Reign of Gaming

I feel something big coming for Udyr. Legendary skin or even VU (his classic skin honestly looks terrible.. the only thing that makes it O.K. is his primal skin) ?

Kassadin is overpowered. He scales way too well into lategame even if he gets shutdown in lane. He's the Jaxrelia of midlane, not to mention he's about as stupid to play as those two.

They recently stated that they purposely wait before buffing back champions, but if they really were overnerfed (i.e. rengar/djana), they try to bring them back into viability.

Even without a nerf Olaf wouldn't be that strong anymore as of now tbh. BOTRK, nerfs to sunfire/warmogs.. his nerfs weren't really needed in the end. They Gragas'd him.

You have nice ideas, but I think people are a bit too focused on items and champions being FOTM.

When a game gets really popular, some people start to theorycraft and use the best items/champions, it also happened in WoW, 90% of  the time a holy paladin would get X trinket rather than Y, simply because it synergizes better with the role/class.

Sunfire is better than Mallet on Renekton not only because of the cost effectiveness which I agree should be reduced, but also because Sunfire + Renekton's R deal insane amount of "passive" magic damage.

Yeah.. Rylais+Liandrys Rumble is honestly broken. This article almost made me wonder if building it on Gragas could not be interesting, but I doubt that :/

in before someone says crit on atma is good because garen and gangplank can somewhat make use of it

There's that problem too, most bruisers don't have that 1 damage item wonder that would make them relevant damage wise for the whole game. Some people would argue such an item would be overpowered but it would be worth building.

I personally often build Brutalizer on champions such as Xin Zhao or Jarvan IV when I'm snowballing early game but I never upgrade it into Youmuu's/BC, because I need to spend my gold on defensive stats and there is nothing cheap enough that would relaly make a difference in my damage output.

Kinda hard to explain my train of thoughts in English as it isnt my native language, but I hope you get what I'm saying.

A viable version of Atma would be cool and maybe at that point it'd be worth building damage, who knows.

Lee has always been very overrated but I agree that he lost a lot a power since the last nerfs.

Lee Sin was about abusing that chaos you can easily find in solo queue to wreck early game and snowball off of that, but they just nerfed his early severely. I just played against a Lee Sin taht snowballed every lane, yet he still lost, because he's really weak late.

Very interesting post, especially the J4 part - he's sort of my main, so I always look for what Stonewall has to say about him.

I was considering getting a 2nd rank in Q early so my lvl 3 gank would be even more brutal than it already is, but I never really considered flat out maxing Q first in the jungle. Will try it out for sure. I'm also wondering if the Elder Lizard wouldn't be a decent item on J4 actually, kinda like the fotm Vi build that gets Elder Lizard + Brutalizer and then focuses on getting tanky.
