Commentary (7.1e)
- "Some runes are obviously very good in the early game. So in the domination tree, especially when you look u when you look at something like cheap shot or even empowered attack is a great example. Empowered attack is a very early game focused rune, right?" (08:40)
- "I think this can also be underrated on champions like Misfortune who third whose third ability slows or Lux who's like a lot of champs that can proc it on their own very often with ADC. By the way, since every ADC has some kind of CC, right, with their support, let's say you're playing with a Nless support or Leona support, there's many opportunities for you to go cheap shot and make your laning phase quite a bit stronger. Like let's say you're playing Nless versus Leona and your ADC goes cheap shot. That extra like 15 to 20 damage in the laning phase. True damage can add up and help against Leona in these trades, right? So cheap shot does I feel like has its place but often gets overshadowed by other rooms. Uh and it's rare that you're going to go precision and then take cheap shots here on like ADC, right? Because most of the time you're going to get more value from bone plating. So that the main issue with cheap shot is where it's located. it's very hard to really make use of it. And then you have sudden impact which pretty much take on all assassins." (01:05:47)
- "Zoey might make use of empire attack might make use of sudden impact. Might make use of cheap shot. I don't think you go any of I don't think you go attack on Zoe though." (01:07:15)
