Quinn’s Skill and Item Recommendation

League of Legends v3.03 finally meets us. And our new ADC is out as well. As a new ADC, Quinn is very powerful. And it’s also very difficult to play Quinn well. I’ve briefly introduced Quinn’s skill and item recommendation previously. Now I will introduce you Quinn’s rune and mastery build. MasteryI recommend 21 offensive masteries, 9 defense masteries or 21 offensive masteries and 9 utility masteries.Since passive skills are Quinn’s major damage skills, offensive masteries are particularly important to Quinn, especially when you cast physical pierce and damage growth. And the other 9 will be chosenaccording to the situation. If you want to enhance survivability, you can add the 9 masteries to defense. If you want to be more powerful in chasing and on lane, utility masteries are good choices. You can also mix and match. Anyway, as long as Quinn has 21 offensive masteries, the other 9 can be allocated according to your preference. RuneAs to the rune, according to my experience, Quinn doesn’t rely too much on speed increase items. W’s passive effect enables Quinn to deal damage to enemies quickly even though she doesn’t have many speed increase items. To make the best use of Quinn’s passive skill and deal more damage to enemies, use more offensive items and runes. So I will recommend:You can choose fixed damage physical rune as seal which will provide 9 extra physical attack.Glyph and seal can select fixed magical defense and physical defense rune which will provide extra defense ability and stronger survivability for you.As to quintessence, I recommend physical attack quintessenceor fix physical attack quintessence. The two kinds of quintessencewill make you more forceful in late and early game respectively. You can also choose physical pierce which will enhance your damage. In Season 3, the calculation of physical pierce is changed which makes it more useful.That’s all for today’s analysis. As time goes by, more and more buildings will emerge. Hope my article will inspire more thoughts. And if you have any suggestions or questions, please let me know.  

A Brief View on LOL Patch 3.03

It has been a week since the launch of LOL Patch 3.03. We have different view over updated champions and their usage and win rate are changed. Now let’s see the statistics over these changes made by Spreek [Spreekaway] (NA). The data are from LOLKing. 

Amumu

The sad mummy received some nerfs that made him even lonelier with what appears to be a large drop in pick rate. His win rate has also dropped slightly although it remains comfortably above 50%.Pick Rate: 8.1% --> 7.4%Win Rate: 54.5% --> 52.8%  

Ashe

Ashe received a modest buff to her Attack Speed per level which seems to have led to a small increase in pick rate and win rate.Pick Rate: 8.0% --> 8.9%Win Rate: 50.0% --> 52.0% 

Darius

Darius lost some of his infamous lane snowballing power with a significant nerf to his ultimate (it now only resets for 12 seconds instead of fully resetting). This appears to have led to a large drop in pick rate and more modest drop in win rate.Pick Rate: 10.5% --> 8.8%Win Rate: 49.4% --> 49.0%  

Garen

Garen has received some nerfs to his base regen, his tankiness from Courage, and his abilities now have longer cast times. These changes seem to have devastated Garen's win rate and pick rate.Pick Rate: 15.7% --> 12.7%Win Rate: 53.8% --> 48.0%  

Hecarim

Hecarim was tweaked to improve his early game while somewhat diminishing his godlike late game. Since the changes, Hecarim seems to have dropped off slightly in popularity although his win rate remains fairly close to his pre-nerf status.Pick Rate: 19.5% --> 17.7%Win Rate: 54.4% --> 53.8% 

Janna

Janna received a modest buff to her mana cost on Monsoon. Her play rate remains about the same while her win rate appears to have increased slightly.Pick Rate: 9.7% --> 9.8%Win Rate: 53.0% --> 54.2%  

Kayle

After receiving a lot of play at the LCS, Kayle received a set of nerfs which appear to have lowered her pick rate by quite a bit. However, her win rate remains only a little bit lower than pre-nerf.Pick Rate: 16.7% --> 13.0%Win Rate: 53.9% --> 53.4%  

Nidalee

Nidalee lost all of her bonus armor and MR in her cougar form. She remains quite popular, but her win rate appears to have plummeted quite far.Pick Rate: 21.9% --> 19.8%Win Rate: 50.25% --> 47.0% 

Taric

Taric received some tweaks to his passive and his armor aura. Although Riot seemed to intend these changes as a nerf, Taric appears to still be a popular (and very powerful) solo queue pick.Pick Rate: 55.5% --> 53.6%Win Rate: 56.3% --> 55.9%  

Tristana

Tristana received a similar buff to Ashe (an increase in attack speed per level). Since the patch, her popularity and win rate appear to have exploded.** It's important to note that this data is also likely affected by the changes to BoTRK -- a very popular tristana item.Pick Rate: 11.7% --> 20.11%Win Rate: 46.6% --> 50.4%  

Tryndamere

Tryndamere received huge nerfs to his AP build (since his heal no longer scales well with AP unless he has a lot of fury). Although many claim that AP tryn was unplayable after those nerfs (and indeed his play rate appears to have dropped significantly), his win rate seems to have settled quite a bit above 50% -- far higher than the win rate before AP tryndamere became popular.Pick Rate: 12.3% --> 4.7%Win Rate: 55.6% --> 53.7% 

Vayne

Vayne received some modest buffs to her mana costs as well as her base mana to help improve her laning phase.** It's important to note that this data is also likely affected by the changes to BoTRK -- a very popular vayne item.Pick Rate: 15.4% --> 19.54%Win Rate: 45.6% --> 48.5%  

Vi

Vi received a suite of nerfs, including base AD reduction, the possibility of having her Q cancelled for a short time, and lower damage on her W at early levels. Her popularity and win rate seem to have suffered greatly as a result.Pick Rate: 19.2% --> 16.1%Win Rate: 51.1% --> 48.6%  

Xin Zhao

Xin Zhao also received a suite of nerfs to his base damages as well as his cooldowns. These seem to have lowered his pick rate and win rate by quite a bit.Pick Rate: 32.1% --> 26.32%Win Rate: 53.9% --> 51.2% 

Zed

Zed received some tweaks to his base damages where he lost damage on his E and gained that same damage back on his Q. This change does not appear to have changed very much about Zed's pick rate or win rate.Pick Rate: 9.1% --> 9.1%Win Rate: 47.8% --> 48.0% Items**Remember, item win rate is unreliable as a metric for judging the strength of an item (I've included it for curiosity's sake only.) 

Warmog's Armor

Warmogs received yet another nerf, this time to its passive regen component.Buy Rate: 14.2% --> 11.7%Win Rate: 58.4% --> 57.3% Blade Of The Ruined KingBlade of the Ruined King was reworked to give attack speed and be more of an AD carry item. The item shot up extremely quickly in popularity after release.** This data is from before the hotfix, so bear that in mind.Buy Rate: 4.6% --> 22.2%Win Rate: 58.9% --> 56.7% Spirit of the Elder LizardSpirit of the Elder Lizard received a small nerf to its damage that seems to have slightly lowered its buy rate.Buy Rate: 3.5% --> 3.1%Win Rate: 60.2% --> 58.3%

DOTA2 Ranks First in RPG History of VALVE

Simultaneous users of DOTA2 on Steam now reach 297,010 and it exceeds that of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – 287, 411. Half a month ago, its simultaneous users have reaches 280,000. And it rises again on March 1st and becomes the RPG game with the most players in the history of Valve.
