That is hype. He hasn't even hit live. Calm down.

Tbh he looks a tad overloaded and will likely need the typical second week nerfs.

he's the best VGU because he remains faithful to the original champion

automatically puts him 3 tiers ahead of every other shit fest we've gotten

Sion remained pretty faithful in my opinion. To be fair, for most of the VGUs, not much of the old kit could be easily salvaged. Sion's point and click stun was just boring and OP, and his E was just boring. Sure, looking at the numbers was fun, but it was boring. His old R was also the MOST boring ultimate in the game. Just 100% Life Steal is not only incredibly binary in a Melee kit, but also weak by today's standards.

Poppy kept the good parts of her kit, being her W and E. Her W was changed a lot, but it still functions the same as before, being a movement speed boost with some passive defensive boosts. Her E remained basically the same as well. The toxic parts of her kit, being her Passive and R, had to go. They are WHY she needed a rework. Her Q was also changed since, while it wasn't just stupid, it was pretty generic and had some weird interactions that made balancing it difficult.

Ryze main problem might be that his reworks stay too faithful. His original kit was super toxic for the game and even the current iteration could probably be better (his W needs some changes I think if he will ever be perfect).

Heavily disagree.

Relative to his old kit, yes it is overloaded. But if you look at any modern champion, his kit is just fine.

if ww is overloaded, then what was release ekko?

super mega infernal overloaded?

Played him a ton on the PBE. He IS Great, he's not overtuned because he has not a ton of different effects in his kit, if anything numbers have to change but that's easy.

Big LincolnJan 12, 20171 votes

my only complaint is that he's better with item 3078 item 3748 than the on-hit items he used to build, it feels weird relying on so much burst

Malicious MetalJan 12, 20172 votes

He's more sustained damage actually, he easily breaks the AS cap once enemies get low.

I found myself using this build: item 3748 item 1413 item 3156 item 3742 item 3065

Big LincolnJan 12, 20171 votes

interesting

i was going for doing as much damage as possible up front with his ult Q combo, that way i'd be able to guarantee low hp for the passive to kick in. R->Q is two guaranteed sheen procs, about 400 extra damage, another 440 off titanic's active. seems like the best way to build him but i'll give yours a try

item 3146 seems potentially decent too

thats every melee non assassin in the game you are talking about

Big LincolnJan 12, 20171 votes

that seems like a problem to me tbqfwy

LordGeovanniJan 12, 20171 votes

i agree yet the rework was the chance to fix it but riot doesnt seem to want to.

xBushxJan 12, 20171 votes

OVERLOADED?

Please this is the FIRST reworked champ where they didnt go overboard. they just made him what he should have been.

Until I see numbers I wont know. But overloaded DEFFS NOT!

LordGeovanniJan 12, 20171 votes

Yorick cant go over board because they never even built my ship else i would excape these acursed isles

LeafSteelJan 12, 20171 votes

How is he overloaded?

Meep ManJan 12, 20171 votes

He actually seems not very overloaded to me at all. He has the perfect amount of stuff in his kit for his play style to function and has directions in his kit to point him towards what to build. In comparison to his old kit, it's very overloaded, but the old kit was actually so incredibly binary that Warwick was never played, meaning it was UNDERLOADED!

Tbh I think you forgot part of the quote.

#"Warwicks vgu is the best thus far by CertainlyT"

That makes the hype make more sense eh?
