SwiftKitten88··78 votes·16,268 views

first it was 8 min... then it was increased to 10 min because it actually did its job, then you realized and ruined the whole point of taking it and reverted it back down to 8 min

and now your testing it at 10 min again...

how about.. we just say 9 min and call even?

How can we call it even if 9 is an odd number?

(Riot) Stasis is so good that justifies nerfing Zhonya multiple times.

(Also Riot) Let's put stasis on a 600 gold item that everyone can use.

The history of BorK and it's on hit % hp damage is the same, 8%, 6%, 8%, then reworked the item instead of trying 7%.

It's true though. A nerf to stopwatch is a buff for Zed.

Maybe because getting an item for free that negates majority of a champ's dmg isn't healthy?

Thefrostyviking14 votes

Maybe it is if that champ has a very real deficiency in the counterplay department?

Most mages squishy/Low armor cant actually do shit about Zed when he has more than 1 item and starts roaming.

Anin7772 votes

They can? Ward? Don't overextend? The only reason games are decided so quickly is because bot is oblivious and have no map awareness. Wanted to use your match history for an example but you haven't played a single ranked game. You also have never played Zed in ranked. I'm sorry but I can't take you seriously.

Thefrostyviking4 votes

You seriously think that the majority of botlaners in even gold+ lack awareness and wards?

People know what wards do in gold, they are just making poor decisions but vision is rarely a problem even in gold, and the same goes for anything above as far as wards are involved.

And you dont fricking need to play a champ to tell what they do.

Fact is, the moment zed gets through his very, very safe laning phase he can immediately start roaming around, towerdiving a slow target like say Ashe is easy for they can never hope to escape or survive a combo without flash.

Then he snowballs ridiculously hard, all while being quite safe due to his mobility.

And not having ever played ranked? Homie i made it to plati in about 85 games when i was playing solo from silver 3 ._.

And while OP.GG doesnt differentiate between ranked and flex que you can at least see my successful picks to get an idea.

And what´s more, dude you are writing from what seems to be a smurf account, come back when you have the balls and self esteem to write from your main one, otherwise you truly have absolutely no ground whatsoever to rank shame, all you archive by writing from a smurf while insulting others is looking like a clown.

Smurf telling others he cant take them seriously, like a guy who enjoys screwing over lower elo people "for fun" should be talking.

GayFluffyUnicorn3 votes

Yes. People are dogshit at this game. Anything below mastes=pure garbage.

IDEMO NA MUDA1 votes

lol? I've played with every single elo in this game and from my personal experience, gold and low plat lack big time in map awareness. They might ward, but that ward doesnt seem to do any job since they don't look at the map.

Thefrostyviking1 votes

Really? When i play mid or even jungle the vast majority of my botlaners will respect my pings, even in gold.

They might be a bit bad at using pink wards but as long as they respond to my pings i dont really mind.

Of course there are people who seem to have muted everything and everyone and cant see pings but those are thankfully few.

I think you underestimate just how worried people are about letting an assassin...or something else really, snowball off them O_O

IDEMO NA MUDA1 votes

Usually, since i am playing flex lately until meta becomes normal again, even tho i am p1 on flex and d3 on soloq, i often get golds / low plats in my games and even if i ping them on their champion so they CANNOT unsee the ping, they ignore it and they die. That can happen in every elo until diamond unless you've got a boosted / hardstuck d5's. Played with a d5 botlane today and even after my every ping wasted on them and every ping wasted from my midlaner, they managed to die because they just can't fall back.

This doesn't even affect zed since his mark last 5 freakin seconds. Maybe you can zhonya the mark but it doesn't change anything since he can finish ppl off after the zhonya duration anyway. Bs champ.

Death Mark lasts 3 seconds, Hourglass lasts 2.5

If you Hourglass before he lands, Death Mark fizzles and goes on a full CD. If you Hourglass just before the Mark pops, it deals no damage.

How big is your brain? Mine is huge.

how about we stop giving it for free? it's an obnoxious item

I wasn't aware that using up one of your six rune slots qualified as "free"...

Let's look at this season as a whole

  • Support got nerfed.

  • ADC got nerfed.

  • Mage waveclear got nerfed

  • Bruisers got buffed by Conqueror

  • Assassin's are like BUFF BUFF BUFF BUFF BUFF BUFF

6m is what it needs to be. The WHOLE point of it was to slow snowballing of "I hit lvl 6 time for me to get a guaranteed kill" champs

Akali is SO HOT9 votes

If it's at 6 minutes, then everyone takes it because it's so powerful and you can use it right away. If it's at 10 minutes, then not very many take it at all because it takes too long to come online. 8 minutes is the perfect middle ground tbh. Not too early that it's mandatory and not too late where there were 5 or 6 times were you needed it, but it wasn't online. Even at 8 minutes it's still not that popular so I don't know why they're messing with it again. If they really want to increase it, then 9 minutes should be max, but 8 is fine and there is no reason to buff or nerf it.

How in the hell has no one mentioned yet that it used to be 6 minutes, not 8?

Remove the rune entirely and replace with a rune that says "decreases stop watch purchase gold by xxx."

Stop watch shouldn't be free Even at 10 mins

i also would have added a space between timer and "again".. but for some reason beyond my comprehension I'm not allowed to edit my thread title after a specific amount of time.

Stopwatch should just be deleted. The item, the rune. All of it. Save that crap for Zhonya's. Just make summoner 21 stronger if people need a way to counter an all-in so much.

Larriet3 votes

It was originally 6 minutes, was it not?

Daddy Ants2 votes

Champions like Vayne Zed Yasuo Riven Draven in my opinion are champions who should live around 49% win rate.

Hard to play champions shouldn't also hold extremely high win rates.

8 minutes is too late

squishy mages need a way to deal with level 6 all ins as soon as they pop

zed is already too strong with electrocute, give us some sort of counterplay to his bullshit

make stopwatch unlock for EVERYONE as soon as ANYONE hits level 6

Ok sure but why1 votes

They should just lower the stasis time of Stopwatch to 1 second and let it be used even earlier

I always just use Ingenious Hunter when I play champions that use Zhonya's

The Taco Kat1 votes

A shorter Zhonya's invulnerability is much stronger than a longer one, contrary to popular belief. Honestly, the rune stopwatch should simply be destroyed upon consumption to make it balanced. It provides 600g by it just existing, which is incredibly overpowered. It should be something that can act as that gold amount or have it be one use with no 600g benefit attached.

Ok sure but why3 votes

Yeah, I got no idea why Riot thought, "Hmmmm, we have absolutely no real utility runes to add to the Inspiration page. Let's make 3 of them based on getting free gold!"
