They're buffs, but where is Shen now that some MR and a slightly faster Ki Strike will take him from ignored to pick/ban? Edit: The thread appears to have passed me by. He's complaining about more or less any and every champion, even the weak ones he wishes for them to stay there. Shen's a got a better time surviving with the MR/level (only exception now I think are Maokai, Singed and Poppy?), and he gets slightly more harass in lane, assuming he can time his passive right—he's the only melee champion amongst those with such a passive (see Ziggs, Kennen, etc.) are others (J4, Nautilus... ) are on a per-target basis. The only significant buff I'd say is the lower enegy cost on taunt, so you can use it twice in a fight, although that'd usually require you to max it second to really feel the impact. Shen's still really hard to have impact with ever since they nerfed his taunt's width, meaning you have to basically go through the center of an enemy's model with the center of yours to tag him, even at the end of the dash it's hard to get someone. One practical laning application is that if you try to trade with someone, slightly walk up to them then taunt backwards to disengage, you can't anymore. You more or less have to walk behind before your taunt can hit him, so your ability to disengage is severely hampered Plus it doesn't change the fact that Shen has a low damage output until very late in the game, and doesn't bring enough utility outside of his ult and taunt to make up for barely being able to make the enemy squishies notice him. | ||

It's the finals only and not the entire playoffs, right? In that case, depending upon the teams who make it to the finals, they may not fly out until Wednesday or Thursday and just do scrims Thursday through Saturday. They probably will run into ping issues and bitch about it on Twitter, but who knows if it'll actually affect anything Riot does. It could also be that Riot gets the NA server upgrades in place by then. | ||

Kongoline hating a champion!? GASP I just recently got my first penta but unfortunately it was unofficial. Had to dive fountain for it too. I was Diana. Do you guys smite your buffs immediately on first camp? I ask because I've noticed it's pretty damn easy to steal it if you have a ranged ability level 1. Sometimes when I feel cheeky, and if I'm in a lane that's not gonna be good for me anyway, I ward gromp/rocks and Q it. Really screws over the jungle. And if I get it then I can come to lane level 2. It's a bit cheesy and risky but I'm silver so yolo. Anyway, because of my own success I've started to smite it only at the end for safety. Obviously a lot of this can be stopped by collapsing (which rarely happens) or proper warding (even when it does I still get it sometimes). Poll: Do you smite first camp immediately? Yes, I can't live without the smite buff! (11) Better safe than sorry, I smite to finish the buff! (1) 12 total votes Your vote: Do you smite first camp immediately? (Vote): Yes, I can't live without the smite buff! | ||

RG Karma is really fun to play. I haven't quite lived the full dream of Talisman, R->E, RG just yet, but laning has been solid and I still feel quite useful later in the game. | ||

As for a support build, I do think Speedster Karma has potential (Talisman, RG, Mikaels, Liandrys/Void, Ruby Sightstone, Mobi Boots). Use the RG to run in and lock someone down with a W, use the R-E to shield everyone, and Talisman to engage/disengage with the R-E combo. You'd probably need to run CDR runes though. | ||

I also don't recommend using all of your CDs to run at their team and hoping for the best. On June 02 2015 04:22 krndandaman wrote: righteous glory is a bit overkill. I prefer spellthiefs -> mobis -> sightstone -> ardent censer -> talisman -> mikaels new ardent censer is super good on karma right now. 30magic onhit +15%as to everyone on your team, especially at an earlier timing is huge. and with just talisman/R+E you essentially have a sivir ulti every 20 seconds or so. Interesting, I'll definitely try Ardent Censer (it completely slipped my mind). Do you find the regen sufficient? | ||
