How does Xin Zhao have a bad late game? If anything, his late game is TOO GOOD.

% max current HP in a burst AoE. Constant knockups. Free AS and Defensive stats. CONSTANT. pineappleING. KNOCKUPS.

Doesn't matter. You said bot is never solo unless you wanna purposely lose Drag, yet the matches at Dreamhack have shown it can be effective.
I never said it was a common laning strat, but an extremely uncommon one. Or in this case, Extremely rare!

Also that was by CLG. In the qualifiers. Guess who didn't win? :3c

Why the stance change on his late game? I seem to recall you saying he needed to have a GOOD early and mid game to have a GOOD late game. Deny him early and he's pomegranate for the rest of the game.

Remember the game where they went "Duo Top"? They also forced the enemy team to "Duo Top" as well.

Not like it's hard to get a good early game. Xin's laning is pretty good, his jungle ganks are superb. Once he turns 6, his damage is insane.

Anything short of a terrible match up or horrendous skill at ganking; xin is alright.

Even if all goes bad; just go pure tank. His R has 0 scaling anyway.

For a moment I'd thought I'd broken a sweat

Nice; I was thinking about picking up LeBlanc pretty soon; from what I've looked around, she does have a high skillcap, yet can do so much burst if used right. Dat dash/harassment

she does have a high skillcap

no.

>Leblanc
>go 10/0
>Still useless after lane phase

no.

Orly? There's more than meets the eye. Or your expectations of QR apparently. For example, she actually has a good amount of short-term kiting against melee champs that have no jumps, team fight notwithstanding.

>go 10/0

Her CCs and blink trickery still makes her a frustration. Damage-wise, yeah she's bad against anyone that gets a Negatron.

It's also how her R works; the idea of chaining is cool. It's just plain ineffective in a teamfight though.

Summoners!

As we previously announced, we’ll be opening testing windows on our platform during off-peak hours where League of Legends: Dominion will be available for play. This will allow us to monitor platform stability and gather data in preparation for the full release of Dominion.

This first testing window for our limited League of Legends: Dominion beta test is scheduled for today September 21 at 08:00AM Pacific Time. The new game mode will be available for play for approximately two hours. After this window is over, Dominion will be switched off while we analyze the data. There will be more opportunities to help test our new game mode as we move closer to release so stay tuned for more announcements.

To the new fields, summoners! Happy Dominion-ating!

Coincidence that it falls on a time where I can actually play, and that I have class in 45 minutes?!!?

Now playing my first game of Dominion!

I've played a lot of LeBlanc because she's one of my favourites and I don't really run into problems concerning late game viability with her. I'm not sure if it's the way I play her but I still find I'm able to burst any squishy down, even when they build MR. Notice in the screenshot Ashe and Shaco had built a BV. Yes I was fed and after popping the BV I could still 1 combo them, but even when I'm not that fed I can still do hefty damage. If they build MR that's when I know it's time to grab a Void Staff.
The only real problems I face are when the team is full of bulky champs, in which case I build a DFG for the %hp active and then proceed to try to combo them. I still get kills this way.
All in all as long as you know how to play her and build her effectively you should still be viable late game.

And yes I do think she has a high skillcap. It's not just about Q+R+W combo, you have to understand her deceptiveness with her W and knowing when to mimic what at the right time is crucial. (ie, Singed coming at you at full speed? Chain him, then chain him again or someone else and hold them in place while you W away). If you don't know how to initiate and escape properly with her you'll get caught too many times.

Please tell me that was sarcasm.

Recorded with Fraps and LoL Replay! Overkill? Not really =D I'm also uploading the raw video recorded to youtube right now. Check for it in an hour if you're interested to see how it went.

Oh, and double kill with Garrison ftw! (it's not super great or anything) J4's summoner spell is Promote btw.

And of course my first game was a 4v5 from the start!

Zeal>Thornmail>Giant's Belt>Atma's>PD Rammus. Amusing. Probably not a great idea.

Please tell me that was sarcasm.

No why?
Also how's domo?

Wooooo i love dominion, its more suited for a suicide player like me

Will later add the LoL replays and maybe a vid in youtube.

Wooooo i love dominion, its more suited for a suicide player like me

I'll just play once and keep winning in ranked games
P.S i have 1518 rp no idea what skin to buy for jarvan

3 Games down. Funky Rammus build I liked, but it needs some tweaking. Master Yi was good. Singed was meh. I wanna try Talon next. Pretty herp-derpy so far. Looking forward to actual strategies getting used.
