His Jax was the first ban on C9's side, and for good reason. If any team in the entire LCS is smart, they will never let Zion play Jax again. He's an absolute beast on him. Sure, he got it on the day before against TSM and lost, but it was really, really close.Navizel wrote:

Feral flare is bit op so it's to be expected. The concern is that knowing the balance team, they might take a look at the champions that use wriggle as well and that's be terrible.Vulf wrote:
I'm kinda sad the new feral flare is probably going to get nerfed into oblivion. Play your Yi, Jax and Warwick jungles while you can.
What's even more sad that I was kinda shifting towards Yi lately and if he gets caught in the nerfs.. Well there is hope.
Third ranked penta of the season. People throw like they're paid for it. I'm tempted to say "fucking platinum, man" but I know it's the same everywhere.

I doubt they will nerf the champions this time around.
Feral flare will probably get nerfed. Only issue I have with it is it allows you to solo baron with a very low risk. Even junglers that solo dragon at levels 5-6 get dangerously low. That's not the case with FF when it comes to baron.
Another thing I'd like to point out is that if this item gets nerfed it will be because of low elo. The item scales infinitely and silver and bronze players prolong games often. Higher up (high diamond) if you pick Yi to try and abuse this item you will probably get early invaded and insta gibed by a shaco or lee sin.

We are currently monitoring the power level of Feral Flare after its recent release, as our current thinking is that it may be a bit over-tuned.
We prefer to let it settle a bit on the Live servers before making any changes, but it's possible some adjustments to Feral Flare may make it into 4.6.
Master yi with feral flare carries games.
The patch should be up by tomorrow in PH (or today since it's already the 9th here). Also, URF must be getting a LOT of attention for it to be extended again until Monday. I guess I can try out a few more champs then.AlfimusCore wrote:

Master Yi is borderline broken at low elo. With or without FF. LOLGraciee wrote:

He can punish people hard for being out of position. Same applies to other champs no one plays anymore. Warwick, Darius, and then you have your snowballers like Kat and Akali who all do extremely well against people who lack good mechanics and knowledge of the game.
I've played around with FF on PBE for awhile before it was launched and it was kinda OP then. I really think the change it needs is to do a whole heck of a lot less damage to baron at early levels and possibly add a cap to the damage and healing so it's not ridiculous at low elo.
So far out of the 10 or so games I've played across my smurf and main account the most stacks I've gotten on FF is about 18. Games have been decided way too early and if you get shit stomped hard enough investing in wriggles is a waste of gold.
Can confirm

Whoever said that purple team is in a disadvantage and is forced to lane swap on LCS stream, I wish it was never said. Seriously, every solo Q game I play now I see people switching lanes whenever they're on purple side. As a top lane main it's fucking annoying, to play against a Caitlyn, Vayne etc every game who will just poke the hell out of you. :/. Idk if others have this too, but hell I have this about every solo Q match I play :/
tbh i never saw a lane swap in my solo Q game'sP r o m i s e s wrote:

Thanks. surprised how players on our side seldom trashtalk in URF though. Atleast they know that this game mode's purely for fun.ItsukiKun wrote:

I want to share my thoughts on Feral Flare, but I haven't even tried it yet. is it a good replacement for Lizard on Lee?
help i think i'm turning into doublelift

PSA on skin choice.

Is it better to just spam one champion or a variety of champions through ranked?
I got gold + last season only playing Warwick in like 30ish total ranked games. So yeah spam one champion to climb.
I would say 1 for each role is optimal, maybe 2 in case the other one gets banned/picked beforehand
Or just play a champ that can do well in pretty much any lane like Warwick lol

Also depends how much experience you have with each lane. And if you like using a champion that's banned a lot like (from what I see anyway) Leona, LeBlanc, Syvana and Vi, for example, have a backup for that too.BrokenArrow wrote:

If you've been playing normals for a while, maybe have two champions for your preferred lane?
1-2 per role is definitely the better option unless you are really good with certain champions.
There are quite a few champions that can play every role decently. Lulu, Kayle, Gangplank, Heimerdinger, Lee Sin, Elise.
I didn't include stuff like Warwick there because if you try to play Adc or support Warwick you will most likely get 4 man reported if you lose the game.
Then you have a bunch of stuff that can play at least 4 roles decently. Jayce, Nidalee, Kennen, Karma, Riven, Maestro Yi.. list goes on.

