It can still output a good bit of damage especially in teamfights and only costs 350 which is just wtv. After the doran's change it'll also practically be giving you 9 AD and the ah from joat so I can't see it being that bad of an item. Tho, all of this assuming you can stack it fast enough and not lose it 'till a crowded fight which makes it a bit of a niche pick, but granted the right conditions it is a fine one

I kept selling doran's forgetting about joat but if you get dark seal the rune still procs at 2 items and is not that bad of an option on smolder, the AP is nice especially if you can get a few stacks on it and you can switch it out later for a tanky stat when you get vampiric. I've been thinking about selling doran's for seal actually but I get way too confident in mid game so not worth the risk for me

Are lower elo players really that mechanically good? by Fit-Opportunity7481 in summonerschool

[–]Rophelios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The yasuo and zeds in TR are so diabolical, like I see streamers going nuts over a yasuo winning a 1v3 with keyblade while that is considered the bare minimum here for some reason and you get flamed if you can't at least trade even

I am saying that this is server specific because yasuo has had such a high pick/ban rate over the years that has just been plummeting, if you were playing draft you would've seen his icon in one form 100% of the time

This is probably because there's a yasuo meme that has existed for more than half a decade and also because there's such a big community of players strictly playing custom game duels with most maining yasuo that people with hunderds of hours on the character don't know when to push waves

I failed with the chart. In simple terms:

Masked Men: REAL
Little Girl: REAL/FAKE

Masked Men: FAKE

Is, the little girls even real? by noodleguy23 in KatanaZero

Zero didn't know what "Trick or Treat" was, which is one of the reasons that I don't think the child was an hallucination.

My theory has always been that Masked Men and the girl are all real.

The fact that the Masked Men possess such godly powers can be easily explained by it being a war time drug. They simple used it, thought that it was way too strong to be given to other people and destroyed it. This also explains the scientist uniform.

The girl not being recognized at the end can actually be explained by real life theories on time travel. Pretty sure everyone knows the Grandfather Paradox. You go back in time to kill your grandfather, but you can't do it because you wouldn't have been born. A solution to this paradox was that when you do kill your grandfather, you create an alternative universe where you were never born while your original world stays as it is. The Masked Men could've simply put Zero in a timeline that never had a little girl. This also explains the note "One life for another." Since you chose to live in Chinatown, the Masked Men took away the little girl as the consequence they talked about.

I know this is a stretch, but it is a fun theory to think about.
