new gp has potential but I really do wish they would have changed his passive completely if this is the final result. not being able to proc it with Parrlay really tilts me.

200 + 120% Bonus AD True Damage wouldn't be balanced if it could proc off Parrrley. It might not even be balanced as is.

Sure, you won't get to apply the new passive at range, but you're trading a 7% slow and 63 magic damage DoT at level 18 for a 30% speed boost. For the purposes of hit and run, and most everything else, the latter is far more useful than the former.

Again, how in the fuck?

Let's see. E is an 40-80% slow, penetrates more than half of armor. Passive is 30-200 true damage, that you can use at least twice in a trade. W is a heal as big as it ever was in low-health situations. And is a free cleanse.

How in the fuck is someone going to kill you unless you've fucked up every trade or got poked down by playing a ranged matchup poorly?


because you arent putting it into relative terms and getting upset over nothing. teamwide AD buff > damaging ability for incentive to go tank, I don't see how thats a difficult concept


Zone control > Teamwide AD Buff.

You get more than just damage from barrels, an 80% slow is a big deal. We're talking Teemo Shroom levels of disruption and control.


lol im not arguing about which E is better. you make infinite better use of your E by going damage over tank. I'm talking about the incentive to build tank. there never is if your trying to optomize your character here.

not about balance I'm tilted because my cheese is moved.

I wonder what the final version of the new warrior looks like, I'm tempted to try it on Riven seeing as she's on of the few melee who can go full ad items and not struggle to land damage, stacking it with GP passive also sounds hilarious, but it might be harder to realize the damage.

I'm not arguing over which E is better either. I'm pointing out that an 80% AoE slow that refreshes a 200+ damage true damage passive is something that strongly supports building tank, moreso than the teamwide AD buff you brought up as Gangplank's previous incentive to build tank. New Gangplank's barrels, plus his passive, let him go either way.

% armour penetration, a flat amount of aditional damage, and heavy cc are all reasons meaning he can function as a tank.

The ArPen means that LW doesn't give him as much damage as it could, for one, which is one less "required" item to go tank. It also means he can duke it out with both tanks and squishies.
The added damage makes his base extremely good, and again reduces the impact of your itemisation (less so with crit since it's a multiplier of the base attack, but 200 means the AD ratio doesn't weight all that much in the end, especially if you only take into account the additional AD he'd get from items).

I could see the reasoning for "full tank" vs "damage", but since he'd build at least one damage item, and probably Triforce over Hydra since E now provides the splash, the fact that Spellblade uses base AD again diminishes the importance of itemisation-based AD compared to his base stats and stuff such as crit and the spell's/attack's base damage.

These are also numbers that can be tuned, obviously. Without the additional damage to champions, "damage" GP suddenly becomes more interesting.


Wtf is that Fiora passive (that's rhetorical, I understood it, but still). Also they don't show if it's directional based on the map (eg. she came from the left) or the champion (the weak spot was in front of Lux).
The video for Lunge doesn't make it clear whether she moves to attack the target after her dash, or whether the area is simply her aa range from her "landing" point.
W looks good, but the design on E "can't crit, then will crit" is... urgh, why? It feels pointless and inelegant.

Her whole kit just makes no sense. It's like someone came up with that "weak spots" thing then they decided to base her whole champ on this minigame thing. That isn't Fiora and that isn't how you do good design riot :<. Gar I know it's early and she could be really strong but I just feel they completely fucked it up.

From one of the most boring assassin kits in the game to near-Vayne levels of silly duelist potential. This actually makes me kind of want to play Fiora.

Q/W/E at least are all infinitely cooler. Only thing I'm iffy on is the strange heal on her ult. Why a heal?

Why the fuck is there that heal on her ult? I get the whole "you can be useful even if you fight the enemy frontline/help peeling" and "non-damage contribution", but where does a goddamn heal fit thematically? ._.

I'm guessing they just realized how absolutely horrible she would be in teamfights as trying to randomly hit people in a certain direction is hardly easy in a chaotic teamfight so they threw in some random "aoe" on it but realized a stun or slow may be too powerful.

This weak spot thing looks like they still haven't gotten the memo on melee autos during teamfights.

Well lunge may make it reasonably easy to hit weak spots even in teamfights.

Although tbh while I think the new q and w are nice, the e and ult seem like a stupid design. Why the duck does her ult heal...why can't it give increased aspd or expose all weak spots on enemies in the aoe or something. The heal seems dumb.

That's because you're beating your overkilled horse here rather than on reddit.

The thing with the whole ability is that:
  • %maxHP true damage destroys tanks, so she's not just an assassin for squishies, and can help her allies kill a frontline/diver super fast.
  • %maxHP true damage is also "target agnostic" as Riot pointed out already, so even when she's behind her ult is "guaranteed" damage is she can hit it (and even if she uses what little farm she got on survivability to hit all 4 points she's going to deal at least moderate damage), while also reducing her very high snowball potential (as I don't think they'd put a decent ratio on it). She's less binary and it opens up her itemisation.
  • The healing being a ground-targeted zone means that allies (especially ranged, the guys who tend to get dived) can stand in it. If an enemy dives and gets hit, it's harder for him to kill his targets as they'll get healed. It also makes chasing harder depending on numbers, because even if the rest of the enemy team catches up, they won't want to fight in a non-interruptible Janna ult.
  • When she dives, she doesn't have to "kill the damage threat then clean up or die" after her ults wears off like before. If she gets the heal, she lives longer, and the zone helps even if she has to chase a bit (or walks back toward her team). Again, if she's behind but plays it correctly, she can survive going in. Of course W helps that too.


From a design stand-point, it's coherent, although I'm not a fan of it.
But thematically speaking, what does that have to do with Fiora?

Her E is straigth-up ugly too.

I think she looks really really cool.

Riposte sounds fun but looks like it will end up being really abusive.

One thing that hasn't been brought up is now much RNG the weak spot mechanic is subject to. If it appears at a random angle, the actual effectiveness/practicality of a weak spot can be heavily dependent on where it appears.

This is doubly so given the near-instantaneous turning speed of champions in LoL, which means there's much higher dependence on where the weak spot appeared and where the enemy chooses to face than on your own character's actual movement. For example, if the weak spot appears at the front of the enemy's model, they cannot fight you without letting you hit the weak spot; if it appears at their back, you basically have to run straight through them and ignore them to actually ever hit it.