Just play whatever the fuck you want.

Why is Quinn so fun to play, oh my god, she has a move that makes her go into someone's face and out in a single key press. Why would I even need other skills, this is satisfying enough.

What's the best role and/or champion to carry in solo queue? :V
Mid who can snowball e.g. Akali (at least in lower elo) and LeBlanc
or tanky/bruiser top like Jax and Renekton

If you are good enough at jungle you can demoralize the enemy team enough to surrender at 20. I did this often when I was low silver last season.
In low elo taking a strong early jungler can be quite devastating (Kha, Udyr, Lee Sin, Xin, and more !) since you can literally walk into the enemy jungle at level 2 (after Blue and big wraith) and destroy the enemy jungler at his red without retaliation 90% of the time, then proceed to get ahead of everyone.
This. What experience has taught me is that it's super effctive to camp one specific lane. Gank it over and over and over again, fuck farming and anything else. In result, the enemy laner will be super demoralized/pissed and his team will flame him until he ends up intentionally feeding or going afk. This works from Bronze to Gold. Sure, you might lose pressure on objectives, but most of the time the enemy won't capitalize on it hard enough to make up for effectively a 4v5.Vulf wrote:

This might not work if your other lanes feed, it'll probably backfire and you will be the one getting blamed. But that's the case anyways if you decide to become a jungler.
I carried myself to platinum 1 with spamming riven top but she was more OP at the time.Graciee wrote:

This was about a year ago. I quit playing ranked seriously after that and stopped playing league 2 months ago
With how Feral Flame works right now, Junglers are in a great position to carry. Master Yi is just unstoppable, and Warwick is surprisingly strong.Graciee wrote:

Warwick is like invincible now if he gets on some carries but it's not that big of a deal.

nobody in low elo knows how to deal with it. you can roam into their jungle or bot/top very easily and duel pretty much anyone. mid game you're unstoppable if you got a couple of kills, which really isn't hard with how strong riven is against mid squishies, and late game so long as you stay out of their focus and cc you can just instagib their carries
if you get your mechanics nailed riven is a shitstomper
Feral Flare already has nerfs on the PBE and probably more to come. I wouldn't get too comfortable with the junglers abusing it just yet.
Aww, I just decided to go jungle warwick for once. Feral flare allowed me to lifesteal past the tower aggro.
honestly. with the feral flare up i still don't know how to jungle. especially when i'm under pressure. it's too hard dealing with team mates who flame at you for not ganking and they just overextend. it sucks even if i'm at gold. i already have good positioning and mechanics of all lanes but jungling is not just for me. if i jungle the only champs i can do is lee, vi,j4,kha. just tried shyv but i was more comfortable with her at top. honestly jungling is hard. and i wanna learn it

How to jungle:
Play Warwick.
Be placed against people better than you all the time.
Not know how to jungle.
Run the fuck away because you just went into a 2v1.
Win the match
Build a feral flare until the nerfs get here. After that, I don't know.

Side note
You need a connection which looks like this for this to work.

The current FF nerf is going to hurt Warwick more than the others because he is slower at clearing. Which makes me think they are going to nerf this item a lot more. Yi and Xin are beyond obnoxious when they get this item and they fly through the jungle incredibly fast so the stack transformation increase nerf does little to them.
I don't get why or how people are getting away with sitting in the jungle until this item is stacked. I see this in diamond and challenger games. Warwick is incredibly vulnerable early game as is Yi so you can very easily push them out and steal their buffs and camps which hurts them a lot. Only exception here is Xin and Shaco who have ridiculous early games. I guess people forgot that counter jungling actually hurts a lot of these junglers. God forbid Shyvana and Udyr make a come back. Those two were a living nightmare for me as Warwick back in season 2.

That's why I think FF doesn't need further nerfs than already on PBE. Sure it's still strong, but you can punish people using it pretty hard. Even more nerfs will just result in less variety in the jungle and we'll only see Lee/Kha/Elilse/Pantheon/Vi etc. again, which is pretty boring to be honest. As you could see in the Challenger Series, if your team makes sure to pressure the enemy jungler early there isn't much he can do.Vulf wrote:
