Summoner's Rift

When the raw movement speed is greater than 415, there are two soft caps applied:

The raw speed between 415 and 490 gets multiplied by 80%.
The raw speed over 490 gets multiplied by 50%.

FallenAngelEyes

Not Riot Points.

@GraceNote I meant reduction to movement speed though, as in a slow cap. Sorry if I wasn't clear!

Ian Pugsley

@GraceNote is that indicating diminishing returns on increasing movement speed?

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes No, there isn't a slow cap

@IanPugsley Yes.

StrixVaria

@IanPugsley Yes.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote Looks like I'm gonna play with slow on Sejuani then!

Grace Note

7:24 PM

The caps are reflected in the actual Movespeed stat you have listed in the bottom left, though.

StrixVaria

Despite that, I've gotten my movement speed with Janna over 700 using Shurelya's Reverie, Ghost, and Boots of Mobility

And I think one other thing...

Ian Pugsley

good to know (I wasn't positive that high number there was faster speed)

StrixVaria

It was silly, though.

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes Oh, wait, nevermind, I'm wrong.

FallenAngelEyes

For future reference, Ultimate Bravery, a site which gives you randomized builds for characters to play for fun.

Grace Note

7:25 PM

> If a champion is affected by multiple slows, the strongest one will be fully applied, while the others are applied sequentially with 35% reduced effectiveness down to 65% of its original strength.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote Aaah, gotcha.

Anyone have any other suggestions for helpful links? So far I'm thinking LoL Wikia, Leaguecraft, Mobafire, the New User Guide on the main site.

StrixVaria

Don't Leaguecraft and Mobafire serve the same purpose?

I think only one or the other of those.

FallenAngelEyes

I tend to use both, as they have different userbases/guides on them and I like using as many resources as possible.

StrixVaria

Fair enough.

I really want to try Sejuani with a kind of dedicated offensive build. Sorcerer's Shoes, Rylai's, Rod of Ages, Huanting Guise, etc.

Her ratios aren't the best but if you throw in some MPen it should hopefully work out.

Q: Can Ionic Spark proc more than once with area on-hit attacks?

I specifically refer to Twitch's Spray and Pray, and Shyvana's Twin Bite while in Dragon Form. These both apply on-hit effects to everything caught in them, which had already been a source of monstrous hilarity with Tiamat. Now that Ionic Spark has been brought to Summoner's Rift, I've been pon...

When I play as Volibear and at the other team has a Zilean, both champs get a buff. Volibear gets: Chronokeeper Hater: "Not even Zilean could keep an armored bear out of the League of Legends". While Zilean gets: Armored Bear Hater icon with the text: "In my day, we would never have ...

Q: Should Alistar be getting kills?

Alistar is one of my main champs, but I notice that I almost never kill anyone with him. Just one or two by luck, so I normally build myself as tank. Is there any build or anything that can help me? Or is it impossible? Even if I can't be a super killing machine I would like to make more damage.

Q: What gets counted as "Healing Done"?

What gets counted as "Healing Done" in the League of Legends stats? The scoreboard after a game shows me doing all of 71 healing (some strangely small value), and other non-overt healers doing conspicuous amounts. The enemy Graves had the summoner spell Heal, which perhaps accounts for his he...

FallenAngelEyes

Feed attack! tower dives

@StrixVaria I can't edit it anymore. :(

Anywho, dinnertime flees

Grace Note

Hm... how much does Sejuani's Arctic Winds get from AP?

Tristan

@GraceNote I'm not entirely sure... I was focused more on building health for the bonus than AP.

StrixVaria

@GraceNote I think 10%, if that's the AoE around her.

I don't know the names, just the letters.

Her W gets 10%

Q gets 50% I think.

Grace Note

7:39 PM

@Tristan Ooh, I didn't realize it got a bonus from HP

StrixVaria

The other ones I didn't notice the ratios when I was playing.

