Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
I mean that will make him safer in lane, but a tear-hexdrinker means his early game is going to be even weaker than it already was, I feel like he's just going to be giving up way too much to a competent AP mid laner before he really gets on line.
And of course with new Zed you just straight up can't pick Varus mid first.

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
QSS is an item with that defense that only builds into something useful for marksmen, it's pretty terrible for assassins much less classes that don't use damage. And banshees is fine, but is pure defense. The point of the new item isn't to give out multiple spellshields (I'd be extremely surprised if they even stacked), but to give a few more options for that spellshield so that it's available as a defense option for different types of characters without unfairly burdening some classes.
Its not really a tradeoff when you can still get your favorite stat along with the defence.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
I mean, Varus' current state is as a counterpick into mid-range control mages, not as a first pick, and I never made the claim that itemization changes would make his laning better or let him win more match-ups or make him first-pickable into every game, so I don't know how that's really relevant.
I said the itemization changes will make Varus scale more favorably, which is good for him because the necessity of Tear rush already puts him behind on the Flat Pen race.Last edited by Ashen Lilies; 2016-10-20 at 06:25 PM.

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
I'd argue it is, as you COULD get your favorite stat along with any of the the following instead:
- More AD, increased Crit chance, bonus Crit damage.
- More AD, more lifesteal, built-in shield.
- More AD, CDR, and mana restoration.
The fact that we aren't seeing Mercurial Scimitar every game does imply to me that it's at least roughly balanced, and that there IS a tradeoff.

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
It's relevant because he's already weak early game, and now he's going to be even WEAKER in matchups he was picked into. Sure, his scaling is more favorable, but now he's going to take even longer to come on-line, and with the state of the game that means he's probably going to be even less useful than he is now. Scaling only helps if you have time to scale, and he's going to need even more time now. His final build is going to be better, but that still requires him to get there first.

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
That's the main issue with Varus currently... however, I could totally see Riot adjust a couple numbers and make Varus an AP (or Hybrid) Marksman. Then he could be a halfway-decent counter to Zed, as there wouldn't be much AD to steal, and rushing Seekers into Hourglass (Didn't someone do that during the LCS as item 6 instead of GA anyway?)
I never played much Varus, but as he stands now, I wonder if rushing Essence Reaver or Hextech GLP would be better-suited than Tear...

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
Not really. Before there was Scimitar we still had both BV and QSS - one passive and one active firm of CC-cancelling. Then they added Scimitar, for another active one. It didn't really shift things all that much, as far as I'm aware - most of the characters that would like it still prefer to spend the gold on pure offense. Now we get EoN. Will anyone buy it? Open question, but the form of the ability will be much less of a hair-trigger, which should help.

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
So I just received an invitation from Riot to participate in Ragnarök, Nordic Championships and Challenger Series Qualifiers. "As one of the top Nordic players..." The perplexing part for me is that I haven't played a single Ranked game since 2016 and last time I don't think I bothered to climb above D5. Did just every Diamond+ Nordic get an invite or something?

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
All right, Semifinals today!!
I kind of feel like whoever wins today is going to take it all. But it still should be a good game.
Side note - they have the twitter voting with the #Xwin - is there actually any place that you can view pick em stats for what % of people chose what team to win before the game? I mean you can pull up anybody's bracket individually but is there any aggregate of everybody's picks?

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
Did you mean haven't played since 2015? It's still 2016.
Most likely they did some kind of formula that pulled players based on their performance over the last 2-3 seasons, to make sure they scooped up any players that may have switched main accounts since being in Challenger/High diamond in a previous season.

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
Spoiler: ROX vs SKT game 1Really low kill game, SKT just had better map rotations and pressure. Then at the end ROX just hesitated WAY too long on the dragon, then committed to a fight after it went over to SKT.
3 infernal dragons and ROX still couldn't win late, this doesn't bode well for them in this series.

Spoiler: ROX vs SKT Game 2 Champion Select - WHAT THE ****Wait what the ****!??!?!?! Support Miss Fortune?!?!?!?!?!
I mean she does have good harass with her passive and at 6 the double ult is probably a kill, but I seriously question this late game.
Maybe he's just going to build a black cleaver and AOE shred?

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
Ah, I'm on EUW. Apparently they sent it to people from both servers.
I suppose that makes sense. I'm still perplexed that someone who's D1 is like two years back is getting these invites. Well, whatever, I suppose they just want to ensure nobody potentially interested gets left out. Hell, if this were some years back I'd jump at the opportunity.
Spoiler: ROX vs SKTWell, holy ****. MF support punishes micro mispositioning real hard it turns out. That game was brilliant by ROX. I honestly feel they should've been able to win G1 too if they didn't give that free catch for no reason; at this point I'm expecting ROX to win. I think they're showing smarter play and that tends to be the thing in Bo5s.Campaign Journal: Uncovering the Lost World - A Player's Diary in Low-Magic D&D (Latest Update: 8.3.2014)

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
Spoiler: Post SKT vs ROXAll right SKT comes back.
I feel like ROX pulled those 2 wins not really because Fortune is such a great support, but because it threw SKT off their rhythm and they couldn't adapt.
Then games 4 and 5 were basically standard league games, and SKT got back in their comfort zone of 'normal' and just outplayed ROX.

Hey, Djinn, I think I just played against you in ranked. It's fun and a little surprising seeing somebody you recognize, when it's mostly just faceless pubs.

I matched against my brother once, though it was in normals. It was really funny that it took him until ~10 minutes in to realize it was me swooping out of the jungle into his lane.

Re: League Of Legends LXVII: "MY PICK'EMS!"
Yeah, I didn't recognize him even though the name was pretty blatant until about 30 minutes into the game. Also my IGN changed, and not even sure he knows me much/at all.
It was a cool moment, though, and I feel guilty about that fb gank on him now. His split pushing was good though.Last edited by Epinephrine_Syn; 2016-10-21 at 11:14 PM.
