TSM ADC Tryouts

My time to shine, boys.

I have a new smurf to level up too.
SklzThrlzDolaBlz

Curious, what is the point of leveling a smurf account? Just for fun? Personal pride of having two high ranked accounts?

I have one I use to play with lower level friends when they first start out, but outside of that, I don't really ever use it.

Season 6 changes are now up, Marksmen rework from basic attacks to itemization.

quote:

Our goal is similar to our work with juggernauts, where we targeted a group of champions (in this case six marksmen - Corki, Miss Fortune, Graves, Caitlyn, Kog’Maw, and Quinn) who occupied similar strategic spaces, and gave them a little more ‘uniqueness.’ We’re doing this in two ways: how the marksman plays, and how the team plays with them. For the first, since marksmen are so concerned with their basic attacks we want to make sure each feels different. Should you have brought that shotgun to a javelin battle? Maybe! For the second approach, we want to really push the breadth of what a marksman offers. Much like how you pick Ashe for global stuns, or Sivir for when you gotta go fast, or Miss Fortune when you need some wombo for your combo, we want teams to think different based on who’s joining the fray.

New vision items, upgraded trinkets now free, stealth wards removed from shop, ability to see dead wards placement, new mastery system. Health pots going up in price, mana pots removed from game. Flask stronger.

You'll see a few changes to support this rather than a raw "strip wards out." Pink wards, for example, are getting cheaper, trinkets automatically upgrade, and sweeper has some new functionality. We'll have more details next week!
[edit] Big one: Yellow trinket starts with 2 wards automatically.

New dragon type monster in the baron pit at pre-20 min for top laners.

quote:

---

It’s no secret that players who depart for the top lane can end up feeling isolated without a dragon to contest. Rather than just flipping the map on its head, we’re exploring ways to bring some relevancy to the north so top laners can feel like they're interacting with their team before the 15 minute mark.
Details are still being sussed out, but expect to meet something new on Summoner’s Rift in the early phases of the game. Defeat it, and gain single target buff focused on early game power and pushing down the lane.

Daaaaamn. That will change the game completely, and was desperately needed for top lane, very smart Rito.




Also, CLG fires their coach, WTF are they doing?

Jinx getting a new skin

ADC Item changes:

quote:

---

Infinity Edge is slightly weaker now (little less AD), we shifted power elsewhere so it's less automatic and so that we could add cooler things to the Marksman space.

Essence Reaver scales its CDR off of your critical strike chance so that it works as a big core item (think IE space). It can now give upwards of +30% CDR.

Phantom Dancer does stuff other than just be straight up damage. Bonus movement speed while near your opponents and you take less damage from the last champion you hit. Isolate and kill people, basically.

Rapid Firecannon charges up like Shiv, but when charged instead of prepping you for the thunder, increases your attack range and gives you a fiery hit at the end.

Shiv does even more damage versus minions. It's specialized further into being the bursty clearing tool.

Hurricane now crits and the bolts crit. Also movement speed. It's in the PD / Shiv space now, so it should be an option for more Marksman.

Executioner's Calling is back, but it's a bit different and cheaper. Also it's a component item. It builds into something new.

Last Whisper is now a component item. It builds into new things.

There's something called Giant Slayer. It hurts health dudes.

Merc scimitar has Lifesteal, you should feel comfortable taking it over BT.

Death's Dance exist. It has something like Lifesteal but better. Also it "delays" damage.

Adc itemization was stale as frick.

---

So true.

It was either Botrk build, triforce or IE

Should be interesting to see how this affects game.

Most of the preseason changes are now live on the PBE.

Fakers ryze is absurd.
