have u seen her kit? she has spells in it op

You forgot to mention that she can auto attack you. Literally no other champ can do that.

she can teleport from mile away to you lol is this akali 2.0 ?

SuperRiceBoiFeb 20, 20189 votes

She needs a plasma stack to dash though, not like Akali I believe

xGunna1Feb 20, 20183 votes

her long range W do that

DoozkuFeb 20, 201814 votes

Have fun landing that from a mile away though, especially if you don't see where they are or if they're standing in a minion wave.

Have you seen the speed of the Missile? If she DOES have vision on you and she is out of vision then its going to be very hard to dodge. ONLY mobile champs have any real chance to dodge it. More Riot hates Immobile mages.

LookAtSelliMFeb 20, 20182 votes

I could agree if her W had the speed of Jhin's W, but I believe it even slower than Morgana's Q, so if you have vision on her casting it, you should really have no trouble dodging that!

RocketRelmFeb 20, 20185 votes

You can see the projectile on the official reveal.

I can't eyeball the projectile speed on that to a precise unit count, but. I feel confident in saying it's faster than Morg Q (1400 units/second).

(Actually, I can do some maths. She starts casting right at the start of second three, and it hits right before second 5. Given cast time is 0.25 by standard design, means it took about 1.5-1.7 seconds to reach the destination.

It looks longer than Jhin's W, but. I'm presuming it's same length for now (3000 units). 3000 / 1.666... = 1800 units/second. That fits with my gut feeling on the spell.)

KenBatesFeb 20, 20182 votes

You could say that about Zoe's E, except zoe's E is quite fast. And stuns you. Which can set up for an instant kill, or a ton of damage. And utilizing her ult, She doesn't even need to risk anything if she wants to kill you.

Meanwhile Kai'sa's W moves at about the speed of an Ashe E, and when she hits it she gets to teleport to you. And puts herself at a lot more risk then a Zoe would.

xGunna1Feb 21, 20181 votes

that's why only good kai sa players will choose the weakest targets to snipe

HikineetFeb 22, 20181 votes

That plasma stack is very easy to get, especially if you have another person on your team. :)

gotta say her teleport range is my only issue with her kit. she can teleport to you from waaayyyy too far away, she could enter dragon pit from red buff over two walls for god sake

SuperRiceBoiFeb 22, 20181 votes

It's not as far as you'd think. And Azir can get from red buff to dragon pit too. A lot of champs can do it.

My issue is that it's an ADC with the mobility. Thankfully it's only an engage not a disengage

Sire HippingtonFeb 20, 20181 votes

exept for her E, she might be the only champ that actually can't AA at times....

that's broken

DracocrashFeb 20, 201848 votes

There is nothing wrong with people expressing their opinion. If people think the champ looks overloaded on paper, then be it.

I would also like to point out that this is a QQ thread calling out QQ threads.

I wish I could upvote your comment, and then upvote you again for your name.

DeadSpace3WinerFeb 20, 20189 votes

No but theres something wrong with people Completely judging a champ before they've even play vs/ as or watched someone play against it.

VenomarFeb 21, 20183 votes

That, or there's actually people here on this board who aren't complete mongoloids, possibly even with an understanding of the game, and can see the implications her kit will have and the issues it will cause, regardless of numbers.

DeadSpace3WinerFeb 21, 20181 votes

Says the incoherent trash in front of me. You don't even have the champs numbers yet to still call it op is like anyone saying that book cover definitely looks bad I should just hate it because of that.

no to toxicFeb 20, 201817 votes

Akali isn`t even reworked yet and I already see you posting about how they ruined her and her deep lore and personality for you so you tribute her by posting all the hentai folders of Akali you have on r/akalimains

Hey h0w r yaFeb 20, 201811 votes

She literally has a kit that does damage, she's broken af

FerrisBueler24Feb 20, 20188 votes

I believe her main limiting factor will be her attack range. She may have mobility but that is bc she has such low range. Plus, any champ that gets fed can look broken. Thats the point of the spotlight, make you get excited for a champion

midnight oil24Feb 20, 20184 votes

Exactly. Any champ that gets fed looks broken. Just because I get crushed by, say, a kassadin doesn't automatically make Kassadin broken. The person just played the champ well and built good items. The teasers are showing those sorts of best case scenarios. What, do people think they'd get hyped for a new champ by watching said champ fail miserably? They want you to think the champ looks powerful, of course they'll show it with an optimal build.

