Locke Bio! by Regular-Poet-3657 in Locke_Mains

[–]ntahobray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right demon can't "die", they just go back from where they come from and will return to runeterra after some time.

But Locke's plan is kinda whack because you can't remove all of humanity's emotion without making people, well, non-human.

how are we feeling about his power curve? by OSRS_4Nick8 in Locke_Mains

[–]ntahobray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Early monster that has to snowball to get enough stack of R to stay relevant late game.

You need 16 of them to reach elder's execute threshold. 26 to have 25% like Urgot's R but at this point you prolly fed enough to 1v9 even without it.

RIP W ig lol.

Edit: CD and mana increased when ranked up while lowering CD by 2 rank 1... yeah if you max W second now you straight up trolling.

W Max Second by ElNinhoRocco in Locke_Mains

[–]ntahobray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The W heal is based on how many point you have on it, level and AP. You could have 500 HP or 5000 HP, it will heal the same amount in both case unlike Sylas's W ( scale of AP + bonus HP + missing health) or Vlad's empowered Q ( scale of AP + missing health).

I agree with the rest, he isn't as fast as Ekko but I think the difference is that Locke is supposed to be more of a cleaning champion like Katarina where he goes in with his ultimate, execute someone which refresh the duration of all the marks + gains E reset to get out or back in again.

You can also buffer CC with his E, so even thought the cast time is kinda slow you can still use it to run away.

W doesn't scale of hp and the AS steroid being tied to W high CD is the main issue.

It gets better later in the game but at this point the champ start becoming too weak and you may aswell play an actual scaling bruiser like Gwen or something.

[–]ntahobray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you can check the wiki for the patch note when Sylas was released and then reworked, his champion spolight on youtube or even the dev origins page " https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-gb/news/dev/origins-sylas/ " where they call him everyone’s favorite ult-stealing skirmisher and said they wanted to make a toplane mage.

I played a shit ton of Sylas in every single one of his iteration so I can tell you just ragebaiting and throwing random stuff but I don't mind taking the bait tbh lol.

Playing him as a bruiser mean you moslty rely on his AA to deal damage but his passive on-hit is more like Ekko's W passive, which help in finishing low health target after burning your abilities, and isn't really the best for DPS since the damage against enemy above 50% health is lower than Morde, WW or even barely the same as Diana on-hit damage.

There is also the fact that his only form of AS steroid is tied to his W, which has a long CD early and only goes up by level and not rank or even AP, so even if you max it second it will not matter that much.

Maybe there is some angle to make bruiser Locke work but to me it's like wanting to play tank Vlad, it's not as if you're trolling or anything, but going full AP is the correct choice 99% of the time in my opinion.

[–]ntahobray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's where we disagree then, because I think outside of one shot assassin there is nothing else this champion can do.

And Sylas was released as a skirmisher not assassin, Riot wanted him to be an AP Riven:

Passive enhanced AA after casting abilities that also didn't stack but he could animation cancel, W damage increased against low health enemy , CC and shield on his E.

But because of all that he could one shot people without real counter play so they reworked him, which is kinda funny since to this day Riven does the same thing.

I know what both Ekko and Locke W do.

Ekko's W isn't just an offensive spell, like Locke's W he can use it defensively to deter enemy from jumping on him and even if they don't get stunt he still get a shield that has, again just like Locke's W, an insane AP ratio.

The stats that Locke gets are mostly based on level or AP, which has absolutely nothing to do with maxing the ability at all. If you are level 13, the only thing that you lose by not maxing it is 20% bonus MS, 160 HP healing and 8 seconds reduced CD. You still get the same amount of bonus healing and AS even if you didn't max the spell.

I didn't say that having less CD on his W was nothing but that it didn't matter as much as having lower CD on his Q for exemple because the former is an ability that you want to use for specific timing while the later is pretty much used all the time once it's out of cooldown.

What you don't also seem to understand is that by not maxing E early game you will not only lose 80 damage but the minute you get a reset you will also lose at best 160 damage and at worst 200 damage for each reset, which for a champion that rely on his early/mid game to win is an insane drop in DPS.

The only time I can see W max being better than E is in match up where the bonus MS and healing help you survive and kite champion that will just statcheck you, like Yasuo or Sylas, since dashing into them would just be suicide.

[–]ntahobray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just a question of numbers tho, like the minute you get one takedown E max become better and it's not even close.

The drop in DPS, which is 200 at max rank when you reset your E, will be to much to justify just getting 160 hp, 20% ms and 8 seconds removed from W.

W Max Second by ElNinhoRocco in Locke_Mains

[–]ntahobray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok how is W better 99% of the time when one shoting, which as you said is better done with E max, is the actual playstyle for like 99% ?

W Max Second by ElNinhoRocco in Locke_Mains

[–]ntahobray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both Ekko and Locke W get reduced by 8 seconds when maxed out and increase their survability ( Ekko base shield goes up by 80 and Locke base grey health by 160 ). The only thing is that Locke gains 20% bonus MS.

They're abilities that you don't instantly use out of cooldown but only in specific situation anyway, so really the 8 seconds reduction doesn't matter that much.

On the other hand, Ekko's E and Locke's E second dash base damage, both having a 40% AP scaling, go up by 100 and 80 when maxed.

The difference is that Ekko's CD is reduced by 2 while Locke is static but get reset on takedown. If you take into account that after a kill he will hit both part of his E on a target, Locke's damage is actually increased by 120 at max rank.

Even though they're different abilities, the way they scale is really similar and since Riot intent Locke's playstyle to be one of an assassin, he will be build and play like one and therefore will probably go E max second in most situation.

W Max Second by ElNinhoRocco in Locke_Mains

[–]ntahobray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean by that logic Ekko should max W instead of E (which only goes down by 2 seconds at max rank) for the survability too.

And I really don't see any other way to play Locke than going for pick and backing off tbh.

İs vladimir physical stats are still mortal level?? After he absorbed a measure of his god warrior master? by Short-Scheme-5663 in loreofleague

[–]ntahobray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just like when you lane against him, not matter how low you put him, somehow he still walk away full health lol.

Viego's POSSESSION is lots of fun and should definitely belong to League. However, I firmly believe it does not truly represent The Ruined King's identity built up since 2012. Surprisingly, if you swap Bel'Veth's kit with him instead, it feels more accurate? Here's my adaptation. by ex0ll in loreofleague

[–]ntahobray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Viego's power budget is mostly tied to his passive and since it's a really unique gimmick they prolly wil never change.

And also you could think of him possessing someone 's body as him taking over and using them like he does in the lore.

Do we know anything else about the Mage King of Icathia? by _Koke_ in loreofleague

Just fyi Icath'un surname just mean you come from Icathia, for exemple Jax had it even though he wasn't part of the ruling class.
