this patch killed mf

Um no

Go yomuu's into attack speed boots into edge of night into black cleaver

Then ga (?) and if the game is super long end it with a duskblade

That's what I've had success with so far.. Make sure you're maxing w second, it gives

100%!

attack speed and the 40% lost from yomuu's isn't huge

[Dunnstral]

also hi I play league

[Dunnstral]

most important part to mf is knowing where to stand and getting good ults off

use your e slow to assist in teamfights or right before you ult

don't overextend to auto

[Dunnstral]

not 100% yet I'm trying out

maybe replce edge with duskblade if you want or switch them

[Dunnstral]

I think it is... her w gives 100% attack speed, berserker greaves give another 35%, so the 40% loss isn't as much

also mf's ult does a lot of damage when you build like this and your team can play around it, even if you don't do well early on

[Dunnstral]

I remember using ghostblade for damage more often when taking objectives rather than teamfights, otherwise I'd use it to run away or catch up, and it still serves that second purpose for me.. it's like 300g cheaper now and It also has lethality over armor pen, which gets stronger starting at level 12 I think (a bit after you finish the item)

Though the new serrated dirk is quite a bit worse on mf, as the old one had really good synergy with her q on minions and I'm not sure how much movement speed out of combat really helps her, though you move really fast with this build out of combat

[Dunnstral]

Pretty much all I've been playing recently is taliyah mid and mf adc

And I feel really strong on both of those

[Dunnstral]

edge of night situational actually

[Dunnstral]

I've been playing taric with knight's vow and redemption. I'm convinced knight's vow is overpowered

Start off going for face of the mountain - I prefer this to eye of the equinox because it gives 10% cdr and the shield is strong and stacks with your health

As Taric I take either refillable potion or straight up rejuvenation bead along with targons. Been like rejuvenation bead... also take courage of the colossus so if I land a stun I can get really favorable trades

Taric just has so much healing and shielding I can get away with rejuvenation bead and I'm usually healing for the adc

I think I like getting ruby sightstone before knight's vow as it gives quite a bit of health. Also the active which reduces item active cooldowns becomes really strong later on (it's even strong for knight's vow)

Item costs 2400, redirects 12% of damage your mark takes towards yourself as true damage

If you bind it to your adc and you're near them, they'd have an effective 250 more hp worth of mitigation (assuming there's at 1600 hp) PLUS you get 12% of their damage as healing for yourself, which likely overheals you

And then you've got 60 armor on a support item coupled with 400 hp which is really strong

Next I get Redemption - this items really cheap at 2100 gold - 400 health, 10% cdr, some mana regen (oh and you have a ton of health regen from all these items at this point)
And the unique passive gives 10% heal and shield power which is quite nice on taric having both. Also the active has crazy range, never mind being dead, I usually cast this far away to help turn a fight or on a guy I've just stunned. This heals for a ton too.

Next I go for frozen heart and locket of the iron solari - already have a ton of hp at this point so I grab the frozen heart mostly for the aura and cdr
Locket's shield is really strong and can help your team survive while your ult drops

Wow I just talked a lot about something pretty random but I've really been liking this stuff lately

[Dunnstral]

you have to choose two between redemption, frozen heart, and locket and you can swap those around too

go play some taric guys

[Dunnstral]

Think I actually like eye of equinox since then you can get your items timely

[Dunnstral]

won 6/4, at silver v ughghh

It's preseason so it resets and you'll do placements again when season 7 starts

Though you're likely to end up at a similar rank as I think it tries to do that

[Dunnstral]

warwick looks fun and strong

[Dunnstral]

Gonna need links to both :^

[Dunnstral]

The higher elo you are, the more important tp is

[Dunnstral]

Nah, they lost that game.

Doesn't matter

[Dunnstral]

^ what? That just makes it less efficient

[Dunnstral]

>when they pull zac

[Dunnstral]

I think they're going to make it so queued together players can't honor each other, or very limited in the amount of times they can honor each other, along with the honor revamp

[Dunnstral]

Camille is actually a viable support (in an engage kind of way, not great at peeling)

j4 not really

[Dunnstral]

sometimes I like to bring out the taliyah support


mixed results

[Dunnstral]

Uh, j4 is a much better support than camille.

[Dunnstral]

oops I started playing league again

[Dunnstral]

Don't play league with dunn he'll flash just to take your cs when he's supporting you...

This never happened

[Dunnstral]

i will ult from tribush as jhin jg to steal my bot's cs tbh

This sounds amazing

I need to casually work jhin jungle in sometime without people getting suspicious

[Dunnstral]

[Dunnstral]

[Dunnstral]

I might have to play Yasuo now.

[Dunnstral]

Speaking of lux, i have a decent winrate with lux jungle right now

e raptors when you're not doing them to heal from talisman

[Dunnstral]

Here are some tips for splitpushing:

Understand when your team is putting up pressure, and when they're not. If your team isn't doing anything, the other team is likely coming for you
Watch the map, if a lot of people are unaccounted for then don't split push unless your team has pressure elsewhere (it's ok if the enemy team kills you, as long as your team gets something for it)
Don't push up if you don't have pressure in other lanes - watch your own team on the map as well - at the very least this will keep you from feeding

what's you guys' impression of karthus jungle by the way?
i'm very very comfortable as karthus mid, and fighting/farming with him in general, but surviving in the jungle (against invades - his farm is better than other jungler's) is a different challenge from that of sitting under tower and i've felt guilty undertaking it even while capturing kills via ganks and ults
is he just a situational pick i should avoid unless i know the jungler/enemy laners won't have lots of kill pressure?
or is there some sort of macro tactic i'm missing?

Ask your teammates to put wards at the jungle entrance, and to rotate to help you early if you're getting invaded

Pay attention to how the lanes are pushed - can your laners roam to help you, or are they getting shoved into tower?
