AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Splurged a bit and bought Vi. She is amazing and I wish I'd tried to jungle her sooner.

Out of curiosity and not a little frustration, is ADC Kennen supposed to be viable? The guy kept blaming it on the notion that Blitzcrank doesn't work with his super-duper setup but I'm not sure how it's my fault that he can't trade, can't farm, and dies more often than not when I pull an enemy under our tower. According to him it works best with "supports with stuns, like Annie." I'm fairly convinced it only (maybe) works when he basically has a second mage to carry his booty through laning phase.

His range is just too small to effectively trade, honestly, and even when he does he doesn't have much DPS early game. I also find it odd he wants a support with a stun, considering he, y'know, has one. Then again everyone likes supports with stuns.

Kennen got a lot harder to play after they nerfed him last season. But he's much better off in top lane where his poke and cc can actually make a difference. And he needs AP.

Pretty much the entirety of what makes or made kennen good in top lane is that he outranged his primarily melee opponents. That advantage is completely thrown out the window when your opponent is also ranged, and able to dish out a lot more damage, faster than you can.

The only thing I can think of why he'd want an annie support is because annie can do enough damage with her ult stun combo that he could clean up whatever's left.

Oh boy! The finally released Shuma Gorath!

Yeah, after giving it some thought I'm guessing ADC Kennen only works lategame, and only if he's fed by that point. Meaning he'd need a support capable of not only rooting enemies in place long enough for his stun to keep them rooted longer but also dealing enough damage to basically feed him kills until his own DPS rises above practically zero, which hopefully also means they're able to scare the other pair far enough away from the minions that he won't get destroyed every time he tries to last hit. At which point...why bother putting him there?

Also apparently Rengar/Xin Zhao makes a great bottom kill lane - by which I mean it's great at getting killed.

Freedom is a lie.

Considering how ugly that icon looks, I'm not surprised.

Also, that new champ
Splash art: "Shuma Gorath clone looks p. cool"
then you get to the ingame model and it's just "Oh."

Apparently the tentacle animations are pretty cool though. And you can never go wrong with shooting lasers.

Side note, any thoughts on the Xerath rework? From playing against him a couple times he seems a lot more unique now. Crazy range, big snipes. He doesn't seem OP though (imo), all this skills are dodgeable and he has no escapes if someone jumps on him.

He is OP in arams, though, haha.

yasuo is major overpowered and as such the only way to deal with him is to be a better yasuo

I never see any good Yasuos so I have no info on how stronk he is. I do know that I stomped a Yasuo as Heimerdinger once.

Oh you wanted to jump on me? In my turret playground/death zone? That's cute.

A good yasuo will jump around your turrets like play things and then ult you with his 100% crit

THE FUTURE IS NOW!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, he bodaciously ignored my turrets and tried to dive me. Real easy to land a stun grenade when they're right on top of you.

Ooh, That drawing with Ziggs on it is wallpaper-sized... yoink
I wonder how many people will actually be able to get Hexakills. I hope we can see stats of how frequent they are.
