Best ARAM champ is definitely Skarner.

 

[Shaya]

My aram MMR is really high ;\
The same champions are in every game and I'm never able to trade anyone
And they're all unranked.

Skarner is ridiculous

This has happened countless times to me.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Too bad thresh will win every duel for a ward.

 

[Z'zgashi]

So I was just in a game were we were up 30 to 8 at 25 mins. Then our Jax DC'd and we couldnt win fast enough so we lost. In my promo series too lol. Hopefully I can win these next 2 or imma be sad.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Somebody duo with me whenever I come close to decaying since I can barely play this game alone anymore :^)
Which is in 8 days now I believe.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I'm still in Silver 2 this season so unless I improve I can't really.

 

[Phantom Gamer]

Still better than me where I was Silver 5 last season and god only knows where I'm at this season.

 

[Asdioh]

I was stuck in upper plat 1 forever at the end of last season, struggling to get diamond. Now I've been struggling to get out of plat 5, last time I breezed through 5-2 :x (my experience was an easy time in lower silver, then an easy time from gold 5-2, then easy plat 5-2, but division 1 was always super hard)

But Sona is a strong and independent woman!

@ Dre89 Why didn't you invite me to your ranked 5's team. I'm very offended. Am I not good enough? I am a bit bothered by this. I am dejected. Will Jezmo play without me? Who will be your 5th? /cryingfacething

I haven't invited you yet because it's a team with my cousin and his friends. We're still waiting on whether 2 of his mates will play with us. I invited Jez because we needed a mid laner. I just made the team because I know Jez and unlike my cousin I have the balls to kick out anyone who gets toxic.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Rip URF mode

I will miss you. Now to never play again so I can preserve such wonderful scores on my lolking like 33/7/9, 35/14/4 and my personal favourite, 3/25/6.

I was Gold 4 last season which is where some of my frustration comes from ATM.

Still gonna work on it but between that, school, smash practice and developing am RPG it's a tad hard to dedicate time.

Edit: also working out so I can lose wieght, 26 more lbs to go.

 

[Ussi]

Voidling army is the most fun i've had on league in a while. Urf mode was nice while it lasted

 

[Shaya]

Apparently it's still ongoing.
(At least theres an announcement it will be on OCE).

Said they'll be throwing bans on Alistar, Kayle, Soraka, Hecarim, Skarner and someone else and it'll be up for another week.

Apparently Sona had a 78% win rate on URF prior to her ban.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Yup they are starting to make it go on longer in the US as well.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Skarner, of all characters? ****ing rito lol

 

[Z'zgashi]

No LB ban but they ban Skarner lmao.

 

[Shaya]

skarner was ********.

literally unkillable.

Honestly, LB is/was also stupid. I can not understand how she is capable of basically one shotting a 4k health relatively high MR build Mundo... I don't understand... poor me

So is someone like zed if he just goes BT LW and hydra/bork.

 

[BSL]

I think it's more of his passive making his abilities zero cool down.

 

[Sinister Slush]

only one that's 0 is literally Q when he can use two under a second. Otherwise everyone else basically has 0 cooldowns too lol.
Besides, characters like annie in urf **** on him since she gets 3 stuns in under 7 seconds when they slam their faces on the keyboard.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Anyone with range and cc wrecks skarner.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Exactly .

 

[SuperBowser]

galio is 100x worse.

 

[Asdioh]

Yeah, they banned Skarner why? I tried Galio and it was absurdly good.
I think Veigar's my favorite URF champion so far. .8 second cooldown on Q.. I still haven't quite gotten to 1,000 AP before the games ended though.

 

[Z'zgashi]

galio is 100x worse.

I can confirm this.

 

[Dre89]

Galio would be amazing in normal mode if he had a reliable way of getting off his ult without flash. I think his passive has made him misunderstood, because people think he's only good for heavy AP comps. In reality nothing about his kit actually makes him better at tanking magic damage, and ironically he's probably better against heavy AD teams.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Tried Karthus and Yi, prefered Yi more.

 

[Shaya]

Kiting skarner? Yeah maybe.

 

[Dre89]

Feral Flare Yi is insanely strong at the moment. FF will likely get nerfed soon.

 

[Shaya]

the heal you get per auto attack applies to champions too right?
I noticed it didn't apply to attacking inhibs and pretty sure on turrets as well.

Feral Flare seems really strong, but I'm having a hard time fulling grasping why. If you're getting 50 health per auto attack, that's definitely probably what's tipping it over, but the bonus magic damage doesn't seem extreme.
I don't think it currently fills the niche riot intended it to, to help single target junglers get back into the jungle. As the AOE clearers are still the ones getting the most out of it (their aoe kills small things quite quickly then feral flare lets you take out the biggie within the same moment).

 

[Asdioh]

Doesn't Wit's End do more damage for most of the game? But the heal's pretty nice

 

[Plum]

I think what makes FF too strong is just how damn efficient it is. It's gold efficient on its raw stats alone not counting the gold generation you get from free wards, its actual gold generation, and its on hit passive. It's just got to be among the most efficient items in the game.
Wriggles could do with being more expensive, perhaps make Maim deal reduced damage to Epic monsters in addition to champions. It's pretty absurd how it makes dragon and even Baron laughable.

I think it fills its niche well. It gives strength to auto attack reliant junglers. I don't think it really matters if an AoE junglers that also rely on auto attacking (like Nocturne, Yi, Skarner, etc.) get more from it, as AoE clear is just always going to be more successful at large. It's no surprise at all that single target champs like Warwick and Trundle have found more success in lane than they ever did in the jungle. FF is good for them, sure, but single target clearing is just such a crippling trait in the jungle when seconds spent at each camp can change the game.
I mean really, how are you going to make an item that favors single target clearing without being good for AoE? Rito should just accept that those champs are just going to be better in lane and balance them as such.

 

[PhantomX]

So new Heal seems like it's going to be super strong...

 

[Z'zgashi]

Heal is the new Barrier.

 

[Ussi]

On the bright side, at least you don't have to stop attacking to wait out barriar to go down.

And heal has a longer CD so bigger window to make a play after burning it. Its also not effectively used if you focus 1 target and the other target is nearly full.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Except Heal is used on two people, so youre getting almost double the HP from it (and even more at some point around level 8 or something, not sure on the exact level) AND it has a movement speed buff AND it counter Ignite, which Barrier is countered by. The threat of Heal in bot lane single handedly forces the enemy Support to not run Ignite, otherwise get it hard countered now, and Heal is arguably better in lane while being drastically better late game. Like, sure there are those very few occasions where Barrier would help more, but Heal is better easily at least 90% of the time. And thats a very generous percentage.
