Dammit, that's what I thought up in the shower this morning.

I can see why he's 6300 because then he will cost more Riot points. :) Riot does have to make money after all. I really want to play him but can't drop the cash / IP! :( I guess I will just wait till he's free like I usually do. :D
Thanks to Minho for my sig!

He will cost 975 RP no matter how much IP he costs. Every released champ (with the exception of Poppy) has costed 975 RP. Chances are, they tried releasing Poppy (being the 3rd released champ) and made so little money off of her that they just gave up creating cheap champions. Anyways, 3150 or 6300 the next champion will still cost 975 RP. The profit they make is off the people that can't quite make 6300 IP in the time that their willpower cracks and they pay in RP.

I have Renekton. Personally I feel like Ghost+Frozen Mallet is an absolute must on him no matter what style you're playing. Trinity Force is possible too as the burst on his W would just be insane.

He's really good if you play him right. It seems like he'd be amazing in both solo and dual lanes. That stun is just fantastic.

A skilling order I've come up with ranks Q and W relatively evenly. I tried maxing W first, and you have tons of damage, but you don't have the utility from your Q to farm minion waves and regain your health. So that didn't really work. I tried maxing Q first, but killing champions wasn't reliable enough.

Here are some rough base stats for skills:

Cull the Meek
CD: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds
Base damage is 40 at rank 1 increasing to around 150 at rank 5, I forget. It seems to scale off of 60% of your bonus attack damage.

Ruthless Predator
CD: 14/13/12/11/10 seconds
Damage is 10+150% of your attack damage (can't remember if it's base or total), becoming 15+225% on a Furious hit. At rank 5, it becomes 90+150% and 135+225% respectively. This is your rape face skill.

Slice and Dice
CD: 20/19/18/17/16 or 20/18/16/14/12, honestly, I forgot to check
Damage is 45/75/105/135/165 from ranks 1 to 5 on both Slice and Dice. Furious Dices are around 33% more powerful, if I recall correctly.

Anyway, the point is that your Q has the worst scaling of all of your skills. However, it's useful for minion farm and especially for healing up. I don't know if its worth it to get any points in it early on for the damage, as most of your damage comes from Ruthless Predator.

Burst damage is a must here. Triforce should be great on this guy. A simple Slice+Furious Ruthless Predator+Autoattack+Cull the Meek+Dice out combo deals a TON of damage.

One thing to note is that all the hits from Ruthless Predator proc on-hit effects. This sounds awesome, seeing as it can hit up to three times, but it's really not that practical. I tried a build where you get Bloodrazor, and it just didn't compare with the damage of a normal DPS build. The proc does become INCREDIBLY useful for getting that speed-lowering proc off of Phage/Trinity Force, as each hit has a 25% chance to slow. With one Furious Ruthless Predator, that's a 57.8% chance to slow.

Releasing constantly champions for 6300 is not "new ppl" friendly. It is ok for those guys that play this game for a year or sth, coz they spend money on that only, but giving new champs over and over again on 6300 is realy ******ed. Jump on ca$$$$$h.

I dont mind micro-payment method, i even supported riot with 2x RP purchase. But srsly....
Did i help you? Click that +Rep
