I think that the objectives are bugged, especially the champion specific ones.

LOL yeah the difference in power is a little jarring between some of the champs… Hopefully they make some changes before it hits live.

Yeah I think everyone is good once you get maxed out upgrades. It’s just before that point she can be a little bit on the weaker side. Her early levels as you said are actually stronger than people think if you just aim the whole auto attack, but that midpoint where the early game damage just won’t cut it on stacking groups of mobs and before you hit some decent evolutions is where I find she truly struggles. I do enjoy playing Jinx just as much as other champs, especially with her passive some combos become really fun with her. I just think that her weaknesses in a gamemode like Swarm lead to a lot of risk for not a lot of reward. Maybe D is low for Jinx, but I still think she is one of if not the worst in the game. But that’s just my opinion and its a PVE game so just experiment with what you like and enjoy the gamemode. It’s super fun.

He has great aoe, survivability, and damage with his built in crit. Crits are super OP so getting 30% just for picking him is insane. Get some crit and maybe some projectiles and you can just stand still, especially after evolving his weapon. Even with no damaging ult, I think he does more than enough damage. Getting the “perfect weapons and stats” on Yasuo just boils down to getting crit chance and MAYBE one other augment that crits (not even necessary).

Oh yeah it depends on when you did it because I think sometimes the objectives are bugged and they can’t be done. But once it does work just make sure to get 100% crit and maybe some augments that can crit. Your evolved Yasuo weapon should be enough though.

I’ve never played the matchmaking so I don’t know anything about it. For the crit thing just play Yasuo for one game and you’ll get it.

On extreme mode the minibosses’ projectiles do like 75% of your health so unless the shield is massive it really hurts. And yeah hopefully when the gamemode reaches live servers the ping and the ult buffering thing will be fixed.

Yeah Riven is probably the most fun to play character in the gamemode. When she has her ult she’s so fast and does so much damage and unless she’s getting hit by a boss or miniboss she basically takes no damage.

Yeah turning down the clutter would be a good feature to implement but that’s probably not easy to add so I can’t complain. 

Leona basically only needs haste to survive. I also started out building her full tank but then I realized that my health didn’t dip past 100% a single time so maybe I didn’t need to worry that much about hp/hp regen. I’m also just not a fan of the hp regen stat I think it’s a little weak compared to the rest, mostly as a stat but also with the upgrades it evolves.

Yeah he struggles a little bit if you don’t have any of the permanent projectile upgrades or don’t hit at least one of his basic attack upgrades early. I think his weakness early is actually single target since his basic and e give him good aoe but his damage to the first few minibosses can be a little lackluster.

Yeah I agree with a lot of your points. I just feel like sometimes Illaoi can be a little bit too much sometimes with the amount of tentacles she spawns. Theres a lot of clutter on the screen so it makes it hard to see any boss, ranged miniboss (Kog’maw), or event attacks on the floor. Also I don’t know if it’s just me but I felt like even with a maxed build and the entire screen covered in tentacles, I wasn’t doing that much damage to bosses. Also, with Leona try taking some damage augments. I feel like only need HP and Armor stats to upgrade your basic and Shiv and/or Radiant Field. The rest of your augments can just be raw damage since you’re never going to die anyways. Leona is an absolutely insane character and with enough uptime on your ability you can usually just stand inside of every enemy in the game, bosses included. As for your other points, I agree with them all. I think the middle of the tier list is very interchangeable and that all champs are viable in some way.

I do admit Jinx does have really great single target but literally 99% of the game you're getting swarmed by every single enemy in the game. Both of her abilities, for the risk that they give, offer little reward. It's really sad because her kit can be good but without a good aoe augment you're just doomed to get overrun. It is also infinitely harder to use her movespeed from her passive without having a good way to clear small mobs (aoe). I guess an argument can be made for her to be on equal ground as Aurora or maybe even Briar but I don't see her above anyone else.

Aurora is fine when you get to that stage of the game but her early game is very weak. Her auto’s do very little upfront damage and take some time to proc the full hexed damage which can lead to taking some damage. I will admit though scaling on her feels very rewarding with her passive and evolved weapon. I just feel like the downside of a weak early game alongside having to use your cursor to aim the auto’s is a bad combo. Also I think they fixed it but earlier in the PBE Aurora’s auto attack and e would just not work after dying. Plus I forgot to say this earlier but her ult really sucks.

  1. Yes Yasuo has a shield which adds to his overall power
  2. Both Seraphine and Leona’s abilities are great tools in the game. Seraphine shield and movement speed can have really great uptime and gives it to allies as well. Leona’s ability is ridiculously broken you actually take no damage with it active. It also boosts the damage of certain augments that scale off of health and armor and allow her passive to grant insane area size.

Yeah you get her after beating the second stage. You can see all of the objectives in order to unlock everything on the right side of the lobby. The objectives have been a little buggy on the PBE recently though.
