I think the minion sustain hurts way more. An enemy might in some cases escape a gank or something with the lesser ult duration, but that's all. Camille is already supposed to lose a lot of lanes and losing that 60-80 free health from every w hit on 3 minions will make it significantly harder for her. Imagine she gets to start with two less health pots, that's pretty much what happens now. Every bad trade is going to stick on her.

Here you go Zky, here's my garbage tier attempt at doing a vod review.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhZQoLTYIuA
finally got around watching it, thanks for the tips

figured i'd stop after midlane turret was taken since from then on it was mostly a regular game of us stalling as much as we could. we came back a little bit once we started outscaling them but lost anyways for various reasons, not the least being a reksai dc during a critical fight

anyways, good stuff, had pretty terrible cs that game, but i get those games sometimes where i keep canceling autos and misjudging auto dmg, never really sure why it happens but sometimes i'm just like out of tune and will fuck up every creep. pretty sure there was a solid 20 free cs i could've gotten if i had just last hit better so that's pretty terrible lol

but yea mostly gonna take the ward advice to heart and maybe be smarter with my pings if i'm dead. i tend to just browse the shop or alt tab when i die so maybe that's not the smartest idea in the world when u got killed by full health talon. i tend to get caught off guard from post-death roams like that so it's a good thing to keep in mind.

the warding shit is a good idea also since mid-jungle duos love to pink the side brushes so just having a ward that's out of range and gives me a general vision of jungle and mid entrance. gotta be less lazy about that

the armor runes stuff i just forgot, i literally went like "oh shit i forgot my runes" the second i got into the loading screen lol

overall a pretty bad game for me but good takeaways to learn from, specially since i struggle a lot keeping level headed when i'm camped like that. also gotta be less lazy lol

It's kind of funny how pav always hosts other Teemo players and most of them feed like there's no tomorrow while building full ap and getting deleted. Pav's build using mallet and visage is a lot better for a champion that is required to go into his 500 aa range and stay there for a while to do anything relevant, while on the other hand rushing linadries, void staff, mpen boots and nashors really isnt worth it if the lack of defensive items means you're getting deleted in half a second every single fight.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a tilt-slide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up the ladder and see
I'm just a Koggy, I'm playin' ADC
Because my deaths are high, kills are low, say goodbye, E-L-O
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me


Mama, just died again
Put a mark upon my head
Pulled the trigger, now I'm dead
Mama, the game had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry
If I've not logged again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters


Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and git guuuuuuud
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never queue'd up at all


I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scarra-mouche, Scarra-mouche, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, mid-lane's very fright'ning me
(Galio-o) Galio-o, (Galio-o) Galio-o, Galio-o figaro magnifico
(I'm just a Koggy, nobody loves me)
He's just a Koggy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Blitz-millah! Noooooo, we will not let you go
(Let him go) Blitz-millah! We will not let you go
(Let him go) Blitz-millah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mamma mia, mamma mia) Mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me


So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can boost me and leave me to die?
Oh, e-baby, can't do this to me, e-baby!
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here!
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind(wall) blows

Thing about League is it's hard to quit because not many games can really match.

Smite is fun and all, but not really a game that you can get into competitively.

Heroes is just trash.

Dota 2 isn't fun from what I've played.


I remember once I quit for a week and came back.
 
I think at some point you put in so much time into league that you can't quit. But then you quit and realize theres so many other games to play~

It was hard for me to quit. But I did it. Now I just critically commentate on new characters and patch changes.

I wish a good new MMORPG would come out. Haven't found a good one since I started playing WoW in like 2006, but WoW's garbage now. Archeage had potential to be decent but they made it P2W.
 

You know newt, if you had a critical mind, you'd be able to look at a patch and be able to analyse it without playing the game, too ^^

After all, when I said Camilles heal could be cut down/removed, lo and behold they eventually do cut it down by removing the minion component of her heal.
 
*Shrug*

I call em how I see em competitive or not. Still the most overloaded kit released this year so far~

edit-last year. The years are blending together, oh boy.

Played jungle Tahm again after reviewing my somewhat disappointing last match. (even though we won and I did ok). Made some solid adjustments, remembered some finer points of jungling with Tahm, ended up going 9/1/12, 79% kill participation, saved at least 5 deaths on my team, dominated dragon control, all against a strong meta jungler (kha'zix).

And it's only going to get better as other meta junglers get nerfed. Goddamn I love jungle Tahm.
 
Whew, the Leblanc v Yasuo match up is hilariously bad for Leblanc now that she doesn't have W for reliable damage. The Yasuo player needs severe brain damage to die to her in lane.

midseason details: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.c...qAK8-midseason-durability-goals-and-direction

tldr:
- mr/lvl for everyone
- most tank items rebalanced to be less overall useful, so sunfire cape gives more armor and less hp, etc.
- bigger importance given to unique effects, dmp slow now doesn't decay and takes less stacks to charge up but falls off faster
- new items, like a mr/armor thing that has bad stats that get doubled when near multiple champions
- old items reworked, ga is being turned into a carry item

sounds ok, kind of worried what mr/lvl means for mids since that's basically buffing all ad champions for free. it's probably not gonna be a big deal but hopefully it won't mess things up much

you should be ok just using the w defensively and poking him out with q's and autos. q mana cost barely goes up with levels so u can just hammer q's and autos on his butt

it's maybe a better matchup than before since u used to max w before so a great deal of your damage required you to go into melee range of him, tho don't quote me on that

I specially love this part

New Defensive Items

In addition to changing some existing items’ effects in the shop, we’re also looking to add a couple new ones. These primarily aim to add a few options that tanks can opt into to protect themselves against common threats they need to deal with. As an example, we’ll be putting a new Armor/MR item on the PBE that is statistically very inefficient, but doubles its Armor/MR when around enemy champions. This positions it as a great choice when you know you need to get in the middle of the enemy team regularly, but not so attractive if splitpushing is a core part of your strategy.

The mr/level seems really small, as in around 0.5mr/level. It shouldn't be a big deal, but sorc shoes + haunting guise champions won't deal true damage to squishies as easily.
 
It's about time Riot did a pass on HP/Resistances. Someone with a Sheen, a Tabi and a Cowl should not be a fucking tank. Also GA being a carry time is amazing as well, get fucked Maokai.

Also seems like we're getting an AD+AR item again.

.5 MR per level is basically a free Aegis for every ranged champion, that's really good

It's gonna be less than that for most of the game since adcs/supports won't get high level most of the time, but it's still free good for every ranegd champion.

Just played the match up again. Even after getting first blood I found it really hard to do anything to him. I feel like he just pushes me in constantly and I end up having to use my Q to farm under turret. Also Leblanc is really E reliant now more than ever and Yasuo has too many ways to outplay it.

I still ended up getting really fed and doing things. Here's a funny highlight I thought you would enjoy <3
