like yeah he's kinda fun but when i actually fight with him its like, oh i did two shots which didn't really do that much damage. I can't kite either with him. Meanwhile i got a trist that does as much damage as me and she doesn't have to wait 2 secs like me to reload after 2 aa's and just in general fucks everything up jumping around and shit. And during those two seconds i really don't do anything and walk around like a dipshit, using my E just to get another bullet into the fight, which half the time ends up with me getting caught out if im not extremely careful and i can't really execute targets that well if my both my shots and my Q doesn't kill the person im trying to kill. The Q is super weird to use and half the time it feels like it misses it target or it simply doesnt do damage. Ult is alright tho, but something feels off with that as well. p. sure its just me thats bad, but like i cant really see how he can be good except if he gets really fed early by some miracle, which arguably all champions will be if they get fed.

[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbXgUpeTHsI[/media] Her face bothers me

I'm not sure what their deal is with trist's new splashes, the face always looks off.

the skin itself is amazing i dont understand how they continue to fuck up her face in the splashes

That song though

the only thing wrong with her face is her mouth

She looks like female Gnar

what do you guys think about trundle masteries with the new shit

His Ult can also set you up for a clutch Q (which pretty much does more damage then the ult) He has the most burst out of any AD, so you gotta play him like a backline assassin. Build IE, ER, SS, RFC, YGB, and White Boots with Alacrity/Furor (you need movespeed to position yourself during a reload, 25% attack speed boots are utterly useless) ^ That build gives you 100% crit, leaving you with 10 bullets every shot. Late game that means your autos will do around 300-400% of your Max AD, which is around 300-375. Pretty crazy shit.

isn't it 12 with IE

I fought against a Graves and he was doing more damage on my 322 armor than AP mages were doing on my 90 MR, everytime I thought I was done building armor and could finally jump on a bit of MR, Graves proved me wrong by shitting all over my 322 armor.

Had 4.5k health :(

you need at least 5 point 5 fucking k health

The most dangerous thing about playing as Graves is the immense amount of time between reloads that can't be compensated for due to attack speed increasing the time between his attacks drastically. Catching Graves out here in an open area with no direct way to cast Q will fuck him up hard. Graves's combat potential lies within carefully dodging around enemies and getting close enough to land all shots. Quickdraw's armor/mr buff is dangerous for elongated skirmishes, but can be cast down quickly if fighting in the jungle/disengaging.

Wait so how does ranked play in preseason work? Does it change your MMR in win/losses, but not touching upon your LP?

[QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;49109180]Wait so how does ranked play in preseason work? Does it change your MMR in win/losses, but not touching upon your LP?[/QUOTE] Yeah but there is a soft reset at the start of the season so its not that big a deal if you do well or not. Instead just try as many things and find what works now

[QUOTE=OceanGovernor;49109211]Yeah but there is a soft reset at the start of the season so its not that big a deal if you do well or not. Instead just try as many things and find what works now[/QUOTE] What's the soft reset?

Basically you can play Ranked and whatnot but it won't matter towards anything like it did before (borders, skins, etc.). Once the real season starts everyone gets put back to square one.

No, that would be a hard reset if that was the case. They call it a soft reset because not everyone gets put back to square one, they just get put back a few squares from where they are now/will be in pre-season if they keep playing ranked.

[QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;49109425]What's the soft reset?[/QUOTE] I think its just (your elo+1200)/2

So playing ranked in preseason will give me a better chance at higher placements? Or am I thinking wrong?

[QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;49110426]So playing ranked in preseason will give me a better chance at higher placements? Or am I thinking wrong?[/QUOTE] Well the highest placements will put you is at is plat 1 even if you win all 10 unless they change it for season 6

[QUOTE=OceanGovernor;49110494]Well the highest placements will put you is at is plat 1 even if you win all 10 unless they change it for season 6[/QUOTE] Still an improvement from my measly plat 5

teemo seems to do weirdly well in this season for some reason
