And buffing Domination hunter runes to give 80 gold PER STACK.

Completing a 5/5 Ravenous Hunter for example will give you an extra 400 gold.

that was a tooltip bug.. It doesn't give bonus gold.

That was a tooltip that got put on the PBE before the actual test of the mechanic. It's a mechanic that will make it to the PBE, but at current, only the tooltip got there.

Like someone else said.

A zed would usually go eyeball regardless. This just gives the zed the option to go vision without LOSING damage.

But either way the runes need gutting instead of buffs.

Yeah I don't get it. He gets SLIGHTLY more AD earlier on a SITUATIONAL rune as opposed to just having the AD at all times later on in the game especially since eyeball collection stacks super faster with Duskblade.

So what does this have to do with "Zed" doing more damage? Your thread and description

Now zed does does more damage when he jumps on you after clearing a ward with duskblade

In the recent days, the Boards had threads about Zed that were awfully ridiculous, your thread is part of the circle jerk.

Because zed already clears vision a lot with duskblade and now gets additional burst that doesn't require stacking over time like eyeball collection does.

Everyone else would do more damage but you specifically called out Zed without significance hence why it's circle jerk.

The Zombie Ward on PBE is directed so it could be picked more since the other runes were out classing it most of the time, they are bringing diversity.

And Zed isn't going to ridiculously rely getting his damage from wards specifically instead of going Eyeball.

Don't ever try putting Zed in a bad spot on Boards. This is a low elo heaven who is convinced he is broken even tho every other assasssin, ap or ad, deal more damage than him.

like how you get downvoted for telling the truth. The boards aren't worth listening to half the time.

omeglaul

Of course I ban him, out of fear my botlane will gat roamed by him while ignoring my SSs. Also building Zhonias early just to be able to survive his ult delays my damage and therefore impact on the game in this curent early game meta.

You realize you're literally a lane bully to Zed, right? He tries to roam he loses his lane, his game, his lp.

I can't do that anymore because of the E mana nerfs on Ryze. Before them I was happy when the enemy midlaner locked in Zed. Also everytime I try to lanebully him I run out of mana, then 1 out of 2 things happen: 1. Knowing I have mana left for just 1 or 2 combos, probably even none, Zed goes all in me and I get 100-0 or 2. If I got Zed low enough the enemy jungler ganks and since I lane bullied him I'm too far away from my turret to retreat in time, thus I die. Probably just my personal experience but he is still frustrating to play against him because of his free W escape and point and click R

I'm S2 because I don't have time to climb and I prefer playing normals. Ranked tilts me a lot because of the 1 sided matchmaking and the inability to play the champions I like (and no I'm not a meta slave or an OP champ abuser). Also I've got real life problems more important than climbing. Don't judge people just based on their rank, especially now when SoloQ is League of Coinflips.

Gosh I wonder how anyone wins in ranked with "1 sided match making".

Ryze isn't banned much at that ELO, however the champions you dislike, they all are.

Beacon Academy2 votes

Mid laners ban champions not because they are worried about themselves, but because they know at least one of the other four players on their team will probably not pay attention and feed/snowball the assassin if they aren't banned.

If they ban because its a bad matchup for themselves, then they probably weren't that confident as a mid laner in the first place.

Zed Paradise2 votes

definitely shouldn't be speaking on behalf of all midlaners and if that was the case talon would have the highest ban rate

Beacon Academy1 votes

Just the way I see it.

Wanna point out where I said "all" midlaners?

Why would he ever take zombie ward?

Kairoptra1 votes

Zombie Ward changes on PBE make it so that your next attack after kill a ward, and it no longer extends the duration of the wards you put down. Naturally, as a Duskblade builder, he will easily be able to clear wards with Blackout, while the damage he gains would add onto the already potent damage from its other passive, Nighstalker.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Wait, what? Zombie Ward does no longer spawn ... well.... Zombie Wards????

For real? I thought the extra damage is just an addition and not a replacement.

Kairoptra1 votes

Well, it does, but only for wards you kill. It doesn’t turn the wards you place into them when they expire, though.

I never said anything about Zed, tho. Was just asking if they really remove the Zombie Wards from the rune, since that would be strange.

Shablagoo1 votes

Ya that reply was actually meant for the person above

Shablagoo1 votes

You think he would take this over free ad? I really think people are trying to grab anything to try and get zed nerfed, cuz this makes no sense.

Kairoptra1 votes

I agree that it’s still inferior, but the way you made it sound, it seemed as if you didn’t know about the changes.

"Hmm, this domination secondary rune is outperforming the other options in the game, especially in its own tree. It's also contributing to the power creep, what should we do?"

"Let's buff the fuck out of the other domination runes to add even more damage so that one isn't the only one getting picked"

Because why nerf the problem rune when you can make three problem runes instead.

IamURHERO3 votes

I hate the zombie ward changes. All it does it benefits assassins who have dusk blade. They are giving more damage on a vision rune. I thought they were going to improve the vision aspect of it. No instead we will just add damage too it. In a meta were there already a lot of damage.

This is Riot Rovient (who is making these changes opinion) "It's unlikely you'll get any damage from Zombie Ward at all in early laning phase, where flat damage Runes are consistently the most problematic. Players rarely start Oracle Lens rather than yellow Wards and Control Wards are an expensive risk to take at level 1, meaning you won't clear any enemy wards until after you pick up your scanner. So yes, there is a decent amount of flat magic damage attached to the Rune, but it's unlikely to have any impact on your early laning phase or even level 2-3 ganks."

Yet he doesn't talk about how this rune is a problem with duskblade.

As someone who plays enchantress support in the bot lane it is already hard enough with these mid lane assassins coming to bot lane who are taking your health down 100% to like 5% after one auto attack. Now this extra 30 to 90 bonus magic damage will take me down from 100% to 0%.

I'm curious what the CD is because that'll affect the rune greatly.

If you only have a small window to target somebody after clearing a ward, then the rune won't be worth much at all except vision.

With the recent influx of buffs in the Domination Tree, I think they should consider bringing back the old pbe nerf to Sudden Impact: Increasing the cooldown on Sudden Impact so assassins or anyone of high burst prowess are not able to trigger penetration effects in such short time windows so consistently and actually consider timing and planning their attacks.

Can I actually get a reply opposing why it's a bad idea instead of an anonymous downvote?

It's too ward reliant to be better than Eyeball.

Kairoptra1 votes

Yeah, like the new Ghost Poro, it just falls off way to hard when your behind. All in all, Eyeball Collection is just more reliable and takes less effort because the best way to stack it is to do what you would’ve been doin anyway: Getting Takedowns.

i read " lmao new dominion " and was hyped for a second , but then i realized you were just talking about the usual terrible management of the game done by rioters .

Yes bonus damages outside of champion kits and items are way too high and shouldn't exist at all .
