That may be true, since he didn't do too bad against Akali in lane. There was another assassin though, Zed jungle.

Why are we playing the "These characters in MOBAs are the same" game?

Mobas are, in general, infamous for their copy paste.

The only ones that tend to escape it are ones without the typical set up and thus require entirely new sets of mechanics.

[frostshotgg]

I don't think we are? I think that was just a joke about them having similar color schemes and such.

The great mystery to me is how LoL is still more taxing on my computer then dota 2 :v. If I dont significantly lower the settings, whenever teamfights happen and there are particles and things getting stacked on top of eachother there are significant FPS drops, while Dota 2 maintains a  near constant FPS all the time regardless of what is happening. LoL plays smooth whenever there arent 5 or more heroes casting their spells on screen at the same time.

That was the same for me, until Dota introduced the weather effects. Whatever came with that makes Dota near unplayable for me, while League is meh.

They're not the same at all except for their color schemes and that they get slightly harder to kill when you lower their health. The joke is that I was making that comparison in reference to that game without them actually being comparable.

Weather effects are pretty taxing and apparently UI skins are really bad

I'm Silver 1 again. Joy.

I've been unable to get there for a while now. Stuck at some 60-ish LP in S2. Can't get a streak of anything going really, it's always W/L/W/L leaving me esentially in the same spot.

Well at least you can remove weather effects

Sion rework. AP Sion and Cryptic Gaze are dead, long live freeform Vi ult.

[Arcvasti]

I always hated Cryptic Gaze. And most other instant lock on stuns. This new kit seems overtuned, but hopefully it'll be more balanced when it comes out on live.

Newraka is pretty neat, although her new E's root is difficult to proc. Generally enjoying her more then before the rework.

[frostshotgg]

In other beautiful news, 6v6 Twisted Treeline is coming back, for real this time. I had more fun with that for the couple days it was possible before than I did in URF.

Sion rework. AP Sion and Cryptic Gaze are dead, long live freeform Vi ult.

technically speakin AP sion is still there:

W active shield scales 40% of AP along with 10% max HP, the explosion deals 140 magic damage at lvl 5, scales 40% AP and 14% of the enemy's max HP (dont know how painful would that be)

E deals 210 base damage at lvl 5 and scales 40% AP, if you can get to give the increased damage, then it is 315 at lvl 5 and scales 60%

ye olde nuker shield is gone i guess, but you can still use it with AP if you want...
