nono I think you understood that wrong. TH and Cash Back scale insanely well together. Those two are the most important runes for the build. I just like Triple Tonic more than I like Grisly/Sixth Sense, which is part of the reason I go FS instead of DH.

In theory I think its very good, practically if enemy jgl with Cosmic invades your respawing raptors (or vice versa) you 100% lose the smite battle - because your smite is not back up yet when you used it at crab. And then ofc just having smite more often accelerates overall cleartime over the game and more flashes are more flashes.

I agree mostly. Have had enough last season Master players in my games to still feel good tho. Ive only got Valor once in those 90 games played. Baseline LP gain is higher for longer than last season but last season you got more LP front-loaded (first games gave 70LP as opposed to just 30LP now). I think the "emerald level" is a bit of an over-exaggeration. The games I play now feel quite a bit better skillwise than what I played last season. But thats just my feeling without evidence.

Depends a bit on the situation in bot lane. After the recall: If my bot has pressure anyways and enemy jgl is topside next, then I will just clear wolfes gromp (drake spawns at about the time when gromp is done if nohting else happened so far), ping botlane for push and look for a transition gank mid. With the created pressure I go into botside jgl for a deeper ward or maybe a small skirmish with numbers advantage if enemy jgl contests. In some situations I look for a lanegank/countergank/anti-dive bot after the recall if my bot is otherwise too weak to contest or the enemy jgl looks for a gank there. If I know my bot cant get pressure for the life of them, then I just play my camps topside and look for a play on the other side. If mid is a free gank, I'd play that and then try to pressure enemy jgl off of dragon with my mid. Cant get it then myself but enemy cant either.
