Sorcs is indeed a guilty pleasure. If I'm a better player I just buy mobi's there. It's just that pen kind of nice with mummy when dueling but yes, that's bad.
You can see where I bought the GA, we had one good fight ahead of us at that point, which imo would decided the winner, so I bought into my pink ward slot there. I don't think you can beat GA for that situation.
Yes, mummy flash ult can be strong, but the disto SPEED doesn't help with that. So it's just lower flash cd, which okay, but if you're flash ulting regularly you should just land bandage more instead? Flash ult is for those emergency bad positioning situations, and it's exactly in those that the captain speed boost will help your teammates get to the fight you started.
I disagree with mobis, and I don't think sorcs are a guilty pleasure per se. magipen on amumu is really strong! But Liandry's for pen instead of an armor item and tabi for armor instead of sorcs is a better way to get the pen here. LW doesn't stop Tabi passive, Liandry's has HP, etc. What's the point of getting sorc if you're using your slots on all defensive stats?
I understand the "one good fight" reasoning for lategame GA's, but those are for people who do damage, y'know? Try to describe a situation where GA on mummy will be impactful. It's actually pretty hard."Don’t buy a dozen eggs if you just want a hardboiled egg. Don’t buy a head of lettuce if you just want a salad. Don’t buy eggs and lettuce if you want egg salad because those are not the right ingredients." -Julius Bloop-

It's also much harder to respond to, which is really nice. Bandage sees champs like corki or graves scatter from that point, with flash you have a chance of getting them both.In post 40827, hitogoroshi wrote:Yes, mummy flash ult can be strong, but the disto SPEED doesn't help with that.

It's not an answer to this post, but in general pen is cool because of the high damage that's hidden in mostly despair and somewhat in tantrum during a teamfight, together with stacking that with mummy's passive. Not really looking to build AP. Either way, that's at it's most effective when your opponents can't/don't have to prioritize MR so you get close to true damage on w and e. With Annie and Diana in game, that situation clearly wasn't there, should just have gone full utility mummy because investing in pen becomes less cost effective when there's more mr around. Mobi's esspecially early on are nice for ward placement and moving for counterganks. Lategame you are right, tabi would easily be superior.I disagree with mobis, and I don't think sorcs are a guilty pleasure per se. magipen on amumu is really strong!

Just the living longer/again aspect. It did in the end do nothing, that's true. Maybe righteous glory would have been better in retrospect, then i'd get some extra cc for said fight.Surrender, imagine and of course wear something nice.-

So, I'm at most, 4 games away from being the 5 time 5 time 5 time 5 time 5 time North American champion of silver. What should be my next goal? A hollow and mostly unmotivated run at platinum, leveling up a smurf and bombing it, or trying to find some kind of fun in league? Or quit. Quit is an option too.Sometimes a sandwich is just a sandwich.-

Kaceytron was in rare form earlier today.
I hope she gets Bronze II.-

when you need to lock down more than one person, I'd think?
also, when their team is less mobile - vi's ult is long-range point-and-click engage, while udyr's stun is RUN AT SOMETHING AND HOPE YOU GET TO IT
like, I would imagine you don't ever pick udyr into kalista or kassadin, etcCurrent Avatar: Kronk. Duh.-

There's no coincidence that most of the original (unskinned) Chinese Artworks are redrawn to make the characters look less...European White. They definitely look more Asian. Jump on the wiki and take a look at the champions compared to their chinese artworks (Garen and Caitlyn are both good examples).
Is it bad I almost exclusively like the Chinese artwork I've seen better than the North American? It's really kinda funny; I'm guessing maybe it's to do with being raised on a lot of Japanese manga / anime / video games, but I feel like that kindof... anime-ish look is just better for League, and probably video games in general.
#UnpopularOpinions
A lot of these are just a matter of better posing / Cool ScoreTM, IMO, but I don't understand why that kindof thing couldn't carry over to other regions' splash art...

Spoiler: Chinese Viktor
Spoiler: Chinese Blade Mistress Morgana
Spoiler: Chinese Jaximus
Spoiler: Chinese Nightblade Irelia
Spoiler: Chinese Sorceress Lux
I'm pretty sure those last two have been implemented in NA - you get the idea.
I'm not even gonna talk about what Wazza said / says in this thread. Wow.-

Also, just to toss an idea into the ring, so to speak: Jax is pretty obviously human, from his VO to his description / lore never saying anything other than "he's so good at fighting with useful shit we gave him a lamppost". He's the same as Yi. He has a weird helmet, that's all. Somebody had him in the "Other" pile and I just went wut.
