S6 Changes
So my thoughts on this are:
ADC changes, not necessarily buffs (though most of them are). I feel like graves might be more viable as a damage top now due to his close range, and Quinn becomes more of an assasin adc (kinda like twitch but more focused around mobility versus twitch's stealth). Also, Kog seems like he would be even more of a monster late game than he/she/it (lmao) already was. Vayne silver bolt changes don't seem that big (mainly cuz botrk nerfs and her base damage nersf, so she would be kinda shit even in the mid game). However some of the new items heavily favor ADCs. For example Lord Dominik's Regards is completely anti tank. The ability to do 15% more damage to a target that has more max health than you just seems a little ridiculous. It kind of defeats the purpose of having a tank, and I think that we will probably have another assasin/bruiser meta (this I am actually happy about, because competative play would become so fun to watch). Also, the buffs to phantom dancer seem pretty ridiculous as well. This item is not particularly skewed towards ADCs even though its a good item on them (imo) but rather towards attack speed based top lane bruisers like Jax (maybe fiora?). More scary is the fact that tryndamere, yi, and yasuo will be able to get their hands on this item and be unstoppable in a straight up 1v1 duel. Also, grevious wounds on an AD item completely kills Mundo, Vlad, and Swain. These are just my thoughts on some of the new item changes that I feel will have the greatest impact in teh game. I am not a PBE player so I will put my questions below and hopefully some of you hardcore veterans will answer them :).
As an Irelia main, I have my thoughts on a new build path, which would probably be more like Trinity, boots, Phantom dancer, then full tank. Anybody who has played on the PBE, could you please let me know how this build would possibly work? Would I be too squishy due to ADC buffs? Would I have to change my playstyle to fit this new build? Also, if you guys have any recommendations as to what I should do I would appreciate it if you could put it in the comments.
Also, like I stated before I don't actually play PBE, so I would appreciate it if the people hwo do could tell me what is broken and what isn't and how to deal with the things that are strong in the preseason when it comes to live in a couple of days.
Finally, I would really appreciate if everybody would just put their thoughts in the comments on anything that I missed. Anything that is broken or anything that is strong, please let me know and how to deal with them. I would also really appreciate everything having to do with Irelia's build and playing strategy in the new season because that is what will affect me the most.
Thanks everyone!
I am currently Silver 2 with pretty good stats on my main champs for each role (at least thats what I think, once again if you think I am trash please let me know in the comments and how I can improve lmao). But if anything that I stated above is wildly inaccurate, this is the reason why and I hope that you will let me know so that I don't sound like an idiot to everybody else I talk to.
I understand that I may have put this in the wrong section of the forums, but I am new here and I would kindly ask for your forgiveness. :) Have a good night and good luck on the rift everyone!
