Feb 3, 2014Ravnos posted a message on Launch Giveaway!My favorite card of all time is Balduvian Horde. It was the first decent rare I got when I started playing Magic during the transition from 5th-6th edition. Something about the screaming barbarians really did it for me, and I got hooked into the game.Posted in: Announcements

So, speaking of season 3 meta, don't forget the C9, the most dominant team in NA, used Ashe, one of the weakest ADC's at the time, to amazing effect. This season, something like 90 champs saw play in the LCS, and it could quite easily be higher, as I missed a few weeks due to school/work related things. There's really only one or two champs that aren't that viable right now, and they are mostly due to being older design that just doesn't stand up to the new design philosophy.
It's not her E that gives me problems, it's her Q. One snare, and you've pretty much lost lane early. The duration is insane at rank one, and turns into one of the longest CC's in the game. Yeah, it's slow and what-not, but you are eventually going to get hit by one, and when you do, it's bad. Her plus Draven/Lucian/Sivir is just stupid amounts of damage.
That being said, I don't really think she NEEDS a nerf, but maybe a tune-up on her Q to scale from 1-3 seconds instead of from 2-3?
Wat. Alistar is one of the must-ban champs for Urf. AOE knockup on a 2-second CD? Spammable AOE heal? Stupidly tanky w/o having to buy tank items? Option to headbutt people away from you if you're in trouble?
Alistar and Ez are the two champs I hate seeing the most in URF, with Hecarim close behind them. I'm pretty sure I'm done with the mode though, while it was fun at first, now it's just people spamming the OP champs, so if I want to try out someone new, I have to go in knowing that the chances of winning are really low. I'll stick to ARAM and 3's for now, I think.
You should try Infinity edge on him. 325 percent damage crits at max attack speed are stupidly strong.
I second this. Mundo is god-awful...it's like being Mundo in a normal game, but with a better ult...except you explode because you don't have the DPS others do. Hecarim is stupid strong, and Annie isn't half bad either. Still, there's VERY few weak champs in this.
I'd probably put him and Lift-lift together, with each of them having different strengths and weaknesses. Turtle might even be a better fit for all-stars, because his aggressiveness might catch people by surprise, since so many NA ADC's are more passive...Sneaky, Doublelift, Cop...
I voted Dyrus, D-lift, and Xpecial. Gotta send the strongest players, and as much as I like Bjergson, I'd rather him be practicing to keep TSM strong than worrying about all-stars.
A big part of it, I'm guessing, is that people forgot how to play against Galio. If you are reasonably good with a champion that has a strong kit, and isn't seeing a lot of play, then you should do well. I have a friend that hit Plat-1 last year in the final 2 months of the season playing nothing but Swain, because nobody remembered how to lane against him, and his damage surprised people. Galio seems like a similar story.
My points: She doesn't bring really any utility to the game, aside from a weak heal and a bit of vision. Her spears don't do anything if you don't build AP, and if you do build enough AP for your spears to do anything, you can't build support items, like Talisman/Crucible/Sightstone/etc. Her ultimate doesn't bring nearly anything to the lane, and if she falls behind, she's beyond useless.
His counter points: If you're good with the champ, anyone can be a support. If you land a spear, you can peel for your carry easily. If you can take Shaco from Bronze to Challenger, then it doesn't matter what the champ pick is if you're good with it.
Eh, I don't think that non-bruiser is completely unviable. There's been quite a bit of Ryze vs. Renekton in the LCS, and it didn't go THAT poorly for Ryze. Kennen and Jayce also do pretty well against him.
I actually think that point happens around the same time, honestly. Both of them can dive you at 6 no problem if you get to 60 percent health or so. I don't know, I just don't think that he's that problematic. Sure, you can't pick any champ into him and expect to win lane, but that's not the way the game is supposed to work, either. I mean, top lane is the home of bruisers, it's generally not a good idea to pick a squishy champ into them anyways. I guess it doesn't matter, I know that Riot is planning to nerf Renekton soon anyways, haha.
I really don't think that Renekton is that bad, so long as you play smart against him. You just have to know that he's going to leave lane with a CS advantage over you, but you're going to end up scaling better into the late game than him. Honestly, I can't think of anyone top lane that he makes un-viable by being picked.
They nerfed her two patches ago. Honestly, I don't think she's that much of an issue right now. Renekton, on the other hand, is terrifying. Still, I don't think he needs a nerf, either. Both are in decent spots right now.
I'm pretty sure that maxing Bite first is the way that Trick2G plays support Voli, when he has to support. It's not terrible. I'd still probably take the slow at level 2 though, since it'll help you just about as much on offense, and a lot more if something goes wrong. It also prevents a TON of creep damage, which will help you win a trade pretty easily as well. That fear has a lot of power in it that a lot of people don't realize.
