I think AP Trist is kind of bullshit IMO. So much damage on targeted skills. Some clear weaknesses for sure, but can 100-0 people in ways that make LB jealous.

It works till people get Banshees and all left is a 1500 hp squishy carry that jumps into her death. And when the other carry is also underperforming then it just turns into a humiliating defeat.

Also forgot about that 110cs 2/8 Ziggs at 25 minutes in helping Lucian in that first game. Its just embarassing really even for silver players to fail like that.
You have some decent or even games then all of a sudden matchmaker decides to bring up the worst players available somehow for several games in a row.
Where do they come from? I hardly believe that the attitude of these players is "well, Im just gonna waste 30 minutes for 4 other people cause I feel like it".
Are they all bought accounts? Boosted? Why are they playing so bad lacking even simple basics?

Codex 2012 Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Dead State Project: Eternity Codex USB, 2014 Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath
I played with quite a few players which played so badly I believed that they bought their accounts. The first one was the most fun, it was my second ranked game ever and the guy picked Tryndamere jungle and went 0/17 in 20 min. I looked at his match history it was 6 months of pause before his last game. I mean what kind of fucker buys an account and goes immediately into ranked games, and why do I get to play with him.

I actually played a lot ap Tristana mid when I was just starting, she pretty much dominates lining phase, shes extremely hard to gank or kill with any champ 1v1, farming and pushing the line is very easy and when you get lvl 6 you instantly get a kill. As said you need to win your line early, gank as much as possbile to give your other lines advantage and build advantage for your team before even getting to group fight stage. You need to all that because she scales pretty badly in late game and gets pretty useless in team fights. Still early on shes loads of fun.

Also what the fuck is with matchmaker, last 10 games every one of my team gets out ranked badly. For example I one game two days ago enemy team gets 1 diamond, 2 plat and 3 gold players while we have 2 gold, 2 silver and 1 unranked guy who had total of 90 wins. I have been getting this shit in the last dozen games, before it was like this every few games now its every single one.

I remember the last time I saw AP trist, I was playing Elise post-nerf and told my mid laner to be careful against her because she has surprising burst and snowballs hard. I was the only one who fed her...

Had the best match ever, was playing as jungle Amumu, my team was having trouble going into mid game were down 2 towers but we did take the only dragon so far. (because I solo'd it at level 9 because this is bronze queue and no one ever contests that shit for reasons unknown to me.)*

Then whatever server were on takes a shit, 12 minutes of reconnecting after which me and my teammate Draven are the first to recover from. We march down mid lane and destroy nexus as everyone else starts to recover from the universal lag MWAHAHA best feature ever Riot.


*I will be so terrible in silver tier when I can't just assume I will get free dragons.

Jungling is pretty easy bronze/silver mainly cause map awereness sucks and people tend to overextend. As long as you as a jungler have a good overview of the map you'll do fine unless you run into a good counterjungler that knows basic stuff like you do.
Its why I liked Maokai so much, early kills galore. Blue-Wolves-Red-lv3-go mid/top lane and kill the overextended lv2 enemy. Insane amount of kills done that way.
Griefing/losing/feeding lanes is what you wanna avoid,no point reseting their gold, put em on ignore if they bitch to much and try to farm/counterjungle and help snowball winning lanes.

Lifesteal tanks right now are the holy grail for Riot with concerns to bruisers and how they should play. They love experimenting and are going to put their design philosophies ahead of everything else, such as making the champion viable or even fun to play. They almost care more about them being fun to play against rather than fun to play as. So I wouldn't really expect the world here, it's quite possible he will suck or just be extremely situational. Hell, I remember a ranked game not too long ago where I got carried by a full AP full DPS Warwick top. Pretty sure they frown of that type of build diversity.

But since I never played Warwick ever, any change to him is good. Above all I hope he becomes fluid to play, his Q needs to feel much better and his mana issues need to disappear, which actually look like they're even worse.

I love this line:
Otherwise this (his ultimate) is a straightforward improvement on live WW ult. The enemy gets counterplay

No, his ultimate looks worse. I can't really form an opinion too much since the numbers are so wacky but I'm not crazy about his new kit. Pretty much every bruiser that doesn't have a good reliable gap closer is absolute shit. Garen, Sion(AD), Darius, Skarner, Yorick, Gangplank, Udyr (sort of), Volibear (sort of). I also love the line about how he's worried his ult can be used defensively. Yeah, not like Kha/Vi/Lee have incredible mobility that can be used both offensively and defensively and they're top tier junglers. What made Warwick better before was how overbearing he was if ahead, not to mention his utility with W. We'll see the numbers, but his kit doesn't seem like a top tier champion.

Always hard to judge this early since his rework is quite far off, but yeah, the ult is a straight up nerf since it can now miss or be intercepted. I also think his passive sounds a bit weak unless you are allowed to stack it up and falls off too quick. Will wait and see. I really like WW as he is now. Not my call though. Daniel Klein seems like a decent guy to head the butcheri... I mean rework at least.

I can see some combos from the new kit and it would help his laning phase cause 90% of people are laning with him. He will fare better in trades and now will have a gap closer teleport free damage combo at cost of some mana. Start with flat mana regen yellows and rush sheen or glacial and most of his mana troubles are over. His new ult is a big nerf tho,now you'll have to flash over teams to get to the carrys and people will build against you depending on how much trouble/fed you are. What most of the people dont get is that you also stunlock yourself for 2.5 sec when you ult so building glasscannon is not happening cause you'll get erased under half of that duration. Late game is still going to be his achilles heel, that is not changed. As most of the auto-attackers he works best as the cleanup squad, not as the main initiatior but everyone will still expect you to engage first to start the fight.

Think its only me and 2 other people that like Warwick more as a jungler. Hell, he doesnt even need health potions when jungling. And I play with 21/0/9 masteries. Thats 0 in defense.
Use his ult twice in 20 minutes on top lane or jungle and use it 10 times. I have same thinking with Malphite. Malph needs potions tho.

So, ZenonTheStoic posted a preview of WW's kit after his upcoming rework and it actually sounds p. cool. No AS boost though, which makes me a bit sad but new E and W seem interesting and his passive quite strong with stacks.

http://www.reignofgaming.net/news/27965-updated-warwicks-rework-full-kit-preview

Such aura loss. Many %hp damage. Much Morello. Wow.

I fucking love this part:

Thoughts: I really dislike that this can now be used as an escape, but I'll just tune CDs such that it really hurts when you do that

Because all but one champ released since Oct 2012 didn't have some kind of dash or blink

Er, right now he is quite OP as a jungler since nobody really expects you to gank before six anyway. FF/wit's end/sunfire cape/GG.
Its not with the new kit IMO, that E gap closer is a bit of damage and a mini slow with a 0,75 sec fear on W, got no hard lockdown and he boomerangs back to start position. Not even close compared to early ganks of Xin, Vi or Elise for example. Dont even got time to apply the red buff slow cause you'll need to run up to the victim one more time. Elise could combo down someone in half that time if she lands the stun.


And yes, there are better champs but there are alot of players that cant into the mechanics thing of said champs.

You have FF, Wits and Sunfire before 6? Impressive.

Warwick brings nothing to the team other junglers don't do better. He's literally shit tier in the current jungle meta.

Wouldn't it require him to AFK at nexus for 30 mins to avoid accidentally dinging 6 from creep xp while farming the jewgoldz for the items?

Got demoted to Silver II. Both expected and well deserved, I've played like crap lately and rarely felt like I had any (positive) impact on the games I've been in. Oh well, back to the drawing board. I'll just stay the hell out of ranked until I can play more regularly.
