This rune is super, super good. High-risk, high-reward; you need to get the stacks early to make them worth it, and make sure you can really press the advantage it gives you.

But if you do, you get to play with two free kills of extra gold.

Every single Electrocute/Dark Harvest/Predator jungler or midlaner will take this in 9/10 games.

Also keep in mind that, unless you're really bad at the game, gold is worth more than its "gold in stats," since all completed items are over 100% gold efficient.

Lets not take in account the pros of Zoe and Kai'sa...

Yes. Champions have strengths and weaknesses.

In terms of being a poke champion, the ability to outrun everyone except Rammus in a footrace while self-healing any counter-poke is a pretty meaningful strength. What exactly is your counterplay meant to be there?

Damage on Zoe sticks. Unless you gave her a flash (which you can't while chasing), she doesn't have any escapes. Even her CC is delayed to give you more chances to knock her down.

The theoretical reason why she's allowed to do this while nidalee isn't, is because she takes a lot of time to get to this point, she isn't hurling out w's at any decent rate until she gets w evolve which is usually 2-3 items on a hybrid build and 1.5+ items on the ap build, and even then, just getting the evolve doesn't do too much until she stacks more ap/penetration/haste.

While nidalee can chuck spears at you for considerable damage even at level 1.

Additionally, Nidalee has a self-heal and a 3-second cooldown zero-cost leap that clears walls.

Kai'Sa can walk quickly for about one second. Similar to Zoe: Zoe doesn't have a way out when you catch her.

I'm going more off the experiences of high Elo Trynd mains that say Fiora is one of the more difficult matchups.

Trynd wins virtually every lane outside of the really brutal ranged stuff (Vayne, Teemo, likely Quinn). Something stronger than a wet paper bag is more difficult than the main cast tbh.

That caster saying "red gun" "white gun" "purple gun" just sounds silly. How hasn't he learned the gun names since Aphelios has been proplay meta for so long?

If he's doing it for the sake of clarity to novice/non-players, even "chakram" is more informative than "white gun".

I know Calibrum, Severum, Infernum, Gravitum, and Crescendum. But casting is about getting the message across to viewers not flexing my encyclopedic knowledge of the game.

It's not a skill matchup, it is Fiora favored.

Solo queue data puts it as flat with Trynd winning lane. Solo queue is not pro play but it’s not like there is a wealth of Trynd Fiora pro play to augment that with.

Yeah no worries I get that.
Initially of course it's a bit of a "shame to have this interaction with someone I like" but really there is nothing wrong with it.

It makes sense to call people out on wrong information, everyone on Reddit does it and there's no reason that you shouldn't be allowed to. In the end you're one of us, just a league fan who likes discussing the game.

I'm glad and respect that you are just being yourself on here, rather than not interacting with us plebs at all or only being mr nice guy. I know some people give you crap for it but I'm glad you don't let that stop you from being yourself.

Thanks. :)

Still a good idea to not be a total asshole, of course.

Yeah I knew it was wrong after checking it not much later but was too busy to edit, wasn't on Reddit for those hours, sorry Phreak senpai.
I think the first guy assumed W procced your passive the way it does when an ally hits the market.

Would they have had the same damage amount at level 1, then yeah W would've done more damage. But it does not. Forgive me please Phreak-Chan!

I have corrected my comment with an edit c:

Thanks, gamer. Not singling you out here, just frustrating that people can't even be bothered to look any information at all before just spitting out random info that everyone else just laps up and reinforces despite being demonstrably wrong.

The damage is higher because Malphite has 43 armor but only 28 magic resist. You're right about the cooldown though, it would do more damage because of that.

“The damage is higher”

?????????? Y’all gotta stop making up numbers for real.

Support Swain isn't actually 'so' powerful, though. He's weak everywhere, right now.

Bot Swain is quite strong, just no one plays him.

Mid Swain and Support Swain are OK. In general, he performs worse as MMR rises, though.

That was definitely the messiest game of the split so far. Also Phreak's casting this game was just not it, him calling Biofrost making a "blind prediction" with W when they obviously saw 3 people walk into the bush was so bad.

I mean he still doesn't know they're exactly there in that brush, but yeah it's not fully without information.

Something that is able to predict matches at a 90% efficiency, significantly higher than random, can't be done super incorrectly. Though people in this thread are probably going to extrapolate far behond the data.

Wrong. It's taking already-known win data (e.g. X player won 100% of the games they played this week) and using that (which included the game it's about to measure, btw) and saying, "Hey, I predict this player to win."

Yeah, no duh, because you already knew the player won every game in the data set.

That's being handled incorrectly. That's useless.

Except it's not. This entire project is done super incorrectly and none of the finding here are applicable.

This is truly incredible. Well played!
