I've yet to play a jungler since yesterday but apparently new masteries are amazingfor jungling purposes.

A thread on GD right now exclaiming 3:15 lvl 4 clear with Shyvanna.

tested it last night, Rammus still much faster clear with 21 offensive than 21 defensive. Still not much faster than old Rammus.

Bladed Armor is perhaps the most overrated mastery of all time. People are flipping **** about how much it speeds jungle times up, but its effect is extremely marginal.

offensive is slightly stronger for jungling now than it was before. Honestly not by much.

new masteries suck, I'm probably going to be running 21-23 in offensive on like, everyone.

Sion fairly solid, but no he definitely loses to Cass in lane. Her poking is too strong and too safe for Sion to roll over her.

Pretty much how I've been feeling.
Although I've only been testing setups for Akali.
I'm now just bouncing between 25/4/1 or 25/0/5, running Flash Ignite still for summoners.
And since there is so much AP increasing on the Offense tree, it serves to free up an entire quint slot, so my rune page for Akali is now:
6 Flat AD Reds/3 MPen Reds, HP/Lvl yellows, AP/Level blues, 2 flat AP Quints/1 MS Quint.

The last quint can probably be changed to whatever, I might even just keep it as another flat AP.

With this setup, you start with the AD Mastery, and then get the AP mastery at level 2. By level 6 you've gotten the exact same AP you'd have if you were running flat AP, and as you level up by snowballing really hard after you hit 6, you'll have more AP overall than you would.

>.> Does this sound logical to all you other Akali players in this thread?!

Maybe my opinion of this will change if a good cass destroys me mid with Sion. From my experience, her DoT isn't going to break shield. If you want to break a shield before you get stunned you are going to have to twin fang it once or twicen depending on how late in laning phase it is, meaning you just stopped to use a move so you are probably getting at the least stunned if not shielded as well. If you choose not to compete with shield he is going to 6 creep a wave and go roam while you salvedge creeps on tower. Cass is borderline broken laner and arguably best AP, just not seeing how she shuts down Sion in lane.

Idk, I'd think any Cass worth her salt can get off two E's to break Sion shield before his stun animation goes through.

The thing is people are taking defensive tree masteries that are pretty much just to speed up jungle are hampering their later game in exchange. Who cares if you shave some time off your first jungle? You're still going to spend time waiting for creep respawns.

That said, I think defensive tree gets a bit of flack. I still really like it, although of course Offensive tree is the best.

Lol, Dphat. Just watched the beginning of the recorded game b/c I was curious how you guys discussed and stuff and you called my champs HARD, lol. "PX best is Lee Sin but he can also play Trundle." "Dan can also play Talon as well."

WTF, haha.

I'm really just looking forward to the end when we instagibbed Andy.

I like how you couldnt see my arrows at all. Like, they would hit and there would be stun/frost, but you didnt actually see the arrow (cause of lack of vision).

I'm new to this game. What do you guys think of Riven? I've had a lot of fun playing her.
I think Riven is easily a tier one level champion, but she's criminally underused despite crazy early damage, crazy late game scaling, and amazing mobility.

Don't tell anybody else though.

I need to mid against a good Cass so I know what she's capable of doing. I rarely mid, but last time I did, I was mid Lux, and I facerolled their Cass with max range E's and punished pretty much every extension or poke attempt with Q, then if she did hit me, threw W to eat the poison damage.

Lmfao woah bro calm down. My post was a playful jab at you, not a dis or calling you bad. You talk a lot about your luck in Solo Queue, and I remember that 1 time you were like "Statistically it's impossible to be as unlucky as I am", so I threw that in. If anything, I made a LOT more fun of Jazriel and his Crit Marks lol.

Therefore nobody was buffed? Or different people within the same role?
Well, initially I said all masteries were buffed but I changed it to what I said because the new utility is not necessarily better than the old utility. But, having a heavy utility spec is a lot stronger than anyother previous spec for supports. This makes a buffed support. The new utility also opens the door for a lot of different supports outside of janna/soraka/sona/alistar/taric. By the way, heal is pretty good.

As for jungling, from a few things jatt said he feels that role was buffed the most and theres no need to go full 21 in anything, but rather a bit of points in each. I think it's really early to say for sure.

Cass beats sion, it is not the idea of spamming Es to break the shield but rather landing the W to allow you to get the advantage in MS advantage therefore getting out of Sion's range. The Cass just has to be good, and in most cases they are not.

Dying from a Crit that wasn't influenced by any items is probably the worst feeling I've ever felt in this game. :applejack:

and my post was just sarcasm! retroactively changing the tone of our posts is fun.

i don't talk about solo q anymore, but i stand by everything i said. i will still call out people who hate on me for no reason.

It wasn't hate then and it isn't hate now. What you want me to do, make fun of UTDZac Ashe or his new "close friend" in League he met last night? Dphat talking about Leesin not winning high elo then wanting to pick him up? Like I think we can deal with some playful jabs here and there.

How did this get so serious?!?

"You remember Miss Maynard the 4th grade teacher"

"Yeah she was real nice"

"Yeah so sad, she passed away a few weeks ago"

"Oh no really? That's so sad"

"Yeah I know right?"

"So what are you wearing right now?"

"Oh you :8"
