This is literally the kind of thing everyone whining on reddit wants because they're tired of seeing X champion all the time and don't realize we've been in a pattern of just rotating the X for years.

I mean, I could try to photoshop the entire table he had, but that'd take more time than it would be worth, you'd be better off just watching him make the table. He did have the cost of all the items, with the baseline cost table being Doran, Zerkers, BT, LW, PD, which is just over 10k gold.

im sad that nobody cares about them butchering leblanc because she was "toxic". She was my favorite mid in the game, now she's gonna be completely useless

I think it's just a bonus on his ult. Which is an increase. So now level 1 R will deal 200+50*3 at max stacks. Basically I read it the way you did at first then when you commented on it, realized with Gahlo it was probably a bonus. They won't nerf Skarner when people are whining he's underplayed and needs a rework.

I guess not reading patch notes ever has its downsides too lol

This patch almost feels like the kind of shit Riot would have wanted completed before Season 4, but couldn't make the deadlines.

None of that is very surprising, its just not very useful and kind of obvious. Of course the items which have the most even combination of pen, crit, and AD will have the highest auto attack only DPS. What else were you expecting? Ghostblade is only really good on twitch because with your ult you both guarantee a duration when you can use its active, but also that you're going to hit the low armor targets in the back.
Its also super wrong because you have to account for Ashe's auto crit and so Ashe's DPS decreases over time, but the low DPS builds will have the higher burst and so better real DPS over the course of many fights

Pretty sure this didn't take into account Ashe's passive. The "Worth-it" column was looking for gold efficiency on auto damage, and the Volley one purely for poking with Volley.

I think he just used Ashe as the first champ because she's the first ADC in alphabetical order. He has said he'll do it for the other ADCs and try to calculate in the champ's passive and most commonly used skills during a team fight.

However, it looks like it might be optimal for certain top lane champs? I could see it being built a lot in Silver and Gold to shore up poor mana management during laning, but I don't see it getting picked up much in pro play. I think it'll be pretty good on Jayce, 50 ad and lifesteal isnt too terrible, esp when it means he is going to be able to shit on kids constantly with W which is pretty lulzy
