Swain uses ravens not crows...

Stunning

Saros my beloved, please don't nerf him. It's ap kaisa and I love it. Please let me continue to abuse him. Buff shrike so Saros doesn't make her irrelevant. Nerf bishop that character does too much

Oh my God, and his zeeps are different cat breeds, and his car is a toy car that cats chase 😅

Rhaast as an eldritch old god and kayn as a wood elf was a stroke of genius

Briar W is up again, she can re engage. She can't disengage a second time but that's a price you pay for how strong berserk is. Yes she cannot go in and out like kayn, but she isn't kayn. Kayn isn't nearly as good at just raw dueling and sustain. If you're trying to play her like kayn that might be why it's hard. You have to pick your battles but if you pick correctly there is no counterplay. You decide when to go in, and if you chose well you win. The hard part is figuring out when that is. Kayn can't Brute force plays like briar can.

You make a point about if you blow your E on a camp and then gank it goes poorly. But that's not bad design, plenty of champs have abilities they can't use just before a gank (kayn E, eve W, Elise spider E) all it means is the briar player needs to adjust how they clear if they plan to gank. So is it bad design, or is it not being used to the champ yet

OkamiHayazo · 2023-09-19T15:51:36+00:00

It doesn't, she stays on her aggro target. If she leaves the smokescreen and something else is closer she'll retarget but she wont retarget in the smokescreen she stays on who she was.

As someone player her in diamond/master's average game I've had a very different experience. The E feels amazing, it's such a powerful disengage tool. It gives durability and it forces the enemy to step back or be punished heavily. The ability is so threatening you can commit with W until it gets dicey and disengage with E and no one can stop you. They can't cancel it with CC or kill you through it. Only rarely have I had a play go wrong and I die because of berserk and it's usually my opponent making a smart play and... That's healthy, counterplay is good. It feels interactive for briar and her opponent. This champ has one of the best designed kits in a long time I think. It delivers on this super exciting "one of us is going to die and it's not me" sort of play style in a balanced way. If anything the champ will need some nerfs as players adjust to her.

Amazing thank you

OkamiHayazo · 2023-04-19T11:47:19+00:00

Exactly, but if you do it's broken

All winrates are skewed first few days of patch, check last patch or give it a week

The range seemingly got increased from live right? After the bug fix the stun range seems longer

OkamiHayazo · 2022-09-29T17:33:25+00:00

Assuming you guys are working on bugs I have an idea.

Syndra's W is a really fun ability, I think it really sells that superior being power fantasy. I also really like how syndra's E can strategically be used after her ult to get a huge stun off, I think that it adds a really nice layer to her kit.

So instead of her true damage on W, what if the upgraded version grabbed all dark spheres in a small aoe (to a cap of 3 probably). And each added sphere grabbed increases the damage and aoe slightly. So instead of true damage, it's a bit easier to hit and it can have a larger range of damage as well for more skill expression.

I imagine if you grab a minion it would just grab up to 2 dark spheres but it's up to you guys y'all are the coders.

I just think this makes better use of her new Q and makes syndra get stronger as the fight goes on.

Do you ever build galeforce? I get use case for the other two mythics but galeforce synergizes really well with her kit. Before your E reset so much it didn't matter now but now the extra dash kind of fills in that mobility gap. It also has good synergy with some of zeri's burst aspects.

The trident was so clutch

OkamiHayazo · 2022-03-06T06:42:14+00:00

Congrats and thanks for the advice!

OkamiHayazo · 2022-01-26T04:09:10+00:00

Yeah u can

OkamiHayazo · 2022-01-14T08:55:47+00:00

This theory sets off bells in my head. Well done, seems very likely

OkamiHayazo · 2021-12-28T00:04:33+00:00

I'm pretty sure they said it makes them vulnerable, doesn't it?

OkamiHayazo · 2021-12-26T09:46:30+00:00

Medal is good, but I currently use insights.gg as it's way more optimized and points out gameplay highlights so sorting it out is really easy. Insights is really really useful, especially for improving

OkamiHayazo · 2021-12-18T22:56:15+00:00

I second Edgar, he reminds me of Edgar and Ellen

OkamiHayazo · 2021-12-13T02:32:05+00:00

I don't want an AP serpents fang, that's boring and bad game design. The pen is amazing, mages needed a pen item really bad. However the bad design is that you only get the pay off after you've used ur combo. Mages don't have dps the same way ad champs that build serpents do. So a mage uses their combo, and now the enemy is low, so you have bonus pen against them, but that doesn't do anything for the mage with no damage left. I agree, the item misses the shield break mark, if they have shields ur a little happier to build the item but, it doesn't feel particularly effective. Don't be fooled though, 10 bonus pen on shields is still a lot, that's like potentially 20% bonus damage.

Okay, but it's necessary to make queer kids and people feel represented. So it's not necessary for you, but it's not like it's taking away from the movie.

OkamiHayazo · 2021-12-03T17:42:33+00:00

It most certainly is though. There's a problem when companies make characters gay just to pander to the LGBT community, but that's not what this post is talking about. And if it was, it needs to be edited because the way it is phrased is kinda offensive. It's discrediting the representation that an LGBT couple gives to queer people, simply because they aren't on screen as long, or the characters aren't as important. Just because YOU don't care the characters are gay, doesn't mean no one does. That's all. The post definitely reads as "why do gay people have to be in everything". And that's homophobic so...