Grace Note

@StrixVaria I got the name, wrong, anyway. It's Northern Winds (with Arctic Assault being her Q)

Wiki says .4, .1, .5, and .8 for QWER respectively

If it comes to damage, I imagine that, based on its amplification on Frost targets, that her W is probably her main damage source.

This is without knowing the actual damage values, though

StrixVaria

Her W was significant damage.

But I think if I do go for an offensive build on her I'll be stacking more MPen than AP

To make up for her less-than-amazing ratios

Tristan

@GraceNote From what I saw, her W was her main damage dealer, as her basic attacks applied Frost to whoever she hit.

Also, I'm still bummed @RavenDreamer declined my friend request. =(

Grace Note

@StrixVaria Not much in that department and a Void Staff seems a bit lackluster to me.

@Tristan Did he know it was you?

StrixVaria

7:43 PM

Haunting Guise, Sorcerer's Shoes, and Abyssal Scepter

Tristan

@GraceNote Probably not, even though I did tell him I sent him a request. lol

StrixVaria

Along with probably Sunfire Cape, and situational items

Probably not spectacular, but that's why I'll give it a try.

Tristan

@StrixVaria It seems like Sunfire Cape would be Sejuani's bread and butter.

Ian Pugsley

@Tristan so I have a feeling I like Sunfire Cape way too much - what types of characters should I get it on?

StrixVaria

@Tristan Yeah it seems to pair with her possibly even better than it pairs with Garen.

Ian Pugsley

7:46 PM

I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be getting it on certain characters

StrixVaria

@IanPugsley Get it on characters who like to stand next to the enemy for a long time. Garen, most tanks, and some tanky DPS like Malphite.

Grace Note

I've become entirely disillusioned about Sunfire Cape. It used to be something I looked at, but I keep cringing at the miniscule damage it affords without decent MPen and the like.

Tristan

@StrixVaria Jax and Sion as well.

Ian Pugsley

@StrixVaria been getting it on Mordekaiser

yeah and Sion

StrixVaria

I don't think Morde needs it.

Grace Note

7:47 PM

I wouldn't recommend it on Morde

You'd be better off with his W getting the damage to bolster his shield and give you spell vamp.

StrixVaria

Get a Hextech Gunblade on Morde

Ian Pugsley

I realized AP meant more damage which meant more shields

yeah, gunblade helped a lot last night

StrixVaria

Were you using its active?

Ian Pugsley

probably not?

Tristan

@StrixVaria Gunblade has an active?

StrixVaria

7:50 PM

@Tristan It damages and slows 1 target.

Ian Pugsley

@StrixVaria how do you use it?

StrixVaria

A better version of the Bilgewater Cutlass

Tristan

Here's a question: Would Sunfire Cape's magic damage count toward spell vamp?

StrixVaria

@IanPugsley You press 1-6 (corresponding to what slot it's in in your inventory) and use it just like a normal spell.

@Tristan Ask on the site. I really don't know.

Grace Note

@Tristan No

Q: Does Spell Vamp affect magic damage procs from items?

I've been pondering how best to build Ezreal in the new Dominion mode, and it's gotten me wondering: Are Magic Damage procs, like from Wit's End and Madred's / Kitae's Bloodrazor affected by the aggressing champion's spellvamp? I know they don't get counted as part of the base damage of the att...

league-of-legends

Spell Vamp is for active abilities, so it will not affect passive damage application.

Tristan

7:54 PM

@GraceNote Oh, alright then. If it did then I could understand getting it on Morde.

Grace Note

@StrixVaria I had the strangest game the other day as a Katarina where I got more kills with my Gunblade than with my ult.

StrixVaria

That's so weird.

Grace Note

I always end up just shy of the kill with Death Lotus, so I either need to Shunpo or shoot (or both) to finish off the target.

Tristan

@StrixVaria I had a pretty fun custom game with @Zamual05 yesterday. I was at ~360 AD, 1.9 AS, and ~4000 health with Sion. =P

StrixVaria

Of all the heroes in the game, I think I know Sion the least.

I really have no idea what he can do.

