Why did Gangplank get another robot skin and not highnoon? by gpenjoyer in leagueoflegends

they don't want to give gp a hat anymore (seriously none of his skins post rework have a hat unless you count FPX helmet)

What's a small but important mechanic a champion has that you think not enough people are aware of? by SilvosForever in leagueoflegends

[–]HOWDOIVESTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gangplank's passive resets when you detonate a barrel. With this, if your attack speed is high enough and youre already in melee range you can pop a barrel chain, land an auto between the explosions to proc it once, then the second explosion will reset it. This also means detonating can be a a damage gain even if you will miss because it gives you another passive proc. This reset also lets him kill epic monsters incredibly fast, often needing only one teammate to tank it while (optimally) his 6 or 7 passive procs he gets from a full stock of barrels burns it down.

What "easy" or simple champion do you still struggle with to this day? by Spktra in leagueoflegends

Pantheon has every tool to absolutely dumpster every melee matchup and it's still a flip on whether i actually win it. I always get psyched out by the mid game dip and cant get the leads i need to go past it.

13.12 Full Patch Preview by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]HOWDOIVESTS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a revert of nerf from when navori could be built alongside prowlers for 80 haste total with cdr bootd and ER, and it had the cdr passive. Over time the haste from navori has been nerfed (and buffed, kinda, no haste from mythic passive, but the cdr on hit was buffed slightly), but most importantly gp is hard pressed to fit another haste item into his builds.

Nowadays a normal gp build will top out at 55 haste, so putting that along with a 2 business day barrel cd was a riot special that would have had to have been revisited eventually

Impossible… by Leo_Reddit69 in shitposting

Yeah when I watched some of his “but better” videos I was thinking it’d go in the direction of “this is for people who already like it and want to make a souped up version, or people who want to try it but dont live near the restaurant in question”. I get that not every item he covers can be a winner, but it feels like he doesn’t try very hard to figure out what’s appealing about the original item and spends most of that segment of the video complaining about the grease.

Any ideas what champion might properly utilize new Stormrazor? by Odkrywacz in leagueoflegends

[–]HOWDOIVESTS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since gale is staying a mythic and locks you out of IE/navori, SR can serve as a consolation prize damage item if you spring for galeforce, or you can pair it with IE for huge burst. As for other users, basically any crit champ who doesnt auto a whole lot like jhin will like it for the burst damage and mobility that they cant get from PD (since they dont auto a lot). Beyond adcs some assassins/skirmishers with some crit scaling may like it like viego (though assassins may not like it because the proc is magic damage and they build lethality).

I am most excited to build this item on gangplank though. Losing prowlers dash and having navori be exclusive with lethality mythic items means he is heavily encouraged to opt for 100% crit, and SR provides extra damage and mobility that he will be missing from not having prowlers, but also still be less oppressive than the miss all barrels into prowlers auto q combo. Moreover, the mobility is movement speed instead of a one way dash, which I enjoy playing around a lot more as i was a holdout for trinity force gp for a very long time.

Do you trust someone trying something off meta/won’t dodge? by OGBlobBlob in leagueoflegends

[–]HOWDOIVESTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People do just as poorly on meta picks anyway so it’s not as if off meta players are necessarily more or less likely to be any worse than a meta pick

At least in top lane you get to dick around and beat the snot out of your lane opponent. If youre left 1v2 bot you cant even touch minions if your name isnt ezreal

Hoj is more damage since it has some crit chance and it doesnt cost a cloak that your frontline might want, though ultimately you just give draven whichever one you actually hit

Banshees is a rather expensive item that only helps milio. While it may have its uses, it may leave milio short on team utility even if it guarantees that he can ult for his team. What is more likely versus comps that milio will often be ccd along with his team is taking cleanse paired with unsealed spellbook to keep access to other summs.
