PBE Notes

[quote=OTGBionicArm][quote=SpawnOfHell] Idk why Riot was so afraid of changing his feel. Their reasoning for [[xerath]] was that his kit was "boring and OP". Was it fun for [[skarner]] players to mash Q, have a shitty shield and an ability most of them didn't even rank? What part of [[skarner]]'s boring, undefining kit were they trying to preserve? FFS one of the only two thing that stood out in [[skarner]]'s kit at all they deleted. [/quote] Yea his kit is archaic and leads to little decision making other than "Who do I Impale?"[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender]I loved spamming Q on skarner :([/quote]

[quote=SpawnOfHell]You still do that. You just get to feel like sh*t while doing it now. Yay. As least you get a skillshot with awful travel speed and width which I could dodge at 300 ping to compensate. Yay! I never thought Riot would make [[hecarim]]'s sh*tty little brother.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm][[hecarim]] still feels strong. Won a game as him today. the Q spam is real. Anyone else think it's funny that Skarner's new Q is even worse because he cant even utilize the AS during his ult, which is like... his thing?[/quote]

[quote=SpawnOfHell]Riot was so lazy with [[skarner]] that they didn't even remove the ramp up on his Q even though it serves no purpose now... lol. I did not mean to imply [[hecarim]] was weak, I play him as one of my comfort junglers (though I think he's completely banking on Spirit sustain right now, if that gets nerfed he's boned) but hilariously I picked up new [[skarner]] for a bit and thought 'oh this isn't so bad' then I realized I could do nearly anything he did with [[hecarim]] while also feeling useful. I can even do a pseudo-[[impale]] against the enemy team with the terrify CC lol.[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]Yea not to mention, even though both their speed boosts have to ramp up, [[hecarim]] doesn't feel like he's moving slower than the line at the DMV. Poor [[Skarner]].[/quote]

[quote=SkidmarkD]Just found this thread. LoL. Some changes made me go: Ok, that's nice. Some changes made me go: WTF RIOT??? ARE YOU MENTALLY CHALLENGED? Think the Wardens Mail change is gonna hurt me the most. :D Liked being able to get a cloth armor now, then another later, then finish the item. Now I'm prolly gonna waste the gold and then go: sigh, wish I had more armor. The dragon changes.... way to screw champs that need the selfheals to solo dragon early on. Well we'll see how it turns out. Also: They gave [[Thresh]] 4 armor at start now? Thort he had 0 armor. But notes said all champs except [[Gragas]] and [[Ziggs]] get 4 base armor added....[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Actually, WW can still solo the dragen pretty easy, especially with the new [[wriggle's lantern]].[/quote]

[quote=utopus]Meh, the healing reduction is still going to really make it difficult imo[/quote]

[quote=SkidmarkD]Will have to see how it plays out with Xin. I know the AS reduction hurts a lot, but now that it's gonna be removed, wonder if I can still solo. Might even run him with AS runes, muhahahahahaha[/quote]
