Huh. That Sivir didn't have a trinket.

Food for thought: At that level (I'm assuming the NA account by that name that's level 10), ignite or exhaust are probably better for you than barrier. And of course once you hit level 12, smite/flash always. I also noticed you spent on runes. Really, don't bother with the low level runes. You have so few slots and tier 1/2 runes are so weak that you're basically wasting the IP.

Hmm, I'll have to look into switching up Barrier then. I am finally at the level where people understand leashing, and will help beat up the golem, before that if I didn't take heal or barrier I'd have some trouble. The Level 1 runes are pretty cheap, and better then nothing, I figured. I haven't bought a ton, just some for a basic couple of things. Flash sounds so fun, do want.

In other news, anyone listen to Get Jinxed, the Jinx-themed music video? It's pretty great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nlJuwO0GDs‎

Well that happened.

our jungler left early on but we still managed to win 4v5... (Also two of their team ragequit halfway through).

ADC Annie guys! it's the new thing!!

[frostshotgg]

Actually, it's an old thing. A really, really old thing. As in, I'm pretty sure Annie was played AD before she was played AP way back in beta.

[Frumple]

... howzat work, anyway? Doesn't she have like, zero AD scaling anything except the AA?

[frostshotgg]

Scaling isn't what makes the AD carry. Steroids and base stats do. Annie has the second highest range, an amazing defensive steroid, and stuns for days.

This. Just by way of example, Ez, Ashe, and Kog'Maw only have one ability with good AD scaling, but they're all viable ADCs because of their stats and the way their kits function.

[frostshotgg]

Tristana has absolutely no AD scaling and she's a great AD. On the other end of the scale, Urgot has really high AD scaling but he can't carry for crap.

So Heimerdinger is op now, turrets get 3.5 health per AP  %40 scaling at 18 which can make them ridiculously hard to kill. They were easy to kill before but now with enough AP they are fairly tanky and do a lot of damage.

[frostshotgg]

Based on the patch notes, it looks like they have 68% scaling, not 40%.

[Sharp]

Health starts at 8.5% (5+3.5) scaling and increase 3.5 per level to 40% at 18.

Turrets lasting longer also means that the amount of beams being fired increases and once he places 3 turrets it does a lot of long range damage, he can easily zone out melee champs now although ranged champs can still beat him, he makes quite a good counter top I feel, wouldn't be surprised to see him counter the strong bruiser top in LCS.

[frostshotgg]

3.5*18 = 63. 63+5 = 68. Now I'm really confused. Rito pls

[Sharp]

k apparently lvl 1-8 is flat 5%, then after increases by 3.5 per level.

The thing that made Kass a bitch to deal with was his silence, the fact that he could just turn off any response another mage could have to him for 3 seconds while he walks away.

You know, I've been thinking about this.
What would, in your opinion at least, make Kassadin's silence more in-line with other champions that also have this ability?
Lower the duration? I love Kass, but even I have to admit 3 seconds of silence is quite a long time. This DOES go in line with his "anti-mage" role, but I digress.
Maybe have silence as an optional de-buff? Like, put a counter or something on every champ Kass strikes melee, and silence only activates on those with such counter. That would force Kass player to actually teleport right next to enemy mage, strike him once and only THEN use null sphere as a shutdown/killing move. This way, opponent would still have a small window of reacting instead of just being blasted away.
Or maybe put all other abilities than his R on slow cooldown (say, 0.5 s) when he comes out of riftwalk.

Does that even make sense?

[frostshotgg]

I understand the question that you're asking, but I think the end answer is that a strong hard cc like a silence, lots of damage, and absurd mobility are a set of "Pick 1 or 2, not 3".

I'm really liking Jinx, but having a hard time mastering her. Her skillshots especially are obnoxious as heck, such a long time for people to move. HOWEVER, being on one side of the map, seeing the teamfight going meh on the other, and then sending a rocket over and getting a kill (with no small amount of splash damage) is probably the greatest feeling ever. Infinite range FTW. Run away at diagonals!
