Crescent Slash
Energy cost reduced to 60/55/50/45/40 from 60 at all ranks
Now activates Mark of the Assassin's secondary damage

is it just me or does that come across as a huge fucking buff to Akali? Throw a Q, wait for Q cd to come off, dash, Q, Dash.

AS somebody who's maining Akali lately, I look forward to the tears of pubs.

It;s E. You didn't even use it in your combo.

Throw a Q, wait for Q cd to come off, dash, E, Q, Dash. Is the normal combo I use anyway. Fucks people up especially when both Qs proc Lich Bane.

Translation YET ANOTHER TOP LANE BRUISER. But this one's different because he's melee and ranged! He's the new Kayle, except he's a bloke...

he's Mayle.

What's with the 'yet another top lane bruiser arguement?'

Pre Jayce we've had:

AD carry, Bruiser, AD carry, Jungler, Support, AD carry, jungler tank, AP carry, jungler tank, AP carry, AP carry, jungler bruiser, AP carry.

out of those champs you can argue that Volibear can go toplane, and I've heard that Naut maybe can too, but voli is kinda shit right now and I only ever see naut in the jungle.

so we're basically getting everything else bar top lane bruisers, and have been for a long time now. Toplane isn't even dominated by bruisers anymore, several AP champs do fine in that role.

E is too much of an energy sink. Letting it proc Q is a QOL buff, because it spares you the autoattack animation time if you really really dont want minion hate / be rooted for the animations duration. It will also deal less damage than AA on maxed Q until youve maxed E, since E in contrast to AA doesnt proc her second passive (%magic damage on AA).

Derp, mis-read the skill they changed. Never mind this buff makes completely zero difference to akali. As mentioned before, E is too much of a Energy sink to even bother using when trying to fight someone.

Maybe for harrass you can Q + E and don't have to bother auto attacking but yeah

[Me]

Never had a problem with E and energy. Don't use smoke unless you really need to and energy is not an issue.

Which unless you are against full retards is 100% of the time because everyone will focus Akali the second she dashes in?

Yeah but you shouldn't need to smoke until after you're in. See so many Akalis dropping smoke on cd and wondering why they never have energy.

Let em all engage, dash in and combo some unlucky bastard, smoke and chill, ks the rest of the team.

[Lilalaunebör]

Now that hes live Jayce looks really fun. Dash/slow+ministun/knockback+mana on hit AND ranged harrass? Also seems to scale really well with AD.
Guess hes my next buy, 1300IP to go..

Having actually watched the spotlight, he seems kind of fun and is going to be a decent anti-meta champ due to his ability to switch around in roles. I think he's going to wind up like Viktor/Varus though - too many intricacies to fill his chosen role, when someone else can do it just as well without 9 million mash butan.

I mean I REALLY would like Riot to stop releasing champs and spend time polishing. We got 100 champs now, how many of them are played at competitive level? 30, 40 maybe? 50 tops. Tons that just aren't played at that level at all - there are a few who are designed to be pubstompers and that's fine but there are others who just don't have a place in the game. Plus lots of QOL changes that should be made, and the fucking stealth rework.

[evil edna]

looks shit

isnt luna

dont care

[Zekk Pacus]

Dota has over 100 heroes. Only one of them is Luna. Guess how many heroes edna gives a shit about.

Look at Nid: 9 million butans but people build her either AD and focus on cougar takedown or AP with spear. All the other abilities are icing on the cake.

My guess is people will play Jayce around his ranged attacks, maxing Q / W roughly parallel, with one point in E.

Harass at range with Q/autoattacks, switch to hammer, Q-E, switch to cannon, W-Q, kill or E to gtfo. Not that complicated, just needs some cdr (brutalizer!) and should be able to take down enemies from 70% hp or so early game :>

Speaking of pub stomper champs; anyone care to compile a decent list? Would be nice to roll with them in case you have a 'asshole friends not on rage' moment and still want to play.

Akali
Tryn
Morgana
Kassadin
LeBlanc

Those're the most prominent that come to mind. Morg/Kass being the best because soloqueue just have NO FUCKING IDEA how to deal with either and that just lets you do whatever the fuck you please.

[FUzziBabes]

If you want to stomp from the jungle take Lee sin, just can't deal with the ganks.

Or maybe even Ali but I don't play him so can't really comment
