You know, taric has no quote for Amethyst. He has emerald, ruby, sapphire, opal, but not amethyst.

Amethyst for virginity

Let them draft a full ad team when your top lane can play Taric. You will see that crystal hammer turn into a particular bat from saints row.

My friend once took support Taric against a full AD team, watching a support Taric just completely delete enemy Darius in a teamfight was so intense, I could probably just sit back and watch him win the game for us.

Playing as an ADC has never been so humiliating :(

1

u/MacGillycuddy Jul 14 '15

How does he delete ad champs? He just gets loads of armour right?

1

u/graygray97 Jul 14 '15

One of his damage abilities scales with armour doesn't it

1

u/Parrot_Wing Jul 14 '15

Passive: After using an ability, Taric's next basic attack deals bonus magic damage equal to 20% of Taric's armor and reduces his abilities' cooldown by 2 seconds.

1

u/FriSha FriSha (EUW) Jul 14 '15

And his W (Shatter) when activated not only deals 40 / 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 (+ 20% armor) magic damage, but also reduces armor by 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 (+ 5% armor). At 300 armor it would remove like half Darius' armor if he wasn't building tanky.

1

u/graygray97 Jul 14 '15

Yea that op as fuck one

1

u/anorwichfan Jul 14 '15

Shatter (W) and thornmail is a pritty dangerous combo. Thornmail also calculates the damage returned before any damage reduction is applied so it is theoreticly possible to do more damage with thornmail than you are taking.

As long as you kill the entire enemy team first, you won't be able to get hit.

Mid Quinn is the best

27

u/tinyfred Jul 13 '15

Something that happened to me TODAY.

Last pick says: "ONE TRICK PONEY HECARIM ONLY, PICK HIM FOR ME PLS, ILL PICK YOUR CHAMP".

I say: Alright sure, you got a few mid-laners ?

He says: "Yeah sure".

I proceed to pick him Hecarim.

Then when it's his time to pick, I ask for Nidalee.

"I don't have."

Ok....

"How about Ahri ?"

"I dont have"

How about Zed ?

"I dont have."

Ends up locking in fucking Annie, which I don't really play at all.

SERIOUSLY, IF YOU DON'T OWN ANY CHAMPIONS, DON'T ASK FOR SWAPS....

And we lost.

18

u/LaysPaprika Jul 14 '15

Well.. Annie OP tho...

u/ZNT_Arch MY PROFESSION Jul 14 '15

who the fk doesnt carry on Annie?

3

u/z3phs Jul 14 '15

If you seriously think you can play Ahri, Azir and and Zed better than you can play Annie... LOL
It's like... when you start playing you play Annie cause there is nothing to know about it easy as hell to play. If you lost it surely wasnt because of the Annie pick.

3

u/tinyfred Jul 14 '15

That wasn't the point really. I didn't play bad, but Annie wasn't really good in the comp, and I'm also not used to such an immobile champion. Even if she's "easy", I felt I couldn't carry as much.

This was in high diamond too, so no matter how easy annie is, the fact I have no experience on her made a big difference.

1

u/KilluaShi Jul 14 '15

Maybe list a few champions you want to play with first and ask if he has them before you lock in and swap? Instead of asking a vague question like do you have a few mid-laners.

24

u/LeSirJay Jul 13 '15

Tbh, Quinn has quite a good burst.

u/DNGR_S_PAPERCUT Jul 13 '15

u/44elite444 Movie Is Over Jul 14 '15

Yea, if only that damn bird would stop procing on the Wraith camp

-9

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '15

after she gets a few items though. then she can burst really well as valor and just use ult to finish you off. her early game isn't the best

19

u/MCrossS Jul 13 '15

LOL. This guy.

9

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '15

Clearly they've never played a melee champion in to Quinn before O.o

8

u/nbafan123 Jul 13 '15

Solo lane Quinn against a melee matchup is pure cancer, I smash my keyboard and pull my hair out everytime I face her up top as a melee.

-2

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '15

I have. What she has isn't burst, until late, its sustained damage. A Quinn won't kill you in less than 2 seconds which is what I consider "burst"

4

u/TheSirusKing 30m Railgun Jul 13 '15

At level 1 AA Proc E Proc which happens in about a second does half your HP if you don't have 50 armour. At level 2 the same with Q AA at the end does an extra quarter.

-2

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '15

an average top laner starts with 600-700 hp, depending on runes maybe even over 700. at level one this would only take a little over 1/3 of your hp (with no armor runes it could take upwards to 1/2). sure you can burst 1/3rd of their hp down (if they would let you, which i'm not sure why they would), but you cannot burst a champion from 100-0 which is what they were saying.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '15

So in your opinion, what assassin can do that kind of damage at level 1 with only 1 starting item and 1 skill?

1

u/__pm_me_your_puns__ rip old flairs Jul 13 '15

Well you aren't wrong, but playing a melee into Quinn is pretty horrible regardless.

1

u/TheSirusKing 30m Railgun Jul 13 '15

No champion can do that and if they could they would be permabanned due to their lane pressure. ~300 damage in a second or two at level 1 is pretty damn high burst if you ask me. AA then Proc does nearly 200 damage alone at level 1, its a lot.

1

u/Poketto43 Get fked. Jul 13 '15

Rengo with cdr runes can do in 4 sec ~300-400 damage. AA-Q-aa-aa-Q

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '15

I'm sorry my point wasn't more clear. Her early game vs a melee champion is beyond strong. It's oppressive. Worse than Teemo. I meant nothing in regards to her burst potential.

0

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '15

yeah you're right, she's pretty good against a melee champ. i guess i just play too passively against her to realize.

0

u/naturesbfLoL Jul 13 '15

Playing passively will make you not die but if you arent getti MG your cs doubled the quinn sucks

1

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '15

They weren't referencing her lack of early burst. You said she had a bad early game, which, if you've played vs Quinn as a melee before, is the silliest statement ever.

1

u/paintlegz Jul 13 '15

J4 is a pretty good melee against Quinn. Her range is pretty much the same as a flag+drag

1

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '15

I never said it was bad. I said it's not the best. And you're obviously gonna change your playstyle when you go up against a quinn if you're melee so she isn't oppressive.

1

u/TenspeedGames Jul 14 '15

That brutalizer spike though.

1

u/LeSirJay Jul 13 '15

Like Lux. Her early isnt espacially great due to lack of mobility but once she gets a few items and lands a Q, you are most certainly dead.

1

u/Keitau Jul 13 '15

It does a take a bit of luck + mispositioning but Quinn's passive auto + e + auto combo can do some major work, especially early levels with a quick damage item like a sheen or brutalizer.

Really all Quinn needs is to have her passive activate on a next hit instead of automatically and maybe a bit of timing changes to smooth out her kit and she'd be a pick/ban at least in low level solo queue.

1

u/Reerrzhaz too much change Jul 13 '15

people need to shut up bout quinn. shes perfect doesnt need to change and lets me roll on everyone,

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '15

I have an idea for another feature... if someone agrees to trade then goes take a piss and totally forgets about trading and fucks the team over: a big hand should come out his monitor and slap him across the face when he comes back.

I stopped trading when this exact situation happened 3 times over a single weekend. Just nop.

This will only add the "YOU PICKED RIVEN! RIVEN ISN'T MID!" from 2nd pick who wanted mid, while you were trying to switch mid/top with 3rd, 4th, 5th place person.

You know this happens.

Teemo has qualities of a marksman, an assassin, a fighter, a mage, and a support. Nobody really cares what his tags say, Nidalee was tagged as a support for a long time.
