The champ play style is good for teamfights, and she makes a great camp. We all know she is going to be toned down later on. How ever here is a few things I would like to talk about.

First her tentacles are very hard to time correctly and it does require a lot of help from the team to get the combos. Why I say her tentacles are hard to time is because many champs have a dash, or abilities to dodge very easy and if you can dodge those things that easy the passive idea kind of goes out the window. would suggest increasing how fast the passive ones hit, but keep the speed for her ult and Q were it is at now. That way she does not have to rely so much from the team to help position the combo correctly. Another idea if you don't like changing the speed on them then I would suggest some kind of slow or pull back. Anyways. I would mess around with the passive so she's more fluid in teamfights.

Second the spirit tentacles should be getting hit by the towers when they are next to them Because I don't feel it's fair if you do successfully get away from a gank, but you can't recall behind your tower because of the spirit tentacles getting free hits on you

Lastly when you do lower her damage I would suggest increasing her health regain because her play style is getting close to the enemy, and with the amount of CC she wouldn't be a good tank to pick after her damage is lowered.

Those are just my thoughts. I am sure many don't agree. How ever I do like the champ, and play style, and I don't want the adjustments to make her overly unplayable. that's all. keep it civil guys.

I fixed it. Sorry I forgot it was a she. Lol.

At least you didn't mistake Rek'sai. So much crazy there.

Lol. True. What are your thoughts on the new champ, and knowing they will adjust her damage?

I don't think you should put too much faith in her tentacles. Summon them when you can and abuse their power, but she packs a punch without her passive.

She's a lot like first week juggernaut Darius but with a much less reliable heal. Her lack of escape is a massive weakness.

Having fought a lot of mirror matches, I've noticed she can turn the tides of a fight out of nowhere. Given the "stomps" people complain about, this is a good thing. I've lost lane, but one well placed ult helped my team win the game. Losing lane and feeling useless all game sucks, but I don't fully feel that with her.

The debuff sucks when you have a slow attack speed. I'm also not sure if her tentacle damage scales off of anything.

Overall, she's powerful and chaotic. Which is what the preseason is all about. I like her, but I'm tired of seeing people build warlord on her and not building crit.

With her lack of escape being a strong weakness you don't think her passive tentacles giving a slow or pull back wouldn't help much?

I mean I am just thinking about what to compensate for toning down the damage because in the end she has to get up close to the enemy.

She hits like a truck to compensate for her lack of escape. I'm pretty sure she doesn't have AP scalings because she would abuse Rylas scepter with no only her abilities, but her passive slowing people when effected by the debuff.

Like other juggernauts, she doesn't have much CC. There's a reason for this. Would you want Mordekaiser to be able to slow you so you can't escape his third Q?

Good point. I don't know... I am just worried I guess. When I see a good champ made and fun to play they have a bad habit of adjusting more than they should, and they don't see the play much because others are better.

I understand completely. In the end, as long as you like and play the champion, it doesn't matter how others view them.

Unless they get reworked. Then hell is raised.

Ya. Like the poppy rework. I like the old one better. I know her new ult is going to be abused so much, and then they have to do more changes. Its never ending.

Ralanr1 votes

Eh, I'm in the other boat. But that's just an opinion.

Hey I could be wrong. I am just a classic guy. I don't like reworks much. The one champ I am shocked that was not on the top list was sing. Lol. I never seen him played really. I am lucky if its one match.