Grace Note

7:57 PM

I know Evelynn the least. Never turns up on free rotation, so few people use her.

StrixVaria

Also she's terrible.

Grace Note

Even @Fallen has her but I've never seen her use her to my recollection.

StrixVaria

Because she's terrible.

Grace Note

@StrixVaria That's why so few people use her, so I hear.

StrixVaria

They nerfed her really hard shortly after I started playing in...April or May last year I think.

And I've seen her in 2-3 games max since then.

Grace Note

7:58 PM

It was sometime in the summer when they nerfed her stun into a slow, I think.

April/May is when I started and she still at least had a stun back then.

But I don't even know what she does other than that, haha.

I had to play Sion to learn just what his E was, though. The rest I learned from his axe on my face.

StrixVaria

The funny thing is, I have actually used Sion.

It's just like a hole in my memory where his mechanics should be.

Tristan

@StrixVaria Sion gets a passive ability that increases his health by 3 for every kill he gets (minion/monster/champ). Stack that with Warmog's Armor (3.5 health per minion kill), and Atma's Impaler, and he can be a bit ridiculous.

StrixVaria

@Tristan If you like stacking health, you should play as Cho'Gath.

Grace Note

I look forward to the new bot season if only to finally test "What happens if I grab Storm Shield and use Surge while at max stacks?"

Tristan

@StrixVaria I did enjoy Cho'Gath when I used him... But I don't know if that's because I thought he was fun, or if it's because I got my first Penta Kill with him.

StrixVaria

8:02 PM

I think Cho'Gath is really fun.

Grace Note

You got your first Penta with Cho? Nice

Cho is one of my favorites and I'm not saying that just because it's my A51 avatar. I've considered buying him at several points, but then Kog'Maw week came out. And then Ahri came out.

Tristan

@GraceNote Strix was just as surprised, I think... Zamual might have recorded it. I need to ask him, as I'm not entirely sure how I did it.

Grace Note

I actually like AP stacking on Cho, or at least a Mejai's. With the health stacking and a Guardian Angel that I want anyway to not lose the health stacks, it's not too hard to keep the AP stacks.

StrixVaria

@GraceNote Cho is only 1350 now...you should pick him up.

Grace Note

@StrixVaria Oh yeah, they did reduce his price. I should look into grabbing him when my reserves open up.

StrixVaria

8:06 PM

I'm going to go back and forth 100 more times before I actually save up 6300 IP, but it's not going to stop me from constantly obsessing over figuring out who to buy.

Tristan

@StrixVaria Go back and forth?

StrixVaria

Pick a champion that I'm going to save up for, then change my mind the next day and pick a different champion.

The end result is saving up for someone but I won't know who I actually wind up buying until I get there.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote I like getting it on Leona for flavor reasons

StrixVaria

Most recently I had 3150 IP and was about to buy one at that price and then bought about 6 cheaper champions instead.

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes That's like getting in on Vladimir for flavor reasons.

FallenAngelEyes

8:13 PM

@GraceNote Also, this is because I've found she's hard to use effectively :(

@GraceNote It's so shiny on her though!

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes This rings in with the "She's terrible" that Strix has been stressing, hah.

@FallenAngelEyes But... sparkly vampire!

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote ...nooooooooooooo

Grace Note

Gyahahahahaha

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote I don't dare bring her to actual games because of people just think of her as a liability :(

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes That was actually in the Champion Spotlight for Vladimir, by the way.

FallenAngelEyes

8:14 PM

@GraceNote That's... scary...

Grace Note

He almost benefits from it, too, since he gets bonus AP for his health.

FallenAngelEyes

Haha

@StrixVaria I've made a single post there and it was only to comment to the artist who made the image @Raven linked to me

StrixVaria

I don't even think I have an account.

I generally just browse for Riot posts to see if they're doing anything useful.

FallenAngelEyes

@StrixVaria I think it's bound to your actual account. I don't remember signing up for a separate forum one.

StrixVaria

In that case I have an account but I've never logged in on purpose.
