plenty of champs are nerfed the next patch after release. It just hasn't been necessary lately, other thab darius' grace period being removed every champs been either pretty balanced or has a high skillcap.

[Tatzel]

To me it feels like it mostly depends on how much people complain about a new champ for them to be nerfed next patch after release or not, and for a champion needing a high skill cap doesn't exactly make them balanced. And Darius is a bad example if you ask me, sure his ult only refreshes on cooldown and his passive doesn't deal as much damage as before, but his passive is still very hurting and getting a kill with his ult is not hard at all because he deals a fuckhuge amount of true damage. Cho'Gath also got a really hurting ult with a on-kill effect, but atleast it doesn't reset the cooldown which easily allows a Darius to annihilate an enemy team in an instant. True damage in general is an unstable thing, it can work, but just not in these huge numbers which just tear you a new one and you can't do anything against it.

Another example would be Fiora, I think the only thing they changed was that she gets a bit less HP regen from her passive? But she's still as strong as ever.
Some of the recent nerfs or buffs aren't really comprehensible for me, but hey what can I do, either I take it or stop playing.

I have never had a negative score as her, I have been diving jungle Mundo at full health while he has his ult, I have never lost mid lane to another AP (and I've played against a wide range), I almost NEVER die without taking someone with me on the rare occasions I do die, if someone walks into the brush I am in, even if they have built defensively, I WILL kill them. When I reach level 6 I am basically guaranteed to kill my lane partner, assuming I haven't already killed them a couple if times. I can easily solo blue buff at level 5, sometimes less. I can solo Dragon at level 5. If I take the time to roam, I will get kills even if they sit at their tower. Her seeds are so short cooldown that I can clear wraiths, harass my enemy laner with both seeds two times, and then be ready to clear wraiths again. She has no mana issues once you have 2 doran's rings. With just Athene's Unholy Grail and the cooldown mastery, she reaches 39% CDR when her W is max rank. With 2 ranks in ", Athene's and Blue, she has max CDR. If I manage to root someone with my E (which is very easy to do), I will usually either kill them or send them back home.

The only thing I can think to fault about her is her wonky and underwhelming passive, but frankly, if she didn't have a passive, she'd still be very strong, because played correctly she doesn't die.


This is not a 'toot my own horn' post. This is just my experience with the champion. I love playing her but it feels sort of ridiculous. Maybe people just aren't good enough at countering her yet, who knows. But I can't think of anyone who would beat her mid lane.


EDIT: Actually, Bulky AP Soraka would probably fair quite well. But that's about it.

Is it bad that I can basically go through the Tribunal and hit "punish" for every case I see?

I mean, I don't, I really try to see if they deserve a pardon, but ugh there's just so many scumbags.

[Cottarsby]

Most of the cases are pretty horrible and deserved.

Every once in a while I'll come across one in which I want to punish reportee's teammates.

[SaintCrazy]

Yeah that happens a lot too. I think there's a rule about only basing the decisions off of what the accused has done, but that doesn't stop me from hoping somebody reported the entire team...

[Cottarsby]

Anybody feel like queueing up for a game? I'm level thirty, but I don't much care who I run with.

Just for funsies.

[Tatzel]

I don't really feel like playing at the moment and I got a bit of stuff to do, but your summoner name would still be nice so we could play another time.

[Cottarsby]

Summoner name is "Rhetorify".

So, I guess the Cho skin is going to be Legendary.

Kinda rustled now I skipped getting Ahri because I wanted this skin, and I won't have enough RP if it's legendary.

Also, these are on the right hand side:

V-BC/XER
V-BC/URG
V-BC/SKA
V-BC/MAW
V-BC/ANV

So I guess, Skarner, Kog'maw, and Anivia are going to get Battlecast skins as well. Urgot has his and Xerath has one as well, but I guess you could say it was a prototype or something.

[SaintCrazy]

Battlecast Anivia? What, she turns into a jet fighter?

Actually that'd be pretty cool...

[Tatzel]

Missing 14 RP to buy Galactic Nasus waaaaaaaah

Draw Riot a picture, you may get the RP you need.

[Tatzel]

Well for 16 RP I'd have to draw something detailed, and I don't want the skin THAT badly

If only I hadn't bought the Valkyrie skin for Leona back then...

[Verom]

Wait you actually get something other than the feature for being in the showcase?
