Lol, my first pentakill was playing Dr. Mundo for my first time xD

 

[KuroganeHammer]

mine was with mordekaiser

my ghost last hit everyone

 

[Z'zgashi]

My first Penta was with Tristana, just was fed and Rocket jumped around to pick up all the kills, nothing special there lol.

 

[Ussi]

My first penta was in ARAM...

With Caitlyn

Quite uninspiring

 

[egaddmario]

Mine was with Graves. Good guy Wukong didn't steal the last kill.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

My only Penta was with Ahri.

 

[teluoborg]

I did a penta with first time Jayce in one for all the other day by randomly pressing buttons and then right clicking when the buttons had no effects.

I also might be guilty of stealing a penta or two with Morde, that E is too good for last hitting.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Soulstealer Vladimir looks pretty cool.

 

[egaddmario]

Breaking Bad Heimer looks siiiiiiick

 

[Sinister Slush]

Dunno why they made another skin for vlad when his best and last skin should've been Blood Lord.
I feel like any character that gets an ultimate/Legendary should get no more skins. That'll do rito, that'll do.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I got to show Shaya the light of Fiora bot lane.

I got 31 kills.

I had more kills than the enemy team at the end of the game.

Also we did Malzahar/Fiora bot lane AND WHAT IS A TURRET, we got an inhibitor before 16 mins.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I decay on the 29th apparently.
Fugg and with the new changes happening tonight, I wonder if that's enough time to get everything straight on not just runes but new champions and the gist of Skar skar by then.

 

[Asdioh]

The patch is coming tonight? They haven't said anything yet?

 

[Sinister Slush]

Wednesday around 3 or 4 AM for my time which is basically "Tuesday" still.
So yes "tonight" in a way.

Good riddance Nidalee. Now we just need to nerf caitlyn and Shyvana.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

And Jax and Kayle.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Yah they need nerfs too, but thankfully they never get through in ranked. Cait and shyv tho get next to no bans.

 

[Espy Rose]

Jax is fine. People suck at this game.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

they might nerf her next patch

with the item changes, Caitlin will rush ie

then headshot crit everyone at their turret from her nexus

bot lane will not be fun this patch

 

[Asdioh]

Good riddance Nidalee. Now we just need to nerf caitlyn and Shyvana.

Taking bets on Nidalee being even more obnoxious than before.
Also what's wrong with Shyv? I've never understood why she's op. Anyone with range or a knockback does fine against her in lane, and her jungling doesn't seem strong until she gets her FF up, which was nerfed anyway.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Impossible for new nid to be more obnoxious then Nid "Flash seraphs heal pounce human form throw spear for 1k+ damage"alee

As for Shyvana. Build Bork, Press W while chasing enemy champ away from lane, no need to build much tank yet cause simply existing gives you 10+ armor/mr doubled when she feels like going in on you in dragon form, splitpush forever and if trouble W and R away as she teleports to dragon/a turret her team is doing since 2 or 3 of you went top to try and stop her.

 

[Asdioh]

So how would you nerf her?
Like, she does gud damage while being tanky, but that's literally all she can do, so I never saw a problem. It's not like Jax, who does even more gud damage while being tanky, while also having CC and is even harder to gank because he can leap to minions and wards for some damn reason.

edit: ok patch notes out now

 

[Sinister Slush]

Jax's early problem is mana issues, baiting out his jump cooldown and weak before 6.

Shyvana runs on literally nothing, strong early 1-5 and even stronger late both tanky wise and just living forever shredding people with dragon form W and bork.

I nerf shyv's damage all around, lower passive armor/mr, and prolly find a way to make sure she gets her ult on a higher cd since it has virtually nothing.

Jax just needs 3 proc damage nerf and W nerf, everything else I don't mind much. Not even the free tankiness from building damage though that might need to be toned down just a bit.

Also all the things you mentioned about Jax jumping to wards and minions Lee sin can do as well. While Jungle lees don't build full damage most of the time, hexdrinker runes/masteries, and elder lizard is just enough damage to 1v1 a one finished item ad/ap while also being even more mobile than jax lol

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I think Jax is a tad obnoxious right now.

Unless I am Nasus, I have a hard time dealing with him.

 

[CRASHiC]

If I were to nerf Shyv it would be a system wide change to not allow Q procs to allow swiftly destroy sight wards.

I'm worried about Lulu and the new item. Her shield always lacked proper counterplay like Janna's so giving her target an attackspeed buff seems especially dangerous. I suppose we've danced around Lulu's fundamental issues long enough now that a small tweak to how that skill works will be tweaked if she becomes a problem again.

 

[Player-3]

i dont think shyvana is a big problem tbh not anymore since they buffed other top laners to about her level


**** caitlyn and anybody that says jax's early game is bad is full of horse **** that champion is so ****ing busted its unbelieveable, the only people who can beat him in lane are manaless lane bullies that can play around his e or just out sustain him (renek, shyvana can play around stun with her w and then out trade him early)

the main problem with jax is that he doesnt have to win lane to win lane, he just has to not lose lane to win his lane which is terrible design for a champion, its not like nasus who has a definitive weak early game and can be shut down, killing jax early is nearly impossible if he plays it smart and saves jump, diving him is out of the question most of the time because of his incredible base hp and E champions ****in dumb


no im not mad because i play rengar top what are you saying

 

[KuroganeHammer]

My problem with Jax is that even to beat him in lane you have to trade IN HIS MINION WAVE pre 6.

