Her shield allows you to avoid a lot of his damage, and if you build RoA first he'll never be able to burst you. Just make sure you don't try to stun him with Q or he'll dodge it with his ult and you'll be fucked.

I feel like as Annie you should just keep your stun up and he'll never engage.

Sure, but that's boring.

Define "beat"

she bends him over her knee and spanks him with a ruler.

they're probably better with their fingers

noooooo, they listed annie as the 2nd-highest win rate for midlaners (behind ahri), now people are going to know she's op.

ashe was really great until they started giving everyone gapclosers on a 3s cd

yes.

In post 39344, zoraster wrote:cool. I guess that explains it! Build seems pretty viable, providing you get fed quickly and don't die. You know. So totally something everyone should do.

theoretically you could just stand in the brush and get a headshot on every attack provided you're hitting 3 people.
but you'll still be doing less damage than you would with another adc.

so because runaans doesn't crit you feel like IE is a waste of money
do you realize how backwards you are thinking

Nikanor · Sat Feb 14, 2015 2:03 pm

the fact that he's talking about building around runaans makes him indefensible tho

it proooobably shouldn't load automatically.

Nikanor · Mon Feb 23, 2015 4:41 pm

do you know how to use aa resets?
if you do then maybe you're activating your e too early or your ult too late.

It's a huge buff to his early game and he's an infinite scaler <_<
The new delay on E is not that big of a deal.

yeah but q is a skillshot now. huge nerf.

Nikanor · Tue Feb 24, 2015 12:20 pm

although hey with the lower cooldowns and whatnot maybe jungle veigar can make a comeback

Nikanor · Sat Feb 28, 2015 8:32 am

you have to get demoted back to gold so you can reroll your division name, that's the only sane choice at this point imo

Nikanor · Mon Mar 02, 2015 9:44 am

right about now i feel myself wishing for a way to block invites from friends-of-friends.
let the spamming begin.

Nikanor · Sat Mar 07, 2015 6:57 pm

i got stomped by an ashe in ranked last night because our jinx and leona fed her 8 kills in 8 minutes. and i'm just sitting here wondering why people still think counters even matter.

Nikanor · Mon Mar 09, 2015 4:05 am

went 6/4 in placements, placed gold 5, now i don't have to play ranked for the rest of the year wooooooooo

But I'm getting like 30 lp a win so maybe I can do it in 20 games or less and be smurfs only. My smurfs is also silver 2 though so maybe I'm just a silver 2 shitter

The new placement system is inscrutable. I only went 6/4 while duoing with Krystal for all 10 of my matches and still got placed in gold 5, which makes no sense to me. Placement is mostly random I think and probably depends a lot on matchmaking. Silver is super easy to get out of, just keep playing games and you'll make it no problem.

I ship Annie with myself.

I'm also not sure what the crit part means: does it mean you ONLY do 50% of base damage on a crit, or that's how much is added to your normal auto attack?

The former.

Nikanor · Tue Mar 31, 2015 10:11 am

I get the feeling that this mode is just going to be a contest to see who can pick Cassiopeia.

Nikanor · Tue Mar 31, 2015 10:26 am

Depending on how they code it, Master Yi may be immune to NURF's slow while Highlandering. Which would be a pretty big oversight if true, but still!

Nikanor · Tue Mar 31, 2015 11:37 am

Basically, every attack against non-buildings will deal 50% of your base attack damage.

Nikanor · Tue Mar 31, 2015 11:56 am

If I'm understanding it correctly, +AD items will do nothing for you unless you're attacking a tower, since crits will always set you back to 50% of your base AD.

Don't get me wrong, it's still amazing to steal a baron, etc. Just pointing out that it's not really cho's fault.

Nidalee Q.

As a note, Nid's Q isn't THAT type of execute (it scales up, but isn't based on missing health), but there is no reason that an AP nidalee that is full AP with smite should be able to have baron stolen off her.

Not that Q, the other Q.

Have you installed any new programs recently? I get the same thing some times and I'm pretty sure it's Citrix causing it for me.

Still, it's more like turning crit items into an AD deathcap for her. It's a constant multiplier instead of an RNG one. Though we don't have the numbers.

Crit should just be like that by default. Rng is bad design, and it's been removed everywhere except for crit
and gp's ult.

In post 41077, Voidedmafia wrote:I actually kinda like the change to Recurve bow, and kinda to BC as well. Sure, the flat AD pen will be missed, but it settles the item into being purely about tank shredding. As for Recurve, it kinda makes it worth more than being a stepping stone to Runaan's (although that's pretty much all it builds to now, isn't it?

Also, those skins...just wow.

P-EDIT: That only really works if you have a fully stacked Focus when you R+Q otherwise you're just adding more slows until you get to full stacks.

Hitting full focus is trivial, you can get it by Wing a minion wave.

Nikanor · Tue May 05, 2015 6:31 am

no it isn't.
you're not gonna get punished for crashing once, twice, or even thrice in a single day.
if you crash every day you'll be punished, as you should be, for ruining a game for nine people every day without bothering to fix the issue.
entering games when you know you have a problem with crashing halfway through makes you no less of an asshole than those that deliberately leave halfway through. you're still entering the game with the knowledge that there's a decent chance of you ruining it for everyone else by dc'ing.

The new one coming out with the magic damage probably is more widely useful since I assume that applies to bruiser abilities too.
