Playing Xerath, Ziggs and Hwei, I really envy VelKoz's build variety. You might think "what's stopping you from changing your build?". Well, other artillery mages don't have the true damage that allows VelKoz to ignore magic penetration so every game, especially on Xerath, you build the same things to maximize damage. Every decision on Xerath is a question on whether you can ignore the penetration for a different effect, and the answer is usually "no". VelKoz can still build interesting items and not feel bad for forgoing the penetration, and even defensive items are still good on him because the AP from them still boosts his True Damage. I might start maining VelKoz.
@@anxietychild8159 Then that should include absolute focus, gathering storm, eyeball collection, bottom precision runes and the adaptive force potion from inspiration tree along with the two adaptive force shards. I don't exactly understand when he says you can't increase the true damage on your ult. Acquiring more AP increases your ult damage, which increases the true damage? What does he mean by what he says?
@@JumalaPlays He meant there is no way to increase true dmg, Here velkoz ult at lvl 1 does 450 dmg (125% ap), be like velkoz has 100 ap The ult will do 450+125 ap/true dmg(575 dmg), but with the new rune it does not modify any ap, just the ult dmg which is aoe 8% that gives 71.875 bonus dmg, this 71.875 dmg can be reduce by some complicated hp/mr system but as it is true dmg it directly increase it which no other rune does
@@JumalaPlays What he means is - no damage amplifications are applied to true damage from runes. Anywhere it says increase damage by - ignores true damage normally. However, items like spear of shojin, shadowflame, riftmaker, lyandri's, horizon focus - do. Example: Obviously building AD on fiora increases her passive true damage - but if she has last stand, and she's low, the true damage won't be increased by 12% - only physical damage will be. Contextual Example: Velkoz ult scales with AP, but the passive procs as a percent of his magic damage, thus, the 8% increases the magic damage, and therefore, the true damage conversion is higher. BUT the 8% is not applied (again) on the true damage part. Interestingly, on items like horizon, rift, lyandri, shadowflame - the stats and amp gets applied for both types of damage separately - which is interesting to consider. If anyone tested recently and confirmed it works differently - I encourage you to correct me. It's an interesting topic so I'm happy to discuss it in detail.
Reminds me of old Presence of Mind, which not only gave mana back after kills but also 10% of the remaining ult cooldown. Which was then removed to create axiom arc
its a strange interaction but it seems like the cooldown goes down 3 secs every takedown after you use your ult. Lux is going to actually be able to spam her ult with this rune.
your CD goes down 7% of the current CD per kill. so right after a kill, with no ability haste, Lux would get 4.2 seconds off her ult if she JUST used it. effectively, that portion of Axiom Arcanist is going to be lower value the lower your ult CD actually is. only characters like Karthus, Taric, Shen, etc. will noticeably benefit from the CD refund. and the value for everyone in general will go down the closer you are to your ult. regardless, none of these changes are actually going to affect current Lux. she can, with two items and a fully stacked ultimate hunter, already get her ult CD cut in half. Axiom arc WILL increase her base damage, of course. depending on her ult rank, that's 24 - 40 extra BASE damage per ult, per target hit. assuming just those two base items, and two adaptive force shards, and no other external factors, she's going to be dealing an additional 41 - 57 damage per ult. again, with just those two items, and this isn't even taking into consideration she can hit multiple targets. that's where the real money in Axiom Arcanist lies.
Honestly I still think the Noxian CDR boots got absolutely shafted. The other tier 3s have stuff like "gain 10% of your max HP as a physical / magic damage shield", "gain MS if you land an auto, increased if you're melee", "get bonus total MS" and the CDR boots get a measly 10% MS bonus *that doesn't stack*. And for what, 15 more haste? That's worth the entire 750 gold you're paying for it. The passive is so worthless it barely gets the item any more gold efficiency.
yes lmao. people already cry and say FF15 whenever they die once. can't imagine how they'll handle losing the first FoS. Azzap's got his work cut out for him this season to keep everyone's mental strong.
@@bossotako yes because this was pbe 2nd game of stream and in a casual match in pbe wich means bots I was here ( ezreal ) not to dunk on anyone just that its a fact
@@timothefarias3393 PBE is full of Riot bots to match people up into games without long queues. When mid was pressured, a lot more bots were coming to the lane to even the pressure, even if it meant losing their lanes (Mid was higher priority for lane loss than their current lanes), even if the champions were not strong enough to counter the lane pressure champion. In normal/higher ELO, nobody sacrifices their lane to die over and over. Team fights were also not a thing with the enemy team, which is a huge telltale sign of riot bots, as they are not programmed to work together due to the massive champion pool they have to play.
@@Serxne_ right, I do understand the dynamics of league ahah I was just wondering how you can differenciate a bot from braindead players but thanks that answers my question! Never played on PBE so I had no clue about the queue time on there
When you build CDR, you get diminishing returns on the percentage and number of seconds shaved off. But if you cound "ults per hour", doesn't it go linear?
Can someone explain how axiom arcanist is being cheesed? The way he's talking about it sounds like normally true damage shouldn't be affected by the rune, but there's no mention of that in its desription
feats of strength is the worst Idea RIOT has ever had sadly. now you have more reason to get flamed. "YOU DIDNT GET FIRST BLOOD AS X AGAINST Y??? NOOB!" while they are 0-13
if you used 2 braincells you would realize ambessa wont take sorcery tree, and if you used 5 braincells you would realise it would result in a huge 0.8% lifesteal increase if did work with her ult
That's what happens when you play in PBE. People are bad, AND the vast majority has high ping. But yeah, I stopped watching zwag for this reason as well, I understand the thought process of wanting to play with viewers, but the noob stomping is just not fun to watch after a while. At least azzap isn't raging on his mates.
Faker. Won this season. Even the colors of this map are like the colors of the map on which he played Nidali. Why would Riot do this? I think this is Faker's last year, it's like they are giving him a goal in his hands to say goodbye. I will not be surprised to see Nidali on honey from him.
It's disgusting. With these items, the window in which you can play is completely broken. Turning the game into getting a shot down against an exhausted mage is simply impossible. Ahri, for example, has always been difficult. At the same time, the role of the tank, which is supposed to counter the role of mages due to the huge rollback of the ultimate, makes the role of the tank absolutely disgusting. For example, maokai generally loses its meaning as a tank. This is a hideous target, easy to teach, super heavy, almost impossible to initiate.
Okay so like we meme saying Lux ult is pretty much a basic ability. It's actually just going to be a basic ability with these cooldowns.
Yup
Legit going to be significantly lower CD than stuff like Ashe E or WW W.
@@ThePppp89 already is, especially ww w
woo yay perma stun and nukes across the map. Pure cancer.
Blitz ult is also similarly low cd and is actually a better ult