Once he gets to 6, he just autos minions twice and then says "It's time to win a trade!"

Not very fun if you ask me.

Even pre 6 his trades aren't even bad, I had one the other day chunk about half my HP with counterstrike, auto, W at level 2. I had to flash away since I almost died LOL.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I've played a fair bit of Rengar top.
Even in blindpick I somehow get Jax. **** him when I have to face him with Rengrr lol.

Also I said weak not bad. But I was also comparing if Jax was against Shyv. Shyv can mess around with him up until 6 of course. (which u mentioned with shyv alrdy, nvm den)

 

[Asdioh]

Personally, I'd remove the AoE damage reduction from Counterstrike (why does he even have that?) and I'd consider removing the ability to leap to non-champion allies. It wouldn't hurt his damage, but it would give him more notable weaknesses to take advantage of.

Also all the things you mentioned about Jax jumping to wards and minions Lee sin can do as well. While Jungle lees don't build full damage most of the time, hexdrinker runes/masteries, and elder lizard is just enough damage to 1v1 a one finished item ad/ap while also being even more mobile than jax lol

Yeah, but Lee's design is blatantly crap and Riot refuses to do anything major to him so I've just given up. He's obnoxious, but I don't have as much of a problem with him as Jax.

PATCH NOTES:
If Skarner is like he was when I played on PBE a week or two ago, he probably sucks. His passive is a garbage version of Braum's. A half second stun early game, after hitting them with 3 spells and then an auto. And his early game damage is HEAVILY nerfed to compensate for this "buff." When I played him on the PBE I couldn't even kill a bot with double buffs, lol.

"LeBlanc
No more silence. Only tears."
LOL

I still think BT giving a shield is kinda dumb. I'm happy about Ardent Censer because I play Janna support, and this will be huge for her. Item's probably busted though, 6 seconds is too long.
I like the nerfs to Nidalee's spears, but I'll have to see how the rest plays out. I'm not looking forward to top lane Nidalee getting popular again.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Skarner damage is poo
They'll throw another buff once it's 4.11

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Now hold up a second gurls

MAGIC DAMAGE 20/40/60/80/100 + 12/14/16/18/20% current health (+1% per 50 ability power) over the duration of 4 seconds

WhaT is this????????

Traps should not be killing people.

 

[Shaya]

Hey guys, remember when teemo and nidalee were the best top laners in the game for like 4 months, and in nidalee's case like 3 years?

****ing hell Riot.

I actually watched some season 1 stuff in recent times, looking at hotshot's nidalee a bit (and other nidalee instances, but they were quite few and far between, even more so for hotshot who only got away with using smurfs/being in a different continent). Her play pattern of annoying split pushing with a good heal seems a lot less obnoxious than "one shot waves at turret in cougar form + deal 10,000 damage from outside vision range with no risk" that exists these days... oh well. Like AP stacking Nid was never cool.

 

[Espy Rose]

I think Nasus is far more annoying than Jax top.
Then again I play Poppy and she wrecks the latter.

Only issue in his kit is his passive imo, makes it too easy to scale up when he is strong.

Edit:

People asked me to try out Skarner on the PBE, well,

I'm not sure how to build in with what changed. I feel like with the new passive he needs a change in how he plays, now he is honestly, hit with 3 Autos, hit Ult then have your team follow up.

Even with a .5 stun this buffed his early ganks a bit, and his early damage...eh I'm not seeing a large difference in the damage from here and before early on.

If anything this will make me want to go back to my sunfire/wit's end/Triforce or Gauntlet build, more likely Gauntlet with these changes.

His scaling damage got hit a tad too much with these change. The base on his Q is fine with his new passive. The base on his E and the scaling all around though...it's ouch.

Still I like what it does for his ganking and your damage still matters, but he isn't really the master duelest like he used to be.

Still I outdueled Rengar when I played him but idk I was 10/3 in that game so I'll bet it's more that.

Step 1 is really figuring a build out, then step 2 is how to tweek his play a tad with how you gotta consider his kit now.

~

Some people also said Udyr > Skarner with these changes. I don't agree, Udyr definitely has the better early game, while having a simular kit, but the actual Ult plus scaling stun is gonna make Skarner more wanted late game.

Yeah he will have trouble getting to the care but his peeling is a lot better than Udyrs while building tank. Udyr is probably better for the Raw damage.

~

Basically I think he might need a buff or two after he gets released, but his kit is fine for what it is trying to do.

 

[egaddmario]

Anyone else think that new item with Janna is going to make her broken viable again?

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Supposedly it speeds up tower shots when Janna shields a tower.

 

[egaddmario]

Because that's totally fair. Either that item's getting nerfed or Janna is.

 

[Ussi]

Janna needs all the help she can get.

Karma now has sivir's old ult with this new item

 

[egaddmario]

I didn't even think about Karma with this item. Mantra'd E sounds amazing right about now.

EDIT- also, do we know if this works with Face of the Mountain? For example, could I in theory get this item on Leona and give my adc the face of the mountain shield for the attack speed buff?

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I don't think anyone building face of the mountain would build this item.