5050BSFeb 20, 20184 votes

In part because we can see who cancer she will be. Now Maybe her W will be on a long CD like Swains but its speed makes it hard to dodge when it comes from the fog and then she can Ult to you. So She has a dash and a mid range TP to stay on someone... Then Zoes Passive but on an Activate (and since its Q I assume a short CD) and them she does % missing HP every 4 stacks (and with item 3124 she gets them twice as fast).

So ya its called a overloaded kit.

FerrisBueler24Feb 20, 20186 votes

i was thinking the guinsoos was op on her too. especially since she has ap scaling. But i think her attack range will make it tough to keep that up. She has to be in close to attack and that is when people can get her. she will have to avoid teamfights in a way. Vayne does max hp and people dont build guinsoos that often on her.

5050BSFeb 20, 20182 votes

I can see her builds being something like

item 3124 item 3146 item 3153 item 3115 ( item 3078 or item 3100 item 3006

AD 35 + 40 + 40 + (25) = 115 or 140 AP 50 + 80 + 80 + (80) = 210 or 290 AS 25 + 25 + 50 + (40) + 35 = 135% or 175%

SuperRiceBoiFeb 20, 20181 votes

She's looking to be a hybrid on hit champ. If her passive buffs aren't adaptive, you won't want to go item 3078 or item 3100 , you're gonna want to go with item 3085 to unleash her passive on all her foes . After that you can sell boots for item 3022 if her own cc applies procs, or another life steal item. Frankly, I think I will go with Frozen mallet if the above is true.

5050BSFeb 21, 20181 votes

True with her Q being on a ~6s CD and being her shortest CD spell Tri or Lich are not options

SuperRiceBoiFeb 21, 20181 votes

I really want to know if her own cc makes bonus stacks. Knowing that she is more prone to diving it looks like more health would do her well, so item 3022 would be a good fit for both. Dang, I just want to build this on an ADC and it actually be less than super situational.

NineTailedMysticFeb 21, 20181 votes

Nearby allies' Immobilizing effects

Hey buying Frozen Mallet won't apply her passive more than her AA's already do.

SuperRiceBoiFeb 21, 20181 votes

I'm gonna test it out on her anyway, it suggests it's based on crowd control but she doesn't have cc in her kit. If it doesn't work, oh well. If it does, she will shred in spite of the reduced AD.

NaalithFeb 20, 20184 votes

The complaining has only begun. Imagine what people will think when they see videos of their favorite diamond to challenger tier YouTubers fucking poor bronze and silvers on PBE. It's not like matchmaking on PBE is trash, the fact those high rank people means the champ has to be OP!

taleofsonataFeb 20, 20183 votes

Ok let me tell you something, we don't trust anything that riot does now and it becomes predictable for the game health condition. I am currently SUPER SCARED of the new champion, especially after soo many mistakes that riot is currently doing.

SuperRiceBoiFeb 20, 20185 votes

League's history is filled with OP champs at release. Irelia had an insane win rate when she got released and was nerfed 8 patches in a row. Xin Zhao was nicknamed Win Now when he was released cuz he was broken too. We know from the recent past that Ornn and Zoe were broken OP. After her mini rework, LeBlanc was disgusting. Also, remember that one day when Galio could do 150% of your max health in 1.5 seconds? This isn't anything new.

Sire HippingtonFeb 21, 20182 votes

Orn wasn't Op on release though, like many others he was overbuffed soon after release because people still figured out how to properly use him while he also was on the weak side at the start.

SuperRiceBoiFeb 20, 20182 votes

Did anyone notice it looks like her E gives her ghost while she's invisible?

Also, my guess on build path:

AD: item 3153 item 3006 item 3124 item 3085 item 3031 item 3087 And if you're feeling crazy and her CC can add stacks, item 3022 woah.

AP: item 3115 item 3116 item 3124 item 3100 item 3146 item 3006 sell boots for item 3285

I'd love to see frozen mallet be a good item on an ADC lol If it does work on her own slows, I would think frozen mallet might be core, as being in a fight might mean getting a proc of every other auto, as well as some added health considering she wants to dive opponents, which will allow her to take an extra AD auto late game.

midnight oil24Feb 20, 20185 votes

The invisibility is a bonus effect she gets if she builds enough attack speed. The speed boost itself is the base ability, and she can't attack during the boost.

SuperRiceBoiFeb 20, 20181 votes

Yeah that's a given in print, the bonus speed during her e charge isn't though.

midnight oil24Feb 20, 20182 votes

Looking at the video of the ability, it doesn't look like she gains bonus speed when going invisible, she seems to move at about the same speed, or maybe a little faster but they may be showing her with more move speed. Remember, berserker's greaves boosts move speed and attack speed. They may have just shown her with that as one of the items bought to give the e boost, but again I don't think i saw her going faster than before.
