[quote=IShouldGetALife]Dammit I want to buy him but I don't have the IP or even RP currently[/quote]

[quote=Satella][[Blood Price]] is basically a crit that can also crit. Will be interesting to see first-hand how he performs in lane and in the jungle.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]wait, 200 fucking bonus damage at max? ridiculous.[/quote]

[quote=IShouldGetALife]and the health cost will be nothing with the inevitable lifesteal items. So much carry killing potential[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Seems like a better tank killer imo. High base damage, rushes Bork most the time, add LW and his ult's %health damage. Mmmm dead fat people.[/quote]

[quote=A Chubby Baby]Me like.[/quote]

[quote=IShouldGetALife]@ OTG I suppose thats true as well but why not both? jump on the carry and eviscerate tehm then do the same to tanks.[/quote]

[quote=Bioalchemist]seems pretty beast...especially with some items....weaker early game but goodness...with all that life steal...seems kinda op. guess we will see. most likely he will be banned often. neat kit for sure though.[/quote]

[quote=rudyards]Honestly, Riot needs to learn how to goddamn balance. They made all the same mistakes with Aatrox as they made with Irelia, as well as giving him a free GA and reliable escape. There was a moment in the spotlight where Phreak says that "They don't focus me, since I'm hard to kill. But I do enough damage that I pick up an easy triple kill." That's shit design, especially because he doesn't seem to play well in the fight or anything.[/quote]
