, unless the enemy heals during ignite it becomes pretty hard to kill off one hook.

So, anyone playing Cho Gath here? I started playing him a few days ago, running Devourer Wits FH in the jungle.
On top lane I'm using that build on solomid.net Tri force Rylais Fh... I'm 9/2 on him so far...

veigar stun WAS one of them, but apparently buying merc treads is just too hard for counterplay

Path 5.5: Blitz Q now has a .75 second delay before firing and range reduced to 500.

If it was coded as a cast time i'd be actually super hyped about that. it'd allow some sweet shenanigans, like flashing mid cast time to change angles and stuff.

Contrary to popular belief thresh is actually not a useful champion if you are bad and isn't really faceroll unlike a lot of other supports so it makes perfect sense.Is pretty surprising to me that people are saying nobody clicks lantern.I am only d3 currently and it is extremely rare for people to just ignore my lantern.The funniest thing is this only happens in lane sometimes from ad players who should be used to it the most...

Saying blitz is amazing and at the same time saying you don't buy sighstone because it is useless are 2 statements that don't really go together.

Personally I don't like playing him too much cuz enemy just picks morgana and it forces you to roam and snowball other lanes while hoping your ad doesn't ragequit.

Nothing is more annoying than playing Thresh and someone not clicking the lantern. Its one of those things that irks you really a lot so if it happens once and they click the next ten times you still remember. I had one of those sick madlife hook lantern plays set up during placements and my jungler didn't click and I still remember that lol.

I play thresh quite a lot in teambuilder with people mostly in the plat/diamond range and more than people not clicking lantern, is people in trouble just not running towards thresh. They just don't even think about lantern and just run off in some random direction and die while I can't even get close enough to throw it.

I have a very good winrate with him but I rarely save people with lantern due to this, I mostly just pick people with hook and teamfight well. Its annoying to not even get to use a huge part of his kit though.

Anyone else played Jungle Darius? I ended up playing it in ranked (wanted to play top, pick "error" by 5th pick meant either dodge or jungle) but I was actually quite impressed.

He actually has a really strong clear. The Cripple attack speed slow is really good. Not particularly fast clear, but it doesn't matter because he can do 6 camps on his first clear. He also isn't exactly slow. He can build sightstone because he wants the stats anyway and doesn't particularly need the early game combat stats.

His ganks are kinda mediocre in that can be hard to close on an enemy laner; but if, unless you get to them in which case there is no escape, you actually do a ridiculous amount of base damage even if you are like 2 levels behind the laner, and apprehend makes someone flashing laughable. I think he either needs ghost or Righteous Glory... to me both options are kind of iffy, because you need the speed ASAP and want to get like a S.S, Boots, Jungle item first, but flash is also just hard to give up. He can easily just buy chilling smite though. His clear is better than Vi's by quite a bit.

His dragon control is pretty good, his team fighting as a jungler is awesome because he is one of the few that you can just build pure defensive items and still hit hard / peel well. His lack of engage kind of sucks, but with the amount of Leblanc / Liss / Annie / Sivir / Sion /Mao / Leona / Braum / etc being played at the moment this is mitigated if you have the right team comp.

Based on my small sample size (5 games, all ranked 4-1) I think he is actually a viable jungler, not quite J4 / Vi tier, but good. Honestly, if they didn't nerf smite range I would have said he was freelo.

Does someone else want to try him out and see if I stumbled on to something?

Imagine your winrate if you picked blitz

I have a friend who does it in normals (he's d5 in ranked), he gets insanely fed with it, but from what he said chilling smite nerf makes it much harder for him to gap close.
