The top-voted comment on Reddit regarding "don't buff Zed, revert his nerfs" (with idiotic things in the op about "Riot always nerf Zed when exterior things nerf him" like blaming them for a minor nerf of his right before the tank meta, as if that could be anticipated an dictated, or whining about BotRK gaining AS when it actually made him even stronger) says, in substance:
"Increasing Zed's W range means it takes longer to reach its point so it's a nerf and it makes it harder to use."
How entitled are people wtf? It's a buff, you think it's slow, just don't cast it at max range. Being able to QW and still cast the shuriken from the shadow's point of arrival was a bug and you're upset that it got fixed? Just ask Caitlyn players.

They are right that Zed got touched by nerfs he never deserved, and has been made (previously) into a much less fun and twitchy character. Fine with me because I don't like Zed's existence in the Meta, but they are certainly correct that this change does not restore his lost "zedness".

It feels better to play when bugged, it's not about entitlement.

Comments from mains can almost always be safely disregarded.

That's why I talked about Caitlyn. People bitch that hitting Zed's Q is harder since the bug was changed, because it was a beneficial bug, contrary to Caitlyn's.
Q is a 900 range skillshot that can be extended to 1500 by using W with it. It allows you to basically fire a skillshot from 300 range away from your opponent, while sitting at 900 range from him. If it's feasible instantly Zed's QW was stupidly hard to dodge unless you were near its max (post-W) range. It's not about the ability being hard to use, it's about the ability being unfairly hard to dodge because of the bug. Sure, let me fire Viktor's laser from up 700 range instead of 550, it'll be much harder for my opponents to dodge it at max range. And because I'm a Viktor player, I'll call it a "feature" and if you fix it I'll complain that the ability is now clunky and it doesn't feel good anymore to play Viktor.
I find it silly to complain that you can't execute harass and stuff without regard to timing or aim because of that bug, and then complain when Zed gets nerfed because of it, or when they claim that he's some super high skill cap champ (while true, it has no bearing on his skill floor, which is what the bug affected).

Xerath and Ryze mains were mostly right, Viktor mains not really, but not terribly wrong, fiora mains totally wrong, and Leblanc players have a ridiculous record calling out bad design.
Like I said, Zed shouldn't exist, but if he does, it should be for faker and febiven, so I never need to deal with him, not the opposite.

He isn't exactly relevant now. The champ is very weak honestly and has been for a while.
Also zed is supposed to win lane. If he can't do that why would you ever pick him? He isn't exactly a lategame scaler or w/e.

thornmail vs frozen heart which is stronger final armor item for a bruiser assuming i already have deadmans plate
|
Comes down to whether the opponents are casters or autoattackers I think.
|
Not only. League is too situational to ask questions like that. Need to be a lot more specific.

Do you need mana and CDR? Buy FH. Would those be useful but not especially important? Probably Thornmail. If you don't need either, obviously Thornmail. Is the only guy you have to worry about for armor the ADC? Randuin's and Thornmail.
Guidelines. Use your best judgment. Both have a lot of conditional value.

Randuins got a pretty big buff in preseason.
50 HP is nice, but I'm more talking about adcs having more crit, and the arpen changes disproportionately hitting FH and Thornmail more than randuin and DMP.

Welp, ended up picking Sejuani in an inhouse. I have absolutely no idea how to play her in this pre-season. Ended up going 0-12-18, still maxing W. First clear was a bit harsh, even with 3 pots, I ended up half HP after red. Other than that smooth sailing once I had the talisman for the mana and a few levels, but damn, the price for the "upgraded" jungle item really makes itself felt if your first clear isn't good.
Azir is still as brainless as ever, and Vi... still as bugged. This time I ulted him, making me cc immune, he casted his ult right before I reached him as soon as I went into the air (for the uppercut then slam animation) I was knocked away by his wall. Well, add that to the list I guess.

^ hunters potion sustain is super good, i love it on jng olaf and hes super mana hungry i dont even mind giving 2nd blue to my midlaners(which i never did before lol), probably helps i can easily do 1st full clear so i can back with perfect gold for machete upgrade and flask upgrade
|
I always jungled Sion before, and he is still very strong. That hard engage, burst and cc is just brutal. Between qw and e he also has a very fast clear, and with the new mana items you can do it without blue.
|
So Xin Zhao with Sated, Guinsoo's and Gunblade (and 2 random tank items) is.. kind of funny. Had 3 people pounding on him and he just refused to die. Guinsoo's in general is kind of dumb but that was one of those 'yep it's preseason moments'.

Are there even inhouses in League? Those look unbalanced as all hell from my experience in costum games before.
