shh dont tell anyone he needs to stay sleeper

[JasonWazza]

I mean he is getting a rework.

[Psyche]

oh
damn

[Nosferatu]

fiora's pretty great

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Yeah fiora's a hidden op.

[Nosferatu]

I can't understand building BT over Death's Dance on her though, taking damage as a bleed helps you sustain over duels to live to hit those vitals, and you lose 5% for healing on Q.

Also situationally I think triforce is better than cleaver when there's no tanks and you're ahead.

Any objections?

[RayFrost]

Cleaver is less expensive so it makes for a better mid-game powerspike, BT has more flat AD and the lifesteal procs off of your ravenous hydra (which death's dance does not) and the shield you gain from it enables you to take poke without taking real damage - you also run the risk of overstacking cdr which is inefficient

[zoraster]

Cleaver getting cheaper too!

but with less damage. And a worse build path for ADCs.

thanks, forgot about ravenous.

I mean, i don't think it was intended as an item for adcs originally, so that's kind of fair.

[zoraster]

it's certainly fair.

Cho’Gath no longer loses Feast stacks on death

Feast can now stack infinitely (only five stacks can be gained from minions and non-epic monsters, though they don’t have to be the first five)

Feast no longer heals Cho’Gath when it kills a unit at max stacks (nomming a sixth minion or non-epic monster doesn’t do anything beyond damage)

Feast no longer grants two stacks on champion kill or half mana and cooldown refund on minion kill

Feast’s tooltip on the buff bar now tracks what Cho’s eaten

[JasonWazza]

Doesn't mean much in until we get into an actual slow meta, if game times start hitting 40+ minutes for an average game though, that buff will be too much.

[Klazam]

IM SO HAPPY

10 stack cho = walk into a zyra/jhin/talon, stay there hitting stuff for 16 seconds, team catches up to me to kill the three, walk away with half hp left.

BESTTHINGEVER

EDIT: edited for accuracy, i actually went in replay and watched. Talon and jhin both ulted me,

[Randomnamechange]

rip scarizard
also banning cho

[notscience]

I'm not sure if it's ali being OP or me only being able to play him but I'm 9/0 with him in ranked atm

If my laner sucks I just say screw you and go roam

If my laner is winning I just say "nah he can 1v2" and go roam

its a lot of fun

[DeathNote]

Huh... I used to play Ali all the time and really enjoyed his ability to peel and cc. After his last update, I haven't liked his kit as much and stick mostly to Braum or Naut if I want a tanky supp. Good for you if you found out how he works, I can't seem to do it.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I feel that Alistar is currently way too easily punished by damage supports. He can still gain a lead with a good flash/pulv engage though

[notscience]

I feel like that's why roaming works, I pick up mobi's so they can't punish my AD too hard and bc if I was going to be zoned from cs anyway might get another lane ahead

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

So you're pretty much giving up lane in the hopes of getting another lane ahead. Seems questionable. The thing with the e change is that you cant really sustain through the bad lane Alistar has anymore and you need to commit ewrly otherwise you just get poked out.
Hell, I even play Leona with hp/5 quints now to trade better in lane

[notscience]

I run hp/5 as well as the hp/5 mastery that gives me like 10 hp/5 base on top of what I already have

I think trying to focus on putting an ad ahead with all the assassins running around is futule, better to get my other lanes, be they assassins or tanks or high damage mages ahead is a much better use of my time.

I actually like the e changes and the added CC. Yes his heal is up less but he is, in his core, a roaming initiator.

And when it comes to teamfighting, I still peel for the AD. But getting an imobile lethalty ad or an ez who has super low damage ahead of the tanks they will have to fight against with no real sustained damage or the mages that light them up with less items is not on my priority list. Not to mention if I get the other lanes and/or jg ahead we can get drags and objectives and even gank bot

I still show up bot, typically to gank because the other team overextends because it was a 2v1. But just sitting in lane does nothing for my team, which is why I dont.
