He doesn't throw a white trail.

Corki's moustache is as manly as it gets. Sorry man.

Kog'maw is probably genderless but people don't refer to him as a she either.

Want to play the new Skarner to see if he's going to be as good as I am think he will be.

I have the feeling that Graves is going to be very strong.

Been watching Bob play graves. It's so dumb.

Like vayne, graves can dash at you and attack + skill for insane damage. His spread shot and ult have little to no startup time (unlike poor cait). His dash goes through walls (unlike vayne). His passive and smokescreen make him annoying to kill. His abilities scale nicely too, so yeah. What's no to like? :S

His dash goes through walls? Well, that seals the deal then. I figured what would keep him in check was the he couldn't escape TOO hard since the dash was small... but nope. Like a new Vayne with less hyperscaling, then.

Skarner was already solid solo laner, now that E heals off of killed creeps it's going to be very strong. Gonna try building tanky AP and hybrid damage to see which works best.

This champion never deserves any respect or semblance of pity. She's by far the least innovative thing to hit League since... I don't even know. She can't even hold her ****ing gun straight when she fires.

The only thing I like about Caitlyn is her accent.

Yeah, I'd seen a vid. Still got it though. Would have been cooler with white trail, but skin is still good anyway.

You play w/ us today Zac? You go Graves and I do Skarner/Riven?

I love Cait. :<

Also, Zac, what I don't like about Graves is that he sounds too good. :applejack:

Depends on if i get busy after work. I dont think i have anything planned, but who knows. Graves might be the first champ that i buy on release since i started playing league a year ago.

More on Graves: his dash gives him bonus attack speed, up to 80% at max rank. The cooldown on his dash ability gets reduced by a second every time Graves auto attacks. This makes him insane at push turrets like trist. His passive starts at 1 armor + 1 mr and stacks up to 10 times. at max level it goes up to 4 per stack. so insane.

So I believe Salce hit #1 in soloQ last night and I was watching him stream. He then switched to his smurf to play ranked...

His smurf is around the 1500 range, idk what is up with that guy but he is on such an absurd win ratio it's ridiculous atm.

He was playing Xerath on his smurf and he just absolutely destroyed, Salce thought Xerath was bad based on what he saw from others playing him, but now he thinks Xerath is viable for High ELO play as well.

just played xerath.

my main complaint is about his animations. he is the worst looking champ riot has released in a long time. it's hard to tell on a glance whether he is in locus mode, and his mage chains particle is really small

edit: in response to above, he's a good champion, i got 3 kills in lane vs. the other xerath lol. i just don't like his animations.

Xerath is SO strong... and automatically scales into late game better than many champs b/c of his free magic pen. There is a little bit of delay between going into locus of power and firing spells which is kind of annoying, and the missile speed on his stun primer is kind of slow.. but aside from that he has no issues.

I think what will keep Graves in line is that his CD timers are respectable. I am kind of sad that he gets the same thing as Wukong's passive but on a ranged carry, lol.

Yeah I didn't mean to ninja your post heh.

It's more about Salce than Xerath though, It's like realizing how top players carry.

Fights will be close during laning phase, typical scores and jungle ganks. Then the fight for dragon comes around and he usually completely changes the outcome of the game from then on, usually getting a double or triple kill and just snowballing so that regardless of what happened during laning phase EVERY single game looks like a stomp.

I mean he got to #1 mainly using AP champs like Kennen (which is why I like watching his stream, I didn't even realize how close he was to hitting #1 in soloQ until he was actually #1) and Orianna. I know they aren't exactly poor picks, but I like the variation in characters lately. A lot more champs regardless of how lulzy Riot's balancing is sometimes are simply more viable nowadays in SoloQ at least.

absolutely love graves, wondering if he's op atm though

he can't really super ultra carry though so i guess he's not TOO bad, lost three games in a row despite doing well. because top lane has a 1/6 jarvan and a 1/4 wukong

i love western **** so the fact that graves isn't complete garbage is very good news, i just wish he had better skins. the guy from tropical thunder/cable aren't nearly as cool as

He has an 80% AS steroid and passive armor/MR. He can carry just as hard as anyone late game.

Yeah, definitely Zac and Mogwai are the solo q masters. Other players on the forums are also quite good, but they haven't been as successful at acquiring ELO.

Graves not carrying hard?
He has mobility (through walls), 80% attack speed steroid, passive defensive steroid, solid AoE damage, and a (nearly) unique form of CC.
Thankfully they kept him at 550 range. 600 and he would be ridiculous.

i just saw all the changes they did

how did they only have like an hour of downtime to add a new champ and make all these changes

and other times it takes like 12 hours, i don't understand at all
