Since the Cleanse nerf hows Malazar? Always wanted to play dude but cleans shut his game down like no ones business.
malz is alot better, its not that cleanse doesn’t affect it, its that no one picks up cleanse as much anymore, so that nerf kinda buffed him. And they increased the range on his ult so thats better too.
I’ve started playin this game, tryin to use Dr. Mundo. Getting my ass kicked so far haha. My tag is Angrylobster if anyone ever wants to get some games goin
Yo Negaduck, is your name on League the same as it is on here? If so, I’ll add you tonight. My friends and I need another Level 30 in our 5v5 rotation. We’ve got a Teamspeak 3 server and a pretty solid group of 7 or so.
I’m surprised more people aren’t hitting up Kennen on his free week, he’s so damn baller.
Curious, those who play Ezreal, do you prefer AP or dmg? I seem to be the only one who thinks his potential is geared more towards getting dps, I get called out like crazy for building him with Trin + Bloodthirster.
Yeah it’s negaduck in game too. I usually play late at night or early mornings. But if I’m on feel free to hit me up.
Re: ezreal
I play him as pure ap. IMO ap far outways ad. From my knowledge with ad you only benefit from his Q ability and normal attack.
With ap, rush a lichbane and it will not only add the bonus damage to your Q, but the ap will help the rest of your abilities as well, making your burst insane. I played a game the other day and got 751 ap with ez and my mystic shot was hitting for around 800-1k (didn’t really see how much it hit champs, just saw the 1k on a creep lol)
I don’t like ad because late game it feels like your ult doesn’t do much when everyone has tons of hp and resist.
Ap all the way for me.
Even if they have cleanse, it no longer removes Morde’s ult. Cleanse no longer removes DoT effects, only slows, stuns and the like.
Kennen is a really bad champion. He’s easily in the bottom 5. Malzahar certainly isn’t as bad as he was before. I’d put him up as a solid mid-tier champion with the likes of Karthus, with the potential to be much better. I still need to expirement with him more.
Yeah, I don’t know what it is about kennen, but he just isn’t very useful, not in team fight or a 1v1 situation.
I think it’s his ult tbh, it only hits a single target like 3 times regardless of it’s duration, I think it shouldn’t have a cap if only one champion is in the field.
But yeah right now kennen isn’t very good
Cleanse is only useful on melee champs, if you’re caught as a ranged champ with no innate ability to escape, Cleanse won’t and can’t save you. Melee champs however can be disabled by a bunch of things up close and they need Cleanse to stay viable imo. Mal still isn’t great even with the Cleanse nerf, just makes him harder to kill 1v1.
Ezreal is still weak imo, his utility heal made him less useful overall. I find though an Ezreal that gets Phage/Frozen Mallet is much scarier overall regardless of how he builds. The slow is such a pain and the extra HP makes him harder to kill overall.
Kennen is strange, he’s only good depending on the team you have. He teams well with Morgana. He’s better built more tanky rather than for damage. I’ve tried doing AP/AD and just AP/Tank items and he does much better as an AP Tank. AS AD and AP both suffer from Kennen being useless without Ult and Cleanse being able to remove the stun which also lowers his ability to damage people. His main asset is really just his mass stun, but really if you want a mass AOE stun, you would just play Amumu. He can be an asset on a team with Amumu and Morgana though where he basically helps trap people in a stun lock for the DPS. He’s not completely useless, but you don’t need him on any team.
You think ez is weak? He’s one of the best champs in the game. Easily. And his heal was waaaaay op.
Having a ton of ap and being able to just fire it through the middle of a team fight and simultaniously heal your team and do hella damage to the opponent was op as hell. He’s not as op anymore but he’s still crazy powerful.
Like Rufus, op ass snake strike in vanilla, they reduced the damage and he’s still top tier. That’s kinda what happened to e
Yeah, AP Ezreal is still beastly even after all of his nerfs. The damage on his ult is awesome, his blink x homing missile is awesome, he’s just flat out awesome.
With 200+ games on Akali, the usual hard carries are pretty free. Ez has potentially amazing damage, but he’s easy to shut down with the right character as well. My stance is that he’s pretty weak and because of the lag issues that’s pretty rampant on the Riot servers since forever after the Beta, it’s difficult for him to even aim on any opponent that has a brain. Maybe there are some high level Ez that only play in premades, but Solo Queue Ezreals are garbage and no amount of damage will make him good. He has good tools, but he’s hella easy to shut down and he’s less useful to his team now without his heal. The nerf made me quite happy, but doesn’t change how I see him. Of course this is in a limited scope, by design my character is meant to shut down Carries anyways.
Currently, I see Ez not being a prominent mid character anymore. It might just be I’ve had a bad streak of a few dozen games where everyone just can’t play Ez, which happens, but it’s more likely he’s not as good as before with people not knowing how to build him. Unless the opposing team has nobody who can shut down Ez, there’s no reason why he should be able to carry. He basically dies if you touch him out in the open since he can’t fight people that just round around next to him.
I wouldn’t rank him up there with the best champs. Not even close simply because he has no utility, he’s just damage with a slight buff from essence flux. Annie, Shaco, Shen and Soraka are characters that most teams have no problems justifying being there. They can fill a role regardless of what team composition you have, Ez doesn’t have that. He can be top of the middle class… maybe… if you want to be nice, but he’s not nearly in the ranks of the best champs.
I would go to say that most people just can’t play him to his potential. In all my games as ez I’ve never been shut down by a champ and a good ezreal will very much be aware of what champion is the most dangerous to him on the other team and take the necessary preocautions.
Ap ezreal is pretty top tier, and yet for some reason everyone thinks that ad is a better build to go just because he can’t heal anymore which boggles my mind.
I suppose we just disagree on this point right now. Maybe we will have to queue up together and I can show you the power if ez and maybe change your mind lol
Never put ezreal and bad in the same sentence. And no, Phage/Mallet on Ez isn’t super scary. That motherfucker still has amazing burst and escapability. He’s easily still a top 10 champion. His heal pre-nerf just made him retardedly OP.
lovin that Morgana’s items
Xin Zhao = pretty fuckin’ good. Also, Poppy’s Q is too beastly.
Agreed on EZ, even after lal the nerfs one of the best chars in the game. It doesn’t matter how little his skills shots do, he can still drop 3 skills shots on you in a second from a range you likely can’t do crap about it.
fuck, I’m in champ select and the servers went down so we can’t start. Shit sucks, I better not get a loss.
Fuck I want to play as ez now.
