@Reck (since I started making this post and got distracted for a while):

They're both relatively difficult champions.

Brand is difficult because his ideal combo changes depending on what situation he is.
Cassiopeia is difficult because she take good coordination between her skills to be effective.

You're predominantly AD carry when you play prearranged at your level right? (This is based on looking at your ranked stats last season and from memory.)

So that would mean that Graves is pretty much a must buy for you.

Sad thing is he really isn't fun. He has no cool projectile. (tbh it is hard to see) and his burst is go in tear shit up come out with no real cool tricks to do other than dodging shit. He is a very no skill champ so long as you can position which isn't a problem for you.

As for what i'd get to have fun would be Wukong or Talon.

Having just bought Cassie, she's a fucking ton of fun. Hard to learn so far, but a lot of fun.

Graves is absolutely amazing and rapes face, I think you'd enjoy him.

Galio's good but I don't think he's a top priority buy right now

Talon is pretty facerapey too.

So, Brand (and keep in mind I do a lot of 3v3)

In those beautiful worlds where they stuff two melee on the bottom = gg I win. The raw amount of gold loss they end up with seems to tip in my favor.
However, what the HELL do you do when its something like cait and ashe? I can't harass and they just seem to scale faster.

Go solo top instead of going bot as brand in 3s. Go mid in 5s. Brand is more of a solo laner.

Has the dramteam registered for the tournament yet?

I only see TIL and ISMETA. Apparently ISMETA is in Bronze Tier and we're one tier below in Stone Tier.

Caitlin is a strong laner and a difficult matchup. Ashe should get destroyed by Brand in lane whether on TT or SR. Harass with your pillar and try to zone her off farm with the threat of a big combo. Ashe's damage is low early on while yours is high, and unlike a melee character she can't buy magic resist early without setting herself behind.

more people asking me about cassiopeia, more i want to amend what i said earlier, particularly about the skills bit

i've decided that maxing w second is strictly inferior to maxing E second (i was beginning to think that E was only a better choice if your team needed burst; this is wrong)

ulting; a good flash/ult combo will have as much of if not more of an effect on a teamfight than a well-placed stun tibbers, flash/ult/drop spells and then start backing away during the split-second periods while you're waiting for cds (remember, micro is your friend as cass - learn to cast while backing away and you'll be fine)

tristana is probably the single strongest carry late-game aside from kog


I agree, damage wise she is.

I used to main as trist when i first started, i'd say i've got at least 200 games as her under my belt and that i was probably playing her quite well toward the end. Yes her damage late game is massive - i find her lane phase to be as strong as most other AD carries played well and there's plenty of casters she holds her own against as well. I never really had much trouble playing her in mid besides from a few charactes which liked to pwn me.

That being said - i would swap out some of her auto attack damage for something more in the skill department. Her ulti is fucking weak, i don't think it scales with AD something which caitlyns does and the damage becomes fairly pointless the pushback isn't all that strong, vayne can pin people against a wall with after a push back can kick out some serious damage etc trists escape mechanism (her w) is also clunky, it's been mentioned before but how many times have you managed to get CCed mid jump? that should not be happening. Her E is nice in lane phase, the exploding minions can really keep people away from farming whilst you're actually farming but past that it becomes pointless with it's tickling damage the active needs a rework.

I would personally find a little loss in her auto attacks which are strong to be a good trade for a bit of AD scaling on her skills, a slightly lower cd on her ult / W to be less clunky.

She would be ALOT more fun than currently which is the main reason.

The pushback on the ulti is amazing. Sure it doesnt do damage, but it doesnt need to. Not every champion needs to have all their power backloaded into their ultimate, anyway.

I agree with making w/e a bit more responsive though. She's so clunky to play. It really is awkward. Could take base damage of the spells in exchange, I wouldnt mind that at all.

Yeah, her E's cast time is a bit too long for my liking (much like W, but if that were instant, she'd be a bit broken); her W is clunky, so, yeah.
And I don't know wtf you're talking about by saying it doesn't do damage; it does damage in the early game, like it's supposed to, and in the late-game, it's only for pushback, like it's supposed to.

My problem with trist is and unless changed always will be that her damage late game is simply from standing there and right clicking targets like a tard. That is not fun game play. She's great up until late mid game where the damage on her skills drops off and you're just autoshotting it does not make for compelling game play.
