i remember one time i ulted as karthus cause bot was fighting

i get a double kill but i was watching bot and only one died from my ult, so i was confused

find out i killed top lane too

good times

 

[Zero_Gamer]

So, what are the verdicts on the new items?

 

[Mogwai]

new starks is easier to buy on supports. still pretty awkward.

locket is pretty subtle, but pretty good IMO. it looks like a small number, but can be fairly game changing.

 

[Wave⁂]

Even with the changes, I still don't think Stark's Zeke's gives the support itself enough stats. Possibly viable on maybe Sona, given how aggressive she is with poking and harass. No other support autoattacks that much.

Stark's Zeke's AS also works well with Sona's Q passive.

 

[Cactuar]

I kinda like the idea of getting Zeke's on Mundo when my team has an AD jungle, so top lane synergizes with Jungle and AD. Pair with CD boots and the cd per level masteries, and I have like 40% cd at 18 I think, but I'd probably have Merc's or Tabi.

When would I get it though? Fatmogs + triforce or fatmogs + PD is a midgame requirement if I want to be a jerk and cleaver the **** out of people all over the map...

I guess if I'm not doing well gold wise, I can always go FoN, Mogs, Boots, Zeal, Zeke, Locket and be an unkillable soak while being credit to team.

Stark's Zeke's AS also works well with Sona's Q passive.

It gives 50 HP, 5% CDR, 5% AS for 425 to the wielder + the aura effect. meh, cost efficiency is still very mediocre, it's just better stats for a support than previously. Still needs to give more defensive stats to the wielder or cost less I think, but it is more accessible to supports now than it was before.

 

[Tmacc]

My last ranked game before I went to bed, our support Jarvan got a Stark's and I got a quadra kill as Lee our first team fight with it. I was only 1-1 before that, so I wasn't fed...I really think the starks helped a lot, especially on a team with 4 autoattack champs...

I feel its supper viable on champs like Jarvan and Mundo etc

Also, why are people calling it Zeke's? The Jarvan called it that in game too...

 

[Vyke]

... They renamed it to Zeke's Herald.

 

[UTDZac]

I hate zeke's herald. ugh

its one of those items im never building on chogath again.

 

[Tmacc]

... They renamed it to Zeke's Herald.

lawl, I didn't even see that.

I like the old name better...

 

[Geoberos]

All these CDR on Locket and now own the revamped Zeke's looks pretty enticing for my aura Sona. I had a Poppy on team last night so I picked up Zeke's. Also I liked the fact HoG can build into Locket instead of building it into Randuin's. Team fight erupts, activate Shurelya's and Locket, stay by Poppy with Zeke's and let her work her magic.

However I have conflicts when to use Locket with a singular teammate. And with all these CDR on almost every aura item I use*, I'm not sure whether to switch out CDR runes on my Sona.

Man everytime i see that name I think of this d2 item.

 

[adumbrodeus]

Oh god, cassiopeia is so much fun.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

You'd be surprised the kind of people you can carry, let me ask you this. What are you maxing first?

I max her W first.

Then her Q with a little in E.

Then finish E.

I wanna support bad people playing a carry, but a lot of people are just stupid with it.

It's from Contol-Alt-Delete, that really awful webcomic. he managed to get his fans to get him 1000 referrals.

 

[DallasPhat]

I know it was from 1000+ referrals, regardless the name still reminds me of that item.

solo queue chauster and doublelift in this game

 

[Vyke]

Seriously guys, just advertise your streams on LoL General Forums and Reddit then eventually get hosted by CLG or Solomid. get mucho viewers.

Max Q first.

Start Q and charge it in the fountain.

Take W level 2.

I usually take E level three, but it depends on the situations in the game.


Lemme put it this way, your Q+power chord does more level 1 damage then almost anything in the game. While you're laning it's your job to zone and poke against the enemy team cause you outdo your carry in damage easily.

Ranged carries (with a few notable exceptions) have weak early games, your job as a support is to protect them so they reach their endgame and they do that by being able to freely last hit on creeps.

You'll always be working with then, and try to get kills in lane if possible, but their main job is to farm and your main job is to zone and poke for them.

 

[fkacyan]

I played - And wrecked - the same guy three times in a row.

I feel really bad, he let his team know exactly how I was going to counterjungle the second AND third games and they didn't bother listening.

I'll give this a try and see how it goes with her.

Thanks for the advice.

So.. what do we think of Ziggs.

IMO, he doesn't seem THAT strong to me. But this is the first time I've wanted to play a new champ non stop since Cassio.

 

[Wave⁂]

Ziggs looks like Gragas with less burst and more sustained damage to me.

 

[DallasPhat]

You serious... you know gragas passive and w = lane sustain right? He seems like old orianna, long range poke nasty auto attack passive + massive aoe slow. Yeah definitely feel like old orianna to me. Don't know where you guys come up with your comparisons.

 

[DMG]

He feels like a Hybrid of Old Shaco mixed in with the jungling portion of Eve, mixed in with pre nerf Volibear and an ounce of 6 turret Heimer

 

[Wave⁂]

I hate how sustain and sustained mean completely different things

 

[DallasPhat]

LUL i just read it wrong my bad, I know what you meant sorry. But nah he feels ALOT like orianna.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

He feels like a long range AP champ.

His Ult's range I've seen been used to hit champs under tower trying to recall from Dragon to Bot.

 

[fkacyan]

How are his ratios? I've yet to see him played once.

 

[DallasPhat]

His ratios are okay, q: 0.65 w: 0.35 e: 0.3 r: 0.95, BUT his cooldown are ridiculous and all his moves are AOE. People often forget that.

 

[fkacyan]

An easy way to look at that is just increase the ratio by how many people the ability actually hits.

That means his ult's ratio is 4.75 provided it hits 5 people.

ALSO

I are NO LONGER BRONZE

What rating is gold?

 

[adumbrodeus]

His ratios are okay, q: 0.65 w: 0.35 e: 0.3 r: 0.95, BUT his cooldown are ridiculous and all his moves are AOE. People often forget that.

Of course, if all his mines hit his potential burst becomes insane...


Not gonna happen though.

 

[PhantomX]

Gold is 1520. Still got a bit to go.

 

[fkacyan]

Gold is 1520. Still got a bit to go.

Not as far as I thought it would be.

NINE WINS IN A ROW LET'S DO THIS.

Nah, I'm not that lucky.

 

[adumbrodeus]

Odds are you're better then you were before.



Which reminds me, I'd like to start ranked rather soon, I'm a competent player that mains support. Currently looking for a duo queue partner, preferably an AD carry. Would like to practice in a number of normals with said duo queue partner before actually playing ranked.

 

[Wave⁂]

That means his ult's ratio is 4.75 provided it hits 5 people.

To be fair, that would also mean Viktor's ult has an 11 AP ratio. Instead of multiplying by 5, it'd be more meaningful to compare it with other AoE spells. It's about as strong as Fizz's ult or Tibbers, for example.

Also, his ult is slow as ****, it's hard to hit people that aren't CCed or narcoleptic that are far away.
