Looks like it could be more viable as a first item on some champions now.[/QUOTE]this is actually pretty great. i build it first on kog and my initial reaction was boo less attack speed, however the extra damage would be totally fine by me as by the time i get bork i have a couple points in q anyway.

Heimerdinger's kinda fun. Just played against Udyr and got fed. He engages at one point and then gets killed before Skarner even walks into lane, easiest double kill ever.

[QUOTE=Kyklis;51798171]Agreed, the early game definitely takes a hit, but at this level it's crazy rare to actually be punished for it. You're right of course, as I get higher this will undoubtedly quit working. The smarter build would be AD/lethality reds, and for items...GB and Edge of night first and not getting ER or PD, right?[/QUOTE] You can copy that page I posted above for runes, I probably will to be honest. Items should be GB into Edge of Night, then IE/RFC combo - whichever order is necessary - with a LW item somewhere in there, probably 4th or 5th item, and CDR boots. Typically you want IE before RFC, but RFC before IE is good if you need to worry about getting picked even with Edge of Night available. ER is only really good on Sivir and Ashe nowadays, because Sivir needs the mana and Ashe wants the CDR for ult and Hawkshot. Before you picked up ER on Jhin because you went full or nearly full crit build for the CDR on ult to just constantly set up picks for your team, but now that lethality is really good you want to get GB and EoN 100%. Duskblade is fine against full squishies, you won't need the LW anyway.

You guys discussing Jhin builds reminds me. Which other build should I try? My usual set is usually Essence Reaver,Rapidfire, Infinity Edge, Dominik, boots and Yommu.

Right now, GB > IE > RFC seems to be working well. Switch up the order of RFC and IE if you're ahead early. After that generally you're gonna want Dominik/Mortal Reminder, and IMO right now it's between ER and Edge of Night. If you go ER and the game goes very late, sell your boots for PD. 100% crit is very strong and gives you reliable movement speed. Basically ER is if you want the consistent crits. Edge of Night is the safer item, but ER is going to end up doing more damage. Also obviously you'll want Edge of Night if you're having problems avoiding important abilities, or there's some wombo combo you're facing bot.

[editline]11th February 2017[/editline] also the pbe changes for control wards is going to be a huge buff for teemo. right now you can just flick your sweeper on and run straight through his mushies.

Damn they nerfed leblanc pretty hard. She didn't feel very good to play late game since they changed her, now her early game is getting shat on.

Nvm she's still super oppressive early game

[QUOTE=3picFail;51807583]Nvm she's still super oppressive early game[/QUOTE] Yeah that's exactly why they're trying to hit her waveclear, but you basically have to shit over her passive or Q damage on minion. She's such a God awful champion to balance. I think they should double down on the assassin playstyle, nerf the chain length and push most of her damage into her Q and passive. Either shit on her waveclear or clip her dash cooldown significantly so she actually gets punished for roams by champions like Ziggs and Lux instead of just roaming for free. [editline]11th February 2017[/editline] Honestly most of the assassins have too much waveclear in their kits and only balanced off it from their numbers. I don't know how Talon/Zed feel right now on that front, but LB is definitely overtuned towards her mage half.

Does anyone have any tips for Ashe? I started playing with her since I got her Project skin but I'm definitely doing things wrong. I got embarassingly far behind both games I played. I can't seem to do damage with her and I don't know when to use her Q. honestly any tip that could help me play better with her is appreciated.

Off-tank on-hit Teemo is the current meta build because AP is widely regarded as trash and on-hit got hit really hard by the fervor change. Personally I'd rather just build full AP, but I'm in gold where only like 2-3 people in a match understand the concept of sweepers, and they don't use them for shit.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/LiLYfsb.jpg[/img] Not a bad skin reroll for costing me absolutely nothing.

Meanwhile, my last skin re-roll got me TPA Orianna, an ugly skin for a champion I don't own, nor is it particularly high on my priority list.

Use your w when you can hit both the adc and the support, or when you can get multiple last hits on minions. Stacking your auto attacks with your w makes for excellent poke. I only tend to use her q when the support or whoever lands some form of cc, or if I think they're going to attempt to land cc. I don't use q to farm just because its nice to have the extra slow available to lock down opponents or kite away from a gank. My preffered build order is bf sword then runnaans, then build the bf sword into essence reaver. After essence reaver usually bloodthirster, then rapidfire cannon or infinity edge. Build berserker boots whenever you can but I usually try to finish runaans first. Since she is super immobile you kinda have to learn how to use her slows to position and poke, and once you get used to it you can position rather aggressively if you want. I watched C9 sneaky play ashe a bunch when I started playing her you should check him out on youtube. As for falling behind you just gotta make sure you don't get poked out of lane often, or run out of mana quickly. Its kinda hard with so many mages as supports, so your best bet is to play safe until you can build your bf sword. Try to keep you mana and health above 50%, and try not to back until you have enough for your bf sword. If your health and mana stay above 50% when you level up you'll have most of your health plus whatever you regain from your dorans blade.

That's why he is [B]D GOD[/B]. Also, TRM inspired tankmo is some fun stuff, but I love some surprise burst on the squishiest while they don't understand how I am so tanky. Plus, Mallet is just a core item on this piece of shit to see someone desperately try and run away from you and I can just spam my mastery emote as I auto them down :^) [editline]12th February 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=GentlemanLexi;51810089]all I did was call him a stinky whenever he flamed his teammates[/QUOTE] Fair warning, if you receive enough reports from this you can end up chat restricted/banned. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/DKQgy8N.png"]Riot doesn't take into account any context when they receive reports[/URL]. ([URL="http://i.imgur.com/i1IoVwJ.png"]Here's another quote from Riot about being toxic[/URL]). It's really fucking stupid I know, but you gotta value your account over triggering people (if you care). Some people escape the radar obviously, but if they get as pissed as you say your reports might actually take action one day. :v:
