Fiddlestick really wanted to increase his penetration.

The most hilarious game I’ve played as Soraka. Got first blood and then two of the next three kills. The death was caused by Flashing past a tower to go for another kill and no one following, leaving me to die with three on the other team at very low health. Sort of amazed that no one built any MR.

dat crank

Highlights:

  • Despite my good performance, due to Dominion’s scoring quirks, I am rated below that Blitzcrank, with that build

  • mx #1 player on team despite being lagged out for large portions of the game

  • mx Poppy double kill while completely unable to issue commands (not shown)

  • Enemy Yorick losing lane to Alistar (not shown)

shown: sunfire Poppy, because “Yeah, sure, Sunfire Poppy, why not.” I had a belt, I had money, it was an upgrade. Whee

Technically, I was able to push buttons during that double kill, but my screen didn’t update until the fight was over. Press q to win.

I had a stupidly hilarious game today as Ryze. It started funny (Tryndamere is in the bush, I fake a face check, he chases me onto the tower, he dies with me 1 auto away from death), continued funny (Tryndamere tanks a double wave of creeps and gets zoned until I kill him again, then I kill Kassadin twice and Trundle once after they swap) and ended hilarious (by 20 minutes, I’m 11-0-1 or something). I was literally instantly killing 3 out of 5 people on their team.

Good times. We had their shrine at half before they surrendered at 20.

Patch preview summary:

Big Shaco buffs with longer range on JitBs and shorter trigger time on its fear/damage
Wukong damage buff on Q, AS buff on E, and some bug fixes on W
Olaf ult now takes him out of any CC, but lasts a bit shorter
Graves nerf to some abilities

Pick Jarvan, CC the un-CC’able. Trollface.

Flash, LOLJARVAN, proceed to murder carry

Goddammit. Whether or not he’s good is up for debate, but he’s always fucking annoying.

I think Olafs tend to carry Ghost instead.

EDIT: Shaco is one of those champions that I hope they leave permanently shitty. He is way too fucking annoying when he’s viable.

Yeah, his stealth cooldown needs to be doubled.

25 attack range increase doesn’t count, dammit.

Oh great, a buff for Shaco’s boxes? Like those things aren’t complete murder in Dominion already.

Not really. They reduced the AP ratio, the base damage and the range on boxes.

Well that’s a relief.

He got one less point neutralization and two more kills. It’s not a scoring quirk but him simply being a bit better than you, despite the build. Also, max might have lagged out, but he still has most points captured and most kills (shared) and assists from the time he was playing.

There are still some point distribution issues, especially for the bot lane player. But a player being better than you in scoring and fighting having more points? That’s pretty ok I would say. No matter the build.

The build also might not actually be THAT bad for dominon. Blitz has some built in tankyness and a surprisingly good attack speed buff (62% for 8 seconds) and a short cooldown attack skill that resets his auto attack. I am willing to believe that that build on blitz is actually somewhat decent in a 1:1 situation against most heroes, although I would have gone for less AP and more damage/AS.

I agree that on paper it looks good. But I think – and I think other players in the match would agree – that I was more active and more effective. And, uh… Wit’s End? I guess it kind of synergizes with his MS/AS steroid? I still think that’s weird.
