I like the Ezreal change since I picked him up as my AD carry. It is a little sad that it sort of makes it so that you would either build him Hybrid or AD since straight up AP may not be as viable anymore.

For Bloodthirsters, is there any way to tell when you have max stacks on them?

They made a change to Warmogs and Bloodthirster a patch or two ago that shows you their stacks if you highlight them on the item panel.

New Ezreal Build:

1. Ionian Boots
2. Last Whisper
3. Void Staff
4. THREE FULLY STACKED BLOODTHIRSTERS
5. I'm the new OLD Katarina

(remove the last whisper for ANOTHER FULLY STACKED BLOODTHIRSTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR FOR OPTIMAL DAMAGEEEEEEEEEEE)

[preferably get rid of your boots too, because that's nothing compared to ANOTHER FULLY STACKED BLOODTHIRSTER w/blue buff and blue elixirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

(125% life steal is always viable)

















with a morgana abusing hax and having a 0cd cooldown spell shield

I am playing Anivia, Caitlyn, Ezreal, and Irelia tonight.
Jarvan should be good, anyone that can create a wall is a good champion :O

Create a wall that guaranteed blocks them off, and he can move through walls AND gain sight before initiating through a wall.

And he has built in randuins

I like this champion.

 

[DanGR]

Yay for indirect Nidalee buffs with this patch!

 

[PhantomX]

I'm going to have fun trolling my team with Jarvan's ult. But yeah, I'm predicting he'll work best as a utility tank with maybe 1-2 damage items.

about #5
BTs on kat was never particularly good for anything

Thought BB didnt scale with AP, thus to scale it for safe harass you stacked AD?

 

[KevinM]

I think it's pretty obvious that the hugest part of this patch is that in player to player chats the links you post are now clickable.

This times 10

 

[UTDZac]

And I bet they didn't bother fixing the copy/paste issue. It works in PM, not so well in chat. Come on Riot =/

 

[jpak]

I need 5000 more IP to get the runes I want

 

[DanGR]

Jarvan is 4800.


Also, WTF @ THESE NEW ANNIE & EVE PORTRAITS???

The kat one is awesome.

Edit: WTF TWITCH TOO?

 

[PhantomX]

YES, ONLY 4800!? That puts me 1500 closer to Blitz

 

[Vex Kasrani]

The launcher has experienced an error. Please restart this application.

help ;[

I restart the client and it just comes up and says it again.

You say that like it's a good thing - you DO realize what this means, right? You can kiss the 3150 price tag goodbye forever

 

[DanGR]

Found an exploit where you can flash into your own spear to pop people up without using your flag.


Trying to reproduce it.

Edit: Can't seem to do it again :[

What else are you spending IP on?

 

[-Vocal-]

What else are you spending IP on?

Runes. I'm still working on buying the runes I'd need for everyone. I probably have about 15-16 full sets of 9 but there are still a couple that i'm missing, like crit runes, atk spd reds, ap quints. Just various things

 

[jpak]

You don't need crit runes!

 

[UTDZac]

You don't need crit runes!

I bought crit reds and quints just to have more fun with gangplank. Was worth it imo.

Who else besides tryn uses crit runes? gotta buy more of those champs.

Focus on one or two roles more. Jack of all trades, master of none, as they say.

 

[Mogwai]

literally no one uses crit runes. the best trynds and GPs still just run ArPen, lol.

Well in that case I'm closer to finishing my rune set than I thought. Still, there's still a ton of champs to get before having them all

 

[Ignatius]

Well the full saying is, "Jack of all trades, master of none, bot often times better than master of one."

So out of context I guess it works still.

 

[M3D]

This game is making me grumpy. Sorry I've been a grouch the last couple of days folks.

 

[Evanms]

Did anyone else see the gp start 2 philo stones? interesting right? Too bad it didnt work. Chauster shen too pro chase him for 2 minuets.

 

[UTDZac]

I beg to differ. With the recent change on calculating crit chance, crit runes help out a lot early game. The old way crit worked was to check on each attack. Now it's based on a string of attacks to smooth/even out random chance (same for dodging). You merely auto attack until you get like 5-7 misses in a row then go for a parley.

With 14%-15% base crit early game, you can guess with pretty good accuracy when parley will crit and harass for 250+ often.

But I guess I can try out armor pen runes and see if it does that much more dmg.

 

[-Vocal-]

I'm seeing fewer and fewer reasons to play squishies that aren't Ashe or Annie anymore, and even those two are highly situational. Over the past 2-3 weeks I've been seeing more and more teams made up of 4 tanky DPS + 1 support and they demolish everything in their path. They can match the same damage output of squishies and concurrently take longer to kill. I just don't have fun playing squishies anymore due to this - regardless of how good my positioning is or how hard I've farmed, it just becomes impossible to kill them in the time they can kill multiple members of my team. The only way is to hope they do something dumb, but that doesn't often work out. Maybe it's different in premades, but alone I just don't see any benefit anymore.

new kat art <3

I did some ques with four friends last night and we just went trolly teams for some funzies.
Are 5 tank team actually did among the best and we went on a three game winning streak with it.
We would just have our Cho feast one of their carries and focus the rest of our abilities on the other. Basically they had no more dps to actually take any of us out.
It was pretty silly.

 

[jpak]

Someone send me 2 flat AP quints, 1 armor pen quint, and 3 MS quints please!

 

[ArcNatural]

Yeah in normals I'm not entirely sure how your supposed to deal with a very tanky team. I would think you want to end the game by mid game or they start becoming impossible to kill. Also assuming how they build you probably want to make big armor pen/magic pen items possibly your 3rd/4th buy. But I'm just theorizing atm.

I imagine it's different in ranked as you can see picks and act accordingly.

 

[Zolga Owns]

Oh Tree is free? Guess I'll try him out. All of my deaths were from sacrificing myself for the carry or the support. LMAO

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Did anyone else see the gp start 2 philo stones? interesting right? Too bad it didnt work. Chauster shen too pro chase him for 2 minuets.

Vman went 2 Philos, CDR boots, then 2 avarice blades. And he was destroyed that game LOL.

Vman used to get angry at me for playing Pirate the way I play him. I'd win pretty hard, beating his team, and he'd just blame whoever was laning against me (always happens). But the best part is when I queue again and get Vman on my team, who then proceeds to try and "teach me" how to play Pirate, and NEVER does well. The above events have happened 3 times before

 

[Ragnar0k]

sooo, dat Jarvan the muh***in fothe.

 

[M3D]

Apparently at level 2 Jarvan's flag+dash combo lets you 2-hit squishy champs like Annie. So he essentially forces them to take a Doran's item to start, unless they want to feed him first blood. Hotfix incoming!

 

[Turazrok]

Jarvan is ****ing amazing.

 

[Juno McGrath]

i <3 jarvan

 

[Frolossus]

jarvan is a pain in the ***
his shield shouldn't be like randuins imo
