The cast time reductions are the only thing actually addressing them issues she has.

She still lacks mobility and combos for a champion that is supposed to be about … mobility and combos.

MrCoffee · 2011-09-20T06:08:56.000Z

So, you are saying QQQ isn’t a combo therlun?

Harkonis · 2011-09-20T06:17:38.000Z

I’m not sure she’s even supposed to be a high mobility champ.

Riot’s own Champion Spotlight for the character says in the first line she’s supposed to be a high mobility character.

Yea, I cannot believe they didn’t add, you know, a dash to her dash.

didn’t watch it. A lot of the champion spotlights become irrelevant shortly after character releases with changes. (hell, a few were outdated on release)

McKnight · 2011-09-20T07:24:50.000Z

I watch them to try and get a gauge on how stupid Riot actually thinks people are this month.

That’s fine. I’m just saying, people complaining about her lack of mobility aren’t pulling an expectation of high mobility out of thin air.

forgeforsaken · 2011-09-20T07:51:13.000Z

The lead designer also was talking in the forums about her being highly mobile.

Harkonis · 2011-09-20T08:07:02.000Z

well she definitely isn’t mobile. I’ll give you that. ;)

Tyjenks · 2011-09-20T08:40:38.000Z

Ugh. I suck at last hitting. It is really difficult with minions and another Champion. In the videos it looks so easy. :). Heck, I am still trying to get strafing left and right down. If the champs moved at a faster rate, I think I would be a lost cause.

Don’t worry, everyone sucks at last hitting at first, and many continue to do so for a long, long time. Myself included!

At this stage in your lol career you may be trying out new champs to see what you like, and that complicates things. The difference between their auto-attack animations makes learning to properly last hit complicated, because that is what last hitting IS- learning your champ’s attack animations. It’s not something you do consciously, it just comes with practice, and switching from champ to champ resets your progress. Keep at it, focus on doing it, and you WILL get better :)

Hanacker · 2011-09-20T09:09:07.000Z

If you suck at last hitting, you can always be a full-time jungler or a support.

McKnight · 2011-09-20T09:09:23.000Z

And above all have fun!

-edit- LOL, Hanacker :)

To be fair, a lot of the videos I have seen are not representative of the way the game usually plays out. A lot of the videos selected for last hitting seem to be fairly ideal situations, where there is not a lot of harassment, for example.

Of course the good players continue to get their last hits in, but it admittedly gets harder for everyone when minions get clumpy, when you’re also factoring in when you do have to start autoattacking (or using skills) to keep the minion clumps positioned where you want them as a whole, etc.

AaronSofaer · 2011-09-20T10:23:33.000Z

yay, Xin Zhao is free this week. I’ve always wanted to try jungling with him.

Nathan_Phoenix · 2011-09-20T10:30:10.000Z

He’ll make a man out of you.

bluemax · 2011-09-20T10:30:57.000Z

Pogo:

He’s still not good enough to carry you in ranked, idrisz, I’m sorry.

Sad but true.
