Definitely makes sense =)



Your first sentence caught me off guard. I am assuming you were basically answering my question of the draw backs as a whole and not directing it at my Warwick or Udyr, right? Everything else you say I also agree with!

Thanks you two =D

Yeah, it was directed to the item as a whole, not towards its use on Udyr/Warwick/other bruisers who use the item.
Like on Pantheon you can get the Wit's End and have the extra attack speed, 42 magic damage, and MR. Or you can get a BF Sword because you have a 5.0 AD scaling on your full HSS and Spear Shot. Depends on the champ though overall, because some are very synergistic with Wit's End.

I still think old Wit's End was better...

I think the new one is better overall because it has practical use against any team barring bad no magic damage teams you get in Solo que. The old one was fun though because you could really counter some champs with a rushed Wit's End.

??? How would it proc off that? I assume you mean the bonus aoe damage? That's magic damage/not part of the AA specifically. The AA that sets off the Phoenix Proc can proc Wriggles, but Phoenix damage isn't gonna proc it.

Galio's passive:
Runic Skin - Galio converts 50% of his total Magic Resistance into Ability Power.

Apparently going negative affects your AP gain. So.. negative MR can make your AP go negative, which decreases the damage on your spells instead of increasing them.

Mummy passive+karthus wall+soraka starcall+fid passive+kogmaw caustic spittle+malady+abyssal scepter makes your MR fall all the way to -225, in turn making your AP -112~.

Base damage on Galio's E is 60. 60-112=-72.

WILL THAT HEAL YOUR OPPONENT?

WHO WANTS TO TEST THIS WITH ME?

That is simply madness.

I hope it actually does though because that would be hilarious.

Any tips for playing against Kata?

Just played a game where we both died at the same time mid, then she got another kill on me a few mins later and just went uber with power.

How do you stop that which is impossible to stun?

Remember I'm playing Brand.

...impossible to stun?

when she ults, stun her.

in the meantime, harass with w and e.

i don't play either hero much, but it seems like brand would trash kat 1v1. all she has is bouncing blade, and you've got your full combo.

Yeah kat is really easy as brand, you can out harass her easily, and the only way she is going to kill you is her ult, so just stun her when she ults. Just play safe if your e/q is on cooldown and her ult is up.

Just tried out Karma. She's pretty fun, but man does she run out of mana fast.

I don't think she's that great, though. Kind of like a weaker Janna.

Janna is still good, isn't she?

i don't see how you're complaining about ANY AP carry mid as brand

your raw damage is so much better than everyone else's, its literally just a case of spacing and hitting them with your stupid range and not letting them hit you

if you know she has ult just stay away from minions so your stun is unobstructed, then do it if she tries and just unload

brand's a stupid character and i hate him

Woa, they aren't just recolors.

ALSO, IF YOU GUYS DONT MIND.

In order to get our post-bits for the game night I figured we should get a list together to make it easier on the mods that are getting them for us. SO, if you will, write your name down here (SWF LOGIN NAMES) and I'll give the list to the guys in the back. :o

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LocMq3T9bMajzDZRnIz0SpWsKB5s11ukcL5cSA7C2ws/edit?hl=en_US

edit: tell me it doesn't work.

1) had to request permission to see your doc

2) f8al has already made a list that i think is fairly/very accurate.

i have an idea. what would happen if riot gave flash automatically to every character? (on the "t" key, for example)

the recall spell was originally a summoner spell, but they changed it; why not do the same with flash?

the game is balanced around flash, but i'm sick of seeing 8-9 flashes every game, and i think this would open up a lot of cool strategies for summoner spell usage, particularly in premades.

She generally ults from right in your face. Can't really mess that stun up.

By the time I could do anything to her after she ulted me I was already on less than a 1/4 health.

It was doing unreal damage.

Her knives were also doing silly damage.

I think she had maybe 3 kills at this stage.

if you're on guard for it, conflagration > sear shouldn't take TOO much time, and then you get a free pillar, ignite and ult. she may kill you in the process of coming out of the stun, but i really can't imagine brand's entire combo and ignite not killing her, especially if minions are around to bounce from (which is highly probable, considering you're at mid)

treat brand like snake, in a 1v1 with most casters you'll pretty much always win damage trades

if you're worried about the knives before the ult, just stand back enough from the minions to not have it be an issue. while its on cooldown, harass with your silly-dilly range.

Just shutting Kat's early game down seems simple enough , Im curious how these higher level kats get away with so much when Im not laneing vs one since she only has her long distance blade bounce as the only offensive.
