Yea I know but normally old thread is never on top once closes. Think I just got the miracle timing and didn't realize it. So being tired while oblivious was really scary :<

i feel like riot pulled the trigger on skarner too fast. there's so many other champs out there that have issues but they decided to revisit and change what feels like his entire kit again way too quickly.

Exactly, then I could pretend I had skins ._.

On-Topic: What do you guys think about the Doran Blade changes and the impact it will have on top lane? I'm a little unsure if it's still going to be good. I'm thinking longsword + 3 health potions might just be a better start.
I guess it depends if you want the +70 health and 3% lifesteal or +3 attack damage and 2 extra health potions. Irelia nerf. Probably Jax, Shyvana, etc. nerf in hard early match-ups too. A bunch of champions went dblade because dshield got nerfed to the point where even dblade was stronger defensively. Now they nerfed dblade's early game, until you get to something like 165 AD... assuming a 0 armour target.
Not sure how I'm gonna do now if I see something like Renekton, Trundle, etc. picked against me top.

Would you start dshield as Irelia now?

Essence Reaver and Urgot seems like a match made in heaven.

ER doesn't have spellvamp so Urgot will only get mana back on basic attacks, not Q's. He will still run dry pretty fast.

I can't believe I am actually considering ghostblade as first item as replacement for bt for luci/draven lol.Gonna be a weird first week.

Reaver also needs an endgame build path IMO. However, it looks like it might be optimal for certain top lane champs?

I didn't really feel randuins was op but was rather much needed in a Kayle Yasuo meta. They keep nerfing AS debuff items and anti autoattack items.
Tristana is fucking broken. I swear half the Riot balance team are Tristana mains and I'm worried one day they're going to have to nerf her hard(she flies too close to the sun). Tristana has one of the highest win rates in the mid game because her W deals 250 AOE magic damage that resets on assist or kill and her level 1 ult deals 300. She has the highest dip in win rate from what I've seen and she's insane late game if you just don't pull a fabby (W into the enemy team).
It's just the retards who think she can keep doing that past minute 25 that bring her down. The level 9 burst baits people into thinking they can keep doing level 13 bursts.
I didn't know about panth being able to use flash to reposition during ult. I never tried it.
Bots have never started on blue side as far as I know.
Thank fucking god for the TP nerf. It felt stupid that TP could be used every 6.7 waves. Now it's every 8 waves.
RIP athenes
Glad wits end got buffed after all. They were set to make the item remain 42% attack speed till someone pointed out that would reduce the AS from its components.
Gonna wait until the dust settles on Nid's win rate before trying her. I'm optimistic. Her bushwack duration seems short.
Hello ardent censor and essence reaver.
I like the skarner changes but am confused why they nerfed E so much. It just makes skilling Skarner so much easier.
The vamp scepter changes are interesting. Currently it feels like a lot of top lane is just about having lifesteal and going ~even in trades and healing back up on minions. I unfortunately don't think that will change with the 10->8% decrease. Itemization is still very limited because I think most AD top laners want lifesteal. I'll personally be getting bork less.
Completely forgot mercurial had a melee bonus.

I'm sure people thought this about Muramana too but Muramana is built at all levels on Jayce and Athenes at all levels on AP mids. Also reaver doesn't give any mana regen till it's finished. So it's not that great during laning.

It's not like Urgot doesn't auto a lot. Especially in lane there is enough time to auto minions.
Nafta has a point with it taking long to finish though. But the buildpath is pretty good, no big goldspike in there.
Also the duo change is pretty big. Now Teutonica can't tank his mmr by duoing with Marten any more : D

Essense Reaver is garbage probably. Spirit Stone already does something very similar that works for both aa and spells, and its effect is not that great.
In general, you are not going to get infinite mana like muramana can.

Spirit Stone works only in jungle and not against lane minions. Essence Reaver is intended for very different roles and champions (i.e. laners, not junglers), so the comparison does not really work.

Probably should've made it an upgrade from chalice or made it ~1500 gold without the lifesteal for example.Then it would be a lot better.It just takes wayyyyy too long to finish.
