I tend to like safe-farming mages
, but Akali has been the lone exception so far and is my favorite mid.

I think I have the right champ for you!!1!1


Given that it's you, I'm assuming Karthus? I used to play him a lot season 3, but dropped him some time last year because I struggled with the supposedly favorable Yasuo matchup, and Yasuo was like 90% ban/pick at the time. Haven't gotten back into him - is he strong right now?

I definitely rank him high up there in terms of mages, and looking at stats he does have a high winrate, around 52% (though he is in the bottom 10 in terms on pick rate, so I can't tell if that winrate is only due to mostly the karthus mains or not).

Really problem with karthus is that he has a high skill cap, and if you don't dedicate a lot of time to him then xerath/lux/malz etc would all do a much better job.

And the other problem is if you ARE willing to dedicate time to learning him, then you should probably use that time to instead learn cass, because she's much better right now :(

One pro though is that Karthus isn't likely to get nerfed anytime soon, so you won't be wasting time learning/playing a champ that will soon get nerfed.

Think about him like Poppy. Both very strong champions, but with a high skill cap, and both have some popular champs that do similar job better. Because of this, their playerbase is very small, thus leading to riot not really paying attention to them, while focusing on balancing the popular strong picks.

Cass has mana cost increases on the PBE. Using her E mana refund might become more important.

Good luck. :]

Is the Amumu lore video supposed to be preempting anything in particular? It's really cool, but it seems iffy content-wise.

I hope they integrate all the cool videos into the client someday.

Is it riot made? I thought it was fan-made and they're just spotlighting it.

Honestly it seems like the lore changing was just an excuse for "we want to make awesome looking videos"

I'm certainly not complaining! :mrgreen:

Just not sure if it heralds anything. Kalista had a video that leaked before her release. Something about a lightning mage leaked back in December I think.

The videos are alright, it's just not old lore standard stuff apart from the videos.

I still prefer the old to the new cause i'd rather a decent story compared to some half decent videos (and they were doing videos anyway with the old lore.)

I don't actually think it's nearly as good as their previous things like this, primarily because the lyrics aren't very good, but the art was really beautiful.

FWIW, a Rioter has said that Poppy was next on the rework list following Tristana. I'd like to see something done with Amumu tho since I got one of his rares.

I still have no idea what Azir does but apparently he's a priority ban and is very good?

I'm about to hit 30 off of a string of really fun pvp wins. I've just been spamming morgana in team builder support and winning game after game.

I consider him like Caitlyn but with a better mid and lategame. And with the ability to instantly disengage any fight, force you to fight under turret, and engage/insec.
