  Would be a long and boring game imo.

  There's some all jungle games in the practice area, but I'm pretty sure they are long and -very- boring.
  
  I haven't played ranked in a while since I'm trying to work out a good Caitlyn build. I think I've settled on something that gives good DPS without sacrificing too much damage on her Q/R. Not gonna play ranked with her until after next patch though, I'm expecting some tweaks to her skills.

  Just finished a game in 18 minutes. Twas a fast game when 2 of the players quit.

  She needs a buff imo, but that's probably just because I keep playing against her in 3v3's. A strong burst character can kill her in a few seconds though, so they should buff her damage/scaling rate so buying more durability+ items won't mess her up too much :(

  I'm fine with killstealing when it's the carries/champs who needs kills taking them. That's right pubbie Soraka, Ashe needs that kill more than you.

  She needs a buff, there's no doubt about that.
  Guinsoo or someone made a post about her. Her Q originally had no delay, but it was incredibly OP, so they put the delay on.
  Then it was a god tier farming skill, so they lowered the damage, leaving it how it is now.
  Her ult is just a bit bugged. IMOIt needs a bit more damage and it doesn't need a projectile. Just have the cast time, then BAM. There's plenty of time for someone to take the bullet without the incredibly slow projectile adding to it.

  Is there any point in dragging out a game when you're about to lose? 5 turrets gone w/o any damage to their turrets and still no one will surrender.
• Juno wrote on 2011-01-11 20:55
  The thing is, with her massive auto attack range, you've got to be really careful how you buff her. Also, her ult needs to be dangerous...but if it hits too hard then it would be terribly un-fun to play against.
  
  I'm expecting they'll lower/remove the cast time on her Q and buff the damage on her ult a bit. I'm not sure if they're increasing or decreasing the range, but I think it's an increase at lower ranks and a decrease in the end.

  Yeah, they do need to be careful. If anyone else remembers Vlad at release when his Q had a massive range, he'd sit behind his minions and harrass you to death. He wasn't fun to play as or against.
  Maybe they could decrease the time her ult needs to channel/the speed it travels at as the rank goes up? It's useful in the laning phase, but even then it doesn't hit very hard. As the game goes on it starts to do some nice damage, but by then you'd be better off just auto-attacking, and in the cluster**** known as a teamfight it's very unlikely you'll hit your original target.

  Wasn't Magma chamber supposed to be a 2v2 map? I r confuzzled.
  
  I like the look of the map either way though. Seems like Malphite would be a jungle mob on that map. :p

  No, it's a giant 5v5 map. If they don't nerf them, TF, Panth as Shen will be incredibly strong on it.

  How so?

  I wonder if jungling will be viable on this map. And I probably won't play it since I prefer the small map+uber PvP that is TT :D

  If this was directed at Lira, I'm gonna say it's because of universal teleport.

  Guinsoo said at one point, ages ago, jungling was very hard to do, because you had to travel such a large distance between mobs.
  iirc, he said Rammus worked, because you could powerball between mobs.

  Oh wow, that's hot. But why does the site say Bloodline Champions on it :P
